Abstract
The chemotactic response of cells to graded fields of chemical cues is a complex process that requires the coordination of several intracellular activities. Fundamental steps to obtain a front vs. back differentiation in the cell are the localized distribution of internal molecules and the amplification of the external signal. The goal of this work is to develop a mathematical and computational model for the quantitative study of such phenomena in the context of axon chemotactic pathfinding in neural development. In order to perform turning decisions, axons develop front-back polarization in their distal structure, the growth cone. Starting from the recent experimental findings of the biased redistribution of receptors on the growth cone membrane, driven by the interaction with the cytoskeleton, we propose a model to investigate the significance of this process. Our main contribution is to quantitatively demonstrate that the autocatalytic loop involving receptors, cytoplasmic species and cytoskeleton is adequate to give rise to the chemotactic behavior of neural cells. We assess the fact that spatial bias in receptors is a precursory key event for chemotactic response, establishing the necessity of a tight link between upstream gradient sensing and downstream cytoskeleton dynamics. We analyze further crosslinked effects and, among others, the contribution to polarization of internal enzymatic reactions, which entail the production of molecules with a one-to-more factor. The model shows that the enzymatic efficiency of such reactions must overcome a threshold in order to give rise to a sufficient amplification, another fundamental precursory step for obtaining polarization. Eventually, we address the characteristic behavior of the attraction/repulsion of axons subjected to the same cue, providing a quantitative indicator of the parameters which more critically determine this nontrivial chemotactic response.

Abstract
The N-terminal regulatory region of the high affinity cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, PDE7A1, contains two copies of the cAMP-dependent kinase (PKA) pseudosubstrate site RRGAI. In betaTC3 insulinoma cells, PDE7A1 co-localizes with PKA II in the Golgi-centrosome region. The roles PDE7A1 and its regulatory region play in cAMP signaling were examined by studying interactions with PKA subunits. PDE7A1 associates with the dissociated C subunit of PKA (C), but does not bind tetrameric PKA holoenzyme. High affinity binding of C by PDE7A1 inhibits kinase activity in vitro (IC50 = 0.5 nm). The domain containing PKA pseudosubstrate sites at the N terminus of PDE7A1 mediates complex formation with C. The PDE7A1 N-terminal repeat region inhibits C activity in CHO-K1 cells and also suppresses C dependent, cAMP-independent, physiological responses in yeast. Thus, PDE7A1 possesses a non-catalytic activity that can contribute to the termination of cAMP signals via direct inhibition of C. This study identifies a novel inhibitor of PKA and a non-catalytic affect of a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

Abstract
Using small-angle x-ray scattering, we have observed the cGMP-induced elongation of an active, cGMP-dependent, monomeric deletion mutant of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (Delta(1-52)PKG-I beta). On saturation with cGMP, the radius of gyration of Delta(1-52)PKG-I beta increases from 29.4 +/- 0.1 A to 40.1 +/- 0.7 A, and the maximum linear dimension increases from 90 A +/- 10% to 130 A +/- 10%. The elongation is due to a change in the interaction between structured regulatory (R) and catalytic (C) domains. A model of cGMP binding to Delta(1-52)PKG-I beta indicates that elongation of Delta(1-52)PKG-I beta requires binding of cGMP to the low-affinity binding site of the R domain. A comparison with cAMP-dependent protein kinase suggests that both elongation and activation require cGMP binding to both sites; cGMP binding to the low-affinity site therefore seems to be a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for both elongation and activation of Delta(1-52)PKG-I beta. We also predict that there is little or no cooperativity in cGMP binding to the two sites of Delta(1-52)PKG-I beta under the conditions used here. Results obtained by using the Delta(1-52)PKG-I beta monomer indicate that a previously observed elongation of PKG-I alpha is consistent with a pure change in the interaction between the R domain and the C domain, without alteration of the dimerization interaction. This study has revealed important features of molecular mechanisms in the biochemical network describing PKG-I beta activation by cGMP, yielding new insight into ligand activation of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases, a class of regulatory proteins that is key to many cellular processes.

