Abstract: Phosphodiesterase activities of horse (and dog) thyroid soluble fraction were compared with either cyclic AMP (adenosine 3':3'-monophosphate) or cyclic GMP (guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate) as substrate. Optimal activity for cyclic AMP hydrolysis was observed at pH 8, and at pH 7.6 for cyclic GMP. Increasing concentrations of ethyleneglycol bis(2-aminoethyl)-N, N'-tetraacetic acid inhibited both phosphodiesterase activities; in the presence of exogenous Ca2+, this effect was shifted to higher concentrations of the chelator. In a dialysed supernatant preparation, Ca2+ had no significant stimulatory effect, but both Mg2+ and Mn2+ increased cyclic nucleotides breakdown. Mn2+ promoted the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP more effectively than that of cyclic GMP. For both substrates, substrate velocity curves exhibited a two-slope pattern in a Hofstee plot. Cyclic GMP stimulated cyclic AMP hydrolysis, both nucleotides being at micromolar concentrations. Conversely, at no concentration had cyclic AMP any stimulatory effect on cyclic GMP hydrolysis. 1-Methyl-3-isobutylx anthine and theophylline blocked the activation by cyclic GMP of cyclic GMP of cyclic AMP hydrolysis, whereas Ro 20-1724 (4-(3-butoxy-4-metho xybenzyl)-2-imidazol idinone), a non-methylxanthine inhibitor of phosphodiesterases, did not alter this effect. In dog thyroid slices, carbamoylcholine, which promotes an accumulation of cyclic GMP, inhibits the thyrotropin-induced increase in cyclic AMP. This inhibitory effect of carbamoylcholine was blocked by theophylline and 1-methyl-3-isobutylx anthine, but not by Ro 20-1724. It is suggested that the cholinergic inhibitory effect on cyclic AMP accumulation is mediated by cyclic GMP, through a direct activation of phosphodiesterase activity.
We tested the hypothesis that the negative functional effects of cyclic GMP (cGMP) would be greater after increasing cyclic AMP (cAMP), because of the action of cGMP-affected cAMP phosphodiesterases in cardiac myocytes and that this effect would be altered in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) produced by aortic valve plication. Myocyte shortening data were collected using a video edge detector, and O2 consumption was measured by O2 electrodes during stimulation (5 ms, 1 Hz, in 2 mM Ca2+) from control (n = 7) and LVH (n = 7) dog ventricular myo...
A sensitive double antibody enzyme immunoassay for the quantitation of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP is presented. Specific antisera to each nucleotide were raised in rabbits by immunization with succinyl cyclic nucleotide-human serum albumin conjugates. For competitive reaction, antibodies were incubated with a mixture of succinyl cyclic nucleotide labelled with beta-D-galactosidase and unlabelled succinylated standard or sample cyclic nucleotides. The antibody-bound enzyme-hapten was separated from free hapten by anti-rabbit IgG immobilized to a ...
Significant circadian rhythns in urinary excretion of cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, creatinine, 17-hydroxycorticosteroids and inorganic phosphorus were demonstrated in three normal subjects (two males and one post-menopausal female) who collected serial 4-h specimens for periods of 33, 22, and 14 days, respectively. Peak excretion of the above substances occurred, respectively, at approximately 1500-1700, 2300-0200, 1700-1800, 1100-1300, and 1800-2200 h. The estimated amplitudes of the rhythms expressed as a percentage of the mean 4-h excretion rate ...

Kinetically distinct classes of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP) phosphodiesterase activities (PDEs) were detected in homogenates of cultured pigment epithelium (PE) from both normal and Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats. PDE activities with apparent low Michaelis constants (Low Km cAMP- and cGMP-PDEs) were associated with the supernatant, while PDE activities with apparent high Michaelis constants (high Km cAMP- and cGMP-PDEs) were slightly higher in the pellet than in the supernatant after ultracentrifugation (100,000 g). Activity o...
Autophosphorylation of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (GMP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) in the presence of cyclic AMP and Mg-ATP has already been shown to result in the incorporation of up to 2.6 mol phosphate per mol subunit and decrease the A0.5 for cyclic AMP approx. 10-fold. The major sites of autophosphorylation have now been identified as serine-50, threonine-58, serine-72 and threonine-84. Serine-1 and serine-64 are phosphorylated to a minor extent. Threonine-58, which is initially phosphorylated most rapidly, is also th...
BACKGROUND: Smooth muscle relaxation induced by various agents that increase the cellular levels of cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP) is accompanied by a decrease in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. However, little is known about the differences between the inhibitory effects of cAMP and cGMP on the contraction of smooth muscle. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects and underlying mechanisms of cAMP and cGMP on the inhibition of gastric smooth muscle contraction, cyclic nucleotide promoting agents, as well as cell membrane permeable cyclic nucleo...
The nucleotide specificity of the cyclic GMP-binding activity in a homogenate of Dictyostelium discoideum was determined by competition of cyclic GMP derivatives with [8-3H]-cyclic GMP for the binding sites. The results indicate that cyclic GMP is bound to the binding proteins by hydrogen bonds at N2H2, N1-H and/or C6 = O, N7, 2(1)-OH and 3(1)-O and possibly via a charge-charge interaction with the phosphate moiety of cyclic GMP. Cyclic AMP only competes with cyclic GMP for binding at a 20,000-fold higher concentration. The same cyclic GMP deri...
