In human erythrocytes, dibutyryl cyclic AMP induces the phosphorylation of protein 4.1 on sites within the adjacent 16 kDa and 10 kDa chymotryptic domains (Horne, W.C., Leto, T.L. and Marchesi, V.T. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 9073-9076). The 10 kDa domain also contains the spectrin/actin-binding site (Correas, I., Leto, T.L., Speicher, D.W. and Marchesi, V.T. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 3310-3315) and it has been shown that phosphorylation of protein 4.1 by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase inhibits the binding of protein 4.1 to spectrin and actin (Ling, E., Danilov, Y.N. and Cohen, C.M. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 2209-2216). In this study, we have identified two sites on protein 4.1 which account for 80% of the phosphate incorporated into protein 4.1 during metabolic labelling of erythrocytes in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP. More than 95% of the 32P incorporated into protein 4.1 was in the form of phosphoserine. Reverse-phase HPLC of the peptides generated by digestion of the isolated protein with trypsin or endoproteinase lysine C produced two major radioactive peaks. The phosphorylation sites, identified by gas phase sequencing of the purified phosphopeptides and confirmed by determining the residues converted to S-ethylcysteine by reacting the phosphopeptides with ethanethiol under alkaline conditions, were Ser-331, in the 16 kDa domain and Ser-467, in the 10 kDa domain.

Two forms of the regulatory subunit of the type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase (RII55 and RII52) were identified from bovine heart by gel electrophoretic behaviour. After autophosphorylation the RII55 isoform migrated more slowly (RII55/57) while the migration of RII52 isoform did not shift. Both isoforms showed different affinity for cAMP. The RII55/57 isoform was eluted from a cAMP-agarose column at 10 mM cAMP at low ionic strength whereas the RII52 isoform required cAMP, plus 2M NaCl. Partial proteolysis, using trypsin or formic acid, of autophosphorylated regulatory subunit isoforms resulted in different cleavage pattern as determined by peptide mapping. However, the V8 125I-peptides patterns of both isoforms are quite similar. Incubation of partially purified holoenzyme with 10 nM [gamma-32P]ATP (low ATP concentration) yielded a single band of Mr = 57,000 which corresponds to the RII55/57 isoform. The incubation, however, at 20 microM [gamma-32P]ATP yielded two phosphobands corresponding to both RII55/57 and RII52 isoforms. The phosphorylation of RII52 took place with a lower efficiency and was more sensitive to the cAMP than the corresponding phosphorylation of the RII55/57.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 3-kinase catalyses the phosphorylation of InsP3 to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4). InsP3 3-kinase activity was stimulated by Ca2+ in the presence of calmodulin (CaM) and the protein was associated with two silver-stained bands which migrated with an apparent Mr of approx. 50,000 on SDS/polyacrylamide gels. Upon limited proteolysis with trypsin, the native InsP3 3-kinase was converted into polypeptides of Mr 44,000 and 36,000. Both tryptic fragments displayed InsP3 3-kinase activity that was Ca2+/CaM-sensitive. A cDNA clone, C5, that encodes the C-terminal part of the InsP3 3-kinase, was isolated by immunoscreening of a rat brain cDNA library. The 5' end of this clone was used in turn to probe the same library, yielding a clone (CP16) containing the entire coding sequence of InsP3 3-kinase. The encoding protein of 459 amino acids (calculated Mr 50,868) has several putative phosphorylation sites for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C and CaM-dependent protein kinase II. When clone C5 was expressed in Escherichia coli, the truncated fusion protein showed Ca2+/CaM-sensitive InsP3 3-kinase activity. Our data demonstrate that the N-terminal part of the protein is not essential for either enzymic or CaM-regulatory properties.

