Vasotocin-Sensitive Adenylate Cyclase in Frog Glomeruli
General and Comparative Endocrinology(1995)
摘要
Adenylate cyclase sensitivity to neurohypophyseal hormones was investigated in isolated glomeruli and in nephron segments microdissected from collagenase-treated kidneys of Rana ridibunda. Vasotocin treatment increased adenylate cyclase activity in glomeruli and in collecting ducts and did not modify it in proximal convoluted tubules and in early and late distal tubules. In glomeruli, the hormonal stimulation resulted mainly in a decrease in the Km value for adenylate cyclase, which means a higher affinity for substrate (ATP) to the enzyme, whereas the response to forskolin was accounted for by increase both in affinity for substrate and in maximal adenylate cyclase velocity. The hormologous neurohypophyseal hormones stimulated frog glomerular adenylate cyclase with the following rank order of affinities: hydrin 1 ⩾ AVT = AVP ⩾ hydrin 2 > OT ⩾ mesotocin > isotocin; structural analogies dDAVP, VDAVP, dVDAVP, and [Phe2,Orn8]VT had weak agonistic properties, [Thr4,Gly7]OT was inactive, and antogonist OVTA, d(CH2)5Tyr(Et)2VAVP, and des-Gly9-d(CH2)5Tyr(Et)2VAVP inhibited hormone-induced enzyme activation with similar apparent inhibition constants. The vasotocin receptors triggering adenylate cyclase stimulation in frog glomeruli differ pharmacologically from V2 vasopressin receptors of mammalian kidneys and may also differ from V2-like vasotocin receptors of amphibian skin and urinary bladder.
