It is shown that cyclic nucleotides can have a variety of effects on cell division, cell shape, cell adhesion, and cell movement, depending on the cells selected and the conditions under which they are used. For example, while CHO cells elongate under the influence of exogenous dibutyryl CAMP, Y-1 adrenal tumor cells round up and polyoma-transformed 3T3 cells show no change in shape. The totality of experience with cyclic nucleotides suggests that where they have been used by cells as control elements involving the four processes listed above, they are superimposed on basic cellular processes that progress in their absence--that is, they must be acting indirectly. In attempting to understand the inhibitory action of methyl xanthines on egg development, we were forced to abandon the idea that they acted through cyclic nucleotides. We found that methyl xanthines inhibited the activation of glutathione reductase and that glutathione oxidizing agents act as mitotic inhibitors. Further, we found that tubulin polymerizability, NAD-kinase activity, and a mitotic apparatus associated Ca+2-ATP-ase were all inhibited by oxidation of some of their sulfhydryls and were activated by reduction of the resulting disulfides. These results are discussed in terms of reported cycles and activations of glutathione reductase (GR) in cells and reports that mixed disulfides of glutathione and proteins can act as substrates for GR. Using the fact that a CAMP-dependent protein kinase has been reported to be activated by glutathione, we have suggested potential sites where sulfhydryl control processes and cyclic nucleotide control processes and cyclic nucleotide control processes may interact in certain restricted cases.

A physiologically and biochemically realistic model of the regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH) was constructed for the perfused rat heart. It includes conversion between inactive (phospho) and active (dephospho) forms by a specific protein kinase (PDHK) and phosphoprotein phosphatase (PDHP). The activity of the tightly bound PDHK is influenced by synergistic activation/inhibition by acetyl CoA/CoASH and NADH/NAD. PDHK in this simulation was more sensitive to the fraction of ADP that was Mg2+-chelated than to the ATP-to-ADP ratio. Ca2+ stimulates binding of Mg2+-dependent PDHP to the complex; the bound enzyme was considered to be the active species. The fraction of PDH in the active form, rather than substrate and inhibitor levels, determines PDH activity under these conditions. This fraction depends on the present value and recent history of the difference between PDHK and PDHP activities. Both of these are active continuously and continuously control PDH.

Protein kinase N (PKN) is a protein kinase rapidly activated by nerve growth factor (NGF) and other agents in PC12 pheochromocytoma and additional cell types. PKN is selectively inhibited by purine analogs, and this property has served both as a diagnostic for PKN activity and to establish its apparent involvement in certain pathways of the NGF mechanism of action. The present work has focused on further characterization, identification, and purification of NGF-activated PKN. We show here that PKN can be substantially enriched by elution from ion exchange resins with ATP. We exploited this novel technique (nucleotide affinity exchange chromatography) to devise two alternative isolation schemes for PKN. One utilizes sequential chromatographic steps and provides a preparation that is apparently 60% homogeneous for PKN and represents a total enrichment of approximately 10,000-fold. The other is a single column procedure and includes prewashes with NAD. This method yields material that is about 5-10% homogeneous for PKN, requires about 1 h, and can be applied to multiple samples in parallel. The ATP elution technique furthermore distinguishes NGF-regulated from basal PKN activity and thereby suggests the presence of distinct PKN isoforms. The applications of sucrose gradient centrifugation, gel filtration chromatography, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)/silver staining, affinity labeling with 8-azido-ATP/SDS-PAGE, and autophosphorylation (after SDS-PAGE, blotting and renaturation) all indicate that PKN has an apparent molecular mass of 45-47 kDa and is mainly monomeric in solution. These and additional properties appear to distinguish PKN from many previously described protein kinases.

