Cyclic 3'-5' guanosine monophosphate-dependent activity in Leishmania amazonensis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although there are some data concerning the nitric oxide and the cyclic 3'-5'guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway in trypanosomatids, there is no report about the cGMP-dependent enzymatic activity identification. In this sense, a cGMP dependent activity was detected on soluble fraction from Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes with a high metacyclic level. This information is valuable in order to explore the metabolic pathway of G kinase protein in this parasite.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the peripheral antinociception effects of specificphosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor vardenafil on carrageenan-induced nociception in rats,and the role of calcium besides the L-arginine- nitric oxide (NO)- cyclic guanosine monophophate(cGMP) pathway in these effects. Hyperalgesia was induced by the intraplantar injection of 0.1mL fresh carrageenan solut...

متن کاملPurification and characterization of 3':5'-cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase.
Guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase has been purified to homogeneity from bovine lung by affinity chromatography and characterized. Partially purified protein kinase, specifically activated by low concentrations of cGMP (22 NM), was adsorbed onto 8-(2-aminoethyl)-amino-adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate-Sepharose. After washing to remove nonspecific proteins, ...
متن کاملIn Search of Enzymes with a Role in 3′, 5′-Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate Metabolism in Plants
In plants, nitric oxide (NO)-mediated 3', 5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) synthesis plays an important role during pathogenic stress response, stomata closure upon osmotic stress, the development of adventitious roots and transcript regulation. The NO-cGMP dependent pathway is well characterized in mammals. The binding of NO to soluble guanylate cyclase enzymes (GCs) initiates the synt...

Cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (kinase A) and cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (kinase G) were assayed in lymphocytes of normal subjects, adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). There was a good correlation between the activity of the two kinases and the level of the correspon...
