title: The control of phosphoprotein phosphatase by the second-site phosphorylation of a substrate. Studies with H2B histone as model substrate.
abstract: The phosphorylation of Ser-32, in addition to Ser-36 of H2B histone, stimulated the rate of Pi release from Ser-36 by the small form (Mr 31 000) of pig heart phosphoprotein phosphatase both in the absence and presence of 50 mM magnesium acetate. By phosphorylation at Ser-32, the Km value for Ser-36 phosphate in H2B histone was increased from 0.38 microM to 1.16 microM in the absence of magnesium acetate, but not significantly changed (from 37.4 microM to 26.2 microM) in the presence of magnesium acetate. With the large form (Mr 224000) of the phosphoprotein phosphatase, however, the phosphorylation at Ser-32 suppressed the rate of Pi release from Ser-36 both in the absence and presence of magnesium acetate. The Km value of the large form for Ser-36 phosphatase in H2B histone was nevertheless increased by phosphorylation at Ser-32, from 1.2 microM to 5.3 microM in the presence of magnesium acetate, but not changed (from 0.26 microM to 0.23 microM) in the absence of magnesium acetate.
