title: Amino acid sequence of the phosphorylation site of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase.
abstract: Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has properties similar to other gluconeogenic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases, but an unusual characteristic of the yeast enzyme is that it can be phosphorylated in vitro by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation also occurs in vivo, presumably as part of a signalling mechanism for the enzyme's degradation. To probe the structural basis for the phosphorylation of yeast fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, we have developed an improved procedure for the purification of the enzyme and then performed sequence studies with the in vitro-phosphorylated protein as well as with tryptic and chymotryptic peptides containing the phosphorylation site. As a result of these studies, we have determined that yeast fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase has the following 24-residue NH2-terminal amino acid sequence: Pro-Thr-Leu-Val-Asn-Gly-Pro-Arg-Arg-Asp-Ser-Thr-Glu-Gly- Phe-Asp-Thr-Asp-Ile-Ile-Thr-Leu-Pro-Arg. The site of phosphorylation is located at Ser-11 in the above sequence. The amino acid sequence around the site of phosphorylation contains the sequence - Arg-Arg-X-Ser- associated with many of the better substrates of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The sequence of residues 15-24 above is highly homologous with the sequence of residues 6-15 of pig kidney fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, showing 7 out of 10 residues in identical positions. The yeast enzyme, however, has a dissimilar NH2-terminal region which extends beyond the NH2 terminus of mammalian fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases and contains a unique phosphorylation site.
