title: The stimulatory and inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding proteins of adenylate cyclase in erythrocytes from patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism type I.
abstract: Both the inhibitory and stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding proteins of the adenylate cyclase complex were measured in erythrocyte membranes from patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP). The inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Ni) of adenylate cyclase was measured by incorporation of [32P]ADP-ribose from [32P]NAD into the 39K subunit of Ni catalyzed by pertussis toxin. The ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of the toxin was expressed through incubation with dithiothreitol and erythrocyte membranes. Erythrocytes from 12 patients with PHP type I (PHP-I) had Ni values similar to those of 9 normal subjects and 2 patients with pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism. In 6 PHP-I patients, decreased activity of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Ns) of adenylate cyclase, as determined by reconstitution of adenylate cyclase in the Ns-deficient membranes of cyc-S49 cells, corresponded with the reduced degree of ADP-ribosylation of the 42K subunit of Ns catalyzed by cholera toxin. These data suggest that the defect of Ns results in reduced stimulation of adenylate cyclase in some PHP-I patients, and that enhanced inhibition of the enzyme due to an increase in the 39K subunit of Ni does not account for the biochemical lesion in PHP-I patients.
