Neoplastic transformation of cell by avian sarcoma virus is mediated by a single viral gene (src), which encodes a phosphoprotein (pp60src) with the enzymatic activity of a protein kinase. The DNAs of vertebrate species contain a highly conserved homologue of src that is also represented in the polysomal RNA of uninfected cells and, hence, may specify a normal cellular protein. We have used antisera directed against pp60src to isolate a closely related phosphoprotein (denoted vertebrate pp60) from uninfected chicken, quail, rat, and human cells. Our data indicate that vertebrate pp60 is a homologue of pp60src, highly conserved both antigenically and chemically. Moreover, the cellular protein may possess protein kinase activity similar to that associated with pp60src. We conclude that the product of src is a slightly modified analogue of a normal cellular protein.

Angiotensin II, catecholamines, and vasopressin are thought to stimulate hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis via a cyclic AMP-independent mechanism that requires calcium ion. The present study explores the possibility that angiotensin II and vasopressin control the activity of regulatory enzymes in carbohydrate metabolism through Ca2+-dependent changes in their state of phosphorylation. Intact hepatocytes labeled with [32P]PO43- were stimulated with angiotensin II, glucagon, or vasopressin and 30 to 33 phosphorylated proteins resolved from the cytoplasmic fraction of the cell by electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide slab gels. Treatment of the cells with angiotensin II or vasopressin increased the phosphorylation of 10 to 12 of these cytosolic proteins without causing measurable changes in cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Glucagon stimulated the phosphorylation of the same set of 11 to 12 proteins through a marked increase in cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity. The molecular weights of three of the protein bands whose phosphorylation was increased by these hormones correspond to the subunit molecular weights of phosphorylase (Mr = 93,000), glycogen synthase (Mr = 85,000), and pyruvate kinase (Mr = 61,000). Two of these phosphoprotein bands were positively identified as phosphorylase and pyruvate kinase by affinity chromatography and immunoprecipitation, respectively. Incubation of hepatocytes in a Ca2+-free medium completely abolished the effects of angiotensin II and vasopressin on protein phosphorylation but did not alter those of glucagon. Treatment of hepatocytes with angiotensin II, glucagon, or vasopressin stimulated phosphorylase activity by 250 to 260%, inhibited glycogen synthase activity by 50%, and inhibited pyruvate kinase activity by 30 to 35% (peptides) to 70% (glucagon). The effects of angiotensin II and vasopressin on the activity of all three enzymes were completely abolished if the cells were incubated in a Ca2+-free medium while those of glucagon were not altered. The results imply that angiotensin II, catecholamines, and vasopressin control hepatic carbohydrate metabolism through a Ca2+-requiring, cyclic AMP-independent pathway that leads to the phosphorylation of important regulatory enzymes.

Studies on the gonadotrophin-responsive adenylyl cyclase (AC) system of rabbit and porcine ovarian follicles reveal that hCG or LH-induced desensitization of the AC system can be divided into two phases: an initial, LH-specific phase and a second phase which is not specific for LH. The first phase occurs within the first hour after LH-hCG-receptor interaction, is agonist specific, and is not mediated by protein synthetic events or by cAMP. In view of our previous demonstration of the critical dependence of the LH-induced desensitizing process in cell-free membrane preparations of porcine follicles upon Mg2+ and ATP, we investigated the role of a phosphorylation reaction in the first phase of the AC desensitizing process. Porcine follicular membranes rich in LH-sensitive AC activity were found to contain the molecular requirements necessary for a phosphorylation reaction: namely, cAMP-dependent and cAMP-independent protein kinases as well as phosphoprotein phosphatases. The following lines of indirect evidence indicated that reversal or resensitization of the desenzitized AC system to LH was mediated by a dephosphorylation reaction. Activators of endogenous phosphoprotein phosphatases--Mn2+ and dithiothreitol--promoted a specific resensitization of the follicular AC system to LH. Likewise, a partially purified phosphoprotein phosphatase also resensitized the desensitized, LH unresponsive AC to LH, and boiling of the phosphatase prevented its effect. LH-induced desensitization of the AC system, on the other hand, did not appear to be mediated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase, as evidenced both by the inability of beef heart protein to promote desensitization of AC and by the inability of an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase to prevent LH-induced densensitization. The second phase of desensitization, which occurs after the first hour following hCG-LH-receptor interaction, is characterized by a loss of responsiveness to FSH as well as to LH and can be promoted by dibutryl cAMP (in the absence of LH). These results provide new evidence on the characteristics and molecular mechanism of LH-induced densensitization of the follicular AC system. These results indicate that the level of phosphorylation of membrane-associated components may, in part, regulate the activity of the AC system during this first phase of homologous desensitization.

