The Ca(2+)-modulated ONE-GC membrane guanylate cyclase is a central component of the cyclic GMP signaling in odorant transduction. It is a single transmembrane spanning modular protein. Its intracellular region contains Ca(2+) sensor recognition domains linked to GCAP1 and to neurocalcin delta, and a catalytic module. These domains sense increments in free Ca(2+) and stimulate the catalytic module. The present study makes three significant mechanistic advancements. First, to date no ligand for the extracellular (ext) domain is known, for this reason ONE-GC has been deemed as an orphan receptor. The present study identifies its ligand. Uroguanylin stimulates ONE-GC through its ext domain. Second, so far no ligand is known that directly stimulates the catalytic module of any membrane guanylate cyclase. The presented evidence shows that in the presence of the semimicromolar range of free Ca(2+), neurocalcin binds to the catalytic module and stimulates ONE-GC. Thus, ONE-GC has trimodal regulation, two occurring intracellularly and one extracellularly. Third, guanylin, a urine odorant, does not directly stimulate ONE-GC. This challenges the proposed hypothesis that the guanylin odorant signal occurs via ONE-GC [T. Leinders-Zufall, R.E. Cockerham, S. Michalakis, M. Biel, D.L. Garbers, R.R. Reed, F. Zufall, S.D.
