Each protomer of the regulatory subunit dimer of cAMP-dependent protein kinase contains two tandem and homologous cAMP-binding domains, A and B, and cooperative cAMP binding to these two sites promotes holoenzyme dissociation. Several amino acid residues in the type I regulatory subunit, predicted to lie in close proximity to each bound cyclic nucleotide based on affinity labeling and model building, were replaced using recombinant techniques. The mutations included replacement of 1) Glu-200, predicted to hydrogen bond to the 2'-OH of cAMP bound to site A, with Asp, 2) Tyr-371, the site of affinity labeling with 8-N3-cAMP in site B, with Trp, and 3) Phe-247, the position in site A that is homologous to Tyr-371 in site B, with Tyr. Each mutation caused an approximate 2-fold increase in both the Ka(cAMP) and Kd(cAMP); however, the off-rates for cAMP and the characteristic pattern of affinity labeling with 8-N3-cAMP differed markedly for each mutant protein. Furthermore, these mutations affect the cAMP binding properties not only of the site containing the mutation, but of the adjacent nonmutated site as well, thus confirming that extensive cross-communication occurs between the two cAMP-binding domains. Photoaffinity labeling of the native R-subunit results in the covalent modification of two residues, Trp-260 and Tyr-371, by 8-N3-cAMP bound to sites A and B, respectively, with a stoichiometry of 1 mol of 8-N3-cAMP incorporated per mol of R-monomer (Bubis, J., and Taylor, S. S. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 3478-3486). A stoichiometry of 1 mol of 8-N3-cAMP incorporated per R-monomer was observed for each mutant regulatory subunit as well, even when 2 mol of 8-N3-cAMP were bound per R-monomer; however, the major sites of covalent modification were altered as follows: R(Y371/W), Trp-371; R(E200/D), Tyr-371, and R(F247/Y), Tyr-371.

The X-ray crystal structure of sangivamycin, a potent nucleoside inhibitor of protein kinases, has been determined. Sangivamycin crystallizes from water with its purine ring in a conformation anti to its ribose sugar. Such an anti conformation has been detected in solution for sangivamycin and other potent protein kinase inhibitors and appears to correlate with inhibitor potency [(1990) Biochemistry (in press)]. An intramolecular hydrogen bond between purine ring substituents is detected in the X-ray structure and may be an important structural feature of sangivamycin related to its degree of inhibition of rhodopsin kinase and of protein kinases C and A.

cAMP analogs, all 96 of which were modified in the adenine moiety, were examined quantitatively for their ability to inhibit the binding of [3H]cAMP to each of the two classes (A and B) of cAMP-binding sites of type I (rabbit skeletal muscle) and type II (bovine heart) cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The study showed that analogs can be constructed that have a higher affinity than cAMP for a binding site. N6-phenyl-cAMP had 18-fold increased affinity for site A of RI (AI) and 40-fold increased affinity for site AII. 2-chloro-8-methylamino-cAMP had a 7-fold increased affinity for BI, and 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP had 17-fold increased affinity for BII. Analogs could discriminate between the two classes of binding sites by more than two orders of magnitude in binding affinity: 2-chloro-8-methylamino-cAMP had 170-fold higher affinity for BI than for AI, and 2-n-butyl-8-thiobenzyl-cAMP had 700-fold higher affinity for BII than for AII. Analogs could also discriminate between the homologous binding sites of the isozymes: 2-n-butyl-8-bromo-cAMP had 260-fold higher affinity for AI than for AII (22-fold higher for BII than BI), and 8-piperidino-cAMP had 50-fold higher affinity for BII than for BI (and 50-fold higher for AI than for AII). The data suggest the following conclusions. (a) Stacking interactions are important for the binding of cAMP to all the binding sites. (b) Subtle differences exist between the sites as to the optimal electron distribution in the adenine ring since modifications that withdraw electrons at C2 and donate at C8 favour binding to BI, and disfavour binding to AI and AII. (c) There are no hydrogen bonds between the adenine ring of cAMP and any of the binding sites. (d) All sites bind cAMP in the syn conformation. (e) The subsites adjacent to the N6 and C8 positions may have nonpolar neighbouring regions since hydrophobic substituents at N6 could increase the affinity for AI and AII and similar substituents at C8 could increase the affinity for BII. Finally, (f) the sites differed in their ability to accomodate bulky substituents at C2 and C8. For all compounds tested, their potency as activators of protein kinases I and II was found to correlate, in a predictable fashion, to their mean affinity for the two classes of binding sites, rather than to the affinity for only one of the sites.

