The two protomers of the purified regulatory subunit from porcine cAMP-dependent protein kinase I have been shown to be covalently cross-linked by interchain disulfide bonding. Limited proteolysis which cleaves the polypeptide chain into two fragments demonstrated that the disulfide bonding was associated exclusively with the fragment that corresponded to the NH2-terminal region of the polypeptide chain. This NH2-terminal fragment accounted for approximately 15 to 20% of the molecule. The disulfide bonding was further characterized by alkylating the cysteines in the native regulatory subunit. Following oxidation with performic acid, each regulatory subunit contained 7 cysteic acid residues; however, under denaturing conditions, but without prior reduction, only 5 cysteine residues could be alkylated with iodoacetic acid. Following limited proteolysis, all five of these cysteines were associated with the larger COOH-terminal, cAMP binding domain. In contrast, if the denatured subunit was first reduced prior to alkylation, all 7 cysteine residues were alkylated. The 2 cysteines that were only accessible to alkylation after prior reduction were both associated with the NH2-terminal end of the polypeptide chain ultimately with a 5,400 peptide. Alkylation of the isolated, denatured NH2-terminal domain with iodoacetic acid resulted in no covalent modification unless the fragment was first reduced with dithiothreitol. The NH2-terminal and COOH-terminal domains were shown to be linked by a region of the polypeptide chain that is rich in both proline and arginine. It is the arginine-rich site that is readily prone to proteolytic cleavage.

DARPP-32 is a neuronal phosphoprotein of Mr = 32,000, originally identified in rat brain (Walaas, S.I., D.W. Aswad, and P. Greengard (1983) Nature 301: 69-72). This protein has now been identified in bovine caudate nucleus cytosol and purified 435-fold to apparent homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purification procedure involved acid extraction at pH 2, CM-cellulose chromatography, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA 44. The purified catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalyzed the incorporation of 0.96 mol of phosphate/mol of purified DARPP-32. Phosphorylation occurred exclusively on threonine. The isoelectric point of dephospho-DARPP-32 was 4.7, and that of phospho-DARPP-32 was 4.6. The amino acid composition showed a high content of glutamate/glutamine and proline, and a low content of hydrophobic amino acids. DARPP-32 was found to have a Stokes radius of 34 A and a sedimentation coefficient of 2.05 S, indicating that it exists as an elongated monomer.

Evidence is presented that establishes the amino acid sequence of the regulatory subunit of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine cardiac muscle. Complementary sets of overlapping peptides were generated primarily by tryptic digestion and by chemical cleavage at methionyl residues. The analysis was augmented by chemical cleavage at a single tryptophanyl residue and at three of the four aspartyl-proline bonds. Several large fragments generated by limited proteolysis contributed to the proof of structure. The subunit is a single chain of 400 residues corresponding to a molecular weight of 45 004. An amino-terminal segment of about 100 residues is believed to include the region responsible for oligomeric association. The remainder of the molecule consists of two tandem homologous domains, each of which is thought to bind a single molecule of cAMP. Comparison of the three domains with corresponding regions of the type I isozyme, of the Escherichia coli catabolite gene activator protein, and of cGMP-dependent protein kinase indicates extensive regions of homology and as much as 50% identity with the sequence of an internal segment of the type I isozyme.

The hexapeptide (Arg)2-Pro-Thr-Pro-Ala (T1) and octapeptide (Arg)2-Pro-Thr-Pro-Ala (T5), reproducing the phosphorylatable site of protein phosphatase inhibitor-1, a physiological target of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and five related peptides were synthesized by the method in solution. The phosphorylation rates of such peptides by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and their kinetic parameters have been determined and compared with those of the hexapeptide (Arg)2-Ala-Ser-Val-Ala, reproducing the phosphorylatable site of rat liver pyruvate kinase. The results obtained show that both the presence of threonine instead of serine and the adjacent C-terminal proline represent highly unfavourable factors seriously impairing the protein kinase reaction by both increasing Km and depressing V. On the other hand the N-terminal proline is compatible with high phosphorylation rates and the row of four rather than two consecutive arginines improves the phosphorylation efficiency by lowering tenfold the Km, without affecting the V. The extension of the hexapeptide T1 on its C-terminal side to give the derivative (Arg)2-Pro-Thr-Pro-Ala-Thr-Val-Ala has no significant effect on the kinetic parameters. Moreover no relationship between the phosphorylation efficiency and the predicted secondary structures around the target residue could be evidenced. Therefore the local structural features of the phosphorylatable site of inhibitor-1 cannot fully account for the fast phosphorylation of this regulatory protein. Other factors must optimize the protein kinase reaction.

