The region of Escherichia coli adenylyl cyclase spanned by glycine-55 to threonine-65 was tested for its importance for enzyme activity. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to replace glycine-55 and glycine-60 as well as lysine-59, leucine-63 and threonine-65 with other amino acids. While substitution of glycine-55 with aspartic acid produced no significant change in kinetic parameters, the change of glycine-60 to aspartic acid or asparagine eliminated binding to 8-azido-ATP and decreased the Vmax (two orders of magnitude) and Km (factor of four-five). Smaller effects on kinetic parameters were observed with substitutions of lysine-59, leucine-63 or threonine-65. 相似文献

A brain adenylyl cyclase was shown to contain an epitope closely related to that specified by a conserved sequence containing a nucleotide-binding consensus sequence GXXXXGKS and located in the catalytic sites of bacterial, calmodulin-dependent adenylyl cyclases [Goyard, S., Orlando, C., Sabatier, J.-M., Labruyere, E., d'Alayer, J., Fontan, G., van Rietschoten, J., Mock, M., Danchin, A., Ullmann, A., & Monneron, A. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 1964-1967]. A monoclonal antibody, mab 164, produced against a peptide corresponding to this conserved sequence specifically inhibited the Bordetella pertussis adenylyl cyclase. It also specifically inhibited rat and rabbit brain synaptosomal adenylyl cyclases. The extent of inhibition depended upon the type of enzyme purification, reaching 90% for the calmodulin-sensitive species of enzyme and 20-35% for the forskolin-agarose-retained species. The extent of inhibition in a given fraction also depended upon the effector present. mab 164 reacted on Western blots of forskolin-agarose-retained fractions with a 175-kDa component and did not recognize the Gs alpha stimulatory subunit. Consequently, the 175-kDa protein was considered as a good candidate for an adenylyl cyclase catalyst. The adenylyl cyclase activity contained in forskolin-agarose-retained fractions was further purified on calmodulin-Sepharose. On Western blots of such fractions, mab 164 reacted with a 140-kDa protein, a component that appeared to derive from the 175-kDa protein enriched in the previous step. The kcat of this 140-kDa presumptive adenylyl cyclase was estimated to be of the order of 600 s-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The soluble calmodulin-sensitive isoform of adenylyl cyclase isolated from equine sperm is unique because it requires Mn(2+) rather than Mg(2+) for activity. To gain insight into the molecular action of metals on sperm adenylyl cyclase, the kinetics of Mn(2+) and ATP effect was examined. A biphasic response to increases in ATP concentration was observed when metal was held constant. When [Mn(2+)] exceeded [ATP], however, greatly enhanced enzyme activity was observed. The kinetic profiles were consistent with allosteric activation of adenylyl cyclase by Mn(2+). Linear transformation of the data yielded an apparent K(m) for Mn-ATP of 5.8 mM and calculated V(max) of 12 nM cyclic AMP formed/min/mg. Data analysis using calculated equilibrium concentrations of free and complexed reactants provided similar estimates of these kinetic parameters. 相似文献

Soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) is a newly identified source of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP). Unlike the well-known transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs), sAC locates to the nucleus, mitochondria and microtubules. For most cAMP-signaling microdomains, there is always an AC nearby, for example tmAC. But it was until the discovery of sAC that there was not known cAMP resource in the nucleus. sAC associates with nuclear cAMP-signaling microdomains, which were once considered to depend on the diffusion of cAMP produced by tmAC. In this report, we focus on the truncated soluble adenylyl cyclase (tsAC), the most common existence form of sAC in tissues. Two domains (145-200 aa and 257-318 aa) related with sAC nuclear localization were present here. The findings provide evidence that these two domains are critical for the nuclear localization of sAC and they collocated with the catalytic domains. 相似文献