Abstract
Previous neutron scattering studies elaborated the topographical relationship of the regulatory (R(IIalpha)) and catalytic (C(alpha)) subunits of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. We present here the results of a set of computations that lead to an atomic model of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase heterodimer, Delta(1-91)R(IIalpha)-C(alpha). The first step in the modeling utilized the crystal structures for the porcine C(alpha) and bovine Delta(1-90)R(Ialpha) or rat Delta(1-111)R(IIbeta), to homology-model structures of the species and isoforms that had been used in the neutron scattering experiments (bovine C(alpha) subunit and murine Delta(1-91)R(IIalpha) subunit, respectively). A docking procedure, constrained by the dimensions and positions of the ellipsoids in the neutron-derived R-C model as well as mutagenesis data, was used to develop "best fit" models for the heterodimer. Simulated annealing, molecular dynamics, and energy minimization were then used to refine the side chain packing at the heterodimer interface. For comparison, the calculations were done using the homology models derived from both the R(Ialpha) and R(IIbeta) crystal structures. Both resultant models had many similarities. Each predicted similar interfaces. The R(Ialpha)-based model has 25% more hydrogen bonds than that based on R(IIbeta), with seven of these potential bonds in common. The distribution of hydrophobic, polar, and charged residues at the interface was similar for both models, with a distribution more characteristic of the exposed surface residues than those in the protein interior. The calculated interface area in each is relatively small (<2000 A(2)). The R(Ialpha)-based model, however, has a significantly better fit with the scattering data and is therefore the one of distinctly higher probability. With its small interface area that has a high proportion of charged and polar residues, the complex appears poised for dissociation, and each subunit existing as a stable entity. This result is consistent with the known physiological events required for cAMP-dependent activation of the kinase.

Abstract
Chimeric molecules of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) holoenzyme (R2C2) and of a Delta1-91RC dimer were reconstituted using deuterated regulatory (R) and protiated catalytic (C) subunits. Small angle scattering with contrast variation has revealed the shapes and dispositions of R and C in the reconstituted complexes, leading to low resolution models for both forms. The crystal structures of C and a truncation mutant of R fit well within the molecular boundaries of the RC dimer model. The area of interaction between R and C is small, seemingly poised for dissociation upon a conformational transition within R induced by cAMP binding. Within the RC dimer, C has a "closed" conformation similar to that seen for C with a bound pseudosubstrate peptide. The model for the PKA holoenzyme has an extended dumbbell shape. The interconnecting bar is formed from the dimerization domains of the R subunits, arranged in an antiparallel configuration, while each lobe contains the cAMP-binding domains of one R interacting with one C. Our studies suggest that the PKA structure may be flexible via a hinge movement of each dumbbell lobe with respect to the dimerization domain. Sequence comparisons suggest that this hinge might be a property of the RII PKA isoforms.

Abstract
The species-dependent compartmentation of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA I) and its dissociated regulatory subunit (RI) was examined in the heart by biochemical and immunohistochemical means. PKA I and RI were resolved from type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase and its regulatory subunit by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography of the supernatant and Triton X-100 soluble particulate fractions of heart homogenates. The relative amounts of holoenzymes and subunits were determined by cAMP-binding, protein kinase, 8-N3-[32P]cAMP photoaffinity labeling, and Western blot assays. Rat, rabbit, and guinea pig hearts all contained PKA I to varying degrees, but only in the supernatant fractions. Significant amounts of dissociated RI were found in the supernatant fractions, and to a lesser extent the particulate fractions, of these species. In contrast, though no PKA I was detected in the supernatant or particulate fractions of pig and beef heart, half of the cAMP-binding activity in the particulate fraction was attributed to RI. The results suggest that RI may associate with membrane fractions when it is not associated with the PKA catalytic subunit. Immunohistochemical studies of tissue sections from pig, beef, and rat cardiac ventricle using antibodies directed against RI also revealed species-dependent localization of RI. Cardiac myocyte intercalated discs were stained in pig and beef sections with additional sarcolemmal staining in beef sections. Rat ventricle, which contained large amounts of supernatant PKA I, showed nuclear staining. The localization of RI to cardiac myocyte intercalated discs and sarcolemma in certain species suggests a role(s) for this subunit in mediating cAMP-regulated events in these regions.

