title: Calmodulin binding and protein phosphorylation in adrenal medulla coated vesicles.
abstract: Coated vesicles from bovine adrenal medulla contained clathrin and major detergent-insoluble polypeptides of 120-100, 51 and 49 kDa. Intact coated vesicles and vesicles lacking clathrin light chains were bound by immobilized calmodulin in the presence of Ca2+. Clathrin in the form of 700 A cages was not bound. The calmodulin binding components in intact coated vesicles are therefore contributed by the enclosed vesicle or by the 120-100, 50 or 49 kDa polypeptides. The 51 kDa component incorporated 32Pi from labelled ATP by an endogenous kinase activity; no other coat or vesicle membrane protein was phosphorylated in vitro, either by intrinsic or exogenous kinases.
