Incubation of rat ovarian slices with choriogonadotropin resulted in stimulation of cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase activity in a time and dose dependent manner. However, prior exposure of animals to choriogonadotropin in vivo resulted in a decreased sensitivity to subsequent in vitro stimulation by the same hormone. This decreased sensitivity was due to a lesion in the hormone receptor adenylate cyclase system rather than a change in the property of protein kinase with respect to its stimulation by cyclic AMP. Unchanged levels of cyclic AMP formation in these ovaries were evidenced by the lack of inhibition of [3H] cyclic AMP binding. In the untreated controls, however, choriogonadotropin in vitro resulted in inhibition [3H] cyclic AMP binding activity suggesting endogenous occupation parallel to protein kinase activation. These results are indicative of the linear coupling of hormone receptor-adenylate cyclase-protein kinase system and point out the in vivo role of protein kinase activation in choriogonadotropin mediated regulation of ovarian function.

In this study we analyzed the covalent binding to proteins of 17 beta-estradiol (E2), retinoic acid (RA), and progesterone in MCF-7 and MCF-7/AdrR cells. MCF-7 cells have receptors for E2 and progesterone. MCF-7/AdrR cells do not have these receptors. After a 1-day incubation period with either [3H]E2, [3H]progesterone, or [3H]RA the levels of covalently bound radioactivity was between 1.4- to 2-fold greater in MCF-7 cells than in MCF-7/AdrR cells. We analyzed the labeled proteins with two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and fluorography. About 40 proteins were labeled by E2 in MCF-7 cells and about 10 of these proteins were the only proteins labeled by E2 in MCF-7/AdrR cells. We saw that the same 8 proteins were labeled by RA in both cell lines. Progesterone labeled 2 proteins with M(r) values of 37,000 and 20,000 in MCF-7 cells. These 2 proteins had mobilities that were the same as proteins that were labeled by either E2 or RA in both MCF-7 and MCF-7/AdrR cells. Besides these 2 proteins, we saw proteins of M(r) 51,000 (p51) and 55,000 that were covalently labeled by E2 in MCF-7 cells and by RA in both MCF-7 and MCF-7/AdrR cells. The p51 had the same mobility on 2D-PAGE as an 8-azido-[32P]cAMP-labeled protein. This protein is probably RII alpha, the type II cAMP-binding regulatory subunit of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These results suggest that the estrogen receptor, while not obligatory, might still modulate the covalent linkage of E2 to protein. In addition, our results raise the possibility that some effects of some ligands of the thyroid/steroid hormone receptor family may involve the covalent linking of these hormones to proteins, including RII alpha.

Inhibition of protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates occurs in response to a variety of conditions including heme deficiency, addition of oxidants, and heat stress. The inhibition of translation is due to the activation of a heme-regulated protein kinase (HRI) which specifically phosphorylates the alpha-subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-2. In this report, immunoadsorption with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and Western blot analysis were used to investigate the interaction of HRI, the 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp 90), hsp 70, and the EC1 antigen in rabbit reticulocyte lysates under protein synthesizing conditions. The data indicate that hsp 90, hsp 70, and the EC1 antigen interact with HRI in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The EC1 antigen is a protein that has been demonstrated to be associated with several steroid hormone receptor-hsp 90 complexes and reacts with the KN 382/EC1 mAb (EC1). The association of HRI with hsp 90 and the EC1 antigen in the reticulocyte lysate was found to be dependent on the presence of hemin at a concentration of 5 microM or higher; little HRI was coadsorbed by the 8D3 anti-hsp 90 mAb or the EC1 mAb in the absence of hemin. Hsp 70 remains associated with HRI in the absence of hemin, suggesting that hsp 90 and 70 may bind to HRI at different sites. The immunological properties of the hsp 70 associated with HRI indicate that it may be the constitutively express heat shock cognate protein (hsc 73). The results suggest that the association of HRI with hsp 90 and the EC1 antigen may be in a dynamic equilibrium, in which complex formation is either facilitated or stabilized by the presence of hemin, and supports the notion that these proteins in conjunction with hsp 70 may play a role in regulating HRI activity or activation in situ.

