The effects of protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation on glucose transport activity reconstituted from adipocyte membrane fractions and its relationship to the phosphorylation state of the adipose/muscle-type glucose transporter (GLUT4) were studied. In vitro phosphorylation of membranes in the presence of ATP and protein kinase A produced a stimulation of the reconstituted glucose transport activity in plasma membranes and low-density microsomes (51% and 65% stimulation respectively), provided that the cells had been treated with insulin prior to isolation of the membranes. Conversely, treatment of membrane fractions with alkaline phosphatase produced an inhibition of reconstituted transport activity. However, in vitro phosphorylation catalysed by protein kinase C failed to alter reconstituted glucose transport activity in membrane fractions from both basal and insulin-treated cells. In experiments run under identical conditions, the phosphorylation state of GLUT4 was investigated by immunoprecipitation of glucose transporters from membrane fractions incubated with [32P]ATP and protein kinases A and C. Protein kinase C stimulated a marked phosphate incorporation into GLUT4 in both plasma membranes and low-density microsomes. Protein kinase A, in contrast to its effect on reconstituted glucose transport activity, produced a much smaller phosphorylation of the GLUT4 in plasma membranes than in low-density microsomes. The present data suggest that glucose transport activity can be modified by protein phosphorylation via an insulin-dependent mechanism. However, the phosphorylation of the GLUT4 itself was not correlated with changes in its reconstituted transport activity.

The acute effects of insulin, adenosine, and isoproterenol on the activity, subcellular distribution, and phosphorylation state of the GLUT4 glucose transporter isoform were investigated in rat adipocytes under conditions carefully controlled to monitor changes in cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) activity. In contrast to GLUT1, which has not been shown to be phosphorylated even when cells are exposed to any of the above agents, GLUT4 was partially phosphorylated (0.1-0.2 mol/mol) when the activity of the A-kinase was suppressed, and remained unchanged in response to insulin. Isoproterenol elicited a 64% inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in the absence, but not the presence, of adenosine receptor agonists. However, in either the presence or the absence of agonists, A-kinase was activated as assessed by examining the phosphorylation of the major adipocyte A-kinase substrate, perilipin. Similarly, under either condition, phosphorylation of GLUT4 was enhanced 1.4-fold in the intracellular membranes, but no significant change was observed in the plasma membrane. In the absence of adenosine receptor agonists, isoproterenol exerted a small (14%) but significant inhibition of the insulin-induced translocation of GLUT4 but had no effect on the translocation of GLUT1. Thus, changes in the phosphorylation state and/or subcellular distribution of GLUT4 cannot account for the inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose activity induced by isoproterenol.

We have reported earlier the isolation of two recessive, serum- and anchorage-dependent revertants from an NIH 3T3 line which had been transformed with multiple copies of a c-H-ras oncogene. In both revertants the oncogene was fully expressed and fusion of either revertant with normal (untransformed) cells or of the two revertants with one another resulted in transformed progeny. These, and other data indicate that the transforming activity of the c-H-ras oncogene is impaired in the two revertants, in consequence of defects in distinct genes needed to mediate this activity. Here, we describe some of the biochemical features of the revertants. In both of these (as in the transformed line) the bulk of the ras-p21 protein was found in the membrane fraction. This suggests proper posttranslational processing. Furthermore, no difference was detected either in the ras-p21 protein GTPase stimulating activity of GAP or in the extent of GAP-tyrosine phosphorylation among growing cultures of the two revertants, the transformed line and the parental NIH 3T3 line. The level of glucose transporter mRNA was severalfold higher in the transformed line than in the NIH 3T3 line. In the two revertants, however, the level was as low as that in the NIH 3T3 line. This indicates that the reversion impaired the effect of the c-H-ras oncogene on transcription. The raf oncogene (proposed to increase transcription factor activity) could retransform both revertants. Moreover, as revealed in experiments with growing cultures, neither transformation by the c-H-ras oncogene nor reversion from the transformed state altered the electrophoretic mobility of the raf protein or the level of its actin kinase activity. These results suggest that transformation by the c-H-ras oncogene is not mediated by the activation of raf protein kinase. The tyrosine phosphorylation of the p34cdc2 protein kinase (a cell cycle regulatory enzyme) was severalfold higher in the transformed line than in the NIH 3T3 line. The level of p34cdc2 protein kinase phosphorylation was as high in the R260 revertant as in the transformed line and as low in the R116 revertant as in the NIH 3T3 line. We are attempting to identify the defective mediator genes impairing the transforming activity of the c-H-ras oncogene in the two revertants.

