Formation of a persistent inhibitory state of brain adenylate cyclase by GTP analogs.
Addition of 10 microM guanyl-5'-ylimidodiphosphate at 30 degrees or 0 degree to guinea pig brain particulates instantaneously evoked nearly 50% inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity as determined after removal of the GTP analog by washing of the particulates. The inhibitory state, once formed, persisted for at least 60 min as long as the preparation was kept either in a medium devoid of the analog (0-30 degrees) or in its presence at 0 degree. During incubation at 30 degrees in the presence of the analog, however, the inhibited or nontreated enzyme showed a gradual increase in enzyme activity. Both the inhibitory and the activating effects of the analog were saturable, with a half-maximal concentration of about 1.0 microM, and were antagonized by simultaneous addition of GTP, GDP, and GMP (in decreasing order). The persistently inhibited enzyme enabled the detection of marked stimulation by norepinephrine and histamine, whereas these amines showed only marginal stimulation of the enzyme before treatment with the analog. Formation of such a persistent inhibitory state appears to be specific to brain cyclase.
