Involvement of protein kinase C in the phosphorylation of an insulin-granule membrane protein.


ABSTRACT: The involvement of protein kinase C in the Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of a 29 000-Mr insulin-granule membrane protein prepared from a rat insulinoma was investigated. Protein kinase C activity towards exogenous lysine-rich histone was detected in a cytosolic fraction prepared from an insulinoma homogenate in the presence of EGTA. This activity bound reversibly to insulin granules in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Phosphatidylserine liposomes removed both protein kinase C activity and the 29 000-Mr protein-phosphorylating activity from the cytosolic fraction in a Ca2+-dependent fashion. Protein kinase C activity and the enzymic activity responsible for the phosphorylation of the 29 000-Mr granule protein behaved identically on sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation, ion-exchange chromatography, (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and gel filtration of the cytosolic fraction. These results are consistent with protein kinase C being the enzyme responsible for the phosphorylation of the 29 000-Mr insulin-granule membrane protein.
