Solubilization of membrane-bound adenylate cyclase of isolated rat adrenal cortex cells. 1979

M Pilaski, and K D Voigt, and W Walter

The membrane-bound adenylase cyclase (ATP pyrosphosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1) of isolated rat adrenal cortex cells can be rendered soluble using 0.02 M Lubrol 12A9. The solubilized enzyme can be filtered through Milipore filters with pores 0.22 micron in diameter. Using gel filtration, on Sephadex G-200, adenylate cyclase activity was eluted with a distribution coefficient of 0.139, whereas on Sephadex G-100 the activity was eluted in the excluded volume. Half-maximum activation of the postulated guanyl nucleotide regulator site of adenylate was achieved with 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate at a concentration of 1 . 10(-6)M. In contrast, however, using intact isolated rat adrenal cortex cells the guanyl nucleotide regulator site could not be stimulated by 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D006165 Guanylyl Imidodiphosphate A non-hydrolyzable analog of GTP, in which the oxygen atom bridging the beta to the gamma phosphate is replaced by a nitrogen atom. It binds tightly to G-protein in the presence of Mg2+. The nucleotide is a potent stimulator of ADENYLYL CYCLASES.

D000302 Adrenal Cortex The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from MESODERM and comprised of three zones (outer ZONA GLOMERULOSA, middle ZONA FASCICULATA, and inner ZONA RETICULARIS) with each producing various steroids preferentially, such as ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and ANDROSTENEDIONE. Adrenal cortex function is regulated by pituitary ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN. Cortex, Adrenal
D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012995 Solubility The ability of a substance to be dissolved, i.e. to form a solution with another substance. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed) Solubilities
D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
