Abstract
2',3'-Cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP) is found mainly in the central nervous system of vertebrates and catalyzes the hydrolysis of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides to produce 2'-nucleotides in vitro. Recently, CNP has been identified as a member of the 2H phosphoesterase superfamily. Here we have determined the crystal structure of the catalytic fragment of human CNP (hCNP-CF) at 1.3 A resolution.

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which are ubiquitously distributed in mammalian tissues, play a major role in cell signaling by hydrolyzing cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate and cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate. Owing to their diversity, which allows specific distribution at the cellular and subcellular level, PDEs can selectively regulate various cellular functions. We present here a convenient and sensitive radioenzymatic assay for characterizing and determining the contribution of the various PDE families in cell and tissue extracts. This assay is based on the knowledge and use of chosen PDE family-specific inhibitors in order to determine the distinct PDE isozyme contribution in the overall cyclic nucleotide hydrolyzing activity. It can be used to characterize total, cytosolic, and membrane-associated PDE activities, as well as PDEs associated with purified subcellular structures. This approach is useful for comparing data of control and treated extracts and is therefore quite valuable for viewing the PDE status in different physiopathological conditions.

Abstract
YfkN isolated from the culture supernatant of Bacillus subtilis in the exponential phase of growth is a protein of 143.5 kDa that derives from a putative large precursor of 159.6 kDa processed at both the N- and C-terminal ends. Pulse-chase experiments indicated that the release occurs slowly with a half-time longer than 30 min, suggesting that the event is coupled with wall turnover. YfkN exhibits 2',3' cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, 2' (or 3') nucleotidase and 5' nucleotidase activities. In vitro the protein is reduced by subtilisin digestion to a shorter polypeptide (68 kDa), displaying phosphodiesterase activity but devoid of any 5'nucleotidase activity. This proteolytic processing led us to localize the potential active sites of the various nucleotidase activities. When bacteria were grown in low phosphate medium, the exocellular production of the enzyme was enhanced, suggesting that it plays a role in phosphate metabolism. Comparison with nucleotidase databases suggests that yfkN resulted from gene fusion.

Abstract
In search of new encephalitogenic myelin antigens, the 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP) and 19 000 MW isoform of myelin-associated oligodendrocytic basic protein (MOBP) were obtained as recombinant proteins by the baculovirus expression system in Spodoptera frugiperda cells and purified to homogeneity by immobilized metal chelate affinity chromatography (IMAC). The purified MOBP was soluble in water and showed retarded migration on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis similar to myelin basic protein (MBP). MOBP induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in nine of 15 susceptible SJL OlaHsd mice, causing death in two animals, whereas three of 14 BALB/c mice showed mild symptoms of EAE, manifested as transient weakness of hind limbs. In both mouse strains, periventricular infiltrates of mononuclear cells were observed. In addition, both 46 000 MW and 48 000 MW CNP isoforms were shown to be non-encephalitogenic for both mouse strains.

Abstract
Autoaggressive T-cells specific for myelin proteins like proteolipid protein (PLP) and myelin basic protein (MBP) are thought to play a major role in the pathogenesis of demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) is the third most abundant myelin protein in the CNS. Due to lack of supply with enough CNPase of sufficient purity its immunologic properties have not been studied yet. We subcloned a human CNPase cDNA and expressed human recombinant CNPase (rh-CNPase) in E. coli. Purification of the protein was achieved by Ni(2+)-chelating chromatography. Furthermore we describe for the first time several rh-CNPase specific T-cell lines from a multiple sclerosis patient and a healthy control.

Abstract
2',3'-Cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP) is an isoprenylated protein enriched in myelin and oligodendrocytes but also present in several other tissues at low levels. CNP binds avidly to membranes and in addition possesses several characteristics of cytoskeletal proteins. The role of isoprenylation in the association of CNP with the cytoskeleton was analyzed by ectopic expression in L cells of epitope-tagged CNP1 and a non-isoprenylated mutant CNP1. Using nonionic detergent extraction, drug-mediated cytoskeletal disruption, and coimmunoprecipitation with an anti-actin antibody, we show that CNP1 is associated with actin-based cytoskeletal elements independently of its isoprenylation status. A control protein, p21c-H-ras, which is also modified by isoprenylation at its carboxyl-terminus, does not bind to cytoskeletal structures as judged by the same criteria. We present a model that accounts for the association of CNP1 with membranes and the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
This paper describes the purification and properties of a 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase which hydrolyzes nucleoside 2',3'-cyclic monophosphates to nucleoside 2'-phosphates. The enzyme is present in encysted gastrulae of Artemia and its specific activity greatly increases during larval development. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of around 55 000 as estimated by gel filtration, does not require metals for activity, is inhibited by Zn2+ and inactivated by Cu2+ and has a pH optimum at around neutrality. Based on the relative values of V(max)/Km, the specificity of the phosphodiesterase toward the four 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides is Guo-2',3'-P > Ado-2',3'-P > Cyd-2',3'-P > Urd-2',3'-P = 45:36:20:7. The enzyme from Artemia gastrulae is competitively inhibited by the four nucleosides 2'-phosphates (Ki values around 1 mM) while the enzyme from larvae is only inhibited by the purine nucleotides. The phosphodiesterase characterized in this work is more similar in substrate specificity to the 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase from the mammalian nervous system than to the plant enzyme. The functional relationship of this enzyme with the Artemia ribonuclease VI is discussed.

Abstract
CNP (2,3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase) is the earliest myelination specific polypeptide to be synthesized by oligodendrocytes (OLs). When non-myelinating "naive" cells are transfected with the rat CNP cDNA, CNP accumulates intracellularly in a punctate manner, as well as at the plasma membrane. Filopodia and processes, like those of OLs become elongated and more numerous, and are filled with this protein. Post-translational isoprenylation of the terminal C-T-I-I sequence with either farnesyl or geranylgeranyl is essential for this phenomenon. In contrast, the non-isoprenylated C397S mutant is homogeneously distributed throughout the cytoplasm and does not markedly affect cellular morphology. We have synthesized CNP and the C397S mutant in vitro and have shown that isoprenylation is essential for the binding of newly synthesized CNP to myelin.

Abstract
The present study was done to identify and characterize the isoenzymes of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) and to determine their intracellular distribution in human kidney and heart. The in vitro effects of new cardiotonic agents, namely, NSP-805 (4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-6-[4-[(2-methyl-3-oxo-1-cyclopentenyl)amino] phenyl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone), TZC-5665 (6-[4-[2-[3-(5-chloro-2-cyanophenoxy)-2-hydroxypropylamino]- 2 -methylpropylamino]phenyl]-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone ) and its metabolites, OPC-18790 ((+/-)-6-[3-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylamino)-2 -hydroxypropoxy]-2-(1H)-quinolinone), MS-857 (4-acetyl-1-methyl-7-(4-pyridyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinone ) and E-1020 (1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-5-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)-3-pyridine carbonitrile hydrochloride monohydrate), on these human PDE isoenzymes were also investigated. PDE isoenzymes were separated from cytosolic and particulate fractions of homogenates of human kidney and heart by DEAE-Sepharose chromatography. PDE isoenzymes were identified by their elution characteristics, substrate specificities, sensitivities to regulation by effectors and by the use of isoenzyme-specific inhibitors. In a cytosolic fraction from kidney, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent PDE (CaM-PDE), cyclic GMP-stimulated PDE (cGS-PDE), cyclic GMP-inhibited PDE (cGI-PDE) and two forms of cyclic AMP-specific PDE (cAMP-PDE) were resolved. One form of cAMP-PDE (cAMP-PDE alpha), which was eluted at a lower ionic strength than cGI-PDE during DEAE-Sepharose chromatography, was newly recognized in human tissues, though the other form (cAMP-PDE beta), which eluted later than cGI-PDE, had been previously isolated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase (CNP) was phosphorylated in vivo, in brain slices and in a cell free system. Phosphoamino acid analysis of immunoprecipitated CNP labeled in vivo and in brain slices revealed phosphorylation of phosphoserine (94%) and phosphothreonine (5%) residues. Phosphorylation of CNP increased by 3-fold after brain slices were incubated with forskolin. Similarly, incubation of isolated myelin with [gamma-32]ATP with cAMP (5 microM) and cAMP (5 microM)+catalytic unit of cAMP dependent protein kinase dramatically increased CNP2 phosphorylation by 4- and 6-fold, respectively. It is feasible that CNP2 was predominantly phosphorylated on serine and/or threonine residues of the amino terminal peptide of CNP2, and this phosphorylation was catalyzed by protein kinase A. Phosphorylation of CNP1 and CNP2 increased 2-fold by incubating brain slices with phorbol ester. Forskolin and phorbol ester increased the phosphorylation of single, but distinct, CNP peptides. We present the first biochemical evidence that CNP2, on a protein mass basis, is far more heavily phosphorylated than CNP1, suggesting there are more phosphorylation sites on CNP2 than CNP1 and that at least one site is located on the 20-amino acid terminus of CNP2 and that it is likely a PKA site.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (MAb-46-1) specifically recognizing a 46 kDa basic protein solubilized from brain membranes was used to prepare an affinity column, which allowed a one-step purification of the 46 kDa protein to homogeneity starting from solubilized cerebellar membranes. MAb-46-1 could also immunoprecipitate the 46 kDa protein from solubilized pig or rat cerebellar membranes. Microsequence analysis of affinity purified 46 kDa protein treated with Lys C demonstrated the identity of the 46 kDa protein as a myelin associated protein, i.e. 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP, EC 3.1.4.37). The amino acid sequences obtained for the porcine CNP were nearly identical with the known sequences of the bovine and human isoforms but only partially with those of rat and mouse CNP. In SDS PAGE the porcine CNP appeared as a doublet of 44.6 and 45.9 kDa. Both bands of the doublet were equally well recognized by MAb-46-1. Porcine CNP was rapidly and specifically phosphorylated by both protein kinase A and cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
Cytosolic phosphodiesterase activities of Jurkat, a human T-lymphocyte cell line, were resolved by high performance liquid chromatography into two major peaks of cAMP-specific enzyme. One was the Rolipram-sensitive isozyme. The other showed a low Km value (0.45 +/- 0.04 microM) for cAMP and different properties from reported isozymes in that it was hardly affected by well-known phosphodiesterase inhibitors or activators. This enzyme, "JK-21", was found in other human T-cell lines, MOLT-4, HPB-ALL and HUT-78, whereas no fraction containing JK-21 was detected in human B-lymphocyte cell lines, Jijoye, JY and Namalwa and in human promyelocytic cell line, HL-60. The results indicate that JK-21 is a new phosphodiesterase isozyme localized to T-cells.

Abstract
Characterization of 'low Km' 3':5' cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities (PDE) expressed in mouse N18TG2 neuroblastoma cells is reported. At least 3 peaks of activity were isolated by DEAE chromatography, none of which was calcium-calmodulin stimulated and cGMP stimulated or inhibited. A first peak elutes at 200 mM sodium acetate; it specifically hydrolyzes cGMP with a Km of 4.7 microM and shows sensitivity to zaprinast [M&B 22948] (1.8 microM). A second peak eluting at 410 mM sodium acetate hydrolyzes both cyclic nucleotides. A third peak, specific for cAMP hydrolysis, elutes at 580 mM sodium acetate, has a Km of 3.2 microM and is sensitive to RO 20 1724 (7.6 microM) and rolipram (2 microM). Hydrodynamic analysis showed for the first peak a Stokes radius of 5.3 nm with a sedimentation coefficient of 8.1 S, a frictional ratio (f/fo) of 1.41 and a native molecular mass of 182 kDa. The same analysis for peak 3 showed a Stokes radius of 4.1 nm with a sedimentation coefficient of 3.2 S, a frictional ratio of 1.63 and a native molecular mass of 56 kDa. The biochemical features reported for the enzyme eluting in the first peak, and its cGMP-binding activity stimulated by inhibitors of phosphodiesterase activity, demonstrate that it belongs to the PDE V subfamily; on the other hand the cAMP specific enzyme eluting in the third peak can be assigned to the 'RO 20 1724 inhibited' form. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to the functional characteristics of the N18TG2 cell line.

