Phosphorylation of calcineurin by glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1. 1987

A previous study demonstrated that calcineurin preparations contain variable amounts of endogenous phosphate. This observation suggests that calcineurin may be regulated by protein phosphorylation. In this study we have used calcineurin as a potential substrate for eight different protein kinases and significant phosphorylation was observed only with glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1 (CK-1). Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that only subunit A of calcineurin was phosphorylated. The incorporation of 32P into calcineurin catalyzed by CK-1 ranged from 0.4 to 1.5 mol, depending on the preparation of the substrate used. Peptide mapping revealed that two major sites on calcineurin were phosphorylated. No change in calcineurin activity was observed as a result of phosphorylation. The results of this study suggest that CK-1 may be responsible for phosphorylating calcineurin in vivo.

D019703 Calcineurin A CALCIUM and CALMODULIN-dependent serine/threonine protein phosphatase that is composed of the calcineurin A catalytic subunit and the calcineurin B regulatory subunit. Calcineurin has been shown to dephosphorylate a number of phosphoproteins including HISTONES; MYOSIN LIGHT CHAIN; and the regulatory subunits of CAMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES. It is involved in the regulation of signal transduction and is the target of an important class of immunophilin-immunosuppressive drug complexes.
