<Abstract>
Only 14-member macrolides (erythromycin and clarithromycin) showed a
concentration-dependent suppressive effect on IL-8 release (control, 100%
erythromycin at 1 &mgr;g/ml, 67.82% ±3.45% [P < 0.01];
clarithromycin at 5 &mgr;g/ml, 56.81% ± 9.61% [P < 0.01]).
The effect was found at therapeutic concentrations and appeared to occur at the
posttranscriprtional level. Upon mutation of Asp-L210 or Asp-M17 to Asn, k<inf>H</inf>
decreased from P<sup>n-1</sup> to P<sup>n+i</sup>.

<Abstract>
Glutamic acid-203 of the α subunit of transducin (αT) resides within
a domain that undergoes a guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-induced conformational change that is essential
for effector recognition. Changing the glutamic acid to an alanine in bovine α(T) yielded an α
subunit (α(T)E203A) that was fully dependent on rhodopsin for GTP-guanosine diphosphate (GDP) exchange
and showed GTP hydrolytic activity similar to that measured for wild-type α(T). However, unlike the
wild-type protein, the GDP-bound form of α(T)E203A was constitutively active toward the effector
of transducin, the cyclic guanosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase. Thus, the α(T)E203A mutant represents
a short-circuited protein switch that no longer requires GTP for the activation of the effector target
phosphodiesterase.
