Abstract
We have previously reported that many tumor cell lines express a 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (phosphodiesterase I, EC 3.1.4.1) with properties clearly distinguishable from enzymes of normal tissues (Biochim. Biophys. Acta (1988) 966, 99-106). Such an enzyme with 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity was purified from Ehrlich ascites carcinoma by measuring the cleavage of thymidine 5'-monophosphate p-nitrophenyl ester (TMP-NP). The enzyme is a soluble protein, has a pH optimum of 7.5, and the molecular mass estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is 67 kDa. The enzyme does not hydrolyze other chromogenic substrates for phosphodiesterases, nor pyrophosphate bond of various nucleotides which are cleaved by 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterases of normal tissues. But, it hydrolyzes dinucleotides to form 5'-phosphates, and is more active on 2',5'- than on 3',5'-phosphodiester bonds. These results indicate that the TMP-NP splitting enzyme in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells is a 2',5'-phosphodiesterase.

Abstract
The resolution as well as the biochemical properties of the multiple molecular forms of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, in a given tissue, may be strongly dependent upon experimental conditions of preparation (extraction of crude enzyme from tissues and fractionation procedures). In the present study, we compare the different molecular forms of cardiac (rat heart ventricle) and vascular (bovine aorta) phosphodiesterase isolated from crude extracts prepared either in sucrose medium or in hypotonic medium (in the presence of protease inhibitors and ion chelators) using two different fractionation procedures: isoelectric focusing on flat gel bed and DEAE-Trisacryl anion exchange chromatography. Both the calmodulin-dependent and the cAMP-specific forms exhibited close IEF and chromatographic patterns and showed similar sensitivities towards reference inhibitors regardless of the tissue of origin. In marked contrast, the cGMP-specific isoform notably differed from one to another tissue with respect to its biochemical properties (only the cardiac tissue being capable of stimulation by cGMP) and sensitivities to xenobiotics. Thus the possibility exists that pharmacological agents may modulate phosphodiesterase activity differently in cardiac and vascular target tissues.

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase from calf myometrium has been purified to a homogeneous state for the first time, as can be evidenced from polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis data. The purification procedure included ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, high pressure liquid chromatography on TSK 545 DEAE and gel filtration through Toyopearl HW-55. The molecular mass of the enzyme as determined by gel filtration and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is 110 kD. The purified enzyme hydrolyzes cAMP and cGMP with Km = 30 microM and 18 microM, respectively.

Abstract
A cDNA of 1762 base pairs was obtained from a cDNA library of human brain by immunoscreening, and the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA was determined. The complete amino acid sequence of human 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase was deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA. Human enzyme was found to contain 401 amino acids including initiation methionine and have a molecular weight of 45,098. RNA blot hybridization revealed a single mRNA band at the position of about 3000 bases. DNA blot hybridization suggested that a single-copy 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase gene exists per haploid genome.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody against 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase (CNP) was generated by fusing mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with delipidated white matter from rat corpus callosum. The antibody was characterized by solid-phase radioimmunoassay, immunoblot of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), immunoprecipitation from C6 glioma cells, and indirect immunofluorescence staining of monolayer cultures containing oligodendrocytes. The monoclonal antibody bound specifically to an intracellular antigen of oligodendrocytes, but not to Schwann cells, astrocytes, neurons, or fibroblast cytoplasm. The immunoblot of SDS-PAGE of CNS myelin showed that the antibody identified two protein bands at 48,000 and 50,000 molecular weight. These proteins were not identified in peripheral nervous system myelin. The monoclonal antibody immunoprecipitated CNP enzyme activity from extracts of C6 glioma cells. This monoclonal antibody should prove useful in further study of this myelin-specific enzyme in CNS myelin and in cells responsible for myelin production.

