摘要
A guanylate cyclase was identified in cilia from rat and pig olfactory epithelia. Enzyme activities were 200-250 and 90-100 pmol/min · mg-1, respectively. Activity required the presence of non-ionic detergents, e.g., 0.1% Lubrol PX. MnGTP, not MgGTP was used as a substrate. Furthermore, 0.9 mM free Mn2+ was necessary for optimal activity indicating a regulatory site for a divalent cation. The guanylate cyclase displayed sigmoidal Michaelis-Menten kinetics suggesting cooperativity between MnGTP and enzyme. S0.5 was 160 μM MnGTP. The Hill coefficient of 1.7 indicates that more than one class of substrate-binding sites interact in a positive cooperative manner. ATP inhibited the enzyme and linearized plots of substrate kinetics with MnGTP. SH-Blocking agents reversibly inhibited enzyme activity. Sodium azide and nitroprusside were without effect as were several odorants. A guanylate cyclase activity in cilia from tracheal tissue had properties similar to the olfactory enzyme. © 1990.
