Endogenous inhibitors of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-phosphodiesterase in rat epididymis. 1986

D Benau, and E I Szabo, and C Terner

Stabilization of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-phosphodiesterase (PDE) in 50% glycerol made possible the removal of endogenous inhibitors from tissue extracts by dialysis and the storage of the extracts at -20 degrees C without loss of PDE activity. Dialysates of heat-inactivated epididymal extracts were fractionated by liquid chromatography, and 4 fractions-F2, F5, F7, and F12-were found to contain endogenous inhibitors of PDE. The masses of the fractions required to inhibit low-Km PDE activity by ca. 50% in 430-microliter incubation mixtures were F2, 89 micrograms; F5, 23 micrograms; F7, 275 micrograms; and F12, 1.2 mg. The mechanisms of inhibition of low-Km PDE by the endogenous inhibitors were investigated by kinetic analysis of enzyme-inhibitor interaction. F2 and F12 inhibited PDE competitively; F5 and F7 decreased both apparent Km and Vmax, suggesting an uncompetitive mechanism of inhibition. The high potency of F5 in low concentration suggests that it may be a physiological modulator of low-Km cAMP-PDE activity.

D004822 Epididymis The convoluted cordlike structure attached to the posterior of the TESTIS. Epididymis consists of the head (caput), the body (corpus), and the tail (cauda). A network of ducts leaving the testis joins into a common epididymal tubule proper which provides the transport, storage, and maturation of SPERMATOZOA.
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.
