[Localization of segments, phosphorylated by Ca-phospolipid-dependent protein kinase in smooth muscle caldesmon]. 1989

A V Vorotnikov, and V P Shirinskiĭ, and N B Gusev

Phosphorylation of caldesmon from duck gizzard by Ca-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase was investigated. Ca-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase transfers about 3.5 moles of phosphate per mole of caldesmon (140 kDa). Tropomyosin does not affect, while calmodulin strongly inhibits the phosphorylation of caldesmon by Ca-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase. Data from one-dimensional peptide mapping suggest that the sites phosphorylated by the enzyme are located in fragments with apparent molecular weights of 43 and 35 kDa, which are supposed to be located in the vicinity of N- or C-termini of the protein molecule and involved in the caldesmon interaction with actin and calmodulin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
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
D011494 Protein Kinases A family of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of ATP and a protein to ADP and a phosphoprotein. Protein Kinase,Kinase, Protein,Kinases, Protein
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.

D002148 Calmodulin-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind calmodulin. They are found in many tissues and have a variety of functions including F-actin cross-linking properties, inhibition of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and calcium and magnesium ATPases.
