Abstract:
:An adenosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) dependent protein kinase has recently been shown to exist in Dictyostelium discoideum and to be developmentally regulated. In this report we have followed the chromatographic behavior of both the holoenzyme and its subunits. A cAMP-dependent holoenzyme could be obtained from the 100000 g soluble fraction after passage through DE-52 cellulose (pH 7.5) and Sephacryl S300. Under conditions of low pH the holoenzyme could be further purified by flat-bed electrofocusing (pI = 6.8). Application of the holoenzyme to electrofocusing at high pH resulted in dissociation of the holoenzyme into a cAMP binding component (pI = 6.1) and a cAMP-independent catalytic activity (pI = 7.4). Dissociation of the holoenzyme into subunits also occurred during histone affinity chromatography and gel filtration chromatography (S300) in the presence of a dissociating buffer. Although the subunit structure was clearly evident during chromatography, the holoenzyme could not be dissociated by simple addition of cAMP to the extract. The catalytic subunit could be purified further by CM-Sephadex, DE-52 cellulose (pH 8.5), histone affinity, and hydrophobic chromatography. The regulatory subunit was further purified by DE-52 cellulose (pH 8.5) and cAMP affinity chromatography. Proof that the cAMP binding activity and the cAMP-independent catalytic activity were in fact the regulatory and catalytic subunits was shown by reconstitution of the cAMP-dependent holoenzyme from the purified subunits. By using these separation procedures, one can obtain from extracts of Dictyostelium the subunits that are free of each other as well as free of any endogenous protein substrates.
