Inhibitor-1 is a protein which inhibits phosphorylase phosphatase only when it has been phosphorylated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase [Huang, F. L. and Glinsmann, W. H. (1976) Eur. J. Biochem. 70, 419--426]. Inhibitor-1 was purified by a heat treatment at 90 degrees C, precipitation with ammonium sulphate, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, gel filtration on Sephadex G-100, and finally rechromatography of the phosphorylated protein on DEAE-cellulose, The protein was purified 4000-fold and 1.5 mg per 1000 g muscle was obtained in seven days corresponding to an overall yield of 15-20%. The purified protein was in a state approaching homogeneity as judged by the criteria of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and ultracentrifugal analysis. The concentration of inhibitor-1 in vivo was calculated to be 1.5 micron, which is at least as high as the concentration of phosphorylase phosphatase. The amino acid composition of inhibitor-1 showed several unusual features. Glutamic acid and proline accounted for nearly one third of the residues, tyrosine, tryptophan and cysteine were absent, and the content of aromatic amino acids was very low. The molecular weight measured by sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation was 19200 and by amino acid analysis was 20800. These values were lower than the mol. wt 26000 determined empirically by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate, and much lower than the apparent molecular weight of 60000 estimated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The gel filtration behaviour, stability to heating at 100 degrees C and amino acid composition suggest that inhibitor-1 may possess little ordered structure. The phosphorylated from of inhibitor-1 contained close to one molecule of covalently bound phosphate per mole of protein, which is consistent with the previous finding of a unique decapeptide sequence at the site of phosphorylation, Ile-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Pro-Thr(P)-Pro-Ala-Thr- [Cohen, P., Rylatt, D. B. and Nimmo, G. A. (1977) FEBS Lett. 76, 182-186].the phosphorylated form of inhibitor-1 inhibited phosphorylase phosphatase activity (0.02U) by 50% at a concentration of only 7.0 nM in the standard assay, but the phosphorylated decapeptide was 1000-2000 times less effective as an inhibitor.

A potent inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), inhibitor protein-1 (KCIP-1), isolated from sheep brain has been shown to consist of eight isoforms by reverse-phase HPLC. Direct protein sequence analysis has revealed these to be the same as those of 14-3-3 protein, described as an activator of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases involved in neurotransmitter biosynthesis. The N-termini of KCIP-1 isoforms were shown to be acetylated, and secondary structure predictions revealed a high degree of alpha-helix with an amphipathic nature. KCIP-1 showed no inhibitory activity towards protein kinase M (the catalytic fragment of PKC) and had no effect on the activities of three other protein kinases, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and casein kinase 2. Four forms of KCIP-1 were shown to be substrates for PKC in vitro, but none were phosphorylated by the other protein kinases mentioned above.

The 14-3-3 proteins are a family of acidic proteins found mainly in the brain and are suggested to have a role in monoamine synthesis based on their ability to activate tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases in the presence of type II Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. Recently, however, it has been demonstrated that a member of the 14-3-3 family, termed Exo1, stimulates Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis in permeabilized adrenal chromaffin cells, suggesting that this protein family may influence the protein kinase C-mediated control of Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis. Here we show that the 14-3-3 proteins activate protein kinase C at about 2-fold more than the known level of the activated protein kinase, i.e. the activity of protein kinase C in the presence of Ca2+ and phospholipids. This raises the possibility that the cellular activity of protein kinase C is regulated by diverse members of the 14-3-3 family and that the reported ability of Exo1 to reactivate Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis is based on its stimulatory effect on protein kinase C activity. The 14-3-3 family, therefore, appears to be a multifunctional regulator of cell signalling processes mediated by two types of Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C and type II calmodulin-dependent protein kinase.

