Two types of plasma membrane were purified from canine distal renal medulla by the techniques of differential and zonal density-gradient centrifugation followed by free-flow electrophoresis. One group of plasma membranes was identified as basal-laterally derived based on a 30-fold enrichment of Na-K-ATPase, a 20-fold enrichment of vasopressin-stimulated adenylate cyclase, and a 33-fold enrichment of [3H]vasopressin binding sites. The second type of plasma membrane was free of these markers, but had a cholesterol and phospholipid composition similar to them. Alkaline phosphatase also had a similar distribution in the two fractions. This lighter membrane fraction contained a membrane-bound cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase as well as substrate for this kinase. In addition there was a 26-fold enrichment of specific activity of an anion (SO32-)-activated ATPase which was insensitive to mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor protein, in contrast to the mitochondrial fraction of the tissue. Based on the relative preponderance of collecting duct tissue in the distal medulla and the yield of membrane protein, these membranes are tentatively identified as containing apical membranes of the collecting duct.

We have found evidence that transcription of the galactokinase (ATP:D-galactose 1-phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.1.6) gene is inhibited, in the animal-like protozoan Tetrahymena, by dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate, glucose, and epinephrine. The specific activities of galactokinase in Tetrahymena cells grown in defined media with galactose or glycerol as the principal carbon source are equivalent; the specific activity in glucose minimal medium is [unk] the value. Thus, while there seems to be no specific induction of the enzyme by the substrate, galactose, there is a strong "repression" by glucose. This repression by glucose is mimicked, in glycerol-grown cells, by the addition of millimolar amounts of dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate or phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as caffeine and theophylline. When glucose-grown cells are washed and resuspended in carbohydrate-free medium, the galactokinase specific activity increases by as much as 10-fold within 12 hr. This increase is blocked by dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate and by epinephrine (synthesized by Tetrahymena, and previously shown to activate a membrane-bound adenylate cyclase in extracts of this organism), as well as by inhibitors of mRNA synthesis, maturation, and translation. Our results suggest that glucose and epinephrine can regulate transcription of the galactokinase gene by modulation of cyclic nucleotide levels. The observation that the nonmetabolized sugars 2-deoxyglucose, 2-deoxygalactose, and alpha-methylglucoside are as effective as glucose suggests that the sugar itself, or an immediate metabolite such as the 1-phosphate derivative, may be the effector.

The effect of Mitomycin C on aggregation, adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) metabolism and reactions induced by thrombin was studied in rabbit platelets. Mitomycin C inhibited the platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate or thrombin. The level of radioactive cyclic AMP derived from 8-14C adenine or 8-14C adenosine increased after incubating intact platelets with Mitomycin C. Formation of radioactive adenosine triphosphate also increased though mitochondrial oxidation was not stimulated. Similar effect was observed also in rabbit liver. Mitomycin C failed to stimulate platelet adenyl cyclase but inhibited cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase in the absence of theophylline. In the platelets preincubated with Mitomycin C, thrombin-induced inhibition of adenyl cyclase, stimulation of membrane-bound cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, and release of 250,000 dalton protein from platelet membranes were prevented. These results suggest that Mitomycin C will affect cellular membrane structure and function, and this extranuclear effect of Mitomycin C will lead to inhibition of aggregation in blood platelets.

Activity, ratio and summary content of cyclic AMP enzymes, adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase varied depending on growth conditions of phototrophic bacteria (Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rhodopseudomonas palustris). It suggests, that membrane-bound and soluble enzymes carry different functions. The increase of adenylate cyclase under chaning growth conditions was usually accompanied by the increase of phosphodiesterase. Sharp increase of both enzymes activity was observed when bacteria were growth in aerobic conditions. The activity of both enzymes in chromatophores was 2.8-fold higher when bacteria were grown in the light in anaerobic conditions, than in chromatophores of bacteria grown under stationary aerobic conditions in the light. It is suggested that 3':5' AMP can participate in autotrophic carbon assimilation or in the synthesis of pigments and other components of bacterial photosynthetizing apparatus. Substitution of NH4+ into NO3- and glutamate under the growing of R. rubrum in anaerobic conditions in the light resulted in the increase of the enzymes activities, which is the evidence of possible role of 3':5' AMP in mineral nitrogen uptake and nitrogen fixation. Glutamate concentration of 4 g/l stimulated the enzymes both in vivo and in vitro. The data obtained suggest that 3':5' AMP can carry multiple functions, participating in regulation of a number of metabolic processes in photorophic bacteria.

