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...

Principles of c-di-GMP signalling in bacteria.

TL;DR: This Review focuses on emerging principles of c-di-GMP signalling using selected systems in different bacteria as examples.

A Coupled SYSTEM of Intracellular Ca2+ Clocks and Surface Membrane Voltage Clocks Controls the Timekeeping Mechanism of the Heart’s Pacemaker

TL;DR: Evidence is examined that forms the basis of this coupled-clock system concept in cardiac SANCs, where G protein-coupled receptors signaling creates pacemaker flexibility, ie, effects changes in the rhythmic action potential firing rate, by impacting on these very same factors that regulate robust basal coupled- clock system function.

Caveolae as Organizers of Pharmacologically Relevant Signal Transduction Molecules

TL;DR: The role of Caveolae/caveolin in cardiac and pulmonary pathophysiology, pharmacologic implications of caveolar localization of signaling molecules, and the possibility that caveolae might serve as a therapeutic target are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Underpinning compartmentalised cAMP signalling through targeted cAMP breakdown

TL;DR: Genes for these important regulatory enzymes are linked to schizophrenia, stroke and asthma, thus indicating the therapeutic potential that selective inhibitors could have as anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant and cognitive enhancer agents.

Physiological roles for G protein-regulated adenylyl cyclase isoforms: insights from knockout and overexpression studies.

TL;DR: The latest on AC knockout and overexpression studies are explored to better understand the roles of G protein regulation of ACs in the brain, olfactory bulb, and heart.

Construction of a full-length ca2+-sensitive adenylyl cyclase/aequorin chimera

TL;DR: This is the first full-length enzyme-aequorin chimera that retains the full biological properties of both aequorin and a Ca2+-sensitive adenylyl cyclase under a variety of physiological conditions.

Expression of adenylyl cyclase mRNAs in the adult, in developing, and in the Brattleboro rat kidney.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that AC-6 was the predominant isoform in the adult rat kidney, whereas AC-4, -5, and -9 had a lower expression, and the expression of all these isoforms was decreased in the homozygous Brattleboro rat kidney.

N-glycosylation and residues Asn805 and Asn890 are involved in the functional properties of type VI adenylyl cyclase.

TL;DR: Glycosylation of ACVI not only affected its catalytic activity in an activator-dependent manner, but also altered its ability to be regulated by a Gαi protein-coupled receptor or by protein kinase C.

Interactions of the Sulfonylurea Receptor 1 Subunit in the Molecular Assembly of β-Cell KATP Channels

TL;DR: It is concluded that the glibenclamide-binding site includes amino acid residues from both halves of the molecule, that there is strong interaction between different regions of SUR1, that NBD2 is not essential for glibanclamide binding, and that interactions between Kir6.2 and SUR1 participate in ATP-sensitive potassium channel assembly.

Sensitivity limits for voltage control of P2Y receptor-evoked Ca2+ mobilization in the rat megakaryocyte

TL;DR: It is shown that P2Y receptor‐evoked Ca2+ mobilization is controlled by membrane voltage in a graded and bipolar manner without evidence for a discrete threshold potential.
