Inhibition of GTP-utilizing enzymes by tyrphostins.

Tyrphostins are a group of organic compounds which are widely used as a tool to specifically inhibit protein tyrosine kinases (Yaish, P., Gazit, A., Gilon, C., and levitzki A. (1988) Science 242, 933-935; Gazit, A., Yaish, P., Gilon, C., and Levitzki A. (1989) J. Med. Chem. 32, 2344-2352; Lyall, R. M., Zilberstein, A., Gazit, A., Gilon, C., Levitzki, A., and Schlessinger J. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 14503-14509; Osherov, N., Gazit, A., Gilon, C., and Levitzki, A. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 11134-11142). We report here that members of the tyrphostin family inhibit the GTPase activity of transducin and the enzymatic activities of other GTP-utilizing proteins in retinal rod outer segments, such as guanylyl cyclase or fructose-6-phosphate kinase. In contrast, ATP-utilizing enzymes such as hexokinase or rhodopsin kinase were not effected.[1]
