Blue light-regulated molecular switch of Ser/Thr kinase in phototropin.

abstract：:A protein of 87 kilodaltons (87 kDa) was previously identified as a major specific substrate for protein kinase C in neuronal and other tissues. We have now studied the effect of protein kinase C-catalyzed phosphorylation of this protein on its association with membranes in isolated nerve terminals (synaptosomes) from...
