TLDR
The regulation of many of the ACs by the ubiquitous second messenger Ca(2+) provides an overarching mechanism for integrating the activities of these two major signaling systems, and cAMP will exhibit distinct kinetics in discrete cellular domains.
Abstract
The adenylyl cyclases are variously regulated by G protein subunits, a number of serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinases, and Ca2+. In some physiological situations, this regulation can be re...

Spatiotemporal control of cyclic AMP immunomodulation through the PKA–Csk inhibitory pathway is achieved by anchoring to an Ezrin–EBP50–PAG scaffold in effector T cells

TL;DR: A variety of immunoregulatory signals to effector T cells from monocytes, macrophages and regulatory T cells act through cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which modulates directly the proximal events that take place after engagement of the T cell receptor.

In cardiac myocytes, cAMP elevation triggers the down-regulation of transcripts and promoter activity for cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase-4A10 (PDE4A10).

TL;DR: It is suggested that increased cAMP may remodel cAMP-mediated signalling events by not only increasing the expression of specific PDE4 cAMP phosphodiesterases but also by down-regulating specific isoforms, such as is shown here for Pde4A10 in cardiac myocytes.

Adenylyl cyclases in the digestive system.

TL;DR: The basic structure, regulation and physiological roles of ACs in the digestive system are discussed and two transmembrane AC isoforms activated by Gαs are discussed.

Cyclic AMP accelerates calcium waves in pancreatic acinar cells

TL;DR: Data suggest that cAMP accelerates the speed of the Ca(2+) wave in pancreatic acinar cells, and a likely target of this modulation is the RyR, and these effects are mediated independently by PKA and Epac pathways.

The role of osteocytes-specific molecular mechanism in regulation of mechanotransduction - A systematic review.

TL;DR: A systematic review of osteocyte-related pathways and signaling molecules during mechanotransduction is presented in this article, which provides an up-to-date insight to different steps of different steps.

Lipid rafts and signal transduction

TL;DR: It is now becoming clear that lipid micro-environments on the cell surface — known as lipid rafts — also take part in this process of signalling transduction, where protein–protein interactions result in the activation of signalling cascades.

Store-operated calcium channels.

TL;DR: The key electrophysiological features of I(CRAC) and other store-operated Ca(2+) currents and how they are regulated are described, and recent advances that have shed insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in this ubiquitous and vital Ca( 2+) entry pathway are considered.

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases: functional implications of multiple isoforms

TL;DR: This article reviews many of the more important aspects about the structure, cellular localization, and regulation of each family of phosphodiesterases and places particular emphasis on new information obtained in the last few years about how differential expression andregulation of individual phosphodiesters relate to their function(s) in the body.

The role of hormone receptors and GTP-regulatory proteins in membrane transduction

TL;DR: Cell membrane receptors for hormones and neurotransmitters form oligomeric complexes with GTP-regulatory proteins and inhibit the latter from reacting with G TP, and this theory may apply generally to membrane signal transduction involving surface receptors.

Lipid Rafts: Elusive or Illusive?

TL;DR: There has been considerable recent interest in the possibility that the plasma membrane contains lipid "rafts," microdomains enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids, and it seems that a definitive proof of raft existence has yet to be obtained.
