Neurohypophyseal Hormone-Responsive Adenylate Cyclase from Mammalian Kidney

Abstract: The investigation was undertaken to evaluate the direct stimulatory effects of neurohypophyseal hormones upon adenylate cyclase activity in a cellfree, particulate fraction derived from the kidney medulla of various mammalian species. The relative affinity of neurohypophyseal hormones for the receptor component of the adenylate cyclase system (as defined by the concentration of hormone required for half-maximal stimulation) had the order [8-argininel-vasopressin > [8-lysinel-vaso-pressin >> oxytocin (AVP > … Show more

“…Our experiments were performed on piglets in vivo because there exist corresponding studies in vitro on preparations from the same animal (4,15,20). With respect to their small blood volume, ADH cannot be determined directly.…”

“…The known components of the cellular action of vasopressin are qualitatively similar in all mammalian renal medulla examined (15), and bovine renal medulla was chosen for our in vitro studies because it was available in sufficient quantities for subcellular preparations.…”

“…When particulate fractions of renal medullary homogenate were studied and compared with soluble proteins, double-layer disks of DEAE cellulose paper and GF/C Whatman glass fiber papers were used to assure retention of membrane fragments. GF/C glass fiber paper itself retained neither [ Adenylate cyclase was assayed by the method described in our previous study (15). For the chromatographic separation of cyclic AMP from other nucleotides, we used a modification described recently (16).…”

“…This suggests that uptake by the contraluminal aspect of the tubular cells occurs. It is likely that at least part of the AVP cleared from the peritubular compartment binds to specific receptors on the contraluminal plasma membranes of the distal tubule and collecting ducts with subsequent activation of vasopressin-sensitive adenylate cyclase at this site (12)(13)(14)(15). Apart from serving to stimulate the formation of cyclic-AMP, the AVP removed from the peritubular compartment is probably degraded by the rich supply of enzymes present in the plasma membrane (16) and in the cell (17)(18)(19).…”