The edema factor exotoxin produced by Bacillus anthracis is an adenylyl cyclase that is activated by calmodulin (CaM) at resting state calcium concentrations in infected cells. A C-terminal 60-kDa fragment corresponding to the catalytic domain of edema factor (EF3) was cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and purified. The N-terminal 43-kDa domain (EF3-N) of EF3, the sole domain of edema factor homologous to adenylyl cyclases from Bordetella pertussis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is highly resistant to protease digestion. The C-terminal 160-amino acid domain (EF3-C) of EF3 is sensitive to proteolysis in the absence of CaM. The addition of CaM protects EF3-C from being digested by proteases. EF3-N and EF3-C were expressed separately, and both fragments were required to reconstitute full CaM-sensitive enzyme activity. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer experiments using a double-labeled CaM molecule were performed and indicated that CaM adopts an extended conformation upon binding to EF3. This contrasts sharply with the compact conformation adopted by CaM upon binding myosin light chain kinase and CaM-dependent protein kinase type II. Mutations in each of the four calcium binding sites of CaM were examined for their effect on EF3 activation. Sites 3 and 4 were found critical for the activation, and neither the N- nor the C-terminal domain of CaM alone was capable of activating EF3. A genetic screen probing loss-of-function mutations of EF3 and site-directed mutations based on the homology of the edema factor family revealed a conserved pair of aspartate residues and an arginine that are important for catalysis. Similar residues are essential for di-metal-mediated catalysis in mammalian adenylyl cyclases and a family of DNA polymerases and nucleotidyltransferases. This suggests that edema factor may utilize a similar catalytic mechanism. 相似文献

The Bacillus anthracis cya gene encodes a calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase. A deletion cya gene product obtained by removing 261 codons at the 5' end was expressed in a protease-deficient lon- E. coli strain and purified to homogeneity. This truncated enzyme (CYA 62) exhibits catalytic and calmodulin-binding properties similar to the properties of wild-type adenylate cyclase from B. anthracis culture supernatants, i.e., a kcat of 1100 s-1 at 30 degrees C and pH 8, an apparent Km for ATP of 0.25 mM, and a Kd for bovine brain calmodulin of 23 nM. The calmodulin-binding domain of the CYA 62 truncated enzyme was labeled with a cleavable radioactive photoaffinity cross-linker coupled to calmodulin. The labeled CYA 62 protein was then cleaved with cyanogen bromide and N-chlorosuccinimide. We show that the calmodulin-binding domain of B. anthracis adenylate cyclase is located within the last 150 amino acid residues of the protein. A further deletion at the 3' end of the CYA 62 coding sequence yielded an adenylate cyclase species (CYA 57) lacking 127 C-terminal amino residues. CYA 57, still sensitive to activation by high concentrations of calmodulin, exhibits less than 0.1% of the specific activity of CYA 62. Binding of 3'dATP (a competitive inhibitor) to CYA 62 was determined by equilibrium dialysis. In the absence of calmodulin, binding of the ATP analogue to this truncated protein was severely impaired, which explains, at least in part, the absolute requirement for calmodulin for the catalytic activity of B. anthracis adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

A 2.7-kb cya A gene fragment encoding the amino-terminal end of the calmodulin-sensitive adenylate cyclase from Bordetella pertussis has been placed under the control of the lac promoter for expression in Escherichia coli. Following induction with isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactoside, calmodulin-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity was detected in a cell extract from E. coli. The expression vector directed the synthesis of a 90-kDa polypeptide that was recognized by rabbit polyclonal antibodies raised against the catalytic subunit of B. pertussis adenylate cyclase. Inspection of the deduced amino acid sequence of the cya A gene product revealed a sequence with homology to consensus sequences for an ATP-binding domain found in many ATP-binding proteins. On the basis of the analysis of nucleotide binding proteins, a conserved lysine residue has been implicated in the binding of ATP. A putative ATP-binding domain in the B. pertussis adenylate cyclase possesses an analogous lysine residue at position 58. To test whether lysine 58 of the B. pertussis adenylate cyclase is a crucial residue for enzyme activity, it was replaced with methionine by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. E. coli cells were transformed with the mutant cya A gene, and the expressed gene product was characterized. The mutant protein exhibited neither basal nor calmodulin-stimulated enzyme activity, indicating that lysine 58 plays a critical role in enzyme catalysis. 相似文献

