Identification of new G?? interaction sites in adenylyl cyclase 2.


ABSTRACT: The role of G?? in adenylyl cyclase (AC) signaling is complicated due to its role as a conditional activator (AC2, AC4 and AC7) and an inhibitor (AC1, AC3 and AC8). AC2 is stimulated by G?(s) and if G?? is present the stimulation is synergistic. The precise mechanism of this synergistic activation is still not known. In order to further elucidate the role of G?? in AC2 activation by G?(s), peptides derived from the C1 domains of AC2 were synthesized and the ability of the various peptides to regulate AC2 function was tested. Our results identify two new G??-binding sites in the AC2 C1 domain, AC2 C1a 339-360 and AC2 C1b 578-602 that are involved with stimulation of AC2 by G??. These two regions are different from the previously described QEHA motif in the C2 domain of AC2. Further, the recently discovered PFAHL motif was confirmed to bind and to be involved with stimulation of AC2 by G??. These functional studies indicate that multiple regions of AC2 are involved in the interaction with G??.

The role of Gβγ in adenylyl cyclase (AC) signaling is complicated due to its role as a conditional activator (AC2, AC4 and AC7) and an inhibitor (AC1, AC3 and AC8). AC2 is stimulated by Gα(s) and if Gβγ is present the stimulation is synergistic. The precise mechanism of this synergistic activation is still not known. In order to further elucidate the role of Gβγ in AC2 activation by Gα(s), peptides derived from the C1 domains of AC2 were synthesized and the ability of the various peptides to reg  ...[more]
