title: Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of actin-binding proteins.
abstract: Chicken gizzard vinculin and filamin were found to be phosphorylated by Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). These two actin-binding proteins serve as substrates for protein kinase C specifically in the free form, whereas they are little phosphorylated by protein kinase C in the presence of F-actin. In contrast, alpha-actinin from chicken gizzard is less susceptible to phosphorylation by protein kinase C, either in the presence or in the absence of F-actin. In light of these data, the possibility that Ca2+ and phospholipid-dependent phosphorylation by protein kinase C may modulate the function of actin-binding proteins has to be considered.
