Questions necessity of phosphorylation- and calmodulin-dependent steps in exocytosis; leaves open applicability beyond PC-12 cells.
The basic mechanism of stimulus-secretion coupling in PC-12 cells does not absolutely require protein phosphorylation or calmodulin-dependent steps.
Matthies et al. (1988) studied this question. Intracellular Ca2+ elevating agents, cAMP, phorbol esters, and CaM inhibitors was evaluated on Catecholamine release. The basic mechanism of stimulus-secretion coupling for catecholamine release in PC-12 cells does not absolutely require a regulated protein phosphorylation- or calmodulin-dependent step.
