Abstract

The regulation of platelet AMP deaminase activity by ATP, GTP and phosphate was studied in human platelets in situ, and in vitro after partial purification. In intact platelets, a similar 50% decrease in cytosolic ATP was induced by either glucose starvation or treatment with H2O2. During starvation, AMP deaminase was in the inhibited state, as ATP consumption was mostly balanced by the accumulation of AMP. During H2O2 treatment, however, the enzyme was in the stimulated state, as the AMP formed was almost completely deaminated to IMP. Cytosolic GTP fell by 40-50% in both starvation and H2O2 treatment. In contrast, intracellular phosphate was 4-5-fold higher in starved than in H2O2-treated cells. These data point to phosphate as the main regulator of AMP deaminase activity in situ. This conclusion was verified by kinetic analysis of partially purified AMP deaminase. At near-physiological concentrations of MgATP, MgGTP and phosphate, the S0.5 (substrate half-saturation constant) for AMP was 0.35 mM. Half-maximal stimulation by MgATP occurred at a concn. between 2 and 3 mM. This stimulation was antagonized by the inhibitory effects of phosphate (IC50 = 2.0 mM) and MgGTP (IC50 = 0.2-0.3 mM), which acted in synergism (IC50 is the concentration causing 50% inhibition). We conclude that the difference in adenylate catabolism between starved and H2O2-treated platelets is due to the distinct phosphate concentrations. During starvation, refeeding and H2O2 treatment, the values of the adenylate charge and the phosphorylation potential were kept closely co-ordinated, which may be effected by AMP deaminase.
