Abstract
We have purified and characterized two kinds of GTP-binding proteins with Mr of 22,000 in human platelet membrane (main; m22KG(I), minor; m22KG(II)) (Nagata, K. and Nozawa, Y. (1988) FEBS Lett. 238, 90-94). In this study, the main GTP-binding protein (m22KG(I)) was found to be phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase), but not by protein kinase C. About 0.5 mol of phosphate was maximally incorporated into one mol of the protein and this phosphorylation was inhibited in the presence of A-kinase inhibitor. Phosphorylation of m22KG(I) did not alter either its GTP-binding or GTPase activity. When m22KG(I) was incubated alone or in the presence of 100 microM guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) and then exposed to A-kinase, no significant changes in the level of phosphorylation were observed. On the other hand, the most abundant GTP-binding protein with Mr of 21,000 (c21KG) in human platelet cytosol, which was identified as a transformation suppressor gene product (rap 1 protein, smg p21 and Krev-1 protein), was not phosphorylated by A-kinase under the same condition. However, c21KG was phosphorylated by A-kinase after pretreatment with alkaline phosphatase.
