1 GMP would be broken down to guanosine by the enzyme 5"-nucleotidase on the cytoplasmic (extradiscal) surface of the disks. guanosine 5'-monophosphorothioate 5'-nucleotidase Bos taurus
2 GMP would be broken down to guanosine by the enzyme 5"-nucleotidase on the cytoplasmic (extradiscal) surface of the disks. Guanosine 5'-nucleotidase Bos taurus
3 The presence of 5"-nucleotidase on the cytoplasmic surface was verified by using sucrose continuous gradients to show its association with the photoreceptors and by using disk preparation and concanavalin A binding to demonstrate its presence on the extradiscal surface. Sucrose 5'-nucleotidase Bos taurus
4 The 5"-nucleotidase on the extradiscal surface is light insensitive, has a broad optimal pH range, shows a divalent cation dependence, and is competitively inhibited by nucleoside di- and triphosphates. nucleoside di- and triphosphates 5'-nucleotidase Bos taurus
5 When the data determined experimentally were extrapolated to physiological conditions, we obtained a decay time constant for GMP breakdown by 5"-nucleotidase in the range of 0.4 to 1.06 s. This time constant is in the range of the time constants of the fall of rod cell receptor potential, suggesting a possible role for GMP level in visual transduction. guanosine 5'-monophosphorothioate 5'-nucleotidase Bos taurus
