1. Renal tubular membranes from rat kidneys were prepared, and adenylate cyclase activity was measured under basal conditions, after stimulation by NaF or salmon calcitonin. Apparent Km value of the enzyme for hormone-linked receptor was close to 1 x 10(-8) M. 2. The system was sensitive to temperature and pH. pH was found to act both on affinity for salmon calcitonin-linked receptor and maximum stimulation, suggesting an effect of pH on hormone-receptor binding and on a subsequent step. 3. KCl was without effect areas whereas CoCl and CaCl2 above 100 muM and MnCl2 above 1 muM inhibited F- -and salmon calcitonin-sensitive adenylate cyclase activities. The Ca2+ inhibition of the response reflected a fall in maximum stimulation and not a loss of affinity of salmon calcitonin-linked receptor for the enzyme. 4. The measurement of salmon calcitonin-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity as a function of ATP concentration showed that the hormone increases the maximum velocity of the adenylate cyclase. GTP, ITP and XTP at 200 muM did not modify basal, salmon calcitonin- and parathyroid hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase activities. 5. Basal, salmon calcitonin- and F- -sensitive adenylate cyclase activities decreased at Mg2+ concentrations below 10 mM. High concentrations of Mg2+ (100 mM) led to an inhibition of the F- -stimulated enzyme. 6. Salmon calcitonin-linked receptor had a greater affinity for adenylate cyclase than human or porcine calcitonin-linked receptors. There was no additive effect of these three calcitonin peptides whereas parathyroid hormone added to salmon calcitonin increased adenylate cyclase activity, thus showing that both hormones bound to different membrane receptors. Human calcitonin fragments had no effect on adenylate cyclase activity. 7. Salmon calcitonin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity decreased with the preincubation time. This was due to progressive degradation of the hormone and not to the rate of binding to membrane receptors.

The preparation of a partially purified plasma membrane fraction from bovine adrenal cortex is described. Adenylate cyclase in this particulate preparation retained high sensitivity to ACTH and is also stimulated by 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p]. GTP, in contrast to Gpp(NH)p, had very little intrinsic activity to stimulate activity to stimulate adenylate cyclase. GTP could however, with high affinity, inhibit the Gpp(NH)p effects on adenylate cyclase. When the concentration of creatine phosphate, a component of the ATP-regenerating system in the adenylate cyclase assay mixture, was lowered from 20 to 2 mM (at 0.1 mM ATP, 5 MM MG2+) GTP, dGTP and other nucleotides like ITP and much less UTP or CTP gained considerable intrinsic activity in the presence of ACTH to stimulate adenylate cyclase. The apparent affinities of the nucleotides for ACTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase from bovine adrenal cortex (at 2 mM creatine phosphate) were, GTP = dGTP greater than Gpp(NH)p greater than Gpp(CH2)p (5'-guanylyl-beta, gamma-methylene-diphosphonate) greater than ITP greater than UTP greater than CTP. These findings indicate that regulatory nucleotide binding sites exist for bovine adrenal cortex adenylate cyclase. Their specificity is similar to the nucleotide sites modulating angiotensin binding in bovine adrenal cortex plasma membranes (Glossmann et al., 1974a). The regulatory nucleotide binding sites for the adrenal cortex adenylate cyclase complex can also be identified under conditions where only Gpp(NH)p has high intrinsic activity (e.g. at 20 mM creatine phosphate) but other nucleotides like GTP act as antagonists. Both stimulants, ACTH and Gpp(NH)p, appear to remain firmly bound to the particulate membrane preparation, as suggested by preincubation experiments.

Choleragen stimulates steroid secretion and adenylate cyclase in three cell lines, adrenal tumor line (Y-1), a corticotropin-resistant mutant derived from Y-1 called OS-3, and a receptor-deficient Leydig tumor line (I-10). Sensitivity for half-maximal stimulation varies from 3 to 36 pM choleragen, the I-10 line being the most sensitive. Latency before the onset of steroidogenesis is longer in OS-3 and I-10 cells than in the Y-1 line. In both OS-3 and I-10 cells choleragen stimulates adenylate cyclase whether ITP or 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate is the regulatory cofactor used. In addition to the responses of the receptor-deficient lines, choleragen does not, during its latency, block the response to corticotropin in Y-1 cells; corticotropin does not block binding of 125I-labeled choleragen to Y-1 cells; gangliosides do not interfere with the corticotropin-induced stimulation of Y-1 cells. We conclude that the corticotropin and choleragen receptors are different.

