  • Title: Determination of the phosphorylation sites of calmodulin catalyzed by casein kinase 2.
    Author: Nakajo S, Masuda Y, Nakaya K, Nakamura Y.
    Journal: J Biochem; 1988 Dec; 104(6):946-51. PubMed ID: 3243768.
    Abstract:
    Calmodulin is specifically phosphorylated by casein kinase 2 (CK 2), but not by casein kinase 1, A kinase, or C kinase. In the present report, the stoichiometry of the phosphorylation of calmodulin by CK 2 in the presence and absence of polylysine and its phosphorylation sites were examined. In the absence of polylysine, the radioactive phosphate incorporated into calmodulin by CK 2 was only 0.01 mol/mol and the phosphorylation occurred at Ser-101. In the presence of polylysine, 1.2 mol of radioactive phosphate was incorporated into 1 mol of calmodulin. In this case, Thr-79 in addition to Ser-101 was phosphorylated, but Ser-81 was not. The sequence around the phosphorylated Thr is Asp-Thr(P)-Asp-Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-.
