Prostaglandin A1 metabolism and inhibition of cyclic AMP extrusion by avian erythrocytes.

Compartmentalization of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases in human erythrocytes.

The human erythrocyte contains two types of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The membrane-associated protein kinase holoenzyme can be released intact by hypotonic treatment at alkaline pH. Chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and molecular weight determinations demonstrate that this enzyme is a type I cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, while the predominant cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase...

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 ...

Cyclic AMP metabolism in cholesterol-rich platelets.

The incorporation of cholesterol into human platelets by means of incubation with cholesterol-rich lecithin dispersions is associated with a decreased fluidity in the phospholipid hydrocarbon core of platelet membranes and an increased sensitivity of platelets to aggregating agents. We examined whether the platelet membrane enzyme, adenylate cyclase is influenced by changes in phospholipid flui...

آدنوزین منوفسفات حلقوی ( Cyclic AMP )

Inhibition of platelet-activating-factor-induced human platelet activation by prostaglandin D2. Differential sensitivity of platelet transduction processes and functional responses to inhibition by cyclic AMP.

It has been proposed that cyclic AMP inhibits platelet reactivity: by preventing agonist-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis and the resultant formation of 1,2-diacylglycerol and elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i); by promoting Ca2+ sequestration and/or extrusion; and by suppressing reactions stimulated by (1,2-diacylglycerol-dependent) protein kinase C and/or Ca2+-calmod...
