Recent studies have demonstrated that adenylyl cyclase isoforms can form both homo- and heterodimers and that this may be the basic functional unit of these enzymes (see Cooper, D.M.F. and Crossthwaite, A.J. (2006) Trends. Pharmacol. Sci. 8:426-431). Here, we show that adenylyl cyclases 2 and 5 can form a functional heterodimeric complex in HEK293 cells using a combination of BRET, confocal imaging, co-immunoprecipitation and assays of adenylyl cyclase activity. The AC2/5 complex is formed constitutively and is stable in the presence of receptor or forskolin stimulation. The complex formed by AC2/5 is also much more sensitive to the presence of Galpha(s) and forskolin than either of the parent AC isoforms themselves. Finally, we also show that this complex can be detected in native tissues as AC2 and AC5 were localized to the same structures in adult mouse ventricular myocytes and neonatal mouse cardiac fibroblasts and could be co-immunoprecipitated from lysates of mouse heart.

The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing worldwide, along with the associated common comorbidities of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in later life. Motivated by evidence for a strong genetic component, our prior genome-wide association study (GWAS) efforts for childhood obesity revealed 19 independent signals for the trait; however, the mechanism of action of these loci remains to be elucidated. To molecularly characterize these childhood obesity loci, we sought to determine the underlying causal variants and the corresponding effector genes within diverse cellular contexts.

Adenylate cyclase family members have recently received attention as novel therapeutic targets. However, the significance of adenylate cyclase 9 (ADCY9) in breast cancer has not been elucidated. Here, we evaluated expression in breast cancer (BC) cell lines, and polymerase chain reaction array analysis was performed to determine the correlations between expression levels and 84 tumor-associated genes.

This study aimed to analyze the impact of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of (encoding adenylate cyclase 3) on the outcome of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on body composition and screen genetic markers sensitive to HIIT in Chinese Han youth. A total of 237 non-regular exercise Han college students were recruited in a 12-week HIIT program, attending sessions 3 times a week. Before and after the HIIT program, their body composition was measured.

Oscillatory dynamics and their modulation are crucial for cellular decision-making; however, analysing these dynamics remains challenging. Here, we present a tool that combines the light-activated adenylate cyclase mPAC with the cAMP biosensor Pink Flamindo, enabling precise manipulation and real-time monitoring of cAMP oscillation frequencies in Dictyostelium. High-frequency modulation of cAMP oscillations induced cell aggregation and multicellular formation, even at low cell densities, such as a few dozen cells.

Breast cancer (BC) is a global health concern with a growing prevalence. Since BC is a heterogeneous cancer, transcriptome analyzes were carried out on breast tumor tissues relative to their corresponding normal tissues in order to identify gene expression signatures and perform meta-analysis. Five expression profiling by array data sets from breast tumor tissues and non-tumor neighboring tissues were retrieved following a search in the GEO database (GSE70947, GSE70905, GSE10780, GSE29044, and GSE42568).