Improved methodology was used to establish that the phosphorylation of a serine located 10 residues from the N-terminus of glycogen synthase (N10) increases from 0.12 mol.mol-1 to 0.54 mol.mol-1 in vivo in response to adrenalin. The only 'N10 kinase' detected in muscle extracts was casein kinase-1 (CK1), although its activity was unaffected by injection of adrenalin in vivo or by incubation with cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase and MgATP in vitro. Prior phosphorylation of the serine residue N7 by phosphorylase kinase increased sixfold the rate of phosphorylation of glycogen synthase by CK1, and altered the specificity of CK1 so that it phosphorylated the serine residue N10 specifically. Stoichiometric phosphorylation of N7 decreased the activity ratio (+/- glucose 6-phosphate) of glycogen synthase from 0.80 to 0.45, and subsequent phosphorylation of N10 to 0.8 mol.mol-1 produced a further decrease to 0.17, demonstrating that N10 phosphorylation inhibits glycogen synthase. The major 'N10 phosphatase' in skeletal muscle extracts was identified as the glycogen-associated form of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1G), accounting for approximately 75% of the N10 phosphatase activity in the extracts and about 90% of the activity in isolated glycogen particles. Phosphorylation of N10, after prior phosphorylation of N7, decreased the rate of dephosphorylation of N7. These results, in conjunction with previous findings, establish that adrenalin inhibits glycogen synthase by increasing the phosphorylation of N7, N10 and three further serines located 30, 34 and 38 residues from the start of the C-terminal CNBr peptide (termed the region C30-C38). They also indicate that increased phosphorylation of N10, the region C30-C38, and perhaps N7, is initiated through the inhibition of PP1G by adrenalin, which results from phosphorylation of its glycogen-targetting subunit by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase [Hubbard, M.J. & Cohen, P. (1989) Eur. J. Biochem. 186, 711-716]. The conclusion that direct phosphorylation of glycogen synthase by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase makes little contribution to inhibition by adrenalin, is at variance with the teachings of the major textbooks of biochemistry.

The mating-type genes at MAT in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are expressed, whereas the same genes located at HML and HMR are transcriptionally repressed. The DNA element responsible for repression at HMR has been termed a silencer and contains an autonomous replication sequence, a binding site for GRFI/RAPI, and a binding site for ABFI. A double-mutant HMR-E silencer that contains single nucleotide substitutions in both the GRFI/RAPI- and ABFI-binding sites no longer binds either factor in vitro, nor represses transcription at HMR in vivo. In MAT alpha cells, this derepression of a information results in a nonmating phenotype. Second-site suppressor mutations were isolated that restored the alpha mating phenotype to MAT alpha cells containing the double-mutant silencer. One of these suppressors, designated sas1-1, conferred a temperature-sensitive lethal phenotype to the cell. SAS1 was found to be identical to CDC7, a gene which encodes a protein kinase required for the initiation of DNA replication. This new allele of CDC7 was designated cdc7-90. cdc7-90 restored the alpha mating phenotype by restoring silencing. The original allele of CDC7, isolated on the basis of the cell cycle phenotype it confers, also restored silencing, and overexpression of CDC7 interfered with silencing. cdc7-90 did not restore detectable binding of GRFI/RAPI or ABFI to the double-mutant silencer in vitro. These results indicate that a reduced level of CDC7 function restores silencing to a locus defective in binding two factors normally required for silencing.

