The differentiation-inducing factor-1 (DIF-1)isolated from Dictyostelium discoideum is a potent antiproliferative agent that induces growth arrest and differentiation in mammalian cells in vitro. However, the specific target molecule(s) of DIF-1 has not been identified. In this study, we have tried to identify the target molecule(s) of DIF-1 in mammalian cells, examining the effects of DIF-1 and its analogs on the activity of some candidate enzymes. DIF-1 at 10-40 mum dose-dependently suppressed cell growth and increased the intracellular cyclic AMP concentration in K562 leukemia cells. It was then found that DIF-1 at 0.5-20 mum inhibited the calmodulin (CaM)-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE1) in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. Kinetic analysis revealed that DIF-1 acted as a competitive inhibitor of PDE1 versus the substrate cyclic AMP. Because DIF-1 did not significantly affect the activity of other PDEs or CaM-dependent enzymes and, in addition, an isomer of DIF-1 was a less potent inhibitor, we have concluded that PDE1 is a pharmacological and specific target of DIF-1.
