Mechanisms of adenylyl cyclase regulation

intrac酶腺苷酸环化酶合成ellular second messenger cyclic AMP, which plays a key role in functions ranging from control of heart rate and force of contraction to learning and memory or regulation of pain responses. Many hormones and drugs mediate their actions by binding to G protein-coupled receptors that regulate cAMP production. Our laboratory is using structural, biochemical, live-cell imaging, and molecular biology techniques to understand the complex regulation of adenylyl cyclase by heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins, kinases and other interacting proteins.

Another major question in the laboratory is how the fidelity of signaling is maintained within a cell. Cyclic AMP is a small diffusible molecule, yet many hormones stimulate cAMP production but elicit different biological responses. We are examining how localization of adenylyl cyclase to specific complexes within the membrane plays a role in cellular signaling. We have discovered that specific anchoring proteins of cAMP-dependent kinase (AKAPs) recruit adenylyl cyclase as well as other regulatory molecules. These signaling complexes have important roles within dorsal root ganglia to control pain responses and also function in the heart to control contractile events. We are currently using biochemical and functional studies in DRG neurons and heart to further define the nature of adenylyl cyclase complexes and to understand how specificity of signaling is generated and maintained under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
