The gene encoding the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) catalytic subunit-like protein PKAC1 from the Venezuelan TeAp-N/D1 strain of Trypanosoma equiperdum was cloned, and the recombinant TeqPKAC1 protein was overexpressed in bacteria. A major polypeptide with an apparent molecular mass of ∼38 kDa was detected by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and immunoblotting using antibodies against the human PKA catalytic subunit α. Unfortunately, most of the expressed TeqPKAC1 was highly insoluble.

The full gene sequence encoding for the Trypanosoma equiperdum ortholog of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) regulatory (R) subunits was cloned. A poly-His tagged construct was generated [TeqR-like(His)], and the protein was expressed in bacteria and purified to homogeneity. The size of the purified TeqR-like(His) was determined to be ∼57,000 Da by molecular exclusion chromatography indicating that the parasite protein is a monomer.
