A nucleotide phosphohydrolase-resistant analog of GTP, guanyl-5′-yl imidodiphosphate [GMP-P(NH)P], caused stimulation of basal adenylate cyclase activity of cardiac sarcolemma when ethylene glycol bis(β-aminoethyl ether)- N,N′-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) was absent in the assay mixture, whereas the nucleotide, in the presence of EGTA, inhibited basal cyclase activity. GTP, GDP, GMP, and guanosine failed to show such an inhibition of basal enzyme activity. The degree of both stimulatory and inhibitory effects of GMP-P(NH)P depended on the concentration of magnesium ions. The apparent affinities toward magnesium ions of the metal binding site and toward MgATP2? of the catalytic site of control and ?GMP-P(NH)P-inhibited” enzyme were similar. Isoproterenol reversed the inhibitory effect, whereas calcium ions failed to revert it. Both in the presence and absence of EGTA, GMP-P(NH)P plus isoproterenol caused a synergistic stimulation of the enzyme activity, the degree of stimulation being lower with EGTA present. Exposure of sarcolemma to GMP-P(NH)P (with and without isoproterenol and in the absence and presence of EGTA) caused an activation of adenylate cyclase, the degree of activation being higher with isoproterenol present. The activated enzyme displayed increased affinity toward Mg2+ at the metal binding site. When activated enzyme preparations were assayed in the presence of EGTA, reversal of the activated state was observed in the case of the GMP-P(NH)P-activated enzyme but not in the case of the GMP-P(NH)P + isoproterenol-activated enzyme. 相似文献

Human adenylate cyclase (ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1) has been studied in preparations of fat cell membranes ("ghosts"). As reported earlier, under ordinary assay conditions (1.0 mM ATP, 5 mM Mg2+, 30 degrees C, 10 min incubation) the enzyme was activated 6-fold by epinephrine in the presence of the GTP analog, 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate [GMP-P(NH)P] (Cooper, B. et al. (1975) J. Clin. Invest. 56, 1350-1353). Basal activity was highest during the first 2 min of incubation then slowed and was linear for at least the next 18 min. Epinephrine, added alone, was often without effect. but sometimes maintained the initial high rate of basal activity. GMP-P(NH)P alone produced inhibition ("lag") of basal enzyme early in the incubation periods. Augmentation of epinephrine effect by GMP-P(NH)P, which also proceeded after a brief (2 min) lag period, was noted over a wide range of substrate (ATP) concentrations. GTP inhibited basal levels of the enzyme by about 50%. GTP also allowed expression of an epinephrine effect, but only in the sense that the hormone abolished the inhibition by GTP. Occasionally a slight stimulatory effect on epinephrine action was seen with GTP. At high Mg2+ concentration (greater than 10 mM) or elevated temperatures (greater than 30 degrees C) GMP-P(NH)P alone activated the enzyme. Maximal activity of human fat cell adenylate cyclase was seen at 50 mM Mg2+, 1.0 mM ATP, pH 8.2, and 37 degrees C in the presence of 10(-4) M GMP-P(NH)P; under these conditions addition of epinephrine did not further enhance activity. Human fat cell adenylate cyclase of adults was insensitive to ACTH and glucagon even in the presence of GMP-P(NH)P. 相似文献

The binding of tritiated guanylylimidodiphosphate ([3H]GMP-P(NH)P) to turkey erythrocyte ghosts was studied in parallel with the activation by GMP-P(NH)P of adenylate cyclase. The high affinity binding capacity for GMP-P(NH)P, 50 pmoles per mg protein, exceeds the estimated quantity of adenylate cyclase of 1 pmole per mg of protein. The rate of nucleotide binding is not affected by isoproterenol. Further, in the presence of the hormone the rate of binding is much slower than the rate of activation. Although the rate of dissociation of bound [3H]GMP-P(NH)P is negligible at 37°, it is increased dramatically by unlabeled GMP-P(NH)P, GTP, EDTA, ATP, AMP-P(CH2)P, or p-aminophenylmercuric acetate. In contrast, the rate of decay of the GMP-P(NH)P-simulated state is not altered by these agents. Thus, the major fraction of GMP-P(NH)P binding to membranes is not relevant to cyclase activation. 相似文献

