The hydrolysis of cGMP by phosphodiesterase was conducted in [18O]water to determine the site of bond cleavage and the stoichiometry of 18O incorporation into 5'-GMP. Three different forms of phosphodiesterase including a calmodulin-calcium-dependent enzyme in its basal and activated states were examined. The hydrolysis of cGMP catalyzed by each of the forms of phosphodiesterase proceeded with incorporation of 1 18O atom recoverable in the phosphate moiety of each molecule of 5'-GMP generated. No molecular species of phosphate deriving from the 5'-GMP generated containing two or three 18O were detectable. These results indicate that the phosphodiesterase-catalyzed hydrolysis of cGMP proceeds by nucleophilic substitution at phosphorus resulting in P-O bond cleavage. The stoichiometry of 18O incorporation indicates that the reaction proceeds without phosphate-water oxygen exchange when the hydrolytic reaction is catalyzed by diverse forms of phosphodiesterase in the basal or activated state. These considerations of the phosphodiesterase reaction help to establish the validity of monitoring the rate of enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of cGMP as a function of the rate of 18O-labeling of the phosphate of 5'-GMP when the reaction proceeds in a medium of predetermined 18O enrichment. 相似文献

The second messenger NAADP triggers Ca2+ release from endo-lysosomes. Although two-pore channels (TPCs) have been proposed to be regulated by NAADP, recent studies have challenged this. By generating the first mouse line with demonstrable absence of both Tpcn1 and Tpcn2 expression (Tpcn1/2−/−), we show that the loss of endogenous TPCs abolished NAADP-dependent Ca2+ responses as assessed by single-cell Ca2+ imaging or patch-clamp of single endo-lysosomes. In contrast, currents stimulated by PI(3,5)P2 were only partially dependent on TPCs. In Tpcn1/2−/− cells, NAADP sensitivity was restored by re-expressing wild-type TPCs, but not by mutant versions with impaired Ca2+-permeability, nor by TRPML1. Another mouse line formerly reported as TPC-null likely expresses truncated TPCs, but we now show that these truncated proteins still support NAADP-induced Ca2+ release. High-affinity [32P]NAADP binding still occurs in Tpcn1/2−/− tissue, suggesting that NAADP regulation is conferred by an accessory protein. Altogether, our data establish TPCs as Ca2+-permeable channels indispensable for NAADP signalling. 相似文献

Nitric oxide inhibits ADP-ribosyl cyclase through a cGMP-independent pathway in airway smooth muscle
White TA Walseth TF Kannan MS 《American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology》2002,283(5):L1065-L1071
There is evidence for a role of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) in intracellular Ca2+ regulation in smooth muscle. cADPR is synthesized and degraded by ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cADPR hydrolase, respectively, by a bifunctional protein, CD38. Nitric oxide (NO) inhibits intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in airway smooth muscle. The present study was designed to determine whether this inhibition is due to regulation of ADP-ribosyl cyclase and/or cADPR hydrolase activity. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, NO donors, produced a concentration-dependent decrease in ADP-ribosyl cyclase, but not cADPR hydrolase, activity. The NO scavenger carboxy-PTIO prevented and reversed, and reduced glutathione prevented, the inhibition of ADP-ribosyl cyclase by SNP, suggesting S-nitrosylation by NO as a mechanism. N-ethylmaleimide, which covalently modifies protein sulfhydryl groups, making them incapable of nitrosylation, produced a marked inhibition of ADP-ribosyl cyclase, but not cADPR hydrolase, activity. SNP and N-ethylmaleimide significantly inhibited the ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity in recombinant human CD38 without affecting the cADPR hydrolase activity. These results provide a novel mechanism for differential regulation of CD38 by NO through a cGMP-independent pathway involving S-nitrosylation of thiols. 相似文献

Changes in CD38 expression and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity in rat myometrium during pregnancy: influence of sex steroid hormones 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), synthesized by CD38, regulates intracellular calcium in uterine smooth muscle. CD38 is a transmembrane protein that has both ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cADPR hydrolase enzyme activities involved in cADPR metabolism. CD38 expression and its enzyme activities in uterine smooth muscle are regulated by estrogen. In the present study, we examined CD38 expression, its enzyme activities, and cADPR levels in myometrium obtained from rats at 14-17 days of gestation (preterm) and at parturition (term). CD38 expression, ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity, and cADPR levels were higher in uterine tissues obtained from term rats compared with that of preterm rats, while activity of cADPR hydrolase did not significantly change. In an effort to address whether changes in estrogen: progesterone ratio that occur during pregnancy account for the observed effects on CD38 expression and function, we determined the effect of different doses of progesterone in the presence of estrogen on CD38 expression and its enzyme activities in uterine smooth muscle obtained from ovariectomized rats. In myometrium obtained from ovariectomized rats, estrogen administration caused increased CD38 protein expression and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity. The estrogen-induced increases in CD38 expression and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity were inhibited by simultaneous administration of 10 or 20 mg of progesterone. These results indicate that the estrogen:progesterone ratio determines CD38 expression and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity. These changes in CD38/cADPR pathway may contribute to increased uterine motility and onset of labor. 相似文献

