Hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase contains a recently discovered protein component that is required for stimulation of cAMP synthesis by hormones and guanine nucleotides; the component presumably couples the membrane receptor to the cyclase. This protein (termed N) was studied in erythrocyte membranes of patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism, using assays of the protein''s biochemical activity and of its susceptibility to radiolabeling in the presence of [32P]NAD and cholera toxin. By both assays, the protein''s activity was reduced by 40-50% in erythrocytes of 5 of 10 patients with Type 1 pseudohypoparathyroidism as compared with those of normal and hypoparathyroid subjects and 1 patient with Type 11 pseudohypoparathyroidism. If activity of the N protein is reduced in other tissues, this deficiency could cause the resistance of target organs in pseudohypoparathyroidism to parathyroid hormone and other hormones that work via cAMP. Erythrocytes of 5 patients with Type 1 pseudohypoparathyroidism, all in 1 family, showed no defect in activity of the N protein; the biochemical defect of this family remains undefined.
