Preparations of this enzyme invade animal cells, causing elevations inintracellular cAMP levels. Cell-associated adenylate cyclase accounted for 28% of the total adenylatecyclase activity while 72% was released into the culture supernatant. Over 90% of the cell-associated adenylate cyclase activity was sensitive to trypsin treatment of whole cells, indicating that the catalytic domain of theenzyme is localized on the outer surface of the bacterial cells. Enzyme activity was released from whole cells by treatment with SDS. This activity was resolved as a large form (Mr 215 000) by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In contrast, the culture supernatant contained only the 45 000-dalton catalytic subunit. Enzyme activity released from spheroplasts by sonication was resolved into a large form (Mr 215 000) and a small form (Mr 45 000). The appearance of the small form with spheroplast formation was probably the result of proteolytic degradation. Antibodies generated against the catalytic subunit purified from culture supernatants cross-reacted with and immunoprecipitated both the large and small forms of adenylate cyclase isolated from bacterial cells. Furthermore, incubation of the cell-associated enzyme with a crude bacterial extract resulted in a time-dependent disappearance of the 215 000-dalton form and a concomitant increase in the amount of the smaller 45 000-dalton form. There was also a parallel increase in the ability of the cell-associated preparation to elevate intracellular cAMP levels in N1E-115 mouse neuroblastoma cells. On the basis of these data, we propose that the adenylate cyclase produced by B. pertussis is synthesized as a large precursor molecule (Afr 215 000) and transported to the outer membrane of the bacteria where it is proteolytically processed to a smaller invasive form (Mr 45 000) that is released into the culture supernatant.Bordetella pertussis releases severalfactors into its growth media, including a calmodulin (CaM)'-sensitive adenylate cyclase, that may contribute to the clinical manifestations of whooping cough [for reviews, see Weiss and Hewlett (1986) and Masure et al.(1987)]. Various preparations of this en-zyme have been shown to elevate cAMP levels in several types of eucaryotic cells (Confer & Eaton, 1982; Hanski & Farfel, 1985; Shattuck & Storm, 1985; Selfe et al., 1987). Extracts from both whole bacteria and cell-freeculture supernatants have been shown to contain invasive adenylate cyclase (Confer & Eaton, 1982; Hanski & Farfel, 1985; Shattuck & Storm, 1985).