1. The lipids composition of rat liver plasma membranes was substantially altered by introducing synthetic phosphatidylcholines into the membrane by the techniques of lipid substitution or lipid fusion. 40-60% of the total lipid pool in the modified membranes consisted of a synthetic phosphatidylcholine. 2. Lipid substitution, using cholate to equilibrate the lipid pools, resulted in the irreversible loss of a major part of the adenylate cyclase activity stimulated by F-, GMP-P(NH)P or glucagon. However, fusion with presonicated vesicles of the synethic phosphatidylcholines causes only small losses in adenylate cyclase activity stimulated by the same ligands. 3. The linear form of the Arrhenius plots of adenylate cyclase activity stimulated by F- or GMP-(NH)P was unaltered in all of the membrane preparations modified by substitution or fusion, with very similar activation energies to those observed with the native membrane. The activity of the enzyme therefore appears to be very insensitive to its lipid environment when stimulated by F- or gmp-p(nh)p. 4. in contrast, the break at 28.5 degrees C in the Arrhenius plot of adenylate cyclase activity stimulated by glucagon in the native membrane, was shifted upwards by dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, downwards by dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine, and was abolished by dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine. Very similar shifts in the break point were observed for stimulation by glucagon or des-His-glucagon in combination with F- or GMP-P(NH)P. The break temperatures and activation energies for adenylate cyclase activity were the same in complexes prepared with a phosphatidylcholine by fusion or substitution. 5. The breaks in the Arrhenius plots of adenylate cyclase activity are attributed to lipid phase separations which are shifted in the modified membranes according to the transition temperature of the synthetic phosphatidylcholine. Coupling the receptor to the enzyme by glucagon or des-His-glucagon renders the enzyme sensitive to the lipid environment of the receptor. Spin-label experiments support this interpretation and suggest that the lipid phase separation at 28.5 degrees C in the native membrane may only occur in one half of the bilayer. 相似文献

Effects of glucagon and guanyl nucleotides on the rat liver plasma membrane adenylyl cyclase were studied. It was established that: 1) glucagon stimulates the fully guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (GMP-P(NH)P)-activated enzyme between 20 and 70%, provided a guanyl nucleotide is present in the assay; 2) glucagon has no effect on adenylyl cyclase activity in membranes activated fully by GMP-P(NH)P and then washed free of nucleotides. It is concluded that occupancy of the guanyl nucleotide binding site that activates the catalytic moiety of the system is not sufficient to promote hormone-receptor coupling to adenylyl cyclase and that occupancy of a second site by guanyl nucleotides is essential to effect stimulation of adenylyl cyclase by the glucagon-receptor complex. The data presented raise the question whether the guanyl nucleotide site that promotes coupling is distinct from the guanyl nucleotide site that modulates binding of glucagon to receptor and whether the occupancy of the guanyl nucleotide site associated with the catalytic moiety is necessary for coupling. 相似文献

1. Activation of adenylate cyclase in rat liver plasma membranes by fluoride or GMP-P (NH)P yielded linear Arrheniun plots. Activation by glucagon alone, or in combination with either fluoride or GMP-P(NH)P resulted in biphasic Arrhenius plots with a well-defined break at 28.5 +/- 1 degrees C. 2. The competitive glucagon antagonist, des-His-glucagon did not activate the adenylate cyclase but produced biphasic Arrhenius plots in combination with fluoride or GMP-P(NH)P. The break temperatures and activation energies were very similar to those observed with glucagon alone, or in combination with either fluoride or GMP-P(NH)P. 3. It is concluded that although des-His-glucagon is a potent antagonist of glucagon, it nevertheless causes a structural coupling between the receptor and the catalytic unit. 相似文献

The stimulatory and inhibitory effects of adenosine on the adenylate cyclases of human and pig platelets were studied. Stimulation occurred at lower concentrations than did inhibition, and the stimulatory effect was prevented by methylxanthines. Stimulation by adenosine was immediate in onset and was reversible, under conditions when cyclic AMP formation was linear with respect to time and protein concentration. The stimulatory and inhibitory effects could be distinguished further by the use of various analogues of adenosine and could be prevented by adenosine deaminase. The data suggest that both stimulation and inhibition were due to adenosine itself and not one of its degradation products and that in the platelet preparation, neither formation nor degradation of adenosine during the adenylate cyclase incubation appreciably influenced measured activity. Stimulation by adenosine was additive with the effects of GMP-P(NH)P, and alpha- or beta-adrenergic stimulation, but was abolished by prostaglandin E1 or by NaF. Prostaglandin E1 and NaF increased the sensitivity of adenylate cyclase to inhibition by adenosine. The data suggest that guanyl-5'-yl-(beta-gamma-imino)diphosphate and/or adrenergic stimulation and adenosine exert their effects on adenylate cyclase by distinct mechanisms, but that prostaglandin E1 or F- and adenosine increase enzyme activity by mechanisms which may involve common intermediates in the coupling to adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

