We surveyed rabbit brain cytosol for a new Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase. The renaturation blotting assay (RBA) exploits the ability of blotted SDS-denatured proteins to regain enzymic activity after guanidine treatment. Using RBA, we found that the eluate of rabbit brain cytosol from a CaM affinity column contains at least four electrophoretically distinct protein kinase bands which were autophosphorylated in a Ca2+/CaM-dependent manner. The 49 kDa band and the 60 kDa band were alpha and beta subunit of CaM kinase II, and the 42 kDa band was presumed to be CaM kinase I, but the 80 kDa band could not be attributed to any reported Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinases. The 80 kDa protein kinase was isolated by three-step chromatography. We examined the phosphorylation of exogenous substrates by 80 kDa protein kinase, and histone IIIs and myosin light chain were phosphorylated in a Ca2+/CaM-dependent manner. W-7, a specific inhibitor for calmodulin, inhibited this kinase activity, but KN-62, a specific inhibitor for CaM kinase II, had no effect on this protein kinase activity. Autoradiography using boiled rabbit brain homogenate as substrate showed three intrinsic substrates (80 kDa, 60 kDa and 42 kDa), which were phosphorylated in a Ca2+/CaM-dependent manner. These findings suggest that a new Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase could be identified by the RBA.

Foetal and adult liver 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (PFK-2) were purified by identical protocols. The native molecular masses of both enzymes were determined by gel filtration and were 89.1 and 100.0 kDa respectively. No differences were found in SDS/PAGE in 10%-acrylamide gel (55 kDa per subunit). The kinetic properties displayed by both enzymes were similar, except for the sensitivity to inhibition by sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. Foetal PFK-2 was a good substrate for phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C, whereas the adult enzyme was phosphorylated only by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. However, the phosphorylation affected only the kinetic properties of the adult enzyme, suggesting the presence in both enzymes of different sites of phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. These differences in primary structure were consistent with the distinct chromatographic profiles of the phosphopeptides after digestion of the protein with CNBr. Western-blot analysis with antibodies specific for the N-terminal region of the liver-type PFK-2 poorly recognized the foetal enzyme, suggesting that both enzymes differ at least in the N-terminal sequence.

Phosphorylation of the rat brain ryanodine receptor was studied using a monoclonal antibody, Ry-1, against the cardiac ryanodine receptor. A large polypeptide with the same SDS-PAGE mobility as that of the canine cardiac receptor was detected in rat brain membranes by immunoblotting. The brain ryanodine receptor was solubilized from the microsomal membranes with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid (CHAPS), and more than 85% of the solubilized receptor was immunoprecipitated by Ry-1. Immunoprecipitated receptors were phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The ryanodine receptor was also expressed in cultured fetal rat brain neurons and was phosphorylated by treating the cells with dibutyryl cAMP. The number of cells showing a caffeine-induced Ca2+ transient was increased significantly in the phosphorylating condition. These results suggest that the Ca channel activity of the brain ryanodine receptor is regulated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation.

Pure cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) in micrograms quantities was isolated from bovine aortic smooth muscle after more than 5000-fold purification using DEAE ion-exchange and affinity chromatography with a derivative of the specific cGI-PDE inhibitor cilostamide conjugated as a ligand to aminoethyl agarose (CIT-agarose). The cGI-PDE, which constituted about half of the high affinity cAMP-PDE activity of a tissue homogenate, was identified with a 105-kDa protein on SDS-PAGE through use of antibodies towards the human platelet, bovine cardiac and bovine adipose tissue cGI-PDE in Western blot and immunoprecipitation/immunoinactivation analysis. As observed during purification of the enzyme from other tissues the enzyme protein was exquisitely sensitive to proteolytic nicking during purification, resulting in several 30-77-kDa polypeptide fragments. Rapid immunoprecipitation from fresh tissue extracts was the only was found to partially prevent the proteolysis. The native enzyme had apparent molecular sizes of approx. 100,000 or, mainly approx. 220,000 by gel chromatography, presumably indicating the presence of monomeric and dimeric forms. The enzyme hydrolyzed cAMP and cGMP with normal Michaelis-Menten kinetics with Km of 0.16 and 0.09 microM, respectively, with Vmax for hydrolysis of cAMP of 0.3 compared to 3.1 mumol/min per mg protein for cAMP. The enzyme was potently and selectively inhibited by cGMP (IC50 approximately 0.25 microM) and the cardiotonic/vasodilatory drugs OPC-3911 (a cilostamide derivative), milrinone and CI-930 (IC50 approximately 0.05, 0.40 and 0.25 microM, respectively). The cGI-PDE was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase as has been reported for the analogous enzymes in heart, adipose tissue and platelets. The identification of a cGI-PDE in the aortic smooth muscle and its inhibitor specificity is consistent with the hypothesis that inhibition of this enzyme is important in the mechanism through which these drugs produce vasorelaxation.

We describe the transient expression of the rat skeletal muscle muI Na+ channel in human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) cells. Functional channels appear at a density of approximately 30 in a 10 microns 2 patch, comparable to those of native excitable cells. Unlike muI currents in oocytes, inactivation gating is predominantly (approximately 97%) fast, although clear evidence is provided for noninactivating gating modes, which have been linked to anomalous behavior in the inherited disorder hyperkalemic periodic paralysis. Sequence-specific antibodies detect a approximately 230 kd glycopeptide. The majority of molecules acquire only neutral oligosaccharides and are retained within the cell. Electrophoretic mobility on SDS gels suggests the molecules may acquire covalently attached lipid. The channel is readily phosphorylated by activation of the protein kinase A and protein kinase C second messenger pathways.

