S-Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AdoHcyase) has previously been identified as a cytoplasmic adenosine and cyclic AMP binding protein. In order to examine the relationship between the adenosine and cyclic AMP binding sites on this enzyme we have explored the use of 8-azido analogues of adenosine and cyclic AMP as photoaffinity reagents for covalently labelling AdoHcyase purified from human placenta. 8-Azidoadenosine (8-N3-Ado), like adenosine, inactivated AdoHcyase, and the rate of inactivation was greatly increased by periodate oxidation. In addition, 8-N3-Ado was found to participate in the first step in the catalytic mechanism for AdoHcyase, resulting in conversion of enzyme-bound NAD+ to NADH, although it was not a substrate for the full enzyme-catalysed reaction. Radioactively labelled 8-N3-Ado, its periodate-oxidized derivative and 8-azidoadenosine 3′, 5′-phosphate (8-N3-cAMP) bound specifically to adenosine binding sites on AdoHcyase and, after irradiation, became covalently linked to the enzyme. Photoaffinity-labelled enzyme could be precipitated by monoclonal antibody to human AdoHcyase. Two observations suggested that cyclic AMP and adenosine bind to the same sites on AdoHcyase. First cyclic AMP and adenosine each blocked binding of both radioactively labelled 8-N3-Ado and 8-N3-cAMP, and second, digestion with V8 proteinase generated identical patterns of peptides from AdoHcyase that had been photolabelled with [32P]8-N3-cAMP and [3H]8-N3-Ado. Binding sites for cyclic AMP on AdoHcyase were found to differ functionally and structurally from cyclic AMP binding sites on the R1 regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

We have cloned a gene (BCY1) from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that encodes a regulatory subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The encoded protein has a structural organization similar to that of the RI and RII regulatory subunits of the mammalian cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Strains of S. cerevisiae with disrupted BCY1 genes do not display a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro, fail to grow on many carbon sources, and are exquisitely sensitive to heat shock and starvation.

The isolation of mutant cell lines affecting the activity of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PK-A) has made it possible to determine the function of this kinase in mammalian cells. We found that both a CHO cell mutant with a defective regulatory subunit (RI) for PK-A and a transfectant cell line expressing the same mutant kinase were sensitive to multiple drugs, including puromycin, adriamycin, actinomycin D, and some antimitotic drugs. The mutant and transfectant cells, after treatment with a concentration of the antimitotic drug colcemid that had no marked effect on the wild-type parent cell, had a severely disrupted microtubule network. The phenotype of hypersensitivity to the antimitotic drug colcemid was used to select revertants of the transfectant and the original mutant. These revertants simultaneously regained normal multiple drug resistance and cAMP sensitivity, thus establishing that the characteristics of colcemid sensitivity and cAMP resistance are linked. Four revertants of the transfectant reverted because of loss or rearrangement of the transfected mutant RI gene. These revertants, as well as one revertant selected from the original mutant, had PK-A activities equal to or higher than that of the parent. In these genetic studies, in which linkage of expression of a PK-A mutation with drug sensitivity is demonstrated, it was established that the PK-A system is involved in regulating resistance of mammalian cells to multiple drugs.

In mammalian brain, physiological signals carried by cyclic AMP (cAMP) seem to be targeted to effector sites via the tethering of cAMP-dependent protein kinase II beta (PKAII beta) to intracellular structures. Recently characterized A kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) are probable mediators of the sequestration of PKAII beta because they contain a high-affinity binding site for the regulatory subunit (RII beta) of the kinase and a distinct intracellular targeting domain. To establish a cellular basis for this targeting mechanism, we have employed immunocytochemistry to 1) identify the types of neurons that are enriched in AKAPs, 2) determine the primary intracellular location of the anchor protein, and 3) demonstrate that an AKAP and RII beta are coenriched and colocalized in neurons that utilize the adenylate cyclase-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) signaling pathway. Antibodies directed against rat brain AKAP 150 were used to elucidate the regional, cellular and intracellular distribution of a prototypic anchor protein in the CNS. AKAP 150 is abundant in Purkinje cells and in neurons of the olfactory bulb, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, and other forebrain regions. In contrast, little AKAP 150 is detected in neurons of the thalamus, hypothalamus, midbrain, and hindbrain. A high proportion of total AKAP 150 is concentrated in primary branches of dendrites, where it is associated with microtubules. We also discovered that the patterns of accumulation and localization of RII beta (and PKAII beta) in brain are similar to those of AKAP 150. The results suggest that bifunctional AKAP 150 tethers PKAII beta to the dendritic cytoskeleton, thereby creating a discrete target site for the reception and propagation of signals carried by cAMP.
