Calmodulin-activated, adenylate cyclase toxin, a virulence factor produced by the human respiratory pathogen Bordetella pertussis, elicits marked accumulation of cyclic AMP in cell lines from rat pituitary tumors. This effect is associated with and apparently responsible for an enhanced release of prolactin and/or growth hormone from GH3, GH4C1 and 235-1 cells. The utility of this novel toxin in probing cyclic AMP-mediated responses is supported by these observations and studies with pertussis and cholera toxins.
钙调蛋白激活的腺苷酸环化酶毒素是人类呼吸道病原体百日咳博德特氏菌产生的一种毒力因子,可在大鼠垂体肿瘤细胞系中引发环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)的显著积累。这种效应与GH3、GH4C1和235 - 1细胞中催乳素和/或生长激素释放增加有关,且显然是其原因。这些观察结果以及对百日咳毒素和霍乱毒素的研究支持了这种新型毒素在探究cAMP介导的反应中的效用。