This report extends our previous studies concerning the identification and characterization of a protein from normal cells that is closely related to the avian sarcoma virus (ASV) transforming gene product pp60src. This normal cellular protein, which we have found in both avian and mammalian cells and have tentatively designated pp60sarc, was detected by immunoprecipitation of radiolabeled cell extracts with serum derived from both mice and rabbits bearing ASV-induced tumors. The normal cell pp60sarc is a 60,000-dalton phosphoprotein that is structurally similar, but not identical, to viral pp60src. The phosphorylation patterns of the normal cell and viral proteins are also similar: both contain two major phosphorylated residues, a phosphoserine located on the NH2-terminal 60% of the polypeptide and a phosphothreonine present on the COOH-terminal 40% of the molecule. In addition, the normal cell pp60sarc from both chicken and mammalian cells appears to have an associated protein kinase activity analogous to that previously described for the viral pp60src. The possible roles played by the normal cell protein pp60sarc and the ASV transforming protein pp60src in normal cellular growth and neoplastic disease, respectively, are discussed.

The T antigens of polyoma virus have been examined for phosphorylation in vivo and associated protein kinase activities in vitro. The 100K "large" T antigen is the major phosphoprotein among the T antigen species in vivo as determined by labeling virus-infected cells with 32P-orthophosphate. Hr-t mutants show normal phosphorylation of their 100K T antigens. The wild-type 56K plasma membrane-associated "middle" T antigen is also phosphorylated in the cell, but to a lesser extent than the 100K; this low level phosphorylation is also observed in the presumably altered 56K protein induced by hr-t mutant NG59 and in the 50K truncated "middle" T of hr-t mutant SD15. Addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP to the medium does not affect labeling of either large or middle T antigens in wild-type- or mutant-infected cells. Thus no differences are observed in T antigen phosphorylation in vivo between wild-type virus and hr-t mutants. Hr-t mutants are defective in a protein kinase activity assayed in vitro by adding gamma-32P-ATP to T antigen immunoprecipitates. In the case of wild-type virus, the 56K protein is the major phosphate acceptor in the in vitro kinase reaction, with a somewhat lower level of phosphorylation observed in the 100K band. Hr-t mutants NG59 and SD15 show no labeling of the altered 56K or 50K, respectively, but do show detectable levels of 32P in the 100K bands. A wild-type virus carrying a small deletion affecting the 100K and 56k bands shows a normal level of kinase activity associated with the truncated T antigens. Ts-a mutants appear to be normal with respect to the middle T antigen-associated kinase. Photoaffinity labeling of infected cell extracts with 8-azido cyclic AMP shows that the two major classes of regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases are present in the immunoprecipitates. Phosphorylation of histone H1 occurs when this substrate is added to immunoprecipitates of either mock-infected or virus-infected cells, again demonstrating the presence of cellular kinases. Further experiments will be required to determine whether the middle T antigen of polyoma virus is itself a protein kinase or simply a substrate for one or more cellular kinases.

Cardiac microsomes were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and a cardiac adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase in the presence of ethylene glycol bis(bets-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid. After solubilization in sodium dodecyl sulfate and fractionation by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a single microsomal protein component of approximately 22,000 daltons was found to bind most of the 32P label. The 32P labeling of this component increased several fold when NaF was included in the incubation medium. No other component of cardiac microsomes, including sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase protein, contained significant amounts of 32P label. This 22,000-dalton phosphoprotein formed by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase had stability characteristics of a phosphoester rather than an acyl phosphate. Washing of microsomes with buffered KCl did not decrease the amount of 32P labeling to the 22,000-dalton protein, suggesting that this protein is associated with the membranes of sarcoplasmic reticulum rather than being a contaminant from other soluble proteins. The 22,000-dalton protein was susceptible to trypsin. Brief digestion with trypsin in the presence of 1 M sucrose did not significantly affect microsomal calcium transport activity, but prevented both subsequent phosphorylation of the 22,000-dalton protein and stimulation of calcium uptake by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, suggesting that this protein is a modulator of the calcium pump. These results are consistent with previous findings (Kirchberger, M.A., Tada, M., and Katz, A.M. (1974) J. Biol. Chem. 249, 6166-6173; Tada, M., Kirchberger, M.A., Repke, D.I., and Katz, A.M. (1974) J. Biol. Chem. 249, 6174-6180) that cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation is associated with stimulation of calcium transport in the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum, and further indicate that this phosphorylation occurs at a component of low mass (22,000 daltons) of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum which, while separable from the calcium transport ATPase protein (100,000 daltons) by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, has the ability to regulate calcium transport by the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) catalyzes the phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues of a number of proteins according to the following chemical equation: ATP + protein leads to phosphoprotein + ADP. The DEAE-cellulose peak II holoenzyme from bovine brain, which is composed of regulatory and catalytic subunits, is resistant to ethoxyformic anhydride inactivation. After adding cAMP, the protein kinase becomes susceptible to ethoxyformic anhydride inhibition. Ethoxyformic anhydride (2mM) inhibits the enzyme 50% (5 min, pH 6.5, 30 degrees) in the presence of 10 muM cAMP, but less than 5% in its absence. The substrate, Mg2+-ATP, protects against inactivation suggesting that inhibition is associated with modification of the active site. Addition of regulatory subunit or Mg2+-ATP to the isolated catalytic subunit also prevents ethoxyformic anhydride inactivation. These results suggest that the regulatory subunit shields the active site of the catalytic subunit thereby inhibiting it. In contrast to the bovine brain or muscle DEAE-cellulose peak II holoenzyme, the bovine muscle peak I holoenzyme is susceptible to ethoxyformic anhydride inactivation in the absence of cAMP.

