The major phosphorylation site for both casein kinase-2 (CK2) and casein kinase-1 (CK1) in protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) inhibitor-2 (I-2) is Ser86. Minor phosphorylation sites affected by either CK2 or CK1 are Ser120/Ser121 and Ser174, respectively. A synthetic peptide of 25 amino acids encompassing residues 67-93 of I-2 is phosphorylated by either CK2 or CK1 at its seryl residue corresponding to Ser86 with higher Vmax and Km values similar to those of the intact protein (9 vs 7.2 microM and 14.2 vs 5.3 microM with CK2 and CK1, respectively). No detectable phosphorylation of this peptide which also includes the glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) site (Thr72), could be observed with either GSK-3 or p34cdc2 kinase whether or not its seryl residue equivalent to Ser86 had been previously phosphorylated by CK2. Shorter derivatives of I-2(67-93), encompassing residues 72-93 and 78-93, are also readily phosphorylated by both CK1 and CK2, with phosphorylation efficiencies similar to those of the parent peptide. A synthetic heptadecapeptide reproducing the phosphoacceptor site around Ser120/Ser121 is phosphorylated by CK2, but not to any detectable extent by CK1, with a Km value fivefold higher than that of the corresponding pentadecapeptide including Ser86 (78-93). A synthetic pentadecapeptide (166-180) reproducing the phosphoacceptor site around Ser174 is phosphorylated by CK1 less efficiently than the pentadecapeptide including its main phosphorylation site (78-93) (Km 280 microM vs 33 microM). This peptide is readily phosphorylated by CK2 as well, although it lacks the canonical consensus sequence for CK2 and its Ser174 is almost unaffected by CK2 in intact I-2. These data provide the clear-cut demonstration that the consensus sequence with N-terminal prephosphorylated residue(s), SerP/ThrP-Xaa-Xaa-Ser/Thr, [Flotow, H., Graves, P. R., Wang, A., Fiol, C. J., Roeske, R. W. & Roach, P. J. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 14264-14269; Meggio, F., Perich, J. W., Reynolds, E. C. & Pinna, L. A. (1991) FEBS Lett. 283, 303-306] is not always required to achieve efficient and high-affinity phosphorylation by CK1. They also show that the specificity determinants for I-2 phosphorylation by either CK2 or CK1, but not by GSK3, are entirely grounded on local structural features of the phosphoacceptor site, being only marginally affected by the overall structure of I-2.

Bovine thymus nuclei contain a species of protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1N alpha) that can be partially activated by phosphorylation of an associated inhibitory polypeptide, NIPP-1, with protein kinase A [Beullens, Van Eynde, Bollen and Stalmans (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 13172-13177]. Here it is shown that PP-1N alpha can also be activated 4-fold by phosphorylation of NIPP-1 with casein kinase-2. The effects of protein kinase A and casein kinase-2 were additive, yielding an enzyme with an activity close to that of the free catalytic subunit. Casein kinase-2 introduced up to 1.2 phosphate groups into purified NIPP-1 on serine and threonine residues. This phosphorylation was associated with a 14-fold increase in the concentration of NIPP-1 required for 50% inhibition of the type-1 catalytic subunit. The kinase-mediated inactivation of NIPP-1 could be reversed by incubation with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-2A.

In a human breast carcinoma-derived cell line engineered to contain a hormone-responsive luciferase reporter gene, manipulation of cell growth conditions or cellular signal transduction in a variety of ways can enhance or impair glucocorticoid-mediated induction of a target gene. Induction may be enhanced as much as 10-fold or inhibited 90% by different treatments. For example, two different inhibitors of protein phosphatase-1 and -2A potentiated the hormone-dependent induction of luciferase. Activation of protein kinase-A via addition of 8-bromo-cAMP or forskolin also potentiated the hormonal induction, whereas 8-bromo-cGMP was ineffective. In contrast, activating protein kinase-A by inhibiting cAMP turnover with the phosphodiesterase inhibitors isobutylmethylxanthine or Ro20-1724 inhibited the hormone response rather than potentiated it. The inhibitory activity of isobutylmethylxanthine was evident even when activators of protein kinase-A are administered simultaneously. Isobutylmethylxanthine must, therefore, activate a signal transduction pathway in addition to the protein kinase-A pathway. Activation of protein kinase-C potentiated the hormone response in a cell-specific manner. Treatment with epidermal growth factor and imposition of cell stress by heat shock or inhibition of protein synthesis also enhanced the glucocorticoid response. Thus, our results suggest an elaborate coupling of the steroid response pathway with other cellular signal transduction mechanisms that permits an additional layer of control to be imposed on hormone-mediated transcriptional responses. It is proposed that cell-specific phosphorylation events influence steroid receptor interaction with the basal transcription apparatus, thereby altering receptor-mediated induction mechanisms.

