Several aspects of the cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate system of rat mammary glands were investigated including effects of stage of pregnancy and lactation upon tissue cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate amounts and adenyl cyclase, cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase, and protein kinase activities. Cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate decreased at early lactation, and this decrease coincided with an increase in phosphodiesterase activity. Adenyl cyclase activity remained unchanged from late pregnancy to end of lactation. At late pregnancy, activity of protein kinase was about the same as during lactation indicating that increase in protein kinase activities in the glands precedes increases in activities of other major enzymes and the increase in ribonucleic acids in late pregnancy or early lactation. Epinephrine, prolactin, growth hormone, thyroxine, and prostaglandine caused 60, 80, 140, 200, and 270% increases in adenyl cyclase activity in vitro.

Beef brain cortex adenylate cyclase (ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing) EC 4.6.1.1) activity is 84--88% inhibited by 5 - 10(-5) M ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid in the absence of F- but only 50--60% inhibited by 5 - 10(-5) M ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid in the presence of F-. In either case, further increase in EGTA concentration did not alter the degree of inhibition. The inhibition can be completely reversed in both cases by addition of 3 - 10(-5) M Ca2+, (yielding a [free Ca2+] of approximately 2 - 10(-6) M) and 5 - 10(-5) M Mn2+ or Co2+ and partially by 5 - 10(-5) M Sr2+ but not by addition of 5 - 10(-5) M Ba2+, Zn2+, Ni2+ or Fe2+. A [free Ca2+] of 7.2 - 10(-5) M markedly inhibited cyclase activity in the presence of F-. Solubilization by 1.8% Triton X-100 resulted in an enzyme preparation no longer stimulated by NaF and 100% inhibited by the addition of 5 - 10(-5) M ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid either in the absence or presence of NaF. However, in contrast to ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N'-TETRAACETIC ACID, EDTA had no measurable effect on adenylate cyclase either in the presence or absence of NaF and ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid did not affect ATPase or phosphodiesterase activities. The data is rationalized by the postulation of two independent enzyme components in brain cortex: one component is about six-fold activated by NaF and the NaF effect is enhanced by low concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+. A second component is totally Ca2+ dependent and inhibited by high concentrations of F-. Mn2+, Co2+ and Sr2+ appear to be in vitro Ca2+ substitutes for both enzyme systems. On this basis, Triton X-100 treatment results in about a three-fold increase in specific activity of the Ca2+ dependent cyclase component but a complete abolition of the NaF stimulated component.

A factor [the feedback regulator (FR)] formed by adipocytes after the stimulation of a cAMP raising hormone has been found to be a potent inhibitor of membrane-bound adenylate cyclase [EC 4.6.1.1.; ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing)]. In a standard assay system using rat adipocyte plasma membrane as the source of adenylate cyclase, the FR inhibited adenylate cyclase by lowering the Vmax without affecting the apparent Km for ATP (0.3-0.6 mM). The apparent Ka for epinephrine (5-6 muM) was also not affected by FR. The inhibitory action of FR was partially countered by Mg2+ ions. An increase in phosphorylation of plasma membrane was observed when FR was present in the incubation system. The concentration required for a 50% inhibition was four times higher when adenosine 5-(beta,gamma-imino) triphosphate [AMP-P(NH)P] replaced ATP as the substrate for adenylate cyclase, implying that adenylate cyclase was inactivated by phosphorylation caused by FR. Increase in FR inhibition obtained by adding low concentrations of adenosine 5-(alpha,beta-methylene) triphosphate or ATP to AMP-(NH)P as the substrate supports this view. The inhibitory action was reversible. These results are consistent with the previously reported phenomena that (1) the undue to the formation of FR, and (2) the recovery of responsiveness of the stimulated cells by washing the cells with regular buffer medium is a result of the removal of FR. The hormone-initiated biphasic curve of cAMP levels in adipocytes is believed to be due to the negative feedback action of FR on adenylate cyclase. The mechanism of action of FR on inhibition of adenylate cyclase appears to be related to the phosphorylation of certain membrane components.

The relationships between hormonal action and cyclic AMP as the second messenger of hormones have recently been discussed on many hormones. Lactation is influenced by various hormone, especially, insulin, prolactin, and hydrocortisone. Whether adenyl cyclase activity in the mammary gland of mouse epithelial cells has parallel relations with casein biosynthesis ability or not was examined using the mammary gland organ culture method. Female, mid-pregnant (11-14 days), mice of DDY strain were used. Organ culture was done by the Chen's floating lens' paper method, using the hormone-added MEM media and non-added ones. Casein biosynthesis ability was measured by observing 32P incorporation into the casein molecules. Adenyl cyclase activity was estimated by the amount of 14-C-cyclic AMP produced out of adenine-8-14C by the Kuo and Krishna's method. Radio isotope compounds were pulsed for 4 hours in the medium. The experiments revealed that the added hormones had a remarkable effect on caein biosynthesis ability, but none on adenyl cyclase activity. No parallel fluctuation was observed between adenyl cyclase activity and casein biosynthesis ability, that is, the change of adenyl cyclase activity was found to have nothing to do with casein biosynthesis ability. Consequently, the cyclic AMP addition to the media showed no effect on casein biosynthesis ability.

