RESUMO
During development of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, cAMP induces chemotaxis and expression of different classes of genes by means of interaction with surface cAMP receptors. We describe a cAMP derivative, 8-p-chlorophenylthioadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-CPT-cAMP), which inhibits cAMP-induced chemotaxis at low concentrations but induces chemotaxis at supersaturating concentrations. This compound, moreover, selectively activates expression of aggregative genes but not of postaggregative genes. 8-CPT-cAMP induces normal cGMP and cAMP accumulation but in contrast to cAMP, which increases inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate levels, 8-CPT-cAMP decreases inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate levels. The derivative induces reduced activation of guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins, which may cause its defective activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production. Our data suggest that disruption of inositolphospholipid signaling impairs chemotaxis and expression of a subclass of cAMP-regulated genes.
