Reproducible induction of the enzyme tyrosine aminotransferase by dibutyryl cAMP (Bt2cAMP) in a line of HTC hepatoma cells in suspension culture requires that the cells be preinduced with dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid which itself induces tyrosine aminotransferase. Concentrations of dexamethasone that do not induce tyrosine aminotransferase fail to support Bt2cAMP induction, removal of the steroid from the medium leads to a loss of the Bt2cAMP effect, and an HTC cell line whose aminotransferase is not steroid-inducible does not respond to the cyclic nucleotide. We show that the further induction of tyrosine aminotransferase by Bt2cAMP in dexamethasone-treated cells is due to an increased rate of enzyme synthesis. The cyclic nucleotide has no effect on aminotransferase synthesis in cells grown in the absence of steroid. Several lines of evidence suggest that dexamethasone acts at a step beyond the activation of protein kinase by cAMP: (a) basal levels of cAMP are not altered by growth of HTC cells in dexamethasone; (b) accumulation of cAMP from the medium is not enhanced; (c) the glucocorticoid does not induce cAMP-dependent protein kinase in HTC cells; and (d) there is no augmentation of cAMP binding to the regulatory protein, nor is there any change in cAMP activation of protein kinase caused by growth in dexamethasone. These results help define a system that should be useful in studying the interaction of cyclic nucleotides and steroid hormones.

Protein kinase activities were identified in a soluble and a particulate fraction from the A. coronaria of cattle. For both protein kinase activities Mg++ is essential. Protamine was used as a substrate of the protein kinase activity of the soluble fraction. The pH optimum of the protein kinase activity of the soluble fraction is around 6.5. The Km-value of the protein kinase for ATP is 1.9 +/- 0.4 - 10(-5) M. cAMP stimulates the protein kinase activity more effectively than cGMP. Ca++ cannot replace Mg++; monovalent cations (Na+ and K+) show no influence. The protein kinase activity of the fraction was determined via endogenous phosphorylation. By means of the cAMP-dependent particulate protein kinase 72 to 80 percent of the serine residues are phosphorylated. The pH optimum of the protein kinase activity of the particulate fraction lies around 7.0. The Km-value of the enzyme for ATP is 6.6 +/- 0.8 - 10(-5) M. cGMP stimulates the protein kinase of the particulate fraction better than cAMP. For the protein kinase activity of this fraction Ca++ replaces Mg++ in the endogenous phosphorylation but not in the exogenous phosphorylation (protamine). In the presence of Mg++ and in the additional presence of Na+ or K+, the protein kinase activity is suppressed in the endogenous phosphorylation whereas it is stimulated in the exogenous phosphorylation.

1. Calcium binding to (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) preparations from beef and pig heart preparations of varying degrees of purity was measured. 2. Binding was inhibited by Mg2+, Na+ and K+. Inhibition by Na+ and K+ appeared to be due to an ionic strength effect. 3. Four classes of binding sites were identified with Kd values for calcium of about 0.03, 1, 15 and 200 micrometer. 4. Cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of the enzyme by protein kinase (ATP: protamine O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.70) had no effect on (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. 5. Phosphorylation also had no effect on either Kd or Bmax for calcium binding at any of the four sites whether measured in the presence of absence of NaCl or KCl. 6. It is concluded that previous reports of an effect of phosphorylation on calcium binding to a (Na+ + K+)-ATPase preparation may have been due to the presence of membrane material not directly associated with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.

This report describes the substrate and phosphoryl donor specificities of solubilized erythrocyte membrane cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-independent protein kinases toward human and rabbit erythrocyte membrane proteins. Three types of substrate preparations have been utilized: heat-inactivated ghosts, isolated spectrin, and 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride (DMMA)-extracted membranes. A 30 000-dalton protein kinase, extracted from either human or rabbit erythrocyte membranes, catalyzes the phosphorylation of heat-inactivated membranes in the presence of ATP. The resulting phosphorylation profile is analogous to that of the autophosphorylation of membranes with ATP (in the absence of cAMP). These kinases also phosphorylate band 2 of isolated spectrin and band 3, but not glycophorin, in the DMMA-extracted ghosts. The ability of the 30 000-dalton kinases to use GTP as a phosphoryl donor appears to be related to the substrate or some other membrane factor. A second kinase, which is 100 000 daltons and derived from rabbit erythrocyte membranes, uses ATP or GTP to phosphorylate membrane proteins 2, 2.1, 2.9-3 in heat-inactivated ghosts, band 2 in isolated spectrin, glycophorin, and to a lesser extent, band 3 in the DMMA-extracted ghosts.

