Abstract
During the purification of cyclic[c]AMP binding proteins from rat liver, smaller active fragments were obtained, possibly as the result of proteolysis. The binding proteins detected had approximate MW of 50,000, 36,000 and 10,000. Each of these components bound [3H] cAMP with high affinity (apparent Kd ranging from 2-10 nM) and had a similar ability to inhibit the purified catalytic subunit of rat liver protein kinase. cAMP prevented this inhibition in each instance. The binding site for cAMP and the site for interacting with catalytic subunit occur relatively close to one another on the regulatory subunit and can remain functional when a substantial fraction of the subunit is lost.