Abstract
The consensus substrate site for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is Arg-Arg-Xaa-Ser(P)-Xaa and the autoinhibitory domain of the PKA type I alpha regulatory subunit (RI subunit) contains a similar sequence, Arg92-Arg-Arg-Arg-Gly-Ala-Ile-Ser-Ala-Glu. The italicized amino acids form a putative pseudosubstrate site (Ser is replaced with Ala), which together with adjacent residues could competitively inhibit substrate phosphorylation by the PKA catalytic subunit (C subunit). The present studies determine the contributions of Arg92-95, Ile98, and Glu101 to inhibitory potency. Amino-terminal truncation of RI subunit through Arg92 (delta1-92) or Arg93 (delta1-93) had no detectable effect on inhibition of C subunit. Truncation through Arg94 (delta1-94), or point mutation of Arg95 within truncated mutants (delta1-93.R95A or delta1-92.R95A), caused a dramatic reduction in inhibitory potency. Truncation through Arg95 (delta1-95) had a greater effect than did replacement or deletion of Arg94 or Arg95 alone. Using full-length RI subunit, the inhibitory potency was reduced by replacing Ile98 with Ala, Gly, or Gln, but not by replacing it with Val. The inhibitory potency of RI subunit was unchanged when Glu101 was replaced with Ala or Gln. It is concluded that Arg94, Arg95 and, to a lesser extent, Ile98 are vital constituents of PKA autoinhibition by type I alpha R subunit.

Abstract
A 14.4-kDa cAMP-binding fragment was generated during bacterial expression and purification of recombinant bovine cAMP-dependent protein kinase type I alpha regulatory subunit (RI alpha). The full-length RI alpha from which the fragment was derived contained a point mutation allowing its B domain to bind both cAMP and cGMP with high affinity while leaving its A domain highly cAMP selective. The NH2 terminus of the fragment was Ser-252, indicating that it encompassed the entire predicted B domain. Although the [3H]cAMP and [3H]cGMP exchange rates of the isolated B domain were increased relative to the B domain in intact RI alpha, the [3H]cAMP exchange rate was comparable to that of the B domain of full-length RI alpha containing an unoccupied A domain. A plasmid encoding only the isolated B domain was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and a monomeric form of the B domain was purified that had identical properties to the proteolytically generated fragment, indicating that all of the elements for the high-affinity cAMP-binding B domain are contained within the 128 amino acid carboxyl terminus of the R subunit. Prolonged induction of the B domain in E. coli or storage of the purified protein resulted in the formation of a dimer that could be reverted to the monomer by incubation in 2-mercaptoethanol. Dimerization caused an approximate fivefold increase in the rate of cyclic nucleotide exchange relative to the monomer. The results show that an isolated cAMP-binding domain can function independently of any other domain structures of the R subunit.

