Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) catalyzes the phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues of a number of proteins according to the following chemical equation: ATP + protein leads to phosphoprotein + ADP. The DEAE-cellulose peak II holoenzyme from bovine brain, which is composed of regulatory and catalytic subunits, is resistant to ethoxyformic anhydride inactivation. After adding cAMP, the protein kinase becomes susceptible to ethoxyformic anhydride inhibition. Ethoxyformic anhydride (2mM) inhibits the enzyme 50% (5 min, pH 6.5, 30 degrees) in the presence of 10 muM cAMP, but less than 5% in its absence. The substrate, Mg2+-ATP, protects against inactivation suggesting that inhibition is associated with modification of the active site. Addition of regulatory subunit or Mg2+-ATP to the isolated catalytic subunit also prevents ethoxyformic anhydride inactivation. These results suggest that the regulatory subunit shields the active site of the catalytic subunit thereby inhibiting it. In contrast to the bovine brain or muscle DEAE-cellulose peak II holoenzyme, the bovine muscle peak I holoenzyme is susceptible to ethoxyformic anhydride inactivation in the absence of cAMP.
