title: Adrenergic and serotonergic regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism in the rat: specificity of the serotonin- and isoproterenol-stimulable adenylyl cyclase in sarcolemma.
abstract: The specificity and kinetics of rat sarcolemmal serotonin- and isoproterenol-stimulable adenylyl cyclases were studied. The stimulation of adenylyl cyclase by serotonin was less than that by isoproterenol and required low concentrations of ATP (0.1 mM), 10 microM GTP, and free Mg ion concentrations of 10-20 microM. The isoproterenol-stimulated activity was readily detectable over a much wider range of MgCl2 (1.0-5.0 mM) and ATP (0.1-3.0 mM). (+/-)-Oxprenolol and l(-)-propranolol inhibited isoproterenol stimulation with KB values of 6.3 X 10(-9) M and 1.9 X 10(-9) M, respectively. Interference by (+/-)-cyproheptadine, (+/-)-methysergide and d(+)-propranolol was not strictly competitive. However, these were much more potent inhibitors of serotonin stimulation than were oxprenolol and l-propranolol. The concentrations of antagonists producing 50% inhibition (IC50) of the maximal adenylyl cyclase stimulation by serotonin were compared to the IC50 obtained with isoproterenol; the ratios were 0.02 for oxprenolol, 0.50 for l-propranolol, 295 for d-propranolol, 2438 for cyproheptadine, 578 for methysergide and greater than 125,000 for lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). These data indicate that rat skeletal muscle adenylyl is stimulated by discrete serotonergic and adrenergic receptors, and that there may be distinct conditions for optional stimulation.
