To begin to understand the regulation and roles of neurofilament phosphorylation, we localized the phosphorylated domains on the 140-145-kDa neurofilament subunit (NF-M) and identified the protein kinases that may specifically phosphorylate the sites within these domains in vivo. Mouse retinal ganglion cells were labeled in vivo by injecting mice intravitreally with [32P]orthophosphate, and neurofilament-enriched fractions were obtained from the optic axons. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide map analysis of NF-M after digestion with alpha-chymotrypsin and trypsin revealed seven major (M8-M14) and at least eight minor (M1-M7 and M15) phosphopeptides. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide map analyses of NF-M phosphorylated in vitro by individual purified or endogenous axonal cytoskeleton-associated protein kinases showed that five peptides (M9-M13) were substrates for the heparin-sensitive second messenger-independent protein kinase(s). Protein kinase A and/or protein kinase C phosphorylated eight other peptides (M1-M8). Two alpha-chymotryptic peptides (C1 and C2) that were phosphorylated by protein kinase A but not by the endogenous independent kinase(s) were isolated by high performance liquid chromatography on a reverse-phase C8 column. Partial sequence analysis of peptides C1 (S R V S G P S ...) and C2 (S R G S P S T V S ...) showed that the peptides were localized on the head domain of NF-M at 25 and 41 residues from the amino terminus, respectively. Tryptic digest of peptide C1 (less than 12 kDa) generated the phosphopeptides M1-M6. Peptide C2 was a breakdown product of peptide C1. Since the polypeptide sites targeted by second messenger-independent kinase(s) associated with neurofilaments are localized on the carboxyl-terminal domain, separate aspects of NF-M function appear to be regulated by separate kinase systems that selectively phosphorylate head or tail domains of the polypeptide.  相似文献

A combination of in vivo and in vitro approaches were used to characterize phosphorylation sites on the 70,000-kilodalton (kDa) subunit of neurofilaments (NF-L) and to identify the protein kinases that are likely to mediate these modifications in vivo. Neurofilament proteins in a single class of neurons, the retinal ganglion cells, were pulse-labeled in vivo by injecting mice intravitreously with [32P]orthophosphate. Radiolabeled neurofilaments were isolated after they had advanced along optic axons, and the individual subunits were separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Two-dimensional alpha-chymotryptic phosphopeptide map analysis of NF-L revealed three phosphorylation sites: an intensely labeled peptide (L-1) and two less intensely labeled peptides (L-2 and L-3). The alpha-chymotryptic peptide L-1 was identified as the 11-kDa segment containing the C terminus of NF-L. The ability of these peptides to serve as substrates for specific protein kinases were examined by incubating neurofilament preparations with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of purified cAMP-dependent protein kinase or appropriate activators and/or inhibitors of endogenous cytoskeleton-associated protein kinases. The heparin-sensitive, calcium- and cyclic nucleotide-independent kinase associated with the cytoskeleton selectively phosphorylated L-1 and L-3 but had little, if any, activity toward L-2. When this kinase was inhibited with heparin, cAMP addition to the neurofilament preparation stimulated the phosphorylation of L-2, and addition of the purified catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase induced intense labeling of L-2. At higher labeling efficiencies, the exogenous kinase also phosphorylated L-3 and several sites at which labeling was not detected in vivo; however, L-1 was not a substrate. Calcium and calmodulin added to neurofilament preparations in the presence of heparin modestly stimulated the phosphorylation of L-1 and L-3, but not L-2, and the stimulation was reversed by trifluoperazine. The selective phosphorylation of different polypeptide domains on NF-L by second messenger-dependent and -independent kinases suggests multiple functions for phosphate groups on this protein.  相似文献

Phosphorylation of neurofilament proteins by protein kinase C   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
R K Sihag  A Y Jeng  R A Nixon 《FEBS letters》1988,233(1):181-185
The low molecular mass (70 kDa) subunit of neurofilaments (NF-L) contains at least three phosphorylation sites in vivo and is phosphorylated by multiple kinases in a site-specific manner [(1987) J. Neurochem. 48, S101; Sihag, R.K. and Nixon, R.A. submitted]. In this study, we observed that the three subunits of neurofilament proteins from retinal ganglion cell neurons are substrates for purified mouse brain protein kinase C. Two-dimensional alpha-chymotryptic phosphopeptide map analyses of the NF-L subunit demonstrated that protein kinase C phosphorylates four polypeptide sites, two of which incorporate phosphate when retinal ganglion cells are pulse-radiolabeled with [32P]orthophosphate in vivo.  相似文献