In the present study we have examined the ability of 8-bromoadenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate (8-bromo-cAMP; the membrane permeant analog of cAMP which can activate protein kinase A) to mimic hormone action and stimulate glucose transport and glucose transporter (GLUT-1) gene expression as well as the expression of several growth-related protooncogenes in quiescent 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. 8-Bromo-cAMP induced a rapid and prolonged increase in the rate of hexose transport. Early activation of hexose transport (within 30 min) was associated with increased plasma membrane immunoreactive glucose transporters, which corresponded to a doubling in the number of D-glucose-displaceable, plasma membrane cytochalasin B binding sites. The time course for 8-bromo-cAMP-induced hexose transport preceded the accumulation of GLUT-1 mRNA, which peaked between 4 and 8 h after exposure to the agent, and subsequently declined to approach basal (control) levels. Expression of the immediate-early genes c-fos and jun-B was induced by 8-bromo-cAMP on a rapid, but sustained time course, whereas induction of c-jun expression was delayed. Alterations in specific mRNAs following exposure to 8-bromo-cAMP were due to increased gene transcription (as judged by nuclear transcription run-on assays), although with respect to GLUT-1, an increase in mRNA stability was also observed. Treatment of the cells with forskolin resulted in the induction of GLUT-1 expression as well as expression of the immediate early genes. Exposure of quiescent 3T3-L1 fibroblasts to 8-bromo-cAMP resulted in a substantial increase in rates of total protein and RNA synthesis, but had little effect on DNA synthesis. The results demonstrate that 8-bromo-cAMP initiated a G0/G1 transition, but did not permit progression into S-phase. The results further suggest that increased cytosolic cAMP results in the stimulation of glucose transport by three distinct mechanisms to include translocation of pre-existing transporters, increased transcription of the GLUT-1 gene and increased stability of GLUT-1 mRNA.

Twelve loci have been assigned to rat chromosome 5: aldolase B (ALDOB), atrial natriuretic factor (ANF = pronatriodilatin, PND), D4RP1, DSI1, galactosyltransferase (GGTB2), glucose transporter (GLUT1), interferon alpha 1 and related interferon alpha (INFA), interferon beta (INFB), lymphocyte-specific protein-tyrosine kinase (LCK), oncogene MOS, alpha 2U-globulin (major urinary protein, MUP), and orosomucoid (ORM, also called alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, AGP). Among these, the interferon alpha and beta genes map in the q22-23 region, which also contains a transformation suppressor gene (SAI1). The other loci reside outside this region. This study also indicated that the rat genome contains 2 LCK genes, unlike the human and murine genomes. These new assignments on rat chromosome 5 demonstrate that this chromosome is highly homologous to mouse chromosome 4 and carries synteny groups conserved on human chromosome 9 (interferon alpha and beta, galactosyltransferase, orosomucoid, and aldolase B genes) and on the short arm of human chromosome 1 (MYCL, glucose transporter, protein kinase LCK, and atrial natriuretic factor genes).

Phosphorylation of the insulin-regulatable glucose transporter (IRGT) is increased by incubating rat adipocytes with isoproterenol or by incubating microsomal membranes with cAMP-dependent protein kinase. To attempt to locate the sites of phosphorylation, the IRGT (apparent Mr = 46,000) was immunoprecipitated from 32P-labeled adipocytes and cleaved with CNBr or trypsin. Essentially all of the 32P could be recovered in a single CNBr fragment, denoted CB-T (Mr = 8,000), which bound a polyclonal antibody (R820) against a peptide having the sequence of the last 12 amino acids in the COOH terminus of the IRGT. 32P-Labeling of the IRGT was also confined to CB-T when membranes were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Isoproterenol increased phosphorylation of CB-T, but insulin was without effect. To resolve phosphorylation sites further, IRGT from 32P-labeled cells was subjected to exhaustive proteolysis with trypsin. Samples were applied to a C-18 column, and 32P-labeled fragments were resolved into three peak fractions by elution with an increasing gradient of acetonitrile. [32P]Phosphoserine was the only phosphoamino acid detected in any of the peaks. Peak III contained approximately 80% of the 32P and was increased by isoproterenol. Almost all of the 32P introduced by cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro eluted in Peak III. In all cases, the 32P-labeled species in Peak III were quantitatively immunoprecipitated by R820. Digesting the peptide(s) in Peak III with V8 protease generated a single peak of 32P which eluted at lower acetonitrile than Peak III and contained 32P-labeled species that did not interact with R820. Automated Edman degradation indicated that the serine residue in Peak III phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was the 3rd or 4th residue from the NH2 terminus of the peptide. These findings indicate that phosphorylation of the IRGT is restricted to the presumed intracellular domain at the COOH terminus and that Ser488 is a major site phosphorylated both by cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro and in response to isoproterenol in vivo.

