The activation of cyclic adenosine 3'5'-monophosphate (CAMP)-dependent protein kinases has been implicated as an integral mechanism in stimulus-secretion coupling in the anterior pituitary. Therefore, we have investigated phosphorylation of endogenous protein substrates both in the presence and abse

โฆ Synopsis
The roles of cyclic AMP, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and the phosphorylation of specific proteins in the regulation of cardiac contractility are briefly reviewed. Criteria for determining whether changes in cyclic AMP and protein phosphorylation are involved in a physiological response are discussed. Although cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of the voltage-operated Ca2+ channel, phospholamban, troponin-I and C-protein have all been implicated in the response of the heart to inotropic agents which elevate cyclic AMP, none of these phosphorylations satisfy all of the criteria completely. Evidence is presented that there are compartments of cyclic AMP in heart which are coupled to different functional responses.