Neurofilaments are neuron-specific intermediate filaments. They are classed into three groups according to their molecular masses: neurofilament heavy, middle and light chains (NF-H, NF-M and NF-L). Neurofilaments assemble and form through the association of their central alpha-helical coiled-coil rod domains. NF-H and NF-M are distinct from NF-L as they contain a carboxyl-terminal tail domain, which appears to form connections with adjacent structures and other neurofilaments. Together with other axonal components such as microtubules, they form the dynamic axonal cytoskeleton. They maintain and regulate neuronal cytoskeletal plasticity through the regulation of neurite outgrowth, axonal caliber and axonal transport. Neurofilaments contain KSP repeats that are consensus motifs for the proline-directed kinases and are extensively phosphorylated in vivo, and their functions are thought to be regulated through their phosphorylation. Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is a proline-directed kinase, whose activity is restricted to the neuron through the neuronal-specific distribution of its activators p35 and p39. Cdk5 is the only kinase that affects the electrophoretic mobility of human NF-H and is thought to be the major neurofilament kinase. Cdk5 is involved in crosstalk with other signal transduction pathways such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase and myelin-associated glycoprotein pathways to influence the phosphorylation of neurofilaments and other cytoskeletal proteins. Both the hyperactivation of Cdk5 activity and subsequent hyperphosphorylation of neurofilaments and the microtubule-associated protein tau have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Here we review the functions of neurofilaments and the significance of Cdk5 phosphorylation of neurofilaments.  相似文献

Ser-473 is solely phosphorylated in vivo in the tail region of neurofilament L (NF-L). With peptides including the native phosphorylation site, it was not possible to locate responsible kinases. We therefore adopted full-length dephosphorylated NF-L as the substrate, and employed MALDI/TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization/time of flight) mass spectrometry and a site-specific phosphorylation-dependent antibody recognizing Ser-473 phosphorylation. The antibody showed that casein kinase I (CK I) as well as casein kinase II (CK II) phosphorylated Ser-473 in vitro, while neither GSK-3beta nor calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II did so. However, the mass spectra of the tail fragments of the phosphorylated NF-L indicated that CK II was the kinase mediating Ser-473 phosphorylation in vitro as opposed to CK I, because CK I phosphorylated another site as well as Ser-473 in vitro. The antibody also demonstrated that NF-L phosphorylated at Ser-473 was abundant in the neuronal perikarya of the rat cortex, indicating that phosphorylation of Ser-473 may take place there. This result may support the suggestion that CK II is the kinase responsible for Ser-473 phosphorylation. Despite many reports showing that CK I mediates phosphorylation of neurofilaments, CK II may phosphorylate NF-L in vivo.  相似文献

Protein kinase A phosphorylates retinal phosducin on serine 73 in situ   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Photoreceptors of vertebrate retinas contain a 33,000-dalton phosphoprotein, phosducin, which complexes with the beta, gamma subunits of the photoreceptor G-protein (guanine nucleotide-binding protein), transducin. In situ, the retinal content of phosphorylated phosducin is modulated by light in conjunction with light-triggered changes in intracellular cyclic nucleotide concentration. In vitro, phosducin is phosphorylated by either exogenous or endogenous protein kinase A. 32P-Labeled rat retina phosducin was isolated by immunoprecipitation either after phosphorylation by protein kinase A in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP or after incubation of retinas in darkness with 32Pi. In either case, phosphoamino acid analysis showed that greater than 98% of 32P was linked to serine, with less than 2% to threonine. Two-dimensional peptide mapping showed that [32P]phosphoserine was associated with the same characteristic set of tryptic peptides. Furthermore, Cleveland peptide analysis using four different proteases showed that either sample exhibited identical patterns of phosphopeptides which were characteristic of the protease used. Identical phosphopeptide maps were also obtained from 32P-labeled bovine retina phosducin, indicating that the serine phosphorylation site for protein kinase A is conserved between rat and bovine. Edman degradation of phosphopeptides derived from 32P-labeled bovine phosducin showed that radioactive phosphate was incorporated into serine residue 73 which is located within a consensus phosphorylation sequence for protein kinase A (-R-K-M-S73(P)-). These observations are uniformly in agreement with protein kinase A being the endogenous kinase that phosphorylates phosducin in vivo.  相似文献

