Gαs, adenylyl cyclase, and their relationship to the diagnosis and treatment of depression [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 The relationship between depression, its etiology and therapy, and the cAMP signaling system have been studies for decades. This review will focus on cAMP, G proteins and adenylyl cyclase and depression or antidepressant action.

Adenylyl Cyclase in Ocular Health and Disease: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]
BiologyAdenylyl cyclases (ACs) are a group of enzymes that convert adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic adenosine 3′,5′ monophosphate (cAMP), a vital and ubiquitous signalling molecule in cellular responses to hormones and neurotransmitters. There are nine

Strategies to safely target widely expressed soluble adenylyl cyclase for contraception
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 In humans, the prototypical second messenger cyclic AMP is produced by 10 adenylyl cyclase isoforms, which are divided into two classes. Nine isoforms are G protein coupled transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs; ADCY1-9) and the 10th is the bicarbonate ...

The small molecule triclabendazole decreases the intracellular level of cyclic AMP and increases resistance to stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The Ras-adenylyl cyclase-protein kinase A nutrient-sensing pathway controls metabolism, proliferation and resistance to stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The genetic disruption of this pathway increases resistance to a variety of stresses. We show here

The YHS-Domain of an Adenylyl Cyclase from Mycobacterium phlei Is a Probable Copper-Sensor Module. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 YHS-domains are small protein modules which have been proposed to bind transition-metal ions like the related TRASH-domains. They are found in a variety of enzymes including copper-transporting ATPases and adenylyl cyclases.

Role of adenylyl cyclase in reduced β-adrenoceptor-mediated vasorelaxation during maturation [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2016 Beta-adrenergic receptor (βAR)-dependent blood vessel relaxation is impaired in older animals and G protein activation has been suggested as the causative mechanism.

The role of the type 7 adenylyl cyclase isoform in alcohol use disorder and depression
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 The translation of extracellular signals to intracellular responses involves a number of signal transduction molecules. A major component of this signal transducing function is adenylyl cyclase, which produces the intracellular “second messenger,” cyclic

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 KAT7‐acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G‐protein GαS enhances IL‐6 effect and drives HCC progenitor cell progression. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocarcinogenesis goes through HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs) to fully established HCC, and the mechanisms driving the development of HcPCs are still largely unknown.

Role of membrane microdomains in compartmentation of cAMP signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Spatially restricting cAMP production to discrete subcellular locations permits selective regulation of specific functional responses. But exactly where and how cAMP signaling is confined is not fully understood.
