Abstract

A protein phosphokinase (ATP: protein phosphotransferase EC 2.7.1.37) which is stimulated by 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP) has been partially purified from both the cytoplasmic and membrane fractions of human platelets. The kinetics of both enzymes preparations are similar in respect to cyclic AMP, ATP, ADP and AMP. 5-10-minus 7 M cyclic AMP stimulated both preparations by approximately 100%. Both ADP and AMP at a concentration of 5-10-minus 5 M inhibited protein phosphokinase activity of the soluble and membrane preparation by between 50% and 70%. The response of the two enzyme preparations to calcium differed. 10 mM Ca-2+ inhibited soluble protein phosphokinase activity approximately 80% both in the presence and absence of 5-10 minus 7 M cyclic AMP whereas the same concentrations of Ca-2+ inhibited the membrane-bound enzyme by approximately 60% in the presence of 5-10-minus 7 M cyclic AMP and 40% in the absence of cyclic AMP. This observation may be of importance in understanding the mechanism of platelet aggregation.

Inhibition of cardiac sympathetic neurotransmission by adenosine.

Experiments were performed to study the effect of adenosine on sympathetic neurotransmission to the myocardium. Adenosine administration to pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs resulted in decrease in blood pressure and significant impairment of cardioacceleration produced by stimulation of cardiac sympathetic nerves. The positive chronotropic effect of intravenous norepinephrine was not affected by adenosine. The blood pressure lowering as well as the inhibitory effect of adenosine on cardiac sympathetic nerve function could be significantly antagonized by theophylline. These results provide in vivo evidence in support of the hypothesis that adenosine caused inhibition of sympathetic neurotransmission via an action on purinergic receptors located on sympathetic nerve terminals.

The role of 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase in 5'-methylthioadenosine-mediated inhibition of lymphocyte transformation.

To determine if increased 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase activity in activated lymphocytes may be responsible for the decreased inhibitory effect noted when 5'-methylthioadenosine is added after stimulation, the activity of this enzyme was monitored during lymphocyte transformation. A direct correlation existed between the transformation process and 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase activity; the longer the stimulation process progressed, the phosphorylase activity; the longer the stimulation process progressed, the greater the enzyme activity. The 7-deaza analog of 5'-methylthioadenosine, 5'-methylthiotubercidin, was utilized to explore further the role that the phosphorylase may play in the reversal process. 5'-Methylthiotubercidin acted as a potent inhibitor, but not a substrate, of the 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, and was an even more potent inhibitor of lymphocyte transformation than 5'-methylthioadenosine. However, in direct contrast to the 5'-methylthioadenosine effect, inhibition by 5'-methylthiotubercidin could not be completely reversed. These data suggest the 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase plays an important role in reversing 5'-methylthioadenosine-mediated inhibition and that the potent, nonreversible inhibitory effects of 5'-methylthiotubercidin are due to its resistance to 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase degradation.
