Abstract
The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) in extracts of purified human peripheral blood T-lymphocytes was examined by ion exchange high pressure liquid chromatography. Four peaks of activity were isolated. The first peak of activity selectively hydrolyzed cyclic GMP. The following 3 peaks of activity (Ia, IIa and IIIa) were selective for cyclic AMP. The selective low Km cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase inhibitor, Ro 20-1724 (d,1-1,4-[3-butoxy-4-methoxybenzyl]-2-imidazolidinone), did not inhibit the activity in Ia whereas it did inhibit the activity in IIa and IIIa (IC50 = 17 microM). The authors conclude that ion exchange high pressure liquid chromatography described in this communication is a useful method for the isolation of different forms of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity from human T-lymphocytes.Entities:
