| Abstract | In animals of different phylogenetic levels, polycationic peptides are one of the most important regulators of the functional activities of hormonal signaling systems, including the adenylate cyclase signaling system (AC system). We compared the functional state of the AC system in the rat brain after treatment with three synthetic polycationic peptides (C-ɛAhx-YKAKKKKKKKWK (I), CK(C$_{10}$)-ɛAhx-YKAKKKKKKKWK (II), and (NH$_{2}$)$_{64}$(K)$_{32}$(K)$_{16}$(K)$_{8}$(K)$_{4}$(K)$_{2}$KA (III)) and the peptide toxin mastoparan, which do not have homology to signaling proteins, and the synthetic polycationic peptides ARERKATKTL$^{255–264}$K (IV) and HSRKALKASL$^{306–315}$K (V), which are derivatives of the C-terminal domains of the third cytoplasmic loop of the 1B and 6 serotonin receptors (SR). We found that the peptides I, II, and III stimulated heterotrimeric G-proteins of both the stimulating (G$_{s}$) and inhibiting (G$_{i}$) type, peptide IV and, mastoparan predominantly affected G$_{i}$-proteins, and peptide V mainly activated G$_{s}$-proteins. Peptides II and V stimulated basal AC activity, while mastoparan and peptides III and IV inhibited the forskolin-stimulated activity of the enzyme. The serotonin-induced stimulation of AC strongly decreased in the presence of peptide V, a derivative of SR of the sixth type coupled with G$_{s}$-proteins (the efficacy of the inhibitory effect of the peptides was V > II > III > IV ≅ mastoparan ≅ I). Inhibition of the AC system by serotonin decreased in the presence of peptide IV, a derivative of 1B SR coupled with G$_{i}$-proteins (the efficacy of inhibition was IV > III ≅ mastoparan > II ≥ I ≅ V). Inhibition of AC by the D$_{2}$-agonist bromocriptine strongly decreased in the presence of mastoparan and peptide III, and peptide IV was less active (mastoparan ≥ III > IV > II > I ≅ V). Among the polycationic peptides studied peptides IV and V and SR derivatives caused the strongest inhibition of serotonin-stimulated GTP binding and specific binding of the hormone with membranes, and their effect was observed at a concentration of 10$^{−6}$ M. Thus, in contrast to polycationic peptides that have no homology with signal proteins, the polycationic peptides and SR derivatives selectively affected the functional state of the AC system regulated by serotonin in the rat brain and transmission of hormonal signals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
