ARL10 Activators function through various biochemical mechanisms to enhance its activity, with a notable influence being exerted through the modulation of cyclic AMP levels. Activation of adenylyl cyclase through direct agonism or inhibition of cAMP degradation leads to a surge in cAMP, which subsequently activates PKA. PKA can phosphorylate a range of proteins, and in this context, it is implicated in the phosphorylation that amplifies ARL10 activity. Furthermore, the use of a non-hydrolyzable GTP analog suggests an engagement with GTP-binding proteins, potentially intensifying the intrinsic GTPase activity of ARL10. The strategic inhibition of PKA can also serve as an indirect confirmation of the kinase's role in activating ARL10. When PKA activity is inhibited and then reversed, the consequential changes in ARL10 activity may affirm its dependence on PKA-mediated phosphorylation.
Additional mechanisms involve modulating intracellular conditions that are conducive to the optimal functioning of ARL10. For instance, lysosomal alkalinization through weak bases could affect ARL10's localization, thereby influencing its activity within cellular compartments where it exerts its function. The increase in intracellular zinc concentration through the use of an ionophore can affect GTPase activity, which aligns with the biochemical nature of ARL10, potentially leading to its enhanced functional state. The antagonism of specific G-protein-coupled receptors can cause downstream alterations in G-protein signaling, which might culminate in the modulation of ARL10 activity.
