title: Novel regulatory role of phosphorylated clathrin light chain beta in bovine brain coated vesicles.
abstract: The 50-kilodalton (kDa) assembly polypeptide of bovine brain clathrin coated vesicles (CCVs) is phosphorylated in a cyclic nucleotide- and Ca2+-independent manner and is dephosphorylated by a Mg2+-ATP-dependent CCV phosphatase. This report provides evidence for modulation of the phosphorylation reaction of the 50-kDa assembly polypeptide by phosphorylated clathrin light chain beta (pLC beta). In vitro, phosphorylated LC beta inhibits phosphorylation of the 50-kDa polypeptide in CCVs. Furthermore, incubation of previously phosphorylated 50-kDa polypeptide in CCVs with phosphorylated LC beta results in a rapid dephosphorylation of the 50-kDa assembly polypeptide. Both phenomena are time and concentration dependent. Monoclonal antibodies to LC beta prevent the modulatory effect of phosphorylated LC beta on the 50-kDa assembly polypeptide phosphorylation in CCVs. The results obtained indicate for the first time, to our knowledge, that phosphorylated LC beta has a modulatory role in CCVs. The data also suggest that phosphorylated LC beta promotes activation of a coated vesicle phosphatase.
