Subcellular distribution of the enzymes related to the cellular action of antidiuretic hormone was studied in bovine renal medulla. The highest activity of vasopressin-stimulated adenylate cyclase was found in plasma membranes. The basal activity increased two times above homogenate while vasopressin-stimulated and NaF-stimulated activities both increased five times. Adenylate cyclase activity was present also in other particulate fractions, but it was not significantly stimulated by vasopressin. Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase was predominantly located in the cytosol when assayed with 0.5 mM cyclic AMP or with 5 muM cyclic AMP. However, with the latter concentration of cyclic AMP more activity remained associated with the particulate fractions and was more inhibited by theophylline. The highest cyclic AMP-stimulated protein kinase activity occurred in the cytosol. Protein kinase activity present in other subcellular fractions was not markedly stimulated by cyclic AMP. Protein phosphatase activity was highest in cytosol when assayed using 32P-histones, 32P-plasma membrane proteins, and 32P-cytoslic proteins. The activity was unaffected by 10-6M to 10-4M cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP. The activity was completely inhibited by 10mM ZnSO4 and 10mM CuSO4; 10mM NaF inhibited the activity by approximately 14%. The enzymes related to the cellular action of vasopressin are predominatly localized in the cytosol except for the vasopressin-sensitive adenylate cyclase which is plasma membrane bound. To mediate the effect of antidiuretic hormone and act on the luminal plasma membrane these soluble enzymes and their substrates should be compartmentalized, possibly by a system of cytoplasmic microtubules.

A regulatory role for adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) in the production of the renal hormone rythropoietin following erythropoietic stimulation with cobaltous chloride hexahydrate is proposed. Studies in rates reveal a temporal relationship between renal cyclic AMP levels and plasma titers of erythropoietin. In addition, cobalt increases the activity of an erythropoietin-generating enzyme (renal erythropoietic factor) with maximal enzyme activity occurring after the rise in cyclic AMP levels but before the increase in erythropoietin titers. This increase in renal cyclic AMP is localized to the renal cortex. Cobalt stimulates renal cortical adenylate cyclase but has no effect on renal cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. The addition of cyclic AMP (3 time 10-6 M) and a partially purified cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from rat kidney to an inactive preparation of renal erythropoietic factor increases the ability of renal erythropoietic factor to generate erythropoietin. Data from the polycythemic mouse assay, a bioassay used to quantitate erythropoietic activity of test substances, indicate that dibutyryl cyclic AMP is erythropoietically active with respect to its ability to increase radioactive-labelled iron (59Fe) incorporation into heme of newly formed red blood cells. Theophylline, which by itself is erythropoietically inactive, potentiated the erythropoietic effect of cobalt in polycythemic mice. These results suggest that cyclic AMP plays a significant role in the renal production of erythropoietin following cobalt administration. It is postulated that cobalt stimulates renal cortical adenyoate cyclase, thus increasing renal cyclic AMP levels. Cyclic AMP then activates a protein kinase which subsequently stimulates renal erythropoietic factor to generate erythropoietin. A similar cyclic AMP mechanism may be operative after erythropoietic stimulation by exposure to hypoxia or prostaglandin treatment.

Microtubules prepared from chick brain homogenates by successive cycles of assembly-disassembly were found to contain two high-molecular-weight proteins, designated microtubule-associated protein1 and microtubule-associated protein2. Microtubule-associated protein2 (apparent molecular weight 300,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) was the preferred substrate for an endogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase which appeared to be an integral component of the microtubules. The initial rate of phosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein2 was enhanced 4- to 6-fold by cyclic AMP, with half-maximal stimulation occurring at 2 times 10-7 M cyclic AMP. Under optimal conditions, a total of 1.0 and 1.9 mol of phosphate was incorporated per mole of microtubule-associated protein2, in the absence and presence of cyclic AMP, respectively. Cyclic AMP also stimulated the phosphorylation of tubulin, but the rate of phosphate incorporation per mol of tubulin was only 0.15% that of microtubule-associated protein2. The data raise the possibility that the cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein 2 may play a role in microtubule assembly or function.