We present the nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone of mRNA encoding human 14-3-3 protein, a protein kinase-dependent activator of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases and an endogenous inhibitor of protein kinase C. The 1,730-nucleotide sequence of the cloned cDNA contains 191 bp of a 5'-noncoding region, the complete 738 bp of coding region, and 801 bp of a 3'-noncoding region containing three canonical polyadenylation signals. The 14-3-3 protein eta chain cDNA encoded a polypeptide of 246 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight 28,196. The predicted amino acid sequence of human 14-3-3 protein eta was highly homologous to that of previously reported bovine and rat 14-3-3 proteins with only two amino acid differences. The sequence carries structural features as putative regions responsible for activation of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases and for inhibition of Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C. Northern blot analysis demonstrated widespread expression of the 14-3-3 protein eta chain in cultured cell lines derived from various human tumors. These findings suggest the conservative functions of the 14-3-3 protein among species. Spot blot hybridization analysis with flow-sorted chromosomes showed that the human 14-3-3 protein eta chain gene is assigned to chromosome 22.

Purified preparations of the Helminthosporium victoriae 190S (Hv190S) virus contain two sedimenting components that differ in capsid structure. The slower sedimenting component (190S-1) contained p88 and p83 as the major capsid proteins; the faster component (190S-2) contained p88 and p78. Previous peptide-mapping studies have shown the three capsid proteins to be closely related. Analysis by SDS-PAGE of in vivo-radiolabeled Hv190S virions indicated that 32P was predominantly incorporated in p88. Significantly less was detected in p83 and none in p78. Similar results were obtained in in vitro phosphorylation studies using [gamma-32P]ATP and purified 190S-1 and 190S-2. The in vitro results suggest that the Hv190S virions copurify with a protein kinase activity that catalyzes the transfer of gamma-phosphate from ATP to a target protein, presumably p78 in the 190S-2 virions and p83 in the 190S-1 component. Selective chemical cleavage at tryptophan residues of in vitro 32P-labeled capsid proteins revealed four labeled peptides among the cleavage products of both p83 and p88. Radioiodination studies with intact Hv190S virions indicated that p88 and p83, but not the nonphosphorylated p78, were accessible to iodination, suggesting that capsid protein phosphorylation entailed conformational changes.

Tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases are the key enzymes in the regulation of catecholamine and serotonin levels in neurons and other endocrine cells. Among the mechanisms proposed for the modulation of activity, phosphorylation of the enzyme is believed to be of functional significance with respect to the stimulus-response coupling, but the precise mechanism is unknown. Here, we show the existence of multiple, distinct forms of the 14-3-3 activator protein, a neuronal protein essential for activation of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II. Bovine brain 14-3-3 protein was resolved by reversed-phase chromatography into seven polypeptides (alpha to eta), all of which were active towards tryptophan hydroxylase when the renatured preparations were assayed in the presence of Ca2+, calmodulin and the protein kinase. Determination of the amino acid sequences of the beta and gamma chains and comparison of the sequences with the previously determined sequence of the eta chain revealed that these molecules are highly homologous, and share a common structural feature in containing an extremely acidic C-terminal region predicted as a domain for interaction with the phosphorylated hydroxylases. Northern blot analysis indicated that the beta, gamma and eta chain are expressed abundantly in the brain; however, these polypeptides appear to be expressed with different tissue specificities because gamma mRNA is found only in the brain, while lower levels of beta and eta mRNAs are detected in several other tissues. These findings suggest the involvement of a diverse family of the activator protein in the stimulus-coupled, Ca2(+)-dependent regulation of monoamine biosynthesis.

The unfolding of the recombinant regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase I was followed by monitoring the intrinsic protein fluorescence. Unfolding proceeds in at least two stages. First, the quenching of fluorescence due to cAMP binding is abolished at relatively low levels of urea (less than 2 M) and is observed as an increase in intensity at 340 nm. The high-affinity binding of cAMP is retained in 3 M urea even though the quenching is lost. The second stage of unfolding, presumably representing unfolding of the polypeptide chain, is seen as a shift in lambda max from 340 to 353 nm. The midpoint concentration, Cm, for this process is 5.0 M. Cyclic AMP binding activity is lost at a half-maximal urea concentration of 3.5 M and precedes the shift in lambda max. Unfolding of the protein in the presence of urea was fully reversible; furthermore, the presence of excess levels of cAMP stabilized the regulatory subunit. A free energy value (delta GDH2O) of 7.1 +/- 0.2 kcal/mol was calculated for the native form of the protein when denaturation was induced with either urea or guanidine hydrochloride. Iodide quenching of tryptophan fluorescence was used to elucidate the number of tryptophan residues accessible during various stages of the unfolding process. In the native cAMP-bound form of the regulatory subunit, only one of the three tryptophans in the regulatory subunit is quenched by iodide while more than two tryptophans can be quenched with iodide in the presence of 3 M urea.

