Abstract: | Direct phosphorylation of purified rat brain guanylate cyclase by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is demonstrated. In the presence of γ-32P]ATP, 32P was incorporated into the protein to the extent of 0.8 to 0.9 mol/mol of guanylate cyclase. The presence of 32P in the guanylate cyclase molecule was demonstrated by gel-filtration and by autoradiography after gel electrophoresis. The phosphorylation was accompanied by an increase in enzyme activity, characterized by an increase of VM. These results suggest that the activity of guanylate cyclase may be regulated in vivo by phosphorylation. |
