Protein kinase C isozyme-specific phosphorylation of profilin.
Cellular Signalling(2001)
摘要
Profilin, a cytoskeletal protein, is emerging as an important link between signal transduction pathways and cytoskeletal dynamics. Profilin is phosphorylated on its C-terminal serine by protein kinase C (PKC). The protein kinase used for the in vitro phosphorylation studies reported earlier was a mixture of isozymes, and therefore, attempts were made to address the isozyme specificity on profilin phosphorylation under in vitro conditions. Profilin was subjected to phosphorylation by PKCα, PKCε, and PKCζ isozymes individually, and it was observed that profilin phosphorylation is cofactor-independent. PKCζ phosphorylates profilin to a higher extent, but exhibits cofactor dependency with respect to phosphoinositides. The stoichiometry of phosphorylation was measured in the presence of these different isozymes, and a maximum stoichiometry of 0.8 (mole phosphate incorporated/mole profilin) was obtained in the presence of PKCζ. Phosphorylation of profilin by PKCζ was maximal in the presence of phosphatidylinositol4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5-P2) when compared to the other phosphoinositides studied.
