Аннотация:Synaptotagmin I is an abundant synaptic vesicle protein that binds Ca2+ in a phospholipid-dependent manner and is thought to function in synaptic vesicle exocytosis. We have now studied the phosphorylation of synaptotagmin I. Synaptotagmin I is one of the major substrates in brain for casein kinase II, which phosphorylates synaptotagmin at a single threonine. The phosphorylation site was mapped using recombinant proteins to threonine 128 of synaptotagmin I, which is located in the sequence between the transmembrane region and the C2 domain repeats of synaptotagmin I. The phosphorylation site of synaptotagmin I is also present in synaptotagmin II and is evolutionarily conserved between different species. Preceding the phosphorylation site, synaptotagmins I and II contain a lysine-rich sequence. Casein kinase II phosphorylation of many substrates is strongly stimulated by the addition of polylysine, but phosphorylation of synaptotagmin I by casein kinase II is not. In recombinant proteins, removal of the lysine-rich sequence of synaptotagmin I makes its phosphorylation dependent on exogenous polylysine, suggesting that the lysine-rich sequence in synaptotagmin serves as an endogenous polylysine stimulation signal for casein kinase II. Our data demonstrate that synaptotagmin I is an efficient substrate for casein kinase II at a conserved site with a possible modulatory role in nerve terminal function.
