Direct effects of adenosine on adipocyte and hepatic adenylate cyclase have been demonstrated in an assay system where adenosine is not generated. The substrate used, 2'-deoxy ATP may, on metabolism, only give rise to 2'-deoxyadenosine, which does not act at adenosine receptors. With a slight modification of existing assay techniques this assay system has been used to detect a hitherto undiscovered adenosine receptor on liver plasma membranes, which is antagonised by methylxanthines and which stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in a GTP-dependent manner. The potent inhibitory effects of purine-modified adenosine analogs on fat cell adenylate cyclase are reproduced by adenosine in this assay system. An application of this approach to the study of adenylate cyclase not only simplifies detection of the role of adenosine, but also yields insights into the interaction between guanine nucleotides and hormones.
