Abstract
The time course of activation and deactivation and the degree of activation at steady state [ E a ] / [ E tot ] of adenylate cyclase, in semi-purified rat pancreatic plasma membranes, were compatible with a simple two-state model with three rate constants, so that [ E a ] / [ E tot ] = k +1 /( k +1 + k 2 + k -1 ). The hormone CCK-8 increased k +1 with GTP in a dose-dependent manner, from 0.2 to 10.9 min -1 ; k -1 increased from 0.01 to 0.3 min -1 , i.e. in proportion, but k 2 was unaltered at 7 min -1 , so that [ E a ] / [ E tot ] increased 15-fold, from 4 to 61%. A similar activation was obtained after cholera toxin pretreatment but by a different mechanism. The toxin pretreatment exerted a major inhibitory effect on the value of k 2 and on the corresponding GTPase activity. A pretreatment at the high cholera toxin concentration (30 pg/ml) exerted two additional effects that became evident when p[NH]ppG rather than GTP was used as activating nucleotide: ( a ) a relatively large increase in k -1 from an unmeasurably low control value to 0.3 min -1 , and ( b ) a four-fold increase in the p[NH]ppG activation rate, k +1. This contrasted with the action of CCK-8, which increased k -1 and k +1 in proportion.Keywords
