GPCRs Regulate Adenylyl Cylase Activity01:09

GPCRs Regulate Adenylyl Cylase Activity

Some GPCRs transmit signals through adenylyl cyclase (AC), a transmembrane enzyme. AC helps synthesize second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). AC catalyzes cyclization reaction and converts ATP to cAMP by releasing a pyrophosphate. The pyrophosphate is further hydrolyzed to phosphate by the enzyme pyrophosphatase, which drives cAMP synthesis to completion. However, cAMP is rapidly degraded to 5′ AMP by the enzymes phosphodiesterase (PDE), preventing overstimulation of cells.

Sympathetic Signaling01:31

Sympathetic Signaling

Sympathetic signaling, a vital part of the autonomic nervous system, plays a crucial role in mobilizing the body's resources in response to stress or emergencies. It involves the transmission of nerve impulses from sympathetic preganglionic fibers to postganglionic fibers. This results in the release of specific neurotransmitters and activation of adrenergic receptors.
Sympathetic preganglionic fibers release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) onto the ganglionic neurons in the...

Summary

Calcium-stimulated adenylate cyclase 1 (AC1) plays a role in developing nerve connections. AC1 influences motor neuron and sensory neuron branching in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Adenylate cyclase 1 (AC1) is crucial for refining retinotopic maps and growth cone retraction.
  • AC1 mediates responses to guidance cues like ephrin-A5 in the retina.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role and expression patterns of AC1 in developing spinal cord motor neurons and dorsal root ganglia sensory neurons.
  • To determine AC1's function in the formation of peripheral nerve trajectories.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of AC1 expression timing and localization in specific motor neuron subpopulations (LMCm, MMCl) during embryonic development (E12.5 onwards).
  • Examination of peripheral sensory and motor axon branching patterns in wild-type and barrelless (AC1-mutant) mice.

Main Results:

  • AC1 is dynamically expressed in LMCm and MMCl motor neurons, with expression peaking during axon branching and target innervation.
  • AC1-mutant mice exhibit aberrant branching in sensory projections to the skin and in intercostal muscle innervation by MMCl axons.

Conclusions:

  • AC1 expression is developmentally regulated in specific neuronal populations involved in peripheral innervation.
  • AC1 appears to regulate nerve branching and pruning after initial axon projection, impacting the formation of peripheral nerve trajectories.
