Inhibition of cyclic GMP-binding cyclic GMP-specific phosphodiesterase (Type 5) by sildenafil and related compounds.
The cGMP-binding cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE5) degrades cGMP and regulates the intracellular level of cGMP in many tissues, including the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosum of the penis. Sildenafil (Viagra), a specific PDE5 inhibitor, promotes penile erection by blocking the activity of PDE5, which causes cGMP to accumulate in the corpus cavernosum. In the present study, sildenafil...
متن کاملA light-activated GTPase in vertebrate photoreceptors: regulation of light-activated cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase.
We have been studying the mechanism by which light and nucleoside triphosphates activate the discmembrane phosphodiesterase (oligonucleate 5'-nucleotidohydrolase; EC 3.1.4.1) in frog rod outer segments. GTP is orders of magnitude more effective than ATP as a cofactor in the light-dependent activation step. GTP and the analogue guanylyl-imidodiphosphate function equally as allosteric activators ...
متن کاملAllosteric sites of phosphodiesterase-5 sequester cyclic GMP.
Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) play key roles in cGMP signaling. PDE5 has a catalytic domain (C domain) that hydrolyzes cGMP and a regulatory domain (R domain) that binds cGMP at allosteric sites. We recently demonstrated that in corpus cavernosum, PDE5 concentration exceeds basal cGMP by ~5-fold making it possible that its allosteric sites could bind a signi...
متن کاملEffects of magnesium on cyclic GMP hydrolysis by the bovine retinal rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase.
Knowledge of the kinetics of the rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase is essential for understanding the kinetics and gain of the light response. Therefore, the interactions between Mg2+, cyclic GMP, and purified, trypsin-activated bovine rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) were examined. The effects of Mg2+ and of cyclic GMP on the rod phosphodiesterase activity were mutually concentrat...
متن کاملNucleotide binding by the widespread high-affinity cyclic di-GMP receptor MshEN domain
C-di-GMP is a bacterial second messenger regulating various cellular functions. Many bacteria contain c-di-GMP-metabolizing enzymes but lack known c-di-GMP receptors. Recently, two MshE-type ATPases associated with bacterial type II secretion system and type IV pilus formation were shown to specifically bind c-di-GMP. Here we report crystal structure of the MshE N-terminal domain (MshEN1-145) f...
