Ca2+-dependent protein phosphorylation of purely cholinergic Torpedo synaptosomes.
Authors:D M Michaelson  S Avissar
Abstract:Preincubation of intact, purely cholinergic Torpedo synaptosomes with 32P]Pi results in the incorporation of 32P into about 10 specific proteins. Depolarizing the Torpedo synaptosomes by a high K+ buffer or treatment with the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 result in Ca2+ uptake, in acetylcholine (ACh) release, and in a marked increase of 32P incorporation into a specific protein band with an apparent subunit molecular weight of 100,000 (band alpha). The kinetics of synaptosomal 45Ca2+ uptake, of 32P incorporation into band alpha, and of ACh release is similar and reach maximal values about 45 s after the synaptosomes have been treated. Sr2+ and Ba2+ can replace Ca2+ in evoking both K+ depolarization-dependent ACh release and 32P incorporation into band alpha. The effectiveness of these ions (Ca2+ greater than Sr2+ greater than Ba2+) is similar in both cases. The data presented suggest that Ca2+ accumulation by Torpedo synaptosomes leads to an increase in the phosphorylation of a specific protein and to ACh release. This phosphoprotein may be involved in the regulation of presynaptic processes which underly ACh release.
