[Proof of adenylate cyclase activity in the coronary artery of cattle].
In two fractions obtained from the bovine A. coronaria adenylate cyclase activity was identified and characterized. The adenylate cyclase activity of the 75,000 X g sediment shows a pH optimum at 7.4. The temperature dependence of this adenylate cyclase activity is linear when represented in the Arrhenius plot, and an Arrhenius activation energy of 13.2 kcal Mol-1 can be calculated for the enzyme reaction. The Km-value of the enzyme to ATP is 6 +/- 0.6 - 10(-4) M. The adenylate cyclase activity of the 75,000 X g sediment can be stimulated by NaF. 5'AMP and adenosine inhibit the adenylate cyclase activity of the 75,000 X g sediment. With regard to the enzyme activity, Mn++ and Co++ replace Mg++, but not Ca++. The monovalentcations Na+ and K+ do not influence the adenylate cyclase activity. In a particulate fraction containing plasma membranes, adenylate cyclase activity was also identified. This adenylate cyclase activity can be stimulated by catecholamines, noradrenaline, and isoproterenol. This stimulation can, however, only be proved for the enzyme in the coronaries of 9-week-old and 2-year-old animals. The adenylate cyclase activity from the coronaries of adult animals is not affected by catecholamines. These findings are discussed with regard to hypertension frequently found in adult animals.
