| Abstract: | A study is presented of the cAMP-dependent phosphorylation in bovine heart mitochondria of three proteins of 42, 16 and 6.5 kDa associated to the inner membrane. These proteins are also phosphorylated by the cytosolic cAMP-dependent protein kinase and by the purified catalytic subunit of this enzyme. In the cytosol, proteins of 16 and 6.5 kDa are phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent kinase. It is possible that cytosolic and mitochondrial cAMP-dependent kinases phosphorylate the same proteins in the two compartments. |
