Phosphorylation of glucokinase from rat liver in vitro by protein kinase A with a concomitant decrease of its activity

• Glucokinase, purified from rat liver, was phosphorylated to an extent of 1 mol [32P]-phosphate/mol of enzyme when incubated with [32P]ATP and protein kinase A from pig or rabbit muscle. The phosphate was bound to serine residues. K0.5 increased and Vmax decreased upon phosphorylation. The phosphate group was removed during incubation of the phosphorylated glucokinase with alkaline phosphatase. Enzymatically inactive glucokinase was not phosphorylated by the protein kinase.
