Adenylyl cyclases in the digestive system [PDF]
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.

Allosteric Inhibition of Adenylyl Cyclase Type 5 by G-Protein: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) have a crucial role in many signal transduction pathways, in particular in the intricate control of cyclic AMP (cAMP) generation from adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

A molecular dynamics study of adenylyl cyclase: The impact of ATP and G-protein binding. [PDF]
Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) catalyze the biosynthesis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and play an important role in many signal transduction pathways.

Insulin secretion is widely thought to be maximally stimulated in glucose concentrations of 16.7-to-30 mM (300-to-540 mg/dL). However, insulin secretion is seldom tested in hyperglycemia exceeding these levels despite the Guinness World Record being 147 ...

Cyclic AMP signalling in pancreatic islets [PDF]
Cyclic 3'5'AMP (cAMP) is an important physiological amplifier of glucose-induced insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet β-cell, where it is formed by the activity of adenylyl cyclases, which are stimulated by glucose, through elevation in ...

Regulation of Adenylyl Cyclase by Membrane Potential [PDF]
Mammalian adenylyl cyclases possess 12 transmembrane-spanning domains and bear a superficial resemblance to certain classes of ion channels. Some evidence suggests that bacterial and sea urchin sperm adenylyl cyclases can be regulated by membrane depolarization. In the present study, we explored the effect of altering membrane potential on the adenylyl

Adenylyl cyclase type 5 (AC5), as the principal isoform expressed in striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs), is essential for the integration of both stimulatory and inhibitory midbrain signals that initiate from dopaminergic G protein-coupled receptor ...

Genetic and biochemical analysis of the adenylyl cyclase-associated protein, cap, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
We have identified, cloned, and studied a gene, cap, encoding a protein that is associated with adenylyl cyclase in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Discovery of LRE1 as a specific and allosteric inhibitor of soluble adenylyl cyclase
The prototypical second messenger cAMP regulates a wide variety of physiological processes. It can simultaneously mediate diverse functions by acting locally within independently-regulated microdomains.
