The increase in [cAMP] that activates the V‐ATPase translocation also stops itby activating AMPK through an increase in [AMP] due to cAMP degradation. (Prof. Lonny Levin’s idea)
In this way, the sAC‐cAMP‐PKA pathway contains an inbuilt switch to automatically turn off the translocation process it started.
Hypothesis
![Page 10: cAMP mediated of pH Homeostasis - Cornell University](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012219/61e000cad0b2df4ea4187fae/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Model Objectives
Is our hypothesis plausible?
If yes, use the model to gain insights into the details of how activation of the bicarbonate‐sAC‐cAMP pathway starts and stops the V‐ATPase translocation.
If yes, use the model to guide experiments.

1. Is our hypothesis plausible?
![Page 22: cAMP mediated of pH Homeostasis - Cornell University](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012219/61e000cad0b2df4ea4187fae/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Initial condition
[ATP]=225 uM, [PDE]=0.5 uM, inactive [PKA]=0.5 uM, *Initial concentrations of all other species = 0
Starting from the initial conditions, the model is run till the system reaches equilibrium, which sets the modeled system to its basal values.
The model, if working properly, should equilibrate to physiological values for the concentration of the chemical species. Further, the concentrations should be in the regime that would be relevant to the function of interest.

Equilibration Run
![Page 23: cAMP mediated of pH Homeostasis - Cornell University](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012219/61e000cad0b2df4ea4187fae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Sustained near‐maximal bicarbonate stimulus increases [AMP] to the upper end of the [AMP] regime in which AMP can impact AMPK activation
[ATP]~ 200 uM regime [ATP]~ 2000 uM regime
From now on, I will show the figures for the [ATP]~ 200 uM regime only, but the conclusions apply to the 2000 uM regime as well.
In this regime, [AMP] can impact AMPK activation till about [AMP]=50 uM,based on the Hill equation involved
The stimulus is modeled by a two‐fold increase in Vmax of sAC
![Page 26: cAMP mediated of pH Homeostasis - Cornell University](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012219/61e000cad0b2df4ea4187fae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In response to sustained bicarbonate stimulus, active [PKA] first rises and then [AMP], thus giving a time window in which
V‐ATPases are phosphorylated by PKA and can translocate
“PKA” in the figure axis refers to active PKA
In my model, the PKA remains high as long as the bicarbonate level is high. After the luminal pH and the intracellular bicarbonate concentration goes down back to its basal level, the system will reset to its basal level.

So far…
Our hypothesis is plausible
‐The system is working in the right regime of [AMP]
‐With increased pH, the model predicts an increase in time window between start and stop of V‐ATPase translocation.

Saturating concentration of Rolipram activates PKA but does not increase [AMP] (actually, it results in a transient decrease in [AMP])
Virtual Experiment: At time 0, apply 10 uM of Rolipram‐‐ a specific inhibitor of PDE4
Rolipram is modeled by an increase in the Km for the cAMP‐PDE reaction asKm_inhibited=Km*(1+[rolipram]/KI), with a KI=0.09 uM

Response to a bicarbonate‐induced two‐fold increase in basal inhibited sAC Vmax
Pre‐perfusion with sAC inhibitor impairs AMP response to the bicarbonate stimulus

Summary…
Our hypothesis is plausible
‐The system is working in the right regime of [AMP]
‐With increased pH, the model predicts an increase in time window between start and stop of V‐ATPase translocation.
Our conclusion is robust to the choice of PDE isoform is the model
We have used the model to suggest a wet‐lab experiment to test the model boundary and estimate contributions of other mechanisms towards stopping the V‐ATPase translocation
The AMP response is sensitive to the Vmax of sAC, but not to Km of PDE

Implications of the Study (Once Completed)
‐For the first time, the study may connect the canonical Adenylyl cyclase‐cAMP pathway from the cAMP signaling field and the canonical AMP pathwayfrom the metabolic field
‐If successful, the study would provide insights into the regulation of V‐ATPasemediated pH homeostasis, and associated diseased states such as alkalosisand male infertility.
