In previous studies in intact 3T3-L1 fibroblasts and adipocytes, we demonstrated that the phosphorylation state of an acidic, multicomponent Mr 80,000 protein appeared to be a specific and useful marker for the activation state of protein kinase C (Blackshear, P.J., Witters, L.A., Girard, P.R., Kuo, J.F., and Quamo, S.N. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 13304-13315). In the present studies, we demonstrate that the Mr 80,000 protein from rat adipose tissue was a substrate for protein kinase C in vitro, and co-migrated on two-dimensional gels with the analogous protein from murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes labeled by exposure of intact cells to 32Pi and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Partial proteolytic maps of the two 32P-proteins were nearly identical, supporting the postulate that the sites phosphorylated by protein kinase C in vitro, and in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in vivo, were similar or identical. Despite their similar apparent molecular weights, we were able to distinguish between the Mr 80,000 protein and protein kinase C by several physical criteria. The Mr 80,000 protein kinase C substrate was found in fractions of all rat tissues examined, but was most prominent in rat brain. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate also stimulated phosphorylation of the Mr 80,000 protein in several types of cultured neuronal cells, suggesting a possible role for this protein in cholinergic neurotransmission. The Mr 80,000 protein appears to be a useful marker for protein kinase C activation in a variety of cell types.
