ABSTRACT
Autophosphorylation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was shown to occur via an intramolecular mechanism the regulatory subunit undergoes phosphorylation only within the holoenzyme. The phospho form of the catalytic subunit has the capacity to phosphorylate the regulatory subunit. The phosphotransferase reaction and the reaction of autophosphorylation were found to proceed with the involvement of the same active site. The activation constant of phospho- and dephosphoprotein kinase under the influence of cyclic AMP and the dissociation constant of the cyclic AMP complex with phospho- and dephospho forms of the holoenzyme were estimated. Autophosphorylation was demonstrated to lead to almost complete dissociation of the holoenzyme under the influence of cyclic AMP. Circular dichroism spectra of the phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms of protein kinase were studied. The relative content of the secondary structure elements in proteins was estimated and conformational changes were detected in the enzyme upon its interaction with cycli AMP. The anti-conformation of the cyclic nucleotide fixed in the complex with the phospho form of the regulatory subunit is suggested.