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotides mediate relaxation of gastrointestinal smooth muscle. The intracellular concentration of these second messengers is determined by a balance between their synthesis and metabolism. Because cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase enzymes (PDE) are the sole enzymes responsible for their degradation, it is essential to determine the role of the various PDE isozymes in regulating cyclic nucleotide content of gastrointestinal smooth muscle. To examine the role of different PDE isozymes in colonic smooth muscle motility, soluble PDE activity was measured in fractions obtained from homogenates of canine colon using DEAE sepharose chromatography. PDE activity was determined using [3H]cyclic AMP (cAMP) (1 microM) or [3H]cyclic GMP (cGMP) (1 microM) as a substrate. Results indicated that colonic smooth muscle contains at least two forms of PDE with a high affinity for cGMP. One form was stimulated by calmodulin (type I) and the other was inhibited by low concentrations of zaprinast (type V). In addition, colonic smooth muscle contains at least two isozymes that prefer cAMP as a substrate. One form was inhibited by SB 94120 and cGMP (type III) and the other by rolipram (type IV). An additional peak of PDE activity was identified. The hydrolysis of cAMP by this peak was greatly enhanced by the presence of cGMP, suggesting that this activity belonged to type II or cGMP-stimulated PDE. The functional role of these isozymes was evaluated by determining the ability of selective PDE inhibitors to antagonize a carbachol (0.3 microM)-induced contraction of isolated circular colonic muscle strips in the presence of forskolin (0.2 microM). Concentration-dependent decreases in contractile activity were observed with the following potency order: rolipram > Ro 20-1724 > isobutyl methylxanthine > SB 94120 > zaprinast. These results demonstrate that colonic smooth muscle contains several PDE isozymes and that selective inhibition of PDE isozymes can increase cyclic nucleotide content and antagonize contractile responses. Functionally, PDE IV appears to be very important in reducing contractile activity, suggesting that selective PDE IV inhibitors might be useful in the treatment of gut hypermotility disorders.

Abstract
The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase enzymatic system is examined in extracts of human myometrium and four individual phosphodiesterase isoforms have been isolated and characterized. A new thermostable peptide, recently purified in rat and calf myometrium, is able to stimulate up to 55-fold, the calcium-calmodulin dependent phosphodiesterase isoform. Activation of cAMP hydrolysis is by far the most marked with a 55-fold maximal stimulation at a concentration of 0.1 microM peptide and a IC50 value estimated at 30nM. For cGMP hydrolysis, the maximal effect (x25) obtained at 40nM peptide is lesser and the IC50 value is in the 10nM range. Furthermore, we verified that classical calmodulin antagonists such as calmidazolium or trifluoroperazine did not change stimulation of the calcium-calmodulin phosphodiesterase by the peptide, indicating that the myometrial peptide is different from calmodulin. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence for such a strong and selective stimulation of one isoform of the phosphodiesterase enzymatic system by a natural peptide.

