Accelerated calcium transport into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of the heart may mediate the inotropic actions of agents that act to increase adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) within the cell. Studies in our laboratory have shown that ATP-dependent Ca uptake by cardiac microsomes rich in SR is enhanced by pretreatment with bovine cardiac cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-PK). Ca2+-activated ATPase is increased concomitantly with Ca uptake, stoichiometric coupling of 2 moles of Ca2+ taken up per mole of ATP hydrolyzed remaining constant. The steady state level of Ca binding is not increased by cyclic AMP-PK pretreatment, suggesting that the turnover rate of the transport system rather than the number of transport sites is increased. Phosphorylation of the SR by protein kinase is half-maximal at approximately 10(-7) M cyclic AMP, a value similar to that which gives half-maximal stimulation of both Ca uptake and Ca2+-activated ATPase. Over 80 percent of the 32P associated with membrane protein is identifiable as phosphoserine and phosphothreonine. The 32P is incorporated into a 22,000-dalton protein as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This protein, which we have tentatively named phospholamban (lambda alpha mu beta alpha psi usilon epsilon omega = to receive) appears to particiapte in the regulation of calcium transport by the heart's SR and may play a role in the inotropic actions of drugs, such as epinephrine, which act upon the cyclic AMP-PK system.

Recently accumulated knowledge allows more precise comparison of the structural (and possibly evolutionary) relationships of several different animal rhabdoviruses: vesicular stomatitis virus, rabies virus, Kern Canyon virus, and spring viremia of carp virus. Each virus is composed primarily of a glycoprotein, an RNA-associated nucleoprotein, and one or two membrane proteins. Vesicular stomatitis virus group viruses contain lesser amounts of two additional distinct polypeptides, NS and L. The separate viruses undergo structural polypeptide phosphorylation in vivo according to characteristic patterns. In vesicular stomatitis virus the NS protein is selectively phosphorylated. In rabies group viruses and in spring viremia of carp virus, the nucleoprotein is the predominant phosphoprotein; in these viruses only the phosphorylated moiety is selectively cleaved off with trypsin. In Kern Canyon virus, only membrane protein and glycoprotein are weakly phosphorylated. Each virus possesses a virion-bound protein kinase. Vesicular stomatitis virus group viruses, Kern Canyon virus, and spring viremia of carp virus only contain virion-bound transcriptases of respectively decreasing levels of activity demonstrable in vitro. Vesicular stomatitis and Kern Canyon viruses replicate efficiently in enucleated cells; rabies virus does not. Based upon these observations, it is suggested that vesicular stomatitis virus may represent the most highly evolved of these rhabdoviruses, whereas spring viremia of carp and Kern Canyon viruses may represent "evolutionary links" between the vesicular stomatitis and rabies virus groups.

In red cell preparations from reticulocyte-poor (untreated animals; approximately 2% reticulocytes) and reticulocyte-rich blood (animals pretreated with acetylphenylhydrazide; approximately 60% reticulocytes) of rats, cAMP binding sites and cAMP-dependent protein kinase activities were determined. High affinity binding sites for cAMP were present both in membrane and cytoplasmic preparations; while the apparent binding constants determined in both cell fractions (approximately 3 x 10(-9) M for membrane, approximately 2 x 10(-8) M for cytoplasmic fractions) were independent of the reticulocyte content of the preparations, the respective numbers of sites were about twice as high in the reticulocyte-rich as in the reticulocyte-poor preparations. In membrane preparations, significant cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity could be detected only in membrane fractions from reticulocyte-rich blood which were considerably contaminated by intracellular components ("haemoglobin-containing membranes') while in washed ("haemoglobin-free') membranes no cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity was found. In cytoplasmic preparations both from reticulocyte-poor and reticulocyte-rich blood, two different protein kinases, a low and a high Ka enzyme, were tentatively differentiated by kinetic data; the apparent activation constant for the high Ka enzyme (approximately less than 5 x 10(-8) M) was in the concentration range of the binding constants determined on cytoplasmic preparations. The activity of the high Ka protein kinase was several fold higher in reticulocyte-rich than in reticulocyte-poor cytoplasmic fractions, while the activity of the low Ka enzyme was obviously independent of the reticulocyte content. From the results obtained, it is concluded that in premature rat erythrocytes, membrane protein(s) may serve as protein substrates for cAMP-dependent protein kinase(s) located in the cytoplasm. This assumption was supported by experiments with intact erythrocytes (prelabelled with inorganic 32P-phosphate) from reticulocyte-rich blood: isoprenaline, theophylline, and also dibutyryl-cAMP significantly increased phosphorylation of membrane protein of these cells. From the results presented (and others previously reported) it becomes evident that only premature rat erythrocytes, i.e. reticulocytes, are equipped with a beta-adrenergic receptor-effector system consisting of a beta-adrenergically stimulated adenyl cyclase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase(s). Obviously, the adrenergic receptor system and also part of the effector system is lost during the process of red cell maturation.

