The role of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein in the activation of rat liver plasma-membrane adenylate cyclase by forskolin.

ABSTRACT: The effects of the photoreactive GTP analogue GTP-gamma-azidoanilide on rat liver plasma-membrane adenylate cyclase are described. U.v. irradiation in the presence of the analogue abolished activation by any effector or combination of effectors that function via the activatory G protein. Partial protection against this inhibition was given by F- and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate. It is concluded that GTP-gamma-azidoanilide acts by a light-induced covalent reaction with the G protein. In the dark the effects of the analogue were similar to those of GTP. Irradiation in the presence of GTP-gamma-azidoanilide was found to reduce but not to abolish activation of rat liver plasma membrane adenylate cyclase by forskolin. The activation by forskolin and GTP together were greater than the sum of the individual activations. Forskolin doubled adenylate cyclase activity in the presence of glucagon and guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate, which might be expected to activate to the maximum possible extent via the G protein. It is concluded that there are two components to the forskolin activation, a guanine nucleotide-dependent and a guanine nucleotide-independent component.

Regulation of type V adenylate cyclase by Ric8a, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor.

Project description:In the present study, we demonstrate that AC5 (type V adenylate cyclase) interacts with Ric8a through directly interacting at its N-terminus. Ric8a was shown to be a GEF (guanine nucleotide exchange factor) for several alpha subunits of heterotrimeric GTP binding proteins (Galpha proteins) in vitro. Selective Galpha targets of Ric8a have not yet been revealed in vivo. An interaction between AC5 and Ric8a was verified by pull-down assays, co-immunoprecipitation analyses, and co-localization in the brain. Expression of Ric8a selectively suppressed AC5 activity. Treating cells with pertussis toxin or expressing a dominant negative Galphai mutant abolished the suppressive effect of Ric8a, suggesting that interaction between the N-terminus of AC5 and a GEF (Ric8a) provides a novel pathway to fine-tune AC5 activity via a Galphai-mediated pathway.

Specificity for guanine nucleotide activation and stabilization of rabbit cardiac adenylate cyclase.

Project description:These studies examined the structural specificity for guanine nucleotide-facilitated hormonal activation and guanine nucleotide stabilization of cardiac adenylate cyclase. 1. The phosphonate analogues of GTP, p[CH(2)]ppG (guanosine 5'-[betagamma-methylene]-triphosphate) and pp[CH(2)]pG (guanosine 5'-[alphabeta-methylene]triphosphate), were the most effective activators of adenylate cyclase. Other nucleotides producing significant activation (P<0.01) were, in decreasing order of activation: ITP, GDP, GMP, GTP, XTP, CTP, p[NH]ppG (guanosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate), dGTP and 2'-O-methyl-GTP. Guanosine, cyclic GMP, UTP and ppppG (guanosine tetraphosphate) had no effect, and 7-methyl-GTP caused a decrease in the activity. 2. Preincubation of membranes at 37 degrees C for 15min before assay at 24 degrees C produced an 80% decrease in adenylate cyclase activity, and preincubation with p[CH(2)]ppG and pp[CH(2)]pG protected and resulted in a net increase in activity. Other nucleotides that completely or partially preserved activity in decreasing order of effectiveness were p[NH]ppG, GDP, GTP, dGTP, ITP, ppppG, 2'-O-methyl-GTP, GMP, CTP and XTP. Several compounds had no effect, including guanosine, cyclic GMP and UTP, whereas preincubation with 7-methyl-GTP produced a further decrease (P<0.05) in activity. 3. The concentration-dependence for activation and stabilization by the naturally occurring guanine nucleotides was examined in the absence of a regenerating system and revealed GMP to have no stabilizing effect and to be less potent than either GDP or GTP in activating adenylate cyclase. 4. A significant correlation (r=0.90) was found between the properties of activation and stabilization for the compounds examined. These findings are consistent with there being a single nucleotide site through which both the activation and stabilization of adenylate cyclase are mediated.

The interactions between the activatory guanine nucleotide binding protein and the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase in rat liver plasma membranes.

