[Adenylate cyclase system and its interrelation with muscle function].

Abstract

The article deals with the data of the recent years on localization, structural organization and function of the adenylate cyclase system enzymes. They are mainly membrane-linked enzymes responsible for perception, transformation and transmission of signals of nervous and humoral systems from the cell surface to its internal part, right up the genetic apparatus. The enzymes are characterized catalyzing formation and transformation of cAMP-adenylate cyclase, phosphodisterase and enzymes by means of which intracellular metabolism is regulated with participation of cAMP-protein kinases and phosphoproteinphosphatases. The data are systematized as to possible interrelation of the adenylate cyclatase system function with calcium ion exchange. Attention is concentrated on the system possible role in the transport of this important cation, particularly in ensuring the function of the organism contractile systems.

Use of a dense single nucleotide polymorphism map for in silico mapping in the mouse.

Rapid expansion of available data, both phenotypic and genotypic, for multiple strains of mice has enabled the development of new methods to interrogate the mouse genome for functional genetic perturbations. In silico mapping provides an expedient way to associate the natural diversity of phenotypic traits with ancestrally inherited polymorphisms for the purpose of dissecting genetic traits. In mouse, the current single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data have lacked the density across the genome and coverage of enough strains to properly achieve this goal. To remedy this, 470,407 allele calls were produced for 10,990 evenly spaced SNP loci across 48 inbred mouse strains. Use of the SNP set with statistical models that considered unique patterns within blocks of three SNPs as an inferred haplotype could successfully map known single gene traits and a cloned quantitative trait gene. Application of this method to high-density lipoprotein and gallstone phenotypes reproduced previously characterized quantitative trait loci (QTL). The inferred haplotype data also facilitates the refinement of QTL regions such that candidate genes can be more easily identified and characterized as shown for adenylate cyclase 7.

Activation of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins and induction of endothelial tissue-type plasminogen activator gene transcription by alcohol.

The mechanism by which moderate alcohol ingestion lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease is unknown but may be due, in part, to the ability of alcohol to increase the level of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). Human endothelial cells were treated with low concentrations of ethanol (0.25-25 mM, 0-24 h), which are associated with moderate alcohol consumption. Although treatment with ethanol alone did not affect t-PA gene transcription or mRNA expression, it augmented isoproterenol (ISO)-stimulated t-PA gene transcription and mRNA levels by 3.4- and 2.8-fold, respectively, and decreased plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 mRNA levels by 65%. These effects of ethanol correlated with 2.5- and 6.9-fold increases in ISO-stimulated cyclic AMP levels and 4x-cyclic AMP response element heterologous promoter activity, respectively. To determine whether alcohol-induced changes in agonist-stimulated cyclic AMP levels were because of modulation of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), we assessed the effects of ethanol on Galphas and Galphai2. Although ethanol did not affect the expression of Galphas or Galphai2, it increased ISO-stimulated Galphas GTPase and GTP binding activity by 2.2- and 2.9-fold and decreased UK14304-stimulated Galphai2 GTPase and GTP binding activity by 38 and 80%. These results indicate that treatment with relatively low concentrations of ethanol enhances agonist-stimulated cyclic AMP-dependent t-PA gene transcription in vascular endothelial cells through differential modulation of G protein.

A mutation in the heterotrimeric stimulatory guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha-subunit with impaired receptor-mediated activation because of elevated GTPase activity.

It has been reported that substitution of Arg258, a residue within the GTPase domain of the heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein) alpha-subunit (alphas), to alanine (alphas-R258A) results in decreased activation by receptor or aluminum fluoride (AlF4-) and increased basal GDP release. Arg258 interacts with Gln170 in the helical domain, and, presumably, loss of this interaction between the GTPase and helical domain leads to more rapid GDP release, resulting in decreased activation by AlF4- and increased thermolability. In this study, we mutate Gln170 to alanine (alphas-Q170A) and demonstrate that this mutant, like alphas-R258A, has decreased activation by AlF4-, increased thermolability (both reversed in the presence of excess guanine nucleotide), and an increased rate of GDP release. However, unlike alphas-R258A, alphas-Q170A does not have impaired receptor-mediated activation. Therefore, this interdomain interaction is critical to maintain normal guanine nucleotide binding (and hence normal activation by AlF4-) but is not important for receptor-mediated activation. In single turnover GTPase assays, the catalytic rate for GTP hydrolysis of alphas-R258A was 14-fold higher than normal whereas that of alphas-Q170A was unaffected. Examination of the alphas crystal structure suggests that Arg258, through interactions with Glu50, might constrain the position of Arg201, a residue critical for catalyzing the GTPase reaction. This is an example of a mutation in a heterotrimeric G protein that results in an increased intrinsic GTPase activity and provides another mechanism by which G protein mutations can impair signal transduction.
