The luminal SR protein CSQ2 contains phosphate on roughly half of the serines found in its C-terminus. The sequence around phosphorylation sites in CSQ2 suggest that the in vivo kinase is protein kinase CK2, even though this enzyme is thought to be present only in the cytoplasm and nucleus. To test whether CSQ2 kinase is CK2, we combined approaches that reduced CK2 activity and CSQ2 phosphorylation in intact cells. Tetrabromocinnamic acid, a specific inhibitor of CK2, inhibited both the CSQ2 kinase and CK2 in parallel across a range of concentrations. In intact primary adult rat cardiomyocytes and COS cells, 24 h of drug treatment reduced phosphorylation of overexpressed CSQ2 by 75%. Down-regulation of CK2α subunits in COS cells using siRNA, produced a 90% decrease in CK2α protein levels, and CK2-silenced COS cells exhibited a twofold reduction in CSQ2 kinase activity. Phosphorylation of CSQ2 overexpressed in CK2-silenced cells was also reduced by a factor of two. These data suggested that CSQ2 in intact cells is phosphorylated by CK2, a cytosolic kinase. When phosphorylation site mutants were analyzed in COS cells, the characteristic rough endoplasmic reticulum form of the CSQ2 glycan (GlcNAc2Man9,8) underwent phosphorylation site dependent processing such that CSQ2-nonPP (Ser to Ala mutant) and CSQ2-mimPP (Ser to Glu mutant) produced apparent lower and greater levels of ER retention, respectively. Taken together, these data suggest CK2 can phosphorylate CSQ2 co-translationally at biosynthetic sites in rough ER, a process that may result in changes in its subsequent trafficking through the secretory pathway.  相似文献

Cardiac calsequestrin (CSQ) is a protein that traffics to and concentrates inside sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) terminal cisternae, a protein secretory compartment of uncertain origin. To investigate trafficking of CSQ within standard ER compartments, we expressed CSQ in nonmuscle cell lines and examined its localization by immunofluorescence and its molecular structure from the mass spectrum of total cellular CSQ. In all cells examined, CSQ was a highly phosphorylated protein with a glycan structure predictive of ER-retained proteins: Man9,8GlcNAc2 lacking terminal GlcNAc. Immunostaining was restricted to polymeric ER cisternae. Secretory pathway disruption by brefeldin A and thapsigargin led to altered CSQ glycosylation and phosphorylation consistent with post-ER trafficking. When epitope-tagged forms of CSQ were expressed in the same cells, mannose trimming of CSQ glycans was far more extensive, and C-terminal phosphorylation sites were nearly devoid of phosphate, in complete contrast to the highly phosphorylated wild-type protein that concentrates in all cells tested. Epitope-tagged CSQ also showed a reduced ER staining compared to wild-type protein, with significant staining in juxta-Golgi compartments. Loss of ER retention due to epitope tags or thapsigargin and resultant changes in protein structure or levels of bound Ca(2+) point to CSQ polymerization as an ER/SR retention mechanism.  相似文献

The Drosophila homolog of cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB), dCREB2, exists with serine 231, equivalent to mammalian serine 133, in a predominantly phosphorylated state. Thus, unlike the mammalian protein, the primary regulation of dCREB2 may occur at a different step from serine 231 phosphorylation. Although bacterially expressed dCREB2 bound cAMP-response element sites, protein from Drosophila extracts was unable to do so unless treated with phosphatase. Phosphorylation of recombinant protein by casein kinase (CK) I or II, but not calcium-calmodulin kinase II or protein kinase A, inhibited DNA binding. Up to four conserved CK sites likely to be phosphorylated in vivo were responsible for this effect, and these sites were phosphorylated by a kinase present in Drosophila cell extracts that biochemically resembles CKII. We propose that the relative importance of different signaling pathways in regulating CREB activity may differ between Drosophila and mammals. In Drosophila, the dephosphorylation of CK sites appears to be the major regulatory step, while phosphorylation of serine 231 is necessary but secondary.  相似文献

Calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase was purified to apparent homogeneity from the total calmodulin-binding fraction of bovine heart in a single step by immunoaffinity chromatography. The isolated enzyme had significantly higher affinity for calmodulin than the bovine brain 60-kDa phosphodiesterase isozyme. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase was found to catalyze the phosphorylation of the purified cardiac calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase with the incorporation of 1 mol of phosphate/mol of subunit. The phosphodiesterase phosphorylation rate was increased severalfold by histidine without affecting phosphate incorporation into the enzyme. Phosphorylation of phosphodiesterase lowered its affinity for calmodulin and Ca2+. At constant saturating concentrations of calmodulin (650 nM), the phosphorylated calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase required a higher concentration of Ca2+ (20 microM) than the nonphosphorylated phosphodiesterase (0.8 microM) for 50% activity. Phosphorylation could be reversed by the calmodulin-dependent phosphatase (calcineurin), and dephosphorylation was accompanied by an increase in the affinity of phosphodiesterase for calmodulin.  相似文献

Dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels exist in many different types of cells and are believed to be regulated by various protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions. The present study concerns the phosphorylation of a putative component of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels by the calcium and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C. A skeletal muscle peptide of 165 kDa, which is known to contain receptors for dihydropyridines, phenylalkylamines, and other Ca2+ channel effectors, was found to be an efficient substrate for protein kinase C when the peptide was phosphorylated in its membrane-bound state. Protein kinase C incorporated 1.5-2.0 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide within 2 min into the 165-kDa peptide in incubations carried out at 37 degrees C. In contrast to the membrane-bound peptide, the purified 165-kDa peptide in detergent solution was phosphorylated to a markedly less extent than its membrane-bound counterpart; less than 0.1 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide was incorporated. Preincubation of the membranes with several types of drugs known to be Ca2+ channel activators or inhibitors had no specific effects on the rate and/or extent of phosphorylation of the 165-kDa peptide by protein kinase C. The phosphorylation of the membrane-bound 165-kDa peptide by protein kinase C was compared to that catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and was found to be not additive. Prior phosphorylation of the 165-kDa peptide by cAMP-dependent protein kinase prevented subsequent phosphorylation of the peptide by protein kinase C. Phosphoamino acid analysis indicated that protein kinase C phosphorylated the 165-kDa peptide at both serine and threonine residues. Phosphopeptide mapping experiments showed that protein kinase C phosphorylated one unique site in the 165-kDa peptide, and, in addition, other sites that were phosphorylated by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or a multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. The results suggest that the 165-kDa dihydropyridine/phenylalkylamine receptor could serve as a physiological substrate of protein kinase C in intact cells. It is therefore possible that the regulation of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels by activators of protein kinase C may occur at the level of this peptide.  相似文献

In this paper we demonstrate that the Candida albicans 20S proteasome is in vivo phosphorylated and is a good in vitro substrate (S(0.5) 14nM) of homologous protein kinase CK2 (CK2). We identify alpha6/C2, alpha3/C9, and alpha5/Pup2 proteasome subunits as the main in vivo phosphorylated and in vitro CK2-phosphorylatable proteasome components. In vitro phosphorylation by homologous CK2 holoenzyme occurs only in the presence of polylysine, a characteristic that distinguishes the yeast proteasomes from mammalian proteasomes which are phosphorylated by CK2 in the absence of polycations. The major in vivo phosphate acceptor is the alpha3/C9 subunit, being phosphorylated in serine, both in vivo and in vitro. The phosphopeptides generated by endoproteinase Glu-C digestion from in vivo labeled alpha3/C9 subunit, from in vitro phosphorylation by homologous CK2 holoenzyme, and from the recombinant alpha3/C9 subunit phosphorylated by recombinant human CK2-alpha subunit are identical, suggesting that CK2 is likely responsible for in vivo phosphorylation of this subunit. Direct mutational analysis shows that serine 248 is the residue of the alpha3/C9 subunit phosphorylated by CK2. The in vitro stoichiometry of phosphorylation of the alpha6/C2 and alpha3/C9 proteasome subunits by CK2 can be estimated as 0.7-0.8 and 0.4-0.5 mol of phosphate per mole of subunit, respectively. These results are consistent with the relative abundance of the unphosphorylated and phosphorylated isoforms of these subunits present in the purified 20S proteasome preparation. Our demonstration of phosphorylation of C. albicans proteasome suggests that phosphorylation might be a general mechanism of regulation of proteasome activity.  相似文献

