Photoaffinity labeling of oxidosqualene cyclase and squalene cyclase by a benzophenone-containing inhibitor.

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 f...
