Transmembrane receptors of various hormones are<br />

coupled to adenylate cyclase (AC) via heterotrimeric<br />

G-proteins. Ligand binding to the receptor changes the<br />

receptor conformation, allowing it to associate with a<br />

G-protein. This results in the activation of the specific<br />

G-protein via exchange of GTP for GDP bound to the asubunit<br />

of the G-protein. The activated G-protein in turn<br />

activates AC resulting in the conversion of ATP to cAMP.<br />

cAMP then acts to regulate a wide variety of cellular<br />

processes. AC can couple with both the stimulatory and<br />

inhibitory G-proteins (G s and G i ). Interaction with G s<br />

stimulates its activity and interaction with G i inhibits its<br />

enzymatic activity.<br />

At least nine different isoforms of AC have been<br />

reported that differ in their regulatory properties and<br />

are differentially expressed in various tissues. They<br />

are integral membrane proteins that are composed of<br />

two cytoplasmic domains and two membrane-spanning<br />

domains, each of which contains six transmembrane<br />

spans. The amino acid sequence of each cytoplasmic<br />

domain, which is thought to contain a nucleotide (ATP)<br />

binding site, is well conserved among the various<br />

subtypes. Although ACs can exist in both particulate<br />

and soluble forms, the particulate form is more<br />

prevalent in mammals. Based on the conservation<br />

of their catalytic domains, three classes of ACs are<br />

described: class I-ACs are found in Gram-negative<br />

facultative anaerobes, such as E. coli; class II-“toxic'<br />

ACs, including calmodulin (CaM)-activated ACs<br />

are found in pathogenic bacteria, such as Bordetella<br />

pertussis and Bacillus anthracis; and class III-ACs are<br />

found in a wide variety of organisms ranging from<br />

bacteria to human. Class III-AC also include nine<br />

isoforms found in mammals, which are designated AC-<br />

1 to AC-9. These nine isoforms are stimulated by the<br />

a-subunit of G s -protein and by forskolin. ACs are also<br />

capable of receiving signals from a variety of other<br />

sources, such as G i -a, protein kinase A, C, CaM kinase,<br />

and Ca 2+ /CaM. Hormonal activation of CaM-dependent<br />

adenylate cyclase occurs at very low Ca 2+ levels. The<br />

activity of AC is inhibited by high levels of Ca 2+ , which<br />

also activates CaM-dependent phosphodiesterase.<br />
