title: Phosphorylation of the active, A1 component of cholera toxin by protein kinase.
abstract: Cholera toxin, an activator of adenylate cyclase in a wide variety of cells, is a substrate for the phosphotransferase reaction catalyzed by purified cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate dependent bovine cardiac muscle protein kinase and the protein associated with human erythrocyte membranes. Phosphorylation occurs when the toxin is dissociated with 5-20 mM dithiothreitol and is restricted to the A1 or "adenylate cyclase activating" subunit of the toxin.
