title: Protein-bound histidine, as well as protein-bound serine, residues are sites of phosphorylation in the synaptic plasma membrane.
abstract: When synaptic plasma membrane fragments are incubated with ATP in the presence of Mg2+, phosphate is transferred, not only to protein-bound serine, but also to protein-bound histidine. The phosphorylation of protein-bound serine is stimulated by cyclic AMP and has a Km for ATP of about 0.12 mM, both in the presence and absence of cyclic AMP. By contrast, the phosphorylation of protein-bound histidine is unaffected by cyclic AMP and does not follow Michaelis-Menton kinetics since a non-linear double reciprocal plot is given when activity is measured at various ATP concentrations.
