Abstract
Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is a holoenzyme that consists of a regulatory (R) subunit dimer and two catalytic (C) subunits that are released upon stimulation by cAMP. Immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation of T-cell protein extracts, immunofluorescence of permeabilized T cells and RT/PCR of T-cell RNA using C subunit-specific primers revealed expression of two catalytically active PKA C subunits C alpha1 (40 kDa) and C beta2 (47 kDa) in these cells. Anti-RI alpha and Anti-RII alpha immunoprecipitations demonstrated that both C alpha1 and C beta2 associate with RI alpha and RII alpha to form PKAI and PKAII holoenzymes. Moreover, Anti-C beta2 immunoprecipitation revealed that C alpha1 coimmunoprecipitates with C beta2. Addition of 8-CPT-cAMP which disrupts the PKA holoenzyme, released C alpha1 but not C beta2 from the Anti-C beta2 precipitate, indicating that C beta2 and C alpha1 form part of the same holoenzyme. Our results demonstrate for the first time that various C subunits may colocate on the same PKA holoenzyme to form novel cAMP-responsive enzymes that may mediate specific effects of cAMP.Keywords
