When isolated intact rat liver mitochondria are incubated with [Y-~*P]ATP the major phosphoryfated proteins are those of 47 and 36 kDa. Phosphorylation of the 4'7 kDa protein, but not of the 36 kDa protein, is inhibited by ~arboxyatractyloside, an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP uptake, while phosphorylation of the 36 kDa protein is inhibited by various uncouplers and an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration. Addition of purified protein kinase C to the isolated mitochondria leads to the phasphorylation of 69, 37 and 17 kDa Proteins. As with other substrates for protein kinase C, phosphorylat~~~ of these proteins is dependent on Ca2+ and markedly stimulated by various tumor promoters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
