title: Effect of insulin on ATP-citrate lyase phosphorylation: regulation of peptide A and peptide B phosphorylations.
abstract: Insulin decreases multifunctional protein kinase (MFPK) activity in rat adipose tissue [Ramakrishna, S., & Benjamin, W. B. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 12677-12681]. Insulin also decreases the phosphorylation of peptide B but increases the phosphorylation of peptide A of ATP-citrate lyase (ATP-CL). The mechanism for this increase in peptide A phosphorylation was studied with purified ATP-CL from control and insulin- and isoproterenol-treated fat pads by using MFPK and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase). ATP-CL purified from insulin-treated fat pads is a better substrate for phosphorylation by MFPK compared to controls. This result is consistent with the hypothesis that insulin action decreases peptide B phosphorylation. To determine if the degree of phosphorylation at peptide B affects the phosphorylation rate of peptide A by A-kinase, ATP-CL was prepared with determined phosphate contents of peptides A and B. ATP-CL with a low phosphate content at peptide B is a better substrate for phosphorylation at peptide A by A-kinase than is ATP-CL with a high phosphate content at peptide B. These results suggest that the insulin-induced increase in ATP-CL phosphorylation at peptide A is due to a decrease in peptide B phosphorylation. ATP-CL prepared from isoproterenol-treated fat pads is also a better substrate for phosphorylation at peptide B by MFPK than controls. This increase in phosphorylation at peptide B by MFPK is due to positive second-site regulation by the isoproterenol-induced increase in peptide A phosphorylation.
