Smooth muscle caldesmon was phosphorylated by protein kinase C up to 1.90 mol P/mol caldesmon. Phosphorylated caldesmon was completely digested by trypsin and the produced phosphopeptides were purified by C-8 and C-18 reverse phase chromatography. Four phosphopeptides were isolated. The amino acid sequences of these peptides were determined and two phosphoserines were identified. Both were localized in the C-terminal domain at serine-587 and serine-726. By following the time course of phosphorylation, serine-587 was found to be the preferred site. Effects of the phosphorylation of caldesmon by protein C on the inhibition of acto-H-meromyosin ATPase activity was also examined. While unphosphorylated caldesmon inhibited the ATPase activity by 60%, phosphorylated caldesmon hardly inhibited the ATPase activity. Therefore, it was concluded that the phosphorylation at serine-726 and serine-587 reverses the inhibitory activity of caldesmon.