As a measure of the transmembrane signals that they transduce, two neurotrophic agents, nerve growth factor (NGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and the muscarinic agonist carbachol were compared for their ability to induce TIS (tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate-inducible sequences) transcripts, representing a family of immediate early response genes, in the rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 and the morphologically unresponsive variant PC12nnr5. Three genes, TIS1 (also designated NGFIB), TIS8 (also designated NGFIA), and TIS21, induced in these cells by NGF (Kujubu, D.A., Lim, R.W., Varnum, B.C., and Herschman, H.R. (1987) Oncogene 1, 257-262, 1987), are also induced by bFGF and carbachol. In native PC12 cells the level of expression of TIS8 and TIS21 is similar for all three stimuli, as well as for tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA). In contrast, the induction of TIS1 by NGF and TPA is slight and is only just detectable after stimulation by bFGF, but is strong for carbachol. Thus, although all of these agents can stimulate protein kinase (PK-C), at least one TIS gene can apparently be differentially regulated by these ligands, suggesting that alternative signaling pathways must also exist. In keeping with this view, bFGF, and to a lesser degree NGF, can elicit a TIS gene response in PC12 cells in which PK-C has been down-regulated with TPA. The response to carbachol (and TPA) is effectively blocked under these conditions. Since both NGF and bFGF stimulate neurite outgrowth in such cells, PK-C is apparently not essential, i.e. does not represent the sole mechanism, for signal transduction leading to modulation of gene expression for these factors. Consistent with this model, putative protein kinase inhibitors, K252a and sphingosine, did not inhibit the TIS gene responses to bFGF. However, these agents also failed to block TIS gene responses to carbachol and TPA indicating that they were ineffective as PK-C inhibitors under these conditions. The NGF-induced response was, however, blocked by K252a indicating a unique step in the mechanism of this factor not shared by the other ligands. Sphingosine did not block TIS induction with NGF. The mutant cell line PC12 nnr5 does not respond morphologically to either NGF or bFGF. However, TIS gene responses to bFGF are unaffected, whereas those to NGF are completely abolished. The response to TPA is altered quantitatively but not qualitatively; the induction by carbachol is largely eliminated, apparently as a result of a 90% reduction in muscarinic receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Inhibition of protein synthesis initiation in rabbit reticulocyte lysates occurs in response to a variety of conditions including heme deficiency, addition of oxidants, and heat stress. The inhibition of translation occurs due to the activation of a heme-regulated protein kinase (HRI), which specifically phosphorylates the alpha-subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-2. How the activation of HRI in hemin-supplemented lysate occurs in response to oxidants and heat stress is not well understood. Recently, the 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp 90) has been reported to co-purify with HRI activity. In this report, we have used monoclonal antibodies directed against hsp 90 to determine whether HRI and hsp 90 are functionally associated in the reticulocyte lysate in situ. The AC88 antibody recognizes only free hsp 90 and only bound significant amounts of hsp 90 upon prolonged incubation in the absence of heme or upon N-ethylmaleimide treatment of hemin-supplemented lysates. HRI activity is not absorbed by the AC88 antibody. The 8D3 monoclonal antibody, which binds to both free hsp 90 and hsp 90 complexed to steroid hormone receptors, absorbed the hsp 90 present in hemin-supplemented lysates and reduced the HRI activity by 70-95%. Progressively more HRI activity is not adsorbed by the 8D3 antibody the longer the reticulocyte lysate is incubated in the absence of hemin. The HRI that is adsorbed from heme-deficient lysates by the 8D3 antibody is also more active. The sedimentation rate of HRI was analyzed by glycerol gradient centrifugation. HRI present in hemin-supplemented lysate was found to have a sedimentation coefficient of approximately 7.5-8 S and was adsorbed from fractions by the 8D3 antibody in association with hsp 90. A second peak of HRI activity with a sedimentation coefficient of approximately 4.5-5 S was detected upon glycerol gradient centrifugation of heme-deficient lysates. Upon Western blot analysis, heme-deficient lysates were found to have less hsp 90 in the 7.5-8 S region of glycerol gradients than hemin-supplemented lysates. The data suggest that HRI is associated with hsp 90 in an inactive form in hemin-supplemented lysates and dissociates from hsp 90 upon activation. There also appears to be an intermediate of active HRI which is associated with hsp 90 or which can reversibly associate with hsp 90. Similarities between the stages of HRI activation and steroid hormone receptor activation and transformation are discussed.

