Voltage-dependent sodium channels from a variety of tissues are known to be phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase A. However, the functional significance of sodium channel phosphorylation is not clearly understood. Using whole-cell voltage-clamp techniques, we show that sodium currents (INas) in rabbit cardiac myocytes are enhanced by isoproterenol (ISO). This enhancement of INa by ISO 1) is holding potential dependent, 2) can be mimicked by forskolin and dibutyryl cAMP, and 3) is accompanied by an increase in the rate of Na+ channel inactivation. In single-channel, inside-out patch experiments, the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A also enhances INa and increases the rate of inactivation, suggesting that cardiac Na+ channel phosphorylation may be physiologically important. Addition of the protein kinase A inhibitor to the pipette solution in whole-cell experiments blocks the stimulatory effect of forskolin without blocking the effect of ISO, suggesting that ISO also enhances INa through a cAMP-independent pathway. To determine if ISO may stimulate INa through a direct G protein pathway, single channels were recorded in the presence of the Gs-activating GTP analogue, GTP gamma S, and the stimulatory G protein subunit, Gs alpha. Both of these agents enhanced INa without affecting the rate of Na+ channel inactivation. These results suggest that ISO enhances rabbit cardiac INa through a dual (direct and indirect) G protein regulatory pathway.

Phosphorylation of the reconstructed TTX-sensitive cytosolic protein of the bovine brain has been studied. Some properties of the protein are similar to those of the membrane potential-dependent sodium channel. It is shown that the influence of phosphorylation by protein kinase A on the reconstructed channel greatly depends on the mode of reconstruction. Phosphorylation fo reconstructed channels in the open state leads to their closing. Preliminary phosphorylation of channel-forming protein results in a considerable increase of the activation effect of veratrine and scorpion toxin.

The voltage-sensitive rat brain sodium channel is known to be phosphorylated by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), but the functional significance of that phosphorylation is unknown. We have shown that rat brain sodium channel currents expressed in Xenopus oocytes were enhanced by induction of PKA activity. Stimulation of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor or treatment with dibutyryl cAMP resulted in increased sodium current amplitudes without affecting the voltage dependence of channel activation or inactivation. These increases were completely blocked by preinjection of protein kinase inhibitor, a specific inhibitor of PKA. Injection of phosphatase into the oocytes resulted in a significant decrease in sodium current amplitude, indicating that phosphorylation is important for basal levels of sodium channel activity in oocytes. The enhancement was specific for the rat brain IIA sodium channel, because currents expressed from the rat muscle microI sodium channel were not enhanced by the same procedures. These data demonstrate a modulatory role of PKA phosphorylation on brain sodium channel function and suggest a means by which the electrical excitability of cells may be regulated.

Antibodies were raised against three peptides corresponding to the potential protein phosphorylation sites of rat-brain sodium channels by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). One of the antibody against sequence (C561-575) reacted to the channel molecule. This immunoreaction occurred in a sequence-specific manner, as it was inhibited by the antigen peptide itself but not inhibited by two other peptides. Although PKA phosphorylates two synthetic peptides, C561-575 and C681-689, of the three, anti-(C561-575) antibody can only inhibit the phosphorylation of peptide (C561-575). PKA catalyzed the incorporation of 3.1-3.5 mol of phosphates into the alpha subunit of the purified sodium channel. The anti-(C561-575) antibody inhibited the channel phosphorylation by 40%. Digestion of the phosphorylated sodium channel with lysyl endoproteinase yielded four major phosphorylated fragments of 3.5, 5.0, 7.0, and 10 kDa. However, similar digestion of the channel that was phosphorylated in the presence of anti-(C561-575) antibody did not yield the phosphorylated fragment of 3.5 kDa and gave the 7.0 kDa fragment in reducing yield. Inspection of these phosphorylated fragments by the predicted sizes of the peptide fragments containing the five potential phosphorylation sites gives a conclusion that anti-(C561-575) antibody inhibits the phosphorylation on Ser-573 completely, and on either Ser-610 or Ser-623 partially, probably due to their proximity orientation in the tertiary structure.

