1. Giant fibres of the barnacle Balanus nubilus have been used as a preparation for studying the mode of action of cAMP on sodium transport. 2. It is shown that a concentration of cAMP as low as 10(-6)M, when micro-injected, causes a sharp rise in the radio-Na efflux. Ouabain fails to reverse the cAMP effect. 3. The magnitude of the response of the Na efflux to cAMP is markedly reduced by pre-injecting 100 or 500 mM-EGTA solutions or by omitting Ca2+ from the bathing medium. Both together fail to bring about a greater reduction in the response. 4. The response to cAMP is greatly reduced by pre-injecting the protein inhibitor of Walsh and practically abolished by pre-injecting 500 mM-EGTA and soaking in Ca-free artificial sea water, ASW. 5. The Ca2+-independent component of the Na efflux which is also stimulated by cAMP is shown to involve Na for H exchange. The magnitude of this exchange is governed by external pH. 6. The Na efflux into Ca2+-free, Li+-ASW is shown to be markedly stimulated by injecting cAMP, an effect which is enhanced by reducing external pH. 7. The Na efflux at 0 degrees C is stimulated by injecting cAMP. This is shown to be related to activation of the protein kinase by cAMP and to depend on the presence of external Ca2+. 8 (i) Ethacrynic acid when injected reduces the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux into HEPES-Ca2+-free ASW at pH 6-3. These same fibres show a marked response to cAMP. (II) The ouabain-insensitive Na efflux into HCO3-, Ca2+-free ASW from fibres pre-treated with ethacrynic acid fails to respond to external acidification. This is interpreted as indicating that ethacrynic acid inactivates the CO2-sensitive adenyl cyclase system. These same fibres when injected with cAMP show a marked response. (iii) Stimulation of the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux into HCO-3, Ca2+-free ASW by external acidification is reversed by injecting ethacrynic acid. These fibres when injected with cAMP show a reduced response. 9. It is concluded that: (i) stimulation of the Na efflux by injected cAMP is mainly due to activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase; (ii) the underlying exchange mechanism consists of Na:Ca and Na:H exchange. Interaction of Ca2+ with a phosphorylated membrane, thereby modifying permeability remains as a real possibility; (iii) the site of action of CO2 and ethacrynic acid is the adenyl cyclase system. 10. The implications of activation of the adenyl cyclase system by CO2 and Na:H exchange are briefly touched upon.

Bryophyllum fedtschenkoi is a Crassulacean acid metabolism plant whose phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase is regulated by reversible phosphorylation in response to a circadian rhythm. A partially purified protein kinase phosphorylated phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in vitro with a stoichiometry approaching one per subunit and caused a concomitant 5- to 10-fold decrease in the sensitivity of the carboxylase to inhibition by malate. The sites phosphorylated in vitro were identical to those phosphorylated in intact tissue. The activity of the protein kinase was controlled in a circadian fashion. During normal diurnal cycles, kinase activity appeared between 4 and 5 h after the onset of darkness and disappeared 2----3 h before the end of darkness. Kinase activity displayed circadian oscillations in constant environmental conditions. The activity of protein phosphatase 2A, which dephosphorylates phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, did not oscillate. Treatment of detached leaves with the protein synthesis inhibitors puromycin and cycloheximide blocked the nocturnal appearance of the protein kinase activity, maintained phosphoenolypyruvate carboxylase in the dephosphorylated state and blocked the circadian rhythms of CO2 output that is observed in constant darkness and CO2-free air. The simplest explanation of the data is that there is a circadian rhythm in the synthesis of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase.

We describe a method of culturing intact porcine thyroid follicles for physiological de novo thyroid hormone formation; the roles of cAMP and protein kinase-C in thyroid hormone formation were also studied. Thyroid follicles were obtained by digesting minced porcine thyroid tissue with 0.04% collagenase and cultured in Coon's Modified Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with 0.5% calf serum, 0.5 mU/ml TSH, other standard hormones, and 3 antibiotics (6H medium). On the fourth day of culture, 6000-8000 follicles/well were plated in 12-well culture dishes. On the sixth day, thyroid hormone formation was carried out by incubating thyroid follicles with 0.5 microM KI in the presence of 6H medium for 2 days in a 5% CO2-95% air incubator at 37 C. To examine the effects of cAMP and protein kinase-C on de novo thyroid hormone formation, follicles were incubated with KI in the presence of 1-2.5 mM (Bu)2cAMP, 10 microM forskolin, 2 microM prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), or 0.5-1 microM 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate in TSH-free medium for 2 days. The amount of newly formed thyroid hormone was measured by RIA of T3 content in the Pronase digest of thyroid follicular cells. Thyroid follicles cultured in 6H medium had normal polarity of the membrane, determined by electron microscope, and thyroid cAMP was responsive to the alteration of TSH. In this culture system cAMP alone was sufficient to form thyroid hormone. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, a protein kinase-C stimulator, disrupted thyroid follicles and inhibited cAMP-mediated thyroid hormone formation. The integrity of follicular structure was also required for thyroid hormone formation in this culture system. This study introduces perhaps the most physiological culture system for de novo thyroid hormone formation. Our data provide direct evidence that thyroid hormone formation is linked to cAMP and that the protein kinase-C system acts as an inhibitor of thyroid hormone formation.

