RESUMO

[32P]pp15, the [32P]phosphorylated form of a specific cytosolic substrate of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, was purified to homogeneity from mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes incubated with 32Pi. Evidence presented here and previously indicates that pp15 contains a single phosphotyrosine residue. Alkylated [32P]pp15 was subjected to limited digestion with trypsin, after which three incompletely digested tryptic [32P]phosphopeptides were purified for analysis. Amino acid and radiochemical sequence analysis of the [32P]phosphopeptides revealed that pp15 is the phosphorylation product of 422(aP2) protein, a 15-kDa adipocyte protein previously sequenced in this laboratory from the corresponding cDNA.
