Abstract excerpt
Discrimination between cAMP and cGMP is a critical feature of cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinases. An alanine/threonine difference in the cyclic nucleotide-binding sites has been proposed to provide a structural basis for this functional distinction. Site-directed mutagenesis of this alanine to a threonine in a cAMP-binding site of cAMP kinase produced a mutant with markedly increased cGMP affinity as...
