Catecholamine and guanine nucleotide activation of skeletal muscle adenylate cyclase.
Activation of adenylate cyclase by guanine nucleotide and catecholamines was examined in plasma membranes prepared from rabbit skeletal muscle. The GTP analog, 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate caused a time and temperature-dependent activation of the enzyme which was persistent, the Ka was 0.05 microM. 5'-Guanylyl imidodiphosphate binding to the membranes was time and temperature dependent, KD 0.07 microM. Beta adrenergic amines accelerated the rate of 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate activation of the enzyme with an order of potency isoproterenol approximately soterenol approximately salbutamol greater than epinephrine greater than norephrine. Catecholamine activation was antagonized by propranolol and the beta2 antagonist butoxamine; the beta1 antagonist practolol was inactive. [3H]Dihydroalprenolol bound to the membranes and binding was antagonized by beta adrenergic agonists with an order of potency similar to the activation of adenylate cyclase and was antagonized by butoxamine but not by practolol. The data are consistent with the idea that adenylate cyclase in skeletal muscle plasma membranes is coupled to adrenergic receptors of the beta2 type.
