Abstract
1. Isoelectric focusing on a flat gel bed of the rat heart cytosolic fraction resolved cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity into several forms, characterized by their substrate specificity, kinetic constants and dependence towards Ca2+ and calmodulin. A peak of pI 4.9 displayed 20 times more affinity for cyclic GMP than for cyclic AMP and was markedly inhibited by EGTA. A less substrate-specific form, only slightly sensitive to EGTA inhibition, focused at pH 5.45. Several overlapping peaks detected between pH 5.55 and pH6 specifically hydrolysed cyclic AMP, with non-Michaelian kinetics; these peaks were insensitive to Ca2+ chelation. 2. Isoelectric focusing did not dissociate enzyme-calmodulin complexes, as none of the resulting peaks was activatable by calmodulin plus Ca2+. 3. Some new information on rat cardiac phosphodiesterase is obtained with this technique, which is convenient for routine analytical studies of phosphodiesterase, as well as for preparative purposes.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
