title: Phosphorylation of osteopontin by Golgi apparatus casein kinase.
abstract: Osteopontin (OPN) is a ubiquitous multiphosphorylated secretory glycoprotein. Twenty-seven phosphorylated serines have been identified in bovine milk OPN (E. S. Sorensen et al. (1995) Protein Sci. 4, 2040-2049). Nineteen of these phosphoacceptor sites are fully conserved in rat OPN, all displaying the consensus for the Golgi apparatus casein kinase, G-CK (S-x-E/Sp). Here we show that rat OPN is indeed phosphorylated more readily than casein itself by G-CK from either rat mammary gland or liver. OPN is also phosphorylated by casein kinases-1 and -2 (CK1, CK2), though less readily than casein. If OPN kinase activities are normalized in terms of casein phosphorylation, OPN phosphorylation rate by G-CK is 78-fold and 19-fold higher than those measured with CK2 and CK1, respectively. These data, in conjunction with the specific location of G-CK to the Golgi apparatus, where CK2 and CK1 are hardly detectable, support the view that G-CK is the main if not the only physiological agent committed to the phosphorylation of OPN.