The major phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 purified from rat liver, a member of family II of the cytochrome P-450 gene superfamily, is rapidly phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The phosphorylation reaches greater than 0.5 mol phosphate/mol P-450 after 5 min and is accompanied by a decrease in enzyme activity. The serine residue in position 128 was shown to be the sole phosphorylation site and a conformational change of the protein was indicated by a shift of the carbon monoxide difference spectrum of the reduced cytochrome from 450 to 420 nm. Comparison of amino acid sequences of various cytochrome P-450 families revealed a highly conserved arginine residue in the immediate vicinity of the phosphorylated serine residue which constitutes the kinase recognition sequence. It also revealed that only the members of the cytochrome P-450 family II carry this kinase recognition sequence. To find out whether this phosphorylation also occurs in vivo, the exchangeable phosphate pool of intact hepatocytes derived from phenobarbital-pretreated rats was labeled with 32Pi followed by an incubation of the cells with the membrane-permeating dibutyryl-cAMP or with the adenylate cyclase stimulator glucagon to activate endogenous kinase. As a result, a microsomal polypeptide with the same electrophoretic mobility as cytochrome P-450 became strongly labeled. Peptide mapping and immunoprecipitation with monospecific antibodies identified this protein as the major phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450. It becomes phosphorylated at the same serine residues as in the cell-free phosphorylation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Rat hearts perfused with 32Pi were made hypoxic by perfusion with medium gassed with N2/CO2 (19:1). There was a rapid decrease in tension development (25% of control within 40 s), but little change in the frequency of contraction, time to peak tension, or rate of relaxation. The phosphorylation of troponin-I, C-protein and myosin P-light chain was unaffected by 5 min of hypoxia, whereas the proportions of glycogen phosphorylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase in the active form increased slowly. When aerobically perfused hearts were challenged with a bolus (70 pmole) of D,L-isoprenaline, there was a large increase in contractile force, cyclic AMP concentration, phosphorylation of troponin-I and C-protein and activation of phosphorylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase. Hypoxia for 5 min caused a slight, progressive decrease in the response to isoprenaline of force, cyclic AMP and activation of phosphorylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase. In contrast, there was a larger decrease in the phosphorylation of troponin-I and C-protein, suggesting that the activity of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase towards the contractile proteins may be impaired by hypoxia. The phosphorylation of myosin P-light chain was unaltered by any condition. The response to hypoxia is compared to that of ischaemia, where a complete loss of the response to isoprenaline occurs after 5 min.

When intact spinach chloroplasts were supplied with [32P]Pi, stromal protein phosphorylation was found to occur in the dark. On illumination the thylakoid protein kinase was activated and the amount of label found in thylakoid proteins quickly exceeded that incorporated into stromal protein, such that the latter was found to account for only 10-15% of the total radioactivity bound to chloroplast proteins after 5 min illumination. The rate of phosphorylation of stromal polypeptides was unchanged by light. After SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, more than 15 labelled polypeptides of stromal origin were observed. A polypeptide with an Mr of approx. 70 000 had the highest specific activity of labelling. Both the large and small subunits of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase were phosphorylated. The level of phosphorylation of stromal protein was increased by CO2 fixation in intact chloroplasts. This increase was not observed in the absence of NaHCO3 or in the presence of the phosphoribulokinase inhibitor DL-glyceraldehyde. These effects appeared to be largely due to changes in the phosphorylation state of the large and small subunits of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase. Studies with the reconstituted chloroplast system showed that the thylakoid protein kinase(s) played no part in the phosphorylation of stromal protein. The rate and level of phosphorylation of stromal protein was unaffected by the activation state of the thylakoid protein kinase and was unchanged when thylakoids were omitted from the reaction medium. The phosphorylation of stromal proteins is therefore catalysed by a discrete soluble protein kinase.

