Partial purification and characterization of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases from Funaria hygrometrica 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Natural-abundance 13C NMR spectroscopy at 15.04 MHz has been used to examine the effects of pH, calcium, and lanthanide ions on the polypeptide cardiac stimulant Anthopleurin-A in aqueous solution. The carboxyl resonance from the aspartic acid residue not observed in a previous study (R. S. Norton and T. R. Norton, 1979, J. Biol. Chem.254, 10220–10226) has been identified and an apparent pKa of 3.4 obtained. More accurate estimates have been derived for the apparent pKa values of the two histidine residues. Binding of Ca2+ ions has been found by equilibrium dialysis and 13C NMR to be weak (Kd > 0.1 M). The interaction with lanthanide ions is slightly stronger, but binding occurs at the C terminus as well as at a site involving one or both of the aspartate carboxylate groups. These results suggest that possible Anthopleurin-A-induced calcium translocation in the myocardial cell is a secondary effect. The interaction of Anthopleurin-A with lipid monolayers has also been examined. Binding occurs to neutral and zwitterionic lipids, but is stronger with negatively charged lipids, particularly cardiolipin. This interaction is also influenced by the presence of Ca2+ ions. The implications of these results for the mechanism of action of this polypeptide are discussed. 相似文献

The presence of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase peptide-activator previously isolated from the calf myometrium was studied in uterine tissue of rats at different functional states (in puberty, estrus and diestrus stages, pregnancy) and in human myometrium and myoma. The peptide isolated from calf myometrium, immature rat myometrium and uterine tissue in myoma caused a 3-4-fold stimulation of the phosphodiesterase activity. 相似文献

Methods are described for measuring phosphodiesterases for cGMP and cAMP in the range of activity yielding 10−12 to 10−8 mol of product. The 5′-GMP formed is measured by conversion to GDP with guanylate kinase. Amounts of GDP greater than 10−10 mol are measured directly with an enzyme system which results in stoichiometric oxidation of NADH. This is either determined by the decrease in fluorescence or the excess NADH is destroyed with acid and the NAD+ measured by its fluorescence in strong NaOH. With smaller amounts of GDP, sensitivity is amplified 1000-fold with the succinic thiokinase-pyruvate kinase cycle. In the case of cAMP diesterase, larger amounts of 5′-AMP are measured in the same way as 5′-GMP, except that adenylate kinase is substituted for guanylate kinase. With smaller amounts, the 5′-AMP is converted to ATP, and sensitivity is amplified with the adenylate kinase-pyruvate kinase cycle. As little as 20 ng dry weight of average brain is sufficient for accurate assay of the diesterase activity toward either cAMP or cGMP. When there is danger of significant destruction of AMP or GMP by tissue 5′-nucleotidase, this is prevented by adding GMP to the cAMP reagent, AMP to the cGMP reagent, or 5′-UMP to either reagent. 相似文献

1. Three phosphodiesterases that are capable of hydrolysing 3':5'-cyclic nucleotides were purified from potato tubers. 2. The phosphodiesterases were fractionated by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and CM-cellulose chromatography. The phosphodiesterases were resolved from each other and further purified by gel filtration in high- and low-ionic-strength conditions. 3. All three enzymes lacked significant nucleotidase activity. 4. Enzymes I and II had mol. wts. 240,000 and 80,000 respectively, determined by gel filtration, whereas enzyme III showed anomalous behaviour on gel filtration, behaving as a high- or low-molecular-weight protein in high- or low-ionic-strength buffers respectively. 5. All enzymes hydrolysed 2':3'-cyclic nucleotides as well as 3':5'-cyclic nucleotides. The enzymes also had nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity, hydrolysing NAD+ and UDP-glucose to various extents. Enzymes I and II hydrolyse cyclic nucleotides at a greater rate than NAD+, whereas enzyme III hydrolyses NAD+ at a much greater rate than cyclic nucleotides. All three enzymes hydrolysed the artificial substrate bis-(p-nitro-phenyl) phosphate. 6. The enzymes do not require the addition of bivalent cations for activity. 7. Both enzymes I and II have optimum activity at pH6 with 3':5'-cyclic AMP and bis-(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate as substrates. The products of 3':5'-cyclic AMP hydrolysis were 3'-AMP and 5'-AMP, the ratio of the two products being different for each enzyme and varying with pH. 8. Theophylline inhibits enzymes I and II slightly, but other methyl xanthines have little effect. Enzymes I and II were competitively inhibited by many nucleotides containing phosphomonoester and phosphodiester bonds, as well as by Pi. 9. The possible significance of these phosphodiesterases in cyclic nucleotide metabolism in higher plants is discussed. 相似文献

