  • Title: Autophosphorylation of chick brain synaptic polypeptides. Phosphorylation of proteins during incubation of intact synaptosomes with 32PO4.
    Author: Breithaupt TB, Babitch JA.
    Journal: J Neurobiol; 1979 Mar; 10(2):169-77. PubMed ID: 512656.
    Abstract:
    Chick brain synaptosomes incorporated phosphate into proteins when incubated in physiological buffer containing energy sources. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that three synaptosomal polypeptides were significantly phosphorylated after 15 sec incubation while at least fifteen polypeptides were active kinase substrates after 15 min incubation. Labeled synaptosomes were hypotonically lysed and separated by centrifugation into soluble, membrane, and mitochondrial fractions. Every fraction exhibited significant phosphate incorporation. Electrophoresis revealed that each fraction had several unique phosphorylated polypeptides and a distinctive phosphorylation pattern. The same polypeptides appear to be labeled whether MgATP was added to synaptic plasma membranes or synaptic plasma membranes were isolated after synaptosomal autophosphorylation.
