PG - 1309-11 AB - In our studies with purified soluble guanylate cyclase from rat lung, we have tested a number of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) analogues as substrates and inhibitors, 5'-Guanylylimidodiphosphate (GMP-P(NH)P), guanylyl (beta, gamma-methylene) diphosphate (GMP-P(CH2)P), and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) were found to be substrates for guanylate cyclase. GTP gamma S supported cyclic GMP formation at 20 or 75% of the rate seen with Mn2+-GTP and Mg2+-GTP, respectively. GMP-P(NH)P and GMP P(CH2)P supported cyclic GMP formation at 10-20% of the GTP rate with either cation cofactor. These analogues were found to have multiple Km values; one Km value was similar to GTP (150 microM with Mg2+, 20-70 microM with Mn2+), but an additional high affinity catalytic site (3 microM) was also observed. Guanosine tetraphosphate (Ki = 10 microM), adenosine triphosphate (Ki = 9 microM) and the 2'3'-dialdehyde derivative of GTP (dial GTP) (Ki = 1 microM) were not good substrates for the enzyme; however, they were potent competitive inhibitors. These GTP analogues will be useful tools for the study of GTP binding sites on guanylate cyclase and they may also help elucidate the effects of free radicals and other agents on guanylate cyclase regulation.
