Recombinant fragment of protein kinase inhibitor blocks cyclic AMP-dependent gene transcription

Grove JR, DJ Price, HM Goodman, and J Avruch

Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02114.

Transcriptional regulation by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in mammalian cells could be mediated by a phosphoprotein substrate of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase or, as in prokaryotes, by a cAMP-binding protein. Two synthetic genes that code for an active fragment of the protein inhibitor of this kinase and a mutant inactive fragment were constructed and used to distinguish these alternatives. Transient expression of the active peptide product specifically inhibited the cAMP-stimulated expression of a cotransfected reporter gene by more than 90 percent, whereas the expression of the inactive peptide did not alter cAMP-stimulated gene expression. The results indicate that an active kinase catalytic subunit is a necessary intermediate in the cAMP stimulation of gene transcription.