Thyroliberin receptor binding and adenylyl cyclase activation in cultured prolactin-producing rat pituitary tumor cells (GH cells) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A thyroliberin (TRH)-responsive particulate bound adenylyl cyclase is present in two rat anterior pituitary tumor cell strains (GH4C1 and GH3) which synthesize and secrete prolactin. At a given Mg2+ concentration, ATP and the guanyl nucleotides GTP and guanyl 5'-yl-imidodiphosphate (GMP-P(NH)P) caused a dose-dependent increase in adenylyl cyclase activity. The maximum response to thyroliberin occurred with ATP and GTP at concentrations above 0.30 mM and 2 microM, respectively. The maximal stimulatory effect of thyroliberin on adenylyl cyclase activity was 2-fold in the presence of GTP. GMP-P(NH)P increased the basal enzyme activity 4- to 10-fold over and above that of equimolar concentrations of GTP but supported poorly the TRH-induced response. Mg2+ caused a dose-dependent increase in the basal enzyme activity and reduced TRH and fluoride-induced responses. Also, Mn2+ and Co2+ stimulated the basal adenylyl cyclase activity while Zn2+, Ca2+, and Cu2+ inhibited the enzyme, and neither cations supported the TRH response. Half-maximal stimulation of the adenylyl cyclase by TRH and half-maximum binding of [3H]TRH to membranes at 35 degrees C were 102 and 56 nM, respectively. Pretreatment with TRH decreased the apparent Vmax of the enzyme and the maximal binding of [3H]TRH. Of 6 TRH analogs tested, only one was able to displace [3H]TRH from its receptor and to increase the adenylyl cyclase activity. We suggest that adenylyl cyclase activation is an early event in the stimulus secretion coupling between TRH and prolactin-producing GH cells. 相似文献

Tubulin, the primary constituent of microtubules, is a GTP-binding proteins with structural similarities to other GTP-binding proteins. Whereas microtubules have been implicated as modulators of the adenylate cyclase system, the mechanism of this regulation has been elusive. Tubulin, polymerized with the hydrolysis-resistant GTP analog, 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p], can promote inhibition of synaptic membrane adenylate cyclase which persists subsequent to washing. Tubulin with Gpp(NH)p bound was slightly less potent than free Gpp(NH)p in the inhibition of adenylate cyclase, but tubulin without nucleotide bound had no effect on the enzyme. A GTP-binding protein from the rod outer segment (transducin), with Gpp(NH)p bound, was also without effect on adenylate cyclase. Tubulin (regardless of the nucleotide bound to it) did not alter the activity of the adenylate cyclase catalytic unit directly. When tubulin was polymerized with the hydrolysis-resistant photoaffinity GTP analog, [32P]P3(4-azidoanilido)-P1-5'-GTP ([32P]AAGTP), and this protein was added to synaptic membranes, AAGTP was transferred from tubulin to the inhibitory GTP-binding protein, Gi. This transfer was blocked by prior incubation of the membranes with Gpp(NH)p or covalent binding of AAGTP to tubulin prior to exposure of that tubulin to membranes. Incubation of membranes with Gpp(NH)p subsequent to incubation with tubulin-AAGTP results in a decrease in AAGTP bound to Gi and a compensatory increase in AAGTP bound to the stimulatory GTP-binding protein, Gs. Likewise, persistent inhibition of adenylate cyclase by tubulin-Gpp(NH)p could be overridden by the inclusion of 100 microM Gpp(NH)p in the assay inhibition. Whereas Gpp(NH)p promotes persistent inhibition of synaptic membrane adenylate cyclase without incubation at elevated temperatures, tubulin [with AAGTP or Gpp(NH)p bound] requires 30 s incubation at 23 degrees C to effect adenylate cyclase inhibition. Photoaffinity experiments yield parallel results. These data are consistent with synaptic membrane tubulin regulating neuronal adenylate cyclase by transferring GTP to Gi and, subsequently, to Gs. 相似文献

