A hybrid protein of Escherichia coli, exhibiting both adenylate cyclase and beta-galactosidase activities, was purified and characterized. This protein, obtained by genetic engineering, contained the first 556 amino acids of adenylate cyclase connected to the eighth-residue of beta-galactosidase through a pentapeptide Val-Gly-Asp-Pro-Val. The fusion protein was less stable than the native beta-galatosidase. Trypsin cleaved preferentially the adenylate cyclase moiety of the hybrid protein at a ratio of 1/50 (w/w). The kinetic properties of the hybrid protein were comparable, with a few exceptions, to those of native adenylate cyclase and beta-galactosidase. 'Truncated' adenylate cyclase was no longer sensitive to inhibition by excess ATP, which seems to indicate a second nucleotide binding site of wild-type adenylate cyclase. Photoirradiation of the hybrid protein with 8-azidoadenosine 5'-triphosphate inactivated the adenylate cyclase activity, leaving intact the beta-galactosidase activity. A radiolabeled ATP analog was incorporated after photoirradiation into the adenylate cyclase moiety of the fusion protein as shown by limited digestion with trypsin.
