โœฆ Synopsis

The phosphorylation of proteins in the synaptic plasma membrane is a rather slow reaction taking several minutes to saturate all the phosphate acceptor sites. (The time for half the protein bound phosphate groups to turnover is about 1 min). A divalent cation is needed as a cofactor for the reaction. At high (0.5 mM) ATP concentrations Mg2+ is more effective than Mn2+ but at low (10 microM) ATP concentrations the reverse is the case. Zn2+ and Ca2+ support very little phosphorylation.

A mitogenic factor from 3T3 plasma membranes has been identified and partially characterized. The factor appears to be a peripheral membrane protein that can be released by mild trypsin, chymotrypsin, or plasmin treatment. This component is sensitive to heat and acid, and has a molecular weight in t
