The stoichiometry of the phosphorylation of rabbit muscle glycogen synthase by casein/glycogen synthase kinase-1 (CK-1) depended on the concentration of protein kinase in the assay and reached values of 7-8 mol/mol subunit at high concentrations. Phosphorylation by CK-1 above 4 mol/mol subunit promoted a further decrease of glycogen synthase activity when determined by the low glucose-6-phosphate/high glucose-6-phosphate activity ratio assay. Analysis by limited proteolysis with trypsin and chymotrypsin showed that all of the regions in glycogen synthase phosphorylated by casein/glycogen synthase kinase-2 (CK-2), the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase), FA/glycogen synthase kinase-3 (FA/GSK-3) and phosphorylase b kinase were also phosphorylated by CK-1. Digestion with CNBr of glycogen synthase phosphorylated by CK-1 revealed the presence of the two phosphopeptides also labeled by the other protein kinases, the largest phosphopeptide (CB2) containing more phosphorylation sites for CK-1 than the smallest one (CB1). Three phosphopeptides (CB2-c, CB2-d and CB2-e) were obtained by trypsinization of CB2 phosphorylated by CK-1. None of them coincided with those labeled by A-kinase, a fact that was confirmed by the additivity of the effect of both protein kinases. In contrast, CB2-d comigrated with the peptide phosphorylated by FA/GSK-3, and CB2-e with that labeled by CK-2, whereas CB2-c would correspond to a new phosphopeptide.

The role of the C-terminal domain of CTP: phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT) was explored by the creation of a series of deletion mutations in rat liver cDNA, which were expressed in COS cells as a major protein component. Deletion of up to 55 amino acids from the C-terminus had no effect on the activity of the enzyme, its stimulation by lipid vesicles or on its intracellular distribution between soluble and membrane-bound forms. However, deletion of the C-terminal 139 amino acids resulted in a 90% decrease in activity, loss of response to lipid vesicles and a significant decrease in the fraction of membrane-bound enzyme. Identification of the domain that is phosphorylated in vivo was determined by analysis of 32P-labelled CT mutants and by chymotrypsin proteolysis of purified CT that was 32P-labelled in vivo. Phosphorylation was restricted to the C-terminal 52 amino acids (domain P) and occurred on multiple sites. CT phosphorylation in vitro was catalysed by casein kinase II, cell division control 2 kinase (cdc2 kinase), protein kinases C alpha and beta II, and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), but not by mitogen-activated kinase (MAP kinase). Casein kinase II phosphorylation was directed exclusively to Ser-362. The sites phosphorylated by cdc2 kinase and GSK-3 were restricted to several serines within three proline-rich motifs of domain P. Sites phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C, on the other hand, were distributed over the N-terminal catalytic as well as the C-terminal regulatory domain. The stoichiometry of phosphorylation catalysed by any of these kinases was less than 0.2 mol P/mol CT, and no effects on enzyme activity were detected. This study supports a tripartite structure for CT with an N-terminal catalytic domain and a C-terminal regulatory domain comprised of a membrane-binding domain (domain M) and a phosphorylation domain (domain P). It also identifies three kinases as potential regulators in vivo of CT, casein kinase II, cyclin-dependent kinase and GSK-3.
