Phosphorylation of rabbit and human erythrocyte membranes by soluble adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent and -independent protein kinases. 1977

M M Hosey, and M Tao

Previous reports from this laboratory and others have established that both the rabbit and human erythrocyte membranes contain multiple protein kinase and phosphate acceptor activities. We now report that these membranes also contain phosphoryl acceptor sites for the soluble cyclic AMP-dependent and -independent protein kinases from rabbit erythrocytes. The rabbit erythrocyte membrane, which does not contain a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, has at least four polypeptides (Bands 2.1, 2.3, 4.5, and 4.8) which are phosphorylated in the presence of the soluble cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases I, IIa, and IIb isolated from rabbit erythrocyte lysates. The resulting phosphoprotein profile is very similar to that obtained for the cyclic AMP-mediated autophosphorylation of human erythrocyte membranes. The activities of the soluble cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases toward the membranes have been studied at several pH values. Although the substrate specificity of the three kinases is similar, polypeptide 2.3 appears to be phosphorylated to a greater extent by kinase IIa than by I or IIb. This occurs at all pH values studied. Also apparent is that the pH profile for membrane phosphorylation is different from that of histone phosphorylation. The phosphorylation of membrane proteins can also be catalyzed by the soluble erythrocyte casein kinases. These enzymes are not regulated by cyclic nucleotides and can use either ATP or GTP as their phosphoryl donor. Polypeptides 2.1, 2.9, 4.1, 4.5, 4.8, and 5 of both human and rabbit erythrocyte membranes are phosphorylated in the presence of GTP and the casein kinases. This reaction is optimal at pH 7.5. Experiments were performed to determine whether the phosphorylation of the membranes by the soluble and membrane-bound kinases is additive or exclusive. Our results indicate that after maximal autophosphorylation of the erythrocyte membranes, phosphoryl acceptor sites are available to the soluble cyclic AMP-dependent and -independent protein kinases. Furthermore, after maximal phosphorylation of the membranes with one type of soluble kinase, further 32P incorporation can occur as a result of exposure to the other type of soluble kinase.
