The calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclases (ACs) play a
central role in stimulus-dependent modification of synaptic function. The type VIII AC (AC8) is one of three mammalian calcium-stimulated isoforms, each of which is expressed in a region-specific manner in the
CNS. To delineate the DNA sequences responsible for appropriate targeting of AC8 expression, we report here the complete structure of
the AC8 gene and define the pattern of expression of the full-length cDNA and its splice variants. In addition to expression within the
brain, robust expression of AC8 was also found in the lung. By
in situ hybridization, we have found the highest
expression of AC8 mRNA within the olfactory bulb, thalamus, habenula,
cerebral cortex, and hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular
nuclei. By generating transgenic mice whose expression of
-galactosidase is controlled by the AC8 5'-flanking DNA sequences,
we demonstrate that the DNA sequences within the 10 kb preceding exon 1 are critical for establishment of this region-specific pattern. This
spectrum of sites of production is unique to AC8 among the
calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclases and suggests nonredundant
functions with other adenylyl cyclases in neuroendocrine regulation
and/or behavior.
