Cytoplasmic and nuclear protein kinase activities from perfused rat liver have been studied in response to dibutyryl-adenosine cyclic 3':5'-monophosphate added at a concentration that stimulates hepatic gluconeogenesis (100 muM). Total nuclear protein kinase, as assayed using a mixed histone fraction as phosphate acceptor, is increased by 5-fold within 8 min of the addition of cyclic nucleotide to the perfusate. In contrast the total cytoplasmic protein kinase activity is decreased to 50% of the control value. The protein substrate specificity of the protein kinase that is present in the nucleus in response to dibutyryl-adenosine cyclic 3':5'-monophosphate stimulation is similar to that of cytoplasmic, adenosine cyclic 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent, protein kinase but is distinct from that of the enzyme(s) present in control nuclei. The predominant species to protein kinase from stimulated nuclei has a sedimentation constant of 3.9 S. This value is identical to that of the catalytic subunit of cytoplasmic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase. These data suggest that some of the effects of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate on nuclear events may be mediated through its interaction with the inactive protein kinase holoenzyme in the cytoplasm and the subsequent redistribution of the active catalytic subunits generated by this interaction.

Three protein kinase activities are found in nuclei from three different murine cells (Ehrlich ascites cells, mouse L cells and rat glioma cells). Two of these activities are soluble, one is bound to chromatin. The soluble enzymes are similar, if not identical, to the cytoplasmic protein kinases. The chromatin-bound, adenosine-cyclic-3':5'-monophosphate-independent enzyme is not found in the cytoplasm. This enzyme is composed of one subunit with a molecular weight of 80000-90000. Some biochemical properties of this enzyme are described. A brief description of a nuclear enzyme, which dephosphorylates phosphorylated histones, is also given.

Nuclear and cytoplasmic protein kinases were measured during the traverse of synchronous CHO cultures through G1 into S phase. Cells were synchronized by selective detachment of cells blocked in metaphase using colcemid. Nuclei were isolated and the protein kinases extracted from the nuclear preparation with 0.6 M NaCl. This procedure solubilized greater than 90% of the total protein kinase activity present in the nuclear preparation. DEAE chromatography of this extract showed 5 apparently different ionic forms of nuclear protein kinases. The nuclear protein kinases preferred casein and phosvitin to histone as substrates and were cyclic AMP-independent. Nuclear protein kinase activities increased greater than two-fold, when expressed as units of activity per cell nucleus, during G1 phase traverse, concomitant with a 70% increase in nuclear non-histone proteins (those soluble in 0.6 M NaCl). This resulted in only a 40% increase in the specific activities (units/microgram protein in 0.6 M NaCl extractable nuclear fraction) of these enzymes as cells progressed through G1 into S phase. This was in contrast to cytoplasmic cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activities which also increased two-fold during progression through G1 phase while total cellular protein increased less than 20%. Activation of, as well as synthesis of, cyclic AMP-dependent cytoplasmic protein kinases during G1 phase suggests a regulatory mechanism for precise temporal phosphorylation, whereas the constant specific activity in nuclear kinases during cell cycle is more compatible with the maintenance of bulk phosphorylation processes in the nucleus.

In 32P incorporation experiments with intact adrenocortical cells, adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) or adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) induced a rapid and transient increase of approximately 300-500% in the phosphorylation of a 32P-containing cytoplasmic protein of about 150,000 daltons (APS150). Half-maximal stimulation of APS150 phosphorylation was observed with about 3 pM ACTH. Receptor-bound cAMP, corticosterone production, and the appearance of phosphorylated APS150 increased in parallel with respect to both time and ACTH concentration. All three responses were dependent on extracellular calcium. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide suggested a half-life of APS150 of about 10 min. The time course of 32P incorporation into ACTH-induced APS150 in the absence and presence of nonradioactive phosphate shows that the phosphorylation of APS150 is under simultaneous control of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and of phosphoatase activity. Thus a rapid ACTH-dependent and cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation in intact adrenocortical cells within steroidogenic ACTH concentrations has now been demonstrated.