Mammalian cGMP- and cAMP-dependent protein kinase show considerable similarity in amino acid sequence, although they specifically bind different cyclic nucleotides. Results of cGMP analogue binding experiments, combined with modeling of the cGMP binding sites by analogy to the structure of the homologous catabolite gene activator protein, suggest that a threonine residue forms a hydrogen bond with the 2-NH2 of cGMP. This threonine is invariant in all cGMP binding domains, but the corresponding residue in 23 out of 24 cAMP binding sites of protein kinases is alanine, which cannot form the same hydrogen bond. This alanine/threonine difference has the potential for discriminating between cAMP and cGMP and may be important in the evolutionary divergence of cyclic nucleotide binding sites.

On fertilization of a sea urchin egg, marked changes occur in the cytoplasmic concentration of calcium and hydrogen ions. These ionic signals represent the necessary and sufficient stimuli for the increased metabolism, protein synthesis and DNA synthesis that constitute egg activation. Cytoplasmic alkalinization, the major immediate cause of the increased rate of protein synthesis which occurs at fertilization, arises because the sperm-induced intracellular calcium transient activates a coupled flux of sodium ions and hydrogen ions across the oolemma. The experiments reported here suggest that the second messenger which links the activation of the Na/H exchange to the calcium transient may be a substance which stimulates protein kinase C8, as 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA), a known activator of protein kinase C9, appears to stimulate protein synthesis by turning on the Na/H exchanger and causing a cytoplasmic alkalinization. Our data indicate that one consequence of treating other tissues with TPA, a tumour promoter, may be an increase in intracellular pH.

The structural requirements for diacylglycerols to mimic the action of tumor-promoting phorbol diesters on the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor of A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells were investigated. Five biological effects were considered: inhibition of high affinity 125I-EGF binding, change in the phosphorylation state of the EGF receptor, inhibition of the EGF-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGF receptor, inhibition of [3H]phorbol 12 beta, 13 alpha-dibutyrate binding, and stimulation of calcium- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (C-kinase) in vitro. A marked effect of the acyl chain length, 3-10 carbons, of symmetric sn-1,2-diacylglycerols was observed on their ability to mimic the effect of 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA). sn-1,2-Dipropanoylglycerol did not mimic the effects of PMA, but sn-1,2-didecanoylglycerol potently mimicked PMA action. A correlation was found between the ability of these diacylglycerols to stimulate the activity of C-kinase in vitro and to mimic the effects of PMA on the EGF receptor in intact cells. Analogues of sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol in which the 3' hydroxyl group was substituted with hydrogen, thio or chloro moieties were inactive when assayed for their ability to stimulate C-kinase in vitro and mimic PMA action in intact cells. We conclude that the hydroxyl group of a diacylglycerol is vital for the interaction with the phorbol diester receptor. The stringent correlation between the potency of the 11 diacylglycerol analogues tested to modulate C-kinase in vitro and to mimic PMA action in vivo provides strong evidence for the hypothesis that C-kinase plays a central role in the regulation of A431 cell EGF receptors by tumor-promoting phorbol diesters.

Microtubules purified from brain tissue contain endogenous cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase activity, and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is the major substrate. Beef brain microtubules were prepared and used as a model system to study the differential effects of rationally selected cyclic nucleotide analogues on microtubule receptor protein kinase. Data are presented to indicate that the following molecular interactions are essential for activation of the phosphorylation of MAP2: (a) hydrogen bond formation toward the 2', 3', or 5' position, (b) interaction with phosphorus, and (c) no hydrogen bonds but hydrophobic interactions at the base moiety. Thus, the activation mechanism of the type II protein kinase associated with brain microtubules resembles the mechanism found in protein kinases of other systems. In addition, we have studied the effect of the two diastereomers of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphorothioate (cAMPS). The (Sp)-cAMPS isomer was found to activate MAP2 protein kinase, whereas the (Rp)-cAMPS isomer had no activating effect. In contrast, this compound was able to inhibit cAMP-stimulated MAP2 phosphorylation and thus acts as an antagonist of the Sp diastereomer and cAMP. Hence, this analogue provides a useful means to clarify further the effect of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation on functional properties in microtubules in general.

The specificity of the two intrasubunit cGMP binding sites of cGMP-dependent protein kinase was determined by measuring the ability of 46 cGMP analogs to compete with [3H]cGMP. Both sites of the enzyme exhibited high specificity for the ribose cyclic phosphate moiety, and lower specificity for the guanine moiety. Effects of modifications in the ribose cyclic phosphate moiety suggested that cGMP is bound at both sites by three hydrogen bonds at 2'-OH, 3'-O, and 5'-O. A negative charge in the cyclic phosphate is apparently required. Modifications of the pyrimidine part of guanine, particularly at C-1, generally caused selectivity for the rapidly exchanging site while modifications of the imidazole part of guanine at C-7 and C-8 caused selectivity for the slowly exchanging site. These increases in selectivity for a site were mainly due to losses in affinity of the other site. There was an apparent requirement of the intact amino group at C-2, particularly for the slowly exchanging site. Comparison of the molecular interactions of cAMP and cGMP with their specific protein kinases showed that both nucleotides are bound by similar forces in the 2', 3' and 5' region, both bases may be bound in syn conformation, but that each base moiety is bound by different molecular interaction, thus leading to the selectivity of the two enzymes. cGMP analogs which possessed strong selectivity for the rapidly exchanging site, but not those selective for the slowly exchanging site, stimulated the binding of [3H]cGMP. Only a few cGMP analogs were more potent than cGMP in stimulating protein kinase activity. The potency of cGMP analogs as stimulators of kinase activity correlated better with the mean binding affinity for both binding sites than with the affinity for either site alone. Two analogs added in combination were synergistic in kinase activation, particularly if one analog was selective for the slowly exchanging site and the other for the rapidly exchanging site. These observations are suggestive that cGMP binding at the rapidly exchanging site stimulates cGMP binding at the slowly exchanging site and that both sites are involved in the activation process.

We have determined the effects of tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) and of the calcium ionophore A23187 on two thyroid responses to TSH previously reported to be cAMP-independent. We observed that TPA and A23187, at doses of 1.0 microM, stimulated both hydrogen peroxide generation and glucose oxidation in calf thyroid slices. A subthreshold dose of A23187 (0.1 microM) added to a submaximal dose of TPA (0.5 microM) acted synergistically, stimulating H2O2 production to the same degree as a maximally effective dose of TSH (50 mU/ml). Forskolin (25 microM), a direct stimulator of adenylate cyclase, actually inhibited both glucose oxidation and hydrogen peroxide generation. Lithium chloride (25 mM) had no effect on either response, either in the basal state or with TSH stimulation. The calcium channel antagonist verapamil (50 microM) decreased the basal activity of glucose oxidation and peroxide generation but did not substantially inhibit the effect of TSH on H2O2 generation under the conditions studied. These data support the concept that TSH induces changes in the thyroid phosphatidylinositol metabolism which activates protein kinase-C (c-kinase) and raises cytosolic free calcium. These events appear to act in concert to mediate certain metabolic responses in differentiated thyroid tissue.

NH2-terminal myristyl peptides in mixtures of other peptides having the NH2-terminal blocked with acetyl, formyl or pyroglutamyl groups were selectively determined by high-performance liquid chromatography using a poly(vinyl alcohol) resin column eluted with 50 mM sodium hydrogen carbonate, pH 8.3, and a linear gradient of acetonitrile. This method was applied to the analysis of an NH2-terminal blocked peptide from a peptic digest of the catalytic subunit of adenosine 3':5'-phosphate-dependent protein kinase type II from bovine heart, showing that the peptide has a sequence myristyl-Gly-Asn-Ala.
