Effects of polyamine hydrochlorides and salts on phosphoprotein phosphatase.
Polyamine hydrochlorides, NaCl and magnesium acetate stimulated the enzymatic dephosphorylation of phosphorylated H2B histone by two forms (large form, mol. wt. 250 000; small form, mol. wt. 30 000) of a pig heart phosphoprotein phosphatase (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.16). These ionic compounds stimulated the large form of the enzyme 5--9-fold but stimulated the small form of theenzyme only 2-fold. With phosphorylated H2B histone as substrate, these effectors caused an increase in both Km and V values of the two forms of the enzyme. On the other hand, when a tryptic phosphodecapeptide derived from phosphorylated H2B histone was used as substrate, these effectors were always inhibitory apparently non-competitively with respect to the substrate. Using phosphorylated H1 histone as substrate, these effectors stimulated the large form of the enzyme 2-fold but inhibited the small form. With phosphorylase a as substrate, the reactions were also inhibited by these effectors irrespective of the enzyme employed. With respect to phosphorylase a, this inhibition was apparently of a competitive type for the large form and a non-competitive type for the small form of the enzyme.
