Abstract

Recent studies in our laboratory [Tokuda, M., Khanna, N. C., Aurora, A., & Waisman, D. M. (1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 139, 910–917] have identified in membranes of rat spleen two tyrosine protein kinases named TPK-I and TPK-II. In this paper the identification of the Ca2+ binding protein CAB-48 as a major in vitro substrate of TPK-II is reported. TPK-II catalyzed the incorporation of 0.73 mol of phosphate/mol of CAB-48. Phosphoamino acid analysis revealed that phosphorylation of CAB-48 was specific for tyrosine residues. Phosphorylation of CAB-48 by TPK-I (rat spleen), protein kinase C, casein kinase I, casein kinase II, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, or calcium calmodulin dependent protein kinase was not observed.
