Abstract

Phosphorylation by a cAMP-independent rat liver protein kinase of protein substrates containing the structural feature required by mammary gland casein kinase (-Ser-X-Glu/Asp) has been demonstrated. In particular, the Bowman-Birk Soybean trypsin inhibitor, which is characterized, like other legume protease inhibitors, by clusters of acidic residues near the C-terminal side of seryl residue(s), proved to be a good model substrate for the protein kinase. Its phosphorylation, involving the Ser 65 residue, is apparently hindered by the binding of trypsin, while it is stimulated by unfolding induced by reduction and subsequent carboxy-methylation.
