A170 is an oxidative stress-inducible protein having a Zinc finger domain, two PEST sequences, and many potential phosphorylation sites for serine/threonine kinases. These structural features suggest that the phosphorylation of A170 affects its function and degradation. We have found that A170 is phosphorylated in cultured murine peritoneal macrophages. In addition, using recombinant A170 proteins, we found two proteins of 40 and 44 kDa with kinase activity in cell extracts using an in-gel kinase assay. We compared the properties of the intrinsic A170 kinases with those of mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK 2), protein kinase A (PKA), casein kinase II (CK II), and protein kinase C, since their catalytic subunits have molecular masses similar to A170 kinases. ERK 2, CK II, and PKA phosphorylated recombinant A170 as a substrate. The 40 and 44 kDa kinases present in the macrophage extract were similar to alpha and alpha' subunits of CK II in respect to substrate specificity, pharmacological properties, immuno-reactivities, and ubiquitous expression in tissues.

The tumor suppressor p53 is a nuclear phosphoprotein in which DNA-binding activity is increased on exposure to DNA-damaging agents such as UV or gamma radiation by unknown mechanisms. Because phosphorylation of p53 at the casein kinase (CK) II site activates p53 for DNA-binding function in vitro, we sought to determine the in vivo relevance of phosphorylation at this site after UV and gamma radiation. A polyclonal antibody was generated that binds to bacterially expressed p53 only when phosphorylated in vitro by CK II. Using this antibody, we showed that p53 is phosphorylated at the CK II site upon UV treatment of early passage rat embryo fibroblasts and RKO cells. In addition, DNA-binding assays indicated that phosphorylated p53 bound to a p53-responsive element, suggesting functional activation. However, gamma radiation, which also stabilizes p53, did not result in phosphorylation at the CK II site. These results indicate that phosphorylation at the CK II site is one of the post-translational mechanisms through which p53 is activated in response to UV radiation and that different mechanisms activate p53 after DNA damage by gamma radiation.

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) is an important transcription factor for the genes of many pro-inflammatory proteins and is strongly activated by the cytokines interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha under various pathological conditions. In nonstimulated cells, NF-kappaB is present in the cytosol where it is complexed to its inhibitor IkappaB. Activation of NF-kappaB depends on the signal-induced phosphorylation of IkappaB by specific IkappaB kinases which initiates the inhibitor's conjugation to ubiquitin and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. We used both TNF-stimulated and okadaic-acid-stimulated HeLa cells to purify three biochemically distinct kinase activities targeting one or both of the two serines (S32 and S36) in IkappaBalpha which induce its rapid degradation upon cytokine stimulation. All three activities correspond to known IkappaB kinases: the mitogen-activated 90 kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (p90rsk1), the IkappaB kinase 1/2 complex (IKK1/2) and casein kinase II (CK II). However, we found that only one of the activities, namely the IKK1/2 complex, exists as a pre-assembled kinase-substrate complex in which the IKKs are directly or indirectly associated with several NF-kappaB-related and IkappaB-related proteins: RelA, RelB, cRel, p100, p105, Ikappa Balpha, Ikappa Bbeta and Ikappa Bepsilon. The existence of stable kinase-substrate complexes, the presence of all three known IkappaB isoforms in these complexes and our observation that the IKK complex is capable of phosphorylating Ikappa Balpha-, Ikappa Bbeta- and Ikappa Bepsilon-derived peptides at the respective degradation-relevant serines suggests that the IKK complex exerts a broad regulatory role for the activation of different NF-kappaB species. In contrast to previous studies, which locate CK II phosphorylation sites exclusively to the C-terminal PEST sequence of Ikappa Balpha, we observed efficient phosphorylation of serine 32 in Ikappa Balpha by the purified endogenous CK II complex. Therefore, both p90rsk1 and CK II have the same preference for phosphorylating only one of the two serines which are relevant for inducible degradation.

Protein kinase casein kinase II (CK II) activity was assayed during Rhodnius prolixus embryogenesis. Vitellin (VT) is the main endogenous substrate during the whole development. It is maximally phosphorylated at the third day of embryogenesis by CK II and then its phosphorylation decreases to a basal level by the time of first instar eclosion. When dephosphorylated casein was used as an exogenous substrate a different profile of enzyme activity was obtained. CK II activity increases on day 1 after fertilization and reaches a plateau on day 7 and its activity remains elevated until eclosion. Extracts obtained from oocytes or from 3-day old eggs were fractionate through gel filtration chromatography. CK II activity was assayed in each fraction and the enzyme obtained from the 3-day old eggs was shown to be three times more active than that obtained from oocytes, although the amount of enzyme present in the fractions was the same. These enriched CK II fractions were assayed against different effectors, such as: cAMP, H-8, H-89, calphostin C, sphingosine, polylysine and heparin. Heparin was the most effective one. When CK II activity was assayed in non-fertilized eggs, no activation of the enzyme was observed when compared to fertilized eggs. These data indicate that CK II is activated in a fertilization dependent process. The decrease in CK II activity against VT coincides with the beginning of VT proteolysis processing suggesting a possible relationship between protein phosphorylation and yolk degradation.

Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) contains an endogenous phosphorylation system that under specific conditions phosphorylates two proteins with apparent molecular masses of 150 and 130 kDa. The conditions for their phosphorylation are as for the skeletal muscle sarcalumenin and the histidine-rich Ca2+ binding protein (HCP) with respect to: (i) Ca2+ and high concentrations of NaF are required; (ii) phosphorylation is obtained with no added Mg2+ and shows a similar time course and ATP concentration dependence; (iii) inhibition by similar concentrations of La3+; (iv) phosphorylation is obtained with [gamma-32P]GTP; (v) ryanodine binding is inhibited parallel to the phosphorylation of the two proteins. The endogenous kinase is identified as casein kinase II (CK II) based on its ability to use GTP as effectively as ATP, and its inhibition by La3+. The association of CK II with the cardiac SR, even after EGTA extraction at alkaline pH, is demonstrated using antibodies against CK II. The cardiac 130 kDa protein is identified as sarcalumenin based on its partial amino acid sequence and its blue staining with Stains-All. Cardiac sarcalumenin is different from the skeletal muscle protein based on electrophoretic mobilities, immunological analysis, peptide and phosphopeptide maps, as well as amino acid sequencing. Preincubation of SR with NaF and ATP, but not with NaF and AMP-PNP caused strong inhibition of ryanodine binding. This is due to decrease in Ca2+- and ryanodine-binding affinities of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) by about 6.6 and 18-fold, respectively. These results suggest that cardiac sarcalumenin is an isoform of the skeletal muscle protein. An endogenous CK II can phosphorylate sarcalumenin, and in parallel to its phosphorylation the properties of the ryanodine receptor are modified.

Ser-473 is solely phosphorylated in vivo in the tail region of neurofilament L (NF-L). With peptides including the native phosphorylation site, it was not possible to locate responsible kinases. We therefore adopted full-length dephosphorylated NF-L as the substrate, and employed MALDI/TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization/time of flight) mass spectrometry and a site-specific phosphorylation-dependent antibody recognizing Ser-473 phosphorylation. The antibody showed that casein kinase I (CK I) as well as casein kinase II (CK II) phosphorylated Ser-473 in vitro, while neither GSK-3beta nor calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II did so. However, the mass spectra of the tail fragments of the phosphorylated NF-L indicated that CK II was the kinase mediating Ser-473 phosphorylation in vitro as opposed to CK I, because CK I phosphorylated another site as well as Ser-473 in vitro. The antibody also demonstrated that NF-L phosphorylated at Ser-473 was abundant in the neuronal perikarya of the rat cortex, indicating that phosphorylation of Ser-473 may take place there. This result may support the suggestion that CK II is the kinase responsible for Ser-473 phosphorylation. Despite many reports showing that CK I mediates phosphorylation of neurofilaments, CK II may phosphorylate NF-L in vivo.

The biochemical regulation of human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT), which determines the susceptibility of normal tissues to methylating carcinogens and resistance of tumor cells to many alkylating agents, is poorly understood. We investigated the regulation of AGT by protein phosphorylation in a human medulloblastoma cell line. Incubation of cell extracts with [gamma-32P]ATP resulted in Mg(2+)-dependent phosphorylation of the endogenous AGT. Immunoprecipitation after exposure of the cells to 32P-labeled inorganic phosphate showed that AGT exists as a phosphoprotein under physiological conditions. Western analysis and chemical stability studies showed the AGT protein to be phosphorylated at tyrosine, threonine, and serine residues. Purified protein kinase A (PKA), casein kinase II (CK II), and protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylated the recombinant AGT protein with a stoichiometry of 0.15, 0.28, and 0.44 (mol phosphate incorporated/mol protein), respectively. Residual phosphorylation of the endogenous AGT by the PKs present in cell homogenates and phosphorylation of the recombinant AGT by purified serine/threonine kinases, PKA, PKC, and CK II reduced AGT activity by 30-65%. Conversely, dephosphorylation of cell extracts by alkaline phosphatases stimulated AGT activity. We also identified consensus phosphorylation motifs for many cellular kinases, including PKA and CK II in the AGT protein. These data provide the first and conclusive evidence of AGT phosphorylation and suggest that reversible phosphorylation may control the activity of this therapeutically important DNA repair protein in human normal and cancer cells.

