Protein kinase
Protein kinases phosphorylate Ser, Thr, and Tyr
residues in target proteins
Kinases typically recognize specific amino acid
sequences in their targets
All kinases share a common catalytic mechanism
based on a conserved core kinase domain of
about 260 residues
Kinases are often regulated by intrasteric
control, in which a regulatory subunit (or domain)
has a pseudosubstrate sequence that mimics
the target sequence without the phosphorylatable
residue
Classification of protein kinases
Regulation of protein kinase A by cAMP
Adenylyl
cyclase
GP
Ser14 Ser14 Ser14 Ser14 The activity of GP in
muscle is regulated by
covalent modification
(phosphorylation),
allosteric regulation,
and a regulatory
cascade sensitive to
hormonal status that
acts on the enzymes
involved in
Adenylyl phosphorylation and
cyclase dephosphorylation.
The activity of glycogen phosphorylase is
regulated allosterically
Muscle GP shows cooperativity in substrate binding
ATP and glucose-6-P are allosteric inhibitors of GP
AMP is an allosteric activator of GP
When ATP and glucose-6-P are abundant, glycogen
breakdown is inhibited (T state); When cellular energy
reserves are low (i.e., high [AMP] and low [ATP] and [G-6-
P]) glycogen catabolism is stimulated (R state)
Glycogen phosphoryase is activated by a
cascade of reactions
Cyclic AMP is the intracellular
agent of extracellular hormones -
thus a second messenger

p Oxygen binding to Hb is
regulated by 2,3-
bisphosphoglycerate
(2,3BPG)
p 2,3BPG is an allosteric
effector of Hb
p 2,3BPG lowers the
affinity of deoxyHb for
oxygen (raises the P50 of
Hb from ~12 to ~26 torr)
