Differential distribution of cAMP-dependent protein kinase isoforms in the mantle of the bivalve mollusc Mytilus galloprovincialis.

Two different isoforms of the regulatory (R) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), named R(myt1) and R(myt2), had previously been identified in the sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. R(myt1) and R(myt2) were differentially distributed in the various cell types comprising the mussel mantle. R(myt1) was found the only isoform to be present in the auxiliary cells of female follicles and the cubic epithelium of the middle fold of mantle edge.

Isoforms of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the bivalve mollusk Mytilus galloprovincialis: activation by cyclic nucleotides and effect of temperature.

Two different isoforms of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) have been partially purified from the posterior adductor muscle and the mantle tissue of the sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. The holoenzymes contain as regulatory subunit (R) the previously identified isoforms Rmyt1 and Rmyt2, and were named PKAmyt1 and PKAmyt2, respectively. Both cAMP and cGMP can activate these PKA isoforms completely, although they exhibit a sensitivity approximately 100-fold higher for cAMP than for cGMP.

Characterization of a type I regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase from the bivalve mollusk Mytilus galloprovincialis.

Two isoforms of the regulatory subunit (R) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), named R(myt1) and R(myt2), had been purified in our laboratory from two different tissues of the sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. In this paper, we report the sequences of several peptides obtained from tryptic digestion of R(myt1). As a whole, these sequences showed high homology with regions of type I R subunits from invertebrate and also from mammalian sources, but homology with those of fungal and type II R subunits was much lower, which indicates that R(myt1) can be considered as a type I R isoform.