alpha-Synuclein has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, since rare autosomal dominant mutations are associated with early onset of the disease and alpha-synuclein was found to be a major constituent of Lewy bodies. We have analyzed alpha-synuclein expression in transfected cell lines. In pulse-chase experiments alpha-synuclein appeared to be stable over long periods (t((1)/(2)) 54 h) and no endoproteolytic processing was observed. alpha-Synuclein was constitutively phosphorylated in human kidney 293 cells as well as in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. In both cell lines phosphorylation was highly sensitive to phosphatases, since okadaic acid markedly stabilized phosphate incorporation. Phosphoamino acid analysis revealed that phosphorylation occurred predominantly on serine. Using site-directed mutagenesis we have identified a major phosphorylation site at serine 129 within the C-terminal domain of alpha-synuclein. An additional site, which was phosphorylated less efficiently, was mapped to serine 87. The major phosphorylation site was located within a consensus recognition sequence of casein kinase 1 (CK-1). In vitro experiments and two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping provided further evidence that serine 129 was phosphorylated by CK-1 and CK-2. Moreover, phosphorylation of serine 129 was reduced in vivo upon inhibition of CK-1 or CK-2. These data demonstrate that alpha-synuclein is constitutively phosphorylated within its C terminus and may indicate that the function of alpha-synuclein is regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation.  相似文献

Phosducin-like protein (PhLP) is a member of the phosducin family of G-protein betagamma-regulators and exists in two splice variants. The long isoform PhLP(L) and the short isoform PhLP(S) differ by the presence or absence of an 83-amino acid N terminus. In isolated biochemical assay systems, PhLP(L) is the more potent Gbetagamma-inhibitor, whereas the functional role of PhLP(S) is still unclear. We now report that in intact HEK 293 cells, PhLP(S) inhibited Gbetagamma-induced inositol phosphate generation with approximately 20-fold greater potency than PhLP(L). Radiolabeling of transfected HEK 293 cells with [(32)P] revealed that PhLP(L) is constitutively phosphorylated, whereas PhLP(S) is not. Because PhLP(L) has several consensus sites for the constitutively active kinase casein kinase 2 (CK2) in its N terminus, we tested the phosphorylation of the recombinant proteins by either HEK cell cytosol in the presence or absence of kinase inhibitors or by purified CK2. PhLP(L) was a good CK2 substrate, whereas PhLP(S) and phosducin were not. Progressive truncation and serine/threonine to alanine mutations of the PhLP(L) N terminus identified a serine/threonine cluster (Ser-18/Thr-19/Ser-20) within a small N-terminal region of PhLP(L) (amino acids 5-28) as the site in which PhLP(L) function was modified in HEK 293 cells. In native tissue, PhLP(L) also seems to be regulated by phosphorylation because phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms of PhLP(L) were detected in mouse brain and adrenal gland. Moreover, the alternatively spliced isoform PhLP(S) was also found in adrenal tissue. Therefore, the physiological control of G-protein regulation by PhLP seems to involve phosphorylation by CK2 and alternative splicing of the regulator.  相似文献

Calreticulin is an abundant endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) protein that may carry out multiple functions inside cells. Except for calreticulin, all of the major ER/SR Ca2+-binding proteins are substrates for protein kinase CK2 in vitro, which led us to hypothesize that native calreticulin might exist in the phosphorylated form. To investigate this possibility, we purified calreticulin from cardiac microsomes and verified its identity by immunoblot analysis and sequencing of tryptic peptides. Purified calreticulin, like cardiac calsequestrin, contained endogenous phosphate as determined by a Malachite green assay for phosphate. Previous analyses of cardiac calsequestrin have localized phosphate to a single tryptic peptide containing serine phosphate on sites phosphorylated by protein kinase CK2. Using a similar procedure, we analyzed calreticulin tryptic peptides with Malachite green, localizing phosphate binding to a single calreticulin peptide 367LKEEEEDKK. As this peptide contains no phosphorylatable residues, our results suggest that calreticulin may tightly bind phosphate or a phosphate-containing molecule at this site.  相似文献

At relatively high concentrations of myosin light chain kinase, a second site on the 20,000-dalton light chain of smooth muscle myosin is phosphorylated (Ikebe, M., and Hartshorne, D. J. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 10027-10031). In this communication the site is identified and kinetics associated with its phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are described. The doubly phosphorylated 20,000-dalton light chain from turkey gizzard myosin was hydrolyzed with alpha-chymotrypsin and the phosphorylated peptide was isolated by reverse phase chromatography. Following amino acid analyses and partial sequence determinations the second site of phosphorylation is shown to be threonine 18. This site is distinct from the threonine residue phosphorylated by protein kinase C. The time courses of phosphorylation of serine 19 and threonine 18 in isolated light chains follow a single exponential indicating a random process, although the phosphorylation rates differ considerably. The values of kcat/Km for serine 19 and threonine 18 for isolated light chains are 550 and 0.2 min-1 microM-1, respectively. With intact myosin, phosphorylation of serine 19 is biphasic; kcat/Km values are 22.5 and 7.5 min-1 microM-1 for the fast and slow phases, respectively. In contrast, phosphorylation of threonine 18 in intact myosin is a random, but markedly slower process, kcat/Km = 0.44 min-1 microM-1. Dephosphorylation of doubly phosphorylated myosin (approximately 4 mol of phosphate/mol of myosin) and isolated light chains (approximately 2 mol of phosphate/mol of light chain) follows a random process and dephosphorylation of the serine 19 and threonine 18 sites occurs at similar rates.  相似文献

