Phosphorylation of fodrin (nonerythroid spectrin) by the purified insulin receptor kinase.
Fodrin (nonerythroid spectrin) from porcine brain was found to be phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by the purified insulin receptor kinase. The phosphorylation occurred in an insulin-sensitive manner with a physiologically relevant km. The beta(235 K) subunit of fodrin, but not the alpha(240 K) subunit, was phosphorylated by the kinase. Neither the alpha(240 K) subunit nor the beta(220 K) subunit of erythrocyte spectrin was phosphorylated under the same conditions. Fodrin phosphorylation by the purified insulin receptor kinase was markedly inhibited by F-actin. These data raise the possibility that tyrosine phosphorylation of fodrin plays some roles in the regulation of plasma membrane-microfilament interaction.
