Phosphorylated ribosomal proteins were isolated from Xenopus 40 S ribosomal subunits by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to enable direct analysis of the phosphorylation sites in ribosomal protein S6. Xenopus S6 closely resembled mammalian S6 with respect to the following properties: (i) reversed-phase HPLC elution behavior, (ii) amino-terminal sequence (96% identity in the first 37 residues), and (iii) an identical sequence within the region of its phosphorylation sites. Whereas S6 was the only ribosomal protein phosphorylated in vitro by Xenopus S6 kinase II, ribosomes phosphorylated in vivo were found to be associated with an additional phosphoprotein having an amino-terminal sequence identical to that of the ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal extension protein CEP 80. S6 kinase II phosphorylated at least four sites (serines 1-3 and 5) in the sequence Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser(1)-Ser(2)-Leu-Arg-Ala-Ser(3)-Thr-Ser(4)-Lys-Ser(5)-, which correspond to the residues known to be phosphorylated in the carboxyl-terminal region of mammalian S6. The in vivo S6 phosphorylation sites in maturing Xenopus oocytes were shown to be located within the same cluster of serine residues, although individual sites were not identified. Kinetic analysis of S6 kinase II-catalyzed phosphorylation events indicated a simple sequential mechanism of multisite phosphorylation initiating at either serine 2 (preferred) or serine 1, with the rates of phosphorylation of individual sites occurring in the order serine 2 greater than serine 1 greater than serine 3 greater than serine 5. |