Abstract
Ca2+-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (Ca2+-PDE) activity was stimulated by poly(L-aspartic acid) but not by poly(L-glutamic acid), poly(L-arginine), poly(L-lysine), and poly(L-proline). This activation was Ca2+ independent and did not further enhance the activation of Ca2+-PDE by Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM). Poly(L-aspartic acid) produced an increase in the Vmax of the phosphodiesterase, associated with a decrease in the apparent Km for the substrate, such being similar to results obtained with Ca2+-CaM. Poly(L-aspartic acid) did not significantly stimulate myosin light chain kinase and other types of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. CaM antagonists such as N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7), trifluoperazine, and chlorpromazine selectively antagonized activation of the enzyme by poly(L-aspartic acid). Kinetic analysis of W-7-induced inhibition of activation of phosphodiesterase by poly(L-aspartic acid) was in a competitive fashion, and the Ki value was 0.19 mM. On the other hand, prenylamine, another type of calmodulin antagonist that binds to CaM at sites different from the W-7 binding sites, did not inhibit the poly(L-aspartic acid)-induced activation of Ca2+-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. These results imply that poly(L-aspartic acid) is a calcium-independent activator of Ca2+-dependent phosphodiesterase and that aspartic acids in the CaM molecule may play an important role in the activation of Ca2+-PDE.

Abstract
To investigate the biochemical abnormalities of the Trembler mouse, the level of the PO protein (as % of total protein) and the activity of CNP was compared in the sciatic nerve and subcellular fractions of normal and mutant littermates. There was a significant decrease in both of these myelin markers in total nerve homgenates of the neurological mutant compared with the control animals. Immunoassay of the PO protein and polyacrylamide gel analysis of proteins indicated an accumulation of a protein with an apparent molecular weight of 67K in mutant nerve extracts. The mutant nerve also had relatively decreased levels of a protein of molecular weight about 41K that cross-reacted with antibody to PO protein. The Trembler mouse exhibited a larger percentage recovery of PO protein and CNP activity in subcellular fractions denser than the myelin sheath. Together these results are consistent with the theories that these denser components represent immature forms of myelin and that the Trembler mutant is characterized by hypomyelination.

Abstract
Two molecular species of repressible extracellular phosphodiesterases showing cyclic 2',3'- and cyclic 3',5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities were detected in mycelial culture media of wild-type Neurospora crassa and purified. The two molecular species were found to be monomeric and polymeric forms of an enzyme constituted of identical subunits having molecular weights of 50,000. This enzyme had the same electrophoretic mobility as repressible acid phosphatase. The enzyme designated repressible cyclic phosphodiesterase showed pH optima of 3.2 to 4.0 with a cyclic 3',5'-AMP substrate and 5.0 to 5.6 with a cyclic 2',3'-AMP substrate. Repressible cyclic phosphodiesterase was activated by MnCl2 and CoCl2 with cyclic 2',3'-AMP as substrate and was slightly activated by MnCl2 with cyclic 3',5'-AMP. The enzyme hydrolyzed cyclic 3',5'- and cyclic 2',3'-nucleotides, in addition to bis-rho-nitrophenyl phosphate, but not certain 5' -and 3'-nucleotides. 3'-GMP and 3'-CMP were hydrolyzed less efficiently. Mutant strains A1 (nuc-1) and B1 (nuc-2), which cannot utilize RNA or DNA as a sole source of phosphorus, were unable to produce repressible cyclic phosphodiesterase. The wild type (74A) and a heterocaryon between strains A1 and B1 produced the enzyme and showed growth on orthophosphate-free media containing cyclic 2',3'-AMP or cyclic 3',5'-AMP, whereas both mutants showed little or no growth on these media.

Abstract
A RNA ligase from wheat germ has been extensively purified. In the presence of ATP these enzyme preparations catalyze the covalent linkage of 5'-phosphate and 2',3'-cyclic phosphate termini of RNA chains. Concomitant with the formation of a 3',5'-phosphodiester linkage, the 2',3'-cyclic phosphate is converted to a 2'-phosphate ester, in accord with the findings of Konarska et al. [Konarska, M., Filipowicz, W. & Gross, H. J. (1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79, 1474-1478]. The action of the purified enzyme is totally dependent on ATP and on RNA substrates containing a 5'-phosphate terminus at one end and either a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate or a 2'-phosphate terminus at the other end. In the latter case, the reaction is about 30% as active as with the cyclic derivative. In contrast, RNA chains containing 3'-phosphate ends are less than 5% as active as those with the cyclic ends. Purified preparations of RNA ligase have an intrinsic ability to hydrolyze 2',3'-cyclic phosphate termini to 2'-phosphate termini. This reaction is readily detectable in the absence of ATP.

