cGMP signalling in a transporting epithelium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The biochemical aspects of cGMP signalling are well known, although in vivo roles of cGMP have only been recently discovered through work in genetic model organisms. The Drosophila melanogaster Malpighian (renal) tubule has been used to address the roles of cGMP in epithelial function. Here, we describe some of this work and outline recent progress in understanding the organotypic function of novel phosphodiesterases encoded by the D. melanogaster genome.

Cell signalling mechanisms for insect stress tolerance.
Insects successfully occupy most environmental niches and this success depends on surviving a broad range of environmental stressors including temperature, desiccation, xenobiotic, osmotic and infection stress. Epithelial tissues play key roles as barriers between the external and internal environments and therefore maintain homeostasis and organismal tolerance to multiple stressors. As such, t...
متن کاملFluid transport in Drosophila melanogaster tubules is regulated by guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate
An important role of guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) in epithelial fluid transport has been demonstrated in the insect equivalent of the vertebrate renal system, the Malpighian tubules (Davies, 2000). Malpighian tubules are fluid transporting, osmoregulatory organs that are critical for insect life (Dow and Davies, 2001). Drosophila melanogaster tubules, which constitute an importan...
متن کاملMathematical Modelling of Nitric Oxide/Cyclic GMP/Cyclic AMP Signalling in Platelets
Platelet activation contributes to normal haemostasis but also to pathologic conditions like stroke and cardiac infarction. Signalling by cGMP and cAMP inhibit platelet activation and are therefore attractive targets for thrombosis prevention. However, extensive cross-talk between the cGMP and cAMP signalling pathways in multiple tissues complicates the selective targeting of their activities. ...
متن کاملNegative feedback in NO/cGMP signalling.
Most of the effects of the signalling molecule nitric oxide (NO) are mediated by the stimulation of the NO-sensitive GC (guanylate cyclase) and the subsequent increase in cGMP formation. The enzyme contains a prosthetic haem group, which mediates NO stimulation. In addition to the physiological activator NO, NO-sensitizers like the substance YC-1 sensitize the enzyme towards NO and may therefor...
متن کاملNO/cGMP-dependent modulation of synaptic transmission.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional messenger in the CNS that can signal both in antero- and retrograde directions across synapses. Many effects of NO are mediated through its canonical receptor, the soluble guanylyl cyclase, and the second messenger cyclic guanosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP). An increase of cGMP can also arise independently of NO via activation of membrane-bound particulat...
