    Abstract:
    Using affinity chromatography on 8-(2-aminoethyl)-amino-cAMP Sepharose, the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP: protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) from tissues of the prawn Palaemon adspersus was purified to homogeneity as demonstrated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The degree of enzyme purification was 11 200, recovery--6.5%; the isoelectric point for the enzyme lies at 5.5. Data from gel filtration and centrifugation in sucrose density gradient suggest that the dimer of cGMP-dependent protein kinase has a molecular weight of 157 000, sedimentation coefficient of 7.2S and a Stokes' radius of 50 A. An active form of the enzyme with Mr = 76 500 (4.5S, 39 A) which apparently represents a subunit of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase was discovered. The activity of the both enzyme forms are stimulated by low concentrations of cGMP (Ka = 1.10(-7) M). The monomer and dimer molecules appear as prolate ellipsoids with axial ratios close to 7. The native cGMP-dependent protein kinase is probably made up of two subunits each of which contains a regulatory and a catalytic sites.
