Variations in cyclic AMP level and specific activities of adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase during the cell cycle of an Actinomycete (author's transl)

The variations in the concentrations of intra- and extracellular cyclic AMP and in he specific activities of adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) have been monitored in synchronized cultures of Nocardia restricta, a prokaryote belonging to the group of Actinomycetes. At the beginning of the cell cycle, during a first period of RNA and protein synthesis, there is an increasing synthesis of adenylate cyclase which can be suppressed in the presence of chloramphenicol or rifampicin. Simultaneously, the specific activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase decreases and the concentrations of intra- and extracellular cyclic AMP rise. After the end of DNA replication, during a second period of RNA and protein synthesis, the specific activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase increases; during the same time, the specific activity of adenylate cyclase and the level of intracellular cyclic AMP drop. It appears that the overall metabolism of cyclic AMP is coordinated so that the cyclic AMP level will be high at the beginning of DNA replication and will fall thereafter. The results are discussed in comparison with known data about the variations of cyclic AMP during the cell cycle of mammalian cells in cultures.
