Phosphorylation of skeletal muscle glycogen synthase catalyzed by a protein kinase is stimulated up to 10-fold by the calcium-dependent regulator (CDR) protein. Half-maximal stimulation requires about 1 microgram of CDR/ml. Phosphorylation by the CDR-dependent synthase kinase is more rapid at pH 8.6 than at pH 6.8 and is blocked by ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl-ether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid and trifuloperazine. Approximately 60 to 70% of the phosphate is incorporated into the trypsin-insensitive region of glycogen synthase resulting in conversion of the a form to the b form of the enzyme. The CDR-dependent synthase kinase is not myosin light chain kinase, as this enzyme does not phosphorylate glycogen synthase. Furthermore, synthase phosphorylation by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit is not affected by CDR. The possibility that CDR-dependent synthase kinase may be phosphorylase kinase is being investigated.

A protein kinase which depends on the simultaneous presence of Ca2+ and the modulator protein for its histone phosphorylation activity has been demonstrated in rabbit skeletal muscle and partially purified. The purified enzyme was not activated by cAMP, cGMP, or incubation with trypsin. Nor was the enzyme inhibited by the protein inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. In addition to histone, myosin light chains and phosphorylase kinase served as substrates for the protein kinase, and their phosphorylation also depended on the presence of Ca2+ and the modulator protein. The phosphorylation of phosphorylase kinase was accompanied with a marked activation of the enzyme. The results suggest that the protein kinase has multiple functions and may be involved in the mediation of Ca2+ effects in many biological processes. It is proposed that this enzyme be designated as the modulator-dependent protein kinase. The modulator-dependent protein kinase may be identical to the myosin light chain kinase; chicken gizzard light chain kinase has been shown activatable by the modulator protein (Dabrowska, R., Sherry, J. M. F., Aramatorio, D. K., and Hartshorne, D. J. (1978) Biochemistry 17, 253-258).

Turkey gizzard smooth muscle light chain kinase was purified by affinity chromatography on calcium dependent regulator weight of 125,000 +/- 5,000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When myosin light chain kinase is incubated with the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, 1 mol of phosphate is incorporated per mol of myosin kinase. Brief tryptic digestion of the 32P-labeled myosin kinase liberates a single radioactive peptide with a molecular weight of approximately 22,000. Phosphorylation of myosin kinase results in a 2-fold decrease in the rate at which the enzyme phosphorylates the 20,000-dalton light chain of smooth muscle myosin. These results suggest that cyclic AMP has a direct effect on actin-myosin interaction in smooth muscle.

Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of the myosin light chains in bovine aortic native actomyosin is markedly depressed in the presence of cyclic AMP and its dependent protein kinase. This inhibition occurs with either cardiac, skeletal, or aortic protein kinase plus cyclic AMP, while little or no inhibition occurs with either cyclic AMP or protein kinase alone. The extent of inhibition is related to the concentration of protein kinase and approaches a maximum of approximately 50%. Concomitant with the inhibition of myosin light chain phosphorylation is (a) an increased phosphorylation of a 100,000-dalton moiety which possibly corresponds to the myosin light chain kinase present in the native actomyosin preparation and (b) a decrease in the actomyosin Mg2+-ATPase activity. These findings suggest that modulation of actin-myosin interactions by the cAMP system directly at the level of the contractile proteins may represent a mechanism by which beta adrenergic relaxation occurs in mammalian vascular smooth muscle.

Caclium initiates smooth muscle contraction by activating an enzyme, myosin light chain kinase. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of phosphate from adenosine triphosphate to the 20,000 dalton light chain of myosin. In its phosphorylated form myosin interacts with actin to produce muscle contraction. The mechanism by which calcium activates myosin kinase requires (1) the binding of calcium to a 16,500 dalton calcium-binding protein (calmodulin), and (2) the binding of calmodulin-calcium to a 125,000 dalton catalytic subunit. This two protein complex is the active form of myosin light chain kinase. Smooth muscle relaxation is mediated by cyclic adenosine 3':5' monophosphate (cyclic AMP). One nechanism by which the latter may exert a direct effect on actin-myosin interaction is through the activation of a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase that can phosphorylate the 125,000 dalton component of myosin light chain kinase. Phosphorylation of myosin light chain kinase decreases the activity of the enzyme, thus favoring the unphosphorylated form of myosin, which cannot interact with actin to produce smooth muscle contraction.