Phosphorylation of the human erythrocyte membrane proteins by gamma (32P) ATP was studied at pH 6 and pH 7.4, at 30 degrees C, with incubation times varying from 5 to 90 minutes, and with or without cyclic AMP. Incorporated radioactivity was much higher at pH 7.4 because of the prevalent activity of cAMP independent protein-kinase. Maximum incorporation was obtained in both pH after 30-45 minutes incubation, thereafter incorporated radioactivity was either stable or decreased. The part of the radioactivity due to cAMP stimulation was low and seems constant with the incubation time. Analysis of the substrates showed the predominant cAMP independent protein kinase activity in the phosphorylation of the spectrin second component and component III and that of cAMP dependent activity in the phosphorylation of component II4, IV5 and other minor bands.

A phosphoprotein kinase (ATP : protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) from calf thymus nuclei was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydroxyapatite, and Sepharose 6B gel filtration. The enzyme is a cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase by the following criteria: (a) the protein kinase did not bind cyclic AMP; (b) no inhibition of activity was obtained with the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor from rabbit skeletal muscle; (c) the regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase had no effect on activity; and (d) no inhibition was obtained with antibody to cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The nuclear cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase readily phosphorylated protamine on serine and to a lesser extent on threonine. Homologous nucleoplasmic RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) is a better substrate than arginine-rich histone, phosvitin or casein. Physical characteristics of the enzyme are described.

A protein kinase associated with purified virions of avian myeloblastosis BAI strain A was partially purified by ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The transfer of phosphate catalyzed by this enzyme required a divalent metal ion and ATP as phosphate donor. GTP could not be substituted for ATP, and the reaction was unaffected by either cyclic AMP or beef-heart protein-kinase inhibitor. Of the virus and nonvirus proteins tested as phosphate acceptors, only acidic proteins were phosphorylated. In particular, purified preparations of reverse transcriptase from avian myeloblastosis virus did not accept phosphate. The enzyme is a basic protein (pI = 9.3), and, on the basis of molecular sieving through Sephadex G-200 and velocity sedimentation on glycerol gradient, the protein kinase has a molecular weight of 45,000.

Extracts of fasted rat diaphragms, previously treated with or without insulin were assayed for glycogen synthase, protein kinase and cyclic [3H]-AMP binding. Treatment with insulin produced an elevation in the % of glycogen synthase I and a concurrent decrease in cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity and cyclic [3H]-AMP binding. Analysis of extracts by disc gel electrophoresis demonstrated the inhibition of cyclic [3H]-AMP binding to involve the Type I protein kinase holoenzyme. Inhibition of protein kinase activity was most apparent in the presence of 0.2 micrometer cyclic AMP, with enzymatic activity of the insulin-treated extracts typically 60--65% of control. Higher assay concentrations diminished the difference between control and insulin-treated extracts and concentrations greater than 20 micrometer abolished it. The inhibition of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity after insulin was a transient and labile phenomenon. The effect was independent of ATP concentration in the assay, but was sensitive to the pH of tissue extraction, requiring a pH of 7.0 to 8.4 to be observed. Insulin-mediated inhibition of protein kinase activity was reversed upon preincubation of extracts at 0--2 degrees. Relatively concentrated homogenates (less than 4 microliter buffer/mg tissue) yielded extracts which exhibited little or no inhibition of protein kinase activity compared to extracts prepared from more dilute (6--10 microliter/mg) homogenates. A model for the inhibition of the cyclic-AMP dependent protein kinase by an insulin-generated inhibitor which becomes directly associated with the Type 1 holoenzyme is proposed.

The separate fourth intracellular microelectrode was used for controlling the conditions of cyclic nucleotide injection in neurons of Helix pomatia. Ionoforetic increase in intracellular cyclic AMP concentration elicits membrane depolarization in many neurons. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors 3-isobutyl-1-methylxantine and SQ-20009 prolong this depolarization and raise its level. In cell F-1 of helix brain sometimes cAMP induces weak hyperpolarization, but this response turns to usual depolarization after 3-isobutyl-1-methylxantine application. It is suggested that cell molecular computer has an analog input, where diffusion of cAMP, cGMP and Ca++ being a modelling process. Adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase and ionic channels of membrane are regulated sources. Phosphodiesterases with Ca2+-binding activator proteins are molecular out flowers and protein kinases--detectors that transform the data about the concentrations of cAMP and cGMP into codes for MCC. Protein kinases control over the activity of proteins directly. The depolarization effect on neuron membrane seems to be associated with protein kinase activation or with direct action of cAMP on phospholipase.

Our studies of the hormonal receptor system and of the sequence of enzymatic events interconnecting the initial hormonal stimulus to the brown adipocyte with its final subcellular effect are summarized here. The hormone-mediated regulatory pathway consists of the adenyl cyclase and the protein kinase systems; the former is composed of the receptor and catalytic sites, the latter of regulatory and catalytic subunits. Emphasis is given currently to the diversity and characteristics of the individual components of the protein kinase system, since it seems to carry out the ultimate unifying mechanism involved in a variety of hormone-mediated functions, i.e. the phosphorylation of a protein molecule.
