The synthetic phosphopeptide AcSer(P)-Ser(P)-Ser(P), reproducing a recurrent feature of casein and other phosphoproteins, once partially dephosphorylated by acid phosphatase, serves as an efficient substrate for casein kinase-2. Previous dephosphorylation beyond 30% hinders subsequent phosphorylation and the entirely dephosphorylated peptide is not a substrate at all. The kinetic constants of the partially dephosphorylated phosphopeptide are much more favourable than those of the synthetic peptides SEEEAA, SSEE and SEE, the latter one being totally inert. Optimal phosphorylation occurs at pH values that ensure complete ionization of the phosphoseryl side chains. These data provide incontrovertible demonstration that phosphoserine can replace carboxylic amino acids as specificity determinant for CK-2, being more effective than glutamic acid itself.

Promastigotes from log phase and stationary phase cultures of Leishmania donovani, L. braziliensis panamensis, L. tropica, L. major, and L. mexicana amazonensis were analyzed for their content of protein kinase and acid phosphatase activities. Cell surface, histone-specific protein kinase activity was 1.3- to 2.8-fold higher in stationary phase cells of all species except for L. tropica in which the activities of stationary and log phase cells were equal; L. mexicana amazonensis had the highest histone-specific protein kinase activity and L. donovani the lowest. When viable, motile promastigotes of all five species were incubated for 10 min with [gamma-32P]ATP and Mg2+ (10 mM) in the absence of exogenous histone acceptor; about one dozen proteins were phosphorylated in each case. Both log phase and stationary phase promastigotes of all five species extensively phosphorylated a 50-kDa protein that had the mobility of tubulin. Incubation of pure calf brain tubulin with [gamma-32P]ATP and purified L. donovani protein kinase resulted in extensive phosphorylation of the former. Highly infective metacyclic forms (PNA-) of L. major, isolated from a stationary culture using the peanut agglutinin (PNA), contained eight times more histone-specific protein kinase activity than noninfective log phase cells (PNA+). The PNA- and PNA+ forms of L. major both phosphorylated a 50-kDa protein when incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and magnesium or manganese ions (10 mM); the 50-kDa protein was precipitated by anti-tubulin rabbit antibodies. Extracts of all five species contained large amounts of acid phosphatase activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In the mammalian myocardium, an active triglyceride synthesis pathway is operating, (re)esterifying activated fatty acids from endogenous or exogenous sources, with the glycolytically derived three-carbon intermediates dihydroxyacetone-phosphate and glycerol-3-phosphate by the so-called Kennedy pathway. The seven enzymes of triglyceride synthesis are membrane bound and located at the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The first enzyme in the glycerol-3-phosphate pathway, glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, is proposed to be rate limiting for triglyceride formation. This microsomal enzyme is regulated by phosphorylation (inactiycation)-dephosphorylation (activation) coupled to the beta-receptor--adenyl cyclase--protein kinase system. Additional regulatory steps in triglyceride formation are the reactions catalyzed by the microsomal phosphatidic acid phosphatase and diglyceride acyltransferase. Intracellular triglycerides occur as free floating cytosolic droplets, membrane-bound particles and lipid-filled lysosomes. No consensus exists about the metabolically active portion of myocardial triglycerides. Various lipases have been proposed to be involved in endogenous lipolysis: the lysosomal acid, microsomal and soluble neutral triglyceride, intracellular lipoprotein lipases and the microsomal di- and monoglyceridase. It has been acknowledged that the bulk of the intracellular neutral lipase represents the precursor of vascular lipoprotein lipase. The presence of a neutral lipase, as distinct from lipoprotein lipase, in the rat heart was recently advocated. Endogenous lipolysis is a hormone-sensitive process. Hormone-sensitivity may involve direct alteration of enzyme activity by protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation but is also dependent on the removal rate of product fatty acids, since feedback inhibition is a common property of all lipases in the heart.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The purification and properties of a protein serine kinase (PK-P) extracted with Triton X-100 from membranes of bakers' yeast are described. The enzyme is virtually inactive unless either a histone or a heat-stable polypeptide from yeast membranes and Mg2+ are added. Other divalent cations substitute for Mg2+ poorly or not at all; most of them, including Mn2+, inhibit when added in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+. The enzyme is unstable but can be stabilized by addition of 0.1% Triton X-100 and 20% glycerol. The final preparation shows, on silver-stained electrophoresis gels, two major bands (Mr 41,000 and 35,000). According to gel filtration the molecular weight of the active protein is about 75,000. Of the two subunits, only the smaller one appears to be autophosphorylated. In addition to casein, the enzyme phosphorylates several proteins including the H+-ATPase (Mr 100,000) in the yeast plasma membrane. In order to demonstrate the phosphorylation of the ATPase (up to 0.9 equivalents), exposure of the latter to an acid phosphatase was required. Other phosphorylated proteins include mRNA cap-binding protein from mammalian erythrocytes and yeast, a glucocorticoid receptor protein, and a preparation of the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins Gi and Go from brain. A partial purification of a natural activator from yeast plasma membranes is described.

Highly purified repressible acid phosphatase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae very efficiently dephosphorylates 32P-histones and the phosphopeptides Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-(32P)-Val-Ala and Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser (32P)-Leu-Arg previously phosphorylated by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase-C. The Km values (0.03-1 microM) are very favourable if compared with those calculated for free phosphoaminoacids and p-nitrophenylphosphate which are three to six orders of magnitude higher. While also the phosphopeptide Asp-Ala-Gly-Tyr(32P)-Ala-Arg3-Gly is readily dephosphorylated, other phosphopeptides and phosphoproteins including phosphorylase kinase, phosvitin and casein phosphorylated by both casein kinase 1 and 2 are not appreciably affected by acid phosphatase. It is suggested that yeast repressible acid phosphatase may act in vivo as a phosphoprotein phosphatase.

