Parathyroid hormone- (PTH) stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in homogenates of rat renal cortex was inhibited by l-epinephrine. The specificity of the inhibition indicated that it was mediated by alpha 2-receptors. The inhibition of PTH-stimulated activity was greater than the inhibition of basal activity. The absolute decrease in adenylate cyclase activity produced by 10-4 M l-epinephrine was from 16.3 +/-0.6 (SE) to 11.2 +/- 0.6 pmol.min-1.mg-1 for activity stimulated by 10 microgram/ml PTH. Basal activity was decreased from 2.3 +/- 0.07 to 1.7 +/- 0.04. A similar inhibition of PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase by l-epinephrine was demonstrated in preparations of renal cortical tubules. In contrast, the quantitative decrease in vasopressin-or calcitonin-stimulated activity by 10-4 M l-epinephrine was the same as the decrease in basal activity. These results demonstrate that PTH receptors that stimulated adenylate cyclase and alpha 2-adrenergic receptors that inhibit adenylate cyclase are present on the same cells in the renal tubules. Thus, a mechanism exists whereby alpha-adrenergic agonists can oppose the tubular actions of PTH via a direct inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity.

ABSTRACT Previous studies in other laboratories had indicated that some of the effects of parathyroid hormone on skeletal tissue and the renal tubule to influence ion metabolism can be produced by beta-adrenergic stimulation. Studies were carried out to determine whether the same adenylate cyclase system in rat renal cortex is activated by parathyroid hormone and isoproterenol. At maximal effective concentration of dose response, parathyroid hormone (2 × −5 m) increased adenylate cyclase activity by some 415 per cent, isoproterenol (10−6 m) increased activity by some 40 to 50 per cent, vasopressin (10−5 m) increased activity by some 96 per cent and porcine calcitonin (10−5 m) increased activity by some 92 per cent. Dl-propranolol (10−5 m), a beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent, prevented the increase in enzyme activity produced by isoproterenol (10−6 m), did not diminish the increase in activity produced by parathyroid hormone (10−6 m) and did not influence basal adenylate cyclase activity by itself. The combined maximal concentrations of isoproterenol together with either parathyroid hormone, vasopressin or porcine calcitonin were additive. These results indicate that there is an adenylate cyclase system in rat renal cortex which can be activated by beta-adrenergic stimulation with isoproterenol, and is separate from the systems responsive to parathyroid hormone, vasopressin or calcitonin.

SUMMARY Both guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP) and 5′-guanylylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) activated adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) in chick kidney plasma membranes. Half-maximal stimulation occurred at 3·1 × 10−6 m for both agents. The maximum increases in adenylate cyclase activity produced by GTP and Gpp(NH)p were respectively 130 and 720% over basal activity. At the end of a 12 min incubation period GTP concentration was 85% of that originally added in the presence of an ATP-regenerating system but less than 20% in its absence. GTP and guanosine 5′-diphosphate inhibited the activation of adenylate cyclase by Gpp(NH)p, suggesting that they all acted at a common site. Gpp(NH)p facilitated the stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity by bovine parathyroid hormone (BPTH) and by the synthetic amino terminal fragment BPTH (1–34), decreasing the concentrations required for half-maximal enzyme activation by a factor of approximately eight in both cases. This property was not shared by the native nucleotide GTP. Gpp(NH)p rendered active (at certain concentrations) a synthetic parathyroid hormone peptide fragment, BPTH (2–34), which was incapable of activating adenylate cyclase in the absence of the nucleotide analogue. This suggested that the GTP analogue, in addition to a direct effect upon adenylate cyclase activity, was capable of influencing hormone interaction with the enzyme complex.

1. Renal tubular membranes from rat kidneys were prepared, and adenylate cyclase activity was measured under basal conditions, after stimulation by NaF or salmon calcitonin. Apparent Km value of the enzyme for hormone-linked receptor was close to 1 × 10(-8) M. 2. The system was sensitive to temperature and pH. pH was found to act both on affinity for salmon calcitonin-linked receptor and maximum stimulation, suggesting an effect of pH on hormone-receptor binding and on a subsequent step. 3. KCl was without effect areas whereas CoCl and CaCl2 above 100 muM and MnCl2 above 1 muM inhibited F--and salmon calcitonin-sensitive adenylate cyclase activities. The Ca2+ inhibition of the response reflected a fall in maximum stimulation and not a loss of affinity of salmon calcitonin-linked receptor for the enzyme. 4. The measurement of salmon calcitonin-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity as a function of ATP concentration showed that the hormone increases the maximum velocity of the adenylate cyclase. GTP, ITP and XTP at 200 muM did not modify basal, salmon calcitonin- and parathyroid hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase activities. 5. Basal, salmon calcitonin- and F--sensitive adenylate cyclase activities decreased at Mg2+ concentrations below 10 mM. High concentrations of Mg2+ (100 mM) led to an inhibition of the F--stimulated enzyme. 6. Salmon calcitonin-linked receptor had a greater affinity for adenylate cyclase than human or porcine calcitonin-linked receptors. There was no additive effect of these three calcitonin peptides whereas parathyroid hormone added to salmon calcitonin increased adenylate cyclase activity, thus showing that both hormones bound to different membrane receptors. Human calcitonin fragments had no effect on adenylate cyclase activity. 7. Salmon calcitonin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity decreased with the preincubation time. This was due to progressive degradation of the hormone and not to the rate of binding to membrane receptors.

SUMMARY Adenylate cyclase activity of crude plasma membranes from chick kidney was stimulated by low doses of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Sensitivity to PTH was ten to twenty times greater than that of a similar preparation from rat kidney cortex. Synthetic peptides consisting of the NH2-terminal 34 amino acids of bovine PTH (BPTH) and of human PTH (HPTH) were assayed, as were several analogues of these peptides. Bovine PTH (1–34) and HPTH (1–34) were equivalent in their action on chick kidney but the human peptide had only 20% of the activity of the bovine peptide on rat kidney cortex adenylate cyclase. Bovine proPTH ( −6→ + 34) and (Tyr1)-BPTH (1–34) had less activity than BPTH (1–34). Bovine PTH (2–34) inhibited the response to BPTH (1–34). Neither salmon calcitonin nor vasopressin stimulated adenylate cyclase activity.
