Odorant-sensitive adenylate cyclase: rapid, potent activation and desensitization in primary olfactory neuronal cultures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using primary olfactory neuronal cultures, we have demonstrated rapid, potent increases in cAMP levels and adenylate cyclase [AC; ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] activity in response to odorants. Isobutyl-methoxypyrazine is active at 1 nM. Odorant enhancement is dependent on Ca2+ concentration with maximal effects at 10-100 microM. Biphasic temporal and concentration-related effects occur with all odorants. All odorants examined elicit desensitization with AC responses abolished when odorants are reapplied immediately after removal. When reapplied 1 min after removal, odorants elicit an AC response greater than on first exposure, implying a cellular "memory" for odorants.

Calcium-sensitive particulate guanylyl cyclase as a modulator of cAMP in olfactory receptor neurons.
The second messengers cAMP and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate have been implicated in olfaction in various species. The odorant-induced cGMP response was investigated using cilia preparations and olfactory primary cultures. Odorants cause a delayed and sustained elevation of cGMP. A component of this cGMP response is attributable to the activation of one of two kinetically distinct cilial receptor...

Both the cAMP and the phosphoinositide (PI) second messenger systems have been implicated in olfactory signal transduction. We have developed a primary culture system of mammalian olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs; Ronnett et al., 1991a) to permit analysis of odorant-induced second messenger system activation in the intact ORN. The ability of a series of odorants to stimulate PI turnover and ade...

We investigated the role of amidated neuropeptides, and specifically pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), in olfactory neurogenesis and olfactory receptor neuronal survival. Using both immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, we find that both peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase (PAM), the enzyme responsible for amidation and therefore activation of all am...

Acute desensitization of olfactory signaling is a critical property of the olfactory system that allows animals to detect and respond to odorants. Correspondingly, an important feature of odorant-stimulated cAMP increases is their transient nature, a phenomenon that may be attributable to the unique regulatory properties of the olfactory adenylyl cyclase (AC3). AC3 is stimulated by receptor act...

Olfactory signal transduction is initiated by binding of odorous ligands to G proteincoupled odorant receptors, resulting in the activation of G protein and second messengers that culminates in the generation of action potentials to relay this signal to the brain for odor recognition. This signaling cascade comprises the primary olfactory response. Odorant receptors comprise the largest multige...
