Activating mutations in the receptor for C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), guanylyl cyclase B (GC-B, also known as Npr2 or NPR-B), increase cellular cGMP and cause skeletal overgrowth, but how these mutations affect GTP catalysis is poorly understood. The A488P and R655C mutations were compared with the known mutation V883M. Neither mutation affected GC-B concentrations. The A488P mutation decreased the EC50 5-fold, increased Vmax 2.6-fold, and decreased the Km 13-fold, while the R655C mutation decreased the EC50 5-fold, increased the Vmax 2.1-fold, and decreased the Km 4.7-fold. Neither mutation affected maximum activity at saturating CNP concentrations. Activation by R655C did not require disulfide bond formation. Surprisingly, the A488P mutant only activated the receptor when it was phosphorylated. In contrast, the R655C mutation converted GC-B-7A from CNP unresponsive to CNP responsive. Interestingly, neither mutant was activated by ATP, and the Km and Hill coefficient of each mutant assayed in the absence of ATP were similar to those of wild-type GC-B assayed in the presence of ATP. Finally, 1 mM 2,4,6,-trinitrophenyl ATP inhibited all three mutants by as much as 80% but failed to inhibit WT-GC-B. We conclude that: 1) the A488P and R655C missense mutations result in a GC-B conformation that mimics the allosterically activated conformation, 2) GC-B phosphorylation is required for CNP-dependent activation by the A488P mutation, 3) the R655C mutation abrogates the need for phosphorylation in receptor activation, and 4) an ATP analog selectively inhibits the GC-B mutants, indicating that a pharmacologic approach could reduce GC-B dependent human skeletal overgrowth.
