pubmed:abstractText
In previous studies we have shown that the activation of bovine heart cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase by purified protein activator is completely dependent on the presence of Ca2+ and that the protein activator Ca2+ complex is probably the true activator for the enzyme (Teo, T.S. and Wang, J.H. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 5930-5955). More recent studies have led us to believe that the mechanism of the Ca2+ activation of phosphodiesterase resembles that of the Ca2+ activation of muscle contraction and that the protein activator may play a role similar to troponin. In the present study we show that the protein activator resembles rabbit muscle troponin C in amino acid composition, molecular weight, isoelectric point, and ultraviolet absorption spectrum. Preliminary structural studies also indicate that these two proteins may have evolved from a common ancestral protein through gene duplication. This argument is strengthened by the finding that the tryptic peptide map of the bovine heart protein activator is indistinguishable from that of the bovine brain phosphodiesterase activator protein for which preliminary sequence information also suggests homology to troponin C (Watterson, D.M., Harrelson, W.G., Jr., Keller, P.M., Sharief, F., and Vanaman, T.C. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 4501-4513).
