    Melatonin production: proteasomal proteolysis in serotonin N-acetyltransferase regulation (1998)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-03-21
    Description: The nocturnal increase in circulating melatonin in vertebrates is regulated by 10- to 100-fold increases in pineal serotonin N-acetyltransferase (AA-NAT) activity. Changes in the amount of AA-NAT protein were shown to parallel changes in AA-NAT activity. When neural stimulation was switched off by either light exposure or L-propranolol-induced beta-adrenergic blockade, both AA-NAT activity and protein decreased rapidly. Effects of L-propranolol were blocked in vitro by dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) or inhibitors of proteasomal proteolysis. This result indicates that adrenergic-cAMP regulation of AA-NAT is mediated by rapid reversible control of selective proteasomal proteolysis. Similar proteasome-based mechanisms may function widely as selective molecular switches in vertebrate neural systems.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gastel, J A -- Roseboom, P H -- Rinaldi, P A -- Weller, J L -- Klein, D C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Feb 27;279(5355):1358-60.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section on Neuroendocrinology, Laboratory of Developmental Neurobiology, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892-4480, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9478897" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Pineal serotonin N-acetyltransferase: expression cloning and molecular analysis (1995)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1995-12-08
    Description: Pineal serotonin N-acetyltransferase (arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase, or AA-NAT) generates the large circadian rhythm in melatonin, the hormone that coordinates daily and seasonal physiology in some mammals. Complementary DNA encoding ovine AA-NAT was cloned. The abundance of AA-NAT messenger RNA (mRNA) during the day was high in the ovine pineal gland and somewhat lower in retina. AA-NAT mRNA was found unexpectedly in the pituitary gland and in some brain regions. The night-to-day ratio of ovine pineal AA-NAT mRNA is less than 2. In contrast, the ratio exceeds 150 in rats. AA-NAT represents a family within a large superfamily of acetyltransferases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Coon, S L -- Roseboom, P H -- Baler, R -- Weller, J L -- Namboodiri, M A -- Koonin, E V -- Klein, D C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Dec 8;270(5242):1681-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section on Neuroendocrinology, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7502081" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
