The Epidermis and Cyclic Amp
A hormone induces a rapid and profound change in the metabolic balance of its target organ. Early studies emphasized the extraordinarily low concentrations in which many hormones are effective. The fact that catechoiamines and polypeptides are frequently unable to penetrate the surface of cells made this seem all the more remarkable. The mechanism of their action, which for many years remained ...
متن کاملAnalysis 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...
متن کاملCyclic-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 کاملRetinoid treatment of human psoriatic fibroblasts induces an increase in cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity.
We recently showed a deficiency of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinases in psoriatic cells. In this work the effects of retinoids on cAMP-dependent protein kinases of fibroblasts from 7 normal subjects and 7 psoriatic patients were studied. The levels of RI and RII (two forms of the cAMP-dependent protein kinases) present in control and retinoic acid-treated cells were quantitated by pho...
متن کاملInduction 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 ...
