          Abstract

          We have previously reported that phosphorylation of adenylyl cyclase type VI (AC6) may result in the suppression of adenylyl cyclase activity during desensitization of the A2a-adenosine receptor-mediated cAMP response (A2a desensitization) in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. In the present study, we demonstrate that protein kinase C (PKC) is responsible for the phosphorylation and inhibition of AC6 during A2a desensitization. Inhibition of PKC by several independent methods markedly blocked the suppression of AC6 during A2a desensitization. Purified PKC from rat brain directly phosphorylated and inhibited recombinant AC6 expressed in Sf21 cells. Substantially lower AC6 activities were also observed in PC12 cells overexpressing PKCdelta or PKCepsilon. Stimulation of A2a-R in PC12 cells under the same conditions as those required for A2a desensitization resulted in an increase in Ca2+-independent PKC activity. Most importantly, exogenous PKC did not further suppress AC6 activity in A2a-desensitized membranes. In vitro PKC phosphorylation of AC6 isolated from A2a-desensitized cells was also profoundly lower than that from control cells, suggesting a specific role for PKC in regulating AC6 during A2a desensitization in PC12 cells. Taken together, our data demonstrate that a calcium-independent, novel PKC inhibits AC6 activity during A2a desensitization in PC12 cells. Independent regulation of AC6 by calcium-independent PKC and by Ca2+ provides an exquisite mechanism for integrating signaling pathways to fine-tune cAMP synthesis.