Adenylate cyclase in liver membranes was solubilized with Lubrol PX and partially purified by gel filtration. The partially purified enzyme was susceptible to activation by guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p). Studies on the binding of [3H]Gpp(NH)p to various fractions eluted from the gels revealed that an upper limit of 1% of the Gpp(NH)p binding sites is associated with adenylate cyclase activity stimulated by the nucleotide. The glucagon receptor, pretagged with 125I-glucagon in the membranes, solubilized with Lubrol PX, and fractionated on the same gel columns, eluted in a peak fraction that overlaps with, but is separate from, adenylate cyclase in its Gpp(NH)p-stimulated form. Addition of GTP to the solubilized glucagon-receptor complex caused complete dissociation of the complex, as has been shown with the membrane-bound form of the complex. Since the GTP-sensitive form of the glucagon receptor complex separates from the Gpp(NH)p-sensitive form of adenylate cyclase, it is concluded that the receptor and the enzyme are separate molecules, each associated with a distinct nucleotide regulatory site or component. These findings are discussed in terms of the possible structure of the hormone-sensitive state of adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

Substance P was incubated in an adenylate cyclase assay of a particulate fraction of caudate-putamen tissue of the rat in order to examine the effect of the peptide on D-1 receptor coupled adenylate cyclase in vitro. Substance P did not influence basal adenylate cyclase activity or the stimulation of the enzyme by dopamine. No influence of substance P was seen on the effects of calcium and magnesium chloride as a cofactor of adenylate cyclase. Also the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity by the dopamine antagonist fluphenazine was not influenced by substance P. However, substance P was able to enhance cyclic AMP formation in the presence of guanosine-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p), whereas the stimulatory effect of guanosine-triphosphate (GTP) was inhibited by substance P. In our study we suggest that substance P interacts with the guanine nucleotide regulatory subunit without directly affecting D-1 dopamine receptors in the caudate-putamen of the rat. 相似文献

The effects of Mg2+ and guanine nucleotides on glucagon binding to its receptor were studied using [125I-Tyr10]monoiodoglucagon. Contrary to findings with beta-adrenergic receptors, high affinity binding of the stimulatory hormone was not dependent on Mg2+ and low affinity binding could be obtained on nucleotide addition regardless of presence of Mg2+. GDP, guanyl-5'-yl thiophosphate (GDP beta S), GTP, and guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (GMP-P(NH)P) were all able to induce low affinity hormone binding. Since the Ns component of adenylyl cyclase, with which the receptor interacts, is inactive in stimulating the catalytic component C of adenylyl cyclase in the absence of Mg2+, both before and after GDP addition, it is suggested that Ns has at least two domains that change conformation independently of each other: a r domain, that interacts with the receptor and confers to it high affinity binding, and a c domain, that interacts with the catalyst C and stimulates it. It is suggested further that Ns is r+c- when stabilizing the receptor in its conformation with high affinity for hormone, and r-c- when under the influence of GDP which results in the receptor adopting the conformation that exhibits low affinity for the hormone. Comparison of potencies of the four nucleotides to induce low affinity binding showed that GDP and GDP beta S were equipotent and 10 times more potent than GTP and 100 times more potent than GMP-P(NH)P. Under the conditions used it was impossible to substantiate that the effects of GTP or GMP-P(NH)P were not due to formation of GDP from GTP or presence of GDP-like material in GMP-P(NH)P. It is suggested that, contrary to widely held opinions, GDP and GDP-like compounds, and not GTP or its analogs, are responsible for the lowering of the affinity of adenylyl cyclase stimulating receptors for their hormones or agonists. Furthermore, the experiments suggest that the c+ conformation of the c domain of Ns co-exists with the r+ and not the r- conformation of its r domain. 相似文献

In our studies with purified soluble guanylate cyclase from rat lung, we have tested a number of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) analogues as substrates and inhibitors, 5'-Guanylylimidodiphosphate (GMP-P(NH)P), guanylyl (beta, gamma-methylene) diphosphate (GMP-P(CH2)P), and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) were found to be substrates for guanylate cyclase. GTP gamma S supported cyclic GMP formation at 20 or 75% of the rate seen with Mn2+-GTP and Mg2+-GTP, respectively. GMP-P(NH)P and GMP P(CH2)P supported cyclic GMP formation at 10-20% of the GTP rate with either cation cofactor. These analogues were found to have multiple Km values; one Km value was similar to GTP (150 microM with Mg2+, 20-70 microM with Mn2+), but an additional high affinity catalytic site (3 microM) was also observed. Guanosine tetraphosphate (Ki = 10 microM), adenosine triphosphate (Ki = 9 microM) and the 2'3'-dialdehyde derivative of GTP (dial GTP) (Ki = 1 microM) were not good substrates for the enzyme; however, they were potent competitive inhibitors. These GTP analogues will be useful tools for the study of GTP binding sites on guanylate cyclase and they may also help elucidate the effects of free radicals and other agents on guanylate cyclase regulation. 相似文献

