An analog of adenosine triphosphate, 2′(or 3′)-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5′-triphosphate (TNP-ATP), was synthesized as a reporter-labeled substrate of heavy meromyosin ATPase. TNP-ATP was hydrolyzed by heavy meromyosin in the presence of CaCl2 MgCl2 or EDTA.TNP-ATP had absorption maxima at 259 nm, 408 nm and 470 nm at neutral pH. When bound to heavy meromyosin, TNP-ATP underwent the characteristic spectral shift. The difference spectrum resulting from the binding of TNP-ATP to heavy meromyosin at pH 8.0 had positive peaks at 415 nm and 518 nm, and a negative trough at 458 nm.The difference spectrum due to the binding of 2′(or 3′)-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine (TNP-adenosine) to heavy meromyosin had small positive peaks at 420 nm and 495 nm. This difference spectrum was similar to that of TNP-ATP or TNP-adenosine produced by 20% (v/v) ethyleneglycol perturbation. The positive peak at 495 nm in the difference spectrum due to the binding of TNP-adenosine to heavy meromyosin shifted toward 505 nm, when pyrophosphate or ATP was added to the reaction mixture.These results suggest that the difference spectrum of TNP-ATP due to the interaction with heavy meromyosin arises not only from the binding of the chromophoric portion of the TNP-ATP molecule but also from that of the phosphate portion. 相似文献

Steroid 21-hydroxylase activity has been identified in many tissues, including liver. But it is possible that the enzyme found in the liver is different from adrenal 21-hydroxylase. In the adrenal cortex, steroid 21-hydroxylase activity is increased by corticotropin (ACTH); the effect of ACTH is mediated by cyclic AMP (cAMP), and presumably involves a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). It is not yet clear, however, how extra-adrenal steroid 21-hydroxylase activity is regulated. In the present study, we examined the effect of N6, 2′-O-dibutyryl adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (dbcAMP), forskolin, N-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (H-8) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on steroid 21-hydroxylase activity in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes to determine the nature of regulation of extra-adrenal steroid 21-hydroxylase activity. Steroid 21-hydroxylase activity in hepatocytes incubated with 10−11M dbcAMP for 24 h was 1.6 times higher than that in control hepatocytes untreated with dbcAMP. On the other hand, steroid 21-hydroxylase activity decreased by 20 and 50% when the cells were incubated with 10−5 and 10−3 M dbcAMP, respectively. The stimulatory effect of 10−11 M dbcAMP was not blocked by 10−5 M H-8 (PKA inhibitor), but the inhibitory effect of 10−5 or 10−3 M cAMP was. TPA did not alter the activity of steroid 21-hydroxylase. These findings indicate that the steroid 21-hydroxylase in rat liver is regulated by mechanisms different from those in the adrenal glands. 相似文献

The effect of adenosine on the mouse thymocyte adenylate cyclase-adenosine 3′:5′-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) system was examined. Adenosine, like prostaglandin E1, can cause 5-fold or greater increases in thymocyte cyclic AMP content in the presence but not in the absence of certain cyclic phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Two non-methylxanthine inhibitors potentiated the prostaglandin E1 and adenosine responses, while methylxanthines selectively inhibited the adenosine response. Adenosine increased cyclic AMP content significantly wihtin 1 min and was maximal by 10 to 20 min with approx. 2 and 10 μM adenosine being minimal and half-maximal effective doses, respectively. Combinations of prostaglandin E1, isoproterenol and adenosine were near additive and not synergistic. Of the adenosine analogues tested, only 2-chloro- and 2-fluoroadenosine significantly increased cyclic AMP. Thymocytes prelabeled with [14C] adenine exhibited dramatic increases in cyclic [14C]AMP 10 min after addition of adenosine or prostaglandin E1 which corresponded to simultaneously determined increases in total cyclic AMP. Using [14C]adenosine, the percent of total cyclic AMP increase due to adenosine was only 16%. Adenosine was also shown to elicit a 40% increase in particulate thymocyte adenylate cyclase activity. Therefore, the increased content of cyclic AMP seen in mouse thymocytes after incubation with adenosine was due primarily to stimulation of adenylate cyclase and only partially to conversion of adenosine to cyclic AMP. The increased cellular content of cyclic AMP may be, in part, responsible for various immunosuppressive effects of adenosine. 相似文献

