Inhibition of adenylate cyclase in rat brain synaptosomal membranes by GTP and phenylisopropyladenosine is enhanced in hypothyroidism.

چکیده
1. Synaptosomal membranes were isolated from rats made hypothyroid by treatment with propylthiouracil and a low iodine diet. 2. When assayed in the presence of 100 mM-Na+, inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase by GTP was enhanced in membranes from hypothyroid animals. 3. Hypothyroidism also enhanced inhibition of adenylate cyclase by phenylisopropyladenosine (with 100 mM-Na+ and 10 microM-GTP present). 4. Hypothyroidism did not increase binding of the A1 adenosine receptor agonist phenylisopropyladenosine to synaptosomal membranes; rather, the maximum binding was slightly decreased without any change in the KD. 5. The effect of GTP in modifying the displacement of the antagonist [3H]diethylphenylxanthine from synaptosomal membranes by unlabelled phenylisopropyladenosine was more pronounced in the hypothyroid state. 6. These findings are consistent with hypothyroidism causing modification of the brain adenylate cyclase system at the level of the coupling protein Gi.

Fat cell adenylate cyclase system. Enhanced inhibition by adenosine and GTP in the hypothyroid rat.
Hypothyroidism is associated with an enhanced sensitivity of rat fat cells to the inhibitory action of adenosine and adenosine agonists. The sensitivity of the forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP response of rat fat cells to the adenosine agonist N6-phenylisopropyladenosine is amplified 3-fold by hypothyroidism. Forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity is more sensitive to inhibition by this...
متن کاملInvolvement of the inhibitory GTP-binding regulatory protein and a low-affinity benzodiazepine receptor in the inhibitory effect of diazepam on rat brain adenylate cyclase system.
The effect of diazepam on the adenylate cyclase system was studied in rat synaptosomal membranes. Micromolar concentrations of diazepam inhibited the cyclase activities in the presence or absence of guanylyl-5'-imidodiphosphate (GppNHp). The inhibitory effect of diazepam was greater on the cyclase activity in the presence of GppNHp than on that in the basal state. This effect of diazepam was no...
متن کاملCholera toxin ADP-ribosylates the islet-activating protein substrate in adipocyte membranes and alters its function.
In adipocyte membranes, cholera toxin may ADP-ribosylate the islet-activating protein (IAP) substrate, under certain conditions. Covalent modification is maximal in the absence of a guanosine triphosphate; in the presence of 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate, incorporation of [32P]ADP-ribose is markedly reduced. ADP-ribosylation by cholera toxin has similar functional consequences as does IAP-mediate...

Adenosine, acting via AI adenosine receptors, can inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in adipocytes. To assess the effects of chronic adenosine agonist exposure on the AI adenosine receptor system of adipocytes, rats were infused with (-)-phenylisopropyladenosine or vehicle for 6 days and membranes were prepared. Basal as wel1,as isoproterenol-, sodium fluoride-, and forskolin-stimulated adenyla...
متن کاملIdentification of glucagon receptors in rat brain.
The binding of radiolabeled glucagon to rat brain membranes was investigated. Regional distribution studies indicate higher specific binding of 125I-labeled monoiodoglucagon to olfactory tubercule, hippocampus, anterior pituitary, and amygdala membranes, with somewhat lower binding to membranes from septum, medulla, thalamus, olfactory bulb, and hypothalamus. 125I-labeled glucagon bound to rat ...
