Recent studies suggest that taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is involved in the regulation of protein phosphorylation in excitable tissues such as the retina, brain and heart. To determine the structural requirements for the effect of taurine on the phosphorylation of a 44 kDa protein(s), a series of taurine analogs were tested in an in vitro assay using a subcellular mitochondrial fraction of rat heart. Inhibitors of the phosphorylation of the 44 kDa protein include taurine and close structural analogs of taurine such as aminoethylhydrogen sulfate and α-sulfo-β-alanine. Secondary amines with the taurine structure partially locked into a saturated 5-membered ring such as (±)piperidine-3-sulfonic acid and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-8-sulfonic acid also possess inhibitory activity. Sulfone analogs of taurine such as 2-aminoethylmethylsulfone, a non-restricted taurine analog with maximal conformational flexibility about its amino and sulfone moieties, and (±)3-aminotetrahydrothiopyran-1,1-dioxide, an analog containing the sulfone moiety in a six-membered ring structure, were more potent inhibitors of phosphorylation than taurine despite the fact that the sulfone moiety is neither an isosteric nor isoelectronic substitution for the sulfonic acid moiety. The results of this study indicate that the inhibition of the phosphorylation of the 44 kDa protein in a rat heart mitochondrial fraction is relatively specific for the taurine structure. Two analogs of taurine with unsaturated rings containing a primary sulfonic acid and a secondary amine. Pyridine-3-sulfonic acid and quinoline-8-sulfonic acid, were observed to be stimulators of the phosphorylation of the 44 kDa protein. In addition, 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid also stimulated phosphorylation. Phase separation experiments with Triton X-114 suggest that the 44 kDa phosphoprotein is a soluble protein and not an integral membrane protein of the mitochondria. Phosphate incorporation into specific amino acids was determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis on celluloses plates and was found exclusively in the serine residues.
