cDNA clones encoding the regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) from Dictyostelium discoideum were isolated by immunoscreening of a cDNA library constructed in the expression vector lambda gt11. High-affinity cAMP-binding activity was detected in extracts from bacteria lysogenized with these clones. Nucleotide sequence analysis of three overlapping clones allowed the determination of a 1195-base-pair cDNA sequence coding for the entire regulatory subunit and containing nontranslated 5' and 3' sequences. The open reading frame codes for a protein of 327 amino acids, with molecular weight 36,794. The regulatory subunit from Dictyostelium shares a high degree of homology with its mammalian counterparts, but is lacking the NH2-terminal domain required for the association of regulatory subunits into dimers in other eukaryotes. On the basis of the comparison of the regulatory subunits from Dictyostelium, yeast, and bovine tissues, a model for the evolution of these proteins is proposed.

We have used oligonucleotide probes, based on a portion of the p60v-src autophosphorylation sequence, Glu-Asp-Asn-Glu-Tyr-Thr, to identify and characterize a cDNA from the human T-leukemia cell line, JURKAT. The JURKAT cDNA (designated ptk-JURKAT) was homologous to but distinct from the src, yes and fgr oncogenes, which encode protein-tyrosine kinases (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37). The ptk-JURKAT cDNA hybridized with a 2.2 kb RNA transcript from JURKAT cells and the human T-cell lymphoma line, MOLT-4, but failed to identify any transcript in two human B-cell lymphoma lines or a human erythroid-myeloid leukemia line, K562. Recently the nucleotide sequence has been established for the murine lymphocyte protein tyrosine kinase, p56LSTRA. The ptk-JURKAT cDNA appears to encode the human homolog of p56LSTRA.

In the course of determining the primary structure of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK; ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) a peptide fragment was obtained that appears to represent the calmodulin-binding domain of this enzyme. Low concentrations of the peptide inhibited calmodulin activation of MLCK (Ki congruent to 1 nM). The peptide was not associated with a catalytically active, calmodulin-independent form of MLCK that was obtained by limited proteolysis. The peptide is 27 residues in length and represents the carboxyl terminus of MLCK. The sequence of the peptide shows no significant homology with any known protein sequence. The peptide contains one tryptophanyl residue and a high percentage of basic and hydrophobic residues, but no acidic or prolyl residues. Much of the sequence has a high probability of forming alpha helix. A chemically synthesized peptide has been prepared to study the interactions of the peptide and calmodulin in more detail. The intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of the synthetic peptide shows a significant enhancement (approximately equal to 45%) in the presence of Ca2+ and calmodulin; fluorescence enhancement is maximal at a peptide:calmodulin stoichiometry of 1:1. Calmodulin-Sepharose affinity chromatography in the presence of 2 M urea indicates that the interaction of peptide and calmodulin is Ca2+-dependent. The results of these studies indicate that the catalytic and calmodulin-binding domains of MLCK represent distinct and separable regions of the protein. In addition, the results provide a basis for future studies of the molecular and evolutionary details of calmodulin-dependent enzyme regulation.

Tyrosine-specific protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) activity was measured in normal human nonadherent peripheral blood lymphocytes using synthetic peptide substrates having sequence homologies with either pp60src or c-myc. A high level of tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity was found associated with the cell particulate fraction (100 000 X g pellet). High-pressure liquid chromatography and phosphoamino acid analysis of the synthetic peptide substrates substantiated the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues by the particulate fraction enzyme. The human enzyme was also capable of phosphorylating a synthetic random polymer of 80% glutamic acid and 20% tyrosine. Enzyme activity was half-maximal with 22 microM Mg X ATP and had apparent Km values for the synthetic peptides from 1.9 to 7.1 mM. The enzyme preferred Mg2+ to Mn2+ for optimal activity and was stimulated 2-5-fold by low levels (0.05%) of some ionic as well as non-ionic detergents including deoxycholate, Nonidet P-40 and Triton X-100. The enzyme activity was not stimulated by N6;O2'-dibutyryl cyclic AMP (100 microM), N6;O2'-dibutyryl cyclic GMP (100 microM), Ca2+ (200 microM), insulin (1 microgram/ml) or homogeneous human T-cell growth factor (3 micrograms/ml) under the conditions used. Alkaline-resistant phosphorylation of particulate proteins in vitro revealed protein bands with Mr 59 000 and 54 000 suggesting that there are endogenous substrates for the human lymphocyte tyrosine protein kinase.

After bacteriophage T7 infection, a protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37; ATP:protein phosphotransferase) activity can be demonstrated in E. coli in vivo by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Cell-free extracts catalyzed the transfer of the terminal phosphoryl group of [(gamma)-(32)P]ATP to endogenous protein acceptor or to added histone. The bond between phosphate and protein shows the characteristics of serine phosphate: it is stable in 1 N HCl (100 degrees ) and cleaved by 1 N KOH (37 degrees ) and by alkaline phosphatase treatment. Moreover, after partial acid hydrolysis, radiophosphate migrates with marker O-phosphoserine on polyethyleneimine-cellulose thin-layer chromatograms. Enzyme activity in uninfected cells is negligible. Ultraviolet irradiation of the phage genome prevents the appearance of the protein kinase; irradiation of the host genome does not. The enzyme activity occurs 4 min after infection and its gene maps in the early region (promoter proximal to gene 1). Ribosomal proteins are phosphorylated in vivo and are substrates in vitro. Enzyme activity in vitro is not changed by addition of cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP.