Abstract
Previous studies of the ligand regulation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase have demonstrated the cAMP-mediated dissociation of the holoenzyme by using nonequilibrium techniques; i.e., gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, and differential centrifugation. While physically mild, these could have caused weakly associated species to dissociate, thereby providing a potentially flawed interpretation of the mechanism of activation of the protein kinase. To assess this, the activation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase has been monitored under equilibrium conditions using dipolar fluorescence energy transfer to measure changes in the proximity relations between the catalytic (C) and regulatory (R) subunits that compose the holoenzyme. Specifically, we prepared a heterochromatically labeled protein kinase type II holoenzyme, with the regulatory and catalytic subunits labeled with sulforhodamine and carboxyfluorescein, respectively, and monitored the exchange of electronic excitation energy between the C and R subunits by both donor lifetime and steady-state fluorescence. Biochemically, the heterochromatic holoenzyme was closely identical to the native protein with regard to cAMP-induced increase in catalytic activity, reassociation of C and R subunits, inhibition of catalytic activity by the specific protein kinase inhibitor (PKI), and observed dissociation examined by gel filtration upon cAMP addition. However, under equilibrium conditions, the energy-transfer measurements revealed that the addition of cAMP to this heterochromatic reporter complex promoted an estimated 10-A increase in the distance between the derivatization sites on C and R but not a dissociation of these subunits. Addition of PKI plus cAMP promoted full dissociation of the two subunits.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide-gated ionic channels in photoreceptors and olfactory sensory neurons are activated by binding of cGMP or cAMP to a receptor site on the channel polypeptide. By site-directed mutagenesis and functional expression of bovine wild-type and mutant channels in Xenopus oocytes, we have tested the hypothesis that an alanine/threonine difference in the cyclic nucleotide-binding site determines the specificity of ligand binding, as has been proposed for cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases [Weber, I.T., Shabb, J.B. & Corbin, J.D. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 6122-6127]. The wild-type olfactory channel is approximately 25-fold more sensitive to both cAMP and cGMP than the wild-type rod photoreceptor channel, and both channels are 30- to 40-fold more sensitive to cGMP than to cAMP. Substitution of the respective threonine by alanine in the rod photoreceptor and olfactory channels decreases the cGMP sensitivity of channel activation 30-fold but little affects activation by cAMP. Substitution of threonine by serine, an amino acid that also carries a hydroxyl group, even improves cGMP sensitivity of the wild-type channels 2- to 5-fold. We conclude that the hydroxyl group of Thr-560 (rod) and Thr-537 (olfactory) forms an additional hydrogen bond with cGMP, but not cAMP, and thereby provides the structural basis for ligand discrimination in cyclic nucleotide-gated channels.

Abstract
The major function of the regulatory (R) subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase is to bind tightly to the catalytic (C) subunit to form an inactive holoenzyme in the absence of cAMP. The hinge region of the R subunit resembles the substrate recognition site for the C subunit and is known to be involved in the R.C subunit interaction. Two arginine residues in this region, Arg-92 and Arg-93, are suggested to be essential for holoenzyme formation. In this study, a mutant in which Arg-92 and Arg-93 of type II regulatory subunit (RII) were replaced with alanine was constructed. Formation of the holoenzyme from mutant RII and C subunits was analyzed by gel-filtration and cation-exchange chromatography. Mutant RII in its cAMP-free form formed a stable holoenzyme with the C subunit, which dissociated in the presence of cAMP. Interestingly, the holoenzyme formed from mutant RII and C subunits retained full enzymatic activity even in the absence of cAMP. Although mutant RII could no longer be phosphorylated by the C subunit, the rate of [3H]cAMP release from mutant RII.cAMP was increased by addition of the C subunit, indicating that C-induced cAMP release is not the result of the interaction of the C subunit with the hinge region. These results demonstrate that Arg-92 and Arg-93 are not essential for holoenzyme formation but are critical for inhibiting kinase activity in the holoenzyme probably by occupying the substrate binding site. The results suggest that, in addition to the hinge region, a second site on the RII subunit may interact with the C subunit in a cAMP-dependent manner.

