Cyclic-nucleotide Phosphodiesterase
Cyclic nucleotides have been implicated in the differentiation and function of the vertebrate retina. In the normal retina of DBA mice, the specific activity of cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE), with cyclic-AMP as the substrate (cAMP-PDE), increases eightfold between the 6th and 20th postnatal day. Kinetic analysis of retinae from newborn mice reveals a PDE with a single Michaelis cons...
متن کامل3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase
1. A spectrophotometric assay of 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.37) based on the use of an acid-base indicator and a buffer having identical PKa values is described. The assay is sinmple and rapid; it was particularly convenient for monitoring the enzyme activity at vat :ous stages of purification. 2. Several proteinases were examined for their ability to solubilize 2':3...
متن کاملCyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities in Neurospora crassa.
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities in soluble Neurospora crassa mycelial extracts were resolved into two peaks, phosphodiesterase I and II, by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose columns. Phosphodiesterase I hydrolysed cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP equally well. Phosphodiesterase II was active on cyclic GMP but scarcely active on cyclic AMP. Phosphodiesterase I was resolved by gel filtrati...
متن کاملCyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 3 signaling complexes.
The superfamily of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases is comprised of 11 gene families. By hydrolyzing cAMP and cGMP, PDEs are major determinants in the regulation of intracellular concentrations of cyclic nucleotides and cyclic nucleotide-dependent signaling pathways. Two PDE3 subfamilies, PDE3A and PDE3B, have been described. PDE3A and PDE3B hydrolyze cAMP and cGMP with high affinity in a m...
متن کاملCyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1 and vascular aging
VSMCs (vascular smooth muscle cells) play critical roles in arterial remodelling with aging, hypertension and atherosclerosis. VSMCs exist in diverse phenotypes and exhibit phenotypic plasticity, e.g. changing from a quiescent/contractile phenotype to an active myofibroblast-like, often called 'synthetic', phenotype. Synthetic VSMCs are able to proliferate, migrate and secrete ECM (extracellula...