The movement protein (MP) of tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) was produced in E. coli as a soluble fusion protein with glutathione S-transferase. When immobilized on glutathione affinity beads, the recombinant protein was phosphorylated in vitro by incubating with cell extracts of Nicotiana tabacum and tobacco suspension culture cells (BY-2) in the presence of [gamma-(32)P]ATP. Phosphorylation occurred even after washing the beads with a detergent-containing buffer, indicating that the recombinant MP formed a stable complex with some protein kinase(s) during incubation with the cell extract. Phosphoamino acid analysis revealed that the MP was phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues. Phosphorylation of the MP was decreased by addition of kinase inhibitors such as heparin, suramin and quercetin, which are known to be effective for casein kinase II (CK II). The phosphorylation level was not changed by other types of inhibitor. In addition, as shown for animal and plant CK II, [gamma-(32)P]GTP was efficiently used as a phosphoryl donor. Phosphorylation was not affected by amino acid replacements at serine-37 and serine-238, but was completely inhibited by deletion of the carboxy-terminal 9 amino acids, including threonine-256, serine-257, serine-261 and serine-263. These results suggest that the MP of ToMV could be phosphorylated in plant cells by a host protein kinase that is closely related to CK II.

In search of the regulation mechanisms for isoform specific myosin assembly, we have used the COOH-terminal fragments of nonmuscle myosin isoforms MIIA and MIIB (MIIA(F46) and MIIB(alpha)(F47)) as a model system. Phosphorylation by protein kinase C (PK C) or casein kinase II (CK II) within or near the nonhelical tail-end domain inhibits assembly of MIIB(alpha)(F47) [Murakami, N., et al. (1998) Biochemistry 37, 1989]. In the study presented here, we mutated the kinase sites to analyze the inhibition mechanisms of MIIB assembly by phosphorylation. Replacement of the CK II or PK C sites with Asp (MIIB(alpha)(F47)-CK-5D or -PK-4D) strongly inhibited the filament assembly, with or without Mg(2+), by significantly increasing the critical concentrations for assembly. Without Mg(2+), MIIB(alpha)(F47)-CK-5D or -PK-4D inhibited the assembly of wild-type (wt) MIIB(alpha)(F47) by either mixing as homofragments or forming heterofragments. With 2.5 mM Mg(2+), MIIB(alpha)(F47)-wt promoted assembly of MIIB(alpha)(F47)-CK-5D and -PK-4D in homofragment mixtures, but not by forming heterofragments. MIIA(F46) coassembled with MIIB(alpha)(F47)-wt and -CK-5D and altered their assembly patterns. In contrast, assembly of MIIB(alpha)(F47)-PK-4D was unchanged by MIIA(F46). A metastasis-associated protein, mts 1, bound in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner to MIIA(F46), but not appreciably to MIIB(alpha)(F47). At 0.15 M NaCl, mts 1-Ca(2+) not only inhibited MIIA(F46) assembly but also disassembled the MIIA(F46) filaments. Mts 1, however, did not affect the assembly of MIIB(alpha)(F47) in MIIA(F46) and MIIB(alpha)(F47) mixtures, indicating that mts 1 is an inhibitor specific to MIIA assembly. Our results suggest strongly that assembly of MIIA and MIIB is regulated by distinct mechanisms via tail-end domains: phosphorylation of MIIB and mts 1 binding to MIIA. These mechanisms may also function to form MIIA or MIIB homofilaments by selectively inhibiting MIIB or MIIA assembly.

Phosphohexose isomerase (PHI) is a member of the ectoenzyme/exoenzyme family and plays a key role in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways. Upon secretion PHI acts as a cytokine with tumor autocrine motility factor (AMF), neuroleukin (NLK) and maturation factor (MF) functions. Signaling is initiated by its binding to a cell surface 78 kDa glycoprotein (gp78). However, since PHI protein is a 'leaderless' secretory protein, released from cells via a non-classical route(s), we questioned whether the molecule undergoes post-translation modification while retaining proper folding and maintaining intact enzymatic and motogenic activities. To address this, we have generated, expressed and isolated a recombinant human AMF (rhAMF). The rhAMF retained the biological activities of the native AMF, i.e., catalyzes phosphohexose isomerization and stimulated cell motility. Additionally, we show here that human PHI is phosphorylated at serine 185 by casein kinase II (CK II) and we provide experimental evidence suggesting that this phosphorylation is associated with secretion, thus providing insights for elucidating the intracellular signal transmission of cell response to stimulation by AMF/NLK/MF.
