Phosphoprotein phosphatase-catalyzed dephosphorylation of the 22,000 dalton phosphoprotein of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The present study demonstrated the presence within the myocardium of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity which can account for dephosphorylation of a 22,000 dalton phosphoprotein of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum that has been associated with the stimulatory effects of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase on calcium transport (Tada, M., Kirchberger, M. A., and Katz, A. M. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250:2640-2647). Dog cardiac microsomes, consisting mainly of fragmented sarcomplasmic reticulum, were phosphorylated by incubation with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP, and subsequently washed with trichloroacetic acid or buffered KCl. Phosphorylated microsomes contained approximately 1 nmole of 32P bound per mg of microsomal protein, 32P labeling occurring almost exclusively at the 22,000 dalton component. Soluble phosphoprotein phosphatases, isolated from the cytosol, catalyzed dephosphorylation of 32P-labeled microsomes. The existence of a phosphoprotein phosphatase that is associated with the microsomes was demonstrated by the ability of the microsomes to dephosphorylate 32P-histone. This membrane-associated phosphatase activity can also account for a rapid decrease in the amount of 32P-labeling of the 22,000 dalton protein. The dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated 22,000 dalton protein by phosphoprotein phosphatase satisfies an important requirement for the phosphorylation of the 22,000 dalton protein to serve a physiological role, namely, its reversibility.
