Summary

Casein kinase from lactating bovine mammary gland catalyses the transfer of the terminal phosphoryl group of ATP to specific serine residues in dephosphorylated caseins. Best substrates for casein kinase are the dephosphorylated proteins (bovine αs1 - and β-caseins and pepsin), unphosphorylated human β-casein and the dephosphorylated peptide (residues 1–25) from bovine β-casein. Results obtained with bovine and human β-caseins indicate that the two serines underlined in the cluster Ser-Leu-Ser-Ser-Ser are particularly susceptible to the action of casein kinase. Since a similar sequence is found in dephosphorylated αs1-casein, it is probable that serines in this region of αs1-casein are also phosphorylated. The results support the concept that certain serines in casein are particularly susceptible to phosphorylation by casein kinase.