Mitochondrial ATPases from rat liver and beef heart were used to study the effects of guanylylimidodiphosphate (GMP-P(NH)P) and adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-P(NH)P) on the kinetics of MgATP, MgITP, and MgGTP hydrolysis. AMP-P(NH)P was a noncompetitive inhibitor of hydrolysis of all substrates with the rat liver enzyme, whether activating anions were present or not. Also with the liver enzyme, AMP-P(NH)P caused only MgATP hydrolysis to appear to have positive cooperativity. With the beef heart enzyme, AMP-P(NH)P was a competitive inhibitor of ATPase activity and caused positive cooperativity; it gave noncompetitive patterns with GTP or ITP as substrates. In both enzyme systems, GMP-P(NH)P gave complex inhibition patterns with MgATP as the substrate, but was a competitive inhibitor of MgITP and MgGTP hydrolysis. These results are interpreted as indicating the existence of two types of nucleotide binding sites, with varying degrees of specificity and interaction on the ATPase molecules from both sources. It is postulated that MgATP and AMP-P(NH)P bind to regulatory site while MgATP, MgGTP, Mgitp, and GMP-P(NH)P bind to the catalytic site. 相似文献

In isolated perfused rat hearts, epidermal growth factor (EGF; 15 nM) increased cellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) content by 9.5-fold. In rat cardiac membranes, EGF also stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in a dose-dependent manner, with maximal stimulation (35% above control) being observed at 10 nM-EGF. Half-maximal stimulation of adenylate cyclase was observed at 40 pM-EGF. Although the beta-adrenergic-receptor antagonist propranolol markedly attenuated the isoprenaline-mediated increase in cAMP content of perfused hearts and stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity, it did not alter the ability of EGF to elevate tissue cAMP content and stimulate adenylate cyclase. The involvement of a guanine-nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein) in the activation of adenylate cyclase by EGF was indicated by the following evidence. First, the EGF-mediated stimulation of adenylate cyclase required the presence of the non-hydrolysable GTP analogue, guanyl-5'-yl-imidodiphosphate (p[NH]ppG). Maximal stimulation was observed in the presence of 10 microM-p[NH]ppG. Secondly, in the presence of 10 microM-p[NH]ppG, the stable GDP analogue guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate at a concentration of 10 microM blocked the stimulation of the adenylate cyclase by 1 nM- and 10 nM-EGF. Third, NaF + AlCl3-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was not altered by EGF. The ability of EGF to stimulate adenylate cyclase was not affected by pertussis-toxin treatment of cardiac membranes. However, in cholera-toxin-treated cardiac membranes, when the adenylate cyclase activity was stimulated by 2-fold, EGF was ineffective. Finally, PMA by itself did not alter the activity of cardiac adenylate cyclase, but abolished the EGF-mediated stimulation of this enzyme activity. The experimental evidence in the present paper demonstrates, for the first time, that EGF stimulates adenylate cyclase in rat cardiac membranes through a stimulatory GTP-binding regulatory protein, and this effect is manifested in elevated cellular cAMP levels in perfused hearts exposed to EGF. 相似文献

The influence of detergents on fluoride- and vanadate-stimulated adenylate cyclases was investigated with enzyme from liver and adipocyte plasma membranes. Stimulation of the adipocyte cyclase by Na3VO4 was maximal (sixfold) at 3 mM, was not additive with fluoride stimulation, and was readily reversed by washing of the membranes. Vanadate stimulation of the hepatic cyclase was specifically blocked by catechol, which had no effect on basal activity or on fluoride- or glucagon-stimulated activities. The hepatic enzyme, stimulated by fluoride ion, guanyl-5'-yl-(beta,gamma-imino)diphosphate (GPP(NH)P), or GPP(NH)P and glucagon, was inhibited by vanadate with 50% inhibition seen with 2 to 6 mM vanadate. The fluoride-activated adipocyte adenylate cyclase was inhibited by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thio-triphosphate) (GTP gamma S) more potently than by GPP(NH)P, with 50% inhibition being seen with 10 nM GTP gamma S or 100 nM GPP(NH)P. These nucleotides also inhibited the vanadate-stimulated enzyme, but with one-third the potency seen with the fluoride-activated cyclase. Dispersion of the adipocyte cyclase by Lubrol-PX into a 30,000g supernatant fraction caused no change in activation of the enzyme by fluoride, but reduced vanadate-stimulated activity 80%. By comparison, this treatment enhanced stimulation by GPP(NH)P twofold and by GTP gamma S threefold. More importantly, perhaps, the treatment with detergent blocked inhibition of the basal enzyme by GTP, blocked inhibition of fluoride- and vanadate-stimulated cyclases by GTP, GPP(NH)P, or GTP gamma S, and rendered vanadate-stimulated activity sensitive to enhancement by guanine nucleotides. The data indicate differences in the actions of vanadate and fluoride, made evident by the influence of guanine nucleotides and detergent treatment. The observations would be consistent with the idea that the effects of vandate may be due to the formation of GDP X V on the enzyme. The data strongly suggest that treatment of adenylate cyclase with Lubrol-PX causes a functional blockade in the guanine nucleotide-dependent inhibitory regulation (mediated by Ni), thereby allowing activation by the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-dependent regulatory component (Ns). 相似文献