Determination of specific GTPase (EC 3.6.1.--) activity in turkey erythrocyte membranes was achieved using low concentration of GTP (0.25 muM), inhibition of nonspecific nucleoside triphosphatases by adenosine 5'(beta,gamma-imino-triphosphate (App(NH)p) and suppression of the transfer of gamma-32P from GTP to ADP with an ATP regeneration system. Under these conditions catacholamines caused a 30--70% increase in GTP hydrolysis. The stimulation of GTPase activity by catecholamines required the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+. DIfferent batches of membranes revealed the following specific activities (pmol 32Pi/mg protein min): basal GTPase (determined in the absence of catecholamine), 6-- 11; catecholamine-stimulated TTPase, 3--7; and residual non-specific NTPase 3--5. The stimulation of GTPase activity by catecholamines fulfilled the stereospecific requirements of the beta-adrenergic receptor, and was inhibited by propranolol. The concentrations of DL-isoproterenol which half-maximally activated the GTPase and adenylate cyclase were 1 and 1.2 muM, respectively. The following findings indicate that the catecholamine-stimulated GTPase is independent of the catalytic production of cyclic AMP by the adenylate cyclase. Addition of cyclic AMP to the GTPase assay did not change the rate of GTP hydrolysis. Furthermore, treatment of the membrane with N-ethylmaleimide (MalNEt) at 0 degrees C which caused 98% inhibition of the adenylate cyclase, had no effect on the catecholamine-stimulated GTPase. The affinity and specificity for GTP in the GTPase reactions are similar to those previously reported for the stimulation of the adenylate cyclase. The apparent Km for GTP in the basal and the catecholamine-stimulated GTPase reaction was 0.1 muM. These GTPase activities were inhibited by ITP but not by CTP and UTP. It is proposed that a catecholamine-stimulated GTPase is a component of the turkey erythrocyte adenylate cyclase system.

Steroidogenesis by Y-1 adrenal tumor cells in culture is stimulated by ATP, adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (App(NH)), adenosine 5'(beta, alpha-methylene)triphosphate (App(CH2)p), ADP, AMP, NAD, FAD, and adenosine but not by adenine or other nucleoside triphosphates. ATP, App(NH)p, App(CH2)p, and adenosine are active in the micromolar range. Like adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), the onset of stimulation is immediate and occurs to the same extent. Also active are 2'- and 5'-deoxyadenosine and 2-chloroadenosine whereas adenine xyloside, L-riboside, or arabinoside have very low activity. Stimulation is accompanied by rounding of the cells. Dipyridamole, an inhibitor of adenosine transport, increased the response to low concentrations of adenosine, suggesting that adenosine acts externally. Stimulation of steroidogenesis by adenosine or phosphorylated adenosine compounds fails to occur in the presence of crystalline adenosine deaminase, and the effect of the enzyme on adenosine, ATP, or NAD stimulation is reversed by the competitive inhibitor erythro-9-[3-(nonane-2-ol)]adenine. This suggests that the enzyme acts specifically on adenosine and a requirement for the conversion of the above compounds to adenosine seems probable. The inhibition of cAMP effects by adenosine deaminase suggests that some of its effects are also mediated by conversion to adenosine. Similar stimulation is seen in I-10 Leydig tumor cells, but an ACTH-resistant mutant of Y-1 cells, called OS-3, is relatively resistant to adenosine. Adenosine and 2-chloroadenosine stimulate adenylate cyclase in membranes from Y-1 and I-10 cells at concentrations slightly greater than are effective for steroidogenesis. Other nucleosides are ineffective. Like the NH2-terminal 24 residues of adrenocorticotropic hormone (1-24 ACTH), the adenosine effect in Y-1 membranes is rapid and is on the Vmax intercept (versus ATP) and not on the Km. In contrast to steroidogenesis, adenosine is only a partial agonist for adenylate cyclase. It effect occurs in the presence of ITP, GTP, or guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p). Theophylline inhibits adenosine-stimulated steroidogenesis. Inhibition of adenylate cyclase occurs in the same concentration range but is of the mixed type.

Inhibition of the adenylate cyclase activity in homogenates of mouse neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cells (NG108-15) by the opioid peptide [D-Ala2,Met5]enkephalin amide (AMEA) requires the presence of Na+ and GTP. In this process, the selectivity for monovalent cations is Na+ greater than or equal Li+ greater than K+ greater than choline+; ITP will replace GTP but ATP, UTP, or CTP will not. The apparent Km for Na+ is 20 mM and for GTP it is 1 microM. Under saturating Na+ and GTP conditions, the apparent Ki for AMEA-directed inhibition is 20 nM for basal and 100 nM for prostaglandin E1-activated adenylate cyclase activity. For both cyclase activities, maximal inhibition is only partial (i.e., approximately 55% of control in each case). In intact viable NG108-15 cells, the decrease in basal and prostaglandin E1-stimulated intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations by AMEA is also dependent upon extracellular Na+. The enkephalin-directed reductions in cyclic AMP concentrations are at least 75%. The specificity of the monovalent cation requirement for enkephalin action on intact cells is the same as for enkephalin regulation of homogenate adenylate cyclase activity. Based on these data, a model is presented in which the transfer of information from opiate receptors to adenylate cyclase requires active separate membrane components, which correspond to the sites of action of Na+ and GTP in this process.

