| Abstract | Type I cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase is composed of a dimeric regulatory subunit (R2) and two catalytic subunits (C subunits). The R2 dimer binds four cAMP molecules to release the two C subunits. To characterize the cAMP binding sites and elucidate their role in the release of the C subunits, the R2 dimer has been studied by equilibrium methods. The cAMP titration of R2 was monitored by endogenous tryptophan fluorescence, and the results suggest one class of binding sites. The titration plot is monotonic for saturation of four sites per R2. A similar titration monitored by near-UV circular dichroic changes exhibited profound changes in the region of the 1Lb tyrosine and 1La and 1Lb tryptophan transitions; a plot of these data also showed a linear monotonic response. Thus, the fluorescence and circular dichroic changes show that cAMP binding to R2 induces a conformational or structural change. The one apparent class of binding sites implies that all binding sites are characterized by similar K d values or by K d values much less than the receptor concentration. The reactivity of the cysteine sulfhydryl groups with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) showed that saturation with cAMP indirectly protects one sulfhydryl group per R monomer. Analysis of cAMP activation of the holoenzyme, detected by phosphotransferase assays, showed that saturation of both cAMP binding sites per R monomer is necessary to effect the release of the C subunit. By using a fluorescent analog of cAMP, 1,N 6-etheno-cyclic AMP (ε cAMP), the (ε cAMP)4·R2 complex was titrated with C subunit, causing the release of ε cAMP. The titration showed that the release of ε cAMP was a positive cooperative process; its Hill plot had a slope of 2.6 and the K a1 and K an values obtained by extrapolation were 2.1 × 107 M-1 and 5.0 × 108 M-1, respectively. The calculated ΔΔG for first and last site coupling was 1.9 kcal/mol (1 cal = 4.18 J) of holoenzyme. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
