Abstract:
:CPI-17 is a protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) inhibitor that has been shown to act on the myosin light chain phosphatase. CPI-17 is phosphorylated on Thr-38 in vivo, thus enhancing its ability to inhibit PP1. Thr-38 has been shown to be the target of several protein kinases in vitro. Originally, the expression of CPI-17 was proposed to be smooth muscle specific. However, it has recently been found in platelets and we show in this report that it is endogenously phosphorylated in brain on Ser-128 in a domain unique to CPI-17. Ser-128 is within a consensus phosphorylation site for protein kinase A (PKA) and calcium calmodulin kinase II. However, these two kinases do not phosphorylate Ser-128 in vitro but phosphorylate Ser-130 and Thr-38, respectively. The kinase responsible for Ser-128 phosphorylation remains to be identified. CPI-17 has strong sequence similarity with PHI-1 (which is also a phosphatase inhibitor) and LimK-2 kinase. The novel in vivo and in vitro phosphorylation sites (serines 128 and 130) are in a region/domain unique to CPI-17, suggesting a specific interaction domain that is regulated by phosphorylation.
