Stimulation of secretion in exocrine cells by agonists involving cAMP as second messenger is associated with the phosphorylation of a specific membrane-associated 22.4-kDa protein (protein III) (Jahn et al.). Here it is shown by subcellular fractionation of rat parotid gland lobules that protein III is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. The submicrosomal fractions containing protein III, also contain the ATP-dependent microsomal calcium pump activity. Protein III in microsomal subfractions can be phosphorylated in vitro with catalytic subunit from cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylated protein III contains exclusively P-serine. Protein III can be removed from ER-membranes with acid chloroform-methanol or Triton X-114, but not by high salt wash indicating that it is tightly associated with the membranes. Protein III is smaller than phospholamban and, in contrast to phospholamban, resistant to heating in SDS. A relationship between phosphorylation of protein III and microsomal calcium sequestration is discussed.

Calcium efflux and EGTA-induced calcium release from an internal platelet membrane fraction have been studied after the oxalate-supported calcium uptake had reached steady state. Increasing external calcium concentrations stimulate the calcium efflux velocity, with an apparent half-maximal stimulation at about 5 microM outside calcium concentration and a maximal velocity of calcium efflux of 4.66 +/- 2.32 nmol X min-1 X mg-1. Moreover, the ratio of the liberated calcium on the loaded calcium seems to be independent of the increasing external calcium concentration. Increasing the calculated internal calcium concentration by varying the oxalate potassium concentration from 10 mM to 1 mM results in an increase of the liberated calcium from the membrane vesicles from 7.4% to 63%, respectively, without changing the calcium efflux velocity. Similar conclusions can be drawn from the observation of results from the calcium efflux and EGTA-induced calcium release methods. Moreover, calcium pump reversal does not seem to be responsible for the calcium efflux or calcium release. All these different points added to the previously described regulation of calcium efflux by the catalytic subunit of cAMP protein kinase suggest us that the mechanism of calcium liberation by the platelet membranes is different from the calcium uptake.

Muscular contraction is triggered by the increase in free calcium concentration and modulated by cyclic nucleotide-dependent phosphorylation. Beside a direct trigger of sarcomeric muscle contraction through binding of troponin C, calcium ions trigger or modulate contractility through calcium-calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinases, and increase the rate of relaxation through the calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of phospholamban, the activator of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump. In both cases, a concerted regulation by calcium and cyclic nucleotides is observed. Hyperactivation of the calcium pump is brought about by additional phosphorylation of phospholamban by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Similarly myofibrillar myosin light chain kinases from smooth and skeletal muscles are substrates of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The calmodulin-dependent protein kinases are probably organized into supramolecular regulatory complexes.

The underlying mechanism of Ca2+ uptake function of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was investigated in the rat septic shock model produced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The results are as follows. During the early phase of sepsis, the initial rate of ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake by SR was decreased, while both the capacity of Ca2+ uptake and the activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase were unaffected. In the late sepsis, the impairment in SR function was even greater as the initial rate and the capacity of Ca2+ uptake by SR were significantly decreased, and this was paralleled by a reduction in Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. Although Ca2+ affinity (Km value) to calcium pump and the A0.5 values for Mg2+ and ATP activation on the Ca2+ uptake rate were unchanged, during sepsis the phosphorylation of SR vesicles by adding of catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), calmodulin, or the fragment of PKC into Ca2+ uptake buffer, failed to stimulate Ca2+ uptake activities of SR isolated from early or late septic rats. These data suggest that depression of cardiac SR function is aggravated as sepsis develops, the impairment of SR Ca2+ uptake is possibly based on a mechanism of defective phosphorylation of SR rather than the ionic and energic regulatory actions of Ca2+, Mg2+, ATP on cardiac SR.