The photoreactive nucleotide 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl ADP (BzADP) is not a substrate for photophosphorylation but is a strong competitive inhibitor (Ki 2-25μM) with respect to ADP and ATP in photophosphorylation or ATP hydrolysis and Pi-ATP exchange reactions, respectively. The analog binds tightly to the membrane-bound CF1, competes with the right binding of ADP, and prevents the inactivation of the enzyme by tight binding of ADP. Upon irradiation with long wavelength ultraviolet light, the tightly bound BzADP becomes covalently attached to both the - and β-subunits of the enzyme. 相似文献

We have isolated a mutant of the luminous bacterium Beneckea harveyi, which requires exogenous adenosine 3′,5′-monphosphate (cyclic AMP) to snnthesize luciferase and emit light. The mutant was pleiotropic, lacking not only the ability to luminesce, but also the capacities to form flagella and the ability to utilize a variety of carbohydrates for growth. All these deficiencies could be corrected by added cyclic AMP. The cyclic AMP-induced de novo synthesis of luciferase was possible only ffter autoinduction had occurred. The induction time by cyclic AMP ranged between 6 and 10 min at 27°C. 相似文献

Previously it was shown that amoebae of some Dictyostelium species are attracted by adenosine cyclic 3′,5′-monophosphate (cyclic AMP), and to a lesser extent, by the analogues of this nucleotide.We measured the chemotactic activity of several 5′-amido analogues of cyclic AMP by using a small population assay.Our investigations have shown unequivocally that the molecular receptor systems of cyclic AMP of the amoebae are highly sensitive to stereochemical alternation at the 5′position of the cyclophosphate ring, while the replacement of oxygen by nitrogen seems to exert no major influence. Alteration of the stereochemical envelope of the ring by a protruding group decisively alters the biological activity of the molecule, an effect which clearly does not depend on the type ot the group which protrudes. 相似文献

Cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP levels in eight different rat tissues were examined after animlas were immersed in liquid nitrogen. In order of decreasing concentration, cerebellu, kidney, lung and cerebral cortex contained the greatest quantities fo cyclic GMP. These tissues also contained relatively high concentrations of cyclic AMP. Compared to values in animals which were sacrificed in liquid nitrogen, levels of both nucleotides in many of the tissues examined were altered by decapitation or anesthesia with ether and pentobarbital. Decapitation increased the levels of both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP in cerebellum, lung, heart, liver and skeletabl muscle. However, decapitation increased only cyclic AMP in cerebral cortex and kidney. Our previously reported high level of cyclic GMP in lung was attributed to ether anesthesia and surgical removal which increased the cyclic GMP content in lung, heart, testis and skeletal muscle. The effect of ether on cyclic GMP levels in lung and heart was blocked by pretreatment of animals with atropine which indicated that cholinergic agents increase cyclic GMP content in these tissues. Acetylcholine and carbachol in the presence of theophylline increased the accumulation of cyclic GMP in incubations of rat lung minces. Increases in cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP levels in cerebellum with ether anesthesia were prevented if rats were immersed in liquid nitrogen after anesthesis with ether. Anesthesia with pentobarbital decreased the levels of cyclic GMP in cerebellum and kidney and increased the nucleotide in heart, liver, testis and skeletal muscle compared to levels in tissues from animals immersed in liquid nitrogen. However, pentobarbital increased cyclic AMP levels in cerebellum and cerebral cortex and decreased the nucleotide in liver, kidney, testis and skeletal muscle. These studies provide a possible explanation for the variability in in vivo levels of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP which have been previously reported. In addition, these studies support the hypothesis that the synthesis and degradation of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP are regulated independently and not necessarily in a parallel or reciprocal manner. These studies also suggest that the increase accumulation of one cyclic nucleotide has no major effect on the synthesis and/or metabolism of the other; however, such interactions cannot be entirely excluded from the results of this study. 相似文献