Abstract
cAMP sites of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase from the fungus Mucor rouxii have been characterized through the study of the effects of cAMP and of cAMP analogs on the phosphotransferase activity and through binding kinetics. The tetrameric holoenzyme, which contains two regulatory (R) and two catalytic (C) subunits, exhibited positive cooperativity in activation by cAMP, suggesting multiple cAMP-binding sites. Several other results indicated that the Mucor kinase contained two different cooperative cAMP-binding sites on each R subunit, with properties similar to those of the mammalian cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Under optimum binding conditions, the [3H]cAMP dissociation behavior indicated equal amounts of two components which had dissociation rate constants of 0.09 min-1 (site 1) and 0.90 min-1 (site 2) at 30 degrees C. Two cAMP-binding sites could also be distinguished by C-8 cAMP analogs (site-1-selective) and C-6 cAMP analogs (site-2-selective); combinations of site-1- and site-2-selective analogs were synergistic in protein kinase activation. The two different cooperative binding sites were probably located on the same R subunit, since the proteolytically derived dimeric form of the enzyme, which contained one R and one C component, retained the salient properties of the untreated tetrameric enzyme. Unlike any of the mammalian cyclic-nucleotide-dependent isozymes described thus far, the Mucor kinase was much more potently activated by C-6 cAMP analogs than by C-8 cAMP analogs. In the ternary complex formed by the native Mucor tetramer and cAMP, only the two sites 1 contained bound cAMP, a feature which has also not yet been demonstrated for the mammalian cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
The regulatory subunit of Type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle can bind [3H]cAMP to form the R-[3H]cAMP complex, and the slow phase of the enhanced exchange of free cAMP with [3H]cAMP from the R-[3H]cAMP complexes was studied under various conditions using the equilibrium isotope exchange technique. Results indicate that Mg-ATP and the catalytic subunit are absolutely required for the enhanced exchange reaction to occur, but phosphorylation of the regulatory subunit by Mg-ATP does not play a determining role in the slow rate of the dissociation/association of the Type I protein-kinase in the presence of cAMP and the catalytic subunit. We interpret the role of Mg-ATP as being one in which it may provide the structural attributes required for formation of a stabilized transient state of the cAMP-regulatory subunit-catalytic subunit ternary complex, an obligatory intermediate involved in the dissociation/association of Type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
A new preparative purification technique for biological macromolecules is developed by combining the affinity column chromatography and the membrane filtration technique. A unique feature of the affinity column-filtration apparatus is that the filtrate from the filtration unit is recycled back to the inlet of the affinity column, thus decreasing considerably the total amount of ligands required for the affinity column. A second important feature is that the pump which connects the affinity column and the filtration unit is monitored by an infrared sensor device on the filtration cell; consequently, the flow of the column eluent into the filtration unit is controlled automatically by the solution height in the filtration cell. Highly homogeneous regulatory subunits of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle are demonstrated to be obtainable by the new purification technique. Thus, this apparatus could have important applications in the purification of a wide range of biological macromolecules. A test for estimating affinity bound proteins is also discussed.

Abstract
A nondenaturing method for the preparation of R subunits from type II cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is described. The procedure is based on the exchange of cyclic AMP, which is tightly bound to the R subunit, for more weakly bound cyclic GMP, which can be removed by washing and dialysis. Less than 5% of the available cyclic nucleotide-binding sites of R subunit prepared by this method contained cyclic AMP and less than 3% contained cyclic GMP. The C-subunit contamination (mol of C/mol of R monomer) was approximately 0.2%. These levels of contamination did not affect the properties of the R subunit as judged by (a) the ability of the R subunit to inhibit the activity of the C subunit and (b) the rate of exchange of cAMP into R2 . etheno-cAMP. The advantages of our method are that the protein is not subjected to denaturing conditions and that large amounts of material can be processed relatively rapidly.

Abstract
The C-subunit of type II cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine heart was labelled with the fluorophore fluorescamine (FAM). The association of the dye-labelled subunit (CFAM) with the R-subunit isolated from the same source was monitored by fluorescence polarization spectroscopy. The stoichiometry of C to R in the final complex was close to 1:1. The affinity of the two subunits could be described by a dissociation constant in the nanomolar range. Holoenzyme (formed from CFAM and R) was titrated with cyclic AMP, and the changes in fluorescence anisotropy, due to dissociation of the holoenzyme, recorded. The titration curves were analysed in terms of a model which required computer simulation. Cyclic AMP-induced dissociation proceeds via one or more ternary complexes, and all four cyclic AMP-binding sites on the R-dimer are accessible in the holoenzyme. The dissociation constants describing the release of the C-subunits from the two ternary complexes containing four cyclic AMP molecules were both approx. 9 microM. The binding of two cyclic AMP molecules to protein kinase is necessary and sufficient to cause the dissociation of both C-subunits. The state of association at 'in vivo' concentrations of protein and cyclic AMP is discussed.