Myosin light chain kinase, which is located primarily in the soluble fraction of bovine myocardium, has been isolated and purified approximately 1200-fold with 16% yield by a three-step procedure. The approximate content of soluble myosin light chain kinase in heart is calculated to be 0.63 microM. The isolated kinase is active only as a ternary complex consisting of the kinase, calmodulin, and Ca2+; the apparent Kd for calmodulin is 1.3 nM. The enzyme also exhibits a requirement for Mg2+ ions. Myosin light chain kinase is a monomeric enzyme with Mr = 85,000. The enzyme exhibits a Km for ATP of 175 microM, and a K0.5 for the regulatory light chain of cardiac myosin of 21 microM. The optimum pH is 8.1. Kinase activity is specific for the regulatory light chain of myosin. The specific activity of the isolated enzyme (30 nmol 32P/min/mg of protein) is considerably less than and corresponding values reported for the skeletal and smooth muscle light chain kinases. This is probably due to proteolysis during extraction of the myocardium, a phenomenon which has, as yet, proven impossible to eliminate. In contrast to the smooth muscle enzyme (Adelstein, R.S., Conti, M.A., Hathaway, D.R., and Klee, C.B. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 8347-8350), the cardiac kinase is not phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

1. A procedure is described for the isolation of myosin light-chain kinase from rabbit fast skeletal muscle as a homogeneous protein. 2. Myosin light-chain kinase is a monomeric enzyme of mol.wt. 77000. Under some conditions of storage it is converted into components of mol.wts. about 50000 and 30000 that possess enzymic activity. 3. The enzyme is clearly different in structure and properties from any other protein kinase so far isolated from muscle. 4. The enzyme is highly specific for the P-light chain (18000-20000-dalton light chain) of myosin and requires Ca2+ for activity. 5. The P-light chain is phosphorylated at a similar rate whether isolated or associated with the rest of the myosin molecule. 6. The effects of pH, bivalent cation and other nucleotides on the enzymic activity are described. 7. The role of the phosphorylation of the P-light chain of myosin in muscle function is discussed.

To assess the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the respiratory burst of adherent human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL), reduction of ferricytochrome C by cells triggered with a phorbol ester (PMA), ionophore A23187, serum-treated zymosan (STZ) or three lipid derivatives, 3-decanoyl-sn-glycerol (G-3-OCOC9), (R,R)-1,4-diethyl-2-O-decyl-L-tartrate (Tt-2-OC10) and 3-decyloxy-5-hydroxymethylphenol (DHP) was examined in a microtiter plate procedure in the presence of inhibitors of PKC and, for comparison, inhibitors of calmodulin, diacylglycerol and myosin light chain kinases and the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity of fujiphilin. 1) Of the protein kinase inhibitors examined, Ro 31-7549 and staurosporine reduced responses to all stimuli except possibly STZ; in contrast, K252a and the myosin light chain kinase inhibitors ML-7 and ML-9 blocked responses to A23187 and STZ better than those triggered by PMA. H-7 reduced responses to A23187, DHP and G-3-OCOC9, and calphostin, palmitoyl carnitine, sphingosine and the multifunctional drugs TMB-8 and W-7 reduced A23187; they also, when examined, reduced decane derivative-induced O2- production more effectively than PMA- and STZ-triggered responses. Polymyxin B, 4 alpha-PMA and retinal displayed no inhibitory capacity. 2) Of the selective calmodulin antagonists, CGS 9343B, Ro 22-4839 and calmidazolium did not inhibit the oxidative response irrespective of the stimulus used, whereas metofenazate reduced those evoked by A23187, DHP, G-3-OCOC9 and STZ.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The structure of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the first protein kinase structure to be solved, is reviewed. The general architecture of the enzyme is described as well as the active site regions associated with substrate binding and catalysis. In particular, the unique features of the protein kinase nucleotide fold are outlined. While the catalytic subunit is one of the simplest of the protein kinases, it nevertheless serves as a structural framework for the catalytic core of the entire protein kinase family which now includes over 200 important regulatory enzymes. The essential and conserved features of this core are summarized, and a preliminary model of myosin light-chain kinase, based on the structure of the catalytic subunit, is also discussed.

Most platelet agonists activate and elevate the cytosolic free calcium concentration in human platelets through receptor-dependent mechanisms that are antagonized by cAMP- and cGMP-elevating agents. Nitrovasodilators such as nitroprusside and endothelium-derived relaxing factor are potent cGMP-elevating platelet inhibitors. In the present study, the role of cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase in nitrovasodilator inhibition of ADP- and thrombin-evoked calcium elevation and activation of human platelets was investigated. Preincubation of platelets with 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-pCPT-cGMP; a membrane-permeant selective activator of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase that does not significantly affect cGMP-regulated phosphodiesterases) inhibited the thrombin-induced phosphorylation mediated by myosin light chain kinase and protein kinase C. Nitrovasodilator-induced protein phosphorylation in human platelets was distinct from that induced by cAMP-elevating prostaglandins and could be mimicked by 8-pCPT-cGMP. Preincubation of human platelets with nitrovasodilators or 8-pCPT-cGMP inhibited the ADP- and thrombin-evoked calcium elevation in the presence and absence of external calcium. Nitrovasodilators and 8-pCPT-cGMP also inhibited the agonist-induced Mn2+ influx, but stopped-flow experiments indicated that the ADP receptor-operated cation channel was not significantly inhibited. These results suggest that in human platelets nitrovasodilators inhibit the agonist-induced calcium mobilization from intracellular stores and the secondary store-related calcium influx but not the ADP receptor-operated cation channel. The results also suggest that these nitrovasodilator effects are mediated by cGMP and the cGMP-dependent protein kinase.