Characterization of the soluble cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Evidence for a calmodulin-dependent enzyme 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities (3',5'-cyclic nucleotide 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.17) were found in the 40,000 X g supernatant fraction of homogenates of Xenopus laevis oocytes. In the supernatant, the ratio of the specific activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase to that of cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase was 1.1 at the 1 micro substrate level. Two phosphodiesterase forms were isolated by centrifugation on sucrose gradient: a 3-4 S form hydrolyzing specificity cyclic AMP and a 6-7 S form hydrolyzing both cyclic nucleotides (cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP). The activity of the 6-7 S phosphodiesterase was characterized by its activation by 0.1 micro M calmodulin purified from beef pancreas in the presence of 50 micro M CA2+. The calmodulin dependence of this form was completely abolished in the presence of 1 mM ethyleneglycobis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N-N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). Trifluoperazine at 0.1 mM inhibited both the freshly prepared crude enzyme and the partially purified 6-7 S form. On the other hand, no effect of cyclic GMP at 3 micro M was observed on cyclic AMP hydrolysis in the case of the supernatant or that of the partially purified phosphodiesterases. These data show the presence of a calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase in the soluble fraction of X. laevis oocytes. 相似文献

Summary DEAE-Sephadex chromatography reveals the presence in extracts of human bronchial tissue of at least three separate cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases: a cyclic GMP-specific high affinity enzyme, a non-specific low affinity enzyme, and a high affinity cyclic AMP-specific enzyme. The activity of each fraction was partially characterized with respect to kinetic parameters, thermal stability, and the influence of a number of inhibitors. Each activity was found to resemble the activity of the previously characterized corresponding enzyme from whole lung tissue extracts. A high affinity non-specific phospho-diesterase previously isolated from lung tissue is missing in extracts of bronchial tissue. 相似文献

The calcium antagonists, nimodipine and nicardipine, competitively inhibited calmodulin-sensitive and calmodulin-insensitive forms of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, with IC50's in the micromolar range. Verapamil showed similar inhibitory potency against calmodulin-insensitive phosphodiesterases, but in marked contrast, it was a very weak inhibitor (30–100 times less potent) against calmodulin-sensitive forms of the enzyme. Verapamil and nimodipine both antagonized the calmodulin stimulation of phosphodiesterase. Through use of hydrophobic fluorescent probes, verapamil, and another calmodulin antagonist, proadifen, were shown to interact directly with calmodulin in a manner that differed from the interaction of calmodulin with trifluoperazine. 相似文献

In the absence of detergent, approximately 80-85% of the total cGMP-stimulated phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity in bovine brain was associated with washed particulate fractions; approximately 85-90% of the calmodulin-sensitive PDE was soluble. Particulate cGMP-stimulated PDE was higher in cerebral cortical gray matter than in other regions. Homogenization of the brain particulate fraction in 1% Lubrol increased cGMP-stimulated activity approximately 100% and calmodulin-stimulated approximately 400-500%. Although 1% Lubrol readily solubilized these PDE activities, approximately 75% of the cAMP PDE activity (0.5 microM [3H]cAMP) that was not affected by cGMP was not solubilized. This cAMP PDE activity was very sensitive to inhibition by Rolipram but not cilostamide. Thus, three different PDE types, i.e., cGMP stimulated, calmodulin sensitive, and Rolipram inhibited, are associated in different ways with crude bovine brain particulate fractions. After solubilization and purification by chromatography on cGMP-agarose, heparin-agarose, and Superose 6, the brain particulate cGMP-stimulated PDE cross-reacted with antibody raised against a cGMP-stimulated PDE purified from calf liver supernatant. The brain enzyme exhibited a slightly greater subunit Mr than did soluble forms from calf liver or bovine brain, as evidenced by protein staining or immunoblotting after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. Incubation of brain particulate and liver soluble cGMP-stimulated PDEs with V8 protease produced several peptides of similar size, as well as at least two distinct fragments of approximately 27 kDa from the brain and approximately 23 kDa from the liver enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A cGMP-stimulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase present in cytosol of Xenopus laevis ovary has been purified and characterized. A cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase which is not activated by either cGMP or calmodulin, has also been characterized. Brief exposure of intact oocytes to 10 micro M progesterone results in an increase in activity of the cAMP-specific enzyme. The cGMP-stimulated and the calmodulin-activated phosphodiesterases are not altered. Changes in cyclic nucleotide levels during progesterone-induced maturation of oocytes may be modulated by these isoenzymes. 相似文献

