A peptide-containing extract (PE) from Helix nervous system modifies the endogenous bursting pattern of electrical activity in Helix neurone F-1. This effect is similar to that induced in neuron F-1 by certain phosphodiesterase inhibitors and cAMP derivatives. The PE, and the vertebrate peptide hormones vasopressin and oxytocin, also cause an accumulation of cAMP in Helix ganglia in vitro. The factor in the PE which causes the cAMP accumulation is destroyed by Pronase, is lost on dialysis, and is stable to boiling. In all these respects it is identical to the factor which causes the change in neuronal electrical activity. The PE also stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in a crude membrane fraction prepared from Helix ganglion homogenates. This stimulation is abolished by prior dialysis of the PE, or pretreatment of the PE with pepsin, but is not affected by boiling of the PE. Pepsin-treated PE has no effect on electrical activity in neuron F-1. The adenylate cyclase-stimulating activity of the PE, like the factor which modifies neurone F-1 electrical activity, elutes in the void volume of a Sephadex G-10 column. The included volume of this column contains a factor which inhibits PE modification of neuronal electrical activity, and also inhibits both basal and PE-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. The data are consistent with the possibility that cAMP mediates the effects of the PE on electrical activity in molluscan neurones.