Project description:Three GTP-binding proteins of 50 kDa, 45 kDa and 28 kDa were identified by photoaffinity labelling with [gamma-32P]GTP-gamma-azidoanilide (A-GTP) in the rat liver plasma membrane. Pertussis toxin catalysed ADP-ribosylation of a single protein of 40 kDa. A-GTP had no effect on the basal labeling by pertussis toxin. After u.v. irradiation of the membrane in the presence of A-GTP, the GTP-dependent ADP-ribosylation by cholera toxin was increased, while the basal labelling was not affected. These results suggest that A-GTP interacts specifically with the activatory GTP-binding protein (Gs) and does not interact with the inhibitory GTP-binding protein (Gi). The effects of partial photoinactivation of Gs of the rat liver plasma membrane adenylate cyclase system by A-GTP were studied. U.v. irradiation in the presence of increasing concentrations of the analogue caused progressive decrease in the maximal extent of activation by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, but the Ka was not affected. The rate of activation of liver adenylate cyclase by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate is temperature-dependent. The lag time increased from 0.5 min at 30 degrees C to 2.0-2.5 min at 15 degrees C in the presence of 10 microM-guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate. However, Ka remains unaffected by lowering the temperature. Photoinactivation by A-GTP or competitive inhibition by guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate decreases the maximal extent of activation by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio] triphosphate, but the lag time remains unaffected. The present results support the idea that Gs is tightly associated with the catalytic subunit under basal conditions. The present results also indicate that the transition of an inactive Gs to its active form is the rate-limiting step of the activation of adenylate cyclase by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate in the intact rat liver plasma membranes.

Monoclonal antibodies to the guanine-nucleotide binding proteins of adenylate cyclase.

Project description:Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to the stimulatory (Ns) and inhibitory (Ni) guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins associated with adenylate cyclase have been developed. Two Mabs (2A3 and 5G12), which are of the IgG2b subclass, recognize the beta-subunits (beta) of Ns, Ni and transducin. Iodinated beta can be immunoprecipitated by either Mab coupled to Affi-Gel 10 and this can be decreased by prior incubation of the Mabs with excess unlabelled beta. The Mabs stabilize the activated state of Ns while decreasing the rate of deactivation of activated Ns in the presence of beta.

Guanine nucleotide-independent inhibition of adenylate cyclase by a stimulatory hormone.

Project description:Stimulation of basal adenylate cyclase activity in membranes of neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells by prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) is half-maximal and maximal (about 8-fold) at 0.1 and 10 microM respectively. This hormonal effect requires GTP, being maximally effective at 10 microM. However, at the same concentrations that stimulate adenylate cyclase in the presence of GTP, PGE1 inhibited basal adenylate cyclase activity when studied in the absence of GTP, by maximally 60%. A similar dual action of PGE1 was observed with the forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase, although the potency of PGE1 in both stimulating and inhibiting adenylate cyclase was increased and the extent of stimulation and inhibition of the enzyme by PGE1 was decreased by the presence of forskolin. The inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase by PGE1 occurred without apparent lag phase and was reversed by GTP and its analogue guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate at low concentrations. Treatment of neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells or membranes with agents known to eliminate the function of the inhibitory GTP-binding protein were without effect on PGE1-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The data suggest that stimulatory hormone agonist, apparently by activating one receptor type, can cause both stimulation and inhibition of adenylate cyclase, and that the final result depends only on the activity state of the stimulatory GTP-binding protein, Gs. Possible mechanisms responsible for the observed adenylate cyclase inhibition by the stimulatory hormone PGE1 are discussed.

Forskolin refractoriness. Exposure to the diterpene alters guanine nucleotide-dependent adenylate cyclase and calcium-uptake activity of cells cultured from the rat aorta.

Project description:Cells with the morphological properties of endothelial cells were cultured from the rat aorta. The cultured cells accumulated 45Ca2+ from the medium in a manner which was stimulated by forskolin and by 8-bromo-cyclic AMP. Pretreating the cultures for 20 h with forskolin diminished forskolin-dependent Ca2+-uptake activity. Adenylate cyclase activity of cultured cell homogenates was stimulated by guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) and forskolin, and by isoprenaline in the presence, but not in the absence, of guanine nucleotide. p[NH]ppG increased forskolin sensitivity and caused a leftward shift in the forskolin dose-response curve. Pretreating the cultured cells with forskolin for 20 h, conditions that decreased forskolin-dependent Ca2+ uptake, increased basal and guanine nucleotide-dependent adenylate cyclase activity, but not forskolin-dependent activity determined in the absence of p[NH]ppG. Forskolin pretreatment diminished p[NH]ppG's capacity to increase forskolin sensitivity, but did not have a significant effect on either the sensitivity of adenylate cyclase to p[NH]ppG or its responsiveness to isoprenaline. These results suggest that the Ca2+-uptake mechanism is cyclic AMP-dependent and that guanine nucleotides mediated forskolin-dependent cyclic AMP production by the intact cells. In addition, there may be different guanine nucleotide requirements for hormone-receptor coupling and forskolin activation.

