The ever unfolding story of cAMP signaling in trypanosomatids: vive la difference! [PDF]
, 2015 Kinetoplastids are unicellular, eukaryotic, flagellated protozoans containing the eponymous kinetoplast. Within this order, the family of trypanosomatids are responsible for some of the most serious human diseases, including Chagas disease (Trypanosoma ...

Compartmentalization of distinct cAMP signaling pathways in mammalian sperm. [PDF]
, 2013 Fertilization competence is acquired in the female tract in a process known as capacitation. Capacitation is needed for the activation of motility (e.g. hyperactivation) and to prepare the sperm for an exocytotic process known as acrosome reaction. While

Developmental, Neuroanatomical and Cellular Expression of Genes Causing Dystonia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Dystonia is one of the most common movement disorders, with variants in multiple genes identified as causative. However, an understanding of which developmental stages, brain regions, and cell types are most relevant is crucial for developing relevant disease models and therapeutics.

Adenylyl cyclases 1 and 8 initiate a presynaptic homeostatic response to ethanol treatment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Although ethanol exerts widespread action in the brain, only recently has progress been made in understanding the specific events occurring at the synapse during ethanol exposure. Mice deficient in the calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclases, AC1

Ca-Stimulated Type 8 Adenylyl Cyclase Is Required for Rapid Acquisition of Novel Spatial Information and for Working/Episodic-Like Memory [PDF]
, 2008 Ca-stimulated adenylyl cyclases (ACs) transduce neuronal stimulation-evoked increase in calcium to the production of cAMP, which impinges on the regulation of many aspects of neuronal function. Type 1 and type 8 AC (AC1 and AC8) are the only ACs that are

Plant‐Derived Melatonin Inhibits Bacterial Virulence via CpxA/R Two‐Component System
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Plant‐derived melatonin is sensed by CpxAE48/T51, which inhibits the phosphorylation cascade transmission from CpxAH240 to CpxRD52, resulting in the inhibition of DNA‐binding capacity of CpxR and subsequent T3SS genes expression in Pst DC3000. ABSTRACT In defending against pathogens, plants deploy diverse secondary metabolites and signaling molecules ...

Soluble adenylyl cyclase: A novel player in cardiac hypertrophy induced by isoprenaline or pressure overload. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In contrast to the membrane bound adenylyl cyclases, the soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) is activated by bicarbonate and divalent ions including calcium.
