Summary

Thrombin-induced nucleotide disappearance from rabbit platelets labelled with 32P under oxidative and glycolytic conditions was observed. After adding thrombin to a platelet suspension previously incubated with 32P in the presence of succinate or of glucose + KCN, radioactive ATP formed under the oxidative condition disappeared rapidly from cells and medium, while that formed under the glycolytic condition remained within aggregates. Since no significant difference was observed between the amounts of ATP generated during thrombin-induced aggregation in both systems, the preservation of radioactive ATP in aggregates under glycolytic conditions cannot be attributed to an increase in ATP generation through glycolysis during aggregation. Rather, it is conceivable that consumption of newly synthesized ATP is markedly stimulated under oxidative conditions. Sonic disruption of labelled platelets followed by subcellular fractionation revealed that ATP generated in both the oxidative and glycolytic systems was found in the soluble fraction of the cells. The possible presence of sub compartments in “the rapidly labelled pool” of ATP in the soluble fraction is discussed.
