1. Phosphoproteins of different regions of the Hirudo medicinalis central nervous system have been analysed by means of two-dimensional electrophoresis. 2. Serotonin, 8-Br-cAMP and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate stimulate phosphorylation of a number of proteins whose isoelectric points and molecular weights are presented. 3. A group of proteins of 78 kDa and pI = 6-6.5, whose level of phosphorylation increases in the presence of serotonin, 8-Br-cAMP and phorbol ester, is observed only in segmental but not in cephalic or caudal ganglia. 4. The putative roles of these phosphoproteins are discussed.

Abstract
1. Phosphoproteins of different regions of the Hirudo medicinalis central nervous system have been analysed by means of two-dimensional electrophoresis. 2. Serotonin, 8-Br-cAMP and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate stimulate phosphorylation of a number of proteins whose isoelectric points and molecular weights are presented. 3. A group of proteins of 78 kDa and pI = 6-6.5, whose level of phosphorylation increases in the presence of serotonin, 8-Br-cAMP and phorbol ester, is observed only in segmental but not in cephalic or caudal ganglia. 4. The putative roles of these phosphoproteins are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
