The initiation of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication is regulated by the phosphorylation state of the viral initiator protein, large T antigen. We describe the purification from HeLa cell nuclei of a 35-kDa serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates T antigen at sites that are phosphorylated in vivo and thereby inhibits its ability to initiate SV40 DNA replication. The inhibition of both origin unwinding and DNA replication by the kinase is reversed by protein phosphatase 2A. As determined by molecular weight, substrate specificity, autophosphorylation, immunoreactivity, and limited sequence analysis, this kinase appears to be identical to casein kinase I, a ubiquitous serine/threonine protein kinase that is closely related to a yeast kinase involved in DNA metabolism. The HeLa cell phosphorylation cycle that controls the initiation of SV40 DNA replication may also play a role in cellular DNA metabolism.

We identified a serine/threonine protein kinase that is associated with and phosphorylates phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase). The serine kinase phosphorylates both the 85- and 110-kDa subunits of PtdIns 3-kinase and purifies with it from rat liver and immunoprecipitates with antibodies raised to the 85-kDa subunit. Tryptic phosphopeptide maps indicate that p85 from polyomavirus middle T-transformed cells is phosphorylated in vivo at three sites phosphorylated in vitro by the associated serine kinase. The 85-kDa subunit of PtdIns 3-kinase is phosphorylated in vitro on serine at a stoichiometry of approximately 1 mol of phosphate per mol of p85. This phosphorylation results in a three- to sevenfold decrease in PtdIns 3-kinase activity. Dephosphorylation with protein phosphatase 2A reverses the inhibition. This suggests that the association of protein phosphatase 2A with middle T antigen may function to activate PtdIns 3-kinase.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes ELM1, ELM2, and ELM3 were identified on the basis of the phenotype of constitutive cell elongation. Mutations in any of these genes cause a dimorphic transition to a pseudohyphal growth state characterized by formation of expanded, branched chains of elongated cells. Furthermore, elm1, elm2, and elm3 mutations cause cells to grow invasively under the surface of agar medium. S. cerevisiae is known to be a dimorphic organism that grows either as a unicellular yeast or as filamentous cells termed pseudohyphae; although the yeast-like form usually prevails, pseudohyphal growth may occur during conditions of nitrogen starvation. The morphologic and physiological properties caused by elm1, elm2, and elm3 mutations closely mimic pseudohyphal growth occurring in conditions of nitrogen starvation. Therefore, we propose that absence of ELM1, ELM2, or ELM3 function causes constitutive execution of the pseudohyphal differentiation pathway that occurs normally in conditions of nitrogen starvation. Supporting this hypothesis, heterozygosity at the ELM2 or ELM3 locus significantly stimulated the ability to form pseudohyphae in response to nitrogen starvation. ELM1 was isolated and shown to code for a novel protein kinase homolog. Gene dosage experiments also showed that pseudohyphal differentiation in response to nitrogen starvation is dependent on the product of CDC55, a putative B regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A, and a synthetic phenotype was observed in elm1 cdc55 double mutants. Thus, protein phosphorylation is likely to regulate differentiation into the pseudohyphal state.

Okadaic acid (2 nM) inhibited by 80-90% the protein phosphatase activities in diluted extracts of rat liver, human fibroblasts, and Xenopus eggs acting on three substrates (high mobility group protein-I(Y), caldesmon and histone H1) phosphorylated by a cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) suggesting that a type-2A phosphatase was responsible for dephosphorylating each protein. This result was confirmed by anion exchange chromatography of rat liver and Xenopus extracts, which demonstrated that the phosphatases acting on these substrates coeluted with the two major species of protein phosphatase 2A, termed PP2A1 and PP2A2. When matched for activity toward glycogen phosphorylase, PP2A1 was five- to sevenfold more active than PP2A2 and 35-fold to 70-fold more active than the free catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) toward the three CDK-labeled substrates. Protein phosphatases 1, 2B, and 2C accounted for a negligible proportion of the activity toward each substrate under the assay conditions examined. The results suggest that PP2A1 is the phosphatase that dephosphorylates a number of CDK substrates in vivo and indicate that the A and B subunits that are associated with PP2Ac in PP2A1 accelerate the dephosphorylation of CDK substrates, while suppressing the dephosphorylation of most other proteins. The possibility that PP2A1 activity is regulated during the cell cycle is discussed.

The Ca2+ release channel of rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) can be phosphorylated by membrane associated protein kinase(s) utilizing endogenously synthesized or exogenously added ATP. The channel protein has been enriched in non-phosphorylated and phosphorylated form from heavy SR following solubilization with CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio-1-propane-sulfonate) and ultracentrifugation on a linear sucrose/CHAPS gradient. Reconstitution of the isolated channels into planar bilayers shows that phosphorylation enhances the open probability by increasing the sensitivity towards micromolar Ca2+ and ATP. The phosphorylation induced enhancement of the channel activity can be reversed by purified protein phosphatase 2A.

