Characterization of Neurospora crassa cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activated by calmodulin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Activation of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase I by brain or Neurospora calmodulin was studied. The stimulation required micromolar concentrations of Ca2+, and it was observed at cyclic AMP concentrations between 0.1 and 500 microM. Activation was blocked by EDTA and some neuroleptic drugs such as chlorpromazine and fluphenazine. These drugs inhibit the elongation of N. crassa wild-type aerial hyphae. These results reinforce the evidence towards the recognition of Ca2+-calmodulin as one of the systems controlling cyclic nucleotide concentrations in Neurospora.

Two molecular species of repressible extracellular phosphodiesterases showing cyclic 2',3'and cyclic 3',5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities were detected in mycelial culture media of wild-type Neurospora crassa and purified. The two molecular species were found to be monomeric and polymeric forms of an enzyme constituted of identical subunits having molecular weights of 50,000. This enzy...

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 کاملFunction of calmodulin in postsynaptic densities. I. Presence of a calmodulin-activatable cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity
The postsynaptic density (PSD) fraction from canine cerebra cortex was found to contain an endogenous cyclic nucleotide-phosphodiesterase activity that was independent on Mn2+ and/or Mg2+ but not on Ca2+. Maximal activity was obtained at 1 micrometer Mn2+. This cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity was not decreased upon removal of the calmodulin from the PSD fraction, nor was it increas...
متن کاملEffect of cyclic AMP on invertase activity in Neurospora crassa HERNAN
Invertase activity in wild-type and several mutant strains of Neurospora crassa, was significantly enhanced by supplementing the culture medium with cyclic AMP (5.0 mM). Cyclic AMP stimulated invertase by (i) increasing overall enzyme production and (ii) substituting for natural carbohydrate inducers (i.e. galactose or raffinose) as a requirement for maximal enzyme production. The effect of cAM...
