GAP-43 (growth-associated protein of 43 kDa; also known as neuromodulin, P-57, B-50 and F-1) is a neuronal calmodulin binding protein and a major protein kinase C (PKC) substrate in mammalian brain. Here we describe the phosphorylation by and the site specificity of different PKC isotypes. The conventional PKC beta 1 and the novel PKCs delta and epsilon effectively phosphorylated recombinant GAP-43 in vitro; atypical PKC zeta did not. The K(m) values (between 0.6 and 2.3 microM) were very low, demonstrating a high-affinity interaction between kinase and substrate. All PKC isotypes were shown to phosphorylate serine-41 in GAP-43. When using a 19-amino-acid oligopeptide based on the GAP-43 phosphorylation site as substrate, there was a significant difference compared with polypeptide phosphorylation. The V(max) values of PKC beta 1 and PKC epsilon were much higher for this oligopeptide than for the complete protein (up to 10-fold); in contrast, their apparent affinities for the peptide were much lower (up to 100-fold) than for the intact GAP-43 polypeptide. Furthermore, phosphorylation of the GAP-43 oligopeptide by PKC beta 1 was more sensitive to a catalytic-site inhibitor than was phosphorylation of intact GAP-43. These results suggest that there are multiple sites of interaction between GAP-43 and PKC.