Abstract
The effect of flosequinan and its sulphone metabolite BTS 53,554, on phosphodiesterase isoenzymes isolated from guinea-pig cardiac and vascular smooth muscle using DEAE-cellulose chromatography was investigated. Zaprinast and milrinone showed peak I and peak III selectivity, and IBMX non-selective activity respectively, against both cardiac and vascular smooth muscle isoenzymes, as expected for these reference inhibitors. Flosequinan and BTS 53,554 demonstrated non-selective inhibition with similar potency against both cardiac and vascular smooth muscle isoenzymes and, overall, were the least potent compounds tested. The high inhibitory concentrations observed (IC50 peak III 660 microM for cardiac tissue and 230 microM for vascular smooth muscle with flosequinan) relative to its clinically effective plasma concentration (10 microM) questions the relevance of phosphodiesterase inhibition to the efficacy of flosequinan in heart failure.

Abstract
The myelination-related enzyme 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP), a relatively abundant protein in the CNS possesses the C-terminal isoprenylation consensus domain found in a small family that includes the ras oncoproteins and their relatives, some G-proteins, and nuclear lamins. We found that CNP, like these other proteins, is modified posttranslationally by an isoprenoid derived from mevalonic acid. It appears that only the smaller of the two CNP isoforms (CNP1) is isoprenylated, but similar modification of CNP2 cannot be excluded. Inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis by Lovastatin blocks the binding of newly synthesized CNP to cell membranes; binding is restored upon addition of mevalonate to the culture medium. This shows that isoprenylation is permissive for the well-known avid association of CNP with membranes.

Abstract
1. The profile of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoenzymes and the relaxant effects of isoenzyme selective inhibitors were examined in bovine tracheal smooth muscle. The compounds examined were the non-selective inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), zaprinast (PDE V selective), milrinone and Org 9935 (4,5-dihydro-6-(5,6-dimethoxy-benzo[b]thien-2-yl)-5-methyl-1 (2H)-pyridazinone; both PDE III selective), rolipram (PDE IV selective) and Org 30029 (N-hydroxy-5,6-dimethoxy-benzo[b]-thiophene-2-carboximidamide HCl a dual PDE III/IV inhibitor). 2. Ion exchange chromatography showed three main peaks of PDE activity. The first peak was stimulated by Ca2+/calmodulin (PDE I), the adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) hydrolytic activity of the second peak was stimulated by guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP) (PDE II) whilst that of the third peak was not significantly modified by any regulator (PDE IV). Calmodulin affinity chromatography revealed the additional presence of cyclic GMP-specific PDE (PDE V) in the first peak. A clearly distinct peak of cyclic GMP-inhibited PDE (PDE III) was not observed. However, Org 9935 inhibited the third activity peak more effectively in the presence, than in the absence, of rolipram (3 mumol l-1), indicating the presence of PDE III activity. 3. Rolipram was the most potent inhibitor of PDE IV. The mean -log50 IC50 values for rolipram, IBMX, milrinone, Org 30029, Org 9935 and zaprinast were 5.9 +/- 0.1, 4.9 +/- 0.1, 4.7 +/- 0.1, 4.6 +/- 0.1 and 4.6 +/- 0.1, respectively. 4. Rolipram was a potent relaxant of both histamine (1 pumol -') and methacholine (0.03 pmol -') precontracted preparations; (pD2 values; histamine 7.1 +/- 0.1, methacholine 6.8 /-+ 0.2 and 4.5 +/- 0.1, biphasic relaxation). IBMX also relaxed all preparations (pD2 values; histamine 5.6 +/- 0.1, methacholine 5.6 +/- 0.1) whilst zaprinast (pD2 values; histamine 5.2 +/- 0.1, methacholine 4.4 +/- 0.3), milrinone (pD2 values; histamine 5.2 + 0.1, methacholine 4.3 + 0.3) and Org 9935 (pD2 values; histamine 4.1 + 0.1, methacholine 4.1 +/- 0.2) did not completely relax preparations at concentrations up to 100 pImol I-. Org 30029 (pD2 values; histamine 6.2 +/- 0.1, methacholine 5.4 +/- 0.1) was a more effective relaxant than can be explained on the basis of PDE IV inhibition alone.5. We conclude that bovine tracheal smooth muscle contains five distinct PDE isoenzymes. PDE IV appears to be more important in the modulation of tissue function than PDE III and PDE V.

