Assessing potency and binding kinetics of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) inhibitors to maximize therapeutic potential

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
In mammalian cells, 10 different adenylyl cyclases produce the ubiquitous second messenger, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Amongst these cAMP-generating enzymes, bicarbonate (HCO3−)-regulated soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC; ADCY10) is uniquely ...

Rhodopsin-cyclases for photocontrol of cGMP/cAMP and 2.3 Å structure of the adenylyl cyclase domain

Nature Communications, 2018
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 ...

Identification of essential residues for binding and activation in the human 5-HT7(a) receptor by molecular modeling and site-directed mutagenesis

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
The human 5-HT7 receptor is expressed in both the central nervous system and peripheral tissues and is a potential drug target in behavioral and psychiatric disorders.We examined molecular determinants of ligand binding and G protein activation by the ...

Adenylyl cyclases in the digestive system [PDF]

Cellular Signalling, 2014
Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are a group of widely distributed enzymes whose functions are very diverse. There are nine known transmembrane AC isoforms activated by Gαs. Each has its own pattern of expression in the digestive system and differential regulation of function by Ca(2+) and other intracellular signals.

The bZIP transcription factor Rca1p is a central regulator of a novel CO₂ sensing pathway in yeast.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
Like many organisms the fungal pathogen Candida albicans senses changes in the environmental CO(2) concentration. This response involves two major proteins: adenylyl cyclase and carbonic anhydrase (CA).

Structural basis of adenylyl cyclase 9 activation

Nature Communications, 2022
Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) generate the second messenger cAMP and play an important role in cellular signaling. Here, the authors use cryo-EM to trace the conformational changes resulting from binding to partial and full activators to one of these enzymes ...

Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Inspired Microneedle Platform for NIR‐responsive Immunomodulation and Accelerated Chronic Wound Healing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The research demonstrates a Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐inspired microneedle platform (MSCi@MN) that addresses chronic diabetic wounds by combining MSC‐derived extracellular nanovesicles (NV)–DNA conjugates in microneedle tips with photothermal MXene in the patch layer.

Microglial Deletion of Hrh4 Alleviates Alzheimer's Disease Pathologies by Enhancing Microglial Phagocytosis of Amyloid‐β and Tau

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Histamine H4 receptor (H4R) antagonist VUF6002 mimics low‐dose X‐ray irradiation in aged Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice, enhancing microglial clearance of amyloid‐beta/hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates and restoring cognition. Microglial H4R deletion activates cAMP/TGF‐β1/Smad3 pathway, enhancing phagocytosis, while TGF‐β receptor 1 deletion abolishes ...

Adenylosuccinate Synthase 1 Deficiency Improves Energy Metabolism by Promoting Adipose Tissue Re‐esterification via Glycerol Kinase Upregulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Working model of Adss1‐mediated regulation of energy metabolism in adipose tissue. In beige adipocytes, Adss1 interacts with HDAC3 in the cytoplasm, and its loss reduces nuclear HDAC3 while increasing cytosolic fractions. This redistribution suppresses HDAC activity and enhances H3K27 acetylation at the Gk promoter, leading to transcriptional ...
