MARKS Phosphorylation
• Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate
• 88 kDa heat stable substrate for PKC
• Phosphorylation of MARKS is measure of PKC activation
• Analyze by immunoprecipitation post metabolic labeling with 32Pi

PKC inhibits cAMP-induced P450c17
• PMA and AVP both inhibit P450c17 and testosterone production in Leydig cells
• Both PMA and AVP stimulate MARKS phosphorylation
• Calphostin C blocks the inhibitory effects of AVP on P450c17 expression
• Activation of PKC inhibits P450c17

Site-directed mutagenesis of Cyp17 CRR
(-346 to –245)
•Oligos were designed to place an XhoI once every ten base pairs within the 100 base pair CRR.
•This resulted in changing as few as three (mutant 6) to as many as six (mutant 1 and 7) of every ten nucleotides.
•Mutagenesis was performed with Altered Sites (Promega) and all mutants were verified by sequencing.

Summary and plans
• ATF2 may be the involved but is likely pairing with an as yet unidentified and cAMP-induced factor
• C/EBPis a likely candidate-- cAMP induces its expression
• More detailed mutagenesis, expression cloning, in vivo foot printing
