Abstract
Limited proteolysis of catalytic and regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-pk), cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, glycogen synthase, and histones by fungal protease (type XIX) was analyzed by the digested peptide bands in SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The modulatory effects on proteolysis by nucleotides, polypeptides, and phospholipids may greatly depend on the intrinsic nature of substrates. The proteolysis of the regulatory subunit of A-pk and glycogen synthase was not regulated by nucleotides and nucleic acids. In comparison, phosphatidyl serine, cardiolipin, and pepstatin A stimulated the proteolysis of the catalytic subunit of A-pk. Whereas, λDNA (Hind III digest), t-RNA, GTP, phosphatidyl serine, sphingosine inhibited the proteolysis of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. Moreover, MS2 RNA, λDNA, t-RNA, dGTP, Phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl inositol, antipain, and chymostatin exerted inhibitory proteolytic effect on histone VIII-S. Some of these agents also had similar inhibitory effect on other types of histones (types III-S and VII-S). The inhibitory effect of phosphatidyl serine on proteolysis of histone may be due to their interaction which was monitored by the drastic increase of uv absorbance.
