Oncornaviruses, which contain a virion-associated protein kinase, were found to possess phosphoproteins as virion structural components. One major phosphoprotein common to strains of laboratory and wild mouse oncornaviruses and a strain of feline leukemia virus was shown to be a polypeptide of about 12, 000 mol wt. In addition to this, the Kirsten strain of murine sarcoma virus contained a second major phosphoprotein of about 10, 000 mol wt, and mouse erythroblastosis virus contained a second major phosphoprotein that was either identical to or comigrated with the virion glycoprotein of about 74, 000 mol wt. The major phosphoprotein of RD-114 virus was found to be of about 16, 000 mol wt. The major phosphoamino acid of the 12, 000-mol wt polypeptide of the mouse erythroblastosis virus was identified as phosphoserine, and that of the 16, 000-mol wt polypeptide of the RD-114 virus was identified as phosphothreonine.

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.

32P phosphorylation of plasma membranes from human blood platelets, under conditions that closely resemble physiological ones (endogeneous phosphate donors and intact platelets in homologous plasma), result in the incorporation of the label mainly in a membrane glycoprotein of apparently high molecular weight (greater than 400 000). Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, an inhibitor of platelet aggregation, specifically increases the degree of phosphorylation of this glycoprotein. Moreover, it has been found that prostaglandin E1 one of the most potent inhibitors of platelet aggregation which also increases phosphorylation of the same glycoprotein, is significantly more effective than cyclic AMP. Cyclic GMP does not have any apparent effect on platelet aggregation. However, incubation of platelet-rich plasma with both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP results in a partial recovery of the platelet responsiveness towards ADP-induced aggregation. Coincidently, the degree of phosphorylation of the high molecular weight glycoprotein under these conditions, although still higher than in controls (no nucleotides added), is significantly decreased as compared with cyclic AMP-treated cells. Furthermore, cyclic GMP inhibits the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in isolated platelet plasma membranes. These results suggest a central role for this membrane phosphoglycoprotein in the triggering of platelet aggregation and, furthermore, suggest that modulation of its degree of phosphorylation may be exerted through some cyclic AMP/cyclic GMP relationship, which in the basal state might be critical for platelet responsiveness.

Highly purified Sendai virus contained a protein kinase activity which atatlysed the phosphorylation of endogenous polypeptides or exogenous protamine sulphate. The virus contained very low levels of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. Polyacrylamide gel analysis of the reaction product indicated that the phosphorylation was specific for certain polypeptides and varied according to whether the virus was grown in eggs or in tissue culture. This variation was partially associated with the difference in the polypeptide pattern that occurred when the virus was grown in eggs or in tissue culture. Characterization of these phosphoproteins demonstrated that the phosphate was incorporated predominantly in a phosphoester linkage with theonine residues. Using a detergent and high salt solubilization procedure, the protein kinase activity was found associated within glycoprotein free virus particles but not with the nucleocapsid-associated polypeptides. In vivo phosphorylation occurred when Sendai virus was grown in eggs or in tissue culture with [32P] and the phosphorylated polypeptides were similar to those of the protein kinase reaction product. Phosphorylation could also be detected in the infected cell and could occur once the virus particle polypeptides were being synthesized. The non-structural polypeptides were not phosphorylated.

A fraction of erythrocyte Band 3 (Mr, 93,000) glycoprotein that demonstrates decreased autophosphorylation in membranes from myotonic muscular dystrophy patients is demonstrated. Sequential affinity chromatography of Triton X-100 solubilized erythrocyte membrane proteins separated three specifically retained glycoprotein fractions on a Ricin Communis I-Sepharose 4B column. One fraction contains a portion of the major sialoglycoprotein (apparent Mr, 78,000) and is specifically eluted from the column by 10 mM NaCl and 100 mM D-galactose (10/100). The two other glycoprotein fractions are eluted by 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM D-galactose (100/10) and 100 mM NaCl, 100 mM D-galactose (100/100). The composition of both fractions contains greater than 95% Band 3 (apparent Mr, 93,000 glycoprotein. The quantities of glycoprotein in each fraction obtained from erythrocytes of myotonic dystrophy patients did not differ from the quantities obtained from control erythrocytes. Following endogenous protein kinase incubations of ghosts with [gamma-32P]ATP, the specific [32P] phosphorylation of the 10/100 and 100/10 fractions are identical. The 100/100 fraction, which makes up approximately 3% of the total erythrocyte membrane protein, demonstrates a different pattern for myotonic dystrophy patients; specific phosphorylation was reduced by 50% relative to activity in control experiments. These findings are consistent with previous experiments that demonstrated decreased autophosphorylation of the glycoprotein portion of Band 3 (Roses & Appel, 1975, J. Membrane Biol 20:51) and are consistent with the autosomal dominant mode of inheritance in this disease.

