Rod-outer-segment cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) (subunit composition alpha beta gamma 2) contains catalytic activity in alpha beta. The gamma-subunits are inhibitors. Removal of the gamma-subunits increases Vmax. without affecting the Km. The inhibitory effect of a single gamma-subunit (alpha beta gamma) on the Vmax. of alpha beta is much greater in bovine than in frog (Rana catesbiana) PDE. Bovine PDE in the alpha beta gamma 2 state has a Vmax. that is 2.6 +/- 0.4% of the Vmax. of alpha beta. The removal of one gamma-subunit to give alpha beta gamma results in a Vmax. 5.2 +/- 1% of that for maximal activity. Frog alpha beta gamma 2 has a Vmax. 10.8 +/- 2%, and alpha beta gamma has a Vmax. 50 +/- 18%, of the Vmax. of alpha beta. These data suggest that a single gamma-subunit can inhibit the catalytic activity of active sites on both alpha- and beta-subunits in bovine, but not in frog, rod-outer-segment PDE.
视杆外段环鸟苷酸磷酸二酯酶(PDE)(亚基组成为αβγ2)的催化活性存在于αβ中。γ亚基起抑制作用。去除γ亚基会增加最大反应速度(Vmax),而不影响米氏常数(Km)。单个γ亚基(αβγ)对αβ的Vmax的抑制作用在牛PDE中比在青蛙(牛蛙)PDE中更强。处于αβγ2状态的牛PDE的Vmax是αβ的Vmax的2.6±0.4%。去除一个γ亚基得到αβγ,其Vmax为最大活性时Vmax的5.2±1%。青蛙的αβγ2的Vmax为αβ的Vmax的10.8±2%,αβγ的Vmax为αβ的Vmax的50±18%。这些数据表明,单个γ亚基可抑制牛视杆外段PDE中α和β亚基上活性位点的催化活性,但对青蛙视杆外段PDE则无此作用。
