In the olfactory bulb, muscarinic receptors exert a bimodal control on cyclic AMP, enhancing basal and Gs-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activities and inhibiting the Ca2+/calmodulin- and forskolin-stimulated enzyme activities. In the present study, we investigated the involvement of G protein betagamma subunits by examining whether the muscarinic responses were reproduced by the addition of betagamma subunits of transducin (betagamma(t)) and blocked by putative betagamma scavengers. Membrane incubation with betagamma(t) caused a stimulation of basal adenylyl cyclase activity that was not additive with that produced by carbachol. Like carbachol, betagamma(t) potentiated the enzyme stimulations elicited by vasoactive intestinal peptide and corticotropin-releasing hormone. RT-PCR analysis revealed the expression of mRNAs encoding both type II and type IV adenylyl cyclase, two isoforms stimulated by betagamma synergistically with activated Gs. In addition, betagamma(t) inhibited the Ca2+/calmodulin- and forskolin-stimulated enzyme activities, and this effect was not additive with that elicited by carbachol. Membrane incubation with either one of two betagamma scavengers, the GDP-bound form of the alpha subunit of transducin and the QEHA fragment of type II adenylyl cyclase, reduced both the stimulatory and inhibitory effects of carbachol. These data provide evidence that in rat olfactory bulb the dual regulation of cyclic AMP by muscarinic receptors is mediated by betagamma subunits likely acting on distinct isoforms of adenylyl cyclase.
