When soluble proteins in cytosolic fractions of rat soleus muscles are 32P-phosphorylated in vitro by an ATP:protein phosphotransferase reaction, the major substrate is a 56-kilodalton (56K) protein. As we have also reported previously, the onset and development of increased 32P-phosphorylation of t

β¦ Synopsis
The phosphorylative neuromodulation of the regulatory subunit of protein kinase type II (R-II) in cytosolic fractions from denervated and sham-operated, contralateral soleus muscles of the rat was evaluated. The denervation-induced increase in the 32P-phosphorylation of R-II is not related to an increased dephosphorylation by cation-dependent or cation-independent protein phosphatases in the cytosolic fractions. The level of 32P-phosphorylation of an exogenous heptapeptide substrate (Kemptide) by dissociated catalytic subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in cytosolic fractions from denervated and sham-operated solei did not differ. Also, no change in the concentration of cytosolic R-II assessed by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) was found after denervation. However, the in vitro 32P-phosphorylation of R-II in these samples was increased. Taken together, our results suggest that the increased availability of autophosphorylatable sites reflects an in vivo modulation of R-II phosphorylation rather than a significant change in total R-II content.

Previously, we have reported a decrease in the binding of a cAMP analog to the regulatory subunits of CAMP-dependent protein kinase (CAMP-PK), as well as a decrease in CAMP-PK activities, in psoriatic cells. Retinoic acid (RA) treatment of these cells can induce an increase in CAMP-PK toward normal
It has been shown that CAMP-dependent phosphorylation of a soluble sperm protein is important for the initiation of flagellar motion. The suggestion has been made that this motility initiation protein, named axokinin, is the major 56,000-dalton phosphoprotein present in both dog sperm and in other c
