Inhibitors of membranous adenylyl cyclases [PDF]
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2012 Membranous adenylyl cyclases (mACs) constitute a family of nine isoforms with different expression patterns. Studies with mAC gene knockout mice provide evidence for the notion that AC isoforms play distinct (patho)physiological roles. Consequently, there is substantial interest in the development of isoform-selective mAC inhibitors.

Effects of 39 Compounds on Calmodulin-Regulated Adenylyl Cyclases AC1 and Bacillus anthracis Edema Factor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) catalyze the conversion of ATP into the second messenger cAMP. Membranous AC1 (AC1) is involved in processes of memory and learning and in muscle pain.

β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (β-NAD) acts as a bronchodilator. [PDF]
PLoS ONEIntroductionβ-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (β-NAD) is recognized as a sympathetic neurotransmitter that relaxes vascular and intestinal smooth muscle through purinergic receptor pathways. In the lung, β-NAD has been associated with anti-inflammatory

Biochemical pharmacology of adenylyl cyclases in cancer [PDF]
Biochemical PharmacologyGlobally, despite extensive research and pharmacological advancement, cancer remains one of the most common causes of mortality. Understanding the signaling pathways involved in cancer progression is essential for the discovery of new drug targets. The adenylyl cyclase (AC) superfamily comprises glycoproteins that regulate intracellular signaling and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Receptor-Bound Guanylyl Cyclase DAF-11 Is the Mediator of Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced cGMP Increase in Caenorhabditis elegans [corrected].. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and guanosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) are well-studied second messengers that transmit extracellular signals into mammalian cells, with conserved functions in various other species such as ...

A molecular dynamics study of adenylyl cyclase: The impact of ATP and G-protein binding. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 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.