We sought to assess the effect of an increase in cAMP on sodium channels on adult rat cardiac ventricular myocytes. Sodium channels were studied with the use of the radiolabeled sodium channel-specific toxin [3H] batrachotoxinin benzoate ([3H]BTXB). Forskolin, isoproterenol, prostaglandin E1, cholera toxin, and pertussis toxin each increased cAMP levels and decreased the number of [3H]BTXB binding sites without changing the affinity of [3H]BTXB for the sodium channel. The cAMP analog 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (8-Br-cAMP) reduced the number of [3H]BTXB binding sites from 19 fmol/10(5) cells to 11 fmol/10(5) cells. [3H]BTXB binding site down-regulation was reversible, cAMP dose-dependent, and time-dependent. To test the hypothesis that the cAMP effect was mediated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation, we determined the effect of 8-Br-cAMP on [3H]BTXB binding after preincubation of myocytes with N-(2-(methylamino)ethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide dihydrochloride (H8), a protein kinase A inhibitor. H8 inhibited 70% of the decrease in the number of [3H]BTXB binding sites induced by 8-Br-cAMP. Thus increases in intracellular cAMP in cardiac myocytes reversibly induced a decrease in the number of [3H]BTXB binding sites via cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation, possibly of the sodium channel.

The phosphorylation of the cardiac sodium channel by adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A leads to its inactivation. It was shown that extracellular cAMP can also modulate the sodium channel of rat, guinea pig, and frog ventricular myocytes in a rapid (less than 50 milliseconds), reversible, and dose-dependent manner. The decrease in the sodium current was accompanied by a 10- to 15-millivolt shift in the steady-state availability of the sodium channel toward more negative potentials and was inhibited by guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) or pertussis toxin, suggesting that the extracellular modulation of the sodium channel by cAMP is mediated by a membrane-delimited mechanism that includes a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein.

Cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of the rat brain sodium channel was reported to be restricted to five sites within an approximately 210 amino acid region of the primary sequence that is deleted in the homologous sodium channel from rat skeletal muscle. We find that, in spite of this deletion, the rat muscle sodium channel alpha-subunit is also an excellent substrate for phosphorylation by this kinase both in primary muscle cells in tissue culture and in vitro after isolation from adult muscle. Sodium channel protein purified from adult rat skeletal muscle was readily phosphorylated in vitro by the catalytic subunit of the bovine cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKa). Only the 260,000 MW alpha-subunit was labeled, with a maximum level of incorporation in vitro of approximately 0.5 mol [32P]phosphate per mole of channel protein. The beta-subunit of the channel is not phosphorylated under these conditions. In primary rat skeletal muscle cells in culture, incorporation of phosphate into the channel alpha-subunit is stimulated 1.3- to 1.5-fold by treatment of the cells with forskolin. Phosphorylation of the sodium channel isolated from these cells could also be demonstrated in vitro using PKa. This in vitro phosphorylation could be inhibited 80-90% by pretreatment of the cells in culture with forskolin, suggesting that the sites labeled in vitro by PKa were the same as those phosphorylated in the intact cells by the endogenous cyclic AMP-dependent kinase. In both the adult muscle channel and the channel from muscle cells in culture, phosphorylation by PKa was limited to serine residues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Immunoprecipitation, radiophosphorylation and SDS-PAGE autoradiography enable the characterization of sodium channel polypeptides in the central nervous system of insects belonging to four phylogenetically distinct orders: grasshoppers, cockroaches, flies and moth larvae. It has been shown that the insect sodium channels: (1) Are recognized by the previously described (Gordon et al. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 7032-7038) site directed antibodies corresponding to a highly conserved segment linking the homologous domains III and IV in the vertebrate sodium channel alpha subunits. (2) Serve as substrates for phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. (3) Are devoid of disulfide linkage to smaller subunits unlike sodium channels in vertebrate brain. (4) Are glycoproteins as shown in the grasshopper by the decrease of apparent molecular weight following endoglycosidase F treatment and specific binding to the lectins concanavalin A and wheat germ agglutinin. (5) Reveal a diversity with regard to their (a) apparent molecular masses which range from 240 to 280 kDa and (b) V8 proteinase digestion phosphopeptides indicating either differences in the positioning of the enzymatic cleavage and/or phosphorylation sites. These results provide the first evidence for structural diversity of sodium channel subtypes among various insect orders and are compared to their mammalian counterparts.

