Cloning and characterization of a sixth adenylyl cyclase isoform: types V and VI constitute a subgroup within the mammalian adenylyl cyclase family

Abstract

A sixth member of the mammalian adenylyl cyclase family has been isolated from a canine cardiac cDNA library. This isoform is more highly homologous to type V than to the other adenylyl cyclase types; sequence similarity is apparent even in the transmembrane regions where the greatest divergence among the types exists. Type VI mRNA expression is most abundant in heart and brain; however, unlike type V, a low level of expression is also observed in a variety of other tissues examined. Type VI adenylyl cyclase can be stimulated by NaF, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, and forskolin but not by Ca2+/calmodulin, whereas it is inhibited by adenosine and its analogues. Comparison of both their structural and biochemical properties suggests that types V and VI constitute a distinct subgroup of the mammalian adenylyl cyclase family.
