Insulin-stimulated serine kinase in Xenopus oocyte plasma membrane.
Insulin-stimulated protein kinase activities detected in Xenopus oocyte membrane were examined. The plasma membrane proteins solubilized in a buffer containing Triton X-100 were immunoprecipitated with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies and adsorbed materials were eluted with a buffer containing p-nitrophenyl phosphate. The eluate contained protein serine kinase activity toward H1 histone which was increased 2-3 fold by insulin. Protein tyrosine kinase activity was also exhibited in Xenopus oocyte membrane and the close parallel to serine kinase activity was observed in response to insulin. These results suggest that insulin-stimulated serine kinase is activated through the phosphorylation by protein tyrosine kinase.
