Journal ArticleDOI

Cloned and expressed nitric oxide synthase structurally resembles cytochrome P-450 reductase.

TL;DR: Cloning of a complementary DNA for brain nitric oxide synthase reveals recognition sites for NADPH, FAD, flavin mononucleotide and calmodulin as well as phosphorylation sites, indicating that the synthase is regulated by many different factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Golf: an Olfactory Neuron Specific-G Protein Involved in Odorant Signal Transduction

TL;DR: Evidence is presented suggesting that this G protein, termed Golf, mediates olfaction, and the expression of Golf alpha in S49 cyc- kin- cells, a line deficient in endogenous stimulatory G proteins, demonstrates its capacity to stimulate adenylate cyclase in a heterologous system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenylyl cyclase amino acid sequence: possible channel- or transporter-like structure.

TL;DR: An unexpected topographical resemblance between adenylyl cyclase and various plasma membrane channels and transporters was observed, which suggests possible, unappreciated functions for this important enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular cloning of five GTP-binding protein cDNA species from rat olfactory neuroepithelium.

TL;DR: In olfactory tissue, G alpha s was the most abundant of these messages and in combination with the biochemical studies suggests that Galpha s is the G-protein component of the olfaction signal transduction cascade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a Specialized Adenylyl Cyclase That May Mediate Odorant Detection

TL;DR: The mammalian olfactory system may transduce odorant information via a G protein-mediated adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) cascade via a newly discovered adenylyl cyclase, termed type III, which has been cloned, and its expression was localized to o aroma neurons.