A partial characterization of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases of Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in crude homogenate, soluble material, and particulate preparations of adult Drosophila melanogaster flies, hydrolyze cyclic AMP with nonlinear kinetics. Cyclic GMP is hydrolyzed by the phosphodiesterases in crude homogenate and soluble material with linear kinetics. Physical separation techniques of gel filtration, velocity sedimentation, and ion-exchange chromatography reveal that Drosophila soluble fraction contains two major forms of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Form I hydrolyzes both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP. Inhibition experiments suggest that the hydrolysis of both cyclic nucleotides by Form I occurs at a single active site. The Km's for hydrolysis of both substrates are about 4 μm. This form has a molecular weight of about 168,000 as estimated by gel nitration. Form II cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase is specific for cyclic AMP as substrate. Gel filtration indicates that this form has a molecular weight of about 68,000. The Km for cyclic AMP is about 2 μm. 相似文献

Expression and partial purification of a recombinant secretory form of human liver carboxylesterase.

Serine-dependent carboxylesterases (EC 3.1.1.1) are found in a variety of tissues with high activity detected in the liver. Carboxylesterases (CaE) hydrolyze aliphatic and aromatic esters, and aromatic amides, and play an important role in the detoxification of xenobiotic chemicals that contain organophosphate (OP) compounds. The detoxifying ability of CaE is limited by its low concentration in serum where it encounters OP compounds. Studies in our laboratory have shown that a pRC/CMV-hCaE plasmid construct, stably integrated into 293T cells, expresses a human liver CaE in culture. However, the enzyme remained inside the cell and reached a low steady-state level of expression. The goals of this study were to overexpress a functional human liver CaE from a recombinant cDNA in a human cell line and to isolate and purify the recombinant protein. To accomplish these goals, a single amino acid change was made in the C-terminal retrieval signal, HIEL (His-Ile-Glu-Leu), of human liver CaE. The mutation produced a unique Eco47III restriction site, which aided in clone selection. The recombinant plasmid, pRc/CMV-mhCaE, was isolated and stably integrated into human 293T cells. Expression of the altered cDNA resulted in secretion of an active CaE up to levels of 500 enzyme units per liter of growth medium. Secretory CaE displayed isoelectric focusing patterns similar to those of the native enzyme with no observable changes in activity. The secreted enzyme was partially purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and Cibacron blue affinity chromatography. Partial enzyme purification was achieved, and CaE retained a high level of enzymatic activity. 相似文献

During aggregation the larger Dictyostelium species use cAMP as a chemoattractant and possibly also as a transmitter. In passage from cell to cell, cAMP levels are modulated by diffusion and by enzyme hydrolysis. It appears that the important cAMP-hydrolysing enzyme is a phosphodiesterase bound to the cell membrane, the main roles of which are (1) very fast hydrolysis of cAMP and (2) steepening of spatial cAMP gradients. An extracellular phosphodiesterase has no function, so far as can be conjectured from present data. 相似文献

A polypeptide growth factor has been partially purified from medium conditioned by the human adrenocortical carcinoma cell line SW13. This factor, designated h-TGFe, stimulates anchorage-independent growth of the SW13 cells. Similar activity was observed in human milk, and in conditioned media from seven of 14 epithelial cell lines. The SW13-derived activity is stable to low pH and 8M urea but labile to dithiothreitol and 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate. Human TGFe does not bind to heparin and fails to stimulate growth of endothelial cells in monolayer culture. The apparent molecular weight of h-TGFe is 59k by size exclusion chromatography in the presence of 8M urea and the activity binds strongly to cation exchangers. The activity elutes at 15-30% acetonitrile from a C18 reverse-phase column and has been partially purified by using a four-step chromatographic procedure. TGFe appears to be a novel growth factor produced by many epithelial cells and tissues. 相似文献

