One of the most abundant acidic proteins in rat brain has an Mr of 68,000 and a pI of 5.6 (68K 5.6 protein) when analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The 68K 5.6 protein was found in large relative amounts in brain cytoskeleton preparations and in membrane and supernatant fractions. High-salt washing and proteolytic digestion did not remove this protein from the membrane elements. The 68K 5.6 protein was also found in the microtubule-associated protein fraction of purified microtubules and was present in large relative amounts in preparations of intermediate-filament proteins. The 68K 5.6 protein binds to calmodulin in the presence of Ca2+ ions, and we found it to be an abundant acidic calmodulin-binding protein in brain tissue.

Cholera toxin catalyzes transfer of radiolabel from [32P]NAD+ to several peptides in particulate preparations of human foreskin fibroblasts. Resolution of these peptides by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis allowed identification of two peptides of Mr = 42,000 and 52,000 as peptide subunits of a regulatory component of adenylate cyclase. The radiolabeling of another group of peptides (Mr = 50,000 to 65,000) suggested that cholera toxin could catalyze ADP-ribosylation of cytoskeletal proteins. This suggestion was confirmed by showing that incubation with cholera toxin and [32P]NAD+ caused radiolabeling of purified microtubule and intermediate filament proteins.