Medicinal chemistry and pharmacology of cyclic ADP-ribose 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a signaling molecule that has been shown to regulate calcium mobilization from intracellular stores in a wide variety of biological systems. Synthesis of structural analogs of cADPR has provided insights into structure-activity relationships as well as produced pharmacological research tools with useful properties such as, hydrolysis-resistance and cell permeability. The first generation of cADPR analogs was synthesized by a chemo-enzymatic approach that took advantage of the broad substrate specificity of Aplysia ADP-ribosyl cyclase. Analogs synthesized by this approach provided useful structure-activity information, including the importance of the 8-position of the adenine in determining agonistic or antagonistic activity and of the 3'-hydroxyl group of the southern ribose for activity. Hydrolysis resistant analogs were generated by replacing the southern ribose with a carbocyclic structure or by replacing the adenine ring with 7-deaza- or 3-deaza-adenine. Approaches to synthesize cADPR analogs by total chemical approaches have been recently reported. These approaches allow the synthesis of analogs with stable linkages between N1 of adenine and the northern ribose (or surrogate) that are not possible with the enzymatic strategy. This review will focus on the synthesis and properties of analogs that have been shown to have utility in dissecting the role of cADPR in calcium signaling. 相似文献

Codon usage in the vertebrate hemoglobins and its implications 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A study of codon usage in vertebrate hemoglobins revealed an evolutionary
trend toward elevated numbers of CpG codon boundary pairs in mammalian
hemoglobin alpha genes. Selection for CpG codon boundaries countering the
generally observed CpG suppression is strongly suggested by these data.
These observations parallel recently published experimental results that
indicate that constitutive expression of the human alpha-globin gene
appears to be determined by regulatory information encoded within the
structural gene. The possibility is raised that, in the absence of
selection, CpG decay can be used to date the evolutionary origin of a
mammalian alpha pseudogene from its active alpha gene.

Separation of 5'-ribonucleoside monophosphates by ion-pair reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have developed computer programs for characterization of ligand-binding systems in terms of continuous affinity distributions of arbitrary shape based on a numerical finite difference method. This method provides an excellent initial estimate of the affinity distribution, which can be further refined by means of nonlinear least-squares curve fitting. The method has been extensively tested for several cases including receptor heterogeneity, cooperativity, and for several examples of experimental design (e.g., ligand concentrations), and various levels of random and systematic experimental errors. The results provide a guide to experimental design, and indicate limits to the resolution obtained by ligand-binding studies, irrespective of the method of analysis. 相似文献

Light-induced increases in cGMP metabolic flux correspond with electrical responses of photoreceptors 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The metabolism of photoreceptor cGMP and the relationship of its light-sensitive regulation to rhodopsin photoisomerization and to the photoreceptor electrical response was examined in isolated, intact rabbit retinas. The dynamics of cGMP metabolism were assessed by measuring the rate of 18O incorporation from 18O-water into the alpha-phosphoryls of the guanine nucleotides. The photoreceptor electrical response was determined by measuring the aspartate-isolated mass receptor potential. Basal cGMP flux in dark-adapted retinas was 33 pmol cGMP X mg protein-1 X s-1 which translates into a metabolic rate in the rod outer segment (ROS) of 1.7 mM/min in ATP equivalents. Photic stimulation increased this flux as much as 4.5-fold. With continuous illumination, increasing intensity caused increments in cGMP metabolic flux to a maximum of 4.5-fold, with corresponding increases in the electrical response over the same 3-log unit intensity range. Tight coupling between activation of guanylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase was indicated by either no changes in cGMP steady state concentrations or relatively small fluctuations represented by increases of 50% at lower light intensities and a 12% decrease at one of the highest intensities. A stoichiometry of about 10,000 molecules of cGMP generated and hydrolyzed per photon absorbed was calculated for the lowest light intensity when the increment in cGMP metabolic flux per photon was maximal. Flashing light caused an increase in flux in proportion to frequency up to 1 Hz and a nearly proportional increase in the voltage time integral of the electrical response up to 0.5 Hz. This indicates that the temporal resolution, or "on"/"off" rate, of the cGMP metabolic response was as fast or faster than the temporal resolution of the electrical response. The concentration of cGMP remained relatively stable in spite of the marked acceleration of cGMP flux that occurred over the 32-fold range of frequencies tested. Taken together these results show that the light-accelerated rate of cGMP synthesis tightly coupled to hydrolysis becomes a primary energy-utilizing system in the photoreceptor and represents a response that fulfills certain of the fundamental criteria required of a metabolic event playing an essential role in phototransduction. 相似文献
