Adenylyl Cyclase Pathway
  1. Adenylyl Cyclase = membrane-bound enzyme.
    1. catalyses the synthesis of cAMP from ATP.
      1. cAMP = 2nd messenger
        1. activates protein kinase cascades e.g.PKA.
        2. Activation of adenylyl cyclase and thus cAMP levels is proportional to the total concentration of G-alpha subunits that are bound to GTP
          1. Positive and Negative Regulation of Adenylyl Cyclase Activity provides fine tuning for levels of cAMP.
        3. An example?
          1. The PKA mediated effects of cardiac myocytes
            1. voltage-gated calcium channels in myocytes are either unavailble (electically unexcitable) or availble (electrically excitable)
              1. Norepinarphrine acts as the 1st messenger
                1. acts at beta-adrenergic receptors
                  1. Which are coupled to G-proteins
                    1. Adynylylcyclase acts as the effector protein
                      1. The synthesis of cAMP is catalysed (from ATP)
                        1. and PKA is the late effector protein
                          1. PKA has the ability to make the Ca2+ channels in myocytes electrically excitable (i.e.availble)