Cytoplasmic and membrane fractions prepared from human peripheral-blood lymphocytes both contained cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity and endogenous protein kinase substrates. Protein kinase activity in the particulate fractions was not eluted with 0.25 M-NaCl, suggesting that it was not derived from non-specifically absorbed soluble cytoplasmic protein kinase. Nor was the particulate protein kinase activity eluted by treatment with cyclic AMP, suggesting that the catalytic subunit is membrane-bound and arguing against cyclic AMP-induced translocation of particulate activity. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein-phosphorylating activity in the cytoplasmic fraction was highly sensitive to inhibition by Mn2+, and was co-eluted from DEAE-cellulose primarily with type-I rabbit skeletal-muscle kinase. Cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylating activity in the plasma-membrane fractions was stimulated at low [Mn2+] and inhibited only at high [Mn2+]. When solubilized with Nonidet P-40, plasma-membrane protein kinase was co-eluted from DEAE-cellulose with type-II rabbit muscle kinase. These differences, together with the strong association of the particulate kinases with the particulate fraction, suggest the possibility of compartmentalized protein phosphorylation in intact lymphocytes.

Subcellular fractionation of oviduct tissue from estrogen-treated chicks indicated that the bulk of the protein kinase activity of this tissue is located in the cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions, DEAE-cellulose chromatography of cytosol revealed a major peak of cAMP stimulatable activity eluting at 0.2 M KCl. This peak was further characterized and found to exhibit properties consistent with cytoplasmic cAMP dependent protein kinases isolated from other tissues; it had a Km for ATP of 2 X 10(-5) M, preferred basic proteins such as histones, as substrate, and had a M of 165 000. Addition of 10(-6) M cAMP caused the holoenzyme to dissociate into cAMP binding regulatory subunit and a protein kinase catalytic subunit. Extraction of purified oviduct nuclei with 0.3 M KCl released greater than 80% of the kinase activity in this fraction. Upon elution from phospho-cellulose, the nuclear extract was resolved into two equal peaks of kinase activity (designated I and II). Peak I had a sedimentation coefficient of 3S and a Km for ATP of 13 muM. while peak II had a sedimentation coefficient of 6S and a Km for ATP of 9 muM. Both enzymes preferred alpha-casein as a substrate over phosvitin or whole histone, although they exhibited different salt-activity profiles. The cytoplasmic and nuclear enzymes were well separated on phospho-cellulose and this resin was used to quantitate the amount of cAMP dependent histone kinase activity in the nucleus and the amount of casein kinase activity in the cytosol. Protein kinase activity in nuclei from estrogen-stimulated chicks was found to be 40% greater than hormone-withdrawn animals. This increase in activity was not due to translocation of the cytoplasmic protein kinase in response to hormone, but to an increase in nuclear (casein) kinase activity. During the course of this work, we observed small but significant amounts of cAMP binding activity very tightly bound to the nuclear fraction. Solubilization of the binding activity by sonication in high salt allowed comparison studies to be performed which indicated that the nuclear binding protein is identical with the cytoplasmic cAMP binding regulatory subunit. The possible role of the nuclear binding activity is discussed.

The role of thyroxin and thyroxin action modulator (cytoplasmic protein mediating some hormonal effects on the mitochondria and nucleus) in rat liver and brain protein phosphorylation was studied in experiments. In the liver, an organ sensitive to thyroid hormones, the modulator was found to stimulate the activity of specific protein kinases contributing to protein phosphorylation, and co-incubation of physiologic concentrations of T4 with the modulator enhanced the stimulatory effect. In the brain change of the thyroid status did not change the protein kinase activation. Incubation of T4 and thyroxin effect modulator did not change the enzymic activity either.

