Abstract
Depolarization of intact synaptosomes activates calcium channels, leads to an influx of calcium, and increases the phosphorylation of several neuronal proteins. In contrast, there are two synaptosomal phosphoproteins labeled in intact synaptosomes with 32Pi, termed P96 and P139, which appear to be dephosphorylated following depolarization. Within intact synaptosomes P96 was found in the cytosol whereas P139 was present largely in membrane fractions. Depolarization-stimulated dephosphorylation was fully reversible and continued for up to five cycles of depolarization/reploratization, suggesting a physiological role for the phenomeon. The basal phosphorylation of these proteins was at least partly regulated by cyclic AMP, since dibutyryl cyclic AMP produced small but significant increases in P96 and P139 labeling, even in the presence of fluphenazine at concentrations that inhibited calcium-stimulated protein kinases. Depolarization-dependent dephosphorylation was independent of a rise in intracellular calcium, since agents such as guanidine and low concentrations of A23187, which increase intracellular calcium without activating the calcium channel, did not initiate P96 or P139 dephosphorylation. These agents did sustian increases in the phosphorylation of anumber of other proteins including synapsin I and protein III. The results suggest that the phosphorylation of these two synaptosomal proteins is intimately linked to the membrane potential and that their dephosphorylation is dependent on bth the mechanism of calcium entry and clacium itself, rather than simply on a rise in intracellular free calcium.Keywords