The effects of epinephrine on cyclic AMP content and protein kinase activity were examined in an in situ rat heart preparation. Bolus injection of epinephrine into the superior vena cava caused an increase in the activity ratio (—cyclic AMP/+cyclic AMP) of 12 000 × g supernatant protein kinase. The increase was significant within 5 s and maximal in 10 s. Epinephrine produced a dose-dependent increase in both protein kinase activity ratio and cyclic AMP content. The increases in both parameters exhibited a high degree of correlation. The increase in protein kinase activity ratio observed with low doses of epinephrine (less than or equal to 1 μg/kg) resulted from an increase in independent protein kinase activity (—cyclic 2 AMP) without a change in total protein observ activity (+cyclic AMP). However, the increase in the activity ratio observed with higher doses of epinephrine (greater than 1 μg/kg) was due mainly to a decrease in total protein kinase activity rather than a further increase in independent protein kinase activity. The loss of supernatant total protein kinase activity could be accounted for by an increase in activity associated with particulate fractions obtained from the homogenates. A similar redistribution of protein kinase could be demonstrated by the addition of cyclic AMP to homogenates prepared from hearts not stimulated with epinephrine. These results demonstrate that epinephrine over a wide dose range produces a parallel increase in the content of cyclic AMP and the activation of soluble protein kinase. The findings also suggest that protein kinase translocation to particulate material may depend on the degree of epinephrine-induced enzyme activation. 相似文献

Candida antarctica-B (CAL-B) lipase-catalysed alcoholysis of a set of 3′,5′-di-O-acetyl-2′-deoxynucleosides (1a–e) gave the corresponding 3′-O-acetyl-2′-deoxy-nucleosides (2a–e) in yields ranging from 50 to 96%. The alcohol employed in the biotransformation affected the rate of the enzymatic reaction and the yield of the 3′-O-acetylated product, but in all cases only this regioisomer was formed. The obtained results are in agreement with the regioselectivity displayed by CAL-B lipase in previously reported biotransformations of nucleosides. CAL-B catalysed alcoholysis of 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl-cytidine and 4-N-acetyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetylcytidine was also studied, affording with the same regioselectivity the corresponding free 5′-hydroxyl nucleosides. 相似文献

An earlier report (1a) has shown the utility of 8-N3cAMP (8-azidoadenosine-3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate) as a photoaffinity probe for cAMP binding sites in human erythrocyte membranes. The increased resolution obtained using a linear-gradient SDS polyacrylamide gel system now shows that: (1) both cAMP and 8-N3cAMP stimulate the phosphorylation by [γ-32P]-ATP of the same red cell membrane proteins; (2) the protein of approximately 48,000 molecular weight whose phosphorylation by [γ-32P]-ATP is stimulated by cAMP and 8-N3cAMP migrates at a solwer rate than the protein in the same molecular weight range which is heavily photolabeled with [32P]-8-N3cAMP; (3) other cyclic nucleotide binding sites exist besides those initailly reported; (4) the variation in the ratio of incorporation of 32P-8-N3cAMP into the two highest affinity binding sites appears to be the result of a specific proteolysis of the larger protein. 相似文献

Production of prostaglandin E (PGE) by rheumatoid synovium appears important to regulation of the pathologic process in rheumatoid arthritis. Cells derived from human synovium by proteolytic digestion produce large amounts of PGE which in turn can elevate synovial cell cAMP levels and inhibit cell proliferation. Data presented here indicate that cAMP can further increase production of PGE from adherent synovial cells (ASC). PGE production occurs over 12–72 hr and is not due to the ability of cAMP to inhibit cell proliferation. Exposure of cells to cAMP results in increased release of 3H arachidonic acid from precursors but not in activation of the cyclooxygenase enzyme. This phenomenon suggests that presence in adherent synovial cells of a mechanisms for amplifying PGE production. 相似文献

CD and nmr studies show that the conformational equilibrium of N(P)-alkylated adenosine 5′-phosphorodiamidates 2 – 4 and, to a much lesser extent, adenosine 5′-phosphorodiamidate 1 differ at two parts from that of adenosine 5′-phosphate in water. The glycosidic bond conformation is slightly shifted into the direction of the syn range, and the ribose ring N-conformer population increases. The conformational changes increase with increasing degree of N(P)-alkylation and cause a change of the sign of the long-wavelength CD band for 2 – 4 . The new conformation may be characterized by a stacked arrangement for the adenine ring and the 5′-substituted phosphate group of 2 – 4 . Hydrophobic attraction between the head and the tail of the molecules, as well as the entropy effect (which promotes the clustering of apolar faces in water), may be jointly responsible for this stacked arrangement. The intramolecular attractive forces stabilizing the stacked conformation may act at the expense of the solubility decreasing intermolecular attractive forces, and may thus be responsible for the increased water solubility of 2 – 4 , which is higher than that of 1 by more than two orders of magnitude. 相似文献

