Abstract
The recent report of 2',3'-cAMP isolated from rat kidney is the first proof of its biological existence, which revived interest in this mysterious molecule. 2',3'-cAMP serves as an extracellular adenosine source, but how it is degraded remains unclear. Here, we report that 2',3'-cAMP can be hydrolyzed by six phosphodiesterases containing three different families of hydrolytic domains, generating invariably 3'-AMP but not 2'-AMP. The catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) of each enzyme against 2',3'-cAMP correlates with that against the widely used non-specific substrate bis(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate (bis-pNPP), indicating that 2',3'-cAMP is a previously unknown non-specific substrate for PDEs. Furthermore, we show that the exclusive formation of 3'-AMP is due to the P-O2' bond having lower activation energy and is not the result of steric exclusion at enzyme active site. Our analysis provides mechanistic basis to dissect protein function when 2',3'-cAMP hydrolysis is observed.Copyright 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
