Abstract
Mammalian cGMP and cAMP-dependent protein kinases show considerable similarity in amino acid sequence, although they specifically bind different cyclic nucleotides. Results of cGMP analogue binding experiments, combined with modeling of the cGMP binding sites by analogy to the structure of the homologous catabolite gene activator protein, suggest that a threonine residue forms a hydrogen bond with the 2-NH2 of cGMP. This threonine is invariant in all cGMP binding domains, but the corresponding residue in 23 out of 24 cAMP binding sites of protein kinases is alanine, which cannot form the same hydrogen bond. This alanine/threonine difference has the potential for discriminating between cAMP and cGMP and may be important in the evolutionary divergence of cyclic nucleotide binding sites.This publication has 36 references indexed in Scilit:
