title: [Ca2+-calmodulin-activated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase from the rabbit myometrium].
abstract: Two forms of soluble phosphodiesterase of cyclic nucleotides separating by DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography and not only differing in physicochemical and catalytic parameters but also differently regulated by calmodulin are found in the doe myometrium. Calmodulin with 10(-7)-10(-5) M concentrations of Ca2+ promotes the two-fold activation of the 3':5'-AMP (but not of 3':5'-GMP) hydrolysis by the first form of phosphodiesterase. Trifluoperazine (10 microM) lowers the activating action of calmodulin. The second form of soluble phosphodiesterase is not sensitive to the action of both calmodulin and Ca2+. 3':5'-GMP (10 microM) inhibits the 3':5'-AMP hydrolysis by the first form of phosphodiesterase; calmodulin exerts no effect on this process. The data obtained testify to the possible participation of Ca2+ and calmodulin in Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase regulation of the content of cyclic nucleotides (3':5'-AMP, in particular) in the doe myometrium.
