Immunological distinction between calmodulin-sensitive and calmodulin-insensitive adenylate cyclases.
Previous studies using calmodulin-Sepharose affinity chromatography have suggested that bovine brain may contain a mixture of calmodulin-sensitive and -insensitive adenylate cyclase activities (Wescott, K. R., La Porte, D. C., and Storm, D. R. (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 82, 3086-3090). In this study, mice were immunized with a purified preparation of the calmodulin-sensitive adenylate...
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...
متن کاملInteractions between Autophagy and Bacterial Toxins: Targets for Therapy?
Autophagy is a physiological process involved in defense mechanisms for clearing intracellular bacteria. The autophagic pathway is finely regulated and bacterial toxins interact with this process in a complex manner. Bacterial toxins also interact significantly with many biochemical processes. Evaluations of the effects of bacterial toxins, such as endotoxins, pore-forming toxins and adenylate ...
متن کاملMolecular and cellular requirements for the regulation of adenylate cyclases by calcium.
Calcium-sensitive adenylate cyclases provide a key regulatory device for integrating the activities of the two major signalling systems, Ca(2+) and cAMP. Recent experiments have brought us closer to understanding the molecular mechanisms whereby Ca(2+) either stimulates or inhibits susceptible adenylate cyclases in vitro. However, in the intact cell an additional layer of sophistication is evid...
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...
