Z. Technikovadobrova et al., PHOSPHORYLATION OF MITOCHONDRIAL PROTEINS IN BOVINE HEART - CHARACTERIZATION OF KINASES AND SUBSTRATES, FEBS letters, 322(1), 1993, pp. 51-55
Protein phosphorylation by [gamma-P-32]ATP in total extract and subfra
ctions of bovine heart mitochondria has been studied. The results show
that, in addition to pyruvate dehydrogenase, three mitochondrial prot
eins, with molecular weights of 44,000, 39,000 and 31,000 Da, are phos
phorylated by a cAMP-independent mitochondrial protein kinase. Three o
ther proteins associated with mitochondria, with molecular weights of
125,000, 19,000 and 6,500 Da, are phosphorylated by the cytoplasmic cA
MP-dependent protein kinase (kinase A).
