Addition of calcium chloride to soluble preparations of tyrosine monooxygenase from snail brain appears to produce an activation of the enzyme when assayed with subsaturating concentrations of the pteridine cofactor 6 MPH4 (2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methyltetrahydropteridine). While some increase in the activity occurs with calcium chloride at a concentration of 0.01 mM, activation is increased by about 100% at 1mM and reaches a maximum at 5mM (144%) where it remains more or less constant up to 10mM. Barium chloride also produces an activating effect although it is much less pronounced while magnesium chloride is without effect. EGTA has no direct effect on the enzyme but antagonises the activation produced by calcium chloride. The activation of tyrosine monooxygenase by calcium is reflected in changes in the kinetic properties of the enzyme, decreasing the Km from 43 muM to 19 muM for tyrosine and from 670muM to 230muM for the pteridine cofactor. No change was observed with V values for either tyrosine or pteridine cofactor. It is suggested that calcium, which enters the nerve terminal during nerve stimulation, regulates the transmitter dopamine by activating the rate-limiting enzyme tyrosine monooxygenase.
