Phosphorylation of myelin basic protein by vaccinia virus. 1980

R Tschannen, and A J Steck, and R Schäfer

Vaccinia virus phosphorylates myelin basic protein in the myelin membrane in vitro. In the presence of vaccinia virus cores maximally 1.5 mol and in the presence of intact virus 0.7 mol phosphate residues were incorporated into 1 mol of myelin basic protein in the myelin membrane. The peptides of myelin basic protein which were phosphorylated by the vaccinia virus kinase were clearly all different from the peptides which were phosphorylated by the endogenous myelin protein kinase. The viral modification of the encephalitogenic protein and its significance to immunological events is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D010770 Phosphotransferases A rather large group of enzymes comprising not only those transferring phosphate but also diphosphate, nucleotidyl residues, and others. These have also been subdivided according to the acceptor group. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7. Kinases,Phosphotransferase,Phosphotransferases, ATP,Transphosphorylase,Transphosphorylases,Kinase,ATP Phosphotransferases
D004676 Myelin Basic Protein An abundant cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in the structure of multilamellar myelin. Myelin basic protein binds to the cytosolic sides of myelin cell membranes and causes a tight adhesion between opposing cell membranes.

D014616 Vaccinia virus The type species of ORTHOPOXVIRUS, related to COWPOX VIRUS, but whose true origin is unknown. It has been used as a live vaccine against SMALLPOX. It is also used as a vector for inserting foreign DNA into animals. Rabbitpox virus is a subspecies of VACCINIA VIRUS.
