Properties of the separated catalytic and regulatory units of brain adenylate cyclase.

Abstract: Adenylate cyclase from bovine brain cortex was solubilized with 14 mM cholate and 1 M (NH4)2SO4. Gel filtration over a column of Sepharose 6B separated the catalytic unit (CU) from a factor (G/F) that confers responsiveness to 5'-guanylyl imidophosphate (p[NH]ppG) or fluoride. The separated CU, which elutes with a Kav, of 0.48 +/- 0.01 (n=5), is not responsive to p[NH]ppG or fluoride and is relatively inactive when Mg . ATP is the substrate but activated 8-15-fold by Mn2+. The separated G/F elutes with a Kav o… Show more

“…In contrast, there was no age-related change in maximum adenylyl cyclase stimulation by Mn2+, an adenylyl cyclase catalytic unit activator whose action is not influenced by G proteins. 48 In older explanted hearts, we observed a marked decrease in the maximum tension response to isoproterenol as well as a reduced isoproterenol/Ca2`ratio, similar to what has recently been reported in isolated human ventricular myocytes.49 Additionally, the EC50 value for isoproterenol was markedly increased (by 10-fold) with age. Despite these changes in the fl-receptor pathway, younger and older hearts had similar myocardial levels of the adrenergic neurotransmitters norepinephrine and NPY and similar levels of dopamine and epinephrine.…”

“…In human ventricular myocardium, adenylate cyclase re- Values are maximum net increase in tension±SEM (n refers to number of trabeculae). These data suggest that PPH failing right ventricle exhibits a chamber-specific abnormality ofthe adenylate cyclase catalytic subunit (C) which leads to a reduction in activity when G, is "activated" by NaF (38) or C is stimulated by Mn2" (39). However, when GTP and Mg2" are added to the reconstituted, standard adenylate cyclase assay condition the response of PPH right ventricular preparations to certain agonists (VIP, histamine, and NaF) is normal, suggesting that the catalytic subunit defect can be overcome by the addition of moderate amounts of guanine nucleotides and Mg2+.…”

“…Speigel & Aurbach, 1974;Lefkowitz, 1975 hormone and nucleotide effectors impinging on the system. This possibility has recently been strengthened in studies demonstrating that the apparently 'excess' G-proteins can restore the sensitivity to guanine nucleotides of isolated catalytic subunits in reconstitution experiments (Strittmatter & Neer, 1980). Genetic manipulation and reconstitution have provided another avenue for functionally and physically isolating the G-protein, as well as for beginning to identify the nature of its interaction with other components of the adenylate cyclase systems.…”
