✦ Synopsis
Using a radioactively tagged, photoaffinity analog of CAMP, 8-azidoadenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-N3cAMP), and [ T ~~P ] ATP, the membranebinding properties of both the regulatory and catalytic subunits of the CAMPactivated protein kinase of human erythrocyte membranes were investigated.
[32P] 8-N3cAMP was used to locate and quantify regulatory subunits.
Increased phosphorylation of specific membrane proteins by [ T ~~P ]
ATP was used to determine the presence of the catalytic subunit. The data support a mechanism which operates through a tight membrane-bound regulatory subunit and a catalytic subunit that is released from the membrane when cAMP is present and the Mg. ATP concentration is below approximately 10 pM. The catalytic subunit is not required for the Mg. ATP inhibition of 8-N3cAMP binding. Experiments with a photoaffinity analog of ATP, 8-azidoadenosine triphosphate (8-N3 ATP), support the hypothesis that ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation are not involved in the regulation. The data indicate that the regulatory subunit contains an ATP regulatory site which inhibits 8-N3cAMP binding and the release of the catalytic subunit. These results indicate that the membrane-bound type I enzyme (type IM) differs significantly from the soluble (type IS) enzyme studied in other tissues. These enzymes are compartmentalized by being in different cellular locations and are regulated differently by Mg. ATP.
