An adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase from the human erythrocyte membrane. Purification and characterization

B. F. Grant, T. B. Breithaupt and E. B. Cunningham

An adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) has been isolated from the human erythrocyte memebrane and the phosphotransferase activity exhibited by this enzyme has been purified 800-fold. In concentrated solutions, the membrane-derived protein kinase undergoes aggregation with a concomitant loss in observed phosphotransferase activity. This loss of activity can be restored by means of inducing deaggregation. The phosphotransferase activity of the protein kinase is virtually obliterated in the presence of high (300 mM) concentrations of sodium chloride. This effect is also reversible. The pH optimum for the phosphotransferase reaction that is catalyzed by the membrane-derived protein kinase is approximately 8. Micromolar concentrations of cAMP are optimal with respect to promoting the phosphotransferase reaction. Initial velocity and product inhibition studies were conducted on the cAMP-independent protein kinase derived from the cAMP-dependent enzyme. These studies indicate that the phosphotransferase reaction proceeds by a sequential kinetic mechanism.
