Rhodopsin kinase was prepared from bovine retinas by the method of Sitaramayya [Sitaramayya, A. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 5460] with some minor modifications. The enzyme is able to phosphorylate bovine rhodopsin in the disk membrane, rhodopsin from other species, and rhodopsin solubilized in mild detergent (dodecyl maltoside). Rhodopsin kinase can phosphorylate synthetic peptides containing the appropriate sequences from bovine rhodopsin; however, the Km values for these peptides are about 3 orders of magnitude higher than that for rhodopsin or ATP. Some peptides from the cytosolic surface of rhodopsin inhibit the phosphorylation. These results suggest that more than one region of rhodopsin is involved in the interaction of rhodopsin of the kinase. Mg2+ is required for the Mg-ATP complex as shown by the observation that (ethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid inhibits kinase activity. Second, free Mg2+ above the concentration required to complex all of the ATP present activates the kinase. Third, higher concentrations of Mg2+ yield Mg-ATP-Mg instead of Mg-ATP and therefore inhibit the kinase activity. Other physiologically important cations such as Ca2+, Na+, and K+ reduce the activity of the kinase, probably by forming a metal ion-ATP complex, thereby reducing the concentration of Mg-ATP. 5'-[p-(Fluorosulfonyl)benzoyl]adenosine (FSO2BzAdo), an inhibitor of kinases and ATPases, inhibits rhodopsin kinase according to pseudo-first-order kinetics. The relationship between the first-order constant and the concentration of FSO2BzAdo is hyperbolic. This indicates that a reversible complex between the ATP analogue and the enzyme is formed prior to the covalent attachment of the analogue to rhodopsin kinase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Phosphopeptide mapping of Avena phytochrome phosphorylated by protein kinases in vitro

McMichael¹,

1990

We previously demonstrated that protein kinases are useful probes of conformational changes that occur upon photoconversion of phytochrome [Wong, Y.-S., Cheng, H.-C., Walsh, D. A., & Lagarias, J. C. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 12089-12097]. Here we present phosphopeptide analyses of oat phytochrome phosphorylated by three mammalian protein kinases and by a polycation-stimulated, phytochrome-associated protein kinase. Phosphorylation of the Pr form by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase occurs predominantly on Ser17 while Ser598 is the preferred phosphorylation site on Pfr. The cGMP-dependent and Ca2(+)-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinases, which phosphorylate only the Pr form of phytochrome, recognize the same region on the phytochrome polypeptide as the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Polycation-stimulated phytochrome phosphorylation reveals that, in contrast to the mammalian enzymes, the plant kinase recognizes the serine-rich, blocked N-terminus of phytochrome. The potential regulatory role of phytochrome phosphorylation, particularly in the structurally conserved serine/threonine-rich N-terminal region of the phytochrome polypeptide, is suggested by these results.

Heat-Stable Inhibitor Protein Derived Peptide Substrate Analogs: Phosphorylation by cAMP-Dependent and cGMP-Dependent Protein Kinases

et al. 1995

The phosphorylation of substrate peptides derived from PKI, the heat-stable inhibitor protein of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), has been studied with both PKA and the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) using a variety of substitution and deletion analogs. On the basis of Km, kcat and kcat/Km values, (Ser21)PKI alpha(14-22) amide (numbering based upon native PKI alpha) is the most effective peptide substrate yet discovered for either kinase, although other peptides, while phosphorylated considerably less efficiently by PKG, are more specific. Although the inhibitory peptide corresponding to this sequence (i.e., with an Ala at position 21) is a much more potent inhibitor of PKA than of PKG (approximately 250-fold), PKG actually exhibits a 60% higher kcat than does PKA with the (Ser21)PKI alpha(14-22) amide substrate peptide, with only a 20-fold higher Km value. The two key PKI residues within this peptide which were found to be essential for substrate activity with both kinases were Arg18 (P-3) and Ile22 (P+1). The Arg19 (P-2) residue, which contributes significantly to both PKI-based peptide inhibitors and substrates of PKA, was only a more minor contributor to PKG substrate efficacy. Of particular note, the Phe10 (P-11) residue, which contributes very substantially to high affinity binding of both PKI and longer PKI peptide inhibitors, neither positively nor negatively affects the kinetics of either PKA or PKG with PKI-based substrates.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