We have investigated the possible role of plasma membrane oxidoreductases in the Ca2+ export mechanisms in rat brain synaptic membranes. Ca2+ efflux in nerve terminals is controlled both by a high-affinity/low capacity Mg-dependent ATP-stimulated Ca2+ pump and by a low affinity/high capacity ATP-independent Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger. Both Ca2+ efflux mechanisms were strongly inhibited by pyridine nucleotides, in the order NADP greater than NAD greater than NADPH greater than NADH with IC50 values of ca. 10 mM for NADP and ca. 3 mM for the other agents in the case of the ATP-driven Ca2+ pump and with IC50 values between 8 and 10 mM for the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger. Oxidizing agents such as DCIP3 and ferricyanide inhibited the ATP-driven Ca2+ efflux mechanism but not the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger. In addition, full activation of plasma membrane oxidoreductases requires both an acceptor and an electron donor; therefore the combined effects of both substrates added together were also studied. When plasma membrane oxidoreductases of the synaptic plasma membrane were activated in the presence of both NADH (or NADPH) and DCIP or ferricyanide, the inhibition of the ATP-driven Ca2+ pump was optimal; by contrast, the pyridine nucleotide-mediated inhibition of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger was partially released when both substrates of the plasma membrane oxidoreductases were present together. Furthermore, the activation of plasma membrane oxidoreductases also strongly inhibited intracellular protein phosphorylation in intact synaptosomes, mediated by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase, Ca2+ calmodulin-dependent protein kinases, or protein kinase C.

We have previously shown the existence of the major substrate protein of Mr 100,000 (substrate 100 K protein) for Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells. In the present study, the identity of the substrate 100 K protein to elongation factor 2 (EF-2) was investigated. In a 105,000 g-supernatant fraction (cytosol), the protein of Mr 100,000 with the pI (isoelectric point) value of 6.7 was phosphorylated in the presence of calcium and CaM. The optical densities of this phosphorylated band were greatly enhanced in the presence of the EF-2 purified from pig liver (1 microgram) [20-23-fold, n = 5] when compared with those in the absence of the component. In the presence of the purified EF-2, the phosphorylation of Mr 100,000 was detected only in the presence of calcium alone or calcium plus CaM. This phosphorylation in the presence of calcium alone was completely inhibited in the presence of the CaM antagonist pimozide (500 microM), showing the existence of endogenous CaM in the cytosol. In the same fraction, the ADP-ribosylated protein of Mr 100,000 was detected in the presence of diphtheria toxin (fragment A) and (adenylate-32P) NAD, indicating the presence of EF-2 in the cytosol from rat adrenal glomerulosa cells. These results suggest that the substrate 100 K protein may be identical to EF-2 in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells.

The ppd1 mutant of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was isolated as a suppressor of the cyr2 mutation which caused alteration of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Three peaks of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity (peak I, II and III) were identified by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography of crude extracts of the wild-type strain. The ppd1 mutant was deficient in peak III phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. The peak III enzyme efficiently utilized the phosphorylated forms of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase and trehalase as substrate. The ppd1 mutation did not suppress the cyr1, CYR3 or ras1 ras2 mutations. The ppd1 locus was located on chromosome II and had identical characteristics with glc1. The ppd1 mutation suppressed the G1 arrest caused by nutritional limitation, but maintained sensitivity to mating pheromone. In diploids homozygous for the ppd1 mutation, no premeiotic DNA replication and commitment to intragenic recombination occurred and no spores were formed, suggesting that the accumulation of phosphorylated proteins in the absence of one of the phosphoprotein phosphatases is required for mitosis but not for the initiation of meiosis.

Phosphorylase kinase purified from rabbit skeletal muscle was ADP-ribosylated by hen liver nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase. This modification, as was seen in cAMP-dependent phosphorylation, was observed only in alpha and beta subunits of the phosphorylase kinase and the latter was more rapidly modified. Analysis of the ADP-ribosylated amino acid residue sequenced in alpha and beta subunits showed that both subunits were modified at the area of the arginine residue. The Km for NAD was 0.10 mM and the pH optimum was 9.0. When the ADP-ribosylated phosphorylase kinase was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a reduction in phosphate incorporation occurred with increase in the ADP-ribosylation. ADP-ribosylation also suppressed autophosphorylation, to a lesser degree than observed with cAMP-dependent phosphorylation. The ADP-ribosylation-dependent reduction of phosphorylation resulted in a suppression of the phosphorylation-dependent activation of the phosphorylase kinase. These results together with findings of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in the rabbit skeletal muscle [Soman, G. et al. (1984) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 120, 973-980] suggest that ADP-ribosylation participates in the regulation of the phosphorylase kinase activity through changes in the rate of phosphorylation.

