Phosphorylation of proteoglycans. Identification of phosphorylation sites in chondroitin sulfate-rich region of core protein. 1985

R S Anderson, and E R Schwartz

Serine residues, which are the sites of phosphorylation in proteoglycans, were demonstrated to be located on chondroitin sulfate-containing peptides. These peptides appeared to be derived primarily from the chondroitin sulfate-rich region of the proteoglycan core protein. The localization of phosphate moieties in the chondroitin sulfate-containing peptides was observed in all experiments. The phosphate moieties were retained on chondroitin sulfate-containing peptides after the protein core was treated with either papain or trypsin. Two phosphopeptide preparations, derived from chondroitin sulfate-containing peptides of proteoglycan subunits, were extensively purified. These 2 phosphopeptide preparations were shown by carbohydrate analysis to be free of keratan sulfate-containing peptides or peptides from the hyaluronic acid binding region of the core protein. One of the phosphopeptide preparations had a phosphate: serine molar ratio of 0.40. This indicated that nearly one-half of the serine residues were phosphorylated rather than glycosylated. Peptides derived from the core protein that contained keratan sulfate had no phosphate moieties.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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

D002809 Chondroitin Sulfates Derivatives of chondroitin which have a sulfate moiety esterified to the galactosamine moiety of chondroitin. Chondroitin sulfate A, or chondroitin 4-sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate C, or chondroitin 6-sulfate, have the sulfate esterified in the 4- and 6-positions, respectively. Chondroitin sulfate B (beta heparin; DERMATAN SULFATE) is a misnomer and this compound is not a true chondroitin sulfate.
