Cyclic AMP-Mediated Induction of the Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterase of C-6 Glioma Cells

Cyclic AMP-mediated induction of the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase of C-6 glioma cells.

Long-term regulation of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase of the C-6 rat glioma cell line has been studied. Both the low K(m) and high K(m) activities can be induced by elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP levels following either dibutyryl cyclic AMP or norepinephrine treatment of the cells. The enzymes are maximally induced by 3-4 hr. The presence of either cycloheximide or actinomycin ...

Induction of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase in Blastocladiella emersonii and its relation to cyclic AMP metabolism.

Extracts of vegetative cells of Blastocladiella emersonii contain 5% or less of the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in zoospore extracts. This difference in activity could be accounted for entirely by an increase in the differential rate of phosphodiesterase synthesis during sporulation, beginning after a lag period of about 60 min and extending for at least an additional 90 min into the ...

آدنوزین منوفسفات حلقوی ( Cyclic AMP )

Analysis of the kinetics of cyclic AMP hydrolysis by the cyclic GMP-stimulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

The kinetics of cAMP hydrolysis by the purified calf liver cGMP-stimulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase were analyzed in the absence or presence of a number of competitive inhibitors of the methylxanthine type according to a two-site competitive model for allosteric enzymes. Methylxanthines were also classified by graphical analysis of classical competition kinetics at saturating cAMP. T...

Cyclic AMP-induced p53 Destabilization is Independent of CREB in pre-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells

Elevated cAMP levels in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cells attenuate the doxorubicin-induced p53 accumulation and protect cells against apoptosis. cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) is a cAMP-stimulated transcription factor that regulates genes whose deregulated expression cooperatein oncogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the role of CREB on i...
