During mitosis the lamins are found in a hyperphosphorylated and soluble state. p34cdc2 kinase (MPF), a protein kinase complex with a pivotal role during mitosis, has been found to phosphorylate the lamins and, in some cases, though not all, to cause depolymerization of the lamina in vitro. Due to the variety of protein interactions in the lamina, there is a probable requirement for multiple enzyme activities to effect its breakdown in mitosis. Using nuclear ghosts as substrate, we have fractionated a Xenopus mitotic extract into a lamin-releasing fraction (p34cdc2 kinase) and a fraction that inhibits p34cdc2 kinase-mediated lamin release if the nuclear ghosts are first preincubated in it. The lamin-release-inhibiting activity in the p34cdc2 kinase-depleted mitotic extract is, in turn, inhibited if PKI, a protein kinase inhibitor specific for PKA, is included in the preincubation reaction mixture. Furthermore, a similar degree of inhibition can be achieved by using purified PKA to preincubate the nuclear ghosts. This suggests that dephosphorylation of PKA substrate sites is necessary for lamin depolymerization.

Adenosine and adrenergic agonists modulate neutrophil function by ligating their specific receptors (adenosine A2 and beta-adrenergic) on the neutrophil. When occupied, adenosine A2 and beta-adrenergic receptors stimulate, presumably via G alpha s, an increase in intracellular 3', 5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP affects cellular functions, in part, via protein kinase-mediated phosphorylation. Therefore, we determined whether inhibition of protein kinase A activity by KT5720 (10 mumol/L) reversed the inhibition of FMLP-stimulated O2- generation by 5'N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), the most potent adenosine A2 agonist, and by isoproterenol a potent beta-adrenergic agonist. KT5720 did not affect O2- generation stimulated by FMLP (125% +/- 13% of control, n = 5). However, KT5720 completely reversed inhibition of O2- generation by dibutyryl cAMP (DbcAMP, 1 mmol/L, from 26% +/- 5% to 84% +/- 25% of control, n = 5, P less than .004), but not by NECA (1 mumol/L, 26% +/- 5% v 33% +/- 7% of control, n = 5) or isoproterenol (10 mumol/L, 20% +/- 8% to 38% +/- 6% of control, n = 5). Nearly identical results were obtained using the less specific protein kinase inhibitor H-7. To determine whether occupancy of adenosine A2 or beta-adrenergic receptors inhibits neutrophil (PMN) activation by uncoupling chemoattractant receptors from G proteins, we determined the effect of NECA and isoproterenol on guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activity, a parameter that reflects G protein "activation," of plasma membranes derived from human PMNs. Control GTPase activity was 138.9 pmol/mg protein/min; NECA (1 nmol/L to 1 mumol/L) and isoproterenol (10 nmol/L to 10 mumol/L) alone did not significantly affect GTPase activity. FMLP (0.1 mumol/L) increased GTPase activity by 31.9 +/- .9 pmol/mg/min, an increment that was markedly inhibited to approximately 50% of control by NECA (IC50 = 3 nmol/L, P less than .001, n = 5) and isoproterenol (IC50 = 30 nmol/L, P less than .001, n = 5). Neither cAMP nor dibutyryl cAMP (10 mumol/L and 1 mmol/L) affected resting or stimulated GTPase activity. In addition, neither adenosine nor DbcAMP affected protein phosphorylation in resting or stimulated neutrophils. Our studies are consistent with the hypothesis that ligation of G alpha s-linked receptors uncouples chemoattractant receptors from their signal-transduction mechanisms rather than inhibiting neutrophil function via cAMP-mediated effects.

1. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on K+ current in primary culture of mouse colliculi neurones and to identify the 5-HT receptor subtype that could be involved in this effect. 2. The voltage-activated K+ current of the neurones was partially blocked by 8-bromo adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-bromo-cyclic AMP). This effect was mimicked by 5-HT and the action of 5-HT could be antagonized by H7, a non specific protein kinase inhibitor, and by PKI, the specific cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase blocker. 3. A similar cyclic AMP-dependent blockade of the K+ current was found with renzapride (BRL 24,924) and other 5-HT4 receptor agonists such as cisapride, BIMU 8, zacopride and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT). ICS 205,930, the classical 5-HT4 receptor blocker, could not be used in this study because it inhibited the studied K+ current by itself. However, the novel 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, DAU 6285 blocked the effects of 5-HT and renzapride on the K+ current. 4. The current was insensitive to the 5-HT1 and 5-HT3 receptor agonists (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin, RU 24,969, carboxamidotryptamine, 2-CH3-5-HT) as well as to 5-HT1, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 antagonists (methiothepin, ketanserin, ondansetron [GR 38,032]). Moreover, these antagonists did not affect the actions of the tested 5-HT4 receptor agonists. 5. The present results show that part of the voltage-activated K+ current in mouse colliculi neurones is cyclic AMP-sensitive and the blockade of the current by 5-HT involves the 5-HT4 receptor subtype.The putative implication of 5-HT4 receptors in neuronal plasticity, via a blockade of K+ channels, is discussed.