The effects of imidazole on the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP by crude and partially purified phosphodiesterases obtained from bovine heart and rat liver were studied in order to determine if imidazole has an activity on cyclic nucleotide hydrolysis under conditions which might explain its ability to antagonize the effects of several hormones. Imidazole-Cl (40 mm, pH 7.4) had no effect on the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP at substrate levels below 10 μm by the crude enzymes but increasing stimulation was observed with increasing substrate concentrations reaching a twofold stimulation at 1 mm cyclic nucleotide. Three phosphodiesterases with varying substrate specificities were partially purified from bovine heart by ammonium sulfate precipitation and diethyl aminoethyl cellulose chromatography. With these enzymes imidazole had less stimulatory activity and some inhibitory effect on the hydrolysis of 10?4m cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP but was without significant effect on the hydrolysis of 10?6m cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP. The stimulatory activity of imidazole on the hydrolysis of high levels of cyclic nucleotide was dependent on the presence of phosphodiesterase activator. The stimulatory effect of the activator and imidazole plus activator on the hydrolysis of 10?4m cyclic GMP by the rather cyclic GMP-specific enzyme could be eliminated by the addition of ethylene glycol-bis-(β-aminoethyl ether)N,N′-tetraacetate (EGTA) and restored by Ca2+. Imidazole was without effect on the binding of cyclic AMP to a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine heart. The lack of effect of imidazole on the hydrolysis of physiological levels of cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP suggests that the activity of imidazole to antagonize the effects of various hormones is probably not due to a direct action of imidazole on the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP. 相似文献

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase [EC 3.1.4.17] was examined in tetrahymena pyriformis strain NT-1. Enzymic activity was associated with the soluble and the particulate fractions, whereas most of the cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activity was localized in the soluble fraction; the activities were optimal at pH 8.0-9.0. Although very low activities were detected in the absence of divalent cations, they were significantly increased by the addition of either Mg2+ or Mn2+. A kinetic analysis of the properties of the enzymes yielded 2 apparent K(m) values ranging in concentration from 0.5 to 50 micron and from 0.1 to 62 micron for cyclic AMP and GMP, respectively. A Ca2+ -dependent activating factor for cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase was extracted from Tetrahymena cells, but this factor did not stimulate guanylate cyclase [EC 4.6.1.2] activity in this organism. On the other hand, tetrahymena also contained a protein activator which stimulated guanylate cyclase in the presence of Ca2+, although this activator did not stimulate the phosphodiesterase. The results suggested that Tetrahymena might contain 2 types of Ca2+ -dependent activators, one specific for phosphodiesterase and the other for guanylate cyclase. 相似文献

Isatin, an endogenous indole, has been shown to inhibit monoamine oxidase, and exhibit various pharmacological actions. However, the metabolism of isatin in humans remains unknown. We have found high isatin reductase activity in the 105,000 g supernatants of human liver and kidney homogenates, and have purified and characterized a major form of the enzyme in the two tissues. The hepatic and renal enzymes showed the same properties, including an M(r) of 31 kDa, substrate specificity for carbonyl compounds and inhibitor sensitivity, which were also identical to those of recombinant human carbonyl reductase. The identity of the isatin reductase with carbonyl reductase was immunologically demonstrated with an antibody against the recombinant carbonyl reductase. About 90% of the soluble isatin reductase activity in the liver and kidney was immunoprecipitated by the antibody. The Km (10 microm) and k(cat)/K(m) (1.7 s(-1) x microm(-1)) values for isatin at pH 7.0 were comparable to those for phenanthrenequinone, the best xenobiotic substrate of carbonyl reductase. The reduced product of isatin was chemically identified with 3-hydroxy-2-oxoindole, which is also excreted in human urine. The inhibitory potency of the reduced product for monoamine oxidase A and B was significantly lower than that of isatin. The results indicate that the novel metabolic pathway of isatin in humans is mediated mainly by carbonyl reductase, which may play a critical role in controlling the biological activity of isatin. 相似文献

The Dictyostelium discoideum membrane-bound and extracellular cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (EC 3.1.4.17) shear several properties including the ability to react with a specific glycoprotein inhibitor and small inhibitory molecules. We have partialy purified the membrane-bound enzyme and compared its properties to those of the extracellular form. The kinetic properties of the two forms were similar except that, while associated with membrane particles, the membrane-bound form exhibited non-linear kinetics when assayed ove a broad substrate range. The isoelectric point of the membrane-bound phosphodiesterase was identical to that of the extracellular enzyme when isoelectrofocusing was done in the presence of 6 M urea. The molecular weights of membrane-bound and extracellular enzyme, determined by gel filtration, were the same following isoelectrofocusing in the presence of 6 M urea. When precipitated with an antiserum prepared against purified extracellular phosphodiesterase, the partially purified membrane-bound enzyme preparation was shown to contain a Mr 50 000 polypeptide comigrating with the extracellular enzyme during SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When the iodinated extracellular enzyme and the iodinated Mr 50 000 polypeptide from membrane-bound enzyme were subjected to partial proteolytic digestion, similar profiles were obtained indicating extensive regions of homology. 相似文献
