title: Demonstration, in leukemia L-1210 cells, of a phosphodiesterase acting on 3':5'-cyclic CMP but not on 3':5'-cyclic AMP or 3':5'-cyclic GMP.
abstract: cCMP-specific phosphodiesterase activity was demonstrated in the 80 to 100% ammonium sulfate fraction obtained from disrupted leukemia L-1210 cells. The activity was linear with time (up to 60 min), was a function of protein concentration, and was markedly stimulated by Mg2+ and by ammonium sulfate. Under identical assay conditions, no significant hydrolysis of cAMP or cGMP was observed, although these cyclic nucleotides served as substrates for phosphodiesterase(s) present in all the fractions obtained by less than 80% ammonium sulfate saturation. This is the first demonstration of a cCMP-specific phosphodiesterase.
