[Proof of guanylate cyclase activity in the coronary artery of cattle].
Guanylate cyclase activities were identified in a soluble fraction and a particular fraction obtained from the Arteria coronaria of cattle. The Km-value was 1.0 +/- 0.7 - 10(-4) M for the enzyme substrate complex of the guanylate cyclase of the soluble fraction and 9.2 +/- 1.5 - 10(-4) M for the particular fraction. For the enzyme activity of the soluble fraction Mn++ cannot be replaced by Ca++ or Mg++, whereas for the enzyme activity of the particulate fraction Mn++ can be replaced by Mg++ but not by Ca++. The guanylate cyclase of the particulate fraction can be activated by acetylcholine. This activation can be cancelled by atropine. Acetylcholine exerts no influence on the guanylate cyclase activity of the soluble fraction. ATP inhibits the enzyme activities of both fractions whereas cAMP shows no influence on the guanylate cyclase activity.