It has been difficult to establish whether cyclic AMP-mediated protein phosphorylation in nerve cells plays a specific role in synaptic transmission. This difficulty can be overcome in higher invertebrates because their large neurons allow the injection of protein molecules into the cell. We have used intracellular injection to study whether protein phosphorylation is involved in the mechanism of sensitization, a simple form of learning. Sensitization of the gill-withdrawal reflex in Aplysia involves enhancement of transmitter release by presynaptic facilitation at a particular set of synaptic connections between identified sensory neurons and their follower cells. We have found that injection of the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) purified from bovine heart mimics the action of the natural transmitter and of serotonin, the putative transmitter, by simulating the physiological changes that accompany presynaptic facilitation. Intracellular injection of the kinase into a sensory cell (i) broadens the action potential in the presence of tetraethylammonium, indicating an increase in Ca2+ current, (ii) decreases the input conductance of the cell, presumably as a result of a decrease in the K+ current, and (iii) increases the amount of transmitter released by terminals of the sensory cell onto follower neurons.

The activation state of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase(s)(ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) is transiently increased 2-fold as a function of G1 progression in mitotically synchronized Chinese hamster ovary cells. The cellular content of type I kinase increases concomitantly with the increase in general protein, whereas the activity of type II kinase increases as a function of time in G1 to a maximum at the G1/S border. In contrast, in the presence of dibutyryl-cyclic AMP, there is a decrease of type II kinase and a several-fold increase of type I kinase. In proliferating cells, the ratio of type I to type II was 0.37, while in the dibutyryl-cyclic AMP growth-arrested cells it was 3.96. The increase in type II kinase during G1 transition and the increase in type I kinase during dibutyryl-cyclic AMP treatment were dependent on protein synthesis. A similar pattern of type I and type II kinase expression during cell cycle progression occurred in Rat-1 fibroblasts and Rat-1 cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus. The inclusion of dibuityryl-cyclic AMP in the growth media promoted a marked increase in type I holoenzyme, which was inhibited by cycloheximide, and a decrease in type II kinase. Neither AMP nor sodium butyrate had any effect on cellular kinase levels, whereas 8-bromo-cyclic AMP mimicked the action of dibutyryl-cyclic AMP. Estimation of half-lives for the kinase types showed that there was little turnover of either type during normal G1 progression, rapid turnover of both types as cells exited from mitosis, and selective turnover of type II upon addition of dibutyryl-cyclic AMP.

A cDNA clone for the type I regulatory subunit (RI) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was isolated from bovine testis by a differential screening method. mRNA coding for RI was enriched 50- to 100-fold by polysome immunoadsorption chromatography with affinity-purified rabbit anti-RI and protein A-Sepharose. Poly(A)+ RNA from these polysomes was utilized to construct a cDNA library in pBR322, and this library was screened for hybridization to 32P-labeled cDNAs synthesized from either total or RI-enriched poly(A)+ RNA. Plasmids isolated from colonies showing preferential hybridization to the latter probe were further characterized by hybrid selection and DNA sequence analysis. One of these plasmids (designated 62C12) contains a 1,350-nucleotide insert that hybridized to RI mRNA; partial nucleotide sequence analysis confirmed its identity and indicated that it may contain the entire RI coding region. We also have identified a recombinant plasmid with a 1,550-nucleotide insert that selected through hybridization a mRNA coding for a 55,000-dalton protein that crossreacts with anti-RI antibodies. The function of this latter protein is unknown.

Incubation of C6 glioma cells with isoproterenol elicits an increase in cyclic AMP content, followed by an activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37). The cytoplasm of these glioma cells contains type II protein kinase and a small amount of cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase. Following the persistent activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, catalytic subunits of this enzyme redistribute into particulate fractions. A maximal increase in nuclear protein kinase activity occurrs 45 to 60 min following isoproterenol. The addition of cyclic AMP or of Ca2+ with or without the specific ionophore A-23187 fails to increase the protein kinase activity of nuclei from control or isoproterenol-treated cells. Preincubation of the cells with vinblastine blocks the increase of nuclear protein kinase activity due to isoproterenol. If the incubation with vinblastine occurs simultaneously with isoproterenol, vinblastine fails to reduce the increase in nuclear protein kinase activity elicited by isoproterenol.

Sarcomplasmic reticulum from rabbit fast skeletal muscle contains intrinsic protein kinase activity (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) and a substrate. The protein kinase activity was Mg2+ dependent and could also phosphorylate exogenous protein substrates. Autophosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was not stimulated by cyclic AMP, neither was it inhibited by the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor protein. The phosphorylated membranes had the characteristics of a protein with a phosphoester bond. An average of 73 pmol Pi/mg protein were incorporated in 10 min at 30 degrees C. Addition of exogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase increased the endogenous level of phosphorylation by 25-100%. Sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane phosphorylation, mediated by either endogenous cyclic AMP-independent or exogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, occurred on a 100 000 dalton protein and both enzyme activities resulted in enhanced calcium uptake and Ca2+-dependent ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3), in a manner similar to cardiac microsomal preparations. Regulation of Ca2+ transport in skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum may be mediated by phosphorylation of a 100 000 dalton component of these membranes.
