title: Purification of cyclic 3',5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitory protein by affinity chromatography on activator protein coupled to Sepharose.
abstract: The Ca2+-dependent, reversible, interaction of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase with its activator has been used to purify the enzyme by affinity chromatography. Activator-dependent cAMP phosphodiesterase is only a minor component of the proteins specifically adsorbed in the presence of Ca2+ by the Ca2+-dependent activator protein coupled to Sepharose and subsequently released by [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid. The major protein component can be partially resolved from the enzyme by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. This protein has been purified to apparent homogeneity and shown to be composed of two polypeptide chains with molecular weights of 61,000 and 15,000 respectively. This protein is, by itself, devoid of phosphodiesterase activity and inhibits the activation of cAMP phosphodiesterase by its activator without affecting the basal activity. Thus, activation of cAMP phosphodiesteriase by the Ca2+-dependent activator protein may be controlled by interactions with yet a third component of the enzyme complex.