Pinealocytes and retinal photoreceptor cells contain an unusual cytoplasmic complex composed of the G beta gamma dimer of GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) tightly bound to an acidic 33 kDa phosphoprotein termed MEKA or phosducin; MEKA is a substrate of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. This study characterized the developmental appearance of these and two related proteins, G gamma and S-antigen, in pineal and retinal tissue. MEKA was absent in the pineal gland prior to birth, at a time when it was possible to detect G beta in pineal cytoplasm, indicating that the appearance of G beta in the cytoplasm precedes that of MEKA and does not appear to require the presence of MEKA. The absence of MEKA at this time indicates that the cyclic AMP stimulation of pineal serotonin N-acetyltransferase activity is not mediated by MEKA, which has been considered as a possible role of MEKA. After postnatal day 7, pineal MEKA and cytoplasmic G beta increased in a parallel manner, with peak values occurring at about postnatal day 21. Thereafter, both proteins in the pineal gland decreased in a parallel fashion to 10 and 35% of their peak values, respectively; in contrast, the cytoplasmic protein S-antigen and membrane associated G beta remained at maximal levels after this time. Whereas both MEKA and G beta decreased late in development in the pineal gland, these proteins either increased or remained constant in the retina. These tissue-specific patterns were found to differ from those of another cytosolic protein found exclusively in the pineal gland and retina, S-antigen, which remained constant after day 21 in the pineal gland but decreased in the retina late in life.

A unique form of nucleoplasmic and cytoplasmic protein glycosylation, O-linked GlcNAc, has previously been detected, using Gal transferase labeling techniques, on a myriad of proteins (for review see Hart, G. W., Haltiwanger, R. S., Holt, G. D., and Kelly, W. G. (1989a) Annu. Rev. Biochem. 58, 841-874), including many RNA polymerase II transcription factors (Jackson, S. P., and Tjian, R. (1988) Cell 55, 125-133). However, virtually nothing is known about the degree of glycosylation at individual sites, or, indeed, the actual sites of attachment of O-GlcNAc on transcription factors. In this paper we provide rigorous evidence for the occurrence and locations of O-GlcNAc on the c-fos transcription factor, serum response factor (SRF), expressed in an insect cell line. Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) of proteolytic digests of SRF provides evidence for the presence of a single substoichiometric O-GlcNAc residue on each of four peptides isolated after sequential cyanogen bromide, tryptic, and proline specific enzyme digestion: these peptides are 306VSASVSP312, 274GTTSTIQTAP283, 313SAVSSADGTVLK324, and 374DSSTDLTQTSSSGTVTLP391. Using an array of techniques, including manual Edman degradation, aminopeptidase, and elastase digestion, together with FAB-MS, the major sites of O-GlcNAc attachment were shown to be serine residues within short tandem repeat regions. The highest level of glycosylation was found on the SSS tandem repeat of peptide (374-391) which is situated within the transcriptional activation domain of SRF. The other glycosylation sites observed in SRF are located in the region of the protein between the DNA binding domain and the transcriptional activation domain. Glycosylation of peptides (274-283) and (313-324) was found to occur on the serine in the TTST tandem repeat and on serine 316 in the SS repeat, respectively. The lowest level of glycosylation was recovered in peptide (306-312) which lacks tandem repeats. All the glycosylation sites identified in SRF are situated in a relatively short region of the primary sequence close to or within the transcriptional activation domain which is distant from the major sites of phosphorylation catalyzed by casein kinase II.

The major DNA-binding protein, or infected-cell protein 8 (ICP8), encoded by herpes simplex virus can localize to the cell nucleus independently of other viral proteins. To define the nuclear localization signals within ICP8, we performed several forms of mutagenesis on the cloned ICP8 gene. Deletion analysis of the ICP8 gene showed that several portions of ICP8 are involved in its nuclear localization. To determine whether these regions were independent localization signals, we introduced various portions of the ICP8 gene into a series of cassette plasmids which allowed expression of fusion proteins containing pyruvate kinase, normally a cytoplasmic protein, fused to various portions of ICP8. These results showed that the carboxyl-terminal 28 residues are the only portion of ICP8 capable of targeting protein kinase into the nucleus. However, inclusion of certain additional regions of ICP8 into the fusion protein led to an inhibition of nuclear localization. Therefore, the carboxyl-terminal 28 residues of ICP8 can act independently as a nuclear localization signal, but certain conformational constraints or folding or assembly requirements in the remainder of the protein can affect the nuclear localization of the protein. Our results demonstrate that sequences distant from a nuclear localization signal can affect its ability to function. A set of fusion vectors has been isolated which should be of general use for making 5' or 3' fusions in any reading frame to rapidly map localization signals.
