Abstract. Evidence from systems as diverse as mollusks, insects and mammals has revealed that adenylyl cyclase, cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP) cascade, cAMP-dependent protein kinases and their substrates are required for the cellular events underlying the short-term and long-term forms of memory. In Aplysia and Drosophila models, the coincident activation of independent paths converge to produce a synergistic activation of Ca2+/calmodulin-stimulable adenylyl cyclase, thereby…

Regulation of adenylyl cyclase 5 in striatal neurons confers the ability to detect coincident neuromodulatory signals
TLDR
A kinetic model is used to show how the specific molecular properties of AC5 can detect particular combinations of co-occuring transient changes in the neuromodulatory signals which thus result in a supralinear/synergistic cAMP production.
Regulation of adenylyl cyclase 5 in striatal neurons confers the ability to detect coincident neuromodulatory signals
TLDR
Some of the prerequisites for corticostriatal synaptic plasticity are revealed, and recent experimental data on cAMP concentrations following receptor activation is explained, and insights are provided into the regulatory mechanisms that control signal processing by different AC isoforms.
Inhibition by Calcium of Mammalian Adenylyl Cyclases*
TLDR
The present results show that high and low affinity inhibition by Ca2+ can be clearly distinguished and that the inhibition occurs type-specifically in discrete adenylyl cyclases.
Distinct Mechanisms of Regulation by Ca2+/Calmodulin of Type 1 and 8 Adenylyl Cyclases Support Their Different Physiological Roles*
TLDR
Different patterns of regulation and Ca2+ dependence of AC1 and AC8 seems to emanate from their mode of regulation by CaM, which may contribute significantly to the divergent physiological roles in which these ACs have been implicated.
Regulation and role of adenylyl cyclase isoforms.
TLDR
The present review deals with various aspects of regulations, emphasizing the role of calcium/calmodulin in activating AC1 and AC8 in the central nervous system, the potential inhibitory effect of calcium on AC5 and AC6, and the changes in the expression pattern of the isoforms during development.
Drosophila Middle-Term Memory: Amnesiac is Required for PKA Activation in the Mushroom Bodies, a Function Modulated by Neprilysin 1
TLDR
Drosophila amnesiac gene encodes a secreted neuropeptide whose expression is required for specific memory phases in the mushroom bodies (MB), the olfactory memory center, and the results suggest that Nep1 modulates Amnesiac levels.

Discrete expression of Ca2+/calmodulin‐sensitive and Ca2+ ‐insensitive adenylyl cyclases in the rat brain
TLDR
In situ hybridization analysis of the relative abundance and localization of these two species in the rat brain suggests that discrete roles may be fulfilled by the two adenylyl cyclases in neural tissues.
Biochemical studies of stimulus convergence during classical conditioning in Aplysia: dual regulation of adenylate cyclase by Ca2+/calmodulin and transmitter
TLDR
The dependence of cyclase activation on the temporal pattern of Ca2+ and transmitter addition is explored and it is suggested that the dually regulated adenylate cyclase might underlie the temporal requirements for effective classical conditioning in this system.
Temporal asymmetry in activation of Aplysia adenylyl cyclase by calcium and transmitter may explain temporal requirements of conditioning.

TLDR
The observed interactions between Ca2+ and transmitter in activating cyclase could contribute importantly to the temporal requirements of conditioning for CS-US pairing.
Impaired Cerebellar Long-Term Potentiation in Type I Adenylyl Cyclase Mutant Mice
Complexity and diversity of mammalian adenylyl cyclases.
TLDR
The discovery of new isoforms of mammalian adenylyl cyclase has revealed unanticipated mechanisms of regulation, including activation or inhibition by the G-protein beta gamma subunit complex, inhibition by G(o) alpha, inhibited by Ca2+, and phosphorylation by protein kinases C and A.
Type VIII adenylyl cyclase. A Ca2+/calmodulin-stimulated enzyme expressed in discrete regions of rat brain.
TLDR
A cDNA that encodes type VIII adenylyl cyclase has been isolated from two rat brain libraries and in situ hybridization indicates that the type VIII messages are most abundantly expressed in the granule cells of the dentate gyrus, the pyramidal cells of hippocampal fields CA1-CA3, the entorhinal cortex, and the piriform cortex.

Biochemical correlates of short-term sensitization in Aplysia: temporal analysis of adenylate cyclase stimulation in a perfused-membrane preparation.
TLDR
A perfused-membrane method is developed to analyze the time course of activation of adenylate cyclase by transient stimuli and indicates that the enzyme does not remain persistently active in the absence of transmitter and suggests that short-term retention is likely to be due to other mechanisms.
N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation increases cAMP levels and voltage-gated Ca 2 + channel activity in area CA 1 of hippocampus ( long-term potentiation / modulation / Schaffer coliateral / adenylyl cyclase / second messengers )
TLDR
The present studies demonstrate that LTP-inducing tetanic stimulation in rat hippocampal area CA1 elicited increased levels of cAMP and that a physiological consequence of increased cAMP is an increase in the activity of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels.
Altered behavior and long-term potentiation in type I adenylyl cyclase mutant mice.
TLDR
The results indicate that disruption of the gene for the type I adenylyl cyclase produces changes in behavior and that the cAMP signal transduction pathway may play an important role in synaptic plasticity.