The steroid hormone receptor has been defined as an intracellular protein which associates with the corresponding ligand in a stereospecific manner. Its binding ability and affinity have been reported to be affected by many factors such as protein kinase, SH reducing agent and molybdate. Through ligand binding, hormone-receptor complexes undergo activation process resulting in its acquisition of high affinity toward DNA. Although the detailed biochemical mechanism of receptor activation remains to be elucidated, the reduction of their molecular size has been proposed to be an obligatory step for receptor activation. Recently, heat shock protein 90 K, has become known to bind with the oncogene product (pp 60 v-src). Furthermore, it has been demonstrated to be a common component of both nonactivated, and not activated steroid receptor. The recombinant gene technology has successfully determined the amino acid sequence of GR, ER and PgR. All steroid receptors consist of three domains, namely the immunogenic, DNA-binding and steroid-binding domains. Experiments using deletion mutant receptors revealed that the DNA binding domain has both abilities of DNA binding and transactivation, and that the steroid binding domain negatively regulates DNA binding activity. The purified GR has been found to bind with the specific region (GRE) of glucocorticoid-dependent genes. The consensus sequence of GRE has been observed to be TG-TTCT. Two other proteins which can be associated with some regions near GRE have been proposed to activate cooperatively the glucocorticoid responsive genes with GR. Therefore, the steroid hormone receptor systems are suitable for clarifying the molecular mechanism of gene activation.

The in vivo phosphorylation state of glycogen synthase was re-examined by fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry and a procedure in which phosphoserine residues are first converted to S-ethylcysteine. In animals injected with the beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol, the phosphorylation sites in the N-terminal (N) and C-terminal (C) cyanogen bromide peptides were identified as the serine residues at N7, the region C28-C39, C42, C46 and C100. In animals injected with adrenalin, the phosphorylation of N7 increased from 0.6 to 0.8 mol/mol, the region C28-C39 from 0.7 to 1.2 mol/mol and C100 from 0.3 to 0.6 mol/mol. The phosphorylation states of C42 (0.7 mol/mol) and C46 (0.9 mol/mol) were unchanged. In addition, two further serine residues became phosphorylated at positions N10 (0.5 mol/mol) and C87 (0.5 mol/mol), which were not phosphorylated in the absence of adrenalin. Residues N10 and C42 have not been recognized as in vivo sites of phosphorylation previously. The results suggest that N10 is phosphorylated by a novel protein kinase which may be activated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. The phosphorylation of C42 is likely to be catalysed by glycogen synthase kinase 3. The protein kinases responsible for phosphorylating N7, the region C28-C39, C46, C87 and C100 in vivo and the molecular mechanisms by which adrenalin inactivates glycogen synthase in vivo are discussed. Residue N3, a major site phosphorylated by casein kinase-I in vitro is not phosphorylated in vivo. This and other evidence indicates that casein kinase-I is not a glycogen synthase kinase in vivo.

The glucocorticoid hormone receptor (92 kDa), purified 9000-fold from rat liver cytosol by steroid affinity chromatography and DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, was assayed for the presence of protein kinase activity by incubations with [gamma-32P]ATP and the photoaffinity label 8-azido-[gamma-32P]ATP. Control preparations isolated by affinity chromatography in the presence of excess steroid to prevent the receptor from binding to the affinity matrix were assayed for kinase activity in parallel. The receptor was not labeled by the photoaffinity label under photoactivation conditions in the presence of Ca2+ or Mg2+. A Mg2+-dependent protein kinase (48 kDa) that could be photoaffinity labeled with 8-azido-ATP copurified with the receptor. This kinase was also present in control preparations. The kinase could phosphorylate several minor contaminants present in the receptor preparation, including a protein (or proteins) of similar molecular weight to the receptor. The phosphorylation of 90-92-kDa proteins was independent of the state of transformation or steroid-binding activity of the receptor. These experiments provide direct evidence that neither the glucocorticoid receptor nor the 90-92-kDa non-steroid-binding protein associated with the molybdate-stabilized glucocorticoid receptor possesses intrinsic Ca2+- or Mg2+-dependent protein kinase activity.
