Predominance of the regulatory subunit of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase in particulate fractions of several rabbit tissues
The subcellular distribution of cAMP-dependent protein kianse (cA kinase) regulatory subunits (R) from various rabbit tissues has been studied using the photoaffinity probe, 8-azido-(/sup 32/P) cAMP and specific antibodies directed against the regulatory subunits (RI and RII) from type I and II cA kinases. In the rabbit liver cytosol, the photoaffinity probe labeled one major band with an apparent molecular mass of 48,000 (48 kDa) representing RI and a minor band with an apparent molecular mass of 54,000 (54 kDa) representing RII. In contrast, the nuclear, mitochondrial and microsomal fractions from rabbit liver showed the predominant labelling of 54 kDa band representing the RII. The 54 kDa protein from all of these fractions could be immunoprecipitated by RII-antibody. Furthermore, when the solubilized mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were electrophoresed and immunoblotted using RII-antibody followed by RI-antibody, the predominant labelling of 54 kDa band was observed. In addition, the particulate fractions of rabbit skeletal muscle, heart and spleen were also found to contain RII as the predominant form. These results indicate that RII is the major form of cA kinase regulatory subunit in particulate fractions of several rabbit tissues.