Peptide-induced conformational changes in five isofunctional mutants of calmodulin (CaM), each bearing a single tryptophan residue either at the seventh position of each of the four calcium-binding loops (i.e., amino acids 26, 62, 99, and 135) or in the central helix (amino acid 81) were studied by using fluorescence spectroscopy. The peptides RS20F and RS20CK correspond to CaM-binding amino acid sequence segments of either nonmuscle myosin light chain kinase (nmMLCK) or calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMPK-II), respectively. Both steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence data were collected from the various peptide-CaM complexes. Steady-state fluorescence intensity measurements indicated that, in the presence of an excess of calcium, both peptides bind to the calmodulin mutants with a 1:1 stoichiometry. The tryptophans located in loops I and IV exhibited red-shifted emission maxima (356 nm), high quantum yields (0.3), and long average lifetimes (6 ns). They responded in a similar manner to peptide binding, by only slight changes in their fluorescence features. In contrast, the fluorescence intensity of the tryptophans in loops II and III decreased markedly, and their fluorescence spectrum was blue-shifted upon peptide binding. Analysis of the tryptophan fluorescence decay of the last mentioned calmodulins supports a model in which the equilibrium between two (Trp-99) or three (Trp-62) states of these tryptophan residues, each characterized by a different lifetime, was altered toward the blue-shifted short lifetime component upon peptide binding. Taken together, these data provide new evidence that both lobes of calmodulin are involved in peptide binding. Both peptides induced similar changes in the fluorescence properties of the tryptophan residues located in the calcium-binding loops, with the exception of calmodulin with Trp-135. For this last mentioned calmodulin, slight differences were observed. Tryptophan in the central helix responded differently to RS20F and RS20CK binding. RS20F binding induced a red-shift in the emission maximum of Trp-81 while RS20CK induced a blue-shift. The quenching rate of Trp-81 by iodide was slightly reduced upon RS20CK binding, while RS20F induced a 2-fold increase. These results provide evidence that the environment of Trp-81 is different in each case and are, therefore, consistent with the hypothesis that the central helix can play a differential role in the recognition of, or response to, CaM-binding structures.

To examine the phosphorylation of casein kinase II in cells, the enzyme was isolated by immunoprecipitation from metabolically labeled human epidermal carcinoma A431 cells using polyclonal antipeptide antibodies specific for either the alpha subunit or the beta subunit of the enzyme. When isolated from 32P-labeled cells, the beta subunit was found to be significantly labeled on serine residues whereas only minimal labeling was associated with the alpha subunit. In vitro, the beta subunit of purified bovine casein kinase II was autophosphorylated, also on serine residues. Cleavage of the beta subunit, that had been autophosphorylated in vitro, at tryptophan 9 and tryptophan 12 using N-chlorosuccinimide demonstrated that the autophosphorylation site is located near the amino terminus of the protein, most likely at serine 2 and serine 3. Two-dimensional maps of phosphopeptides generated by digestion of the beta subunit with endoproteinase Glu-C indicted that the majority of the phosphate that was incorporated into the protein in cells was at sites that were indistinguishable from the sites that were autophosphorylated in vitro. In addition to phosphorylation at the autophosphorylation site, the beta subunit is also phosphorylated at an additional site, serine 209, in intact cells. This residue, which is near the carboxyl terminus of the protein, can be phosphorylated in vitro by p34cdc2.

A highly specific antiserum was prepared against bovine brain 14-3-3 protein, a protein kinase-dependent activator of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases. The immunoassay using this antiserum proved the presence of 14-3-3 protein in various bovine tissues and in brains of various vertebrate species. The quantitative analysis indicated that the tissue distribution of 14-3-3 protein is more closely related to the known distributions of the Ca2(+)-dependent protein kinases, i.e., Ca2+/calmodulin- and Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinases, rather than those of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases. This result, together with the available data on this protein, suggests potential roles of the 14-3-3 protein in more diverse kinase-mediated processes than the predicted role in monoamine synthesis.