Abstract
We have resolved multiple forms of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) in whole rat ventricle and in isolated rat ventricular myocytes by use of anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography. One major form, the soluble calmodulin-stimulated PDE, is apparently absent from isolated myocytes. We discern four peaks of PDE activity (designated A-D in the order of their elution) in a soluble fraction obtained from whole rat ventricle. Peak A is stimulated twofold to threefold by the addition of calcium and calmodulin (Ca2+/CalM) and preferentially hydrolyzes cGMP over cAMP (in the presence of Ca2+/CalM, KmcGMP = 1.5 microM, KmcAMP = 17 microM). Peak B has similar affinities for both cAMP and cGMP (half-maximum velocities achieved at 30 microM substrate) and demonstrates positive cooperativity with cAMP but not with cGMP. The hydrolysis of cAMP by peak B is stimulated by cGMP at substrate concentrations up to 20 microM; the maximum effect is seen at 1 microM cAMP (25-fold stimulation by 3 microM cGMP). This pattern of stimulation by cGMP results from two kinetic changes: an increase in the enzyme's apparent affinity for cAMP (apparent KmcAMP decreases from 33 to 11 microM) and the abolition of positive cooperativity. Peaks C and D selectively hydrolyze cAMP, are not stimulated by Ca2+/CalM or cGMP, and differ in their affinities for substrate (peak C, apparent KmcAMP = 7.2 microM; peak D, 0.44 microM). In addition, peak D is much more sensitive than peak C to inhibition by cGMP, cilostamide, rolipram, and milrinone. Ro20-1724 is a slightly more potent inhibitor of peak D than of peak C. Peak D appears to consist of two different enzyme activities, one inhibited by cGMP, cilostamide, and cardiotonic drugs and the other potently inhibited by rolipram. In contrast to whole ventricle, the soluble fraction of isolated rat ventricular myocytes lacks peak A. Three major peaks in myocytes are entirely analogous to peaks B, C, and D of whole ventricle in terms of the NaCl concentration at which they elute, substrate affinities, and stimulation or inhibition by various drugs and effectors. We conclude that the soluble Ca2+/CalM-stimulated PDE in whole rat ventricle is present in nonmyocyte cells.

Abstract
Homogenization of rat kidney under isotonic conditions and in the presence of protease inhibitors showed that some 92% of the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity and some 83% of the cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activity was released into the soluble fraction. Analysis of soluble phosphodiesterase activity by FPLC on a Mono-Q column resolved four distinct fractions expressing cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity. Lineweaver-Burk plots for the hydrolysis of both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP yielded linear results. The first two peaks (KPDE-MQ-II, KPDE-MQ-III) showed higher activities towards cyclic GMP than cyclic AMP with the ratio of their Vmax values for the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP/cyclic GMP being 0.66 and 0.16, respectively. For the second two peaks (KPDE-MQ-IV, KPDE-MQ-V) the Vmax ratios for the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP/cyclic GMP were 6.4 and 16.7, respectively. All enzymes exhibited similar low Km values for both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP but had very different Vmax values. KPDE-MQ-II was activated by Ca2+/calmodulin. The cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity of KPDE-MQ-III was augmented by the presence of low concentrations of cyclic GMP. Thermal denaturation studies showed that the phosphodiesterase activity of each fraction decayed as a single exponential indicating that each phosphodiesterase fraction contained but a single phosphodiesterase activity. The inhibitors IBMX, zaprinast, milrinone, amrinone, buquineran, carbazeran, ICI 118233, ICI 63197 exerted selective effects on the activities of these enzymes. We compared the action of these compounds on cyclic GMP phosphodiesterases from bovine retina. Over the concentration ranges used, the bovine retinal enzyme was only inhibited by IBMX, zaprinast and carbazeran. The cytosolic isoenzymes of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases play a much more important role in metabolizing cyclic AMP in kidney compared with liver, where the activity of membrane-bound isoenzymes predominate.

