Abstract
Free flow electrophoresis was employed to separate renal cortical plasma membranes into luminal (brush border microvilli) and contraluminal (basal-lateral membrane) fractions. During the separation adenylate cyclase activity was found to parallel the activity of Na+-K+-activated ATPase, an enzyme which is present in contraluminal but not in luminal membranes. In the basal-lateral membrane fraction the specific activities of adenylate cyclase and Na+-K+-activated ATPase were 4.4 and 4.6 times greater, respectively, than in the brush border fraction. The adenylate cyclase of the basal-lateral membrane fraction was specifically stimulated by parathyroid hormone which maximally increased enzyme activity eightfold. The biologically active (1-34) peptide fragment of paratyhroid hormone produced a 350% increase in adenylate cyclase activity. In contrast, calcitonin, epinephrine and vasopressin maximally stimulated the enzyme by only 55, 35 and 30%, respectively. These results indicate that adenylate cyclase, specifically stimulated by parathyroid hormone, is distributed preferentially in the contraluminal region of the plasma membrane of renal cortical epithelial cells.
