Abstract

The effect of regucalcin, a calcium-binding protein isolated from rat liver cytosol, on Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide (AMP) phosphodiesterase activity in rat liver cytosol was investigated. The addition of Ca2+ (50 microM) and calmodulin 160 U/ml in the enzyme reaction mixture caused a significant increase in cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity. This increase was inhibited by the presence of regucalcin (0.5-3.0 microM); the inhibitory effect was complete at 1.0 microM. Regucalcin (1.0 microM) did not have an appreciable effect on basal activity without Ca2+ and calmodulin. The inhibitory effect of regucalcin was still evident even at several fold higher concentrations of calmodulin (160-480 U/ml). However, regucalcin (1.0 microM) did not inhibit Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in the presence of 100 and 200 microM Ca2+ added. Meanwhile, Cd2+ (25-100 microM)-induced decrease in Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity was not reversed by the presence of regucalcin (1.0 microM). The present results suggest that regucalcin can regulate Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity due to binding Ca2+ in liver cells.