One of the cyr 1 mutants (cyr 1-2) in yeast produced low levels of adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP at 25 degrees and was unable to derepress acid phosphatase. Addition of cyclic AMP to the cyr1-2 cultures elevated the level of repressible acid phosphatase activity. The bcy1 mutation, which suppresses the cyr1-2 mutation by allowing activity of a cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase, also allows acid phosphatase synthesis without restoring adenylate cyclase activity. The CYR3 mutant had structurally altered cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and was unable to derepress acid phosphatase. The cyr1 locus was different from pho2, pho4 and pho81, which were known to regulate acid phosphatase synthesis. Mutants carrying cyr1-2 and pho80, PHO81c, PHO82 or pho85 mutations, which confer constitutive synthesis of repressible acid phosphatase, produced acid phosphatase. The cyr1-2 mutant produced significantly low levels of invertase and alpha-D-glucosidase. These results indicated that cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase exerts its function in the synthesis of repressible acid phosphatase and other enzymes.

The regulatory subunit of the type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (RI), isolated from bovine or rat skeletal muscle, can be phosphorylated both in vitro (Geahlen, R. L., and Krebs, E. G. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 1164-1169) and in vivo (Geahlen, R. L., and Krebs, E. G. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 9375-9379). The effects of each modification on the ability of RI to associate with the catalytic subunit (C) and with cAMP are compared. The phosphorylation of bovine RI in vitro by cGMP-dependent protein kinase results in a loss of inhibitory activity toward C and in the loss of one of two cAMP binding sites per RI monomer. Inhibitory activity can be regained upon removal of the phosphate with potato acid phosphatase. Similar effects are not observed for the subunits phosphorylated in vivo. A comparison of unmodified bovine RI with RI modified in vivo reveals no differences in their interactions with either C or cAMP. Dephosphorylation of purified rat RI also does not affect its association with C or subsequent activation by cAMP. Dephosphorylated rat RI is not a substrate for C but can be slowly phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase. The phosphorylation of RI in isolated rat soleus muscles is not inhibited by cycloheximide, ruling out the possibility that only nascent polypeptide chains are substrates for phosphorylation in vivo.

The synthetic phosphohexapeptides Arg-Arg-Ala-Thr(35P)-Val-Ala and Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser(32P)-Val-Ala, phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and differing only in the nature of the phosphorylated residue, have been used as substrates of a partially purified rat liver protein phosphatase-T, distinct from the multifunctional protein phosphatase-1. While the phosphothreonyl hexapeptide is readily dephosphorylated (exhibiting a Km = 15 microM), the phosphoseryl one is almost unaffected. Such a behavior is not shared by protein phosphatase-1, calf intestine alkaline phosphatase, and potato acid phosphatase, all of which are more active on the phosphoseryl hexapeptide. The NH2-terminal basic residues critical for cAMP-dependent phosphorylation are not required in the dephosphorylation reaction, as both Arg can be removed without impairing the efficiency of protein phosphatase-T toward the phosphothreonyl peptide. On the other hand, the replacement of 2 Pro for the Ala and Val flanking Thr(32P), to give a new phosphohexapeptide reproducing the phosphorylated site of protein phosphatase inhibitor-1, prevents the protein phosphatase-T activity. Moreover, IgG heavy chain 32P labeled in tyrosine is not affected by protein phosphatase-T, while it is dephosphorylated by alkaline phosphatase. These results would indicate that protein phosphatase(s)-T represent a distinct class of protein phosphatases specifically involved in the dephosphorylation of phosphothreonyl residues fulfilling definite structural requirements.

The subcellular distribution of adenylate cyclase, cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase, protein kinases and phosphoprotein phosphatase in bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei was determined by isopycnic sucrose-gradient centrifugation of post-large-granule extracts. Cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase was almost entirely soluble whereas adenylate cyclase was membrane-bound. The latter enzyme appeared to be absent from the plasma-membrane fraction but copurified with acid phosphatase and acid phosphodiesterase indicating a possible association with the flagellar pocket. At least two protein kinase activities could be distinguished as based on their distribution profiles in gradients, their preference for exogenously added acceptor protein and their inhibition and stimulation by suramin and nucleoside, respectively. Suramin-sensitive protein kinase co-purified with the plasma-membrane marker alpha-D-glucosidase and a nucleoside-stimulated protein kinase behaved as a typical cell-sap enzyme. Phosphoprotein phosphatase activity was found to be mainly soluble but a small part seemed to be associated with plasma membranes.

Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP 2) is the major substrate for phosphorylation in purified preparations of brain microtubules. In earlier work, we showed that phosphorylation is catalyzed by a type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase tightly associated with MAP 2 itself. In the present study, we have examined the extent of MAP 2 phosphorylation by its associated protein kinase. Using an inorganic phosphate assay, we found that MAP 2 contained from 8 to 13 mol of phosphate/mol of protein as isolated. The catalytic subunit of the MAP 2-associated kinase catalyzed the incorporation of additional phosphate to a final level of 20-22 mol/mol of MAP 2. Potato acid phosphatase was used to remove phosphate from MAP 2. Rephosphorylation of acid phosphatase-treated MAP 2 resulted in maximal incorporation of 13 mol of phosphate/mol of MAP 2. The rates and extent of [32P] phosphate incorporation into as isolated and dephosphorylated MAP 2 were found to be identical, and phosphate was incorporated into identical peptides in the two preparations. These results were interpreted to indicate that MAP 2 contains as many as 13 cAMP-dependent phosphorylation sites, and approximately eight phosphates of as yet undetermined origin.
