Cyclic AMP-dependent and independent protein kinases in Ascaridia galli. 1984

E Ossikovski, and R D Walter

The occurrence of multiple protein kinases, distinguished with respect to molecular weight and preference for acceptor proteins, was demonstrated in Ascaridia galli. The molecular weights of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and of phosvitin kinase I and II - both independent of cyclic AMP-were determined to be 160000, greater than 200000 and 40000, respectively. The cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase preferred histones and kemptide as acceptor substrates; stimulation of enzyme activity was up to 4-fold by cyclic AMP. The activities of phosvitin kinase I and II were found to be effectively inhibited by suramin. The inhibition constants were calculated to be 2 microM and 5 microM, respectively. In addition, stibophen turned out to be a potent inhibitor of phosvitin kinase I; the inhibition constant was determined to be 10 microM.

D006656 Protamine Kinase An aspect of protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) in which serine residues in protamines and histones are phosphorylated in the presence of ATP. Histone Kinase,Kinase, Histone,Kinase, Protamine
D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.

D013498 Suramin A polyanionic compound with an unknown mechanism of action. It is used parenterally in the treatment of African trypanosomiasis and it has been used clinically with diethylcarbamazine to kill the adult Onchocerca. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1992, p1643) It has also been shown to have potent antineoplastic properties.