Bacillus anthracis causes anthrax, a lethal disease affecting humans that has attracted attention due to its bioterrorism potential. PlyG is a lysin of gamma-phage, which specifically infects B. anthracis and lyses its cell wall. PlyG contains a T7 lysozyme-like amidase domain, which appears to be the catalytic domain, in the N-terminal region and has a high degree of sequence similarity with PlyL, which is an N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase encoded by the B. anthracis genome. Here, we demonstrated that two amino acid residues of PlyG, H29 and E90, are necessary for its catalytic activity in B. anthracis. These residues are structurally analogous to residues whose mutation in T7 lysozyme abolished its catalytic activity. A C-terminal deletion mutant of PlyG lacking the core sequence for binding to B. anthracis showed completely abolished binding activity, unlike PlyL, despite high sequence similarity with PlyL in the N-terminal region. This suggests that the C-terminal binding domain, as well as the N-terminal catalytic domain, is essential for the catalytic activity of PlyG. Our observations provide new insights into the mechanism of specific catalysis of PlyG in B. anthracis and may contribute to the establishment of new methods for anthrax therapy. 相似文献

Edema factor is a calmodulin dependent adenylyl cyclase secreted as one of the primary exotoxins by Bacillus anthracis. A histidine residue at position 351 located in its active site has been implicated in catalysis but direct evidence of its functional role is still lacking. In the present study, we introduced mutations in full-length edema factor (EF) to generate alanine (H351A), asparagine (H351N), and phenylalanine (H351F) variants. Spectral analysis of these variants displayed no gross structural deformities. Kinetic characterization showed that the adenylyl cyclase activity of H351N and H351F mutants decreased 34- and 40-fold, respectively, whereas H351A mutant completely lost activity. K(m) and K(i) values for ATP, pH activity profiles, and calmodulin activation curves of asparagine and phenylalanine mutants were not altered markedly. This kinetic data corroborated our ligand binding studies. Apparent K(d) values for calmodulin and ATP binding were found to be similar for wild-type EF and these active site variants. The effective substitution of H351 by asparagine and phenylalanine, albeit at a greatly reduced K(cat), without perturbing the ATP binding highlights the importance of this residue in transition-state stabilization. This was also evident from the positive free energy difference calculated for these mutants. However, equilibrium dialysis experiments revealed noticeable increase in ATP binding constant of H351A mutant, suggesting an additional role of H351 in precise substrate binding in the catalytic pocket. This is the first comprehensive study that describes the kinetic and ligand binding properties of H351 mutants and validates the importance of this residue in EF catalysis. 相似文献

Calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity is critical for hippocampus-dependent long-term memory and late phase LTP. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

It is hypothesized that Ca2+ stimulation of calmodulin (CaM)-activated adenylyl cyclases (AC1 or AC8) generates cAMP signals critical for late phase LTP (L-LTP) and long-term memory (LTM). However, mice lacking either AC1 or AC8 exhibit normal L-LTP and LTM. Here, we report that mice lacking both enzymes (DKO) do not exhibit L-LTP or LTM. To determine if these defects are due to a loss of cAMP increases in the hippocampus, DKO mice were unilaterally cannulated to deliver forskolin. Administration of forskolin to area CA1 before training restored normal LTM. We conclude that Ca2+-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity is essential for L-LTP and LTM and that AC1 or AC8 can produce the necessary cAMP signal. 相似文献

