Dynamic properties of neural cAMP-dependent protein kinase in Drosophila

In vitro autophosphorylation capacity of regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase from head homogenates of Drosophila can be increased by visual stimulation of the living fly. A similar increase can be observed if the protein kinase is released from washed membrane fractions after treatme...

More Information
Summary:In vitro autophosphorylation capacity of regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase from head homogenates of Drosophila can be increased by visual stimulation of the living fly. A similar increase can be observed if the protein kinase is released from washed membrane fractions after treatment with Ca 2+.
