The endogenous phosphorylation of human erythrocyte cytosolic proteins is markedly increased when the crude cytosol, prior to incubation in the presence of [y-32P] ATP, is submitted to DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Some proteins, including 22 and 23 kDa proteins, are preferentially phosphorylated by cytosolic casein kinase CS, whereas other proteins, including 42 kDa protein, are preferentially phosphorylated by casein kinase CTS. The CS-catalyzed phosphorylation is strongly inhibited by physiological ionic strength (150 mM KCl or NaCl) and by physiological levels (3 mM) of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, while CTS-catalyzed phosphorylation is unaffected. The very poor endogenous phosphorylation of these proteins in the crude cytosol may be due to the presence of other cytosolic inhibitors which are removed by DEAE-cellulose chromatography.
