A casein-phosvitin-Sepharose chromatography column allows separation of nuclear protein kinases from their chromosomal phosphoprotein substrates and from at least some protein kinase inhibitors in a single step. The additional step of passing the eluted material through a partially hydrolyzed, dephosphorylated casein-Sepharose column separates the two protein kinases, NI and NII, from each other.

Two nuclear cAMP-independent protein kinases (designated PK-N1 and PK-N2) were purified from rat ventral-prostate and liver. The yield of enzyme units was 4-5% and 7-9% for each enzyme from the prostatic nuclei and liver nuclei, respectively. The average fold purification for prostatic nuclear protein kinase N1 and N2 was 1360 and 1833, respectively. The respective average specific activity of the two enzymes towards casein was 81,585 and 110,000 nmol 32P incorporated/hr/mg of enzyme. Protein kinase N1 comprised one polypeptide of Mr 35,000 which underwent phosphorylation in the presence of Mg2+ + ATP. Protein kinase N2 comprised two polypeptides Mr 40,000 and 30,000 of which only the Mr 30,000 polypeptide was autophosphorylated. Both enzymes were active towards casein, phosvitin, dephosphophosvitin, spermine-binding protein, and non-histone proteins in vitro. Little activity was detected towards histones. Both enzymes were stimulated by 150-200 mM NaCl. MgCl2 requirement varied with the protein substrate but was between 2-4 mM for both enzymes. With dephosphophosvitin as substrate, the apparent Km for ATP for N1 protein kinase was 0.01 mM. GTP did not replace ATP in this reaction. Protein kinase N2 was active in the presence of ATP or GTP. The apparent Km was 0.01 mM for ATP, but 0.1 mM for GTP.

Two cAMP-independent protein kinases were purified from rat ventral-prostate and liver cytosol, and were designated PK-C1 and PK-C2 to distinguish them from the nuclear protein kinases described in the preceding paper. The yield of the prostate enzymes was about 5% each, and about 10% each for the liver enzymes. The average fold purification of the prostatic enzymes was 1892 and 3176 for protein kinase C1 and C2, respectively. Their average respective specific activity towards casein was 40,111 and 67,340 nmol 32P incorporated/hr per mg of enzyme protein. protein kinase C1 comprised one polypeptide of Mr 39,000 which underwent phosphorylation in the presence of Mg2+ + ATP. Protein kinase C2 comprised three polypeptides of Mr 41,000; 38,000; 26,000. Of these only the Mr 26,000 polypeptide was autophosphorylated. The Mg2+ requirement for protein kinase C1 and C2 was between 1 and 4 mM depending on the nature of the protein substrate. Both enzymes were stimulated by 100-200 mM NaCl. Km for ATP for C1 and C2 kinases was 0.01 mM; GTP could be used only by protein kinase C2 but with a markedly lower affinity. The enzymes were active towards casein, phosvitin, dephosphophosvitin, and spermine-binding protein in vitro, but demonstrated little activity towards histones. Despite several similarities in these general properties of cytosolic protein kinases C1 and C2 with those of nuclear protein kinases N1 and N2, a number of differences are also noted.

A model for the regulation of erythropoietin production has been presented. This model proposes that a primary O2-sensing reaction in the kidney is initiated by a decrease in ambient PO2, a rapid decrease in gas exchange in the lung, a diminished oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin, a molecular deprivation of oxygen, or a decrease in renal blood flow. It is proposed that the primary oxygen-sensing reaction may trigger the release of several mediators that stimulate adenylate cyclase through a receptor-activated stimulation of a G protein in the renal cell membrane. Some of the agents that are thought to be released during hypoxia, which may trigger this cascade, are adenosine (A2 activation), eicosanoids (PGE2, PGI2, and 6-keto PGE1), oxygen-free radicals (superoxide and H2O2), and catecholamines with beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist properties. The activation of adenylate cyclase generates cyclic AMP, which activates protein kinase A, leading to the production of a phosphoprotein that, in turn, activates a nuclear protein involved in transcription and/or translation for erythropoietin biosynthesis and/or secretion. A second part of this model concerns the effect of hypoxia on a renal cell membrane phosphodiesterase and the generation of inositol triphosphate and diacylglycerol. Diacylglycerol may interact with diacylglycerol lipase to generate arachidonic acid, which, together with arachidonic acid generated by the interaction of phospholipase A2 on membrane phospholipids, produces eicosanoids. Eicosanoids may play a secondary role in Ep production/secretion. The model further proposes that calcium levels in both renal and liver cells may be important in regulating erythropoietin biosynthesis and/or secretion. It is proposed that an increase in intracellular calcium leads to the inhibition of erythropoietin biosynthesis and/or secretion and a decrease in intracellular calcium increases erythropoietin production. The specific mechanism by which calcium regulates erythropoietin biosynthesis and secretion is not well understood. However, a good correlation is seen with several agents that decrease intracellular calcium and increase erythropoietin production as well as with other agents that increase intracellular calcium and decrease erythropoietin production. When inositol triphosphate levels are increased, an increase in the mobilization of intracellular calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum or another intracellular pool occurs. This increased intracellular calcium probably activates a calcium calmodulin kinase and produces a phosphoprotein that inhibits erythropoietin production/secretion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

