Membrane association of soluble protein activators of rat liver adenylate cyclase. Evidence for distinctness from the guanine nucleotide-binding stimulating protein (Ns). 1986

T M Kelly, and M A Levine, and M A Piñeyro, and R I Gregerman

Sonication of a crude rat liver membrane preparation and centrifugation at 100,000 X g yielded a supernatant which activated basal and hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclases [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1]. The membrane origin of the stimulatory activity was confirmed by the use of lactate dehydrogenase as a marker for contamination by cytosol. The solubility of the activating factors was verified by their passage through 0.05 micron diameter pores of Millipore filters. The membrane-derived activators were nondialyzable and destroyed by heat and trypsin in the same manner as adenylate cyclase activators detectable in cytosol. Stimulation by factors from membranes and cytosol was not additive. The amount of the activators which could be freed from membranes by sonication was 12-15% of that contained in cytosol previously separated from the membranes. Soluble activators from the two sources had limited ability to restore adenylate cyclase activity to membranes from the cyclone of S49 mouse lymphoma cells which are deficient in the enzyme's guanine nucleotide-binding stimulatory protein, Ns. Cytosol did not contain a substrate for ADP-ribosylation by cholera toxin that corresponded electrophoretically to Ns. Furthermore, purified Ns did not affect adenylate cyclase activity in preparations stimulated by the soluble activators. These findings suggest that the activating factors found in cytosol may be released from membranes during tissue homogenization. Because these protein activators can be obtained from membranes without use of detergents and can neither substitute for nor be substituted for by Ns in functional assays, they are distinct from Ns.

D002772 Cholera Toxin An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.
