Abstract;We have prepared zein peptides and characterized their ability to regulate the activity of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase(PDE) isozymes obtained from canine heart ventricle. Native-zein inhibited 42%, 18%, and 25% of the activities of PDE1, PDE2, and PDE4, respectively. AT1 was prepared by partial hydrolysis of the native-zein with 0.3N CHl at 50.DEG.C. for 24hr. The AT1 increased the activities of 63% and 40% of PDE1 and PDE4. AT1 was hydrolyzed with pepsin chymotrypsin, thermolysin, and subtilisin. Pepsin- and chymotrypsin-treated AT1 increased the activity of PDE1 by 75%. Deaminated-zein were prepared by mild HCl hydrolysis (with 0.2N HCl at 55.DEG.C. for 5hr). Deamidation of zein had no effect on the activities of PDE1, PDE3, and PDE4. However, a deaminated-zein fraction (DA-3) increased PDE2 activity by 16%. From these results, it was confirmed that zein peptides had regulatory effects on PDE isozymes. (author abst.)
