RESUMO

A protein kinase activated by cyclic nucleotides was purified from beef heart. Upon exposure to adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) during gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, the protein kinase dissociated into a cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase and a cyclic nucleotide-binding protein. A similar or identical cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase could be obtained in highly purified form by clution from a DEAE-cellulose column with 10-6 M cyclic AMP; the cyclic AMP-binding protein was apparently retained by the resin. The addition of cyclic nucleotide-binding protein to cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase resulted in the reappearance of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinase, which could be isolated by filtration on Sephadex G-200 in the absence of cyclic AMP. These results confirm and extend previous suggestions that cyclic nucleotides activate protein kinases by dissociating them from inhibitory, cyclic nucleotide-binding proteins.
