title: Polycation-dependent, Ca2+-antagonized phosphorylation of calmodulin by casein kinase-2 and a spleen tyrosine protein kinase.
abstract: Ten distinct protein kinases have been tested for their ability to phosphorylate calmodulin. Only casein kinase-2 and a spleen tyrosine protein kinase (TPK-III) proved effective, their phosphorylation efficiency being dramatically enhanced by histones and other polybasic peptides while being depressed by 50 microM Ca2+. Phosphorylation by CK-2 takes place with a Km of 12 microM calmodulin, leading to the incorporation of more than 1.5 mol P/mol substrate. Ser81 and Thr79 are among the residues affected. On the other hand, the two tyrosyl residues of calmodulin are both phosphorylated by TPK-III, Tyr99 being preferred over Tyr138.
