✦ Synopsis
Ustilago maydis was surveyed for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Using a combination of ion-exchange and molecular filtration techniques, we demonstrate that there is only one form of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the cytosolic fraction of the fungus. The kinase activity is specifically activated by cyclic AMP and utilizes protamine and kemptide as substrates. Most, if not all, of the cyclic AMP binding detected in the soluble fraction is associated with the protein kinase activity. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is completely dissociated by cyclic AMP into catalytic and regulatory subunits having an apparent molecular weight of 35 000 daltons as judged by sucrose gradient centrifugation.

Skin from hairless mice was incubated with two synthetic retinoids, isotretinoin and etretinate, and the cAMP content as well as the activity of cAMPdependent protein kinase were determined. A crude plasma membrane preparation was used to measure adenylyl cyclase activity. Neither isotretinoin (10 -

The activity of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was higher in the lower layer than the upper layer of epidermis. The supernatant of homogenates of the lower layer of calf-snout epide
Extracts of fasted rat diaphragms, previously treated with or without insulin were assayed for glycogen synthase, protein kinase and cyclic [3H]-AMP binding. Treatment with insulin produced an elevation in the % of glycogen synthase I and a concurrent decrease in cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase
Recent evidence suggests that cyclic AMP may be involved in the regulation of epidermal proliferation and keratinization [1 -3]. The diverse biological effects of cyclic AMP are considered to be mediated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and by sequent phosphorylation of specific substrate prot
