Protein activator of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase in bovine retina and bovine lens. Activity, subcellular distribution and kinetic parameters. 1978

Y P Liu, and H S Schwartz

We have examined the activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase and the protein activator of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase in various anatomic and subcellular fractions of the bovine eye. Cyclic GMP hydrolysis was 1.6--12 times faster than hydrolysis of cyclic AMP in the subcellular fractions of the retina and in the precipitate of the rod outer segment. An opposite pattern was seen in the bovine lens, where the hyrolysis of cyclic AMP occurred 17 and 169 times faster than that of cyclic GMP in the supernatant and precipitate of lens, respectively. The activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase was not affected by ethylene-glycol bis(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid in any fractions except in the retinal supernatant, suggesting that the phosphodiesterase exists primarily as a Ca2+-independent, activator-independent form. However, the protein activator of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase existed in all fractions examine. A complex kinetic patternwas observed for both cyclic AMP and cyllic GMP hydrolysis by the 105000 times g lens supernatant. The Michaelis constants for both cyclic AMP (1.3-10(-6) and 9.I-10(-6) M) and cyclic GMP (1.04-10(6) AND 1.22 10(-5) M) appeared to be similar.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007908 Lens, Crystalline A transparent, biconvex structure of the EYE, enclosed in a capsule and situated behind the IRIS and in front of the vitreous humor (VITREOUS BODY). It is slightly overlapped at its margin by the ciliary processes. Adaptation by the CILIARY BODY is crucial for OCULAR ACCOMMODATION. Eye Lens,Lens, Eye,Crystalline Lens
D010786 Photoreceptor Cells Specialized cells that detect and transduce light. They are classified into two types based on their light reception structure, the ciliary photoreceptors and the rhabdomeric photoreceptors with MICROVILLI. Ciliary photoreceptor cells use OPSINS that activate a PHOSPHODIESTERASE phosphodiesterase cascade. Rhabdomeric photoreceptor cells use opsins that activate a PHOSPHOLIPASE C cascade.

D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
