In crude membrane fractions of rat pancreatic islets and of RIN-A2-cells, forskolin and NaF stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. Basal and stimulated enzyme activity was approximately 3 to 6 fold higher in membranes of RIN-A2-cells than in membranes of islet cells. In RIN-A2-cells GppNHp and NEM inhibited forskolin-stimulated enzyme activity. The inhibitory effect of GppNHp could be reduced by NEM. It is suggested that the adenylate cyclase system of RIN-A2-cells contains inhibitory and stimulatory N-proteins and that there are critical thiols related to Ni, Ns and/or the catalytic unit. Thus, membrane fractions of RIN-A2-cells may be an appropriate model for studies on the adenylate cyclase system of insulin-producing cells.