Plasma membrane fractions I and II isolated from bovine corpus luteum contain phosphoprotein phosphatases. Enzyme activities associated with both membrane fractions showed pH optima in the neutral range and were most active with phosphoprotamine as the exogenous substrate. The enzyme activity was partially inhibited by Co2+, Zn2+ and Fe2+. Dithioerythritol, glutathione (reduced) and 2-mercaptoethanol stimulated the enzyme activity, whereas N-ethylmaleimide and N-phenylmaleimide were inhibitory. Similarly, various cyclic nucleotides and nuclsoside triphosphates also inhibited phosphoprotein phosphatase activities. The phosphatase activity was also observed with endogenous phosphorylated membrane proteins as substrate. The endogenous phosphorylation of membranes was rapid and attained a maximal level after 15--20 min of incubation. Initially endogenous dephosphorylation was also very rapid, but did not reach completion. In addition to phosphoprotein phosphatase, membrane preparations also possessed very active cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Phosphoprotein phosphatase activity from plasma membranes was solubilized by ionic and nonionic detergents. Optimal solubilization was achieved with 0.1% sodium deoxycholate. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation of deoxycholate-solubilized fraction I and fraction II membranes resolved phosphoprotein phosphatase activity into two species with apparent sedimentation coefficients of 6.7 S (Mr 130000) and 4.8 S (Mr 90000). Cyclic-AMPstimulated protein kinase activity sedimented as a broad peak with a sedimentation coefficient of 5.5 S (Mr 110000).

The phosphorylation of purified protein synthesis factors catalyzed by protein kinase preparations isolated from interferon-treated human amnion cells was examined. Ribosomal salt-wash fractions prepared from interferon-treated human cells contained a protein kinase that catalyzed the [gamma-(32)P]ATP-mediated phosphorylation of the 38,000-dalton subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2alpha); this kinase activity was significantly enhanced in interferon-treated as compared to untreated cells. The tryptic [(32)P]phosphopeptide pattern obtained for eIF-2alpha phosphorylated by the interferon-mediated human kinase was indistinguishable from the pattern obtained for eIF-2alpha phosphorylated by the hemin-regulated rabbit reticulocyte kinase when analyzed by thin-layer chromatography with three different solvent systems and by high-voltage electrophoresis. O-[(32)P]Phosphoserine was liberated by partial acid hydrolysis from eIF-2alpha phosphorylated by either the human or the rabbit kinase. In addition to the phosphorylation of eIF-2alpha, interferon treatment of human cells enhanced the phosphorylation of two additional ribosome-associated proteins designated P(1) and P(f). The major phosphoester linkage observed for the human, as well as murine, phosphoprotein P(1) was O-phosphoserine. The interferon-mediated phosphorylation of both eIF-2alpha and protein P(1) was dependent upon the presence of RNA with double-stranded character; P(f) phosphorylation was not affected by double-stranded RNA. These results suggest that the interferon-mediated ribosome-associated human protein kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of eIF-2alpha in a site-specific manner that is apparently identical with the reaction catalyzed by the hemin-regulated rabbit reticulocyte kinase; hence, the phosphorylation of eIF-2 may play a role in regulating the initiation of translation in interferon-treated cells.

When vaccinia-virus-infected cells were labeled with radioactive phosphate in the absence of viral gene expression an additional phosphoprotein, containing phosphoserine, was found specifically associated with the ribosomes. The phosphoprotein was removed from the ribosomes following a 0.5 M KCl washing or after EDTA treatment. This additional phosphoprotein was found in infected cells after either a long (3-4 h) or a short (30 min) labeling period; it was detected when the infected cells were incubated in the presence or absence of an inhibitor of RNA or protein synthesis. This phosphoprotein originated from the phosphorylation of vaccinia virion structural protein VP11b (Mr 11,000) at a specific site since only a single major phosphopeptide was obtained after trypsin digestion. This phosphoprotein was also present in purified vaccinia virions labeled with radioactive phosphate. VP11b protein was phosphorylated in vitro by the protein kinase associated with the cores. When the reaction was carried out at an alkaline pH the phosphorylation in vitro occurred at different sites in the protein; at neutral pH the phosphorylation of VP11b was more specific and, as judged by tryptic peptide analysis, occurred mainly at the same site as in the phosphorylation in vivo. A role for the involvement of phosphoprotein VP11b in the establishment of the shut off of host protein synthesis by vaccinia virus is suggested.
