Abstract
Several methods were compared for estimating the amount of regulatory subunit of an 800-fold purified Type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine heart. These methods included a reversable binding assay using either cAMP, or 8-N3-[32P]cAMP, photoaffinity labeling with 8-N3-[32P]cAMP, and autophosphorylation of the regulatory subunit of the enzyme. Although the regulatory subunit had a slightly lower affinity for 8-N3-cAMP than for cAMP, the total amount of regulatory subunit could be determined by each of the procedures examined. The results indicate that the photoaffinity analog 8-N3-[32P]cAMP is able to label quantitatively all cAMP-binding sites of the regulatory subunit of this cAMP-dependent protein kinase.