Casein kinase I is an acidotropic protein kinase class that is widely distributed among eukaryotic cell types. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the casein kinase I isoform encoded by the gene pair YCK1 and YCK2 is a 60- to 62-kDa membrane-associated form. The Yck proteins perform functions essential for growth and division; either alone supports growth, but loss of function of both is lethal. We report here that casein kinase I-like activity is associated with a soluble Yck2-beta-galactosidase fusion protein in vitro and that thermolabile protein kinase activity is exhibited by a protein encoded by fusion of a temperature-sensitive yck2 allele with lacZ. Cells carrying the yck2-2ts allele arrest at restrictive temperature with multiple, elongated buds containing multiple nuclei. This phenotype suggests that the essential functions of the Yck proteins include roles in bud morphogenesis, possibly in control of cell growth polarity, and in cytokinesis or cell separation. Further, a genetic relationship between the yck2ts allele and deletion of CDC55 indicates that the function of Yck phosphorylation may be related to that of protein phosphatase 2A activity.

We previously reported that both the nuclear import rate of large karyophilic gold particles and the functional size of the pores are significantly greater in simian virus 40-transformed fibroblasts (the SV-T2 cell line) than in nontransformed BALB/c 3T3 cells. In this study, we found that cytosolic fractions obtained from SV-T2 cultures can increase nuclear transport capacity (both import rate and pore size) when microinjected into BALB/c 3T3 cells. The transport-enhancing function of the extracts can be abolished by the protein kinase inhibitors staurosporine and K252a as well as 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine and protein phosphatase 2A, which, although less specific, also interfere with kinase activity. Increases in transport capacity of the same magnitude as that produced by the SV-T2 extracts were obtained by microinjecting protein kinase A or C or recombinant mitogen-activated protein kinase. These data provide further support for the interpretation that the enhancer is a protein kinase. From experiments performed with specific kinase inhibitor peptides, it appears likely that protein kinase C is the active factor in the SV-T2 cytosolic fractions; however, this will require further verification. It was also determined, by using gold particles coated with bovine serum albumin conjugated to synthetic nuclear localization signal peptides that lacked phosphorylation sites, that the enhancer affects the transport machinery rather than the activity of the nuclear localization signals.

The partially purified myosin-bound phosphatase had an associated protein kinase that phosphorylated the holoenzyme, primarily on the large (130-kDa) subunit. Phosphorylation of the 130-kDa subunit resulted in inhibition of phosphatase activity. The major site of phosphorylation was threonine 654 of the 130-kDa subunit or threonine 695 of the 133-kDa isoform. Phosphorylation of the large subunit did not dissociate the holoenzyme. Dephosphorylation of the large subunit was achieved by the holoenzyme, and addition of the catalytic subunit of the type 2A enzyme did not increase the rate of dephosphorylation. The associated kinase was inhibited by chelerythrine, with half-maximal inhibition at approximately 5 microM (in 150 microM ATP). The associated kinase phosphorylated two synthetic peptides, one corresponding to the sequence flanking the phosphorylated threonine, i.e. 648-661 of the 130-kDa subunit, and the other to a known protein kinase C substrate, i.e. a modified sequence from the autoinhibitory region of epsilon protein kinase C. The associated kinase was activated by arachidonic and oleic acid and to a lesser extent by myristic acid. The protein kinase that phosphorylated the 130-kDa subunit and resulted in inhibition of myosin phosphatase activity was not identified.

In order to determine the mechanism for delayed increase in Fructose 2,6-P2 in livers of refed rats, the time course of changes in various metabolites upon refeeding NIH or high sucrose diet was investigated. Kinetics of increase in Fructose 2,6-P2 and Xylulose 5-P were similar but different from hexose 6-P or glycogen in the livers of 48 h starved rats refed with NIH diet. The increase in the Fructose 2,6-P2 level was a result of a combination of changes in Fructose 6-P,2-kinase and Fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase activity ratios, indicating dephosphorylation of the bifunctional enzyme and decreased cAMP. A similar correlation between Fructose 2,6-P2 and Xylulose 5-P and dephosphorylation was observed with refeeding high sucrose diet and also with 16 h starved rats. These kinetic results are consistent with the idea that a specific protein phosphatase 2A, activated by Xylulose 5-P, dephosphorylates Fructose 6-P,2-kinase:Fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase and also decreased protein kinase A activity, resulting in increased hepatic Fructose 2,6-P2.

Treatment of quiescent Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts with serum, or with the phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and vanadate, induced a 2- to 11-fold activation of the serine/ threonine RAC protein kinase (RAC-PK). Kinase activation was accompanied by decreased mobility of RAC-PK on SDS/PAGE such that three electrophoretic species (a to c) of the kinase were detected by immunoblot analysis, indicative of differentially phosphorylated forms. Addition of vanadate to arrested cells increased the RAC-PK phosphorylation level 3-to 4-fold. Unstimulated RAC-PK was phosphorylated predominantly on serine, whereas the activated kinase was phosphorylated on both serine and threonine residues. Treatment of RAC-PK in vitro with protein phosphatase 2A led to kinase inactivation and an increase in electrophoretic mobility. Deletion of the N-terminal region containing the pleckstrin homology domain did not affect RAC-PK activation by okadaic acid, but it reduced vanadate-stimulated activity and also blocked the serum-induced activation. Deletion of the serine/threonine rich C-terminal region impaired both RAC-PKalpha basal and vanadate-stimulated activity. Studies using a kinase-deficient mutant indicated that autophosphorylation is not involved in RAC-PKalpha activation. Stimulation of RAC-PK activity and electrophoretic mobility changes induced by serum were sensitive to wortmannin. Taken together the results suggest that RAC-PK is a component of a signaling pathway regulated by phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, whose action is required for RAC-PK activation by phosphorylation.
