The polypeptides of vitreous humor, aqueous humor and iris-ciliary complex cells of eyes were phosphorylated with [gamma-32P]ATP without exogenous protein kinase. Phosphorylated polypeptides were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. The phosphorylated polypeptides of rabbit vitreous humor showed many high molecular weight prominent bands, but no detectable phosphoproteins were found in the 12 kDa or lower range. Bovine vitreous humor has predominantly acidic polypeptides and some of them are below 20 kDa. Rabbit and bovine iris-ciliary complex and rabbit aqueous humor showed a prominent common 4 kDa phosphopolypeptide which could also be synthesized by cloned populations of cells from the bovine iris and the rabbit iris-ciliary body. It is possible that the 4 kDa phosphopolypeptide of the aqueous humor is synthesized by the iris-ciliary complex cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007498 Iris The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D010748 Phosphopeptides PEPTIDES that incorporate a phosphate group via PHOSPHORYLATION. Phosphopeptide
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002924 Ciliary Body A ring of tissue extending from the scleral spur to the ora serrata of the RETINA. It consists of the uveal portion and the epithelial portion.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.
