abstract = {Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) play a key role in many signaling
cascades. ACs catalyze the production of cyclic AMP from ATP
and this function is stimulated or inhibited by the binding
of their cognate stimulatory or inhibitory Gα subunits,
respectively. Here we used simulation tools to uncover the
molecular and subcellular mechanisms of AC function, with a
focus on the AC5 isoform, extensively studied
experimentally. First, quantum mechanical/molecular
mechanical free energy simulations were used to investigate
the enzymatic reaction and its changes upon point mutations.
Next, molecular dynamics simulations were employed to assess
the catalytic state in the presence or absence of Gα
subunits. This led to the identification of an inactive
state of the enzyme that is present whenever an inhibitory
Gα is associated, independent of the presence of a
stimulatory Gα. In addition, the use of coevolution-guided
multiscale simulations revealed that the binding of Gα
subunits reshapes the free-energy landscape of the AC5
enzyme by following the classical population-shift paradigm.
Finally, Brownian dynamics simulations provided forward rate
constants for the binding of Gα subunits to AC5, consistent
with the ability of the protein to perform coincidence
detection effectively. Our calculations also pointed to
strong similarities between AC5 and other AC isoforms,
including AC1 and AC6. Findings from the molecular
simulations were used along with experimental data as
constraints for systems biology modeling of a specific
AC5-triggered neuronal cascade to investigate how the
dynamics of downstream signaling depend on initial receptor
activation.},