Purification of the calmodulin-sensitive adenylate cyclase from bovine cerebral cortex 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
A calmodulin-sensitive adenylate cyclase was purified 3000-fold from bovine cerebral cortex using DEAE-Sephacel, calmodulin-Sepharose, and two heptanediamine-Sepharose column steps. The purified enzyme activity was stimulated by calmodulin, forskolin, 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate, and NaF. The molecular weight of the protein component was estimated as 328 000 with a smaller form of Mr 153 000 obtained in the presence of Mn2+. The most highly purified preparations contained major polypeptides of 150 000, 47 000, and 35 000 daltons on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gels. Photoaffinity labeling of the preparation with azido[125I]iodocalmodulin gave one product of 170 000 daltons on SDS gels. It is proposed that the catalytic subunit of the calmodulin-sensitive enzyme is 150 000 +/- 10 000 daltons and that the enzyme exists as a complex of one catalytic subunit and the stimulatory guanyl nucleotide regulatory complex. These data are consistent with the previous report that the catalytic subunit of this enzyme has a molecular weight of 150 000 +/- 10 000 [Andreasen, T.J., Heideman, W., Rosenberg, G.B., & Storm, D.R. (1983) Biochemistry 22,2757]. 相似文献

Neuropeptide somatostatin (SRIF) has been shown to modulate interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion by mitogen-activated T cells. In this study, we further analyzed the transduction pathways underlying SRIF actions on human Jurkat T cells and compared SRIF signaling between nonactivated and mitogen-activated cells. SRIF effects on adenylyl cyclase activity in the absence and presence of mitogens were addressed by using three different analogs: SRIF14, SRIF28, and SMS 201-995. In semipurified membrane preparations obtained from nonactivated cells, all analogs inhibited adenylyl cyclase. However, in membrane preparations obtained from mitogen-activated cells, the maximal inhibition of adenylyl cyclase mediated by SRIF14 and SRIF28 equaled only one third of that measured in the absence of mitogens, whereas SMS 201-995 was completely inactive. To assess the relevant mechanisms associated with different effects of SRIF on adenylyl cyclase activity in nonactivated and mitogen-activated T cells, we performed binding assays by using iodinated SRIF as a radioligand. These experiments suggested that both the number of receptors and their affinities were almost identical in either nonactivated or activated cells. RT-PCR analysis of the pattern of SRIF receptor expression showed that nonactivated as well as activated Jurkat cells expressed only mRNA corresponding to the sst3 receptor subtype. Altogether, these data point to a functional activation-associated uncoupling of sst3 receptors from adenylyl cyclase in human T cells, indicating a T-cell activation-induced alteration in the sst3 receptor transduction pathway. 相似文献

Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are promising pharmacological targets for treating heart failure, cancer, and psychosis. Ribose-substituted nucleotides have been reported as a potent family of AC inhibitors. In silico analysis of the docked conformers of such nucleotides in AC permits assembly of a consistent, intuitive QSAR model with strong correlation relative to measured pK(i) values. Energy decomposition suggests that the MANT group effects an AC conformational transition upon ligand binding. 相似文献

A cDNA coding for a human brain adenylyl cyclase was isolated and sequenced. The deduced partial 675 amino-acid sequence was compared with those of other known adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases. Comparison of this predicted amino-acid sequence with that of bovine brain (type I) and rat olfactory (type III) adenylyl cyclase indicated a significant homology with the carboxyl-terminal halves of both enzymes. The homology between the human adenylyl cyclase and the other two mammalian adenylyl cyclase also appears at the topographic level. Indeed, the human enzyme includes a extremely hydrophobic region containing six potential membrane-spanning segments followed by a large hydrophilic domain. At the beginning of the hydrophilic domain, there is a 250 amino-acid region which shows not only a striking homology with the bovine and rat adenylyl cyclase (86% of similarity and 57% of identity), but also a significant homology with non-mammalian adenylyl cyclase and guanylyl cyclases. We found that this 250 amino-acid domain contains a sequence of about 165 amino-acids which is highly conserved in most of the known nucleotide cyclases suggesting that it includes residues that are critical for the function of the enzymes. 相似文献

