G protein-regulated endocytic trafficking of adenylyl cyclase type 9
GPCRs are increasingly recognized to initiate signaling via heterotrimeric G proteins as they move through the endocytic network, but little is known about how relevant G protein effectors are localized.

Activation of Adenylyl Cyclase Causes Stimulation of Adenosine Receptors
Background/Aims: Signaling of Gs protein-coupled receptors (GsPCRs) is accomplished by stimulation of adenylyl cyclase, causing an increase of the intracellular cAMP concentration, activation of the intracellular cAMP effectors protein kinase A (PKA) and

Gαs, adenylyl cyclase, and their relationship to the diagnosis and treatment of depression [PDF]
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.

Rhodopsin-cyclases for photocontrol of cGMP/cAMP and 2.3 Å structure of the adenylyl cyclase domain
Cyclic AMP and cGMP orchestrate a variety of cellular responses. Here, authors characterize the cGMP producing rhodopsin-guanylyl cyclase from C. anguillulae and derived adenylyl cyclase by a biochemical and structural approach which demonstrates the ...

Strategies to safely target widely expressed soluble adenylyl cyclase for contraception [PDF]
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 ...

Colocalization of protein kinase A with adenylyl cyclase enhances protein kinase A activity during induction of long-lasting long-term-potentiation. [PDF]
The ability of neurons to differentially respond to specific temporal and spatial input patterns underlies information storage in neural circuits. One means of achieving spatial specificity is to restrict signaling molecules to particular subcellular ...

The role of the type 7 adenylyl cyclase isoform in alcohol use disorder and depression [PDF]
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

Evidence for functional pre-coupled complexes of receptor heteromers and adenylyl cyclase
It is unclear whether GPCRs, G proteins and adenylyl cyclase (AC) associate through random collisions or defined pre-coupling mechanisms. Using a peptide-based approach, the authors show that heteromers of adenosine A2A and dopamine D2 receptors form pre-

Central role of soluble adenylyl cyclase and cAMP in sperm physiology [PDF]
Cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP), the first second messenger to be described, plays a central role in cell signaling in a wide variety of cell types.