Cyclic nucleotide-stimulable protein kinase (EC 1.7.1.37) has been studied in crude extracts from the central nervous system of the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae). The insect kinase was fulfhydryl-sensitive and required Mg-2+ for optimal activity. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of supernatants demonstrated the presence of multiple kinases in the larval nerve cord. At low concentrations, cyclic AMP was a much more potent activator of soluble and particulate activities than was cyclic GMP. The specific activity of coluble kinase and the magnitude of its activations by cyclic AMP were greater in the adult than in the larval central nervous system. The exogenous protein substrate specificity of the insect enzyme was similar to that of rat brain kinase with the sole exception that protamine was more readily phosphorylated than histone by nerve cord kinase. It was observed that cyclic AMP lowered the Km of Manduca sexta kinase for ATP, a phenomenon which is apparently nervous tissue=specific in mammals. An effective inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was prepared from the larval central nervous system.

Two tryptic phosphopeptides containing the sites on the alpha and beta subunits of phosphorylase kinase which are phosphorylated by protein kinase, dependent on adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP), have been isolated and their amino acid sequences have been determined. 32P-labelled phosphorylase kinase, containing 1.9 mol phosphate per mol enzyme, was digested with an equimolar quantity of trypsin for 2.5 min at pH 7.0, 20 degrees C. This treatment released nearly all the 32P radioactivity associated with the beta subunit as trichloroacetic-acid-soluble material. Only a small proportion of the 32P radioactivity associated with the alpha subunit was solubilised, the remainder being removed in the trichloroacetic acid pellet. The beta-subunit tryptic phosphopeptide was completely resolved from traces of the alpha-subunit phosphopeptide by gel filtration on Sephadex G-25. Further purification by peptide mapping separated the phosphopeptide into four components, each derived from the same nine-amino-acid segment of the betachain, which was found to possess the sequence: Gln-Ser-Gly-Ser(P)-Val-Ile-Tyr-Pro-Leu-Lys. The four components were produced by the partial cyclisation of the N-terminal glutaminyl residue, and by the presence of two alleles for the beta subunit in the rabbit population, which led to a valine-isoleucine ambiguity. The alpha-subunit phosphopeptide was liberated from the trichloroacetic acid pellet by redigestion with trypsin. It was the largest component in the digest which remained soluble in 5% trichloroacetic acid, and obtained in a highly purified form by a single filtration on Sephadex G-50. The peptide comprised 39 amino acids of which nine were serine and three were threonine residues. Only one residue, the serine at position three from the amino terminus, was phosphorylated. The amino-terminal sequence of the peptide was shown to be: Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser-Glx-Pro-Asx-Gly. The sequences confirm the stoichiometry of the reaction and the absolute specificity of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase for just two of the 200 serine residues in the enzyme. These results and an inspection of the rate of phosphorylation of a number of skeletal muscle proteins, including each enzyme of the glycolytic pathway, lead to the conclusion that cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase is an extremely specific enzyme. The molecular basis of this specificity is discussed.

Evidence is presented that modulation of the maximum velocity of a particulate low K-m cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) phosphodiesterase by thyroid hormones is one mechanism for the regulation of the responsiveness of rat epididymal adipocytes to lipolytic agents such as epinephrine and glucagon. Fat cells of propylthiouracil-induced hypothyroid rats are unresponsive to lipolytic agents and the V-max of particulate low K-m cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase of these cells is elevated above normal. In vivo treatment of hypothyroid rats with triiodothyronine restores to control values both the lipolytic response of the fat cells to epinephrine and the V-max of the particulate bound low K-m cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. No similar correlation is found with the soluble high K-m cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. The phosphodiesterases of fat cells from normal and hypothyroid rats respond identically in vitro to propylthiouracil, triiodothyronine, methylisobutylxanthine, or theophylline, although the particulate low K-m cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase is inhibited to a greater extent than soluble cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase activity. Protein kinase of fat cells from hypothyroid rats can be stimulated by cyclic AMP to the same total activity as observed in fat cells of normal rats. However, less of the protein kinase in fat cells from hypothyroid rats was in the cyclic AMP-independent form. This shift in the equilibrium of protein kinase forms is consistent with an increased activity of low K-m cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and probably results from a lowering of the lipolytically significant pool of cyclic AMP.

