5'-p-Fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine (FSBA) is a useful reagent for the affinity labeling of adenine nucleotide binding proteins. We have developed an immunochemical approach to the detection of proteins that have been covalently modified with FSBA, which provides an alternative to the use of a radiolabeled ligand. Antibodies have been prepared against FSBA-modified glutamate dehydrogenase and purified by chromatography on ATP-agarose. The resulting affinity-purified antibodies react on Western blots only with proteins that have been labeled previously with the affinity reagent. The degree of immunoreactivity on Western blots correlates well with the extent of covalent modification as shown by studies on the modification and inhibition of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. In crude cellular extracts, numerous proteins can be labeled with FSBA and then detected by using this approach. The labeling and subsequent detection of these proteins can be blocked by including an excess of MgATP, which competes with FSBA for nucleotide-binding sites. The labeling of specific proteins in crude mixtures is saturable, as shown by labeling studies of p56lck, a protein-tyrosine kinase that is abundantly expressed in membranes from the T lymphoma cell line LSTRA.

The ppd1 mutant of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was isolated as a suppressor of the cyr2 mutation which caused alteration of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Three peaks of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity (peak I, II and III) were identified by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography of crude extracts of the wild-type strain. The ppd1 mutant was deficient in peak III phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. The peak III enzyme efficiently utilized the phosphorylated forms of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase and trehalase as substrate. The ppd1 mutation did not suppress the cyr1, CYR3 or ras1 ras2 mutations. The ppd1 locus was located on chromosome II and had identical characteristics with glc1. The ppd1 mutation suppressed the G1 arrest caused by nutritional limitation, but maintained sensitivity to mating pheromone. In diploids homozygous for the ppd1 mutation, no premeiotic DNA replication and commitment to intragenic recombination occurred and no spores were formed, suggesting that the accumulation of phosphorylated proteins in the absence of one of the phosphoprotein phosphatases is required for mitosis but not for the initiation of meiosis.

The cyr2 mutant of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, required cAMP for growth at 35 degrees C. The cyr2 mutation was suppressed by the bcy1 mutation which resulted in deficiency of the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The DEAE-Sephacel elution profile of cyr2 cAMP-dependent protein kinase was markedly different from that observed for the wild-type enzyme. With histone as substrate, the cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity of cyr2 cells showed 100-fold greater Ka value for activation by cAMP at 35 degrees C than that of the wild-type cells, while the Kd value for cAMP of the mutant enzyme was not altered. The electrophoretic character, molecular weight, and pI value of the regulatory subunit of the mutant enzyme were the same as those of the wild-type enzyme. When histone, trehalase, and glutamate dehydrogenase were used as substrate, the free catalytic subunit of the mutant enzyme showed a markedly decreased affinity for ATP and was more thermolabile compared to that of the wild-type enzyme. The results indicated that the cyr2 phenotype was produced by a structural mutation in the cyr2 gene coding for the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in yeast.

The active NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase of wild type yeast cells fractionated by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography was inactivated in vitro by the addition of either the cAMP-dependent or cAMP-independent protein kinases obtained from wild type cells. cAMP-dependent inhibition of glutamate dehydrogenase activity was not observed in the crude extract of bcy1 mutant cells which were deficient in the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase of CYR3 mutant cells, which has a high K alpha value for cAMP in the phosphorylation reaction, required a high cAMP concentration for the inactivation of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase. An increased inactivation of partially purified active NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (Mr = 450,000) was observed to correlate with increased phosphorylation of a protein subunit (Mr = 100,000) of glutamate dehydrogenase. The phosphorylated protein was labeled by an NADH analog, 5'-p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyladenosine. Activation and dephosphorylation of inactive NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase fractions were observed in vitro by treatment with bovine alkaline phosphatase or crude yeast cell extracts. These results suggested that the conversion of the active form of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase to an inactive form is regulated by phosphorylation through cAMP-dependent and cAMP-independent protein kinases.