Adenyl cyclase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities were assayed in homogenates of hind leg skeletal muscle from dystrophic and normal mice. Adenyl cyclase activity was stimulated 2.5 times by epinephrine and 6 times by fluoride over the basal activity in both dystrophic and normal mice. The activity of adenyl cyclase from dystrophic muscle of mice was significantly higher than that of normal mice under all the conditions tested (i.e. basal, epinephrine and fluoride). Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase from skeletal muscle of mice has two Km's (2.1 and 11 mumol/l) which suggests the existence of either two forms of enzyme or a single enzyme with negative cooperativity. The activity of this enzyme was significantly elevated in the skeletal muscle of dystrophic mice compared to the normal controls. The available evidence suggests that the same cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase is responsible for the hydrolysis of both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP.

We have obtained direct evidence that shows the cellular formation and subsequent release of a potent inhibitor (feedback regulator) of adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] by adipocytes, upon stimulation with epinephrine. The appearance of such a feedback regulator in adipocytes preceded its release into the medium. During a 30 min incubation, intracellular regulator levels rose rapidly and reached 39-61 units/g of adipocyte at 10 min. Release of inhibitor into the medium increased slowly and was 11-16 units/g of adipocyte at 10 min. Upon continued incubation, the cells at 30 min contained 30-41 units/g of ingibitor, slightly less than the content at 30 min; meanwhile, the medium content rose more than 3-fold. The inhibitor from both locations appeared to have the same characteristics, judging from the purification procedures and the biological activities on hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase. Adenylate cyclase was inhibited by the feedback regulator in vitro when either epinephrine, corticotropin (ACTH), or glucagon was used as activator. The site of action of this inhibitor is therefore most likely beyond the specific hormone receptors. A new in vitro action of insulin has been found. Insulin, 50-500 microunits/ml, inhibited the formation and release of this factor from isolated rat or hamster adipocytes by 29-81% after these cells were stimulated by hormones that raise intracellular adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate. This factor enhaced the effect of insulin in lowering the adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate levels in fresh rat adipocytes. A reduced formation of such a factor may modify the metabolic events in adipocytes, and some as yet unexplained effects of insulin could therefore be linked to the metabolic effects of this factor.

Adenyl cyclase activity of rat pancreatic islet membrane was increased by secretin, pancreozymin, and isoproterenol, while ACTH, glucagon, growth hormone, and insulin had no effect. Both secretin and isoproterenol activations were enhanced by prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and GTP. Isoproterenol activation was additive with PGE1, as was that of secretin with PGE1, but only in the presence of GTP. Secretin activation in the presence of PGE1 and GTP was equivalent to NaF stimulation. Kinetic analysis indicated that secretin and GTP increased the maximum velocity of the adenyl cyclase and tended to decrease the apparent affinity of the enzyme for ATP. Glucagon activation of islet membrane adenyl cyclase was dependent upon prior treatment of the membrane preparation with EGTA and the use of inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes during the collagenase digestion phase of islet preparation. These results suggest that hormonal regulation of insulin secretion may be affected by PGE1 and guanine nucleotide modulation of the adenyl cyclase activation process.

Adenyl cyclase activity in isolated mouse liver cell membranes was stimulated two-fold by endotoxin. Furthermore, endotoxin inhibited epinephrine induction of adenyl cyclase activity, apparently through interruption of the phospholipid moiety of the enzyme complex.

The presence of adenylate cyclase (ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing) EC 4.6.1.1) activity was demonstrated in human erythrocyte ghosts and was found to be around 3 pmol adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) - 2 h-1 - mg-1 protein. This enzymatic activity is strongly stimulated by NaF and 5'-guanylimidodiphosphate, is slightly stimulated by epinephrine, norepinephrine, isoproterenol, and prostaglandin E1 and is inhibited by calcium. The hormone stimulation is not potentiated by 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate.

Adenyl cyclase was assayed in a series of plasma membrane fractions prepared from bovine thyroids using sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. The activity of adenyl cyclase in the plasma membranes was found to be stimulated several-fold by antisera raised in rabbits against the plasma membranes and by purified IgG prepared from these antisera. The data indicate that the antibodies to thyroid plasma membrane manifest properties similar to those of the immunoglobulins long-acting thyroid stimulator (LATS) and human specific thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (HTSI) found in patients with Graves' disease. It is suggested that, in these patients, the antigen which leads to the production of LATS and HTSI is most likely situated in the thyroid plasma membrane.
