Immunoaffinity-purified insulin receptors were used to analyse and compare the serine/threonine sites phosphorylated on the insulin receptor in vitro (isolated receptor) with the insulin-stimulated phosphorylation in vivo (intact cells in culture). In vivo, insulin-stimulation resulted in the appearance of three phosphoserine-containing phosphopeptides and a distinct phosphothreonine peptide (threonine 1348). In vitro, similar phosphoserine peptides were observed but the phosphothreonine peptide was absent. These results indicate that multiple serine sites are phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro and that an additional protein kinase mediates insulin-stimulated insulin receptor threonine phosphorylation in vivo.
