Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate in nervous tissue: increase associated with synaptic transmission.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brief periods of stimulation of the preganglionic nerve fibers produced a severalfold increase in the content of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate in superior cervical sympathetic ganglia, whereas postganglionic stimulation did not. These and other experiments indicated that the increased concentrations of adenosine 3'5'-monophosphate were closely associated with the process of synaptic transmission. This increase occurred primarily in postsynaptic cells.

Phosphorylation of endogenous protein of rat brain by cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase.
The ability of proteins in various subcellular fractions of the rat cerebrum to act as substrates for a partially purified cyclic adenosine 3’,5’-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase has been studied in vitro. Distribution of substrates generally paralleled the distribution of activity of protein kinase as well as of adenylate cyclase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Alth...
متن کاملAltered synaptic plasticity in Drosophila memory mutants with a defective cyclic AMP cascade.
Synaptic transmission was examined in Drosophila mutants deficient in memory function. These mutants, dunce and rutabaga, are defective in different steps of the cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) cascade. In both dunce and rutabaga larvae, voltage-clamp analysis of neuromuscular transmission revealed impaired synaptic facilitation and post-tetanic potentiation as well as abnormal resp...
متن کاملAdenosine 3',5-monophosphate-dependent phosphorylation of a specific protein in synaptic membrane fractions from rat cerebrum.
SUMMARY The endogenous phosphorylation of protein in various membranous subcellular fractions from rat cerebrum has been studied in vitro. The endogenous phosphorylation of one minor protein component of synaptic membrane fractions showed a marked dependence upon the presence of added adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP). The apparent molecular weight of this phosphoprotein was approximat...
متن کاملIntraneuronal guanylyl-imidodiphosphate injection mimics long-term synaptic hyperpolarization in Aplysia.
The phosphodiesterase (3':5'-cyclic AMP 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.17) inhibitor thepohylline enhances both the amplitude and duration of a long-lasting synaptic hyperpolarization in identified neuron R15 in Aplysia californica. Intraneuronal injection into R15 of glanylyl-imidodiphosphate, an adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] activator, results in a deep...
متن کاملCyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-stimulated phosphorylation of isolated neurotubule subunits.
The possible relationship between cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and neurotubules in synaptic transmission has been explored. The neurotubular subunit protein from bovine cerebral cortex has been prepared. The addition of cAMP to this preparation in the presence of ATP stimulates the phosphorylation of serine residue(s) in the principal component of the preparation. The neurotubule...
