Abstract

Osteopotin is a secreted glycosylated phosphoprotein found in bone and other normal and malignant tissues. Osteopontin can be autophosphorylated on tyrosine residues and can also be phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues by several protein kinases. Autophosphorylation of osteopontin may generate sites for specific interactions with other proteins on the cell surface and/or within the extracelluar matrix. These interactions of osteopontin are thought to be essential for bone mineralization and function. The polyaspartic acid motif of osteopontin, in combination with neighboring sequences that include serine residues phosphorylated by protein kinases, could fold and assemble into a molecular structure that participates in the mineralization of the bone matrix.

The role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the response of PC12 cells to NGF was investigated by using a variety of agents which affect NGF-induced neurite outgrowth. K-252a, a kinase inhibitor, was previously found to selectively inhibit many of the actions of NGF on PC12 cells. In the present