The molecular aspects of catecholamine-receptor interactions are reviewed with respect to their clinical implications. Beta- and in some tissues alpha-adrenergic receptors are coupled to the membrane-bound adenylate cyclase. The adrenergic receptor sites are distinct membrane constituents. Their number and the ratio alpha-to beta-receptor site depend on the plasma concentration of catecholamines and are affected by diet and endocrinological factors. Recent clinical studies suggest that long-term treatment with beta-adrenergic agonists may induces desensitization of target tissues due to changes in the adrenergic receptor moieties.

In the presence of ATP and a cytosolic factor, cholera toxin fragment A1 catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD to a number of soluble and membrane-bound proteins of the pigeon erythrocyte. Evidence is presented that suggests that the most readily modified membrane protein (Mr 42,000) is the adenylate cyclase-associated GTP-binding protein. Its modification by toxin is stimulated by guanine nucleotides. Adenylate cyclase activity increases in parallel with the addition of ADP-ribose to this protein and decreases in parallel with the subsequent reversal of ADP-ribosylation by toxin and nicotinamide. The protein is only accessible to toxin A subunits if the erythrocytes are lysed. When adenylate cyclase activity reaches a maximum, the number of ADP-ribose residues bound to this protein (about 1500 per cell) is similar to the reported number of beta-adrenergic receptors.

Inhibition of adenylate cyclase in intact platelets by addition of compounds such as 2', 5' - dideoxyadenosine prevented the inhibition of platelet aggregation by PGE1 but did not affect the responses of platelets to aggregating agents in the absence of PGE1. This confirms that cyclic AMP mediates the effects of PGE1 but indicates that the level of cyclic AMP in unstimulated platelets is too low to affect the actions of aggregating agents. Studies on the phosphorylation of proteins in intact 32P-labelled platelets showed that PGE1 increased the phosphorylation of a membrane-bound polypeptide (P24) and prevented the increased phosphorylation of other polypeptides (P47 and P20) that occurred on addition of inducers of the release reaction. It is suggested that the cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of P24 stimulates the active transport of Ca(2+) out of the platelet cytosol, so preventing phosphorylation of P47 and P20, reactions which may be involved in the release mechanism. As increases in platelet cyclic GMP could be dissociated from both platelet aggregation and the release reaction, it is proposed that the bidirectional regulation of platelet function is achieved primarily by the opposing actions of increases in the concentrations of Ca(2+) and cyclic AMP.

The membrane-bound adenylase cyclase (ATP pyrosphosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1) of isolated rat adrenal cortex cells can be rendered soluble using 0.02 M Lubrol 12A9. The solubilized enzyme can be filtered through Milipore filters with pores 0.22 micron in diameter. Using gel filtration, on Sephadex G-200, adenylate cyclase activity was eluted with a distribution coefficient of 0.139, whereas on Sephadex G-100 the activity was eluted in the excluded volume. Half-maximum activation of the postulated guanyl nucleotide regulator site of adenylate was achieved with 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate at a concentration of 1 . 10(-6)M. In contrast, however, using intact isolated rat adrenal cortex cells the guanyl nucleotide regulator site could not be stimulated by 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and glucagon increase the urinary fractional excretion of phosphate, but insulin administration is associated with a decreased fractional excretion of phosphate. It was the purpose of this study to determine whether insulin will antagonize the effects of PTH and glucagon on cAMP levels and protein kinase activation of rat renal cortex. In situ incubation studies were performed on rat renal cortical slices exposed to insulin, PTH, and glucagon. Insulin alone did not affect the tissue cAMP and cGMP levels or the state of protein kinase activation. Preincubation of slices with insulin, however, did significantly inhibit increases in protein kinase activation induced by both PTH and glucagon. Insulin also significantly inhibited PTH-stimulated increases in tissue cAMP levels, but did not blunt the elevations of cAMP levels induced by glucagon. Insulin (10(-9) M) had no effect on either the in vitro activity of adenylate cyclase, basal or PTH-stimulated, or on the activities of low Km cytosolic or membrane-bound cAMP phosphodiesterase. The data show that insulin antagonizes activation of protein kinase by both PTH and glucagon in renal cortex. Separate mechanisms are probably involved for PTH and glucagon interaction. The antiphosphaturic effect of insulin in vivo may result in part from this antagonism at the cellular level.

Upon incubation of lysed pigeon erythrocytes with NAD, adenosine diphosphate-ribose (ADP-ribose) is incorporated into nuclear poly ADP-ribose and into an unidentified acid-insoluble product of the cytosol. The properties of these incorporations have been examined and a method developed for reducing their amount whilst retaining the sensitivity of the lysate to cholera toxin. This method has allowed the detection and description of a set of cholera toxin-specific ADP-ribose transfers to membrane-bound and soluble proteins under conditions that lead to adenylate cyclase activation.