We have examined the synthesis of the protease inhibitors alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-AT) and alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (alpha 1-ACHY) by variants of the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. Spent medium from MCF-7 203P cells, grown in the absence of serum, was found to contain immunoreactive alpha 1-AT and alpha 1-ACHY by Western blotting. In the presence of 10(-8) M estradiol, levels of both inhibitors were increased 3- to 6-fold. Incubation of spent medium with [125I]trypsin or [125I]chymotrypsin resulted in the formation of stable 75- and 90-kDa complexes identical to the complexes formed between these proteases and the protease inhibitors in plasma, showing the release of active protease inhibitors by MCF-7 cells in culture. Immunoprecipitation of 35S-labeled proteins from the medium of cells grown in the presence of [35S]methionine yielded comparable results, confirming hormonally sensitive synthesis of both protease inhibitors. Northern blot analysis suggests that stimulation of estradiol occurs at the level of transcription. Tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (50 ng/ml) also stimulated alpha 1-AT and alpha 1-ACHY synthesis 2- to 4-fold, suggesting the involvement of protein kinase-C. Comparison studies with MCF-7 cell sublines ML, BK, 203P, and 300P (a variant spontaneously appearing after 100 passages of 203P) show a wide variation in synthesis of alpha 1-AT and alpha 1-ACHY proteins; sublines 203P and 300P synthesize both inhibitors, the ML subline synthesizes detectable amounts only of alpha 1-ACHY, while no detectable synthesis of either inhibitor was seen in the BK subline. Similar results were obtained for protease inhibitor mRNA transcription by Northern blotting, although low levels of alpha 1-AT mRNA transcription by the ML subline and of alpha 1-AT and alpha 1-ACHY mRNA transcription by the BK subline could be detected.

Vertebrate photoreceptor cells contain a soluble phosphoprotein, phosducin, which complexes with the beta, gamma subunits of the GTP-binding protein, transducin. Light-induced changes in cyclic nucleotide levels modulate the phosphorylation of phosducin by protein kinase A. The complete amino acid sequence of purified phosducin from bovine retinas was determined by Edman degradation from overlapping polypeptides derived from enzymatic digestion by trypsin and Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease or from chemical degradation by cyanogen bromide. Excluding the unidentified group which blocks the NH2 terminus, phosducin contains 245 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 28,185 and isoelectric point of pH 4.5. Phosducin is enriched with acidic and sulfur-containing amino acids, having 32 glutamic acid, 16 aspartic acid, 9 methionine, and 5 cysteine residues. It also contains 24 serine and 8 threonine residues, of which only serine 73 is located within a consensus phosphorylation sequence (-RKMS(P)QV-) for cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinase. Secondary structure analysis predicts the presence of 62% alpha-helix, 22% beta-sheet, and 16% random coil, with eight turns. Computer-aided searches of protein data banks revealed no apparent homology to any sequenced protein except that coded by a MEKA cDNA clone (Kuo, C-H., Akiyama, M., and Miki, N. (1989) Mol. Brain Res. 6, 1-10) which deviates from the confirmed phosducin sequence in the last 15 amino acids. Sequence analysis of a cDNA clone for bovine retinal phosducin confirmed that the MEKA clone deviation resulted from an unidentified cDNA guanosine nucleotide, a shifted reading frame and a premature stop codon.

Retroviral infection is associated with immunosuppression, which has been shown to be due, in part, to the action of the envelope protein p15E. We studied a synthetic peptide (CKS-17) homologous to a highly conserved domain of the retroviral envelope protein p15E, which, when conjugated to BSA (CKS-17-BSA), can inhibit IL-1- and phorbol ester-mediated responses in cultured murine thymoma cells, and Ca2(+)- and phosphatidylserine-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) activity of cell homogenates. We characterized the mechanism of inhibition of PKC by the peptide. Using PKC purified from rat brain we found that CKS-17-BSA inhibited PKC-catalyzed Ca2(+)- and phosphatidylserine-dependent histone phosphorylation with an estimated ID50 of 4 microM. CKS-17-BSA did not inhibit the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. CKS-17-BSA also inhibited the Ca2(+)- and PS-independent activity of a catalytic fragment of PKC that was generated by limited trypsin treatment. However, CKS-17-BSA did not act as a competitive inhibitor of PKC with respect to ATP or phosphoacceptor substrate, despite the similarity between the CKS-17 sequence and substrates and pseudosubstrates of PKC. We conclude that this peptide homologue of a retroviral envelope protein has a novel mechanism of inhibition of PKC.

