K-252a, an indole carbazol compound of microbial origin, inhibited activation of bovine brain phosphodiesterase induced by calmodulin (CaM), sodium oleate, or limited proteolysis with almost equal potency. Kinetic analysis revealed that the CaM-activated phosphodiesterase (CaM-PDE) was competitively inhibited by K-252a with respect to CaM. On the other hand, inhibition of the trypsin-activated phosphodiesterase was competitive with respect to cyclic AMP. Addition of a lower amount of phosphatidylserine or sodium oleate to the reaction medium was efficacious in attenuating the inhibition of the CaM-PDE by W-7, compound 48/80, or calmidazolium but, in contrast, had no effect on the inhibition by K-252a. Furthermore, CaM-independent systems such as [3H]nitrendipine receptor binding or Na+ + K+-ATPase were influenced less by K-252a compared with W-7, compound 48/80 and calmidazolium. In conclusion, K-252a is an inhibitor of CaM-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and it appears that it inhibits the enzyme not only via CaM antagonism but possibly also by interfering with the enzyme.

The effects of neurotropic compounds on Ca-binding proteins (calmodulin, troponin C) were investigated. It was shown that the majority of neuroleptics of the phenothiazine group effectively interact with the both proteins and inhibit calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and Ca2+-activated actomyosin. ATPase. Neuroleptics of the butyrophenone group as well as imipramine and diphenehydramine having a low efficiency interact only with calmodulin. Methophenazine, a phenothiazine neuroleptic, being an effective inhibitor of calmodulin and of calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase, does not influence troponin C or Ca-dependent actomyosin ATPase. Therefore, this compound may be used as a convenient tool in the study of processes controlled by these Ca-binding proteins. It is concluded that troponin C possesses Ca-dependent sites which bind pharmacological agents structurally similar to that of calmodulin. However, these sites bind pharmacological agents with a low efficiency and exhibit selectivity towards certain drugs. Despite the obvious homology of the both Ca-binding proteins, i.e., calmodulin, troponin C, their effects on the processes under their control appear to be selective.

Nanomolar concentrations of synthetic peptides corresponding to the calmodulin-binding domain of skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase were found to inhibit calmodulin activation of seven well-characterized calmodulin-dependent enzymes: brain 61 kDa cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, brain adenylate cyclase, Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase, red blood cell membrane Ca++-pump ATPase, brain calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase (calcineurin), skeletal muscle phosphorylase b kinase, and brain multifunctional Ca++ (calmodulin)-dependent protein kinase. Inhibition could be entirely overcome by the addition of excess calmodulin. Thus, the myosin light chain kinase peptides used in this study may be useful antagonists for studying calmodulin-dependent enzymes and processes.

Ca2+-independent protein-modulator (BacM) was found in the culture medium of Staphylococcus aureus. BacM activated calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase in the same way as calmodulin. BacM was shown to be a proteolytic fragment of the exotoxin secreted by the S. aureus strain under study. The kinetic analyses of the ATPase activation by BacM and CaM were performed. These studies demonstrated that the enzyme molecule contains at least two activator-sensitive sites. Experiments on the ATPase activation by Ca2+ both in the presence and in the absence of BacM and CaM documented that CaM-ATPase and BacM-ATPase complexes can exist at low concentrations of calcium. Analysis of activation curves of ATPase by Ca2+ revealed three Ca2+-binding sites in the enzyme-activator complex.

The vitamin D-dependent, calcium-binding protein from rat kidney, calbindin D28k (renal CaBP) specifically stimulates Ca,Mg-ATPase activity of human erythrocyte plasma membranes in a dose-dependent, calcium-sensitive manner. This stimulation was about two-fold compared to a three-fold stimulation by calmodulin. The effect was specific since other calcium-binding proteins and low molecular weight proteins did not stimulate Ca,Mg-ATPase activity. Renal CaBP did not stimulate cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase at concentrations greater than those which stimulated Ca,Mg-ATPase activity. This is the first report of a specific in vitro effect of renal CaBP on an enzyme system.

LY195115 selectively inhibited the peak III isozyme of cardiac cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) eluted from DEAE-cellulose columns. Inhibition curves were biphasic, suggesting heterogeneity within this preparation. Since peak III PDE is reported to be derived from membranes, effects of LY195115 upon PDE associated with cardiac membranes were examined. LY195115-sensitive PDE measured in the various membrane fractions correlated well with the sarcoplasmic reticulum marker Ca2+-ATPase (r = 0.94; p less than 0.001), but not with Na+,K+-ATPase or azide-sensitive ATPase. Membrane disruption failed to reveal latent LY195115-sensitive PDE in sarcolemmal vesicles known to be primarily right side out. The results suggest that LY195115-sensitive PDE is located within sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes with a distribution similar or identical to that of Ca2+-ATPase. Accordingly, LY195115-sensitive PDE was referred to as SR-PDE. A subfraction of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles (free SR vesicles) was sufficiently homogeneous with respect to SR-PDE activity to carry out steady state kinetic studies. Double reciprocal plots of cAMP hydrolysis were linear, yielding Km and Vmax values of 0.46 +/- 0.03 microM and 700 +/- 90 pmol/min/mg of vesicle protein, respectively. LY195115 was a linear competitive inhibitor of SR-PDE with a Ki of 80 +/- 10 nM. -LogIC50 values for inhibition of SR-PDE by a series of structural analogues of LY195115 correlated highly with published -logED50 values for stimulation of cardiac contractility in vivo (r = 0.91, p less than 0.001). Consequently, in vivo effects of LY195115 upon the heart appear to result primarily from competitive inhibition of SR-PDE, or from binding to a site with a topography similar or identical to that of the catalytic site of SR-PDE.

