Inhibition of the catalytic subunit of ram sperm adenylate cyclase by adenosine.

Abstract:

:Adenosine inhibits ram sperm adenylate cyclase activity which is membrane-bound and comprises only the catalytic subunit. The inhibition parameters of adenylate cyclase by adenosine were not modified when the enzyme was purified 3 to 5,000 fold. Optimal inhibition by adenosine was found to require a high concentration of manganese, and exhibited a noncompetitive pattern up to a concentration of 1 mM adenosine. Adenosine was the most potent inhibitor among various analogs tested with the following rank order of potencies: adenosine greater than 2'O-methyladenosine greater than 2'deoxyadenosine much greater than 2 chloroadenosine. Studies with agonists and antagonists of the "R"-type adenosine receptor led us to conclude that adenosine inhibits ram sperm adenylate cyclase via a "P"-site carried by the catalytic subunit itself.
