| Abstract | The effects of KS-505a, a novel microbial metabolite, on the activity of calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (CaM-PDE) were investigated. (1) KS-505a potently inhibited the purified 61 kDa isoenzyme of CaM-PDE from bovine brain and required much higher doses to inhibit the purified 59 kDa isoenzyme of CaM-PDE from bovine heart. The inhibition of both isoenzymes was observed only in the presence of calcium-activated calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM). The IC50 values for the 61 and 59 kDa isoenzymes were 0.17 and 13 microM respectively with 20 microM cAMP as a substrate. (2) Kinetic analysis indicated that the inhibitory mode of KS-505a for the 61 kDa isoenzyme was competitive with respect to Ca2+/CaM; the K1 for KS-505a was 0.089 microM. The inhibition was not competitive with respect to the substrates cAMP or cGMP. (3) KS-505a did not interfere with the interaction between Ca2+/CaM and n-phenyll-naphthylamine, a hydrophobic fluorescent probe, nor was it adsorbed to CaM-conjugated gels in the presence of Ca2+, thereby indicating that KS-505a does not bind to Ca2+/CaM. (4) Trypsin-activated 61 kDa isoenzyme, which lacked the Ca2+/CaM-binding domain, was not inhibited by KS-505a at less than micromolar concentrations. Taken together, these results suggest that KS-505a apparently bound to a site in the Ca2+/CaM-binding domain of the 61 kDa isoenzyme and selectively inhibited Ca2+/CaM-activated 61 kDa isoenzyme activity. (5) In rat hippocampal slices, KS-505a at 10 micronM increased the intracellular cAMP concentration to approximately three times the basal level, whereas in rat striatal slices it had no effect on the cAMP concentration at concentrations of 1.0-10 microM, suggesting that each CaM-PDE isoenzyme functions differentially in these regions. These results demonstrate that KS-505a is a highly potent selective inhibitor both in vitro and in vivo and distinguishes between subfamily members within the CaM-PDE family. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