We have used affinity chromatography to study the effects of phosphorylation of calf thymus high-mobility-group proteins HMG 14 and HMG 17 on their binding properties towards calf thymus single- and double-stranded DNA and histone H1. Without in vitro phosphorylation, HMG 14 and HMG 17 eluted from double-stranded DNA-columns at 200 mM NaCl. HMG 14 was released from single-stranded DNA-column at 300 mM NaCl and from H1-column at 130 mM NaCl, whereas the corresponding values for HMG 17 were 230 mM and 20 mM, respectively. Phosphorylation of HMG 14 and HMG 17 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) decreased markedly their affinity (270 mM and 200 mM NaCl, respectively) for single-stranded DNA, whereas HMG 14 phosphorylated by nuclear protein kinase II (NII-kinase) eluted only slightly (290 mM NaCl) ahead of the unphosphorylated protein. HMG 14 phosphorylated by both A-kinase and NII-kinase eluted from double-stranded DNA-columns almost identically (190 mM NaCl) with the unphosphorylated protein. Interestingly, phosphorylation of HMG 14 by NII-kinase increased considerably its affinity for histone H1 and the phosphorylated protein eluted at 200 mM NaCl. Phosphorylation of HMG 14 by A-kinase did not alter its interaction towards histone H1. These results indicate that modification of HMG 14 by phosphorylation at specific sites may have profound effects on its binding properties towards DNA and histone H1, and that HMG 17 has much weaker affinity for single-stranded DNA and histone H1 than HMG 14.

Nucleolin [C23 or 100 kilodaltons (kDa)] is the major nucleolar phosphorylated protein in exponentially growing Chinese hamster ovary cells. A nucleolar cyclic nucleotide independent protein kinase copurified with nucleolin in a complex which could be dissociated by hydroxyapatite chromatography. The kinase was stimulated by spermine and inhibited by heparin and presented most of the properties of nuclear casein kinase NII. Kinetic analyses showed the apparent Km value for nucleolin (7 X 10(-4) mg/mL) to be lower than those for other casein kinase II substrates such as nuclear protein HMG 14 (0.15 mg/mL), topoisomerase I (0.025 mg/mL), or topoisomerase II (0.04 mg/mL). Similarly, Vmax values were higher for nucleolin than for other substrates. Nucleolin thus appears to be a natural preferential substrate of nucleolar casein kinase NII. The kinase phosphorylated nucleolin in vitro at serine residues in a 29-kDa CNBr fragment located near the amino terminus of the molecule. The enzyme labeled typical casein kinase II sites. These sites were found predominantly in two highly acidic tryptic fragments designated A (residues 21-49) and C (residues 180-221) which contained serines having at least two acidic residues on their carboxyl-terminal sides. These results demonstrate the existence in the nucleolus of a type of NII protein kinase that uses a protein involved in ribosome assembly as preferential substrate.

We have used a microinjection technique to examine whether injected phosvitin, in its capacity as substrate for casein kinase NII, could compete out the endogenous phosphorylation of some nuclear phosphoproteins with regulatory potential and thereby interfere with the activity of RNA polymerase II. Phosphorylation, which utilizes ATP as phosphate donor, was separated from phosphorylation which uses GTP. Phosvitin introduced into nuclei of salivary gland cells becomes phosphorylated by the endogenous nuclear protein kinase(s) and incorporates phosphates from ATP as well as from GTP. The phosphorylation of nuclear proteins and phosvitin is heparin-sensitive, indicating that they are phosphorylated by casein kinase NII. Microinjected phosvitin does not seem to affect the incorporation of phosphate groups from ATP into nuclear proteins, but protein phosphorylation by GTP is influenced. Apart from a minor overall reduction of 32P-incorporation, the phosphorylation of a 42 kDa nuclear protein, a putative transcription stimulatory factor, and of a 115 kDa nuclear protein was competed out by 70%-80% compared with the control value obtained in the absence of phosvitin. Parallel analyses of DNA transcription in phosvitin-injected nuclei showed that the RNA polymerase II-mediated synthesis of hnRNA and Balbiani ring RNA was diminished by 80% and 90%, respectively. In contrast, the transcription of nucleolar pre-ribosomal 38 S RNA by RNA polymerase I remained unaffected. The inhibitory effect of injected phosvitin could be reversed by in vitro phosphorylation of phosvitin prior to injection, using isolated nuclei as source of protein kinase(s). Taken together, the results suggest a causal relationship between the modification of the GTP-dependent phosphorylation of specific non-histone proteins and the activity of RNA polymerase II.