The tumor suppressor phosphatase PTEN regulates cell migration, growth, and survival by dephosphorylating phosphatidylinositol second messengers and signaling phosphoproteins. PTEN possesses a C-terminal noncatalytic regulatory domain that contains multiple putative phosphorylation sites, which could play an important role in the control of its biological activity. The protein kinase CK2 phosphorylated, in a constitutive manner, a cluster of Ser/Thr residues located at the PTEN C terminus. PTEN-phosphorylated defective mutants showed decreased stability in comparison with wild type PTEN and were more rapidly degraded by the proteasome. Inhibition of PTEN phosphorylation by the CK2 inhibitor 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-d-ribofuranosyl-benzimidazole also diminished the PTEN protein content. Our results support the notion that proper phosphorylation of PTEN by CK2 is important for PTEN protein stability to proteasome-mediated degradation.  相似文献

A casein kinase was highly purified from rabbit skeletal muscle whose substrate specificity and enzymatic properties were virtually identical to those of casein kinase-I from rabbit reticulocytes. Prolonged incubation of glycogen synthase with high concentrations of skeletal muscle casein kinase-I and Mg-ATP resulted in the incorporation of greater than 6 mol phosphate/mol subunit and decreased the activity ratio (+/- glucose-6P) from 0.8 to less than 0.02. The sites phosphorylated by casein kinase-I were all located in the N and C-terminal cyanogen bromide peptides, termed CB-1 and CB-2. At an incorporation of 6 mol phosphate/mol subunit, approximately equal to 2 mol/mol was present in CB-1 and approximately equal to 4 mol/mol in CB-2. Within CB-1, casein kinase-I phosphorylated the serines that were 3, 7 and 10 residues from the N-terminus of glycogen synthase, with minor phosphorylation at threonine-5. Within CB-2, approximately equal to 90% of the phosphate incorporated was located between residues 28 and 53, and at least five of the seven serine residues in this region were phosphorylated. The remaining 10% of phosphate incorporated into CB-2 was located between residues 98 and 123, mainly at a serine residue(s). Two of the major sites labelled by casein kinase-I (serine-3 and serine-10 of CB-1) are not phosphorylated by any other protein kinase. This will enable the role of casein kinase-I as a glycogen synthase kinase in vivo to be evaluated.  相似文献

Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) pp31 is a nuclear phosphoprotein that accumulates in the virogenic stroma, which is the viral replication center in the infected-cell nucleus, binds to DNA, and serves as a late expression factor. Considering that reversible phosphorylation could influence its functional properties, we examined phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of pp31 in detail. Our results showed that pp31 is posttranslationally phosphorylated by both cellular and virus-encoded or -induced kinases. Threonine phosphorylation of pp31 by the virus-specific kinase activity was sensitive to aphidicolin, indicating that it requires late viral gene expression. We also found that pp31 is dephosphorylated by a virus-encoded or -induced phosphatase(s), indicating that phosphorylation of pp31 is a dynamic process. Analysis of pp31 fusion proteins showed that pp31 contains at least three phosphorylation sites. The amino-terminal 100 amino acids of pp31 include at least one serine residue that is phosphorylated by a cellular kinase(s). The C-terminal 67 amino acids of pp31 include at least one threonine residue that is phosphorylated by the virus-specific kinase(s). Finally, this C-terminal domain of pp31 includes at least one serine that is phosphorylated by either a host or viral kinase(s). Interestingly, site-directed mutagenesis of the consensus threonine phosphorylation sites in the C-terminal domain of pp31 failed to prevent threonine phosphorylation, suggesting that the virus-specific kinase is unique and has an undetermined recognition site.  相似文献

