Abstract

Studies of the hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase system have resulted in the discovery of two distinct guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins, Gs and Gi (Ross & Gilman, 1980; Gilman, 1984; Smigel et al., 1984). Stimulation of adenylate cyclase by a wide variety of activators, including peptide hormones, biogenic amines, prostaglandins, cholera toxin, fluoride, and nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues (e.g. GTPĪ³S, Gpp(NH)p), is absolutely dependent on Gs. More recently, it has been demonstrated that hormonal inhibition of adenylate cyclase is mediated by a similar but distinct membrane-bound protein, Gi.
