title: Fat cell protein phosphorylation. Identification of phosphoprotein-2 as ATP-citrate lyase.
abstract: We have purified to apparent homogeneity a phosphoprotein from rat adipose tissue which is rapidly phosphorylated in vitro by ATP. The native phosphoprotein has an approximate sedimentation coefficient of 14.8 S. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis, the protein dissociated into identical subunits of Mr = 128,000. A phosphoprotein with similar properties was also isolated from liver. Purified phosphoproteins from fat cells and liver had ATP-citrate lyase activity and co-migrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels with fat cell phosphoprotein-2, the phosphorylation of which is increased by incubating fat cells with insulin. The phosphoamino acid residue of the cells with insulin. The phosphoamino acid residue of the phosphoprotein was identified as tau-phosphohistidine. These evidences suggest that fat cell phosphoprotein-2 is ATP-citrate lyase.
