Soluble adenylyl cyclase in the eye

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2014
Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are a family of enzymes which convert ATP to cAMP, an essential intermediate in many signal transduction pathways. Of the 10 AC genes in man, 9 fall into the category of transmembrane ACs (tmACs), which associate with G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are activated by forskolin.

Ligand binding represses bacterial histidine kinase activity by inhibiting its dimerization

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PdtaS is a kinase in the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis that senses copper and nitric oxide and controls virulence gene expression, but how the kinase senses these compounds was unclear. We show that PdtaS is active as a dimer with each monomer phosphorylating the other in trans.

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Constitutive inhibitory G protein activity upon adenylyl cyclase-dependent cardiac contractility is limited to adenylyl cyclase type 6.

PLoS ONE, 2019
PurposeWe previously reported that inhibitory G protein (Gi) exerts intrinsic receptor-independent inhibitory activity upon adenylyl cyclase (AC) that regulates contractile force in rat ventricle. The two major subtypes of AC in the heart are AC5 and AC6.

Mutations of the adenylyl cyclase gene that block RAS function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

, 1990
The interaction between RAS proteins and adenylyl cyclase was studied by using dominant interfering mutations of adenylyl cyclase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. RAS proteins activate adenylyl cyclase in this organism.

MdPHYB2‐MdPIF1 Module Regulates Transcription Factors to Mediate Light‐Dependent ALA‐Induced Apple Anthocyanin Biosynthesis

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Light is a primary environmental signal that induces plant anthocyanin accumulation. The plant growth regulator 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has also been proven to effectively promote anthocyanin accumulation in apple. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unknown.

Resistin and adenylyl cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1) regulate the expression of genes related to insulin resistance in BNL CL.2 mouse liver cells

Data in Brief, 2019
Resistin is an adipokine produced in white adipose tissue that is thought to modulate insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues (such as liver, skeletal muscle or adipose tissue). Human and murine resistin molecules share only about 60% sequence homology.

Acute exercise‐induced lipolysis and increase in levels of fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids in adipose tissue are impaired in obese and aged mice

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Improving adipose tissue (AT) metabolism through exercise might increase production of lipokines from the fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFA) family. Although exercise training can increase insulin sensitivity and levels of specific FAHFA in AT and the circulation in humans, the effects of acute exercise on FAHFA levels remain ...

The adenylyl cyclase signaling system in normal and failing myocardium [PDF]

, 2014
This bachelor thesis describes a signal pathway of adenylyl cyclase, which plays a key role in the modulation of heart rate and force of contraction.

Temperature dependence of HCN channel kinetics: A systematic comparison across mammalian isoforms and species

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperpolarization‐activated, cyclic nucleotide‐gated (HCN) channels are important regulators of cardiac pacemaking and neuronal excitability, yet their temperature dependence has not been compared systematically across mammalian isoforms and species in standardized experimental conditions. Here, we performed a standardized electrophysiological