Phosphorylation by protein kinase C of the mRNA cap binding protein purified as part of a cap binding protein complex (eIF-4F) or as a single protein (eIF-4E), has been examined. Significant phosphorylation (up to 1 mol of phosphate/mol of p25 subunit) occurs only when the protein is part of the eIF-4F complex. With purified eIF-4E, using the same conditions, up to 0.1 mol of phosphate can be incorporated. Tryptic phosphopeptide maps show that the site phosphorylated in the Mr 25,000 subunit of eIF-4F (eIF-4F p25) is the same as that modified in purified eIF-4E. Kinetic measurements obtained from initial rates indicate that the Km values for eIF-4F and eIF-4E are similar, although the Vmax is 5-6 times higher for the complex. Dephosphorylation of eIF-4F p25, previously phosphorylated with protein kinase C, occurs in reticulocyte lysate with a half-life of 15-20 min, whereas little dephosphorylation is observed after 15 min with the purified phosphorylated eIF-4E. Phosphorylation of eIF-4F on the p220 and p25 subunits does not affect the stability of the complex as indicated by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300. However, addition of non-phosphorylated eIF-4E to the phosphorylated complex results in the dissociation of the complex. These results suggest that interaction of p25 with other subunits in the complex greatly affects phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of p25. Since the rate of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation is significantly greater in the complex, regulation of the cap binding protein by phosphorylation appears to occur primarily on eIF-4F.  相似文献

We examined the effects of mutations of tyrosine and serine autophosphorylation sites on the dual specificity of the insulin receptor kinase (IRKD) in vitro using autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation and phosphopeptide mapping. For comparable studies, the recombinant kinases were overexpressed in the baculovirus system, purified, and analyzed. The phosphate incorporation into the enzymes was in the range of 3-4.5 mol/mol, and initial velocities of autophosphorylation were reduced up to 2-fold. However, the mutation Y1151F in the activation loop inhibited phosphate incorporation in the C-terminal serine residues 1275 and 1309, due to a 10-fold decrease of the initial velocity of serine autophosphorylation. Although the K(M) and V(MAX) values of this mutant were only slightly altered in substrate phosphorylation reactions using a recombinant C-terminal insulin receptor peptide (K(M): Y1151F, 9.9 +/- 0.4 microM; IRKD, 6.1 +/- 0.2 microM; V(MAX): Y1151F, 72 +/- 4 nmol min(-)(1) mg(-)(1); IRKD, 117 +/- 6 nmol min(-)(1) mg(-)(1)), diminished phosphate incorporation into serine residues of the peptide was observed. In contrast, the phosphorylation of a recombinant IRS-1 fragment, which was shown to be phosphorylated markedly on serine residues by IRKD, was not affected by any kinase mutation. These results underline that IRKD is a kinase with dual specificity. The substrate specificity toward C-terminal serine phosphorylation sites can be modified by a single amino acid substitution in the activation loop, whereas the specificity toward IRS-1 is not affected, suggesting that the C-terminus and the activation loop interact.  相似文献

C-protein purified from chicken cardiac myofibrils was phosphorylated with the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase to nearly 3 mol [32P]phosphate/mol C protein. Digestion of 32P-labeled C-protein with trypsin revealed that the radioactivity was nearly equally distributed in three tryptic peptides which were separated by reversed-phase HPLC. Fragmentation of 32P-labeled C-protein with CNBr showed that the isotope was incorporated at different ratios in three CNBr fragments which were separated on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Phosphorylation was present in both serine and threonine residues. Incubation of 32P-labeled C-protein with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 or 2A rapidly removed 30-40% of the [32P]phosphate. The major site(s) dephosphorylated by either one of the phosphatases was a phosphothreonine residue(s) apparently located on the same tryptic peptide and on the same CNBr fragment. CNBr fragmentation also revealed a minor phosphorylation site which was dephosphorylated by either of the phosphatases. Increasing the incubation period or the phosphatase concentration did not result in any further dephosphorylation of C-protein by phosphatase 1, but phosphatase 2A at high concentrations could completely dephosphorylate C-protein. These results demonstrate that C-protein phosphorylated with cAMP-dependent protein kinase can be dephosphorylated by protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. It is suggested that the enzyme responsible for dephosphorylation of C-protein in vivo is phosphatase 2A.  相似文献