Abstract
The details of the process by which protein kinase catalyzes phosphoryl group transfers are beginning to be understood. Early work that explored the primary specificity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase action enabled the synthesis of small peptide substrates for the enzyme. Enzyme-peptide interactions seem simpler to understand than protein-protein interactions, so peptide substrates have been used in most protein kinase studies. In most investigations the kinetics for the phosphorylation of small peptides have been interpreted as being consistent with mechanisms which do not invoke phospho-enzyme intermediates (see, for example, Bolen et al.). Protein kinase has been shown to bind two metal ions in the presence of a nucleotide. Using magnetic resonance techniques the binding of these ions has been utilized to elucidate the conformation of nucleotide and peptide substrates or inhibitors when bound in the enzymic active site. Also, two new peptides with the form Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Y-Gly, where Y was either Pro or (N-methyl)Leu, were synthesized and found not to be substrates, within the limits of detection, for protein kinase. The striking lack of affinity that protein kinase has for such peptides which are unlikely to form a beta 3-6 turn has not been reported before. Our results may indicate that this type of turn is a requirement for protein kinase catalyzed phosphorylation or that these peptides lack the ability to form a particular hydrogen bond with the enzyme. Magnetic resonance techniques have indicated that the distance between the phosphorous in the gamma-phosphoryl group of MgATP and the hydroxyl oxygen of serine in the peptide Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly is 5.3 +/- 0.7 A. This, together with certain kinetic evidence, suggests that the mechanism by which protein kinase catalyzes phosphoryl group transfer has considerable dissociative character. Chemical modifications, including one using a peptide-based affinity label, have identified two residues at or near the active site, lysine-72 and cysteine 199. While neither of these groups has been shown to be catalytically essential, similar studies may help to identify groups that are directly involved in the catalytic process. Finally, a spectrophotometric assay for cAMP-dependent protein kinase has been described. Using this assay the preliminary results of an in-depth study of the pH dependence of protein kinase catalyzed phosphoryl group transfer have been obtained. This study shall aid in the identification of active site residues and should contribute to the elucidation of the enzyme's catalytic mechanism.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase is activated through the dissociation of active catalytic subunits from a regulatory dimer. The regulatory subunit consists of four cyclic-AMP-binding sites and two binding sites for catalytic subunits. Under well defined experimental conditions, protein kinase activation obeys apparent positive cooperativity and is linearly coupled to cyclic AMP binding. The simulation of theoretical models is used for testing working hypotheses. Here we demonstrate that the proposed stoichiometry of protein kinase activation may account for the experimentally observed properties of the system. The restrictive conditions under which theory and experimental observations are compatible are: (1) functional dependence between the two monomers of the regulatory dimer, (2) the only complexes which can accumulate at equilibrium in the considered conditions are R2C2, (cyclic AMP)2R2C and (cyclic AMP)4R2 (where R and C are the regulatory and catalytic subunits of protein kinase). An experimental procedure is proposed in order to check the validity of the theoretical predictions. The determination of the sequence of events leading to activation or inactivation of protein kinase is discussed.

Abstract
The rate of release of bound c[3H]AMP from the two types (A and B) of cAMP binding sites on the regulatory subunit dimer (R2I) of rabbit muscle protein kinase I was studied in the presence of the catalytic (C) subunit of protein kinase. Rebinding of released c[3H]AMP was avoided by using highly diluted reactants or adding unlabeled cAMP or its analogues. No significant C-induced dissociation of R2I-(c[3H]AMP)4 occurred in the absence of Mg2+-ATP. Of the two options that one or two molecules of C are required to induce the release of c[3H]AMP bound to R2I, only the first one was compatible with the first-order dependence on [C] of the rate of release of c[3H]AMP observed over a wide range of C concentrations. In the absence of added unlabeled cyclic nucleotide, the rate of the C-induced release of c[3H]AMP was the same from site A and site B. The apparent second-order rate constant for the association of C to R2I(c[3H]AMP)4 was 6 X 10(6) M-1 s-1 (37 degrees C, 0.15 M KCl). Raising the concentration of unlabeled cAMP in the medium up to 1 microM decreased by up to 50% the rate of the C-induced release of bound c[3H]AMP from both sites. This is explained by assuming that the association of one molecule of C to R2I(c-[3H]AMP)4 leads to the release of c[3H]AMP first from one R subunit and subsequently, by a process that can be blocked by about 1 microM cAMP, from the other R subunit. A further rise of the cAMP concentration decreased the rate of release from site B only, so that the C-induced release of c[3H]AMP occurred almost exclusively from site A at very high concentrations of cAMP. This suggests that c[3H]AMP is released first from site A and that this vacant site by interacting with cAMP inhibits the release of c[3H]AMP from site B of the same R subunit. The role of site A in controlling the C-induced release was further supported by the finding that several cAMP analogues inhibited the release with potencies correlating with their affinities for site A. The C-induced release of c[3H]AMP from aged R2I was about 10 times slower than that from fresh R2I. No significant C-induced release of c[3H]AMP was observed from the monomeric fragment obtained by limited trypsin treatment of R2(1).

