These studies examine the regulation of adenylate cyclase in renal cortical membranes from phosphate-deprived and phosphate-deprived acidotic dogs. Enzyme stimulation by parathyroid hormone (PTH) was decreased in phosphate deprivation [Vmax 1,578 +/- 169 vs. 2,581 +/- 219 pmol adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP).mg protein-1 x 30 min-1 in controls, P less than 0.01]. Metabolic acidosis further decreased PTH-stimulated activity. Membranes from phosphate-deprived dogs showed a decrease in Gs alpha-content by cholera toxin-dependent ADP-ribosylation (174 +/- 18 arbitrary units vs. 266.4 +/- 13.6 in controls, P less than 0.01). Metabolic acidosis further decreased Gs alpha-content, P less than 0.01. Gi content by pertussis-dependent ADP-ribosylation was also lower in phosphate-deprived and phosphate-deprived acidotic animals. Gs function was examined by its property to protect the catalytic unit from inactivation by N-ethylmaleimide when preincubated with GTP gamma S. In controls, protection of inactivation was 80% of the maximal activity, whereas in phosphate deprivation protection was less than 50%. In conclusion, metabolic acidosis enhances adenylate cyclase resistance to PTH in phosphate deprivation. These alterations are associated with a decrease in the content and function of Gs alpha, suggesting a role of Gs in the renal adaptation to phosphate depletion and acidosis.

Stimulation Of

Glucagon can form water-soluble complexes with phospholipids. The incorporation of glucagon into these lipoprotein particles reduces the biological activity of the hormone. The effect is observed only at temperatures below the phase transition temperature of the phospholipid and results in a decreased stimulation of the adenylate cyclase of rat liver plasma membranes by the lipoprotein complex as compared with the hormone in free solution. Two- to five-fold higher concentrations of glucagon are required for half-maximal stimulation of adenylate cyclase when the hormone is complexed with dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, or bovine brain sphingomyelin. A possible role of lipoprotein-associated hormones in the development of insulin resistance is discussed.

Biochemical Evaluation

The cytochemical procedures for localizing adenylate cyclase have been a source of controversy since their introduction. The importance of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP), the product of adenylate cyclase's action on adenosine triphosphate (ATP), in cell biology is clear. Thus, the ability to localize this enzyme system reliably is an important tool in the study of various cellular functions. This report reviews the literature and presents a biochemical evaluation of the methods for localizing adenylate cyclase. The review and data presented serve to clarify many of the controversies surrounding this important cytochemical procedure. It is evident that although there are problems associated with localizing the enzyme, several valid procedures are currently available for the cytochemical localization of adenylate cyclase. In using these procedures, the effects of fixation and the capture agent on adenylate cyclase activity in the particular tissue being studied should be considered. Only repurified adenylyl imidodiphosphate [App(NH)p] should be used in the incubation medium. If care is taken, the use of these techniques can be of great value in the continued study of the role of cyclic nucleotides in cell biology.
