The basis for the unusual properties of the
catalytic subunit (C) of ram sperm cAMP-dependent protein
kinase was investigated. Ram sperm C was purified and found by mass
spectrometry (MS) to be ~890 Da smaller than C , the predominant
somatic isoform. Partial internal amino acid sequence from ram sperm C
was an exact match to that of bovine C , but differed from the
predicted sequences for the C and C isoforms. MS analysis of
2-nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic acid fragments showed that the mass
difference originated in the amino-terminal region. A unique blocked
amino-terminal fragment was isolated from sperm C and sequenced by a
combination of tandem mass spectrometry and Edman degradation of a
subfragment. The results revealed that the amino-terminal myristate and
the first 14 amino acids of C are replaced by an amino-terminal
acetate and six different amino acids in sperm C. The predicted mass
difference due to these changes is 899 Da. The region of homology
between sperm C and C begins at the exon 1/exon 2 boundary in C ,
suggesting that sperm C results from use of an alternate exon 1 in the
C gene. The different amino terminus of sperm C may be related to a
unique requirement for localization of the "free" C subunit within
the sperm flagellum.