Abstract
2',3'-Cyclic nucleotide-3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP1 and CNP2 with Mr of 46,000 and 48,000, respectively) is the major enzyme of central nervous system myelin. It is associated with oligodendroglial plasma membrane and uncompacted myelin (myelin-like fraction), which are in contact with glial cytoplasm. Proteins of the myelin-like fraction were labeled with [3H]palmitic acid in brain slices from 17-day-old rats and immunoprecipitated with anti-CNP antiserum. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography of immunoprecipitated material revealed intense acylation of CNP1 and CNP2, and radioactivity was released by hydroxylamine. Palmitic acid was covalently bound to CNP because radioactivity was not removed by extraction of immunoprecipitated CNP with organic solvent or by boiling in sodium dodecyl sulfate and dithiothreitol. However, treatment of immunoprecipitated CNP with (a) hydroxylamine-released palmitohydroxamate and palmitic acid, (b) sodium borohydride-released hexadecanol, and (c) methanolic-KOH-released methyl palmitate. Synthesis, acylation, or transport of CNP was not affected by monensin or colchicine. However, acylation of CNP was inhibited 24-32% by cycloheximide. These results provide conclusive evidence that CNP1 and CNP2 are fatty acid acylated with palmitate through a thioester linkage and is posttranslationally modified sometime after synthesis.

Abstract
In this study three forms of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) isolated from rabbit aorta were pharmacologically characterized, and the consequence of selective inhibition of calmodulin-stimulated PDE (CaM-PDE) and cGMP specific PDE (cG-PDE) was evaluated using PDE inhibitors. The cG-PDE (F1) was selectively inhibited by M&B 22948 (IC50 = 0.5 microM) and dipyridamole (IC50 = 7 microM). The cAMP-PDE (cA-PDE, F3) was inhibited more effectively by the cA-PDE inhibitor milrinone than by other PDE inhibitors. The cA-PDE preparation appeared to contain both cG-inhibited PDE and cG-insensitive PDE based on an additive inhibition of the activity by milrinone and SQ 65442, respective inhibitors of these enzymes. Vinpocetine, 8-methoxymethyl isobutylmethylxanthine (8-MeOMeMIX) and M&B 22948 effectively inhibited CaM-PDE (F2). Vinpocetine was a more selective inhibitor of CaM-PDE than M&B 22948 or 8-MeOMeMIX. CaM-PDEs isolated from rabbit aorta and bovine brain exhibited a similar sensitivity to these inhibitors. Seventy-two percent of the cGMP-hydrolyzing activity of this rabbit aortic CaM-PDE preparation was immunoadsorbed to monoclonal antibody (ACC-1) against CaM bound to brain CaM-PDE. Vinpocetine, 8-MeOMeMIX and M&B 22948 at concentrations (30 and 100 microM) which inhibit CaM-PDE greater than 60% increased cGMP but not cAMP levels in l-norepinephrine (NE) preincubated rabbit aortic slices. At concentrations selectively inhibiting cG-PDE, dipyridamole and M&B 22948 increased cGMP levels in untreated slices but failed to increase cGMP levels significantly in NE-treated slices. By contrast, vinpocetine failed to increase cGMP significantly in untreated slices, although it increased cGMP levels in NE or KCl preincubated slices. These data indicate that, in activated (precontracted) aorta, CaM-PDE is a major enzyme, whereas in untreated aorta cG-PDE is a predominant enzyme for the hydrolysis of cGMP. This study also shows a usefulness of selective inhibitors in identifying different forms of PDE and similar drug sensitivities and immunoadsorption of aortic and brain CaM-PDEs by a monoclonal antibody.

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.