Although neurofilaments are among the most highly phosphorylated proteins extant, relatively little is known about the kinases involved in their phosphorylation. The majority of the phosphates present on the two higher-molecular-mass neurofilament subunits are added to multiply repeated sequence motifs in the tail. We have examined the specificity of a neurofilament-associated kinase (NFAK) partially purified from chicken spinal cord that selectively phosphorylates the middle-molecular-mass neurofilament subunit, NF-M. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping of 32P-labeled NF-M shows that, in vitro, NFAK phosphorylates a subset of peptides phosphorylated in vivo in cultured neurons. The absence of a complete complement of labeled phosphopeptides following in vitro phosphorylation, compared with phosphorylation in vivo, is not due to a lack of availability of phosphorylation sites because the same maps are obtained when enzymatically dephosphorylated NF-M is used as an in vitro substrate. Phosphopeptide maps from in vitro-phosphorylated NF-M and those from a recombinant fusion protein containing only a segment of the tail piece of chicken NF-M reveal identical labeled peptides. The fusion protein lacks a segment containing 17 KXX(S/T)P putative phosphorylation sites contained in the tail of chicken NF-M but contains a segment that includes four KSPs and a KSD site also present in the intact tail. These results suggest (a) that NFAK mediates the phosphorylation of some, but not all, potential phosphorylation sites within the tail of NF-M and (b) that multiple kinases are necessary for complete phosphorylation of the NF-M tail.  相似文献

Protein kinase C phosphorylated the major mammalian neurofilament protein (NF-L) with approximately 3 mol phosphate per mol protein. The phosphorylated NF-L no longer formed the filaments. Sequential analysis of the tryptic phosphopeptides, together with the known primary sequence, revealed that Ser-12, Ser-27, Ser-33 and Ser-51 were phosphorylated by protein kinase C. These findings contribute toward elucidation of mechanisms regulating the functions of neurofilaments.  相似文献

Abstract: In this report, the phosphorylation sites of neurofilament protein of medium molecular mass (NF-M) by protein kinase FA/glycogen synthase kinase 3α (kinase FA/GSK-3α) were determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis/TLC, phosphoamino acid analysis, HPLC, Edman degradation, and peptide sequencing. Kinase FA/GSK-3α phosphorylates NF-M predominantly on serine, residue. Three major tryptic phosphopeptide peaks were resolved by C18 reverse-phase HPLC. Edman degradation and peptide sequence analysis revealed that AKS(p)PVSK is the phosphorylation site sequence for the first major peak. When mapping with the amino acid sequence of neurofilament, we finally demonstrate Ser603-Pro, one of the in vivo sites in NF-M, as the major site phosphorylated by kinase FA/GSK-3α. By using the same approach, we also identified the in vivo sites of Ser502-Pro, Ser506-Pro, and Ser666-Pro as the other three major sites in NF-M phosphorylated by kinase FA/GSK-3α. Taken together, the results provide initial evidence that kinase FA/GSK-3α may represent a physiologically relevant protein kinase involved in the in vivo phosphorylation of NF-M. Because Ser502, Ser506, Ser603, and Ser666 are all flanked by a carboxyl-terminal proline residue, the results provide further evidence that FA/GSK-3α may represent a proline-directed protein kinase involved in the structure-function regulation of the neuronal cytoskeletal system.  相似文献

