Abstract
A receptor with a dissociation constant of 2·10 −6M for cyclic 3′,5′-AMP (cAMP) has been found in mouse liver cytosol. This cAMP binding activity can be differentiated from the cAMP-dependent protein kinase holoenzymes and the free regulatory subunits also found in the cytosol. Mg ++-ATP increases the number of binding sites for cAMP several fold. This increased capacity for cAMP binding persists after Sephadex G-25 filtration, and incubation for 14 hours in the presence of 5 mM EDTA. Among several adenosine- and guanosine-derivatives tested, only AMP, ADP and ATP compete efficiently with [ 3H] cAMP for the cAMP binding site.