Diet fat influences liver plasma-membrane lipid composition and glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity.

Project description:Rats were fed diets that differed in fatty acid composition or in the proportion of energy derived from fat to determine if alteration of dietary fat intake influences the structural lipid composition of liver plasma membrane and the expression of an associated hormone-receptor-mediated function. Weanling rats were fed 9% (w/w) or 20% (w/w) low-erucic acid rape-seed oil or 9% (w/w) soya-bean oil for 24 days. Plasma membranes were isolated and the effect of diet fat on the fatty acid composition of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol and sphingomyelin was determined. Diet fat significantly altered total saturated and (omega-9) and (omega-6)-unsaturated fatty acid composition in addition to the (omega-6)- to (omega-3)-unsaturated fatty acid ratio in these polar lipids. Feeding the high-fat diet increased the (omega-6)- to (omega-3)-unsaturated fatty acid ratio and the (omega-9)-unsaturated fatty acid content in all lipids except sphingomyelin. Assay of glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity at both high and low glucagon concentrations indicated that high-fat intake also decreased cyclic AMP formation. In a second experiment the fat intake was held constant (40% of energy) and oleic acid was substituted for linoleic acid by blending high- and low-linoleic acid-type safflower oils. This experiment established that a dose-response relationship exists between dietary intake of fatty acid and the fatty acid composition of plasma-membrane phospholipids. Specific diet-induced transitions in membrane phospholipid fatty acid composition were paralleled by changes in glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. This study suggests that transitions in dietary fat intake can alter a hormone-receptor-mediated enzyme function in vivo by changing the surrounding lipid environment.

Restoration of guanine nucleotide- and fluoride-stimulated activity to an adenylate cyclase-deficient cell line with affinity-purified guanine nucleotide regulatory protein.

Project description:A guanine nucleotide-binding protein purified from turkey erythrocytes by affinity chromatography confers both F-- and guanine nucleotide-stimulation of adenylate cyclase to membranes from CYC- cells, a mutant cell line deficient in these responses. Interaction of turkey erythrocyte membranes with beta-adrenergic agonists before affinity chromatography, which is essential for binding of the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein to the affinity matrix, was also required for recovery of F--stimulation restoring activity in the affinity eluate.

Adenylate cyclase is inhibited upon depletion of plasma-membrane cholesterol.

Project description:A procedure has been developed that allows for the depletion of rat liver plasma membrane cholesterol by incubation with liposomes at 4 degrees C. Upon cholesterol depletion, adenylate cyclase activity was inhibited and the membranes became more rigid, as determined by the flexibility of an incorporated fatty acid spin probe. Decreasing the cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio elicited a pronounced drop in the net fold-stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity by glucagon. Two lipid phase separations were detected in cholesterol-depleted membranes at around 25 degrees C and 13 degrees C respectively. Breaks at these temperatures were observed in Arrhenius plots of both the mobility of the spin probe and the glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity for the range 2-40 degrees C, but only the one at the lower temperature for the fluoride-stimulated activity. It is proposed that the lipid phase separation occurring at 25 degrees C is localized in the external half of the bilayer, whereas that at 13 degrees C is due to lipids in the inner half of the bilayer. Similar structural and functional perturbations were manifest if the cholesterol-complexing polyene antibiotic amphotericin B was added to native membranes. The mechanism of adenylate cyclase inhibition achieved by cholesterol depletion and the domain structure of the plasma membrane in relation to cholesterol distribution are discussed. Native cholesterol/phospholipid ratios appear to optimize the functioning of adenylate cyclase in liver plasma membranes.
