Microtubule-associated protein tau is phosphorylated by protein kinase C on its tubulin binding domain.
We have analyzed the in vitro phosphorylation of tau protein by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, casein kinase II, and proline-directed serine/threonine protein kinase. These kinases phosphorylate tau protein in sites localized in different regions of the molecule, as determined by peptide mapping analyses. Focusing on the phosphorylation of tau by protein kinase C, it was calculated a...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel microtubule-binding domain in microtubule-associated protein 1A (MAP1A).
Several microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) have been shown to bind to microtubules via short sequences with repeated amino acids motifs. A microtubule-binding domain has hitherto not been defined for the adult brain microtubule-associated protein 1A (MAP1A). We have searched for a microtubule-binding domain by expressing different protein regions of MAP1A in cultured cell lines using cDNA c...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of the calmodulin-binding domain of neuromodulin, a neurospecific calmodulin-binding protein.
Neuromodulin (formerly designated P-57) is an abundant, neural specific, calmodulin-binding protein which exhibits higher affinity for calmodulin in the absence of free Ca2+ than in the presence of free Ca2+. In this study a series of proteolytic fragments of neuromodulin were systematically screened for calmodulin-Sepharose binding activity. A 9-amino acid fragment, designated M1-C1 and having...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein STOP by calmodulin kinase II.
STOP proteins are microtubule-associated, calmodulin-regulated proteins responsible for the high degree of stabilization displayed by neuronal microtubules. STOP suppression in mice induces synaptic defects affecting both short and long term synaptic plasticity in hippocampal neurons. Interestingly, STOP has been identified as a component of synaptic structures in neurons, despite the absence o...
متن کاملStructural dynamics of the microtubule binding and regulatory elements in the kinesin-like calmodulin binding protein.
Kinesins are molecular motors that power cell division and transport of various proteins and organelles. Their motor activity is driven by ATP hydrolysis and depends on interactions with microtubule tracks. Essential steps in kinesin movement rely on controlled alternate binding to and detaching from the microtubules. The conformational changes in the kinesin motors induced by nucleotide and mi...
