Bovine adrenal medullary chromogranin A, the major soluble component of chromaffin granules, is a phosphorylated glycoprotein. In the present work, phosphorylation and glycosylation sites were determined using mild proteolysis, peptide separation, microsequencing, and mass analysis by electrospray and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight techniques. Seven post-translational modification sites were detected. Two O-linked glycosylation sites, each consisting of the trisaccharide NeuAc2-3Gal1-3GalNAc1, were located in the middle part of the protein, on Ser¹⁸⁶ and on Thr²³¹. The former residue is present in the antibacterial peptide named chromacin. Four phosphorylation sites were located on serine residues at positions Ser⁸¹ in the N-terminal region of the protein and Ser³⁰⁷, Ser³⁷², and Ser³⁷⁶ in the C-terminal end. One additional phosphorylation site was found on the tyrosine residue at position Tyr¹⁷³, the N-terminal amino acid of chromacin. With the exception of the phosphorylation on Tyr¹⁷³, all of the other post-translational modifications are located on highly conserved chromogranin A regions, implying some biological importance.
