PG - 3979-84 LID - 10.1016/j.febslet.2010.07.059 [doi] AB - We analysed the function and intracellular signalling of the cyclic pyrimidinic nucleotide cCMP. The membrane-permeable cCMP analogue dibutyryl-cCMP mediated mouse aorta relaxation. cCMP activated purified cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK) Ialpha and Ibeta and stimulated cGK in aorta lysates. cCMP-induced relaxation was abolished in cGKI-knockout tissue. Additionally, deletion of inositol-trisphosphate receptor associated cGKI substrate (IRAG) suppressed cCMP-mediated relaxation. Signalling of cCMP via cGKI/IRAG appears to be of broader physiological importance because cCMP-mediated inhibition of platelet aggregation was absent in cGKI- and IRAG-deficient platelets. These results demonstrate that cCMP acts as intracellular messenger molecule, most unexpectedly utilizing the cGMP signal transduction pathway.
