  • Two phosphorylations specific to the tail region of the 204-kDa heavy chain isoform of porcine aorta smooth muscle myosin. Abstract Text:

    y fukuiY Fukui,f moritaF Morita,

    In a porcine aorta extract, we observed two protein kinase activities which specifically phosphorylate the 204-kDa heavy chain isoform of aorta myosin in the absence of conventional kinase activators. We referred to these two protein kinases, eluted at 0.15 and 0.2 M KCl from a DEAE-column, as myosin kinases I (MKI) and II (MKII), respectively. The phosphorylation site for MKI was determined using a purified phosphopeptide derived from porcine aorta myosin phosphorylated with MKI. By comparison with the deduced amino acid sequence for smooth muscle myosins, the site corresponded to a Ser located at 3 amino acids upstream from a Pro, the putative end of the alpha-helical segment of the 204-kDa heavy chain tail. A homologous Ser is only present in smooth muscle myosins, i.e. not in nonmuscle myosins. MKI was purified 130-fold, but not separated from a kinase activity phosphorylating Ser1 or Ser2 in the 20-kDa regulatory light chain of aorta myosin. In contrast, MKII was purified to near homogeneity. MKII phosphorylated the porcine aorta myosin heavy chain at a Ser 19 amino acids downstream from the MKI site. The amino acid sequence around the Ser shared a consensus sequence of the phosphorylation site. The amino acid sequence around the Ser shared a consensus sequence of the phosphorylation site for casein kinase II and was homologous to that reported for bovine aorta myosin [Kelley, C.A. and Adelstein, R.S. (1990) J Biol. Chem. 265, 17876-17882]. MKII was identified as a multifunctional protein kinase, casein kinase II.