The activity of endogenous nuclear protein kinases has been probed in an vitro assay system of isolated nuclei from Chironomus salivary gland cells. The phosphorylation of a set of seven prominent rapidly phosphorylated non-histone proteins and of histones H3, H2A and H4 was analyzed using ATP or GTP as phosphoryl donor and heparin as protein kinase effector. The core histones H2A and H3 both incorporate 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP as well as from [gamma-32P]GTP but their phosphorylation is differentially affected by heparin. The phosphorylation of H2A is blocked by heparin while that of H3 is even stimulated in the presence of heparin when ATP is used as phosphate donor. H4 is unable to incorporate phosphate groups from GTP but its ATP-based phosphorylation is heparin sensitive. Of the non-histone protein kinase substrates, we could only detect two, the 44-kDa and 115-kDa proteins, which are heparin sensitive with either ATP or GTP and, thus, strictly meet the criteria for casein kinase type II-specific phosphorylation. The investigated histones and non-histone proteins can be grouped into three broad categories on the basis of their phosphorylation properties. (A) Proteins very likely affected by casein kinase NII. (B) Proteins phosphorylated by strictly ATP-specific protein kinases. (C) Proteins phosphorylated by ATP as well as GTP utilizing protein kinase(s) other than casein NII. Category B proteins can be subdivided into proteins phosphorylated in a heparin-resistant (B1) and heparin-sensitive (B2) manner. The phosphorylation of category C proteins may be heparin sensitive with ATP only (C1), heparin sensitive with GTP only (C2), heparin insensitive with both ATP and GTP (C3) or stimulated by heparin (C4).

A nuclear system for studying nuclear protein phosphorylation is characterized, using as phosphate donor either low levels of [gamma-32P]GTP, low levels of [gamma-32P]ATP, or low levels of labeled ATP plus excess unlabeled GTP. Since nuclear casein kinase II is the only described nuclear protein kinase to use GTP with high affinity, low levels of GTP should specifically assay this enzyme. ATP should measure all kinases, and ATP plus unlabeled GTP should measure all kinases except nuclear casein kinase II (ATP-specific kinases). The results are consistent with these predictions. In contrast with the ATP-specific activity, endogenous phosphorylation with GTP was enhanced by 100 mM NaCl, inhibited by heparin and quercetin, stimulated by polyamines, and did not use exogenous histone as substrate. The GTP- and ATP-specific kinases phosphorylated different subsets of about 20 endogenous polypeptides each. Addition of purified casein kinase II enhanced the GTP-supported phosphorylation of the identical proteins that were phosphorylated by endogenous kinase. These results support the hypothesis that activity measured with GTP is catalyzed by nuclear casein kinase II, though other minor kinases which can use GTP are not ruled out. Preliminary observations with this system suggest that the major nuclear kinases exist in an inhibited state in nuclei, and that the effects of polyamines on nuclear casein kinase II activity are substrate specific. This nuclear system is used to determine if the C-proteins of hnRNP particles, previously shown to be substrates for nuclear casein kinase II in isolated particles, is phosphorylated by GTP in intact nuclei. The results demonstrate that the C-proteins are effectively phosphorylated by GTP, but in addition they are phosphorylated by ATP-specific kinase activity.

The nuclear protein kinase NI (NI kinase) was purified from NB-15 mouse neuroblastoma cells by phosphocellulose column and casein affinity column chromatography. The purified NI kinase exhibited (i) an apparent subunit molecular weight of about 37,000, (ii) autophosphorylation, and (iii) insensitivity to inhibition by heparin. When NI kinase was added to heat-treated neuroblastoma nuclei in the presence of [gamma-32P] ATP, two proteins with apparent subunit molecular weights of 11,000 and 10,000 were prominently phosphorylated. Other protein kinases tested including the nuclear protein kinase NII, Type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and protein kinase C did not catalyze the phosphorylation of these two proteins. The NI kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of these two proteins was completely inhibited by 1 mM spermine. In contrast, 10 mM putrescine, 2 mM spermidine, 5 mM arginine, and 10 mM NH4Cl, had no inhibitory effect on this phosphorylation reaction. Our study also indicated that the phosphorylation of the 11,000- and 10,000-dalton proteins occurred in the nuclear matrix fraction but not in heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins, high mobility group proteins, or histone fractions. We have previously reported that spermine specifically inhibits the endogenous phosphorylation of an 11,000-dalton nuclear protein in various mammalian cell lines (Chen, K. Y., and Verma, R. (1984) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 118, 710-716). The present study suggests that the 11,000- and 10,000-dalton nuclear proteins may be native substrates of nuclear protein kinase NI and that their phosphorylation can be affected by physiological concentrations of spermine.
