Abstract Objectives Acute cerebral ischemia is characterized by several pathological processes evolving during time, which contribute to the final tissue damage. Secondary processes, such as prolonged inflammatory response, impaired mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, are responsible for the progression of brain injury to the peri‐infarct area,

Disruption of type 3 adenylyl cyclase expression in the hypothalamus leads to obesity [PDF]
Evidence from human studies and transgenic mice lacking the type 3 adenylyl cyclase (AC3) indicates that AC3 plays a role in the regulation of body weight. It is unknown in which brain region AC3 exerts such an effect.

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 ...

New structural forms of a mycobacterial adenylyl cyclase Rv1625c
Rv1625c is one of 16 adenylyl cyclases encoded in the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In solution Rv1625c exists predominantly as a monomer, with a small amount of dimer.

The Enigmatic Canal-Associated Neurons Regulate Caenorhabditis elegans Larval Development Through a cAMP Signaling Pathway. [PDF]
Caenorhabditis elegans larval development requires the function of the two Canal-Associated Neurons (CANs): killing the CANs by laser microsurgery or disrupting their development by mutating the gene ceh-10 results in early larval arrest. How these cells

In the early 1960s, Earl Sutherland and his colleagues performed a series of experiments that led to the understanding that the positive inotropic effects of β-adrenergic agonists were mediated by the activation of the enzyme adenylyl cyclase (AC) and the subsequent production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).1 By measuring tissue cAMP levels ...

Separate roles of PKA and EPAC in renal function unraveled by the optogenetic control of cAMP levels in vivo [PDF]
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates a variety of essential processes in diverse cell types, functioning via cAMP-dependent effectors such as protein kinase A (PKA) and/or exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (EPAC ...

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 ...

Functional Crypto-Adenylate Cyclases Operate in Complex Plant Proteins
Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) and their catalytic product cAMP are regulatory components of many plant responses. Here, we show that an amino acid search motif based on annotated adenylate cyclases (ACs) identifies 12 unique Arabidopsis thaliana candidate ACs,