Characterization of an ATP-Mg2+-dependent guanine nucleotide-stimulated adenylate cyclase from Neurospora crassa 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A novel adenylate cyclase activity was found in crude homogenates of Neurospora crassa. The adenylate cyclase had substantial activity with ATP-Mg2+ as substrate differing significantly from the strictly ATP-Mn2+-dependent enzyme characterized previously. Additionally, the ATP-Mg2+-dependent activity was stimulated two- to fourfold by GTP or guanyl-5'-yl-imido-diphosphate (Gpp(NH)p). We propose that the ATP-Mg2+-dependent, guanine nucleotide-stimulated activity is due to a labile regulatory component (G component) of the adenylate cyclase which was present in carefully prepared extracts. The adenylate cyclase had a pH optimum of 5.8 and both the catalytic and G component were particulate. The Km for ATP-Mg2+ was 2.2 mM in the presence of 4.5 mM excess Mg2+. Low Mn2+ concentrations had no effect on adenylate cyclase activity whereas high concentrations of Mn2+ or Mg2+ stimulated the enzyme. Maximal Gpp(NH)p stimulation required preincubation of the enzyme in the presence of the guanine nucleotide and the K1/2 for Gpp(NH)p stimulation was 110 nM. Neither fluoride nor any of a variety of glycolytic intermediates or hormones, including glucagon, epinephrine, and dopamine, had an effect on ATP-Mg2+-dependent adenylate cyclase activity. However, the enzymatic activity was stimulated not only by GTP but also by 5'-AMP and was inhibited by NADH. 相似文献

1. Renal tubular membranes from rat kidneys were prepared, and adenylate cyclase activity was measured under basal conditions, after stimulation by NaF or salmon calcitonin. Apparent Km value of the enzyme for hormone-linked receptor was close to 1 x 10(-8) M. 2. The system was sensitive to temperature and pH. pH was found to act both on affinity for salmon calcitonin-linked receptor and maximum stimulation, suggesting an effect of pH on hormone-receptor binding and on a subsequent step. 3. KCl was without effect areas whereas CoCl and CaCl2 above 100 muM and MnCl2 above 1 muM inhibited F- -and salmon calcitonin-sensitive adenylate cyclase activities. The Ca2+ inhibition of the response reflected a fall in maximum stimulation and not a loss of affinity of salmon calcitonin-linked receptor for the enzyme. 4. The measurement of salmon calcitonin-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity as a function of ATP concentration showed that the hormone increases the maximum velocity of the adenylate cyclase. GTP, ITP and XTP at 200 muM did not modify basal, salmon calcitonin- and parathyroid hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase activities. 5. Basal, salmon calcitonin- and F- -sensitive adenylate cyclase activities decreased at Mg2+ concentrations below 10 mM. High concentrations of Mg2+ (100 mM) led to an inhibition of the F- -stimulated enzyme. 6. Salmon calcitonin-linked receptor had a greater affinity for adenylate cyclase than human or porcine calcitonin-linked receptors. There was no additive effect of these three calcitonin peptides whereas parathyroid hormone added to salmon calcitonin increased adenylate cyclase activity, thus showing that both hormones bound to different membrane receptors. Human calcitonin fragments had no effect on adenylate cyclase activity. 7. Salmon calcitonin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity decreased with the preincubation time. This was due to progressive degradation of the hormone and not to the rate of binding to membrane receptors. 相似文献