The content of adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate in human mononuclear leukocytes was enhanced 3–5-times by venoms obtained from African toad (Bufo africanus), American toad (Bufo americanus), Colorado river toad (Bufo arenarum) and Marine toad (Bufo marinus) at 25 μg/ml for 5 min of incubation at 37°C. The maximum stimulation was observed after 1–5 min of incubation. The half-maximal stimulation was observed at 0.1 μg/ml venom obtained from Colorado river toad (Bufo arenarum). The increased content of adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate in the mononuclear leukocytes persisted without significant change for at least 30 min of incubation at 37°C. 相似文献

The ribose-modified chromophoric and fluorescent analog of ATP 2′,3′-O-(2,4,6-trinitrocyclohexadienylidene) adenosine 5′-triphosphate (TNP-ATP) has been synthesized previously (Hiratsuka, T., and Uchida, K. (1973) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 320, 635–647 and Hiratsuka, T. (1976) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 453, 293–297). In the present study, four TNP-derivatives of ATP, ADP, AMP and adenosine were synthesized and compared for several chemical, spectral and enzymatic properties. Their visible absorption and fluorescent properties were found to be quite similar. Visible absorption and fluorescence spectra of TNP-derivatives were sensitive to solvent polarity. TNP-adenosine and TNP-AMP showed considerable substrate activities with adenosine deaminase and alkaline phosphatase, respectively. TNP-ATP proved to be an excellent substitute for ATP in adenylate kinase and myosin ATPase systems. The results indicate that these analogs are useful as chromophoric and fluorescent probes for hydrophobic regions in adenine nucleoside and nucleotide requiring enzymes. 相似文献

Nucleosides in which the adenine ring has been moved from the 1′ position to the 5′ position are resistant to degradation by the enzyme, adenosine deaminase. This study provides further evidence for the importance of the 5′-hydroxyl group as a structural requirement for significant substrate activity. 相似文献

Extracellular adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (eATP) is emerging as an important plant signalling compound capable of mobilising intracellular second messengers such as Ca2+, nitric oxide, and reactive oxygen species. However, the downstream molecular targets and the spectrum of physiological processes that eATP regulates are largely unknown. We used exogenous ATP and a non‐hydrolysable analogue as probes to identify the molecular and physiological effects of eATP‐mediated signalling in tobacco. 2‐DE coupled with MS/MS analysis revealed differential protein expression in response to perturbation of eATP signalling. These proteins are in several functional classes that included photosynthesis, mitochondrial ATP synthesis, and defence against oxidative stress, but the biggest response was in the pathogen defence‐related proteins. Consistent with this, impairment of eATP signalling induced resistance against the bacterial pathogen Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora. In addition, disease resistance activated by a fungal pathogen elicitor (xylanase from Trichoderma viride) was concomitant with eATP depletion. These results reveal several previously unknown putative molecular targets of eATP signalling, which pinpoint eATP as an important hub at which regulatory signals of some major primary metabolic pathways and defence responses are integrated. 相似文献

The expression of the synaptic vesicle protein, synaptotagmin, in developing rat superior cervical ganglia is influenced by transsynaptic factors associated with membrane depolarization. The present study examines the role of cyclic AMP in the regulation of synaptotagmin in neonatal superior cervical ganglia maintained in explant culture. Ganglia were treated for 48 h in vitro with the Na+‐channel ionophore, veratridine, or with pharmacological agents that alter cyclic AMP levels. Levels of cyclic AMP and synaptotagmin were determined by radioimmunoassay. Veratridine treatment significantly increased cyclic AMP in cultured ganglia, with a long time course, and also increased synaptotagmin levels. Drugs that elevate cyclic AMP levels significantly increased synaptotagmin levels, with similar magnitude to that produced by veratridine treatment. These pharmacological agents did not alter neuron survival or total ganglionic protein content. No additive effects were observed after combined treatment with veratridine and pharmacological agents that increased cyclic AMP. Agents that blocked adenylyl cyclase blocked the veratridine‐induced increase in synaptotagmin levels. The results suggest that regulation of expression of synaptotagmin in neonatal sympathetic neurons is mediated partially by cyclic AMP. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