Myelin isolated from the rat peripheral nervous system (sciatic nerve and cauda equina) contained Mg2+-dependent protein kinase that phosphorylated myelin polypeptides. Ca2+, in micromolar concentrations, markedly stimulated phosphorylation (half-maximal stimulation at 5 microM (free) Ca2+) but at higher concentrations (greater than 100 microM Ca2+) it caused inhibition. In the presence of Triton X-100, phosphorylation (+/-Ca2+) of myelin was increased and Ca2+ caused up to a 10-fold increase in phosphorylation. Among the myelin polypeptides, P0 (Mr, 28 000), a major glycoprotein, accounted for nearly 60% of the total phosphate incorporated into the myelin and Ca2+ markedly promoted phosphorylation of P0. Phosphorylation of other myelin polypeptides, P2 (Mr, 16 000), Y (Mr, 26 000), and P1 (Mr, 20 000), and the Ca2+-stimulatory effect on phosphorylation of these were also evident. Cyclic AMP (or other cyclic nucleotides) failed to show any significant stimulatory effect on myelin phosphorylation.

The association of an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity with virions of pike fry rhabdovirus has been demonstrated by both in vitro and in vivo studies. The temperature optimum for the in vitro assay is around 20 C, although enzyme activity can be observed at 4 C. Preparations of pike fry virus possess a glycoprotein, a membrane protein, a nucleoprotein, an L protein, and a phosphoprotein, as well as an RNA of about 3.8 times 10-6 mol wt. A protein kinase activity has been found associated with virus preparations. In vitro RNA product analyses indicate that the virus-associated enzyme functions principally as a transcriptase synthesizing viral-complementary, heteropolymeric RNA.

Crosslinking of surface-exposed domains on certain Chlamydomonas flagellar membrane glycoproteins induces their movement within the plane of the flagellar membrane. Previous work has shown that these membrane glycoprotein movements are dependent on a critical concentration of free calcium in the medium and are inhibited reversibly by calcium channel blockers and the protein kinase inhibitors H-7, H-8, and staurosporine. These observations suggest that the flagellum may use a signaling pathway that involves calcium-activated protein phosphorylation to initiate flagellar membrane glycoprotein movements. In order to pursue this hypothesis, we examined the calcium dependence of phosphorylation of flagellar membrane-matrix proteins using an in vitro system containing [gamma-32P]ATP or [35S]ATP gamma S. Using only endogenous enzymes and endogenous substrates found in the membrane-matrix fraction obtained by extraction of flagella with 0.05% Nonidet P-40, we observed both calcium-independent protein phosphorylation and calcium-dependent protein phosphorylation in addition to an active protein dephosphorylation activity. Addition of micromolar free calcium increased the amount of protein phosphorylation severalfold. Calcium-activated protein kinase activity was inhibited by H-7, H-8, and staurosporine, the same protein kinase inhibitors that inhibit the calcium-dependent glycoprotein redistribution in vivo. A small group of polypeptides in the 26-58 kDa range exhibited a dramatic increase in phosphorylation in the presence of 20 microM free calcium. We suggest that Chlamydomonas utilizes the intraflagellar free calcium concentration to regulate the phosphorylation of specific flagellar proteins in the membrane-matrix fraction, one or more of which may be involved in regulating the machinery responsible for flagellar membrane glycoprotein redistribution.

The varicella-zoster virus (VZV) genome contains 70 reading frames (ORF), 5 of which encode the glycoproteins gpI, gpII, gpIII, gpIV, and gpV. ORF 67 and 68 lie adjacent to each other in the unique short region of the VZV genome and code for gpIV and gpI, respectively. These two genes, which are contained within the HindIII C fragment of the VZV genome, were subcloned in the correct orientation downstream from the promoter regions of the eukaryotic expression vectors pCMV5 and pBJ. After transfection, 5 to 20% of the Cos cells bound antibody specific for the given glycoprotein. In this study, it was shown that only the cells transfected with the gpI construct bound to the Fc fragment of human immunoglobulin G. Neither the transfected gpIV gene product nor the vector only bound to the Fc fragment. Thus, VZV gpI is confirmed to be the VZV-encoded Fc-binding glycoprotein. Like the wild-type form of gpI expressed in VZV-infected cells, gpI precipitated from transfected cells contained both N-linked and O-linked glycans and was heavily sialated. In addition, the transfected gpI gene product was phosphorylated both in cell culture and in protein kinase assays by mammalian casein kinases I and II. Extensive computer-assisted analyses of the VZV gpI sequence, as well as those of alphaherpesviral homolog glycoproteins, disclosed properties similar to those of other cell surface receptors; these included (i) exocytoplasmic regions rich in cysteine residues, (ii) membrane-proximal regions with potential O-linked glycosylation sites, and (iii) cytoplasmic domains with consensus phosphorylation sites.

Concanavalin A-binding glycoprotein with 250 K M(r) found in the postsynaptic density (PSD)-enriched preparation (or synaptic cytoskeleton) from rat cerebellum was identified with P400 protein from the physicochemical properties and enrichment in the cerebellum. Proteins homologous to the cerebellar 250 K M(r) protein occurred in the PSD-enriched preparations from rat cerebral cortex and from hippocampus, although the contents in the preparations were very low. The 250 K M(r) proteins in the PSD-enriched preparations from cerebellum and from cerebrum were highly phosphorylated by Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II. The protein of synaptic plasma membrane (SPM) and PSD-enriched fractions prepared from cerebral cortex were not phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase endogenous to the fractions, whereas the protein from cerebellum was done in SPM and PSD-enriched fractions. The facts suggest that P400 or P400-like protein is closely associated with Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase II in the PSD-enriched preparations, especially in the preparation from cerebral cortex. Phosphorylation of the protein by Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase II may play an important role in the postsynaptic function in both cerebellum and at least in some areas of cerebrum.
