          <Abstract> 
           Only 14-member macrolides (erythromycin and clarithromycin) showed a 
           concentration-dependent suppressive effect on IL-8 release (control, 100&percnt; 
           erythromycin at 1 &mgr;g/ml, 67.82&percnt; &plusmn;3.45&percnt; [P &lt; 0.01]; 
           clarithromycin at 5 &mgr;g/ml, 56.81&percnt; &plusmn; 9.61&percnt; [P &lt; 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 &alpha; subunit of transducin (&alpha;T) 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 &alpha;(T) yielded an &alpha;
subunit (&alpha;(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 &alpha;(T). However, unlike the
wild-type protein, the GDP-bound form of &alpha;(T)E203A was constitutively active toward the effector
of transducin, the cyclic guanosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase. Thus, the &alpha;(T)E203A mutant represents
a short-circuited protein switch that no longer requires GTP for the activation of the effector target
phosphodiesterase.
