The cDNA of the two isoforms of bovine cGMP‐dependent protein kinase

Abstract
CDNAs encoding the isoform Iα of the cGMP‐dependent protein kinase were isolated from a bovine trachea smooth muscle cDNA library constructed in λgt10. The deduced protein sequence is identical with the protein sequence obtained by Edman degradation of the bovine lung enzyme [(1984) Biochemistry 23, 4207–4218]. Alternate cDNA clones were isolated which code for a protein slightly different within the aminoterminal part from the known amino acid sequence. These alternate cDNAs contain the sequence of a peptide identified in the isoform 1β of cGMP‐dependent protein kinase. Northern blot analysis of poly(A)+ RNA from bovine trachea smooth muscle indicated the presence of two different mRNA species of about 6.2 kb.