Experiments with cold exposure confirmed previous studies indicating that the endogenous protein acitvator of phosphodiesterase (PDEA) isolated by Cheung participates in the in vivo regulation of 3':5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in adrenal medulla. This activator of cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) (3':5'-cyclic-AMP 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.17) is present in the particulate as well as the soluble fractions of rat brain. It was found that a purified cAMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37), in the presence of ATP and cAMP, stimulates 3-fold the release of PDEA from the particulate fraction of rat brain and adrenal medulla. The substrate for this phosphorylation could be either a membrane protein that binds PDEA or PDEA itself. In vivo evidence, however, obtained by injecting rats intraventricularly with [gamma-32P]ATP, indicates that the PDEA does not contain radioactive phosphate in its structure. Also, PDEA could not be phosphorylated by protein kinase in vitro. The following mechanism is postulated: when the intracellular content of cAMP increases it activates a protein kinase which phosphorylates a PDEA-binding membrane protein and releases PDEA. In turn this binds to activator-deficient high Km PDE and decreases its Km to facilitate the hydrolysis of the increased concentration of cAMP.

Protein kinase, phosphodiesterase and adenylate cyclase of plasma membrane of adipocytes and the effect of the feedback regulator (FR) on these three enzymes was measured and compared. The basal level ratio of adenylate cyclase to phosphodiesterase to protein kinase was 1:1.9:3.0. Epinephrine and/or FR alters this ratio. FR stimulated protein kinase activity up to 3 fold in the presence of a wide range of enzyme concentrations, 5-50 mug membrane protein/tube. The concentration of FR effective for stimulation of membrane protein kinase was much greater than that needed for inhibition of adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterases. The inhibition by FR on adenylate cyclase was the most potent effect among the 3 enzymes. 1 U (or 2 U/ml) of FR inhibited 50% of the adenylate cyclase activity in a defined system. The maximum effective concentration of FR for stimulation of membrane protein kinase was greater than 10 U/ml. Histone type 11A was the best substrate for protein phosphorylation so far observed. The FR stimulatory effect was observed at all substrate concentrations used ranging from 1-5 mg/ml. A NaF concentration curve shows that 15 mM NaF gave maximum phosphorylation. The stimulatory effect of FR was observed both in the presence and absence of NaF. Protein kinase of adipocyte plasma membrane was mainly cAMP-independent. The effect of FR (20 U/ml) in stimulation of protein phosphorylation was much greater than that of cAMP (1 X 10(-6) M). The cAMP and FR effects seemed to be additive. Preincubation of plasma membrane with FR in the absence of ATP resulted in no decrease but slight increase in protein kinase activity. A shift in protein kinase, phosphodiesterase and adenylate cyclase ratios by FR suggests the regulatory role of FR in cAMP metabolism in adipocytes.

The effect of cyclic AMP on Ca2+ uptake by rabbit heart microsomal vesicular fractions representing mainly fragments of either sarcoplasmic reticulum or sarcolemma was investigated in the presence and absence of soluble cardiac protein kinase and with microsomes prephosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The acceleration of oxalate-promoted Ca2+ uptake by fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum following cyclic AMP-dependent membrane protein phosphorylation, observed by other authors, was confirmed. In addition it was found that the acceleration was greatest at pH 7.2 and almost negligible at pH 6.0 and pH 7.8. A very marked increase in Ca2+ uptake by cyclic AMP-dependent membrane protein phosphorylation was observed in the presence of boric acid, a reversible inhibitor of Ca2+ uptake. In addition to the microsomal fraction thought to represent mainly fragments of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the effect of protein kinase and cyclic AMP on Ca2+ uptake was investigated in a cardiac sarcolemma-enriched membrane fraction. Ca2+ uptake by sarcolemmal vesicles, unlike Ca2+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, was inhibited by low doses of digitoxin. The acceleration of oxalate-promoted Ca2+ uptake by cyclic AMP and soluble cardiac protein kinase, however, was quite similar to what was seen in preparations of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum, which suggests that it may reflect an acceleration of active Ca2+ transport across the myocardial cell surface membrane.

