Zusammenfassung:The physical characteristics of cAMP-dependent protein kinases and their, regulatory subunits from calf uterus, human uterus, human mammary tumor, and rat pituitary and of cAMP-binding protein from calf uterus were determined by quantitative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in buffers containing the detergent, Triton X-100. In the four tissues, protein kinases of either type A 1, with molecular weight ( M r) = 200,000, or type B, of M r = 80,000, or both, previously described were found. Trivial charge isomerism, or size isomerism, exists within each of the two classes, Protein Kinase A and B. The protein kinase recombined from the regulatory and catalytic subunits is not significantly different from the crude or isolated protein kinase. Protein Kinases A and B exist each in either one of the isozyme forms I and II but these are not reflected in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 10.2. Protein Kinase B appears to be a product of the partial proteolysis of Protein Kinase A. The regulatory subunits of Protein Kinases A from the four tissues are distinct from those of Protein Kinases B. No physical distinction exists between regulatory subunits derived from isozyme forms I and II. cAMP-Binding Proteins A and B are physically indistinguishable, by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 10.2, from the regulatory subunits of Protein Kinases A and B, respectively.
