Abstract
The phosphorylation of α‐crystallin B was studied in homogenates of autopsy samples of brain tissue from patients with Alexander's disease, a condition characterized by over‐expression of this protein. After incubation in the presence of [γ‐32P]ATP and cAMP the homogenates were analyzed by two‐dimensional electrophoresis, (isoelectric focusing followed by SDS‐PAGE). Three major polypeptides having the same molecular weight as bovine lens α‐crystallin B and pIs 7.1, 6.9 and 6.7 were detected in the Coomassie blue stained gels. These three polypeptides were recognized by an α‐crystallin B‐specific antiserum in Western blots. The polypeptides with pIs 7.1 and 6.7 co‐migrated in isoelectric focusing gels with bovine lens αB and its phosphorylated form αBp, respectively. Radioautography of the two‐dimensional gels demonstrated the presence of 32P in the most acidic polypeptide. The results demonstrate the occurrence of αB phosphorylation in Alexander's disease brain tissue.
