Resumen:
The catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote forms was purified by
ionic-exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography and sucrose gradient centrifugation. Upon polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate, the purified preparations showed a main polypeptide band with a
mobility of about 40 kDa. In Western blots this band immunoreacted with a polyclonal antibody specific for the catalytic
subunit of bovine heart protein kinase A. Hydrodynamic and molecular parameters of this subunit are as follows: molecular
weight, 40 000 _+ 3000; sedimentation constant, 2.8 +0.3 S; Stokes' radius, 2.8 _+ 0.2 nm; frictional ratio, 1.28 _+ 0.05.
Purified preparations of T. cruzi catalytic and regulatory subunits reconstitute a holoenzyme with a sedimentation
constant, 8.6_+ 1.17 S. This data together with those previously reported by Ulloa et al. [8] indicate that the T. cruzi cyclic
AMP-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme is a tetramer with the structure R2C2 of about 200 kDa.
The apparent Km of the catalytic subunit for ATP and histone IIA or kemptide as phosphate donor and acceptor,
respectively, were 40 #M, 48.6/~M and 26 #M, respectively.Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote forms was purified by