Glycogen synthase has been purified from bovine heart to near homogeneity by a procedure including zonal sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. The purified enzyme had a subunit molecular weight of 88,000 ± 2000, an ID ratio of between 0.8 and 1.0, and contained less than 0.1 mol of covalently bound phosphate per mole of subunit. The rates, extent, and sites of phosphorylation of the cardiac enzyme were compared with those of skeletal muscle glycogen synthase as catalyzed by both the cardiac cAMP-dependent and a cardiac cAMP-independent protein kinases. The cardiac glycogen synthase was phosphorylated up to 1 mol of phosphate/mol of subunit by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, to at least 2 mol of phosphate/mol of subunit by the cAMP-independent protein kinase, and to at least 3 mol of phosphate/mol of subunit with the two protein kinases together. There was a linear correlation between the extent of phosphorylation and conversion of cardiac synthase I to the glucose 6-phosphate-dependent form. This correlation was independent of which kinase(s) catalyzed the phosphorylation. Maximum inactivation occurred at an incorporation of 2 mol of phosphate per subunit. Under equivalent conditions, the rates of phosphorylation of cardiac and skeletal muscle glycogen synthase by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase were identical. In contrast, the cardiac enzyme was phosphorylated at a faster rate by the homologous cardiac cAMP-independent protein kinase than was the skeletal muscle synthase by the latter cardiac protein kinase. Analysis of the sites of phosphorylation of the cardiac and skeletal muscle glycogen synthases by CNBr cleavage and trypsin hydrolysis indicated minor differences in the derived phosphopeptides.  相似文献

Phosphorylation of voltage-sensitive Na+ channels in neurons by protein kinase C slows Na+ channel inactivation and reduces peak Na+ currents. Na+ channels purified from rat brain and reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles under conditions that restore Na+ channel function were rapidly phosphorylated by protein kinase C on their 260-kDa alpha subunit. The phosphorylation reaction required Ca2+, diolein, and phosphatidylserine for activation of protein kinase C, and the rate of phosphorylation of reconstituted Na+ channels was 3- to 4-fold faster than for Na+ channels in detergent solution. Phosphorylation was on serine residues in three distinct tryptic phosphopeptides designated A, B, and C. Up to 2.5 mol of phosphate were incorporated per mol of Na+ channel. Following maximum phosphorylation by protein kinase C, cAMP-dependent protein kinase was able to incorporate more than 2.25 mol of phosphate per mol of Na+ channel indicating that these two kinases phosphorylate distinct sites. However, prior phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase prevented phosphorylation of phosphopeptide B indicating that both kinases phosphorylate the site in this peptide. Phosphopeptide B shown here to be phosphorylated by protein kinase C and phosphopeptide 7 previously shown to be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase co-migrate on two-dimensional phosphopeptide maps and evidently are identical. The reduction in peak Na+ currents caused by both protein kinase C and cAMP-dependent protein kinase may result from phosphorylation of this single common site.  相似文献

Phosphorylation of Animal Virus Proteins by a Virion Protein Kinase   总被引:12,自引:11,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
Compared with several other enveloped viruses, purified virions of frog virus 3 contained a relatively high activity of a protein kinase which catalyzed the phosphorylation of endogenous polypeptides or added substrate proteins. Virions also contained a phosphoprotein phosphatase activity which released phosphate covalently linked to proteins. It was possible to select reaction conditions where turnover of protein phosphoesters was minimal, as the phosphatase required Mn(2+) ions for activity whereas the protein kinase was active in the presence of Mg(2+) ions. Electrophoretic studies in polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate indicated that at least 10 of the virion polypeptides were phosphorylated in the in vitro protein kinase reaction. Characterization of these phosphoproteins demonstrated that the phosphate was incorporated predominantly in a phosphoester linkage with serine residues. The protein kinase was solubilized by disrupting purified virions with a nonionic detergent in a high-ionic-strength buffer and was separated from many of the virion substrate proteins by zonal centrifugation in glycerol gradients. The partially purified protein kinase would phosphorylate polypeptides of many different animal viruses, and maximal activity was not dependent on added cyclic nucleotides. These properties distinguished the virion protein kinase from a well characterized cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase which phosphorylated viral proteins only to a small extent.  相似文献

Paramyosin from Caenorhabditis elegans was examined for post-translational modification by phosphorylation. Paramyosin purified from populations of mixed-age animals contained 0.7 to 2.0 moles of phosphate per mole of paramyosin. Paramyosin was also phosphorylated in vitro by an endogenous kinase in the particulate fraction. Analysis of the in vitro phosphorylated paramyosin in comparison with the DNA sequence of the unc-15 paramyosin gene of C. elegans shows that serine residues in the non-alpha-helical N-terminal region are the targets of the kinase. The N-terminal region of paramyosin has significant similarity to the non-helical C-terminal region of the two body wall myosin heavy chains of C. elegans. All three regions contain three copies of a Ser-*-Ser-*-Ala motif, the most likely target for phosphorylation in paramyosin, suggesting that these regions may be modified by the same kinase.  相似文献
