  • Title: Mg2+ and Mn2+ effects on membrane-bound and detergent-solubilized adenylate cyclase.
    Author: Drummond GI.
    Journal: Can J Biochem; 1981 Sep; 59(9):748-56. PubMed ID: 7317821.
    Abstract:
    Mg2+ and Mn2+ stimulation of basal, F-, and guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (GPP(NH)P) stimulated adenylate cyclase in particulate and detergent-solubilized preparations of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and erythrocytes was examined. Solubilization decreased the concentrations of Mg2+ required for half-maximal velocity and for saturation. Concentrations of Mn2+ required for saturation and for half-maximal velocity of particulate preparations was much lower than for Mg2+ and these values were not markedly reduced by solubilization. Particulate and soluble preparations were similarly stimulated by NaF and GPP(NH)P. Activation of the heart and skeletal muscle enzyme by NaF and GPP(NH)P greatly reduced the Mg2+ requirement; this was seen with both particulate and solubilized preparations. It is suggested that solubilization removes Mg2+ action at a regulatory site; MgATP and MnATP are both effective at the catalytic site, the latter producing higher Vmax.