Renal cortical plasma membranes were solubilized with sodium deoxycholate. The membrane-bound cyclic AMP receptors retained biologic activity in the detergent-dispersed state exhibiting the properties of high affinity for cyclic AMP, saturability and specificity. Half-maximal binding of cycle [3H]-AMP to these receptors was found to occur at 0.06 muM and 1.5 pmol of cyclic [3H]AMP was bound per mg membrane protein at saturation (0.5 muM cyclic [3H]AMP). Sodium deoxycholate-solubilized membrane proteins were chromatographed on Biogel A-5m. Cyclic [3H]AMP receptors eluted in the internal volume at positions equivalent to molecular sizes of 50 000 and 20 000 daltons and in the void volume at molecular size greater than 450 000. After photoaffinity labeling the renal membrane receptors with cyclic [3H]AMP, we found peaks of tritium radioactivity which eluted at similar molecular size positions on this Bogel A-5m column. Further treatment of photoaffinity labeled membranes with sodium dodecyl sulfate, mercaptoethanol and urea, followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, showed bands of tritium-labeled receptor protein with relative mobilities corresponding to molecular sizes of 26 000 and 21 000 daltons. This study shows that porcine renal cortical membranes contain at least two molecular species of cyclic AMP receptors which may be associated with regulation of the membrane-bound cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

The subcellular distribution of the endogenous phosphodiesterase activator and its release from membranes by a cyclic AMP-dependent ATP:protein phosphotransferase was studied in fractions and subfractions of rat brain homogenate. These fractions were obtained by differential centrifugation and sucrose density gradient; their identity was ascertained by electron microscopy and specific enzyme markers. In the subcellular particulate fractions, the concentration of activator is highest in the microsomal fraction, followed by the mitochondrial and nuclear fractions. Gradient centrifugation of the main mitochondrial subfraction revealed that activator was concentrated in those fractions containing mainly synaptic membranes. Activator was releasted from membranes by a cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of membrane protein. The release of activator occurred mainly from the mitochondrial subfractions containing synaptic membranes and synaptic vesicles. The data support the view that a release of activator from membranes may be important in normalizing the elevated concentration of cyclic AMP following persistent transsynaptic activation of adenylate cyclase.

Electric stimulation (EC) of a suspension of native synaptic membranes of rat brain cortex in the Krebs-Ringer-glucose medium revealed Ca-dependent inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase and inhibition of transport Ca-activated, Mg-dependent ATPase. The effects observed are not induced by a change in the SH-groups of the membrane proteins and are removed by an addition of total lipids of the brain (membrane protein: lipid = 5:1) or 0.35 mM novocaine. Cyclic 3',5'-AMP in concentrations of 0.1--1.0 mM causes an inhibition (up to 50%) of Na+, K+-ATPase of native synaptic membranes. The Na+, K+-ATPase activity of purified membrane preparations is not changed either by the cyclic nucleotide, or by EC. It is assumed that depolarization of excitable membranes results in structural changes, mediated by the activation of protein kinase, and manifesting themselves as labilization of protein-lipid ratios.

The effects of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) on the phosphorylation of membrane proteins in intact rabbit and human erythrocytes were investigated. The addition of cyclic AMP to intact human or rabbit erythrocytes results in an increase in the incorporation of ortho[32P]phosphate into several membrane protein components which are known to serve as substrates for the cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinases. Thus this increase in protein phsophorylation is probably due to the activation of either soluble or membrane-bound cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinases. Incubation of human erythrocytes in the presence of ortho [32P]phosphate and cyclic AMP also leads to the phosphorylation of a membrane protein component, band 7, which has not been previously detected in the autophosphorylation of isolated ghosts. Since rabbit erythrocyte membranes do not contain any cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, the results suggest that cytoplasmic kinases also play a role in the phosphorylation of membrane proteins in intact cells.
