โฆ Synopsis
A peptide affinity inactivator, Ac-Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-(BrAc)Om-Leu-Gly, was used as a tool t o probe for active site residues in the catalytic subunit of bovine CAMP-dependent protein kinase. The peptide inactivated the catalytic subunit in an active site-directed and monophasic manner with a first-order rate constant of 0.03 min-' and a dissociation constant of 675 p M . Studies with radioactive peptide indicated that approximately one equivalent of peptide was incorporated into each protein molecule. Protein sequencing identified the modified residue as Cys-199. A possible location for Cys-199 within the active site is suggested.

## Abstract The active site of the mammalian cAMPโdependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (Cโsubunit) has a cluster of nonconserved acidic residuesโGlu127, Glu170, Glu203, Glu230, and Asp241โthat are crucial for substrate recognition and binding. Studies have shown that the Glu230 to Gln mutant
It has been shown that CAMP-dependent phosphorylation of a soluble sperm protein is important for the initiation of flagellar motion. The suggestion has been made that this motility initiation protein, named axokinin, is the major 56,000-dalton phosphoprotein present in both dog sperm and in other c
