## Abstract Cyclic adenosine 3′:5′‐monophosphate (cAMP)‐dependent protein kinases from three clones of C1300 neuroblastoma, established as growing tumors in A/jax mice, were identified and characterized. Mean (± SD) intratumor concentrations of cAMP ranged from 5.0±2.4 to 6.8±1.9 pmol/mg protein; c

✦ Synopsis
A synthetic tetradecapeptide derived from the phosphorylation site of the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase (Arg-Thr-Lys-Arg-Ser-Gly-Ser-Val-Tyr-Glu-Pro-Leu-Lys-Ile) is a highly efficient substrate for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, exhibiting a 36% decrease in the intrinsic tyrosine fluorescence on phosphorylation. The fluorescence changes in continuous assays were monitored to demonstrate the roles of protein kinase effectors (cAMP, the type II regulatory subunit, and the 8000-Da heat-stable inhibitor) in the regulation of the enzyme and to determine Km and Vmax. The phosphorylation reaction requires 1 mol ATP/mol peptide. Amino acid analysis demonstrates the presence of phosphoserine in the phosphorylated peptide. Auxiliary experiments show that tyrosine phosphorylation can also be detected fluorometrically and distinguished from serine or threonine phosphorylation.

Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is conventionally assayed by measuring the incorporation of radiolabeled phosphate into a histone substrate. Here the assay of the protein kinase is carried out by the positive-ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of the enzyme incubation mixture
Elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and hypercholesterolemia commonly coexist, as typically seen in hypothyroidism, but there is no known mechanism directly linking the two. Here, we demonstrated that in liver cells, TSH promoted the expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reduct
## Abstract Protein phosphorylation catalyzed by the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)‐dependent protein kinase (PKA) is implicated in regulating zygotic gene activation in the two‐cell mouse embryo (Poueymirou and Schultz; Dev Biol 133:588–599, 1989). We now provide evidence that H8, which is
