Modulation of the cardiac membrane-bound cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase: Inhibition due to a contamination of TLC purified SAdenosylL[methyl-3H] methionine by Zn++ ions

Cardiac membranes pretreated with SAdenosylL[methyl-3H] methionine([3H] SAM) purified on TLC silica gel 60 F254 plates exhibited a marked decrease in cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activity. However, this inhibition did not appear when membranes were incubated with either [14C] SAM or unlabelled SAM. We showed that, during the TLC purification of [3H] SAM, which involved an acidic elution step, minute amounts of the fluorescent indicator F254 (Zn sulfur) were eluted. The contaminating Zn++ ions strongly inhibited cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity and phospholipid methylation with I50 values in the micromolar range.