We investigated the effects of the nonionic detergent octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E8) on the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump in cardiac microsomes in view of its specific effects on different ATP-accelerated steps in the catalytic cycle of the Ca-ATPase in leaky fast skeletal muscle microsomes. At low concentrations of MgATP2- (< 2.5 microM), a nonsolubilizing concentration of added C12E8 (15 microM) increased apparent Vmax(MgATP) of oxalate-facilitated calcium uptake associated with MgATP2- binding to the high affinity catalytic site. An ATP induced acceleration of calcium uptake, attributable to regulatory nucleotide binding, was seen between 2 and 3 microM MgATP2- in both C12E8-treated and control microsomes. These effects of C12E8 are similar to those seen previously with trypsin treatment of microsomes [Lu, Y.-Z., Xu, Z.-C., & Kirchberger, M.A. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 3105-3111]. However, at a saturating Ca2+ between 3 and 10 microM MgATP2-, C12E8 produced a greater reduction in the magnitude of the ATP-induced acceleration of calcium uptake seen with trypsin. At 1 mM MgATP2-, C12E8 and trypsin as well as protein kinase A-catalyzed microsomal phosphorylation all increased the Ca2+ affinity of the pump, but only the latter two treatments significantly increased apparent Vmax(Ca). In fact in trypsin-treated and phosphorylated microsomes, C12E8 reduced Vmax(Ca) to close to the control values; it reduced Vmax(Ca) only slightly in control microsomes. Under our experimental conditions, comparable effects of 15 microM C12E8 on calcium uptake were absent in fast skeletal muscle microsomes, which lack phospholamban.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional relationship between phospholamban and the nucleotide site of the calcium pump protein of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. We used control and trypsin-treated cardiac microsomes in which cleavage of the inhibitory cytoplasmic domain of phospholamban is associated with an activation of the calcium pump similar to that produced by protein kinase A catalyzed phospholamban phosphorylation. Phenylglyoxal was shown to inactivate the calcium pump in a pseudo-first-order reaction by binding to a single Arg at the nucleotide binding site. No differences upon trypsin treatment of microsomes were observed in the kinetics of phenylglyoxal inactivation or the ability of millimolar ATP to protect against inactivation. In subsequent kinetic studies, Ca-uptake rates measured at saturating Ca2+ and 5 microM-1 mM MgATP2- were increased 15-32% by trypsin treatment in each of three different microsome preparations. Double-reciprocal plots of the data showed marked downward curvature indicating an acceleratory effect associated with ligand binding to a lower affinity site. At 0.32 microM Ca2+, Ca-uptake rates were lower than at 11 microM Ca2+ but were stimulated to a greater extent by trypsin treatment; control microsomes showed reduced evidence of apparent negative cooperativity. At 0-2 microM MgATP2- and saturating Ca2+, there was a 50% increase in Vmax(app) when the Hill coefficient (N) was 1. At 0-10 microM MgATP2-, second-site binding was evident. At both 0-10 microM and 5 microM-1 mM MgATP2-, trypsin-treated microsomes showed greater activation of Ca uptake attributable to second-site binding than did control microsomes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Calcium-saturated calmodulin (CaM) can bind and activate many target proteins through the direct association with the respective autoinhibitory domains. The CaM binding sequences within the autoinhibitory domains of these proteins have little sequence homology, and the mechanisms associated with CaM's ability to recognize and productively bind with these variable sequences is unclear. Common structural features of CaM bound to five peptides that are homologous to the autoinhibitory domains of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase, CaM-dependent protein kinase II alpha, the plasma membrane Ca-ATPase, a MARCKS homolog, and glycogen phosphorylase kinase were assessed using frequency-domain fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, the structural features of CaM complexed with the peptide melittin was also considered. We observe similar decreases in the average fluorescence lifetime and similar increases in the solvent accessibility of N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide (PM) bound at Cys27 in calcium binding loop I in the amino terminal domain of CaM upon association with all six target peptides. Likewise, using fluorescence resonance energy transfer to measure the spatial separation between the opposing globular domains in CaM, we observe a similar spatial separation between the opposing globular domains of CaM bound to all six peptides. This indicates that CaM undergoes comparable structural changes upon association with all six target peptides. However, there are significant differences in the observed lifetime, solvent accessibility, correlation time associated with the segmented rotational motion of PM-CaM, and in the spatial separation between the opposing globular domains in CaM upon association with the individual target peptides, which indicates that CaM adopts a different tertiary structure that is dependent on the structural features of the bound target peptide. The correlation times associated with the overall hydrodynamic properties of CaM complexed with all six peptides are nearly identical (phi 2 approximately 10.6 +/- 0.4 ns) and are consistent with the known dimensions of CaM complexed to a peptide homologous to the CaM binding sequence of CaM-dependent protein kinase II alpha. Therefore, while these results are consistent with a common binding mechanism between CaM and all six target peptides, they indicate that the binding domains of CaM adopt different tertiary structures that allow them to bind with the variable sequences found in the autoinhibitory domains of target proteins with high affinity.

