RESUMO
Experiments with cold exposure confirmed previous studies indicating that the endogenous protein acitvator of phosphodiesterase (PDEA) isolated by Cheung participates in the in vivo regulation of 3':5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in adrenal medulla. This activator of cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) (3':5'-cyclic-AMP 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.17) is present in the particulate as well as the soluble fractions of rat brain. It was found that a purified cAMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37), in the presence of ATP and cAMP, stimulates 3-fold the release of PDEA from the particulate fraction of rat brain and adrenal medulla. The substrate for this phosphorylation could be either a membrane protein that binds PDEA or PDEA itself. In vivo evidence, however, obtained by injecting rats intraventricularly with [gamma-32P]ATP, indicates that the PDEA does not contain radioactive phosphate in its structure. Also, PDEA could not be phosphorylated by protein kinase in vitro. The following mechanism is postulated: when the intracellular content of cAMP increases it activates a protein kinase which phosphorylates a PDEA-binding membrane protein and releases PDEA. In turn this binds to activator-deficient high Km PDE and decreases its Km to facilitate the hydrolysis of the increased concentration of cAMP.
