Horizontal optokinetic stimulation of rabbit retinain vivoevokes increased expression of acyl coenzyme A‐binding protein (ACBP), also known as ‘diazepam binding inhibitor,’ from retinal Müller cells. If the expressed ACBP were also secreted by Müller cells, then stimulus‐evoked secretion of ACBP could influence the activity of GABAAreceptor‐expressing retinal neurons. In this study, we examinein vitrowhether ACBP is secreted by Müller glial cells and Müller‐like QNR/K2 cells following stimulation with elevated levels of KCl and phorbol myristic acetate (PMA). KCl and PMA stimulation evoked secretion of threonine‐phosphorylated ACBP. A sequence analysis of ACBP shows that it has five potential phosphorylation sites: Two threonine sites fit a protein kinase C phosphorylation pattern. Two threonine sites fit a casein kinase II (CK2) pattern. One serine site fits a CK2 pattern. As CK2 is not expressed in QNR/K2 cells, it is probable that protein kinase C accounts for the phosphorylation of ACBP in these cells and for the PMA‐evoked secretion of ACBP. Serine phosphorylation was constitutive. Horizontal optokinetic stimulation increased threonine‐phosphorylated ACBP in rabbit retina. Phosphorylation of ACBP may influence its target affinity. We used a proteolytic fragment of ACBP, octadecaneuropeptide (ODN), to investigate how threonine phosphorylation influences its affinity for GABAAreceptors. Threonine‐phosphorylated ODN had a stronger affinity for GABAAreceptors than did unphosphorylated ODN or unphosphorylated ACBP. We conclude that stimulus‐induced Müller cell secretion of phosphorylated ACBP could influence the GABAergic transmission in neighboring retinal neurons.