Heat-stable enterotoxins activate guanylate cyclase, whereas heat-labile enterotoxins stimulate adenylate cyclase. Both classes of toxins cause secretory diarrhea at least in part by stimulating Cl- secretion in the intestine. The mechanism for regulation of Cl- secretion by guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) was investigated using cultured T84 intestinal cells as a model for intestinal crypt cells. Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) markedly stimulated cGMP production in T84 cells. Cl- secretion across T84 cell monolayers cultured on permeable filters was stimulated by E. coli ST, cholera toxin, or 8-BrcAMP, but 8-BrcGMP was ineffective. cGMP analogues that are known to be potent and specific activators of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cG-kinase) also had little effect on 36Cl- uptake by T84 cells cultured in plastic dishes. E. coli ST, forskolin, cholera toxin, or membrane-permeant cAMP analogues markedly increased 36Cl- uptake into T84 cells. The general protein kinase inhibitor, staurosporine, inhibited the stimulation of Cl- permeability elicited by E. coli ST, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), or 8-BrcAMP. DEAE-Sephacel chromatography revealed a predominant type II isoform of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cA-kinase) in T84 cells, whereas little or no cytosolic cG-kinase activity was found. Treatment of T84 cells with E. coli ST or VIP resulted in an increase in the cA-kinase activity ratio (-cAMP/+cAMP) if the cytosolic enzyme was assayed at reduced temperature (on ice).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The voltage-sensitive rat brain sodium channel is known to be phosphorylated by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), but the functional significance of that phosphorylation is unknown. We have shown that rat brain sodium channel currents expressed in Xenopus oocytes were enhanced by induction of PKA activity. Stimulation of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor or treatment with dibutyryl cAMP resulted in increased sodium current amplitudes without affecting the voltage dependence of channel activation or inactivation. These increases were completely blocked by preinjection of protein kinase inhibitor, a specific inhibitor of PKA. Injection of phosphatase into the oocytes resulted in a significant decrease in sodium current amplitude, indicating that phosphorylation is important for basal levels of sodium channel activity in oocytes. The enhancement was specific for the rat brain IIA sodium channel, because currents expressed from the rat muscle microI sodium channel were not enhanced by the same procedures. These data demonstrate a modulatory role of PKA phosphorylation on brain sodium channel function and suggest a means by which the electrical excitability of cells may be regulated.

We have previously reported the analysis of DdPK3, a developmentally regulated putative serine/threonine kinase that shares approximately 50% amino acid sequence identity with metazoan cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C, within their catalytic domains. Cells in which the DdPK3 gene has been disrupted do not aggregate but they are able to induce aggregation-stage genes in response to cAMP pulses and the prestalk-specific ras gene DdrasD in response to high continuous levels of cAMP but will not induce prespore gene expression. In this report, we present conclusive evidence that DdPK3 encodes the catalytic subunit of the Dictyostelium PKA. DdPK3 null cells lack kinase activity that phosphorylates a PKA-specific substrate and is specifically inhibitable by recombinant cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor. DdPK3 expressed in Escherichia coli has PKA activity that is inhibitable by protein kinase inhibitor. When Ddpk3 null cells are complemented with DdPK3 expressed from an actin promoter on an extrachromosomal vector (low copy number), PKA activity is restored and the cells proceed to the slug stage but will not culminate, suggesting that properly regulated PKA activity is essential for culmination. Moreover, overexpressing DdPK3 in wild-type cells on integrating vectors (high copy number) from either an actin or prespore-specific promoter results in accelerated development and the ability to form mature spores in monolayer culture in the presence of high cAMP, a developmental potential lacking in wild-type cells.

We studied the blocking mechanism of 5-hydroxydecanoate, a novel antiarrhythmic agent, on the ATP-sensitive K+ channel in the single ventricular myocytes using the inside-out patch clamp technique. The channel activity in response to 5-hydroxydecanoate varied with each membrane patch corresponding to the sensitivity to ATP. In this condition the exogenous application of cAMP or cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) obviously recovered the ATP-sensitive K+ channel activity after channel deactivation. By contrast, in membrane patches exhibited low sensitivity to ATP, endogenous cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor (PKI) depressed the channel activity and restored the inhibitory action of 5-hydroxydecanoate and ATP on the channel. These results suggest that PKA-PKI system is involved in the regulatory mechanism of gating activity of the ATP-sensitive K+ channel and the blocking action of 5-hydroxydecanoate and ATP appears to be exerted by potentiating the inhibitory action of PKI on the channel.

