Calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase from bovine brain and heart was assayed for phosphotyrosine and phosphoserine phosphatase activity using several substrates: 1) smooth muscle myosin light chain (LC20) phosphorylated on tyrosine or serine residues, 2) angiotensin I phosphorylated on tyrosine, and 3) synthetic phosphotyrosine- or phosphoserine-containing peptides with amino acid sequences patterned after the autophosphorylation site in Type II regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The phosphatase was activated by Ni2+ and Mn2+, and stimulated further by calmodulin. In the presence of Ni2+ and calmodulin, it exhibited similar kinetic constants for the dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosyl LC20 (Km = 0.9 microM, and Vmax = 350 nmol/min/mg) and phosphoseryl LC20 (Km = 2.6 microM, Vmax = 690 nmol/min/mg). Dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosyl LC20 was inhibited by phosphoseryl LC20 with an apparent Ki of 2 microM. Compared to the reactions with phosphotyrosyl LC20 as the substrate, reactions with phosphotyrosine-containing oligopeptides exhibited slightly higher Km and lower Vmax values. The reaction with the phosphoseryl peptide based on the Type II regulatory subunit sequence exhibited a slightly higher Km (23 microM), but a much higher Vmax (4400 nmol/min/mg) than that with its phosphotyrosine-containing counterpart. Micromolar concentrations of Zn2+ inhibited the phosphatase activity; vanadate was less potent, and 25 mM NaF was ineffective. The study provides quantitative data to serve as a basis for comparing the ability of the calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase to act on phosphotyrosine- and phosphoserine-containing substrates.

A protein phosphatase (WbPP) has been purified from the soluble fraction of the winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) shoot extract. The preparation is essentially homogenous as shown by the constant specific activity of the enzyme across the peak fractions, eluted from the thiophosphorylated histone-Sepharose affinity column, the last step of purification and by single protein bands on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in the presence as well as absence of denaturating agents. The monomeric nature of WbPP is revealed by an M(r) of 92,000 and 85,000, respectively, as estimated by SDS-PAGE and gel permeation chromatography under non-denaturating conditions. Autophosphorylated calmodulin-like domain protein kinase (P-WbCDPKI) [Saha, P., & Singh, M. (1995). Biochem. J., 305, 205] and phosphohistone H1 (P-hisH1), prepared by using the other homologous CDPK, i.e. WbCDPKII [Ganguly, S., & Singh, M. (1998). Phytochemistry, 48(1), 61], are good substrates of the purified enzyme, while P-hisH1 and phosphocasein prepared by using heterologous cAMP-dependent protein kinase, are respectively very poor and totally inactive as substrate. WbPP is adjudged to be a protein phosphoserine phosphatase since phosphoserine is the only phosphorylated amino acid residue detected in our earlier analysis of P-WbCDPKI and P-hisH1. The enzyme is strongly stimulated by a combination of Mg2+ and Ca2+, without being dependent on either of them and is also unaffected by calmodulin and fluphenazine. Orthovanadate strongly inhibits the enzyme while okadaic acid is a poor inhibitor.
