چکیده

The study of protein kinase in Dictyostelium discoideum has a tortuous history. The cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was first reported by Sampson [1]. Upon DEAE chromatography of cells starved for 2 h he found two cAMP-dependent and two cAMP-independent activities. Shortly thereafter reports by Veron and Patte [2] and Rahmsdorf and Gerisch [3] described protein kinase activity but no cAMP activation was reported. Leichtling et al. [4] demonstrated that bovine protein kinase catalytic subunit could be inhibited by the purified Dictyostelium cAMP binding protein. Recently Leichtling et al. [5] reported that DEAE chromatography can be used to demonstrate cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity when the substrate used is the synthetic heptapeptide, kemptide. Cyclic AMP is a central molecule in the developmental cycle of Dictyostelium. During aggregation it is the molecule which mediates the chemotactic response, and there is evidence that cAMP is also involved in the processes of cell differentiation [6-9]. Our efforts have been directed toward

Isolation and properties of a cyclic AMP-binding protein from Neurospora. Evidence for its role as the regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

A cyclic AMP-binding protein with a native molecular weight calculated to be 82,000 was purified 2,000-fold from Neurospora crassa. The apparent subunit molecular weight was 47,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting that the native protein exists as a dimer of identically sized subunits. The 8-N3-cyclic [32P]AMP-labeled protein appeared as a doublet upon tw...

Activation of hormone-sensitive lipase and phosphorylase kinase by purified cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase.

Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase, purified to homogeneity from bovine lung, was shown to activate hormone-sensitive lipase partially purified from chicken adipose tissue. The degree of activation was the same as that effected by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase although higher concentrations of the cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme were required (relative activities expressed in terms of histon...

Differential activation of type-I and type-II adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinases in liver of glucagon-treated rats.

The protein-bound cyclic AMP and the activity of cytosolic protein kinases in the presence and absence of cyclic AMP were determined in rat liver up to 2h after injection of glucagon. On the basis of the different salt-sensitivities of the activated cyclic AMP-dependent proteinkinases I and II, an activation of protein kinase II restricted to the high cyclic AMP concentrations present in the fi...

Cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase of human erythrocyte membranes.

A cyclic AMP (adenosine 3’, 5’-monophosphate)-dependent protein kinase has been found in membranes derived from human erythrocytes which accounts for greater than 70% of the total cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity of these cells. Components of the erythrocyte membranes were phosphorylated by membrane-bound protein kinase, but stimulation of the rate of phosphorylation by cyclic AMP w...

Total conversion of glycogen synthase from the I- to the D-form by a cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle.

A newly discovered cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase, which catalyzes the total conversion of glycogen synthase from the I- to the D-form, has been isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle. This enzyme, designated glycogen synthase kinase, is separable from cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase by column chromatography on phosphocellulose. Synthase kinase and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase a...
