The inhibition of plant and animal adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate phosphodiesterases by a cell-division-promoting substance from tissues of higher plant species.

چکیده
One member of a new class of cell-division-promoting factors, that has been given the trivial name of cytokinesin I, is a potent inhibitor of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate phosphodiesterases of both plant and animal origin. Since an adenylate cyclase has been demonstrated in this study to be present in plant cells, the results suggest that cytokinesin I may be exerting its biological effects in promoting division in cells of higher plant species as a regulator of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate.

Failure to Detect Cyclic 3', 5'-Adenosine Monophosphate in Healthy and Crown Gall Tumorous Tissues of Vicia faba.
Attempts were made to provide proof for the occurrence of cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate in healthy and crown gall tissues of Vicia faba. Although our purified extracts gave positive readings in the Gilman binding assay for cyclic AMP, they were not digested by a specific cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase from beef heart. The extracts were digested, however, by a part...
متن کاملArtefactual Origins of Cyclic AMP in Higher Plant Tissues.
A highly sensitive radioimmunoassay has been used to determine the levels of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in five higher plants (Lactuca sativa, Helianthus annuus, Oryza sativa, Pinus pinaster, Nicotiana tabacum). Particular attention was paid to the three main sources of errors in the characterization of cAMP in plants: presence of interfering substances in plant tissues; possib...

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity was studied in 33 malignant neoplastic, 2 benign neoplastic, and 18 nonneoplastic human mammary tissues. Enzyme activity, using both cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate and cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monosphosphate as substrates, was measured in whole homogenates over a concentration range of 1 to 100 muM. Specific activity was calculated at substrate c...

Background: Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play a major role in the regulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)- and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-mediated pathways. Their inhibitors exhibit anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory and antithrombotic effects. Therefore, consumption of foods with PDE-inhibiting potential may possess beneficial influence on the risk of cardiovascular diseases. ...

Endogenous levels of cyclic adenosine-3':5'-monophosphate in coleoptile first leaf segments of oat (Avena sativa L.), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) callus, and germinating seeds of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were measured with a modified Gilman binding assay and a protein kinase activation assay. The incorporation of adenosine-8-(14)C into compounds with ...
