Phosphorylation of threonine and serine residues of native and partially dephosphorylated caseins by a rat liver cyclic AMP-insensitive protein kinase

D Deana et al. Biochem J. .

Abstract

The preferential phosphorylation of threonine residues of native casein fractions by a rat liver cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) is abolished by preliminary limited dephosphorylation of the substrates, which promotes a fall in the phosphothreonine/phosphoserine ratios from values higher than 1 to much less than 0.1. This finding and the identification of the threonine residues phosphorylated support the view that the liver protein kinase affects threonine residues only when suitable serine residues, which fulfil the structural requirements for attack by the enzyme but which are not yet phosphorylated, are not available.
