Abstract
1. Supernatant fluids from rat cerebral cortex, cerebellum, kidney, heart and liver contained more phosphodiesterase activity hydrolysing cyclic GMP than that hydrolysing cyclic AMP when assayed with sub-saturating concentrations of substrate. 2. These activities were resolved into several fractions by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration; no two tissues had similar activity profiles. 3. With every tissue examined, a fraction (fraction II) with a molecular weight of about 150,000 was obtained which hydrolysed cyclic GMP preferentially at sub-saturating substrate concentrations in the presence of micromolar concentration of Ca2+, millimolar concentration of Mg2+ and a protein activator. 4. The activity of fraction II accounted for about 60 percent in liver, more than 80 percent in heart and cerebellum, and almost 100 percent in cerebral cortex of the total activity for cyclic GMP hydrolysis, calculated from the activity profiles. 5. Km values of fraction II samples from kidney, heart and liver for cyclic GMP were 1.3, 1.7 and 5 μM respectively. 6. 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine inhibited hydrolysis of cyclic GMP by fraction II with an I50 value of 3muM for heart and liver and 50 μM for cerebrum. 7. The activator protein, with an estimated molecular weight of about 30,000 was isolated from all the tissues listed in 1.8. The concentrations of activator protein and of the isolated enzyme, fraction II, did not correspond exactly.Keywords
