title: Dibutyryl-cyclic GMP stimulation of Ca2+ -ATPase activity in rat brain synaptic membranes.
abstract: The effects of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (db-cAMP) and dibutyryl cyclic GMP (db-cGMP) were tested on Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activities in lysed synaptosomes prepared from whole rat brains (minus cerebellum). At concentrations from 0.1 to 2.0 mM, db-cGMP produced a selective, concentration-dependent increase in Ca2+-ATPase activity. Both db-cGMP and db-cAMP slightly reduced Mg2+-ATPase activity, whereas neither compound had concentration-dependent effects on (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity. These findings suggest that the Mg2+-independent, Ca2+-ATPase activity in rat brain is regulated by a cyclic GMP-dependent process. Further, the data provide evidence that the Ca2+-ATPase activity in lysed synaptosomal membranes represents an enzyme that is distinguishable from both the Mg2+ -and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase.