Non-histone chromosomal proteins are phosphorylated and dephosphorylated within the intact nucleus by two independent sets of reactions, a protein kinase reaction which transfers the terminal phosphate group of a variety of nucleoside and deoxynucleoside triphosphates to serine and threonine residues in the proteins, and a phosphatase reaction which cleaves these phosphoserine and phosphothreonine bonds and releases inorganic phosphate. Several lines of evidence are consistent with the hypothesis that the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of these proteins is involved in gene control mechanisms, including the findings that phosphorylated non-histone proteins are highly heterogeneous and their phosphorylation patterns are tissue specific, changes in their phosphorylation correlate with changes in chromatin structure and gene acticity, addition of phosphorylated non-histone proteins increases RNA synthesis in vitro. and phosphorylated non-histone proteins bind specifically to DNA. Cyclic AMP has both stimulatory and inhibitory properties on non-histone protein phosphorylation, depending on the enzyme fraction and substrate employed A specific protein component whose phosphorylation is inhibited by cyclic AMP has been found to be associated with RNA polymerase. The cyclic AMP-induced decrease in the phosphorylation of this protein correlates with an enhancement of RNA synthesis in vitro. These results suggest that both phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of chromatin-associated proteins may be involved in the control of gene readout.

An adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase II (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was partially purified from the cytosol fraction of an exponentially growing culture of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Protein kinase II represented approximately 90% of the cytosolic protein kinase activity. The enzyme had a high degree of substrate specificity for calf thymus and Tetrahymena histones as compared to casein, protamine and phosvitin. The enzyme incorporated the terminal phosphate of ATP into serine and threonine residues of all the histone fractions. The apparent Km of the enzyme for adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) was 1-10-minus 8 M. Protein kinase II was also activated by other cyclic nucleotides with apparent Km values in the range 2.k-10-minus 6 M. Ther specific activity of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase of Tetrahymena decreases markedly from initial high values during the transition from the lag to early log phase of growth. This is followed by a shrp increase in the activity of the enzyme as the log phase of growth progresses. The specific activity of the enzyme increases rapidly during the heat-induced synchronization of Tetrahymena cells. The capacity for rapid phosphorylation of multiple classed of organelle-specific phosphoproteins and the level of cyclic AMP were maximal in Tetrahymena during the earliest phase of growth. These results demonstrate that the cell cycle of Tetrahymena may be coordinated by marked variations in the level of cyclic AMP which in turn regulate the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

An apparent enigma during platelet aggregation is that increased glycogenolysis occurs despite a fall in cyclic AMP levels; Activation by a classical cascade is therefore unlikely, and an alternative stimulus for phosphorylase a formation was sought. It was found that low levels of Ca-2+ markedly activate phosphorylase b kinase from human platelets, with a Ka of 0i muM Ca-2+, which is similar to that for the skeletal muscle enzyme; The kinase activity is unstable, and on enzyme ageing is a 50% loss in activity with the Ka decreasing to 0.33 muM Ca-2+. In unstilulated platelets, phosphorylase a was 13.3% of toal measured activity, and glycogen synthetase I was 32.3%. Aggregation induced by ADP did not change the percentage of I synthetase, while increasing that for phosphorylase a. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP did, as expected, increase the percentage of both phosphorylated enzymes; These findings suggest that the natural activator of platelet glycogenolysis during aggregation is Ca-2+, which directly stimulates phosphorylase b kinase without altering glycogen synthetase activity. The cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase does not appear to be involved;

In a previous publication the purification and properties of two protein kinases (KI and KII) from a soluble fraction of bovine corpus luteum and the stimulation of the latter fol. Chem. 248,494-501). We have now studied the effects oc cyclic AMP and luteinizing hormone on ribosomal protein phosphorylation of corpus luteum by protein kinase II. Protein kinase II catalyzed the phosphorylation of ribosomes by transfer of terminal phosphate of ATP to ribosomal proteinsmextraction with hot trichloroacetic acid and non-aqueous solvent revealed that about 80% of total radioactivity incorporated remain associated with the protein residue. Radioactivity was identified in the phosphoserine and phosphothreonine residues of polypeptides by high voltage paper electrophoresis; The extent of phosphorylation was stimulated by cyclic AMP but not by luteinizing hormonemat least 9 proteins of 80-S ribosomes and 12 proteins of the 60-S ribosomal subunit were phosphorylated in the presence of cyclic AMP as resolved by urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. However, only one major and four minor bands were phosphorylated in the ase of 40-S ribosomal subunit under the influence of cyclic AMP. The ribosomal protein phosphorylation catalyzed by protein kinase II is regulated by cyclic AMP wherease luteinizing hormone has no effect on ribosome phosphorylation.
