A study of rat epididymal sperm adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinases: maturation differences and cellular location.

The photoaffinity analog [32P]8-N3 cAMP (8-azido adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate was used to analyze the membrane sidedness of rat sperm cAMP binding proteins during epididymal maturation. Evidence is presented here which supports the hypothesis that 35-45% of the regulatory subunits of the Type I and Type II cAMP-dependent protein kinases are readily available to externally added cyclic nucleotide. It was observed by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and autoradiography that only two rat sperm proteins (Mr = 49K and 55K) were photolabeled which comigrated on gels with partially purified Type I and Type II regulatory subunits, respectively. Both of these photolabeled epididymal sperm proteins were saturated at physiological titers of [32P]8-N3cAMP and photoincorporation of [32P]8-N3 cAMP was specific since other SDS-resolvable sperm proteins did not photoincorporate the analog. Caput and cauda sperm protein photoincorporation could be effectively blocked by low levels of cAMP, but not by cGMP, ATP or GTP. Sperm epididymal maturation coincided with changes in the cAMP-dependent protein kinase subunits since cauda sperm contained more available Type II than did caput sperm. A subcellular analysis of cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunit in head and tail fractions was done for caput and cauda sperm and demonstrated that the tail fractions showed more photo-labeling of both Type I and II regulatory subunits than did the head fractions.