We have studied cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of sodium channels in rat brain neurons maintained in primary culture. In back phosphorylation studies, cells were treated with drugs to increase intracellular cAMP and sodium channels were solubilized and isolated by immunoprecipitation. Surface and intracellular pools of sodium channels were isolated separately. Purified channels were then phosphorylated with [gamma-32P]ATP by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase to incorporate 32P into available cAMP-dependent phosphorylation sites. The amount of 32P incorporated in vitro is inversely proportional to the extent of endogenous phosphorylation. Incubation of cells with forskolin (0.1-100 microM), 8-Br-cAMP (0.1-10 mM), or isobutylmethylxanthine (0.01-1.0 mM) inhibited subsequent incorporation of 32P into isolated sodium channels by 70-80%, indicating that treatment of cells with these drugs had increased endogenous phosphorylation to nearly maximum levels. The phosphopeptides phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro were identical. To examine the magnitude of basal phosphorylation and the extent of stimulated phosphorylation, the amount of 32P incorporated into sodium channels from control and stimulated cells was compared to that from matched samples which had been dephosphorylated with calcineurin. Sodium channels from control cells incorporated approximately 2-fold more 32P after dephosphorylation, indicating that cAMP-dependent sites on the channel are at least 47% phosphorylated in the basal state. Sodium channels from forskolin-treated cells incorporated 7-8-fold more 32P after dephosphorylation, indicating that cAMP-dependent phosphorylation sites are 80-90% phosphorylated after stimulation. Cell surface and intracellular pools of sodium channels were phosphorylated similarly. In cells metabolically labeled with 32P, cell surface sodium channels incorporated 2.7 mol of phosphate/mol of channel. Forskolin stimulated 32P incorporation into sodium channels 1.3-fold, consistent with the results obtained by back phosphorylation. We conclude that the rat brain sodium channel is substantially phosphorylated in both the cell surface and intracellular pools in vivo in unstimulated rat brain neurons, and the extent of phosphorylation is increased to 80-90% of maximum phosphorylation by agents that elevate intracellular cAMP.

Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalyzes the incorporation of 3-4 mol of phosphate into the alpha subunit of rat brain sodium channels in vitro or in situ. Digestion of phosphorylated sodium channels with CNBr yielded three major phosphorylated fragments of 25, 31, and 33 kDa. These fragments were specifically immunoprecipitated with site-directed antisera establishing their location within an intracellular loop between the first and second homologous domains containing residues 448 to 630 of sodium channel RI or residues 450-639 of sodium channel RII. Five of the seven major tryptic phosphopeptides generated from intact sodium channel alpha subunits were contained in each of the 25-, 31-, and 33-kDa CNBr fragments, indicating that most cAMP-dependent phosphorylation sites are in this domain. Since CNBr digestion of sodium channels which had been metabolically labeled with 32P in intact neurons yielded the same phosphorylated fragments, the phosphorylated region we have identified is the major location of phosphorylation in situ. Only serine residues were phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro, while approximately 16% of the phosphorylation in intact neurons was on threonine residues that must lie outside the domain we have identified. Since this domain is phosphorylated in intact neurons, our results show that it is located on the intracellular side of the plasma membrane. These results are considered with respect to models for the transmembrane orientation of the alpha subunit.