Abstract
Previous kinetic studies have demonstrated that the activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase by cyclic AMP involves the formation of a ternary complex of cyclic AMP, the regulatory subunit (R) and the catalytic subunit (C). It is suggested that only this ternary complex breaks down to liberate the enzymically active catalytic subunit. We have performed cross-linking experiments with the holoenzyme and its dissimilar subunits in the presence of MgATP and various concentrations of cyclic AMP. Results from these cross-linking studies indicate that regulatory subunits exist as dimers in the native form. Moreover, dissociation of the holoenzyme or the reconstituted enzyme is promoted by cyclic AMP, and the effect of MgATP is to stabilize the enzyme in the tetrameric form. The success in cross-linking the regulatory and the catalytic subunits of protein kinase with the lysine-specific bifunctional cross-linking reagent dimethyl suberimidate may be attributed to the presence of a large number of lysine residues in the enzyme.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP binding to Mucor rouxii protein kinase holoenzyme and free regulatory subunit was measured by the classical membrane filtration technique and by equilibrium dialysis. The results obtained demonstrate that the filtration method can be used without loss of any cyclic AMP binding site. Both methods unambiguously demonstrate that the number of molecules of cyclic AMP bound to the holoenzyme are half of those bound to the regulatory subunit. This result suggests that unshielding of new cyclic AMP binding sites occurs upon dissociation of the ternary complex holoenzyme-cyclic AMP.

Abstract
cAMP binding to the 'stable' cAMP-binding sites in the regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase type I was investigated using a set of 18 selected derivatives. All the tested analogues were competitive with [3H]cAMP and inhibitor constants from 12 nM to 20 microM with the free regulatory subunit were determined. The cAMP molecule seemed to be bound by these specific hydrogen bonds to the 5' and 3' oxygen, the 2' hydroxyl, and an ion pair interaction between the negative charge in equatorial position and a positively charged amino acid side chain. The adenine base is rather unspecifically bound with no hydrogen bonds involved. This binding specificity of the 'stable' site is similar to the requirement for dissociation as determined by the activation of the kinase by a respective analogue. This indicates that occupation of the 'stable' sites leads to activation of the protein kinase. The presence of the catalytic subunit reduced the affinity of most analogues. The binding of one derivative with the negative charge fixed in the axial position is not influenced by the addition of the catalytic subunit and ATP. A plausible model for a conformational change during the activation process in the 'stable' site is discussed.

