X Abstract

Membrane interactions of tetradecapeptide toxin mastoparan (MP) and analogues (MP-3, MP-X and polistes MP), as indicated by inhibition of various enzymatic and cellular activities, were investigated. MP-3 was found to be the least active in inhibiting protein kinase C (PKC; activated by phosphatidylserine vesicles, synaptosomal membranes or phorbol ester), synaptosomal membrane Na,K-ATPase and proliferation and viability of leukemia HL60 cells. MP-3, however, was as active as others in inhibiting PKC activated by arachidonate monomers and phorbol ester binding. The unique properties of MP-3, the [des-Ile1-Asn2]- analogue of MP, might be related to its low functional amphiphilicity compared to others and useful in further delineating biological activities associated with or regulated by membranes.
