Dynamic regulation of cAMP synthesis through anchored PKA-adenylyl cyclase V/VI complexes.

ABSTRACT: Spatiotemporal organization of cAMP signaling begins with the tight control of second messenger synthesis. In response to agonist stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors, membrane-associated adenylyl cyclases (ACs) generate cAMP that diffuses throughout the cell. The availability of cAMP activates various intracellular effectors, including protein kinase A (PKA). Specificity in PKA action is achieved by the localization of the enzyme near its substrates through association with A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). Here, we provide evidence for interactions between AKAP79/150 and ACV and ACVI. PKA anchoring facilitates the preferential phosphorylation of AC to inhibit cAMP synthesis. Real-time cellular imaging experiments show that PKA anchoring with the cAMP synthesis machinery ensures rapid termination of cAMP signaling upon activation of the kinase. This protein configuration permits the formation of a negative feedback loop that temporally regulates cAMP production.

Project description:BackgroundThe type VI adenylyl cyclase (AC6) is a main contributor of cAMP production in the heart. The amino acid (aa) sequence of AC6 is highly homologous to that of another major cardiac adenylyl cyclase, AC5, except for its N-terminus (AC6-N, aa 1-86). Activation of AC6, rather than AC5, produces cardioprotective effects against heart failure, while the underlying mechanism remains to be unveiled. Using an AC6-null (AC6-/-) mouse and a knockin mouse with AC6-N deletion (AC6 ?N/?N), we aimed to investigate the cardioprotective mechanism of AC6 in the heart.MethodsWestern blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining were performed to determine the intracellular distribution of AC6, AC6-?N (a truncated AC6 lacking the first 86 amino acids), and STAT3 activation. Activities of AC6 and AC6-?N in the heart were assessed by cAMP assay. Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes were evaluated by the TUNEL assay and a propidium iodine-based survival assay. Fibrosis was examined by collagen staining.ResultsImmunofluorescence staining revealed that cardiac AC6 was mainly anchored on the sarcolemmal membranes, while AC6-?N was redistributed to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. AC6?N/?N and AC6-/- mice had more apoptotic myocytes and cardiac remodeling than WT mice in experimental models of isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial injury. Adult cardiomyocytes isolated from AC6?N/?N or AC6-/- mice survived poorly after exposure to ISO, which produced no effect on WT cardiomyocytes under the condition tested. Importantly, ISO treatment induced cardiac STAT3 phosphorylation/activation in WT mice, but not in AC6?N/?N and AC6-/- mice. Pharmacological blockage of PKA-, Src-, or STAT3- pathway markedly reduced the survival of WT myocytes in the presence of ISO, but did not affect those of AC6?N/?N and AC6-/- myocytes, suggesting an important role of AC6 in mediating cardioprotective action through the activation of PKA-Src-STAT3-signaling.ConclusionsCollectively, AC6-N controls the anchorage of cardiac AC6 on the sarcolemmal membrane, which enables the coupling of AC6 with the pro-survival PKA-STAT3 pathway. Our findings may facilitate the development of novel therapies for heart failure.
