Cyclic AMP independent protein kinase activity in rat cerebral cortex synaptic vesicles--partial characterization. 1982

J Glaser, and M G Weller, and A C Neethling, and J J Taljaard

The intrinsic protein kinase activity of a highly purified synaptic vesicle preparation was characterized. The time-course of the reaction was found to be rapid and linear for about 1 min, but plateaued after 30 min by which time approximately 1 nmol of 32P per mg protein was incorporated into trichloroacetic acid precipitated vesicular protein. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 6.0 (37 degrees C), and had apparent Km values of 40 and 88 microM for ATP and GTP respectively. The enzyme was not stimulated by cAMP or cGMP. Mg2+ was required for maximal activity. The reaction was inhibited by free Ca2+, and non-selectively by Na+, K+, and NH4+.

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.
