Tumor promoters and diacylglycerol activate the Na+/H+ antiporter of sea urchin eggs

Tumor promoters and diacylglycerol activate the Na+/H+ antiporter of sea urchin eggs

A F Lau et al. Exp Cell Res. 1986 Sep.

Abstract

Various tumor promoters (TPA, lyngbyatoxin and aplysiatoxin) and diacylglycerol induced cytoplasmic alkalinization of sea urchin eggs independently of intracellular Ca2+ release. This response stimulated protein synthesis and was blocked by amiloride or a lack of extracellular Na+, procedures which inhibit the Na+/H+ antiporter. These results suggest that the antiporter which is responsible for cytoplasmic alkalinization in sea urchin eggs is activated directly or indirectly by protein kinase C in a Ca2+-independent manner.