Abstract: In a previous study, protein kinase FA/glycogen synthase kinase-3 ( FA/GSK-3 ) was identified as a myelin basic protein (MBP) kinase associated with intact brain myelin. In this report, the phosphorylation sites of MBP by kinase FA/GSk-3 were further determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis/TLC, phosphoamino acid analysis, tryptic peptide mapping, Edman degradation, and direct sequencing. Kinase FA/GSK-3 phosphorylates MBP on both threonine and serine residues. Three tryptic phosphopeptide peaks were resolved by C18 reverse-phase HPLC. Sequential manual Edman degradation together with direct sequence analysis revealed that T(p)PPPSQGK is the phosphorylation site sequence for the first major phosphopeptide peak. When mapping with the bovine brain MBP sequence, we finally demonstrate Thr97-Pro, one of the in vivo phosphorylation sites in MBP, as the major site phosphorylated by kinase FA/GSK-3, implicating a physiologically relevant role of FA/GSK-3 in the regulation of brain myelin function. By using the same approach, we also identified NIVT94(p)PR as the phosphorylation site sequence in the second major tryptic phosphopeptide derived from [32P]MBP phosphorylated by kinase FA/GSK-3, further indicating that kinase FA/GSK-3 represents a Thr-Pro motif-directed MBP kinase involved in the phosphorylation of brain myelin.  相似文献

Abstract: In previous studies we have identified Ser502, Ser528, and Ser534 as target sites in chicken neurofilament middle molecular mass protein (NF-M) for casein kinase I (CKI) in vitro and have shown that these sites are also phosphorylated in vivo. We now make use of a combination of molecular biological and protein chemical techniques to show that two additional in vivo phosphorylation sites in chicken NF-M, Ser464 and Ser471, can also be phosphorylated by CKI in vitro. These two sites are conserved in higher vertebrate NF-M molecules, and recombinant protein constructs containing the homologous rat NF-M peptides can be phosphorylated by CKI in vitro, suggesting that phosphorylation of these sites is conserved at least in higher vertebrates. The two new sites are adjacent to a conserved peptide sequence (VEE-IIEET-V) found once in higher vertebrate NF-M molecules and twice in lamprey NF-180. Variants of this sequence are also found in neurofilament low and high molecular mass proteins (NF-L and NF-H) and α-internexin, and in mammalian NF-L are known to be associated with in vivo phosphorylation sites. We speculate that CKI phosphorylation in general, and these sites in particular, may be important in neurofilament function.  相似文献

In an effort to characterize the signal transduction mechanisms that operate to regulate homeodomain protein function, we have analyzed the phosphorylation state of two homeodomain proteins, Hoxb-6 and Hoxc-8, in vitro and in vivo. The baculovirus expression system was employed to demonstrate that Hoxb-6 is phosphorylated in Sf9 cells while Hoxc-8 is not. Using two-dimensional tryptic phosphopeptide mapping and purified protein kinases, we demonstrate that Hoxb-6 is phosphorylated in vitro by casein kinase II and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The casein kinase II phosphorylation site was mapped to serine-214. Two-dimensional tryptic phosphopeptide mapping of immunoprecipitated Hoxb-6 from mouse embryonic spinal cords demonstrates that the same peptide phosphorylated in vitro and in Sf9 cells by casein kinase II is also phosphorylated in vivo. The conservation of this site in several homeodomain proteins from various species is discussed.  相似文献

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase both in vitro and in vivo. Recently, it has been demonstrated that phosphorylation of the nicotinic receptor by this kinase increases its rate of rapid desensitization. We now report the identification of the cAMP-dependent phosphorylation sites on the gamma and delta subunits. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping of the phosphorylated gamma and delta subunits, after limit proteolysis with thermolysin, indicated that each subunit is phosphorylated on a single site. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the 32P-labeled subunits demonstrates that phosphorylation had occurred exclusively on serine residues. Purified phosphorylated subunits were cleaved with cyanogen bromide and the resultant phosphopeptides were purified by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Shorter phosphopeptides, obtained by secondary digestion with trypsin, were purified and subjected to both automated gas-phase sequencing and manual Edman degradation. The results demonstrate that the gamma subunit was phosphorylated at Ser-353, contained within the sequence Arg-Arg-Ser(P)-Ser-Phe-Ile and that the delta subunit was phosphorylated at Ser-361, contained within the sequence Arg-Ser-Ser(P)-Ser-Val-Gay-Tyr-Ser-Lys. Determination of the sites phosphorylated within the structure of the gamma and delta subunits should contribute to the molecular characterization of the regulation of desensitization of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor by protein phosphorylation.  相似文献

