title: Phosphorylation by glycogen synthase kinase of inhibitor-2 does not change its structure in free state.
abstract: Inhibitor-2 (I2) is a thermostable protein that specifically binds to the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1), resulting in the formation of the inactive holoenzyme, ATP-Mg-dependent phosphatase. Phosphorylation of I2 at Thr-72 by glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) results in activation of the phosphatase, suggesting that kinase action triggers conformational change in the complex. In this paper, we characterize the effect of GSK-3 phosphorylation on the structure of free state I2[1-172] by nuclear magnetic resonance and circular dichroism spectroscopy, and show that phosphorylation has no significant effect on its conformation. We conclude that the conformational changes of ATP-Mg-dependent phosphatase induced by GSK-3 phosphorylation must depend on the interactions between PP1 and I2.
