Novel consensus sequence for the Golgi apparatus casein kinase, revealed using proline-rich protein-1 (PRP1)-derived peptide substrates
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the Golgi apparatus casein kinase (G-CK) recognizes phosphoacceptor sites specified by the triplet SXE/Sp, which is found in several phosphoproteins, besides casein itself. In the present study, we report that G-CK can phosphorylate, with comparable efficiency, sequences surrounding Ser-22 of salivary proline-rich protein-1 (PRP1), which do not conform to the SXE/Sp motif. By using a series of peptide substrates derived from the PRP1 Ser-22 site, we also have shown that the optimal consensus sequence recognized by G-CK in this case was SXQXX(D/E)3, where the acidic residues at positions n+5 to n+7 and, to a lesser extent, the glutamine residue at position n+2 are the critical determinants.