Abstract
1. A study has been made of the response of the Na efflux in single barnacle muscle fibres to the injection of cyclic AMP protein kinase catalytic subunit (CSU).2. (i) Injected CSU stimulates the Na efflux in unpoisoned and ouabain-poisoned fibres. (ii) Stimulation in both situations is always sustained, and (iii) stimulation of the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux is observed with as low a concentration as 10(-7) M-CSU.3. (i) The response to injected CSU depends on [Ca](o) but is unaffected by prior external application of verapamil. (ii) An effect fails to occur in fibres cooled to 0 degrees C.4. (i) Injection of 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) following peak stimulation by CSU causes a further sustained stimulatory response. (ii) Injection of CSU following peak stimulation by Gpp(NH)p causes a further sustained stimulatory response. (iii) Injection of undialysed cholera toxin following CSU causes little or no effect, whereas injection of dialysed cholera toxin causes a stimulatory effect. Injection of CSU following undialysed cholera toxin causes little or no effect, whereas its injection after dialysed cholera toxin causes a fairly appreciable effect.5. (i) The response to CSU is reduced by prior injection of protein kinase type 2 regulatory subunit (R(II)) but not when R(II) is injected following peak response to CSU. (ii) Injection of protein kinase inhibitor partially reverses the response to CSU.6. (i) Injection of Mg(2+) fully reverses the response to CSU. (ii) Fe and Zn cause only partial reversal.7. (i) External imipramine but not trifluoperazine reduces the response to CSU. (ii) Diphenylhydantoin is ineffective.8. These results support the view that CSU behaves as a modulator of the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux and that Mg(2+), Fe and Zn are inhibitors of the catalytic reaction.

Abstract
The regulatory subunit of bovine heart isozyme II cAMP-dependent protein kinase contains two different intrachain cAMP binding sites which differ in their rates of cyclic nucleotide dissociation and specificity of cyclic nucleotide analogue binding. The dissociation of cAMP from intrachain Site 1 is slow compared with that from Site 2. Cyclic nucleotide analogues with C-8 alterations show a marked relative preference for Site 1, whereas N6-modified analogues select Site 2. Cyclic IMP, which prefers Site 2, activates the partially purified heart protein kinase holoenzyme as efficiently as, or more efficiently than, cAMP itself. Dissociation studies indicate that the binding of subsaturating or saturating concentrations of cAMP to isolated regulatory subunit occurs at both sites, whereas cAMP in low concentrations binds mainly to Site 1 of the holoenzyme and occupies both sites as the cAMP concentration is raised. Cyclic IMP binding to Site 2 is stimulated by the simultaneous binding of 8-Br-cAMP to Site 1, indicating that at least one function of Site 1 is cooperativity. It is concluded that Site 2 occupancy, either alone or in combination with Site 1 occupancy, is responsible for protein kinase activation. The catalytic subunit of the holoenzyme may prevent cAMP binding to Site 2, but this restraint is relieved as Site 1 becomes occupied.

Abstract
Type I cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase is composed of a dimeric regulatory subunit (R(2)) and two catalytic subunits (C subunits). The R(2) dimer binds four cAMP molecules to release the two C subunits. To characterize the cAMP binding sites and elucidate their role in the release of the C subunits, the R(2) dimer has been studied by equilibrium methods. The cAMP titration of R(2) was monitored by endogenous tryptophan fluorescence, and the results suggest one class of binding sites. The titration plot is monotonic for saturation of four sites per R(2). A similar titration monitored by near-UV circular dichroic changes exhibited profound changes in the region of the (1)L(b) tyrosine and (1)L(a) and (1)L(b) tryptophan transitions; a plot of these data also showed a linear monotonic response. Thus, the fluorescence and circular dichroic changes show that cAMP binding to R(2) induces a conformational or structural change. The one apparent class of binding sites implies that all binding sites are characterized by similar K(d) values or by K(d) values much less than the receptor concentration. The reactivity of the cysteine sulfhydryl groups with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) showed that saturation with cAMP indirectly protects one sulfhydryl group per R monomer. Analysis of cAMP activation of the holoenzyme, detected by phosphotransferase assays, showed that saturation of both cAMP binding sites per R monomer is necessary to effect the release of the C subunit. By using a fluorescent analog of cAMP, 1,N(6)-etheno-cyclic AMP (epsilon cAMP), the (epsilon cAMP)(4).R(2) complex was titrated with C subunit, causing the release of epsilon cAMP. The titration showed that the release of epsilon cAMP was a positive cooperative process; its Hill plot had a slope of 2.6 and the K(a1) and K(an) values obtained by extrapolation were 2.1 x 10(7) M(-1) and 5.0 x 10(8) M(-1), respectively. The calculated DeltaDeltaG for first and last site coupling was 1.9 kcal/mol (1 cal = 4.18 J) of holoenzyme.
