Adenylyl Cyclase in Yeast
The adenylyl cyclase system of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains the CYRl polypeptide, responsible for catalyzing formation of cAMP from ATP, and two RAS polypeptides, responsible for stimulation of cAMP synthesis by guanine nucleotides. We have determined hydrodynamic properties of yeast adenylyl cyclase in taurocholate extracts of wild type and RASdeficient membranes. In taurocholat...
متن کاملActivation and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase isoforms by forskolin analogs.
Adenylyl cyclase (AC) isoforms 1 to 9 are differentially expressed in tissues and constitute an interesting drug target. ACs 1 to 8 are activated by the diterpene, forskolin (FS). It is unfortunate that there is a paucity of AC isoform-selective activators. To develop such compounds, an understanding of the structure/activity relationships of diterpenes is necessary. Therefore, we examined the ...
متن کاملDirect activation of fission yeast adenylyl cyclase by heterotrimeric G protein gpa2.
Genetic studies on Schizosaccharomyces pombe adenylyl cyclase (cyr1) have shown that its activity is positively regulated by a heterotrimetric G protein a subunit gpa2 and that the resulting increase in intracellular cAMP concentration causes inhibition of sexual development including mating and meiosis. However, molecular mechanism underlying this gpa2-dependent regulation of cyr1 remains to b...
متن کاملDifferential activation of adenylyl cyclase by protein kinase C isoenzymes.
Cyclic AMP production within cells is altered upon protein kinase C (PKC) activation; however, whether PKC directly modulates adenylyl cyclase (AC) catalytic activity has been controversial. Molecular studies have elucidated the existence of multiple PKC isoenzymes although the functional role of this diversity is not clear. Using purified PKC and AC isoenzymes, we demonstrate that PKC zeta dir...
متن کاملActivation of adenylyl cyclase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by adhesion and by heat
Adhesion between Chlamydomonas reinhardtii gametes generates a rapid rise in cAMP levels which stimulates mating responses and zygotic cell fusion (Pasquale and Goodenough, 1987). We show here that sexual adhesion in vivo results in a twofold stimulation of flagellar adenylyl cyclase activity when the enzyme is subsequently assayed in vitro, a stimulation that is specifically blocked by Cd2+. A...
