ACTH-induced inhibition of endogenous rat brain protein phosphorylation in vitro: structure activity

ACTH-induced inhibition of endogenous rat brain protein phosphorylation in vitro: structure activity

H Zwiers et al. Neurochem Res. 1978 Aug.

Abstract

ACTH1--24 inhibits the endogenous phosphorylation in vitro of distinct SPM protein bands. Using N-terminal fragments of ACTH, the structure-activity requirements for this effect were studied. A rather complex interaction of the ACTH fragments with endogenous SPM phosphorylation was observed. The effects were not only dependent on the primary structure of the peptide used, but also on the protein band studied and the ATP/SPM ratio used in the incubation system. ACTH1--24 did not interfere with the ATP-hydrolyzing activity of the SPM preparation, nor did it influence the endogenous phosphatase activity. Therefore, a direct interaction of ACTH with SPM protein kinase(s) is likely to be responsible for its effect on phosphorylation.