We have recently demonstrated that a 37-amino acid peptide corresponding to the cytoplasmic domain of the natriuretic peptide receptor C (NPR-C) inhibited adenylyl cyclase activity via pertussis toxin (PT)-sensitive G(i) protein. In the present studies, we have used seven different peptide fragments of the cytoplasmic domain of the NPR-C receptor with complete, partial, or no G(i) activator sequence to examine their effects on adenylyl cyclase activity. The peptides used were KKYRITIERRNH (peptide 1), RRNHQEESNIGK (peptide 2), HRELREDSIRSH (peptide 3), RRNHQEESNIGKHRELR (peptide 4), QEESNIGK (peptide X), ITIERRNH (peptide Y), and ITIYKKRRNHRE (peptide Z). Peptides 1, 3, and 4 have complete G(i) activator sequences, whereas peptides 2 and Y have partial G(i) activator sequences with truncated carboxyl or amino terminus, respectively. Peptide X has no structural specificity, whereas peptide Z is the scrambled peptide control for peptide 1. Peptides 1, 3, and 4 inhibited adenylyl cyclase activity in a concentration-dependent manner with apparent K(i) between 0.1 and 1 nm; however, peptide 2 inhibited adenylyl cyclase activity with a higher K(i) of about 10 nm, and peptides X, Y, and Z were unable to inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity. The maximal inhibitions observed were between 30 and 40%. The inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity by peptides 1-4 was absolutely dependent on the presence of guanine nucleotides and was completely attenuated by PT treatment. In addition, the stimulatory effects of isoproterenol, glucagon, and forskolin on adenylyl cyclase activity were inhibited to different degrees by these peptides. These results suggest that the small peptide fragments of the cytoplasmic domain of the NPR-C receptor containing 12 or 17 amino acids were sufficient to inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity through a PT-sensitive G(i) protein. The peptides having complete structural specificity of G(i) activator sequences at both amino and carboxyl termini were more potent to inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity as compared with the peptides having a truncated carboxyl terminus, whereas the truncation of the amino-terminal motif completely attenuates adenylyl cyclase inhibition. 相似文献

The technique of sonication was applied in studying adenylyl cyclase activity of cultured fibroblasts. Exposure of BHK 21 c/13 to brief periods of low power sonication gives cell preparations with greater basal, fluoride and hormone sensitive adenylyl cyclase activites than those of broken cell preparations of homogenized cells. The sonicated cells provide a convenient method to study adenylyl cyclase since they are added directly to the adenylyl cyclase reaction vessels without further processing. Maximal epinephrine stimulated activity in sonicated cells is nearly equivalent to that activated by sodium fluoride, but the apparent affinity of the enzyme system is similar to that of broken cell preparations. Furthermore, broken cell preparations of sonicated cells possess greater adenylyl cyclase activity than broken cell preparations of unsonicated cells. This procedure may provide a useful tool for the analysis of the hormonal regulation of adenylyl cyclase activity of isolated cells. 相似文献

Bacillus anthracis causes anthrax, a lethal disease affecting humans that has attracted attention due to its bioterrorism potential. PlyG is a lysin of γ-phage, which specifically infects B. anthracis and lyses its cell wall. PlyG contains a T7 lysozyme-like amidase domain, which appears to be the catalytic domain, in the N-terminal region and has a high degree of sequence similarity with PlyL, which is an N -acetylmuramoyl- l -alanine amidase encoded by the B. anthracis genome. Here, we demonstrated that two amino acid residues of PlyG, H29 and E90, are necessary for its catalytic activity in B. anthracis . These residues are structurally analogous to residues whose mutation in T7 lysozyme abolished its catalytic activity. A C-terminal deletion mutant of PlyG lacking the core sequence for binding to B. anthracis showed completely abolished binding activity, unlike PlyL, despite high sequence similarity with PlyL in the N-terminal region. This suggests that the C-terminal binding domain, as well as the N-terminal catalytic domain, is essential for the catalytic activity of PlyG. Our observations provide new insights into the mechanism of specific catalysis of PlyG in B. anthracis and may contribute to the establishment of new methods for anthrax therapy. 相似文献