Glycogen synthase is a substrate for five distinct protein kinases in skeletal muscle which phosphorylate seven different serine residues on the enzyme. Cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates sites 1a, 1b and 2, phosphorylase kinase, site 2, glycogen synthase kinase 3, sites 3a, 3b and 3c, glycogen synthase kinase 4, site 2 and glycogen synthase kinase 5 site 5. Site 2 is seven residues from the N-terminus of glycogen synthase and is located in a cyanogen bromide peptide termed CB1 (apparent Mr = 9000). The other six phosphorylation sites are located in a cyanogen bromide peptide termed CB2 (apparent Mr = 24 000) at the C-terminal end of the molecule. The sequence of the N-terminal 123 residues of peptide CB2, has been completed. Sites 3a, 3b, 3c, 5, 1a and 1b are located at residues 30, 34, 38, 46, 87 and 100 from the N-terminus of CB2 respectively. Site 1a is the next serine residue after site 5. The region surrounding sites 3a, 3b and 3c is very rich in proline residues while that surrounding sites 1a and 1b contains many serine and threonine residues. The 23 residues following site 5 contain 15 aspartic acid and glutamic acid residues, while the region immediately N-terminal to site 1a is very basic. The whole region is remarkably hydrophilic and is the region at which the native enzyme is attacked by proteinases. The sites at which glycogen synthase is cleaved by trypsin, chymotrypsin and thermolysin have been identified. The finding that trypsin cleaves the enzyme C-terminal to site 3c while chymotrypsin cleaves N-terminal to site 3a has formed the basis of a simple procedure for determining the state of phosphorylation of the seven serine residues in vivo [Parker, P.J., Embi, N., Caudwell, F.B., and Cohen, P. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 124, 47-55].

PK40erk2 is a MAP kinase which phosphorylates recombinant hTau40 up to 14 moles of phosphate/mole, markedly slowing its electrophoretic mobility. PK40erk2 acting on TAU is expected to cause the appearance of Alzheimer's disease-specific phosphoepitopes, detectable by specific antibodies. Maximal phosphorylation in vitro of hTau40 by PKAcat incorporates only 2-3 moles of phosphate/mole. Consequent, but smaller, reduction in electrophoretic mobility is seen, but not the formation of Alzheimer-specific or hyperphosphorylation-specific epitopes. Phosphorylation of hTau40 by PKAcat sharply reduces the number of phosphates that can now be introduced by PK40erk2 to 5-6 moles/mole, instead of the expected 11 moles/mole. Thus, prior phosphorylation by PKA, a non-proline-directed protein kinase, regulates the conformation of the protein substrate Tau so as to make some sites very much less accessible to phosphorylation by the proline-directed kinase, PK40erk2.

We determined the amino acid and radiolabel sequences of tryptic [32P]phosphopeptides of the purified human estrogen receptor (hER) from MCF-7 cells and Sf9 cells. Serine 118 was identified as a site that was phosphorylated independently of estradiol-binding in MCF-7 cells. Proline is on the carboxy terminus of serine 118, which suggests that the serine-proline may be a consensus phosphorylation site motif for either the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase or p34cdc2 kinase. MAP kinase selectively phosphorylated the recombinant hER in vitro on serine 118 independent of estradiol-binding, whereas p34cdc2 did not phosphorylate the hER. We demonstrated previously that serine 167 of the hER was phosphorylated in an estradiol-dependent manner. We therefore compared the consequence of hER phosphorylation at serine 118 by MAP kinase and phosphorylation at serine 167 by casein kinase II on the receptor's affinity for specific DNA binding. The binding of the hER to an estrogen response element was not altered by phosphorylation with MAP kinase at serine 118 but was significantly increased when phosphorylated at serine 167 by casein kinase II. These data suggest that phosphorylation of the hER by MAP kinase(s) pathways may influence receptor action by a mechanism other than the estradiol-dependent phosphorylation of hER by casein kinase II.

In human platelets a proline-directed kinase distinct from the ERK MAP kinases is stimulated by both thrombin and the thrombin receptor agonist peptide SFLLRN and may be involved in the activation of Ca(2+)-dependent cytosolic phospholipase A2 (Kramer, R. M., Roberts, E. F., Hyslop, P. A., Utterback, B. G., Hui, K. Y., and Jakubowski, J.A. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 14816-14823). Here we show that this kinase is identical with or closely related to p38 (the mammalian homolog of HOG1 from yeast), a recently discovered protein kinase typically activated by inflammatory cytokines and environmental stress. Further, we demonstrate that activation of this kinase by thrombin is transient (with maximal stimulation at 1 min), is accompanied by tyrosine phosphorylation, and precedes the activation of the ERK kinases. This is the first report to show that p38 kinase is activated by thrombin and to suggest a role for this MAP kinase in the thrombin-mediated signaling events during platelet activation.

Tau protein-prepared post-mortem from brains of Alzheimer's disease patients was treated with protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit, 2A catalytic subunit, and 2B (calcineurin). Dephosphorylation was monitored by immunoblotting with two monoclonal antibodies, TAU-1 and SMI31, which recognize in tau the dephospho- and phospho-states, respectively, of proline-directed protein kinase phosphorylation sites. Out of the three enzymes tested, protein phosphatase 2A was only effective in dephosphorylating tau at these Alzheimer-type epitopes.

The distribution of microtubule-associated protein lB (MAPlB) phosphorylated by either proline-directed protein kinase (PDPK) or casein kinase II (CK II) in neuroblastoma cells and hippocampal neurons has been studied by immunofluorescence using specific antibodies to distinct phosphorylation-sensitive epitopes. A proximo-distal gradient of increasing PDPK-catalyzed phosphorylation of MAPlB is superimposed on a proximo distal gradient of decreasing CK II-catalyzed MAPlB phosphorylation within growing axon-like neurites. Additionally, CK II-phosphorylated MAPlB is present in cell bodies and dendrites where no PDPK-phosphorylated MAPlB is observed. These results suggest distinct roles for both types of modifications of MAPlB in developing neurons.
