- The kinetics of phosphorylation of the Sepharose-coupledpeptide RRASVA by catalytic subunit of proteinkinaseA, and diastereomers of this peptide, containingd-amino acids successively in each position, were studied. Coupling of these peptides with the amino and carboxyl termini to CH- and AH-Sepharoses had similar effects on the phosphorylation reaction, increasing theKmand decreasing theVvalues, respectively. The diastereomeric peptides were also phosphorylated by the enzyme and the rate of this reaction depended on the position of substitution ofl-amino acids with theird-analogs. However, this dependence was much less pronounced if compared with stereoselectivity of the enzyme in reactions with these peptides in solution: theKmvalues for the Sepharose-coupledpeptides were almost insensitive to the replacement ofl-amino acids withd-analogs and moderate stereoselectivity was revealed in the maximal velocity of the reaction. The Sepharose-coupledpeptide containingd-serine was also phosphorylated by proteinkinaseA while the same peptide in solution did not interact with the enzyme. Consequently, the polymer, enveloping the phosphorylatable peptide, may remarkably influence the recognition of the reaction site, altering both V and Km values.

- A set of peptides, Lys-Arg-Pro-Ser-X-Arg-Ala-Lys-Ala, where X stands for Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, Phe, Pro, Lys, Arg, Asp, Glu, Asn, Gln, and His, was synthesized and the kinetics of their phosphorylation by protein kinase C was studied. All compounds, except the peptide with Pro at the position X, were effectively phosphorylated by this enzyme, and for these substrates the kinetic constantsKm, maximal velocity constantsV, and second-order rate constantskIIwere determined. The data were analyzed by means of quantitative structure–activity relationships, taking into account hydrophobicity of the variable amino acids, bulkiness of their side groups quantified by molecular refractivity constants MR, and ionic status of these substituents by using an independent variable +1 for cationic, −1 for anionic, and 0 for nonionic substituents. These structural factors influenced theKmvalues, while the maximal velocity of phosphorylation depended mostly on the ionic status of the variable amino acid. The latter effect seems to characterize electrostatic interaction between the substrate molecule and some negative charge located in the enzyme active center.
