2′‐Phosphodiesterase Activity in Human Cell Lines Treated or Untreated with Human Interferon

Abstract: 2′‐Phosphodiesterase activity was investigated, by measuring either the disappearance of (2′‐5′)oligo(adenylate) or the release of 5′AMP, in several human cell lines (RSa, IFr, HEC‐1, WGAr and HeLa) possessing different sensitivities to interferon, and treated or untreated with human interferon. In various cell lines whose (2′‐5′)‐oligo(adenylate) synthetase was normally induced by interferon treatment, both kinetic studies and measurements at different enzyme concentrations indicated that 2′‐phosphodiesterase… Show more

“…The core molecules could be merely end-products devoid of activity. However, there is no evidence for such a specific phosphatase, whereas the pathway involving a 2'-phosphodiesterase seems well documented (22,23,29). An independent origin for the core molecules would imply a 2-5A synthetase working differently from that already described.…”

“…However, such procedures did not permit quantitative assessment of the structural requirements of the 2-5A analogs for RNase L activation, i.e. because of the membrane damage ensuing from these procedures as well as the low stability of 2-5A itself [8,30-321. At least two other enzymes are involved in the 2-5A pathway: (i) a phosphodiesterase, which specifically cleaves (2' -5 ')-phosphodiester linkages, starting at the 2'-terminus; the induction of this enzyme by IFN has been demonstrated only in mouse L cells [33] and its role in intact cells is not yet understood [34]; (ii) one or several phosphatases able to dephosphorylate 2-5A to its core; the occurrence of this (these) enzyme(s) in intact cells are/is also not clear [28]. The presence of these two enzymes may account for the rapid degradation of 2-5A in intact cells and cell extracts.…”

“…2-5As that lack a 5'-terminal dior triphosphate or that are composed of less than three adenylate residues are not capable of activating the endonu-clease (15,33). Phosphodiesterase levels were found to be unaffected in a variety of interferon-treated cells (1,30,36,37), although the induction of phosphodiesterase was observed in some systems (17,20,27).…”
