title: Differential binding of cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunit isoforms Ialpha and IIbeta to the catalytic subunit.
abstract: Limited trypsin digestion of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme results in a proteolytic-resistant Delta(1-72) regulatory subunit core, indicating that interaction between the regulatory and catalytic subunits extends beyond the autoinhibitory site in the R subunit at the NH(2) terminus. Sequence alignment of the two R subunit isoforms, RI and RII, reveals a significantly sequence diversity at this specific region. To determine whether this sequence diversity is functionally important for interaction with the catalytic subunit, specific mutations, R133A and D328A, are introduced into sites adjacent to the active site cleft in the catalytic subunit. While replacing Arg(133) with Ala decreases binding affinity for RII, interaction between the catalytic subunit and RI is not affected. In contrast, mutant C(D328A) showed a decrease in affinity for binding RI while maintaining similar affinities for RII as compared with the wild-type catalytic subunit. These results suggest that sequence immediately NH(2)-terminal to the consensus inhibition site in RI and RII interacts with different sites at the proximal region of the active site cleft in the catalytic subunit. These isoform-specific differences would dictate a significantly different domain organization in the type I and type II holoenzymes.