Ser55 of neurofilament L (NF-L) is reported to be partly phosphorylated in neurons and to be phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Bovine NF-L was phosphorylated by PKA in a low concentration of MgCl2 (0.3 mM) and digested by trypsin. Trypsin-digested fragments were assigned by MALDI/ TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization/ time-of-flight) mass spectrometry. Phosphorylation sites were found at Ser41, Ser55, and Ser62 in the head region, with Ser55 considered the preferred site. A site-specific phosphorylation-dependent antibody against Ser55 rendered NF-L phosphorylated at Ser55 detectable in primary cultured rat neurons. One-hour treatment with 20 nM okadaic acid increased the phosphorylation level of Ser55, and co-treatment with 10 microM forskolin enhanced it. However, forskolin alone did not elevate the phosphorylation level. As a consequence, NF-L may be phosphorylated at Ser55 by PKA or by a PKA-like kinase in vivo; however, the phosphorylation level of Ser55 may be modulated by certain phosphatases sensitive to okadaic acid.  相似文献

The MET proto-oncogene encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor for HGF (p190MET). In this work, p190MET was immunoprecipitated, allowed to phosphorylate in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP, and digested with trypsin. A major phosphopeptide was purified by reverse phase chromatography. The phosphorylated tyrosine was identified as residue 1235 (Tyr1235) by Edman covalent radiosequencing. A synthetic peptide derived from the corresponding MET sequence was phosphorylated by p190MET in an in vitro assay and coeluted in reverse phase chromatography. Tyr1235 lies within the tyrosine kinase domain of p190MET, within a canonical tyrosine autophosphorylation site that shares homology with the corresponding region of the insulin, CSF-1 and platelet-derived growth factor receptors, and of p60src and p130gag-fps. The p190MET kinase is constitutively phosphorylated on tryosine in a gastric carcinoma cell line (GTL16), due to the amplification and overexpression of the MET gene. Metabolic labeling of GTL-16 cells with [32P]orthophosphate followed by immunoprecipitation and tryptic phosphopeptide mapping of p190MET showed that Tyr1235 is a major site of tyrosine phosphorylation in vivo as well. Since phosphorylation activates p190MET kinase, we propose a regulatory role for Tyr1235.  相似文献

Proline-directed protein kinase (PDPK), a complex of p34cdc2 and p58cyclin A, phosphorylates bovine neurofilaments (NFs) in vitro. Incubation of intact filaments with PDPK led to strong labeling of the heavy (NF-H) and middle (NF-M) molecular weight NF proteins and weaker labeling of the low molecular weight protein (NF-L). All three proteins were phosphorylated in solution, with the best substrate being NF-H. Proteins that had been dephosphorylated by enzymatic treatment were better substrates than native proteins--as many as 6 mol of phosphate were incorporated per mole of NF-H. Partial proteolytic cleavage experiments combined with two-dimensional peptide mapping indicated that NF-H and NF-M were phosphorylated predominantly in the tail domains, with some phosphate also appearing in the heads. Soluble NF-L is phosphorylated on the head domain peptide L-3, whereas NF-L within intact filaments is phosphorylated only on the tail domain peptide L-1. Phosphorylation does not lead to filament disassembly. A possible role for PDPK in NF phosphorylation in vivo is discussed.  相似文献

A highly purified preparation of protein kinase FA (where FA is the activating factor for phosphatase 1)/glycogen synthase kinase 3 from rabbit muscle readily phosphorylated bovine neurofilaments. All three neurofilament proteins, the high, middle, and low molecular proteins (NF-H, NF-M, and NF-L), were phosphorylated when intact filaments were incubated with the kinase. Experiments with individual proteins showed that NF-M was the best substrate. At protein concentrations of 0.13 mg/ml, the initial rate of NF-M phosphorylation was 30% of that observed for glycogen synthase. Km values were 0.24 mg/ml (7 x 10(-7) M tetramer) for glycogen synthase and 0.10 mg/ml (5 x 10(-7) M dimer) for NF-M. Vmax values were 0.36 mumol/min/mg for glycogen synthase and 0.035 mumol/min/mg for NF-M. Dephosphorylated NF-M was phosphorylated only half as much as native NF-M; this is consistent with the known substrate specificity of the kinase. The possible involvement of FA/GSK-3 in the phosphorylation of neurofilaments in vivo is discussed.  相似文献

