Activation of Neurospora crassa soluble adenylate cyclase by calmodulin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The soluble form of adenylate cyclase was extracted and purified from wild-type Neurospora crassa mycelia. Brain or N. crassa calmodulin significantly enhanced this enzyme activity in assay mixtures containing Mg2+-ATP as substrate. EGTA reverses this calmodulin activation.

Activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclase by glucagon in Neurospora crassa.
Membrane-bound adenylate cyclase in Neurospora crassa is activated by glucagon. Half-maximal effect is observed at hormone concentrations of about 10 nM. After solubilization of the enzyme with Lubrol-PX, the glucagon effect is lost. Incubation of neurospora cells with glucagon leads to a decrease in the activity of glycogen synthetase (EC 2.4.1.11) and to an increase in the activity of glycoge...
متن کاملAdenylate cyclase activity in Neurospora crassa.
Adenylate cyclase, the enzyme responsible for cyclic adenylate synthesis has been found in membrane fractions of animal cells (l-4). This enzyme system is stimulated by several hormones, showing a wide range of specificity. The occurrence of a similar enzyme activity has been also demonstrated in Escherichia coli and Bacillus liquejaciens (5-7)) but in these organisms the mechanism that regulat...
متن کاملIn vivo control of gluconeogenesis in wild-type Neurospora crassa and in the adenylate cyclase-deficient cr-1 (crisp) mutant.
The rate of cycloheximide-resistant incorporation of carbon from [14C]alanine and [14C]acetate into polysaccharidic material was used to study gluconeogenic activity in wild-type Neurospora crassa and in the adenylate cyclase-deficient cr-1 (crisp-1) mutant. The wild-type efficiently utilized alanine and acetate as gluconeogenic substrates, whereas the mutant used acetate efficiently but was un...
متن کاملCalmodulin activation of rat lung adenylate cyclase is independent of the cytoplasmic factors modulating the enzyme.
Adenylate cyclase activity in the rat lung membranes washed with 150 microM-EGTA was stimulated by calmodulin in the presence of 100 microM-Ca2+. The calmodulin activation of the enzyme was concentration-dependent; however, at high concentrations the activation was diminished. Activation of adenylate cyclase by calmodulin was immediate, reversible and due to an increase in the Vmax. without app...
متن کاملDifferential regulation by calmodulin of basal, GTP-, and dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities in bovine striatum.
The concentration requirements of calmodulin in altering basal, GTP-, and dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities in an EGTA-washed particulate fraction from bovine striatum were examined. In the bovine striatal particulate fraction, calmodulin activated basal adenylate cyclase activity 3.5-fold, with an EC50 of 110 nM. Calmodulin also potentiated the activation of adenylate cyclase by...
