The zinc-containing high Km cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase of bakers' yeast.
The high Km cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was purified by an improved procedure. Its amino acid composition is reported. Its pI is 5.85 +/- 0.1. Sedimentation equilibrium analysis of the native enzyme gave Mr = 88,000 +/- 6,000, whilst gel electrophoresis in the presence of dodecyl sulfate gave a molecular weight of 43,000, indicating that the enzyme is a dimer. Preparations of 94 +/- 4% purity contained about 2.4 atoms of zinc/43,000 daltons. Inactivation of the enzyme by 8-hydroxyquinoline was accompanied by removal of about 2 zinc atoms per monomer. Partially inactivated enzyme regained activity during dialysis against zinc, or, with less effect, cobalt salts. 8-Hydroxyquinoline (Ki = 1.1 mM) and 1,10-phenanthroline (Ki = 0.6 mM) were competitive inhibitors. The enzyme was also inhibited by the nonchelating 1,7-and 4,7-phenanthrolines and by thiols and KCN, but not by NaN3. These inhibitors probably act by binding to, but not chelating, enzyme-bound zinc.
