The present report examines the effect of different calcitonins and analogs on the in vitro phosphorylation of brain synaptic membrane proteins. The findings demonstrate that calcitonin is a potent inhibitor of several brain synaptic proteins and that salmon and eel calcitonins are considerably more potent than thyrocalcitonin in eliciting this effect. Deletion of leucine from position 16 in salmon calcitonin sequence resulted in a drastic loss of inhibitory activity, indicating the importance for a hydrophobic residue at position 16 in the intact calcitonin molecule. The mechanism of calcitonin inhibition of protein phosphorylation was likely due to the blockade of stimulation of protein kinases by calmodulin.