Enzymes in particulate fractions from sea urchin sperm and in soluble fractions from rat lung were shown to catalyze the formation of inosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic IMP) and of 2'-deoxyguanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic dGMP) from ITP and dGTP, respectively. With sea urchin sperm particulate fractions, Mn2+ was an essential metal cofactor for inosinate, deoxyguanylate, guanylate and adenylate cyclase activities. Heat-inactivation studies differentiated inosinate and deoxyguanylate cyclase activities from adenylate cyclase, but indicated an association of these activities with guanylate cyclase. Preincubation of sea urchin sperm particulate fractions with trypsin altered in a very similar manner guanylate, inosinate, and deoxyguanylate cyclase activities, and various metals and metal-nucleotide combinations protected the three cyclase activities to comparable degrees against trypsin. The relative guanylate, deoxyguanylate and inosinate cyclase activities at 0.1 mM nucleoside triphosphate were 1.0, 0.5 and 0.08, respectively. With these three cyclase activities, plots of reciprocal velocities against reciprocal Mn2+-nucleoside triphosphate concentrations were concave upward, suggesting positive homotropic effects. With rat lung soluble preparations, relative guanylate, deoxyguanylate, inosinate and adenylate cyclase activities at 0.09 mM nucleoside triphosphate were 1.0, 1.7, 0.1 and 0, respectively. MnGTP was a competitive inhibitor of deoxyguanylate cyclase activity (Ki equals 12.2 muM) and MndGTP was a competitive inhibitor of guanylate cyclase activity (Ki equals 16.2 muM). Inhibition studies using ITP were not conducted. When soluble fractions from rat lung were applied to Bio-Gel A 1.5 m columns, elution profiles of guanylate, deoxyguanylate and inosinate cyclase activities were similar. These results suggest that deoxyguanylate, guanylate and inosinate cyclase activities reside within the same protein molecule.

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.

1. The activation of rat pancreatic adenylate cyclase by guanosine 5'-(beta-gamma-imido)triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) and GTP, and by the two gastrointestinal hormones pancreozymin (as C-terminal octapeptide) and secretin was correlated with the binding of [8-3H]guanosine 5'-(beta-gamma-imido)triphosphate to rat pancreatic plasma membranes. 2. The low basal adenylate cyclase activity was stimulated 17-fold by p[NH]ppG (after a 2 min lag period), 3,5-fold only by GTP, 21-fold by C-terminal octapeptide of pancreozymin, and 8-fold by secretin. GTP inhibited competitively the activation of adenylate cyclase by p[NH]ppG with a Ki,app almost identical with the Ka,app (0.3 micron). p[NH]ppG and GTP enhanced the stimulation by secretin more markedly than that by the C-terminal octapeptide of pancreozymin, leading to the same maximal activity. Both hormones suppressed the lag period of activation by p[NH]ppG. 3. The binding of [8-3H]p[NH]ppG was dependent on time, temperature and Mg2+ and it was also a saturable and reversible process. Scatchard plots with a concavity upward were linearized after co-addition of ATP, Mg2+ and an ATP-regenerating system that abolished low-affinity sites for p[NH]ppG without saturating higher affinity sites, GTP, ITP and UTP inhibited [8-3H]p[NH]ppG binding to the high-affinity sites in concentration ranges identical with those found for adenylate cyclase activation. Considerable binding of [8-3H]p[NH]ppG was still evident at 20 degrees C, but enzyme activation was not observed any more, except in the presence of hormones.

The activation of adenylate cyclase by NaF was dependent on the previous incubation time and the concentration of F-. The activation by F- was irreversible and Mg2+ was required for the maximum effect. Turbidity of microsome suspension was also greatly increased by F- plus Mg2+. These effects on adenylate cyclase and membrane turbidity were specific for F- and F- saturation curves for both were similar, though Mg2+-saturation curves for both were dissimilar. The increase in turbidity induced by F- plus Mg2+ was rapidly reversed by ATP, GTP, ITP, UTP and CTP. However, ITP only, among all the triphospho-nucleotides tested, reversed the activity of adenylate cyclase previously activated by NaF plus MgC12. The activity of the enzyme reversed by ITP was not, however, re-enhanced by the presence of NaF in the assay medium. These results suggest the possiblity that F- induces a change in the membrane structure itself, and this change can be reversed by incubation with ITP. Consequently, adenylate cyclase may be conformed either to an activated or an unactivated state.