Abstract
The enzyme 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase, EC 3.1.4.37) occurs not only in myelin fractions and glial cells, but can also be shown to be present in a CNS cell line of neuronal origin (B104). Direct immunofluorescence microscopy of B104 cells with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated rabbit anti-CNPase antibodies shows a discrete and specific intracytoplasmic location of CNPase. Fractionation of the cells was performed by differential centrifugation of a cell homogenate and continuous sucrose density-gradient centrifugation. As monitored by marker enzyme activities, CNPase seems to be associated with endoplasmic reticulum membranes.

Abstract
A high Km cytoplasmic cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.4.1.17) has been obtained from bovine brain. The unproteolyzed enzyme contains (63 +/- 1) X 10(3) molecular weight polypeptide chains which exhibit little if any basal catalytic activity. Complexation with calmodulin stimulates the catalytic activity nearly 2 orders of magnitude, presumably, by causing a conformational change in the enzyme which either creates or exposes the catalytic sites. Removal of about 120 amino acids from the terminal portion(s) of each polypeptide chain either by an endogenous protease or by exogenous trypsin prevents calmodulin complexation and generates a basal catalytic activity equivalent to that of the unproteolyzed enzyme-calmodulin complex. In contrast to affinity chromatography using immobilized calmodulin, blue dextran-Sepharose chromatography can be used to select for enzyme containing only unproteolyzed polypeptide chains.

Abstract
The enzyme 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) was isolated from bovine brain white matter by a rapid (72 h) procedure. The minimum molecular weight (MW) of the enzyme was approximately 52,500 as estimated by sucrose density gradient analysis. When this isolated enzyme was stimulated with bovine serum albumin (BSA), the peak of activity was shifted to approximately 90,000 MW. Prior treatment by trypsin blocked the expression of the higher MW form of CNPase, but not the BSA activation of the enzyme. If the trypsin digestion was allowed to progress, the MW was gradually lowered to a broad peak sedimenting between 20,000 and 50,000 MW. An apparently soluble form of CNPase found in serum is described. Kinetic and MW comparisons between the serum soluble enzyme and CNPase isolated from bovine brain, as well as an analysis of substrate specificity, were made and it was concluded that the two enzymes were identical.

Abstract
The sulphatase A (aryl-sulphate sulphohydrolase, EC 3.1.6.1) of ox liver hydrolyses adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) to adenosine 5'-phosphate at an optimum pH of approx. 4.3, close that for the hydrolysis of cerebroside sulphate, a physiological substrate for sulphatase A. The Km is 11.6 mM for cyclic AMP. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis sulphatase A migrates as a single protein band which coincides with both the arylsulphatase and phosphodiesterase activities, suggesting that these are due to a single protein. Cyclic AMP competitively inhibits the arylsulphatase activity of sulphatase A, showing that both activities are associated with a single active site on the enzyme. sulphatase A also hydrolyses guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate, but not uridine 3',5'-monophosphate nor adenosine 2',3'-monophosphate.

Abstract
2',3'-Cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP, EC 3.1.4.37) has been isolated from rat brain myelin by chromatography on successive columns of phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, CM-Sepharose CL-6B, and 8-(6-aminohexyl) amino-2'AMP-Sepharose 4B. From 15 g of rat brain, approximately 400 micrograms of pure CNP was obtained, with a specific activity of 1,200 (2',3'-cyclic AMP) units/mg protein. The Km of the rat enzyme was 3.7 mM, using 2',3'-cAMP as the substrate. Isoelectric focusing of the enzyme indicated a broad isoelectric range of 8.5-9.0. On SDS polyacrylamide gels, rat CNP appears as two protein bands of approximately 48,000 and 50,000 M.W., with an upper band intensity of about 1/10 that of the lower band. The relative intensities of the bands for CNP and the molecular weights correspond to the Wolfgram proteins W1 and W2 described by other investigators. The amino acid analysis of the purified rat enzyme compared favorably with reported determinations for the bovine enzyme and also with reported values for the rat Wolfgram proteins W1 and W2.

