The first two steps of de novo pyrimidine synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are catalyzed by a multifunctional protein, coded by the URA2 gene and which has the carbamoyl-phosphate (CPSase) synthetase and aspartate transcarbamylase (ATCase) activities. The native enzyme purified from protease-B-deficient URA2-transformed cells, was phosphorylated in vitro using catalytic subunits of pure cAMP-dependent protein kinase. After electrophoresis under denaturing conditions, a single 240-kDa species was found to be phosphorylated. Trypsin digestion of this species gave a single, very acidic phosphopeptide upon isoelectric focussing. Purification by HPLC followed by amino acid sequencing of this peptide, showed a phosphoserine at the expected consensus sequence Arg-Arg-Phe-Ser. Knowledge of the URA2 gene sequence allowed the site to be located in the peptide link between dihydroorotase-like and ATCase domains. Such a location may explain why phosphorylation of the URA2 protein changed neither CPSase and ATCase activities nor their sensitivity to UTP, their common specific inhibitor.