Chlorpromazine (CPZ) at dosages of 10 mg/kg body weight (b.wt.) affected the cytochemical localization of cAMP-dependent phosphodiesterase (cAMP PDE) activity in the synapses of the rat frontal cortex. Postsynaptic cAMP PDE activity was inhibited, and presynaptic activity increased. CPZ also inhibited membrane-bound ATPase activity in the frontal cortex. The activity of Na+-K+-ATPase was significantly (P less than 0.005) inhibited in isolated plasma membranes from the rat frontal cortex. CPZ exposure also affected the cytochemical localization of cations with potassium pyroantimonate. Precipitate, which could be removed with 5 mm EGTA, was decreased in the mitochondria and synaptic vesicles in presynaptic areas after CPZ treatment. The incorporation of 45Ca2+ into slices of the rat frontal cortex was also significantly (P less than 0.001) inhibited by CPZ. This ultrastructural study shows that CPZ may affect biochemical events in an opposite manner in the pre- and post-synaptic areas of some neurons of the frontal cortex.

CI-914 is a novel positive inotropic agent whose cardiotonic activity is not due to inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase or to stimulation of cardiac beta-receptors. CI-914 also has no direct effect on sarcoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria or adenylate cyclase activity. CI-914 does, however, exert a potent inhibitory effect on cardiac phosphodiesterase activity. In evaluating the effect of this agent on the different molecular forms of phosphodiesterase present in cardiac muscle, CI-914 was found to selectively inhibit PDE III, which is a low Km, cAMP-specific form of the enzyme (IC50 = 6.1 microM). This inhibitory effect was found to be competitive with respect to the substrate. Papaverine and theophylline on the other hand were found to inhibit all three forms of phosphodiesterase present in cardiac muscle. The role of phosphodiesterase inhibition in mediating the positive inotropic response to CI-914 is supported by the finding that this agent: (i) significantly elevates cyclic AMP levels in ventricular tissue; (ii) shifts the normal concentration-response to the beta-receptor stimulant isoproterenol to the left: and (iii) restores contractility to K+-depolarized papillary muscles.

Okadaic acid isolated from black sponge (Halichondria okadai), at the concentration of 10 mumol/l, caused contraction in saponin-treated skinned smooth muscle of guinea-pig taenia coli in the absence of Ca2+. In the presence of low concentration (0.3 mumol/l) of Ca2+, okadaic acid induced a greater contraction than in the absence of Ca2+. Okadaic acid potentiated the contractions induced by Ca2+ and pCa2+-tension curve was shifted to the left as well as upward by 1 mumol/l okadaic acid. Native actomyosin preparation (myosin B) containing calmodulinmyosin light chain kinase system and phosphatase was obtained from taenia coli. Okadaic acid (10 mumol/l) increased the actomyosin Mg2+-ATPase activity in the presence or absence of Ca2+. Okadaic acid (1-100 mumol/l) had no effect on calmodulin activity as monitored by Ca2+-calmodulin activated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity and the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity or erythrocyte membranes. These results suggest that okadaic acid directly activates contractile elements of smooth muscle.

This paper describes characterization of the reaction of calmodulin with a series of nitrosoureas which are capable of releasing amine-reactive isocyanates of varying hydrophobic character. The site of calcium-dependent carbamoylation on calmodulin by the antineoplastic agent 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea (methyl CCNU) was determined to be Lys-75 as demonstrated using [ring-14C]methyl CCNU and sequence analysis of the sole labeled peptide obtained from tryptic digestion of reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)-purified radiolabeled calmodulin. CCNU, the 4-desmethylcyclohexyl derivative of methyl CCNU, and its reactive hydrolysis product, cyclohexyl isocyanate, were also determined to modify calmodulin in a similar manner and at the same site, as demonstrated by specific blockade of modification by the calmodulin antagonist calmidazolium. Nitrosoureas which release the less hydrophobic 4-hydroxy- and 4-carboxycyclohexyl isocyanates are unable to modify calmodulin at 25-fold higher concentrations than those required for modification with methyl CCNU, CCNU, or cyclohexyl isocyanate. With this monomodified Lys-75 derivative, purified to homogeneity by HPLC, differential effects of modification on the activation of bovine brain 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (phosphodiesterase) and human erythrocyte Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase were observed. Compared to the amounts of native calmodulin needed, phosphodiesterase required 7-fold higher amounts of this derivative to reach maximal activation, whereas the activation of the ATPase was unaffected. Clearly, different regions of calmodulin are responsible for the activation of phosphodiesterase and the ATPase. We conclude that Lys-75 is not essential for the function of calmodulin but is in a region of the molecule involved in interaction with phosphodiesterase as well as the binding of certain hydrophobic calmodulin antagonists.
