Cross-linking of surface exposed domains on certain Chlamydomonas flagellar membrane glycoproteins induces their movement within the plane of the flagellar membrane. A number of observations suggest that active movements of flagellar membrane glycoproteins are associated with the processes of whole cell gliding motility and the early events of fertilization in Chlamydomonas. Protein redistribution is totally inhibited if the free calcium concentration in the medium is 10(-7) M or below or in the presence of a number of calcium channel blockers (Bloodgood, R. A., N. L. Salomonsky, J. Cell Sci. 96, 27-33 (1990]. The present report demonstrates that glycoprotein redistribution in vivo is inhibited reversibly by three different protein kinase inhibitors: H-7, H-8 and staurosporine. Taken together, these observations suggest that the flagellum uses a signaling pathway that involves calcium influx induced by glycoprotein cross-linking, calcium activation of a protein kinase and specific protein phosphorylation to initiate flagellar surface dynamics.

Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to the major sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins of rabbit skeletal and canine cardiac muscle have been used to identify and characterize the corresponding components of human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. The Ca2(+)-transporting ATPase of human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum was identified as a 105,000-Da protein antigenically distinct from its rabbit skeletal muscle counterpart. Human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum also contained 53,000- 155,000- and 165,000-Da glycoproteins antigenically related to the low and high molecular weight glycoproteins of canine cardiac and rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. The ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ channel of human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum was identified as a 400,000-Da protein antigenically related to its counterparts in canine cardiac and rabbit skeletal muscle. Human cardiac calsequestrin was identified as a 52,000-Da protein. Human phospholamban was identified as a 29,000-Da substrate for phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Immunoblots of sarcoplasmic reticulum from the normal left ventricles of four unmatched organ donors and the excised failing left ventricles of nine patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy were compared in search of qualitative differences in the protein patterns of the failing hearts. No such differences were found with respect to the Ca2+ ATPase, the 53,000-Da glycoprotein, the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ channel, calsequestrin or phospholamban. In contrast, the 165,000-Da glycoprotein band, present in all four preparations from nonfailing hearts, was absent from three of nine preparations from failing hearts, and staining of the 155,000-Da glycoprotein in these three preparations appeared to be relatively increased. The absence of the 165,000-Da glycoprotein band may identify or reflect a pathogenetic mechanism in a subset of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

We have examined the binding of factors in rat liver nuclear extracts to the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene cyclic AMP (cAMP) response element (CRE) and other CREs and have isolated a rat liver CRE-binding protein (CREBP) cDNA. In addition, we have examined the influence of altering the phosphorylation state of nuclear factors on both CRE binding and in vitro transcription. Specific binding to the PEPCK CRE was measured in a mobility shift assay. CRE sequences of the PEPCK, somatostatin, and glycoprotein hormone alpha subunit genes competed equally for binding of rat liver nuclear factors to the PEPCK CRE, whereas mutant PEPCK CRE sequences did not compete for binding. Oligonucleotides complementary to rat pheochromocytoma CREBP (Gonzalez et al., Nature [London] 337:749-752, 1989) were used to prime rat liver and brain cDNA in the polymerase chain reaction. The predominant CREBP molecule obtained was identical to the rat pheochromocytoma CREBP except for a 14-amino-acid deletion in the N-terminal half that was also present in a human placental cDNA (Hoeffler et al., Science 242:1430-1433, 1988). The regulation of transcription by cAMP was examined by coincubation of rat liver nuclear extract with the purified catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A). Although binding to the CRE was unaffected, in vitro transcription directed by the PEPCK promoter was stimulated by catalytic subunit, and this effect was blocked by protein kinase inhibitor peptide. In contrast, when nuclear extract was coincubated with phosphatase, there was substantial inhibition of in vitro transcription directed by the PEPCK promoter, but there was no effect on binding to the CRE. The major effects of catalytic subunit were exerted through the CRE, but residual stimulation was evident in promoter fragments containing only the TATA element. These data suggest that factors are bound to the CRE at constitutively high levels and that their capacity for transcriptional activation is regulated by phosphorylation.

Junctional transverse tubules (TT) isolated from triads of rabbit skeletal muscle by centrifugation in an ion-free sucrose gradient were compared with membrane subfractions, predominantly derived from the free portion of TT, that had been purified from sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane contaminants by three different methods. The markers used were diagnostic membrane markers and the dihydropyridine (DHP) receptor, which is a specific marker of the junctional membrane of TT. Junctional TT have a high membrane density (Bmax. 60 pmol/mg of protein) of high-affinity (Kd 0.25 nM) DHP-binding sites using [3H]PN200-110 as the specific ligand. When analysed by SDS/PAGE under reducing conditions and by Western blot techniques, the TT were found to contain a concanavalin A-binding 150 kDa glycoprotein which probably corresponds to the alpha 2-subunit of the DHP receptor. This conclusion was supported by correlative immunoblot experiments with a specific antibody. Junctional TT are further distinguished from free TT by the presence of a high number (Bmax. 20 pmol/mg of protein) of [3H]cyclic AMP receptor sites, as determined by the Millipore filtration technique of Gill & Walton [(1974) Methods Enzymol. 38, 376-381]. Use of this method means that the number of receptors may have been underestimated. The TT-bound cyclic AMP receptor was identified as a 55 kDa protein by specific photoaffinity labelling with 8-N3-[3H]cyclic AMP, and had similar phosphorylation properties and apparent molecular mass to the RII form of the regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Co-localization of the intrinsic cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and of the DHP receptor complex to the junctional membrane of TT supports the hypothesis that the 170 kDa alpha 1-subunit of the receptor is a substrate for the kinase.