The ADP-ribosylation site of histone H1 from calf thymus by purified hen liver nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase was determined and effects of the ADP-ribose X histone-H1 adduct on cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the histone H1 were investigated. ADP-ribosylated histone H1 was prepared by incubation of histone H1, 1 mM [adenylate-32P]NAD and the purified ADP-ribosyltransferase. N-Bromosuccinimide-directed bisection of ADP-ribosylated histone H1 showed that the NH2-terminal fragment (Mr = 6000) was modified and contained serine residue 38, the site of phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Digestion of the NH2-terminal fragment with cathepsin D and trypsin, and purification of this fragment, using high-performance liquid chromatography, yielded a radiolabelled single peptide corresponding to residues 29-34 of histone H1, containing the arginine residue as the ADP-ribosylation site. These results indicate that ADP-ribosylation of histone H1 occurs at the arginine residue 34, sequenced at the NH2-terminal side of the phosphate-accepting serine residue 38. Phosphorylation of histone H1 from calf thymus by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was markedly reduced when histone H1 was ADP-ribosylated. Kinetic studies of phosphorylation revealed that ADP-ribosylated histone H1 was a linear competitive inhibitor of histone H1 and a linear non-competitive inhibitor of ATP.

The development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is thought to be dependent on either the autoimmunity or the interaction of environmental agents with the pancreatic beta cells, or both in a genetically susceptible host. As environmental factors affecting the induction of type I diabetes, diabetogenic chemicals and viruses are likely candidates as primary injurious agents for pancreatic beta cells in man and animal. A number of structurally diverse chemicals including alloxan, streptozotocin, chlorozotocin, vacor, and cyproheptadine are diabetogenic mainly in rodents and sometimes in man. The possible mechanisms for the beta cell destruction by these chemicals include (a) generation of oxygen free radicals and alteration of endogenous scavengers of these reactive species; (b) breakage of DNA and consequent increase in the activity of poly ADP ribose synthetase, and enzyme depleting NAD in beta cells; and (c) inhibition of active calcium transport and calmodulin-activated protein kinase activity. Regarding viruses, a number of different viruses including encephalomyocarditis virus, Mengovirus, Coxsackie B viruses, and Reoviruses can infect and destroy pancreatic beta cells mainly in rodents and sometimes in humans. In the murine model, the development of encephalomyocarditis and Coxsackie B virus-induced diabetes is dependent on the genetic background of the host and the genetic makeup of the virus. Mengo-2T virus has caused diabetes in strains of mice resistant to encephalomyocarditis virus-induced diabetes. In contrast to encephalomyocarditis virus, Coxsackie B viruses, and Mengovirus, reovirus type 1 seems to be somewhat associated with an autoimmune response in the induction of diabetes. In addition to the murine model, cotton rats become diabetic when inoculated with Mengovirus 2T. Furthermore, cumulative environmental insults with Coxsackie B viruses and chemicals result in diabetes in non-human primates. In man, there may be 2 possible roles for viruses in the pathogenesis of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The one is acute cytolytic infection of beta cells (e.g., Coxsackie B viruses), which may sometimes induce diabetes in genetically predisposed individuals, and the other one is slow and persistent infection (e.g., congenital cytomegalovirus and Rubella), which may induce autoimmunity, leading to type I diabetes.

L-type pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) purified from pig liver was ADP-ribosylated by incubation with NAD and ADP-ribosyltransferase purified from hen liver nuclei. Maximal incorporation of the ADP-ribose moiety from NAD into the L-type pyruvate kinase was 0.98 mol/mol of subunit. The Km values for NAD and L-type pyruvate kinase were 0.17 mM and 9.7 microM, respectively. ADP-ribosylation of the L-type pyruvate kinase resulted in suppression of the subsequent phosphorylation catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The ADP-ribosylation-induced suppression of phosphorylation of the L-type pyruvate kinase also resulted in suppression of the phosphorylation-induced inactivation. Amino acid analysis, after exhaustive sequential digestion of ADP-ribosyl-L-type pyruvate kinase with pepsin, aminopeptidase M and carboxy-peptidase B showed arginine to be the ADP-ribose-accepting amino acid. These results together with finding of the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in mammalian liver cytosol (Moss, J. and Stanley, S.J. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 7830-7833) suggest that ADP-ribosylation may participate in the regulation of the L-type pyruvate kinase activity through changes in the rate of phosphorylation.