We have examined the acute effects of insulin and isoproterenol on the phosphorylation state of the insulin-regulatable glucose transporter (IRGT) in rat adipocytes. The IRGT was immunoprecipitated from either detergent-solubilized whole-cell homogenates or subcellular fractions of 32P-labeled fat cells and subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 32P-labeled IRGT was detected by autoradiography as a species of apparent Mr 46,000. Insulin stimulated translocation of the IRGT from low-density microsomes to the plasma membrane but did not affect phosphorylation of the transporter in either fraction. Isoproterenol inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose transport by 40% but was without effect on the subcellular distribution of the transporter in either the presence or absence of insulin. Isoproterenol stimulated phosphorylation of the IRGT 2-fold. Incubating cells with dibutyryl-cAMP and 8-bromo-cAMP also stimulated phosphorylation 2-fold, and the transporter was phosphorylated in vitro when IRGT-enriched vesicles were incubated with cAMP-dependent protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP. These results suggest that isoproterenol stimulates phosphorylation of the IRGT via a cAMP-dependent pathway and that phosphorylation of the transporter may modulate its ability to transport glucose.

This paper examines the modulation of insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in rat adipose cells by ligands for receptors (R) that mediate stimulation (Rs; lipolytic) or inhibition (Ri; antilipolytic) of adenylate cyclase. The changes in glucose transport activity and cAMP, as assessed by 3-O-methylglucose uptake and (-/+) cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) activity ratios, respectively, were monitored under conditions that maintain steady-state A-kinase activity ratios (Honnor, R. C., Dhillon, G. S., and Londos, C. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 15122-15129). Removal of endogenous adenosine with adenosine deaminase decreased insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity by approximately 30%, which was prevented or restored with Ri agonists such as phenylisopropyladenosine, nicotinic acid, and prostaglandin E1. These changes in transport activity were not accompanied by changes in A-kinase activity ratios, indicating that Ri-mediated effects on transport are independent of cAMP changes. Addition of an Rs ligand, isoproterenol, in the presence of adenosine increased kinase activity but did not change glucose transport activity. Conversely, upon removal of adenosine, addition of Rs ligands such as isoproterenol, adrenocorticotropic hormone, or glucagon strongly inhibited transport (approximately 50%) and stimulated kinase activity. However, subsequent addition of phenylisopropyladenosine nearly restored transport activity without alteration of A-kinase activity. These data and additional kinetic experiments suggest that Rs-mediated glucose transport modulations are also independent of cAMP. The interchangeability of ligands for both Rs and Ri receptors in modulating transport activity suggests that these cAMP-independent effects are mediated by the stimulatory (Ns) and inhibitory (Ni) guanyl nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins of adenylate cyclase. All Rs-and Ri-induced changes in transport activity occurred without a change in glucose transporter distribution, as assessed by D-glucose-inhibitable cytochalasin B binding, suggesting that Rs and Ri ligands modulate the intrinsic activity of the glucose transporter present in the plasma membrane.

The Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) is present in many mammalian tissues, and its important physiological protein substrates are only now beginning to be identified. A useful advance in identifying these intracellular substrates has been the recognition that the kinase is the receptor for phorbol esters, which stimulate phosphotransferase activity. Phorbol ester-induced changes in protein phosphorylation in intact cells may thus be taken, in part, as a probable indication of protein kinase C activation. The many cellular effects of phorbol esters include the stimulation of glucose uptake, although the response of glucose uptake to phorbol esters appears to be complex, apparently varying in response time and requirement for protein synthesis. Such observations prompted us to explore one possible explanation for the alteration of glucose uptake, namely, phosphorylation of the glucose transporter by protein kinase C. We report here that incubation of purified human erythrocyte glucose transporter with rat brain protein kinase C results in the phosphorylation of a protein of relative molecular mass (Mr) 50,000-60,000 which has subsequently been identified as the glucose transporter by specific immunoprecipitation with a monoclonal antibody. Immunoprecipitation of membrane proteins from 32P-labelled human erythrocytes revealed a phorbol ester-stimulated phosphorylation of the transporter. This covalent modification of the glucose transporter may thus, in part, underlie the ability of phorbol esters and certain hormones to stimulate glucose uptake.

Transformation by Rous sarcoma virus results in a dramatic increase in the rate at which the transformed cells transport glucose across the cell membrane. The increased transport rate is a consequence of an increased number of transporters in the transformed cells. Utilizing antibody raised against the purified human erythrocyte glucose transporter, we have identified the glucose transporter as a membrane glycoprotein with a monomer Mr of approximately 41,000. The increased rate of glucose transport is dependent on the activity of pp60src, the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus. This protein has been shown to be a protein kinase that phosphorylates on tyrosine residues. We have examined the tyrosine phosphorylation of a major cellular protein of Mr 36,000 in cells infected with a panel of partially transforming mutants of Rous sarcoma virus. One of these mutants (CU2) increases the rate of glucose transport only slightly and does not render the infected cells fully anchorage independent or tumorigenic (although other transformation parameters are fully induced). Cells infected with this mutant display a 36,000-dalton protein that is phosphorylated to a considerably lesser extent than cells infected with wild-type virus. Analyses of this sort may help to identify the cellular targets of pp60src whose phosphorylation is necessary for the increased glucose transport rate.