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is an epithelial Cl- channel regulated by protein kinase A. The most common mutation in cystic fibrosis (CF), deletion of Phe-508 (delta F508-CFTR), reduces Cl- secretion, but the fatal consequences of CF have been difficult to rationalize solely in terms of this defect. The aim of this study was to determine the role of CFTR in HCO3- transport across cell membranes. HCO3- permeability was assessed from measurements of intracellular pH [pHi; from spectrofluorimetry of the pH-sensitive dye 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and -6)carboxyfluorescein] and of channel activity (patch clamp; cell attached and isolated, inside-out patches) on NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and C127 mammary epithelial cells transfected with wild-type CFTR (WT-CFTR) or delta F508-CFTR, and also on mock-transfected cells. When WT-CFTR-transfected cells were acidified (pulsed with NH4Cl) and incubated in Na(+)-free (N-methyl-D-glucamine substitution) solutions (to block Na(+)-dependent pHi regulatory mechanisms), pHi remained acidic (pH approximately 6.5) until the cells were treated with 20 microM forskolin (increases cellular [cAMP]); pHi then increased toward (but not completely to) control level (pHi 7.2) at a rate of 0.055 pH unit/min. Forskolin had no effect on rate of pHi recovery in delta F508 and mock-transfected cells. This Na(+)-independent, forskolin-dependent pHi recovery was not observed in HCO3-/CO2-free medium. Forskolin-treated WT-CFTR-transfected (but not delta F508-CFTR or mock-transfected) cells in Cl(-)-containing, HCO3(-)-free solutions showed Cl- channels with a linear I/V relationship and a conductance of 10.4 +/- 0.5 pS in symmetrical 150 mM Cl-. When channels were incubated with different [Cl-] and [HCO3-] on the inside and outside, the Cl-/HCO3- permeability ratio (determined from reversal potentials of I/V curves) was 3.8 +/- 1.0 (mean +/- SEM; n = 9); the ratio of conductances was 3.9 +/- 0.5 (at 150 mM Cl- and 127 mM HCO3-. We conclude that in acidified cells the WT-CFTR functions as a base loader by allowing a cAMP-dependent influx of HCO3- through channels that conduct HCO3- about one-quarter as efficiently as it conducts Cl-. Under physiological conditions, the electrochemical gradients for both Cl- and HCO3- are directed outward, so CFTR likely contributes to the epithelial secretion of both ions. HCO3- secretion may be important for controlling pH of the luminal, but probably not the cytoplasmic, fluid in CFTR-containing epithelia. In CF, a decreased secretion of HCO3- may lead to decreased pH of the luminal fluid.

We have examined the absorbance of a charge-transfer transition near 760 nm, known as band III, in several hemoproteins and heme complexes. The band III position correlates with the rate of carbon monoxide binding to the heme. A band III present at 760 nm indicates an unfavorable geometry of the heme for carbon monoxide binding; a red-shift of the band III to 765 nm indicates a less-constrained geometry of the heme as evidenced by higher carbon monoxide association rates. The band III position correlates well with the Raman frequency of the Fe-His(F8) bond as suggested previously for normal hemoglobin A [Sassaroli, M. & Rousseau, D. L. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 3092-3098]. Aplysia myoglobin and the chimeric heme protein kinase FixL from Bradyrhizobium japonicum, hemoproteins with an apolar residue in place of the highly conserved polar histidine E7, do not fit the relationship between the band III position and the rate of binding of carbon monoxide to the heme. With these few exceptions, the measurement of band III appears to be a practical means to probe the stretch frequency of the Fe-His(F8) bond.

1. Zinc-protoporphyrin-IX (ZnPP-IX) is an inhibitor of the enzyme heme-oxygenase-2 (HO-2) and consequently has been used to examine the role of carbon monoxide production in neural tissues. We have measured voltage-gated Ca current in AtT-20 pituitary cells using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique and have assessed the effects of extracellularly applied ZnPP-IX and related compounds. 2. Ca currents evoked by depolarizing steps from a holding potential of -90 mV were of the high-threshold, slowly inactivating type. Fifty-six percent of this current was blocked by 10 microM nifedipine and 16% by 3 microM omega-conotoxin with the remainder resistant to both drugs in combination, suggesting that the total Ca current was a mixture of L, N, and possibly P-type conductances. 3. Bath application of ZnPP-IX resulted in an irreversible, dose-dependent attenuation of Ca current. Five micromolar ZnPP-IX produced a 62% reduction of peak current amplitude with no shift in the current-voltage relation, 0.5 microM produced a 19% reduction, and 0.05 microM produced a variable response, either a small transient attenuation or potentiation. 4. The attenuation of Ca current by 5 microM ZnPP-IX could be nearly completely blocked by co-application of superoxide dismutase in the bath (90 U/ml) but not by addition of an inhibitor of cGMP-dependent protein kinase to the internal saline (KT5823, 1 microM). 5. Other inhibitors of heme-oxygenase with similar potency such as tin-protoporphyrin-IX (Sn-PP-IX) and Zn-deuteroporphyrin-bis-glycol (ZnBG) did not attenuate Ca current when applied at 5microM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Several lines of evidence suggest that cyclic GMP might be involved in long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. Arachidonic acid, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, three molecules that have been proposed to act as retrograde messengers in LTP, all activate soluble guanylyl cyclase. We report here that an inhibitor of guanylyl cyclase blocks the induction of LTP in the CA1 region of hippocampal slices. Conversely, cGMP analogues produce long-lasting enhancement of the excitatory postsynaptic potential if they are applied at the same time as weak tetanic stimulation of the presynaptic fibres. The enhancement is spatially restricted, is not blocked by valeric acid (APV), nifedipine, or picrotoxin, and partially occludes LTP. This synaptic enhancement may be mediated by the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). Inhibitors of PKG block the induction of LTP, and activators of PKG produce activity-dependent long-lasting enhancement. These results suggest that guanylyl cyclase and PKG contribute to LTP, possibly as activity-dependent presynaptic effectors of retrograde messengers.
