Synthetic myelin basic protein peptide analogs are specific inhibitors of phospholipid/calcium-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C).
Synthetic peptide analogs of the bovine myelin basic protein (MBP) corresponding to residues 104-118 were found to specifically inhibit phospholipid/ Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). The peptides [Ala107]MBP (104-118) and [Ala113]MBP (104-118) inhibited protein phosphorylation of intact MBP, histone H1 and peptide phosphorylation with MBP(104-123), MBP(104-118) or [Ala105]MBP (104-118) as substrates. The inhibitor peptides [Ala107]MBP(104-118) and [Ala113]MBP (104-118), containing alanine in place of the arginine recognition sites, apparently inhibited the enzyme noncompetitively with respect to substrates, with IC50 values ranging from 46-145 and 28-62 microM, respectively. These peptide analogs did not inhibit cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase or myosin light chain kinase but inhibited phospholipid/Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of endogenous proteins in the total, solubilized fraction of rat brain.