Microtubule-associated protein tau is abnormally hyperphosphorylated and forms the major protein subunit of paired helical filaments (PHF) in Alzheimer disease brains. The abnormally phosphorylated sites Ser-199, Ser-202, Ser-396 and Ser-404 but not Ser-46 and Ser-235 of Alzheimer tau were found to be dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase-1 and this dephosphorylation was activated by Mn2+. In contrast, protein phosphatase-2C did not dephosphorylate any of these sites. Both protein phosphatase-1 and -2C had high activities towards [32P]tau phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These results suggest that both protein phosphatase-1 and -2C might be associated with normal phosphorylation state of tau, but only the former and not the latter phosphatase is involved in its abnormal phosphorylation in Alzheimer disease.

Insulin, the well-known hypoglycemic hormone, mimics progesterone in promoting the resumption of meiosis within the oocyte of Xenopus laevis. Both hormones exert their action through the inhibition of protein kinases and the activation of protein phosphatases. Because glycogen synthase is an enzyme regulated by a kinases/phosphatases cascade, we investigated the effect of insulin and progesterone on the regulation of glycogen synthesis and glycogen synthase throughout the oogenesis of Xenopus laevis oocytes. In this framework the maximal activity of synthase "a" is concomitant with the vitellogenic period characterized by a drastic increase in the amount of glycogen. Oocyte glycogen synthase is inhibited by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation and stimulated by 20 mM Mg2+. The magnesium effect is inhibited by mu molar concentrations of okadaic acid and suggests that oocyte glycogen synthase is activated by dephosphorylation achieved by protein phosphatase-1. The okadaic acid effect is itself thwarted by the specific inhibitor of protein kinase A, confirming the role of this kinase in the regulation of glycogen synthase. Finally, working on intact ripe oocytes, we showed that insulin but not progesterone increases glycogen synthesis and glycogen synthase "a" activity and lowers the rates of phosphorylation, especially in the glycogen-bound proteins.

The specificity determinants for insulin-stimulated protein kinase-I (ISPK-1) have been investigated with synthetic peptides based on naturally-occurring protein phosphoacceptor sequences. Peptides (Arg-Arg-Xaa-Ser-Xaa) that fulfill the consensus sequence for cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-A) are also phosphorylated readily by ISPK-1. The phosphorylation efficiency is improved by increasing the number of N-terminal arginine residues and by moving the arginyl cluster one residue further away from the serine, the nonapeptide (Arg)4-Ala-Ala-Ser-Val-Ala being the best substrate among all the short peptides tested (Km = 15 microM). Conversely, the substitution of either Thr for Ser or Lys for Arg is detrimental. Likewise, two flanking Pro residues and an Arg immediately N-terminal to the Ser act as negative specificity determinants. While the specificity of ISPK-1 shows several similarities to that of PK-A, including an absolute requirement for basic residues on the N-terminal side of the target Ser, it differs in several other respects including (1), the detrimental effect of a Lys for Arg substitution which is still compatible with some phosphorylation by ISPK-1, but not PK-A; (2), the presence of C-terminal acidic residues which are tolerated very well by ISPK-1, but are detrimental to PK-A; (3), the effect of substituting Phe for Val in the peptide Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Val-Ala, which improves the efficiency of phosphorylation by PK-A (lowering the Km 4-fold), but has no effect on phosphorylation by ISPK-1. These differences in peptide substrate specificity may account in part for the different rates of phosphorylation of physiological substrates for ISPK-1 and PK-A, such as the G subunit of protein phosphatase-1.

We have recently purified two potent and specific inhibitory polypeptides of protein phosphatase-1 from the particulate fraction of bovine thymus nuclei (Beullens, M., Van Eynde, A., Stalmans, W., and Bollen, M. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 16538-16544). Here it is reported that these inhibitors, termed NIPP-1a (18 kDa) and NIPP-1b (16 kDa), are excellent substrates (Km = 0.1 microM) for phosphorylation by protein kinase A on both Ser and Thr residues. Phosphorylation was temporally closely related with an activation of NIPP-1. Maximal phosphorylation by protein kinase A (1.5 mol of phosphate/mol of NIPP-1) caused an 8-fold increase in the concentration of NIPP-1 required for half-complete inhibition of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-1, irrespective of the concentration of the phosphatase. Phosphorylation decreased the binding of NIPP-1 to immobilized protein phosphatase-1. NIPP-1 could be efficiently and completely reactivated by incubation with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-2A. The type-1 catalytic subunit was much less effective, however, even when present in a molar excess to NIPP-1. Chromatography of a salt extract of the particulate nuclear fraction of Mono Q revealed three species of PP-1. One of these species, termed PP-1N alpha, contained NIPP-1 as a subunit and could be activated 6-fold by incubation with protein kinase A under phosphorylating conditions. This activation of PP-1N alpha is opposite to the known inhibition of cytoplasmic species of protein phosphatase-1 by protein kinase A.

