Abstract

An endogenous substrate for adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase has been solubilized, and purified about 5,000-fold to apparent homogeneity, from a particulate fraction of bovine cerebral cortex enriched in synaptic membranes. This endogenous substrate, referred to as Protein I, is apparently specific to nervous tissue, and is composed of two types of polypeptides, present in a proportion of 1 (Protein Ia, 86,000 daltons) to 2 (Protein Ib, 80,000 daltons). In the presence of cAMP-dependent Protein I kinase purified from the same membrane fractions, Proteins Ia and Ib incorporated 0.83 and 0.81 mol of phosphate into serine/mol of peptide, respectively. Proteins Ia and Ib have similar amino acid compositions and have isoelectric points of 10.3 and 10.2, respectively. Both types of polypeptide have a relatively high content of glycine and proline, and both are degraded to a peptide of 48,000 daltons by highly purified collagenase, suggesting that Proteins Ia and Ib contain some sequences similar to those observed in collagen. The sedimentation coefficient of Protein Ia and Protein Ib was determined to be 2.9 S. The data suggest that both Protein Ia and Protein Ib have an elongated shape.
