title: Effects of the cytosol fraction and ATP on the kinetics of cAMP binding to human erythrocyte membranes.
abstract: The cytosol fraction of human erythrocytes as well as 1 mM ATP decreased the rate constant (Kl) of association of [3H]cAMP with human erythrocyte membranes. However, the effect of 1 mM ATP on the association kinetics was much greater than that of the cytosol fraction. Accordingly, the cytosol fraction and 1 mM ATP increased the rate constant (k-l) of dissociation of bound [3H]cAMP from the human erythrocyte membranes. However, the cytosol fraction affected the dissociation kinetics to a far greater extent than 1 mM ATP. Thus, although both cytosol and 1 mM ATP decreased the affinity of [3H]cAMP for binding sites on human erythrocyte membranes at equilibrium, the detailed mode of their action on the membrane [3H]cAMP binding sites appears to differ.
