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...

Regulation of α‐cell glucagon secretion: The role of second messengers

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of second messengers on α-cell electrical activity, intracellular Ca2+ dynamics and cell exocytosis was discussed, and the possibility that the interaction between different secondmessengers may play a key role in the glucose-regulation of glucagon secretion was highlighted.

Adenylate cyclase 7 regulated by miR-192 promotes ATRA-induced differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia cells

TL;DR: The results showed that AC7 affected intracellular cAMP level and influenced ATRA-induced differentiation of APL cells, and revealed that miR-192 could directly target AC7 expression and knockdown of mi R-192 promoted ATra-induced APL cell differentiation by regulating AC7expression.

High-performance optical control of GPCR signaling by bistable animal opsins MosOpn3 and LamPP in a molecular property–dependent manner

TL;DR: In this article , two animal opsins, MosOpn3 and LamPP, are used in optogenetics equivalently to ChR2 in terms of retinal requirement.

Distribution of adenylyl cyclases in the rat ovary by immunofluorescence microscopy.

TL;DR: The study reveals the redundancy of adenylyl cyclases present in the rat ovary and, therefore, implies potential regulation of follicular and corpus luteum physiology by cyclic adenosine 3′,5′‐monophosphate generated through distinct adenyll cyclases.

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.