New type of protease-activated form of protein kinase C was generated from rat liver plasma membrane by action of endogenous trypsin-like protease. The molecular mass was estimated to be about 80,000 by immunoblot analysis which was slightly smaller (approximately 2,000) than that of native protein kinase C. The protein kinase activity was 2-times stimulated by Ca2+ and phospholipid and inhibited by the synthetic peptide derived from the pseudosubstrate region of protein kinase C. This type of activated kinase was produced in purified enzyme system in the absence of either Ca2+ or phospholipid or both. These results suggest that limited proteolysis generating the active form of Mr 80,000 may occur on the inactive form of protein kinase C.

Complement factor C3, recently found to contain covalently bound phosphate, was phosphorylated in vitro by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) and Ca2(+)-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). Both protein kinases phosphorylated the same serine residue(s) located in the C3a portion of the alpha-chain. In addition, protein kinase C phosphorylated the beta-chain to a lesser extent. Protein kinase A gave a maximal incorporation of 1 mol of phosphate/mol of C3 while that value with protein kinase C was 1.5 mol of phosphate/mol of C3. The velocity in pmol of [32P]phosphate/(min x unit kinase) was 20 times higher for protein kinase C than for protein kinase A although a 10 times lower ratio of protein kinase to C3 was used in the former case. The apparent Km for C3 was 2.6 microM when protein kinase C was used. The phosphorylated C3 was found to be more resistant to partial degradation by trypsin than unphosphorylated C3. It was also found that phosphorylation of C3 in the C3a portion of the alpha-chain inhibited both the classical and alternative complement activation pathways on an approximately stoichiometric basis.

A role for second messenger-regulated protein kinases in the early post-IL-3 receptor signal transduction pathway was investigated in the mast cell/megakaryocyte line R6-XE.4. The activity of the calcium- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) was assessed by the ability of the enzyme to phosphorylate histone H1 in the presence of calcium, diacylglycerol, and phosphatidylserine or after proteolytic activation of PKC with trypsin. In high serum-supplemented cells, but not in cells that were preincubated in serum-deficient media for 6 h, subsequent treatment for 15 min with synthetic IL-3 (10 micrograms/ml) caused up to a sixfold increase in the calcium- and lipid-stimulated histone H1 phosphorylating activity of particulate-associated PKC after fractionation on MonoQ. However, there was no corresponding reduction of cytosolic PKC activity. Therefore, IL-3 appeared to modify the activity of preexisting membrane-associated PKC rather than eliciting its recruitment from the cytoplasm in R6-XE.4 cells. This was in contrast to the situation with FDC-P1 cells, where IL-3 induced PKC translocation. IL-3 also stimulated a cytosolic protein kinase that phosphorylated a synthetic peptide patterned after a phosphorylation site in ribosomal protein S6, but this IL did not alter the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Guinea pig ventricular myocytes were voltage-clamped and dialysed using two glass patch pipettes (P1, P2) with tip openings of around 2 microns. A substantial improvement in the efficacy of dialysis from P2 was achieved by the application of positive pressure (15-30 cm H2O) to P2, and similar negative pressure to P1. Evidence of enhanced dialysis was obtained by measuring the effect on Ca channel current of P2 dialysates containing Ca, cAMP, GTP [gamma-S], trypsin, or the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A. Times to maximum response were 3-5 times shorter than those calculated or observed by others using a single-pipette method. The speeding-up was verified in comparative experiments with 100 microM GTP [gamma-S] dialysates; maximum stimulation of ICa occurred after 1.3-1.8 min with the dual-pipette method, versus 8.2 min with a single pipette. Other advantages of the dual-pipette method include the option of following a control dialysis from P1 with a test dialysis from P2, and the measurement of actual membrane potential. The disadvantages are that the rate of success is lower than with single-pipette experiments, and that smaller cardiomyocytes are difficult subjects.
