Cyclic AMP binding proteins and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from Blastocladiella emersonii

The stoichiometry of cyclic AMP binding protein to cyclic AMP in sporulating cells of Blastocladiella emersonii and the resistance of protein-bound cyclic AMP to enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis suggest that the distribution of cyclic AMP between free and protein-bound pools is an important factor in cyclic AMP metabolism. Most but not all of the cyclic AMP binding protein in sporulating cells is associated with a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.
