title: Relaxation of smooth muscle by cardiodilatin/atrial natriuretic peptide is inhibited by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation.
abstract: Cardiodilatins/atrial natriuretic peptides (CDD/ANP) exhibit a common amino acid sequence: Arg101-Arg102-Ser103-Ser104. Cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of Ser104 of atrial peptides with [gamma-32P]ATP enables rapid identification of cardiac hormones. The biological activity of in vitro phosphorylated cardiodilatin (CDD-28/alpha-hANP) is dramatically altered compared to the unphosphorylated peptide: the vaso-relaxant effect of cardiodilatin 28 is inhibited upon phosphorylation.
