Identification of Tyr-185 as the site of tyrosine autophosphorylation of recombinant mitogen-activated protein kinase p42mapk

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1992 Jul 1;89(13):5779-83. doi: 10.1073/pnas.89.13.5779.

Abstract

Tyrosine phosphorylation of 42-kDa mitogen-activated protein kinase (p42mapk) occurs during expression of the recombinant protein in Escherichia coli, as well as during in vitro phosphorylation of the protein purified from this source. Structural analyses were performed to identify the site(s) of tyrosine phosphorylation of recombinant p42mapk, both during expression of the protein in E. coli and during in vitro incubations with ATP/Mg2+/Mn2+. Mass spectrometry and phosphopeptide mapping showed that tyrosine phosphorylation of recombinant p42mapk occurs on Tyr-185, the site of regulatory tyrosine phosphorylation that occurs in mitogen-stimulated mammalian cells.
