Abstract
In this study we describe the characterization and use of new peptide substrates for assaying glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) which are based on the sequence around the single GSK-3 phosphorylation site in the translation factor eIF2B. The new peptides offer important advantages over previous substrates, which were based on the sequence around the multiple GSK-3 phosphorylation sites in glycogen synthase (GS), for the assay of GSK-3 in cell extracts. In particular, decreases in GSK-3 activity following, e.g., insulin treatment, are partially or completely masked when the GS-based peptides are used but are readily measured using the new, eIF2B-based, peptides. The new peptides, unlike those based on GS, are therefore suitable for the assay of changes in GSK-3 activity in cell extracts without the need for prior immunoprecipitation or ion-exchange chromatography.
