title: Regulation of the phosphorylation of histones and glycogen synthase.
abstract: The phosphorylation of histones and glycogen synthase by protein kinases was analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. The phosphorylation of histone III-S by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-PK) or cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G-PK) was inhibited by archidonic acid, sphingosine and staurosporine. Using the catalytic subunit of A-PK, the phosphorylation of histone VIII-S was inhibited by Ca2+, arachidonic acid and staurosporine; the phosphorylation of histone II-S was inhibited by phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl inositol, arachidonic acid and staurosporine; and the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase was inhibited by arachidonic acid and staurosporine. After being phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of A-PK, calpain II with 4 microM Ca2+ was less effective in degrading histone III-S, which had been prephosphorylated by PK-C.