Regulation of calcium transport by sarcoplasmic reticulum provides increased cardiac contractility in response to beta-adrenergic stimulation. This is due to phosphorylation of phospholamban by cAMP-dependent protein kinase or by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, which activates the calcium pump (Ca2+-ATPase). Recently, direct phosphorylation of Ca2+-ATPase by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase has been proposed to provide additional regulation. To investigate these effects in detail, we have purified Ca2+-ATPase from cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum using affinity chromatography and reconstituted it with purified, recombinant phospholamban. The resulting proteoliposomes had high rates of calcium transport, which was tightly coupled to ATP hydrolysis (approximately 1.7 calcium ions transported per ATP molecule hydrolyzed). Co-reconstitution with phospholamban suppressed both calcium uptake and ATPase activities by approximately 50%, and this suppression was fully relieved by a phospholamban monoclonal antibody or by phosphorylation either with cAMP-dependent protein kinase or with calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. These effects were consistent with a change in the apparent calcium affinity of Ca2+-ATPase and not with a change in Vmax. Neither the purified, reconstituted cardiac Ca2+-ATPase nor the Ca2+-ATPase in longitudinal cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was a substrate for calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, and accordingly, we found no effect of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation on Vmax for calcium transport.

Calcium ions (Ca2+) are involved in the regulation of many cellular activities. The Ca-ATPase(s) of the plasma membrane and of the endoplasmic reticulum play an important role in controlling the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Therefore, it is not unexpected that these enzymes are modulated by different factors. The activity of the plasma membrane Ca-ATPase is modified by the amount of negatively charged phospholipids surrounding the enzyme. The regulation of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase depends on the phosphorylation of phospholamban by cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinase. These two different Ca2+ transport ATPases are present in both visceral and vascular smooth muscle, but tissue- and species-dependent differences in their relative amount have been observed. In this article we will review the characteristics of Ca-ATPases of the smooth muscle.

In the adult myocardium the Ca2+ uptake and release functions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) are known to be regulated by a membrane-associated Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) which phosphorylates the Ca2+-pumping ATPase (Ca2+ pump), Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor) and the Ca2+ pump-regulatory protein, phospholamban. The role of CaM kinase during development, however, has not been examined previously. The present study investigated the ontogenetic expression of SR-associated CaM kinase in the rabbit myocardium as well as development-related changes in CaM kinase-mediated phosphorylation of the SR proteins (Ca2+ pump, Ca2+ release channel and phospholamban) involved in transmembrane Ca2+ cycling. For these experiments, cardiac muscle homogenate and SR-enriched membrane fraction derived from fetal (21- and 28-days gestation), newborn (2 days postnatal) and adult New Zealand White rabbits were used. Western immunoblotting analysis detected the presence of phospholamban, Ca2+ pump and Ca2+ release channel in homogenate and SR at all ages tested. The amount of these proteins in the SR increased substantially during fetal and postnatal development. Phosphorylation studies revealed the presence of CaM kinase-dependent phosphorylation of the Ca2+ pump, Ca2+ release channel and phospholamban as early as 21-days gestation. This phosphorylation could be elicited with the addition of only Ca2+ and calmodulin indicating the presence of a SR-associated CaM kinase as early as 21-days gestation. This was confirmed using a delta-CaM kinase II-specific antibody. Phosphorylation per unit amount of each substrate was greater in the fetus and newborn compared to adult. Phosphorylation of phospholamban could be elicited by exogenous cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) at all developmental stages studied. Activation of SR CaM kinase with Ca2+ and calmodulin, or induction of phospholamban phosphorylation by exogenous PKA, resulted in stimulation of the Ca2+ uptake activity of SR in fetal, newborn and adult heart. These results demonstrate early ontogenetic expression of the Ca2+ cycling proteins and CaM kinase in the SR and the concurrent development of phosphorylation-dependent regulation of SR Ca2+ cycling.
