Guanylate cyclase (GTP pyrophyosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.2) activity was examined in preparations from normal rat liver and a series of Morris hepatomas. Homogenate gyanylate cyclase activites were 3.2, 1.6 and 1.2 nmol cyclic GMP formed per min/g tissue ihe non-substrate analogs of IMP were weak inhibitors of this enzyme, GMP and four of its analogs had Ki values ranging from 30 to 80 muM. The GMP analogs (8-azaGMP, 7-deaza-8-azaGMP, 2'-dGMP and beta-D-arabinosylGMP) and GMP were competitive inhibitors with respect to GTP.

Enzymes in particulate fractions from sea urchin sperm and in soluble fractions from rat lung were shown to catalyze the formation of inosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic IMP) and of 2'-deoxyguanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic dGMP) from ITP and dGTP, respectively. With sea urchin sperm particulate fractions, Mn2+ was an essential metal cofactor for inosinate, deoxyguanylate, guanylate and adenylate cyclase activities. Heat-inactivation studies differentiated inosinate and deoxyguanylate cyclase activities from adenylate cyclase, but indicated an association of these activities with guanylate cyclase. Preincubation of sea urchin sperm particulate fractions with trypsin altered in a very similar manner guanylate, inosinate, and deoxyguanylate cyclase activities, and various metals and metal-nucleotide combinations protected the three cyclase activities to comparable degrees against trypsin. The relative guanylate, deoxyguanylate and inosinate cyclase activities at 0.1 mM nucleoside triphosphate were 1.0, 0.5 and 0.08, respectively. With these three cyclase activities, plots of reciprocal velocities against reciprocal Mn2+-nucleoside triphosphate concentrations were concave upward, suggesting positive homotropic effects. With rat lung soluble preparations, relative guanylate, deoxyguanylate, inosinate and adenylate cyclase activities at 0.09 mM nucleoside triphosphate were 1.0, 1.7, 0.1 and 0, respectively. MnGTP was a competitive inhibitor of deoxyguanylate cyclase activity (Ki equals 12.2 muM) and MndGTP was a competitive inhibitor of guanylate cyclase activity (Ki equals 16.2 muM). Inhibition studies using ITP were not conducted. When soluble fractions from rat lung were applied to Bio-Gel A 1.5 m columns, elution profiles of guanylate, deoxyguanylate and inosinate cyclase activities were similar. These results suggest that deoxyguanylate, guanylate and inosinate cyclase activities reside within the same protein molecule.

Guanosine 3'-phosphate and 2'-deoxyguanosine 3'-phosphate are potent inhibitors of guanylate cyclase of various tissues of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. The inhibitory activity is specific for guanine 3'-nucleotides. Thus, 2'-GMP and 5'-GMP are one order or more less potent than 3'-GMP, and the other 3'-nucleotides except 3'-IMP, i.e. 3'-AMP, 2'-deoxy-3'-AMP, 3'-CMP, and 3'-TMP, have no inhibitory activity. Guanosine and 2'-deoxyguanosine are only weakly active. The 3'-nucleotide inhibition is dependent on the concentration of Mn2+. The concentrations of 2'-deoxy-3'-GMP and 3'-GMP required for 50% inhibition are 0.12 and 0.15 mM, respectively, with 5 mM Mn2+.