Purified bovine heart 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2/FBPase-2) showed two bands with subunit M(r) of 58,000 and 54,000 when analysed by SDS/PAGE. Both the 58,000- and 54,000-M(r) forms were phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and by protein kinase C (PKC) in vitro. Phosphorylation by PKA decreased the apparent Km of PFK-2 for one of its substrates, fructose 6-phosphate, while phosphorylation by PKC did not correlate with any change in PFK-2 activity. The differences between the 58,000- and 54,000-M(r) forms were studied by electroblotting, peptide mapping and microsequencing. Residues 451-510, which correspond to exon 15 in the rat and contain phosphorylation sites for PKA (Ser-466) and PKC (Thr-475), were absent from the 54,000-M(r) form. Peptide mapping after phosphorylation by [gamma-32P]MgATP and PKC showed a phosphorylated peptide containing Thr-475, which was present in the 58,000-M(r) form but not in the 54,000-M(r) form. The fact that the latter form was phosphorylated by PKC and PKA suggests that other phosphorylation sites for PKA and PKC are located outside the region encoded by exon 15. Finally, analysis of RNA from bovine heart showed that the tissue contains two PFK-2/FBPase-2 mRNAs, only one of which was recognized by a probe specific to the region coding for Ser-466 and Thr-475. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that the 58,000- and 54,000-M(r) forms of bovine heart PFK-2/FBPase-2 result from alternative splicing of the same primary transcript.

A plasma membrane Ca(2+)-pump ATPase preparation purified from porcine aorta was incubated with cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase) under the conditions under which dose-dependent stimulation of the enzyme by G-kinase was observed. Several proteins were phosphorylated, but two isoforms of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-pump ATPase with molecular masses of 135- and 145-kDa were not phosphorylated. The protein that was phosphorylated by G-kinase and identified in our previous study as the 135-kDa isoform of Ca(2+)-pump ATPase, on the basis of its almost identical mobility on SDS-PAGE, was found to be another protein with a molecular mass of 138 kDa. Fractionation of the enzyme preparation after incubation with G-kinase by a newly developed calmodulin affinity chromatographic method resulted in the separation of all the G-kinase substrates from the two isoforms of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-pump ATPase. These results suggest that the direct phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-pump ATPase does not occur in association with the stimulation of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-pump ATPase by G-kinase.

Stimulation of gastric acid secretion is mediated by cAMP which regulates the proton pump through an A-kinase-dependent phosphoprotein. The purpose of this study was to isolate a stimulation-dependent gastric phosphoprotein capable of stimulating acid secretion. Gastric glands were prepared from rabbit gastric mucosa and acid secretion was stimulated with cAMP. A detergent extract of these stimulated gastric membranes was fractionated by gel chromatography and assayed for functional activity by measurement of [14C]-aminopyrine accumulation in permeabilized resting gastric glands or measurement of H(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in inhibited gastric microsomes. We hereby report isolation of a membrane-bound, A-kinase-dependent phosphoprotein which enhances aminopyrine accumulation in digitonin-permeabilized gastric glands (32%) and stimulates H(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in gastric microsomes to a level 55% of the maximal stimulation observed in the presence of valinomycin. Incubation of this phosphoprotein with [32P]ATP and the catalytic subunit of A-kinase resulted in [32P] incorporation into a protein which coincided with a single protein band on SDS-PAGE (17,500 Da).

The ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase activating factor (FA) has been identified and purified to near homogeneity from brain. In this report, as evidenced on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography, factor FA has further been identified as a cAMP and Ca(2+)-independent brain kinase that could phosphorylate synapsin I, a neuronal protein that coats synaptic vesicles, binds to cytoskeleton, and is believed to be involved in the modulation of neurotransmission. Kinetic study further indicated that factor FA could phosphorylate synapsin I with a low Km value of about 2 microM and with a molar ratio of 1 mol of phosphate per mole of protein. Peptide mapping analysis revealed that factor FA specifically phosphorylated the tail region of synapsin I but on a unique site distinct from those phosphorylated by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the two well-established synapsin I kinases. Functional study further revealed that factor FA could phosphorylate this unique specific site on the tail region of synapsin I and thereby inhibit cross-linking of synapsin I with microtubules. The results further suggest the possible involvement of factor FA as a synapsin I kinase in the regulation of axonal transport process of synaptic vesicles via the promotion of vesicles motility during neurotransmission.

Stimulation of isolated rat olfactory cilia in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP leads to a significantly enhanced incorporation of [32P]phosphate. Depending on the type of odorants applied, the induced phosphorylation is completely blocked by specific inhibitors of either protein kinase A or protein kinase C. Time-course experiments indicate that the odor-induced modification of ciliary proteins is transient; the intensity of labeling decayed over time (1-10 sec). Separation of ciliary proteins by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography demonstrated that upon stimulation with lilial, a single polypeptide (50,000 Da) was phosphorylated; the size of the modified protein is in line with the hypothesis that odorant receptors are phosphorylated subsequent to activation by specific odors.
