Studies on cyclic nucleotides in the adrenal gland. XI. Adrenergic regulation of adenylate cyclase activity in the adrenal cortex. 1984

S Shima, and K Komoriyama, and M Hirai, and H Kouyama

Adrenergic regulation of adenylate cyclase activities in the zona glomerulosa (the capsular fraction) and the zona fasciculata-reticularis (the decapsulated fraction) from rat adrenocortical glands has been investigated. Specific binding of [3H]dihydroalprenolol to the membrane from the capsular and the decapsulated fractions was saturable with dissociation constant (Kd) of 4.67 and 5.1 microM, respectively. The receptor density in the capsular and the decapsulated fractions was 230 and 235 fmol/mg protein, respectively. The potencies which isoproterenol, epinephrine, salbutamol, and norepinephrine competed with [3H]dihydroalprenolol binding sites indicted that adrenergic receptors of the capsular and the decapsulated membranes were of the beta 2-type. beta-Adrenergic stimulation of the adenylate cyclase system was observed only in the capsular fraction. This suggests that beta-adrenergic receptors of the capsular membrane are associated with their adenylate cyclase system, but those of the decapsulated membrane are not. Maximum stimulatory concentrations of ACTH and isoproterenol had no additive effect on the capsular adenylate cyclase, indicating that receptors for ACTH and beta-adrenergic agonists are coupled to a common pool of the cyclase.