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proposed mediator of insulin resistance in obese/diabetic animals through its effects on tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and its substrate, insulin receptor substrate-1. In this study, the acute effects of TNF-alpha on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling cascade were examined in cultured rat skeletal muscle cell line, L6. Insulin treatment of L6 cells resulted in a rapid increase in MAPK activity (> twofold in 5 min with 10 nM insulin). Prior treatment with TNF-alpha for 60 min blocked subsequent insulin-induced activation of MAPK in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Metabolic labelling studies with inorganic [32P]phosphate followed by immuno-precipitation of MAPK and its upstream activator, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, indicated decreased phosphorylation of MAPK and its kinase in response to insulin in cells exposed to TNF-alpha. This effect of TNF-alpha was not due to inhibition of insulin-stimulated p21ras-GTP loading or Raf-1 phosphorylation. Low concentrations (2 nM) of okadaic acid, a serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor, prevented TNF-alpha-induced inhibition of MAPK and restored insulin's effect on MAPK activity, while orthovanadate (a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor), inhibitor 2 (phosphatase-1 inhibitor) and FK506 (phosphatase-2B inhibitor) were ineffective. These results suggested an involvement of an okadaic-acid-sensitive serine/threonine phosphatase in TNF-alpha-induced blockade of insulin's effect on MAPK and/or its kinase. Therefore, we examined the effect of TNF-alpha on protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) and protein phosphatase-2A (PP-2A) activities. As reported by us earlier, insulin rapidly stimulated PP-1 and concomitantly inhibited PP-2A activities in control cells. TNF-alpha treatment blocked insulin-induced activation of PP-1. In contrast to PP-1, TNF-alpha caused a 60% increase in PP-2A activity and insulin failed to prevent this TNF-alpha effect. The time course of PP-2A activation by TNF-alpha preceded the kinetics of inhibition of MAPK. Cell-permeable ceramide analogs mimicked the TNF-alpha effect on MAPK inhibition and PP-2A activation. We conclude that TNF-alpha abrogates the insulin effect on MAPK activation by increasing dephosphorylation of MAPK kinase via an activated phosphatase.

The specificity of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1c) is modified by regulatory subunits that target it to particular subcellular locations. Here, we identify PP1c-binding domains on GL and GM, the subunits that target PP1c to hepatic and muscle glycogen, respectively, and on M110, the subunit that targets PP1c to smooth muscle myosin. GM-(G63-T93) interacted with PP1c and prevented GL from suppressing the dephosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase, but it did not dissociate GL from PP1c or affect other characteristic properties of the PP1GL complex. These results indicate that GL contains two PP1c-binding sites, the region which suppresses the dephosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase being distinct from that which enhances the dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase. At higher concentrations, GM-(G63-N75) had the same effect as GM-(G63-T93), but not if Ser67 was phosphorylated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. Thus, phosphorylation of Ser67 dissociates GM from PP1c because phosphate is inserted into the PP1c-binding domain of GM. M110-(M1-E309) and M110-(M1-F38), but not M110-(D39-E309), mimicked the M110 subunit in stimulating dephosphorylation of the smooth muscle myosin P-light chain and heavy meromyosin in vitro. However, in contrast to the M110 subunit and M110-(M1-E309), neither M110-(M1-F38) nor M110-(D39-E309) suppressed the PP1c-catalysed dephosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase. These observations suggest that the region which stimulates the dephosphorylation of myosin is situated within the N-terminal 38 residues of the M110 subunit, while the region which suppresses the dephosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase requires the presence of at least part of the region 39-309 which contains seven ankyrin repeats. M110-(M1-F38) displaced GL from PP1c, while GM-(G63-T93) displaced M110 from PP1c in vitro. These observations indicate that the region(s) of PP1c that interact with GM/GL and M110 overlap, explaining why different forms of PP1c contain just a single targetting subunit.

The activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cultures increased phosphorylation of the low-molecular-mass neurofilament subunit (NFL) at a site previously identified as Ser55 but had no effect on neurofilament integrity. When PKA was activated in DRG cultures treated with 20-250 nM okadaic acid, neurofilament fragmentation was enhanced, and there was a corresponding increase in phosphorylation of NFL at a novel site. This site was also phosphorylated by PKA in vitro and was determined to be Ser2 by mass spectrometric analysis of the purified chymotryptic phosphopeptide. The PKA sites in NFL were dephosphorylated by the purified catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-2A but not that of protein phosphatase-1, and phosphoserine-2 was a better substrate than phosphoserine-55. The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of Ser2 and Ser55 in NFL may therefore be involved in the modulation of neurofilament dynamics through the antagonistic effects of PKA and protein phosphatase-2A.
