The effects of histamine, Nalpha-dimethylhistamine, 4,5-methylhistamine, Ntau-methylhistamine, pentagastrin, carbachol, and NaF on the adenylate cyclase activity from canine gastric mucosa were investigated in cell-free preparations. In gastric fundic mucosa, histamine (10(-4) M), Nalpha-dimethylhistamine (10(-4) M), 4,5-methylhistamine (10(-4 M), and NaF (10)-2) M) significantly (P less than 0.001) increased adenylate cyclase activity (means+/-SE) by 44.7+/-6.6, 49.4+/-6.7, 34.0+/-6.4, and 572.0+/-100%, respectively, above basal activity. The effect of histamine and Na-dimethyl histamine was dose-dependent. In contrast, other tested agents failed to stimulate the formation of cyclic AMP in gastric fundic mucosa. Metiamide (10(-4) M) blocked the stimulation of fundic mucosa adenylate cyclase by histamine and Nalpha-dimethylhistamine, without significantly altering basal and NaF-induced adenylate cyclase activity. Histamine, however, did not stimulate the adenylate cyclase activity from the gastric antral mucosa. The findings support the proposal that the canine gastric acid response to histamine may be mediated by cyclic AMP formed in response to stimulation of histamine H2-receptors.

The adenylate cyclase system of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains many proteins, including the CYR1 polypeptide, which is responsible for catalyzing the formation of cyclic AMP from ATP, RAS1 and RAS2 polypeptides, which mediate stimulation of cyclic AMP synthesis by guanine nucleotides, and the yeast GTPase-activating protein analog IRA1. We have previously reported that adenylate cyclase is only peripherally bound to the yeast membrane. We have concluded that IRA1 is a strong candidate for a protein involved in anchoring adenylate cyclase to the membrane. We base this conclusion on the following criteria: (i) a disruption of the IRA1 gene produced a mutant with very low membrane-associated levels of adenylate cyclase activity, (ii) membranes made from these mutants were incapable of binding adenylate cyclase in vitro, (iii) IRA1 antibodies inhibit binding of adenylate cyclase to the membrane, and (iv) IRA1 and adenylate cyclase comigrate on Sepharose 4B.
