  • Title: [Effects of phospholipase A2 and alpha-tocopherol on the activity of adenylate cyclase of rat brain synaptosomes].
    Author: Gorbunov NV, Kuznetsova LA, Borin ML, Erin An.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1988 Oct; 106(10):438-40. PubMed ID: 3191233.
    Abstract:
    The action of phospholipase A2 and alpha-tocopherol on adenylate cyclase system functioning and on the lipid bilayer microviscosity of the rat brain synaptosome membranes was investigated. It was shown that the exposure of the synaptosomes to phospholipase A2 increases the adenylate cyclase activity stimulated by guanylyl imidotriphosphate (GITP), decreases the adenylate cyclase activity stimulated both by isoproterenol and by isoproterenol with GITP. The preincubation of synaptosomes in medium containing alpha-tocopherol does not change the character of the phospholipase action on the adenylate cyclase activity stimulated by isoproterenol but normalizes the adenylate cyclase activity stimulated both by GITP and by GITP with isoproterenol. In the last case the normalizing action of alpha-tocopherol is not caused by alteration of the microviscosity of the lipid bilayer. It appears to be due to the modification of the lipid-protein interactions of annular lipids with activated complex of catalytic subunit and guanyl nucleotide-binding protein.
