Résumé : Cyclic AMP is produced in cells by two different types of adenylyl cyclases: at the plasma membrane by the transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs, ADCY1~ADCY9) and in the cytosol by the evolutionarily more conserved soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC, ADCY10). By employing high-resolution extracellular flux analysis in HepG2 cells to study glycogen breakdown in real time, we showed that cAMP regulates glycogen metabolism in opposite directions depending on its location of synthesis within cells and the downstream cAMP effectors. While the canonical tmAC-cAMP-PKA signaling promotes glycogenolysis, we demonstrate here that the non-canonical sAC-cAMP-Epac1 signaling suppresses glycogenolysis. Mechanistically, suppression of sAC-cAMP-Epac1 leads to Ser-15 phosphorylation and thereby activation of the liver-form glycogen phosphorylase to promote glycogenolysis. Our findings highlight the importance of cAMP microdomain organization for distinct metabolic regulation and establish sAC as a novel regulator of glycogen metabolism.
