Rod-outer-segment cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) (subunit composition alpha beta gamma 2) contains catalytic activity in alpha beta. The gamma-subunits are inhibitors. Removal of the gamma-subunits increases Vmax. without affecting the Km. The inhibitory effect of a single gamma-subunit (alpha beta gamma) on the Vmax. of alpha beta is much greater in bovine than in frog (Rana catesbiana) PDE. Bovine PDE in the alpha beta gamma 2 state has a Vmax. that is 2.6 +/- 0.4% of the Vmax. of alpha beta. The removal of one gamma-subunit to give alpha beta gamma results in a Vmax. 5.2 +/- 1% of that for maximal activity. Frog alpha beta gamma 2 has a Vmax. 10.8 +/- 2%, and alpha beta gamma has a Vmax. 50 +/- 18%, of the Vmax. of alpha beta. These data suggest that a single gamma-subunit can inhibit the catalytic activity of active sites on both alpha- and beta-subunits in bovine, but not in frog, rod-outer-segment PDE.
