چکیده

Calmodulin is the major intracellular Ca(2+)-binding protein, providing Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of numerous intracellular enzymes. The phosphorylation of calmodulin may provide an additional mechanism for modulating its function as a signal transducer. Phosphocalmodulin has been identified in tissues and cells, and calmodulin is phosphorylated both in vitro and in intact cells by various enzymes. Phosphorylation of calmodulin on serine/threonine residues by casein kinase II decreases its ability to activate both myosin-light-chain kinase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. For myosin-light-chain kinase the primary effect is an inhibition of the Vmax. of the reaction, with no apparent change in the concentration at which half-maximal velocity is attained (K0.5) for either Ca2+ or calmodulin. In contrast, for phosphodiesterase, phosphorylation of calmodulin significantly increases the K0.5 for calmodulin without noticeably altering the Vmax. or the K0.5 for Ca2+. The higher the stoichiometry of phosphorylation of calmodulin, the greater the inhibition of calmodulin-stimulated activity for both enzymes. Therefore the phosphorylation of calmodulin by casein kinase II appears to provide a Ca(2+)-independent mechanism whereby calmodulin regulates at least two important target enzymes, myosin-light-chain kinase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

Interplay of Phosphorylated Apoptosis Repressor with CARD, Casein Kinase-2 and Reactive Oxygen Species in Regulating Endothelin-1–Induced Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy

Objective(s):  The role of the Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) in apoptosis and in certain hypertrophic responses has been previously investigated, but its regulation of Endothelin-1 induced cardiac hypertrophy remains unknown. The present study discusses the inhibitory role of ARC against endothelin–induced hypertrophy. Results:In present study Endothelin treated car...

Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of calmodulin.

Calmodulin is phosphorylated in vitro by the insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase and a variety of serine/threonine kinases. Here we report that insulin stimulates the phosphorylation of calmodulin on average 3-fold in intact rat hepatocytes. Although calmodulin is constitutively phosphorylated, insulin increases phosphate incorporation into serine, threonine and tyrosine residues. We demonstrate t...

Phosphorylation of conserved casein kinase sites regulates cAMP-response element-binding protein DNA binding in Drosophila.

The Drosophila homolog of cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB), dCREB2, exists with serine 231, equivalent to mammalian serine 133, in a predominantly phosphorylated state. Thus, unlike the mammalian protein, the primary regulation of dCREB2 may occur at a different step from serine 231 phosphorylation. Although bacterially expressed dCREB2 bound cAMP-response element sites, protein fro...

Activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II following bovine rotavirus enterotoxin NSP4 expression

Objective(s): The rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is responsible for the increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration through a phospholipase C-dependent and phospholipase C-independent pathways in infected cells. It is shown that increasing of intracellular calcium concentration in rotavirus infected cells is associated with the activation of some members of protein kinases family su...

Phosphorylation of smooth muscle caldesmon by three protein kinases: implication for domain mapping.

Phosphorylation of duck gizzard caldesmon by Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and casein kinase II has been investigated. The Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase incorporates more than 3 mol phosphate per mol (140 kDa) caldesmon. All phosphorylation sites are localized in the actin- and calmodulin-binding peptide (40-45 kDa) supposed to...
