Abstract
Phospholamban, the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulumn proteolipid, is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, by Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, and by an endogenous Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, the identity of which remains to be defined. The aim of this study was therefore to characterize the latter kinase, called phospholamban kinase. Phospholamban kinase was purified approximately 42-fold with a yield of 11%. The purified fraction exhibits a specific activity of 6.5 nmol of phosphate incorporated into exogenous phospholamban per minute per milligram of protein. Phospholamban kinase appears to be a high molecular weight enzyme and presents a broad substrate specificity, synapsin-1, glycogen synthase, and smooth muscle myosin regulatory light chain being the best substrates. Phospholamban kinase phosphorylates synapsin-1 on a Mr 30,000 peptide. The enzyme exhibits an optimum pH of 8.6, a Km for ATP of 9 .mu.M, and a requirement for Mg2+ ions. These data suggest that phospholamban kinase might be an isoenzyme of the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. Consequently we have searched for Mr 50,000-60,000 phosphorylatable subunits among cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins. A Mr 56,000 protein was found to be phosphorylated in the presence of Ca2+/calmodulin. Such phosphorylation alters the electrophoretic migration velocity of the protein. In addition, this protein that binds calmodulin was always found to be present in fractions containing phospholamban kinase activity. This Mr 56,000 protein is therefore a good candidate for being a subunit of phospholamban kinase. However, the Mr 56,000 calmodulin-binding protein and the Mr 53,000 intrinsic glycoprotein which binds ATP are two distinct entities.Keywords