Stimulation of the gastric parietal cell requires massive membrane transformations as H(+)-pumps from the domain of cytoplasmic tubulovesicles are recruited into the apical plasma membrane domain. The recycling of membrane pools, through fusion and fission processes that accompany stimulation and inhibition of HCl secretion, also involves highly selective events of protein incorporation and segregation. This manuscript describes several proteins that have been identified with the apical plasma membrane from maximally stimulated parietal cells, and broadly characterizes them either as permanent resident proteins of the apical membrane, or transient proteins that move into and out of the apical membrane as the cell progresses through the secretory cycle. A typical example of transient association with the apical membrane concerns the pump proteins, including the 94 kDa catalytic alpha-subunit of the H+K(+)-ATPase and its newly discovered beta-subunit glycoprotein, which move between tubulovesicles. Proteins that remain associated with the apical plasma membrane during rest and secretion include actin, and an 80-kDa phosphoprotein, which has been variously called 80 K, ezrin, p81 and cytovillin, and whose phosphorylation is increased by the histamine/cAMP pathway of parietal cell stimulation. An example of a cytosolic protein that becomes associated with the apical plasma membrane after stimulation is a 120-kDa protein, which appears to have protein kinase activity. Note that the identification, localization and characterization of the K+ and Cl- transport proteins, which participate in net HCl secretion, are of immediate importance.

A systematic study of protein kinase activity and phosphorylation of membrane proteins by ATP was carried out with vesicular fragments of longitudinal tubules (light SR) and junctional terminal cisternae (JTC) derived from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Following incubation of JTC with ATP, a 170,000-Da glycoprotein, a 97,500-Da protein (glycogen phosphorylase), and a 55,000-60,000-Da doublet (containing calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subunit) underwent phosphorylation. Addition of calmodulin in the presence of Ca2+ (with no added protein kinase) produced a 10-fold increase of phosphorylation involving numerous JTC proteins, including the large (approximately 450,000 Da) ryanodine receptor protein. Calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor protein was unambiguously demonstrated by Western blot analysis. The specificity of these findings was demonstrated by much lower levels of calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation in light SR as compared to JTC, and by much lower cyclic AMP dependent kinase activity in both JTC and light SR. These observations indicate that the purified JTC contain membrane-bound calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that undergoes autophosphorylation and catalyzes phosphorylation of various membrane proteins. Protein dephosphorylation was very slow in the absence of added phosphatases, but was accelerated by the addition of phosphatase 1 and 2A (catalytic subunit) in the absence of Ca2+, and calcineurin in the presence of Ca2+. Therefore, in the muscle fiber, dephosphorylation of SR proteins relies on cytoplasmic phosphatases. No significant effect of protein phosphorylation was detected on the Ca2(+)-induced Ca2+ release exhibited by isolated JTC vesicles. However, the selective and prominent association of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and related substrates with junctional membranes, its Ca2+ sensitivity, and its close proximity to the ryanodine and dihydropyridine receptor Ca2+ channels suggest that this phosphorylation system is involved in regulation of functions linked to these structures.

We have cloned and determined the nucleotide sequence of a gene, pk, that lies immediately upstream from the gene encoding glycoprotein X in the short unique region of the alphaherpesvirus, pseudorabies virus (PRV). The gene has the potential to encode a protein of 334 amino acids, and is related to gene US3 of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which has been shown to encode a protein kinase. The predicted amino acid sequence encoded by the PRV pk gene is homologous to the corresponding sequence encoded by the HSV-1 US3 gene in the C-terminal catalytic domain, but diverges markedly in the N-terminal domain. As with HSV-1, the mRNA for the pk gene appears to be 3' coterminal with that for the glycoprotein downstream. An antiserum was raised against a protein generated from the fusion of part of the PRV pk catalytic domain with Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase. This specifically reacted with a previously described physically homogeneous protein kinase, PRV-PK, isolated from hamster fibroblasts lytically infected with PRV. Although the majority of the PRV-PK is found in the cytoplasm, some was also detected in purified PRV virions by using the same antibody; a similar distribution was found for the HSV-1 protein kinase, using an antiserum raised against the corresponding HSV-1 fusion protein. When presented with heatinactivated virions, purified PRV-PK (in common with certain cellular protein kinases also present in the virion) was able to phosphorylate in vitro the major virion phosphoprotein phosphorylated in vivo.

Acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) receptor was purified from plasma membranes of bovine liver using Triton X-100 extraction, wheat germ lectin-Sepharose 4B gel affinity chromatography, and DEAE-cellulose anion-exchange chromatography. As previously reported for the aFGF receptor in murine fibroblasts (Huang, S. S., and Huang, J. S. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 9568-9571), the purified aFGF receptor was also found to be a 135-kDa glycoprotein which showed an intrinsic and ligand-stimulated autophosphorylation activity. The 32P-labeled aFGF receptor was specifically immunoprecipitated by anti-FGF receptor (anti-flg/bek/cek gene product) antiserum. In contrast to other growth factor receptors/protein tyrosine kinases, the protein tyrosine kinase activity (autophosphorylation) of the aFGF receptor was stimulated (approximately 1.5-fold) by low concentrations of Mn2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ (optimal concentrations of approximately 0.1, approximately 0.1, and 1 microM, respectively) but inhibited by higher concentrations of Mn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and pyrophosphate (greater than or equal to 20, greater than or equal to 50, greater than or equal to 10, and greater than or equal to 100 microM, respectively). However, addition of Mn2+ and pyrophosphate at a ratio of 1:1 not only reversed the inhibitory effect but also enhanced the kinase activity about 3-4-fold. The apparent Km of ATP for intrinsic and ligand-stimulated protein kinase activity of the aFGF receptor was estimated to be 25 microM. The preferred exogenous substrates for the protein tyrosine kinase activity of the aFGF receptor were found to be myelin basic protein and histone. Poly-L-arginine, an inhibitor for aFGF binding to the receptor, appeared to stimulate the mitogenesis or cell growth of responsive cells by mimicking aFGF activity.

The rate of transcription of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor gene is increased in response to beta-adrenergic agonist stimulation of the receptor at the cell surface. This effect is mediated by stimulation of adenylyl cyclase and elevation of intracellular cAMP levels. We have previously shown that this responsiveness to cAMP resides in the 5'-flanking region of the human beta 2-adrenergic receptor gene (Collins, S., Bouvier, M., Bolanowski, M. A., Caron, M. G., and Lefkowitz, R. J. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 86, 4853-4857). A 34-base pair sequence derived from the beta 2-adrenergic receptor promoter region (-70 to -37 base pairs), containing the sequence GTACGTCA, confers responsiveness to cAMP when present in either orientation 5' to the thymidine kinase promoter on the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene. Overexpression of the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A fully substituted for forskolin in inducing expression through this sequence, indicating that the cAMP induction is mediated through this kinase. Mutations within the GTACGTCA sequence completely abolished the stimulation. A 43-kDa transcription factor (cAMP response element-binding protein) confers cAMP responsiveness through binding to specific sequences. In gel mobility shift assays, purified cAMP response element-binding protein bound to the 34-base pair oligonucleotide from the beta 2-adrenergic receptor gene with an affinity similar to that for the well-characterized cAMP response element from the human glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit gene, and failed to bind to mutated elements. Thus, positive autoregulation of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor gene appears to occur through receptor-mediated stimulation of adenylyl cyclase, with consequent activation of cAMP response element-binding protein and stimulation of beta 2-adrenergic receptor gene transcription. These results demonstrate a novel mechanism by which a receptor (beta 2-adrenergic receptor) stimulatory for adenylyl cyclase can exert positive feedback regulation on its own expression.

Studies of in vitro models demonstrate that a forward motility protein (FMP) is required for the initiation of forward motility in the immature epididymal spermatozoa. FMP is a heat-stable glycoprotein derived from epididymal plasma. During the epididymal maturation of spermatozoa in vivo, there is a marked increase of intrasperm pH and level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Several studies suggest that exogenous FMP in concert with elevated intrasperm pH and level of cAMP initiates flagellar motility during the epididymal transit of sperm. cAMP activates sperm cytosolic cAMP-dependent protein kinases, which in turn phosphorylate multiple intrasperm phosphoproteins that may regulate flagellar motility. Exogenous calcium ion activates intact sperm motility, although it inhibits motility of demembranated cells on reactivation. Occurrence of cAMP-dependent type I and II protein kinases, a novel cAMP-independent protein kinase, and a phosphoprotein phosphatase has been demonstrated on the external surface of spermatozoa. The sperm surface has a coupled-enzyme system: ecto-cAMP-independent protein kinase and phosphoprotein phosphatase that regulate the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of endogenous sperm ectophosphoproteins. The specific activities of these ecto-enzymes increase markedly during forward progression, suggesting that they may have a role in regulating flagellar motility.
