title: Modulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase by derivatives of chondroitin sulfate.
abstract: Here, we report investigations about the direct effect of glycosaminoglycans, such as dermatan sulfate, chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfate upon cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. The results indicate that glycosaminoglycans strongly influence the phosphorylation activity of this enzyme against histone type IIa and [Val6, Ala7]-kemptide. While chondroitin 4-sulfate and dermatan sulfate exhibit inhibitory effects, chondroitin 6-sulfate shows a stimulating effect. In addition, the chondroitin 6-sulfate is also able to reduce the chondroitin 4-sulfate and dermatan sulfate specific inhibition.