Abstract
Evidence is presented that the major protein components of the high molecular weight CNS myelin proteins designated as the Wolfgram protein doublet (W1 and W2) contain the enzyme 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.37, CNP). CNP is a basic hydrophobic protein containing about 830 to 840 amino acid residues. When electrophoresed on SDS polyacrylamide gels, CNP appears as a protein doublet, separated by a molecular weight difference of about 2500-3000 in bovine, human, rat, guinea pig, and rabbit. A similar protein doublet has been identified as the Wolfgram proteins W2 and W1 in myelin and in the chloroform-methanol-insoluble pellet obtained from myelin. Moreover, the relative Coomassie blue staining intensity of the CNP2 plus CNP1 protein doublet among the species examined was remarkably similar to that observed for electrophoresed myelin and chloroform-methanol-insoluble pellet derived from myelin. Antisera raised against purified bovine CNP recognized the W1 and W2 proteins isolated from bovine and human brain. The amino acid composition of pure bovine CNP is presented and compared with the compositions of several rat and bovine Wolfgram proteins obtained by other investigators. Our electrophoretic, compositional, and immunological data support the contention that the enzyme CNP is a major component of the Wolfgram protein doublet.

Abstract
1. A spectrophotometric assay of 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.37) based on the use of an acid-base indicator and a buffer having identical pKa values is described. The assay is simple and rapid; it was particularly convenient for monitoring the enzyme activity at various stages of purification. 2. Several proteinases were examined for their ability to solubilize 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase from delipidated brain white matter. Trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) and elastase (EC 3.4.21.11) appeared to be more effective than the other proteinases examined. Trypsin, however, caused inactivation; elastase was therefore chosen to solubilize 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase. When a partially purified preparation of 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase was treated with elastase, 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase was solubilized nearly quantitatively. Elastatinal, a specific inhibitor of elastase, specifically inhibited the solubilization with elastase. 3. 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase was purified from bovine brain white matter by: (i) delipidation; (ii) solubilization with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide; (iii) gel chromatography on Sepharose; (iv) ethanol precipitation and resolubilization by digestion with elastase; (v) chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex; (vi) affinity chromatography on 8-(6-aminohexyl)amino-2'-AMP-Sepharose. 4. The purified enzyme migrated as a single protein band on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis at pH 4.3 and on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis; the estimated mol.wt. in the latter electrophoresis was 27000-31000. Gel filtration of the purified enzyme through Sephadex G-150 indicated a mol.wt. of 31000. Therefore the purified enzyme is a monomer protein with a mol.wt. of approx. 30000.

Abstract
To avoid any loss of membranes, total particulate material prepared from the forebrain and spinal cord of rats of different ages was fractionated on linear sucrose gradients. Particle distribution, proteins and enzyme activities were measured. Beginning at early ages, optical density increases were observed around 0.60 M-sucrose, which corresponded to myelin deposition, and were expressed by the appearance of typical myelin proteins, which paralleled the peak activity of myelin-associated enzymes. During later development myelin proteins were found over a broad density range together with optical density shifts to higher (forebrain) and lower (spinal cord) values. In both regions myelin-associated enzymes shifted to heavier densities and were dissociated from the density region commonly considered to be compacted myelin.

Abstract
Calmodulin coupled to Sepharose has provided a rapid and sensitive means of isolating a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity which is stimulated by the calmodulin-Ca2+ complex, from rat parotid gland. Initial experiments established that phosphodiesterase activity sensitive to calmodulin and Ca2+ could not be demonstrated in crude extracts of rat parotid gland or after partial purification of rat parotid phosphodiesterase over DEAE-cellulose. However, it was possible to readily demonstrate the presence of a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity regulated by calmodulin if the extracts were first purified by batch ion-exchange chromatography over DEAE-cellulose followed by affinity chromatography with calmodulin coupled to Sepharose. The batch ion-exchange chromatography step removed the major portion of free parotid calmodulin which could compete with calmodulin-coupled Sepharose for the proteins regulated by calmodulin. Thus, by employing an initial chromatography step over DEAE-cellulose to separate phosphodiesterase activity from calmodulin, it was possible to increase the recovery of calmodulin-sensitive phosphodiesterase after affinity chromatrography with calmodulin coupled to Sepharose. This approach should be useful for demonstrating the presence of and for purifying other parotid proteins regulated by calmodulin.