There are at least three isozymes (C alpha, C beta, and C gamma) of the mammalian catalytic (C) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) (Beebe, S., Oyen, O., Sandberg, M., Froysa, A., Hansson, V., and Jahnsen, T. (1990) Mol. Endocrinol. 4, 465-475). To compare the C gamma and C alpha isozymes, the respective cDNAs were expressed in permanently transformed Kin-8 PKA-deficient Y1 adrenal cells using the mouse metallothionein promoter. The recombinant C subunits were characterized as immunoreactive, zinc-inducible, cAMP-dependent kinase activities. In contrast to C alpha, histone was a better substrate than Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly (Kemptide) for C gamma. Furthermore, C gamma histone kinase activity was not inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitor peptide (5-24 amide), which has been widely used as a PKA-specific inhibitor. The major C gamma peak (type I) eluted from DEAE-Sepharose at a higher NaCl concentration (120 mM) than the C alpha type I eluted (70 mM). C gamma and C alpha type II eluted between 220 and 240 mM NaCl. C gamma required higher concentrations of cAMP than C alpha did for dissociation from the mutant type I holoenzyme. These differences provided a basis for the separation of the mutant RI-associated isozymes on DEAE-Sepharose. Both C alpha (41-42 kDa) and C gamma (39-40 kDa) were identified by a C subunit antibody after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblot analysis. Zinc induced the PKA-mediated rounding phenotype in C gamma and C alpha clones, thereby restoring the cells to the parent Y1 adrenal cell phenotype. Collectively, these data indicate that C gamma is an active PKA C subunit but suggest that C gamma and C alpha have different protein and peptide recognition determinants.

A regulatory region involved in both autoinhibition and calmodulin (CaM) binding has previously been identified in the multifunctional Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase II). We have tested the role of various segments of the regulatory region in autoinhibition by the analysis of a series of truncation, substitution, and deletion mutants of the CaM kinase II alpha subunit (CaM kinase II alpha). Unexpectedly, the sequence Lys-Lys-Phe-Asn at positions 291-294, adjacent to the CaM binding domain, was found to be sufficient to maintain an inhibited state in a truncated form of the kinase. However, these residues are not essential in the context of the full-length protein, indicating the importance of additional residues from the overlapping CaM binding domain. We propose here a molecular model for CaM kinase II alpha based on the three-dimensional structure of the cAPK-PKI-(5-24) (protein kinase inhibitor fragment) complex. It is predicted from this model that autoinhibition is of the pseudosubstrate variety and that autophosphorylation of Thr-286 could occur by an intersubunit reaction in the holoenzyme complex.

1. A giant patch method was used to study the stimulatory effect of cytoplasmic MgATP on outward Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange current in inside-out cardiac membrane patches (1-10 G omega seals with 14-24 microns pipette tip diameters) excised from guinea-pig, rabbit and mouse myocytes. 2. To establish the validity of the method with respect to structure, bleb formation was examined with electron microscopy and with confocal fluorescence light microscopy. The blebs, which form as the sarcolemma detaches, excluded intracellular organelles and transverse tubules. The blebbed cells contained normal sarcomeres, sarcoplasmic reticulum, triads and diads. 3. To further establish the validity of the method for ion transport studies, measurements of Na(+)-K+ pump currents and charge movements are described briefly which demonstrate (i) free access to the cytoplasmic membrane side, (ii) MgATP dependence comparable to reconstituted pump (Kd, 94 microns), (iii) fast, rigorous concentration control and (iv) Na(+)-K+ pump densities in the range of whole-cell densities. 4. Stimulation of outward Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange current by MgATP attenuated exchange current decay during step increments of cytoplasmic sodium, shifted the secondary activation of outward exchange current by cytoplasmic calcium to lower free calcium concentrations and, particularly in mouse cardiac sarcolemma, induced cytoplasmic calcium-independent current. 5. Upon removal of MgATP the stimulatory effect usually decayed with a t50 (half-time) of about 3 min. However, the reversal took place much more rapidly (t50, 5-20 s) in patches from individual guinea-pig and rabbit myocyte batches. When decay was rapid, secondary activation by cytoplasmic calcium was shifted to higher free cytoplasmic calcium concentrations (Kd, 10-65 microns-free calcium). 6. With repeated applications of MgATP the rate and magnitude of the stimulatory effect progressively decreased. 7. The Kd for MgATP of the initial rate of stimulation of outward exchange current was 3 mM or greater. When decay was rapid, the steady-state dependence of exchange current on MgATP also had a Kd of 3 mM or greater. 8. Stimulation of Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange current by MgATP occurred in the absence of cytoplasmic calcium with 9 mM-EGTA. 9. The stimulatory effect of 2 mM-MgATP was not inhibited by up to 200 microM of the protein kinase inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinoline sulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7), or by peptide inhibitors of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C and calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
