  • Title: Purification and characterisation of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, the C- and the R-protein from bovine liver.
    Author: Vogel M, Heinz F.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1981 Aug 28; 670(1):47-55. PubMed ID: 6268179.
    Abstract:
    A cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, its regulatory (R) and catalytic (C) protein were isolated from bovine liver, The cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase showed two protein bands on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with molecular weights of 54 000 and 40 000. They correspond to the data for the separately isolated R-and C-protein. The molecular weight of the holoenzyme ranged from 172 000-179 000, depending on the estimation method. The molecular weight of the R-protein ranged from 97 000-98 000. This, and the results of the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, demonstrates a dimeric structure. The frictional ratios (f/fo) of 1.67-1.7 for the holoenzyme and 1.9 for the R-protein correspond to highly asymmetric shapes. Assuming a prolate form, the axial ratios are 13-14 and 17, respectively. The C-protein is globular (f/fo 1.1-1.26, axial ratio 3-5). The secondary structure with 35% alpha-helix, 19% beta-sheet and 49% aperiodic form of the holoenzyme is similar to the R-protein with 35, 19 and 46%, respectively. The C-protein contains 29% alpha-helix, 21% beta-sheet and 50% aperiodic form. The dimeric R-protein binds 4 mol cyclic AMP and can be phosphorylated in the presence of the C-protein. An absorption coefficient, A280nm 1.0%, of 5.4 was calculated for the R-protein and of 13.6 for C-protein. The data for C-protein, e.g., molecular weight, heterogeneity in isoelectrofocusing, phosphate content, etc., are in good agreement with those found by Sudgen, P.H. and Corbin, J.D. (1976) biochem. J. 159, 423-437.
