RESUMO

The role of cytosolic ATP in exocytosis was investigated by using amperometric measurement of insulin exocytosis in pancreatic beta cells, which were stimulated with photolysis of caged Ca2+ compounds. Insulin exocytosis occurred with two rates. We found that ATP hastened and augmented the exocytosis via selective enhancement of the exocytosis with the faster rate. A nonhydrolysable analog of ATP, adenosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), which blocks ATPase, was even more effective than ATP, indicating that the phosphorylation event occurred downstream of ATP-dependent vesicle transportation and priming. The action of ATP was eliminated by a competitive antagonist of cAMP, and by an inhibitor of adenylate cyclase. These data characterize an ATP sensing mechanism for the Ca2+-dependent exocytosis involving adenylate-cyclase, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and, possibly, the fusion machinery itself. Thus, the fast exocytotic machinery requires both phosphorylation and Ca2+ for the final triggering and likely constitutes a distal ATP sensor for insulin exocytosis that acts in concert with ATP-sensitive K+ channels.