Effects of phosphorylation of the neurofilament L protein (NF-L) on the reassembly system were studied by both sedimentation experiments and low-angle rotary shadowing. Bovine spinal cord NF-L was phosphorylated with 3-4 mol/mol protein by either the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase C. Phosphorylated NF-L could not assemble into filaments. Phosphorylation by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase C inhibited the same step of the reassembly process. Phosphorylated NF-L remained as an 8-chain complex even in favorable conditions for reassembly. The extent of the effect of phosphorylation on the filamentous structure of NF-L was also investigated by using the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The amount of unassembled NF-L increased linearly with increased phosphorylation in the sedimentation experiments. Structural observations indicated that 1 or 2 mol of phosphorylation is enough to inhibit reassembly and to induce disassembly, and the disassembly process was also observed. The filaments were shown to unravel with disassembly. Star-like clusters, which we reported as being the initial stage of reassembly, were also identified.  相似文献

Experiments were conducted to determine whether sucrose synthase (SuSy) was phosphorylated in the elongation zone of maize (Zea mays L.) leaves. The approximately 90-kD subunit of SuSy was 32P-labeled on seryl residue(s) when excised shoots were fed [32P]orthophosphate. Both isoforms of SuSy (the SS1 and SS2 proteins) were phosphorylated in vivo, and tryptic peptide-mapping analysis suggested a single, similar phosphorylation site in both proteins. A combination of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and automated Edman sequencing analysis unequivocally identified the phosphorylation site in the maize SS2 protein as serine-15. This site was phosphorylated in vitro by endogenous protein kinase(s) in a strictly Ca(2+)-dependent manner. A synthetic peptide, based on the phosphorylation site sequence, was used to identify and partially purify an endogenous Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase(s) from the maize leaf elongation zone and expanding spinach leaves. Phosphorylation of SuSy in vitro selectively activates the cleavage reaction by increasing the apparent affinity of the enzyme for sucrose and UDP, suggesting that phosphorylation may be of regulatory significance. Conservation of the phosphorylation site, and the sequences surrounding it, among plant species suggests that phosphorylation of SuSy may be widespread, if not universal, in plants.  相似文献

Purified rat liver ATP citrate-lyase is phosphorylated on serine residues by an insulin-stimulated cytosolic kinase activity partially purified from rat adipocytes [Yu, Khalaf & Czech (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 16677-16685]. The Km for lyase phosphorylation by this hormone-sensitive kinase activity is approx. 3 microM. Two-dimensional tryptic-peptide mapping of the 32P-labelled lyase reveals that the kinase-catalysed phosphorylation occurs primarily on a specific peptide. In intact 32P-labelled adipocytes, insulin enhances the serine phosphorylation of ATP citrate-lyase by 2-3-fold. Tryptic digestion of the 32P-labelled lyase immunopurified from insulin-treated adipocytes also yields one major phosphopeptide. 32P-labelled lyase tryptic peptides derived from labelling experiments in vitro and in vivo exhibit identical electrophoretic and chromatographic migration profiles. Furthermore, radio-sequencing of the phosphopeptide from lyase 32P-labelled in vitro indicates that serine-3 from the N-terminus is phosphorylated by the insulin-stimulated cytosolic kinase, in agreement with previous studies on the position of the phosphoserine residue in ATP citrate-lyase isolated from insulin-treated cells. Taken together, the similarity in site-specific phosphorylation of ATP citrate-lyase from insulin-treated adipocytes to that catalysed by the hormone-activated cytosolic kinase in vitro strongly suggests that this kinase mediates insulin action on lyase phosphorylation in intact cells.  相似文献
