Using single-channel recording, we have been able to obtain some insight into the molecular mechanism of a modulatory transmitter action in Aplysia sensory neurones. Our results show that serotonin produces a slow EPSP and increases action potential duration in the sensory neurones by producing prolonged closures of the S potassium channel. Such closures appear to be mediated by cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of a membrane protein which may be the channel. Modulation of S channels by serotonin also occurs in sensory neurone growth cones. This provides the first direct evidence that channel modulation occurs in nerve processes and increases the likelihood of channel modulation at the nerve terminal.

In T sensory neurones of the leech, a train of impulses elicited by intracellular electrical stimulation leads to an after-hyperpolarization of up to 30 mV, mainly due to the activation of the electrogenic Na+/K(+)-ATPase but partly to a Ca2(+)-activated K+ conductance. It was found that serotonin reversibly reduced the amplitude of this after-hyperpolarization. We investigated the mechanism of action of serotonin and found: (1) after inhibition of the Ca2(+)-activated K+ conductance with BaCl2 or CdCl2, serotonin was still able to reduce the after-hyperpolarization; (2) when penetration of T cells with microelectrodes leaking sodium was preceded by serotonin perfusion of the ganglia, the normal hyperpolarization due to the activation of the electrogenic pump was converted to a depolarization; (3) after long-lasting perfusion with K(+)-free saline solution (which inhibits the Na+/K+ pump), the application of CsCl caused repolarization by reactivating the electrogenic ATPase; serotonin slowed and reduced this repolarization; (4) serotonin potentiated the depolarization of T neurones caused by the inhibition of the Na+/K+ pump following cooling of ganglia and depressed the hyperpolarization after rewarming to room temperature. These data taken together suggest that serotonin directly inhibits the Na+/K+ electrogenic pump.

Many studies previously have shown that the B-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol and the a-adrenergic agonist norepinephrine will stimulate secretion by the adult rat submandibular (SMG) and parotid glands. Recent data from several laboratories indicates that adrenergic agonists bind to specific receptors on the secretory cell surface and stimulate membrane associated adenylate cyclase activity which generates cyclic AMP. The production of cyclic AMP apparently initiates a cascade of events which culminates in exocytosis. During recent studies in our laboratory it was observed that the adenylate cyclase activity in plasma membrane fractions derived from the prenatal and early neonatal rat submandibular gland was retractile to stimulation by isoproterenol but was stimulated by norepinephrine. In addition, in vitro secretion studies indicated that these prenatal and neonatal glands would not secrete peroxidase in response to isoproterenol but would secrete in response to norepinephrine. In contrast to these in vitro observations, it has been shown that the injection of isoproterenol into the living newborn rat results in secretion of peroxidase by the SMG (1).

The second messenger 3′,5′-cyclic nucleoside adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) plays a key role in signal transduction across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cyclic AMP signaling is compartmentalized into microdomains to fulfil specific functions. To define the function of cAMP within these microdomains, signaling needs to be analyzed with spatio-temporal precision. To this end, optogenetic approaches and genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors are particularly well suited. Synthesis and hydrolysis of cAMP can be directly manipulated by photoactivated adenylyl cyclases (PACs) and light-regulated phosphodiesterases (PDEs), respectively. In addition, many biosensors have been designed to spatially and temporarily resolve cAMP dynamics in the cell. This review provides an overview about optogenetic tools and biosensors to shed light on the subcellular organization of cAMP signaling.
