The subcellular distribution of adenylate cyclase, cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase, protein kinases and phosphoprotein phosphatase in bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei was determined by isopycnic sucrose-gradient centrifugation of post-large-granule extracts. Cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase was almost entirely soluble whereas adenylate cyclase was membrane-bound. The latter enzyme appeared to be absent from the plasma-membrane fraction but copurified with acid phosphatase and acid phosphodiesterase indicating a possible association with the flagellar pocket. At least two protein kinase activities could be distinguished as based on their distribution profiles in gradients, their preference for exogenously added acceptor protein and their inhibition and stimulation by suramin and nucleoside, respectively. Suramin-sensitive protein kinase co-purified with the plasma-membrane marker alpha-D-glucosidase and a nucleoside-stimulated protein kinase behaved as a typical cell-sap enzyme. Phosphoprotein phosphatase activity was found to be mainly soluble but a small part seemed to be associated with plasma membranes.
