Abstract;The physiological correlation between casein kinase I (CK-I) and an isoform .ETA. of protein kinase C (C-kinase .ETA.) was investigated in vitro, since it has been reported that (i) cholesterol-3-sulfate (CH-3S) effectively activates C-kinase .ETA. rather than the other isoforms (C-kinase .EPSILON. and C-kinase .DELTA.) in vitro; and (ii) CK-I efficiently phosphorylates CH-3S-binding proteins, such as high mobility group protein 1 (HMG1), in the presence of CH-3S in vitro. We found that (i) CK-I phosphorylated Thr in preference to Ser on recombinant human C-kinase isoform .ETA. (rhC-kinase .ETA.) in the presence of CH-3S; (ii) this phosphorylation was selectively inhibited by CK-I-7 (a CK-I inhibitor); and (iii) the activity (phosphorylation of protamine sulfate) of rhC-kinase .ETA. was approx. 3.2-fold stimulated by its full phosphorylation by CK-I in the presence of 3 .MU.M CH-3S. These results suggest that CK-I is a protein kinase responsible for the activation of rhC-kinase .ETA. in the presence of CH-3S in vitro. (author abst.)
