Accelerated calcium transport into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of the heart may mediate the inotropic actions of agents that act to increase adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) within the cell. Studies in our laboratory have shown that ATP-dependent Ca uptake by cardiac microsomes rich in SR is enhanced by pretreatment with bovine cardiac cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-PK). Ca2+-activated ATPase is increased concomitantly with Ca uptake, stoichiometric coupling of 2 moles of Ca2+ taken up per mole of ATP hydrolyzed remaining constant. The steady state level of Ca binding is not increased by cyclic AMP-PK pretreatment, suggesting that the turnover rate of the transport system rather than the number of transport sites is increased. Phosphorylation of the SR by protein kinase is half-maximal at approximately 10(-7) M cyclic AMP, a value similar to that which gives half-maximal stimulation of both Ca uptake and Ca2+-activated ATPase. Over 80 percent of the 32P associated with membrane protein is identifiable as phosphoserine and phosphothreonine. The 32P is incorporated into a 22,000-dalton protein as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This protein, which we have tentatively named phospholamban (lambda alpha mu beta alpha psi usilon epsilon omega = to receive) appears to particiapte in the regulation of calcium transport by the heart's SR and may play a role in the inotropic actions of drugs, such as epinephrine, which act upon the cyclic AMP-PK system.

At least three mechanical changes characterize the response of cardiac muscle to agents that enhance cyclic AMP production. In common with other inotropic interventions, tension is augmented and the rate of tension rise is increased. The third response, acceleration of the rate of relaxation, is characteristic of the actions of beta-adrenergic agonists. These mechanical effects can be attributed to changes in (1) the amount of Ca2+ released during systole, (2) the rate of Ca2+ release at the onset of systole, and (3) the rate at which Ca2+ is reaccumulated by the sarcoplasmic reticulum at the end of systole. The ability of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases to phosphorylate the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum in vitro parallels stimulation of both Ca2+ transport and Ca2+-activated ATPase. The phosphoprotein formed in the presence of cyclic AMP and protein kinase has the chemical characteristics of a phosphoester, contains mostly phosphoserine, and has an electrophoretic mobility in SDS polyacrylamide gels that corresponds to a protein of 22,000 daltons. This 22,000-dalton protein, tentatively named phospholamban, thus differs from the acyl phosphooprotein formed by the Ca2+-transport ATPase, which as an apparent molecular weight of 90,000 to 100,000 daltons. Phospholamban has not been found in fast skeletal muscle, nor is Ca2+ transport accelerated by cyclic AMP and protein kinase in sarcoplasmic reticulum from these muslces which do not respond to beta-adrenergic agonists with accelerated relaxation. It thus appears likely that phosphorylation of phospholamban correlates both with an increased rate of Ca2+ transport by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum in vitro and accelerated relaxation in the intact myocardium. Preliminary findings are consistent with the view that phosphorylation of phospholamban may be related to other actions on Ca2+ fluxes brought about by agents which activate adenylate cyclase in the myocardium, but these interpretations must remain speculative pending more definitive studies.

A manyfold increase in phosphorylation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was seen when SR was incubated in the presence of a bovine cardiac cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and cyclic AMP. This phosphoprotein had stability characteristics of a phosphoester in which the phosphate is incorporated largely into serine, and its formation did not required calcium ions, unlike the formation of acyl phosphoprotein intermediate of calcium-transport ATPase which is present within the same membrane. When examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the protein kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation occurred at a 22,000-dalton component of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. This 22,000-dalton protein has been named "phospholamban" (lambda alpha mu beta alpha nu epsilon iota nu = to receive), based on its ability to receive phosphate from ATP. Phosphorylation of phospholamban by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was associated with the stimulation of calcium transport by the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. This stimulation was accompanied by an increase in the calcium-activated ATPase activity, indicating that the overall rate of calcium transport rather than its efficiency is enhanced by protein kinase. The 22,000-dalton phopholamban was susceptible to trypsin. Brief digestion with trypsin in the presence of 1 M sucrose prevented subsequent phosphorylation of phospholamban, while leaving the calcium pump apparently intact. Incubation of trypsin-treated sarcoplasmic reticulum with cyclic AMP-depentent protein kinase did not result in the stimulation of calcium transport. These results may suggest that phospholamban is a modulator of the calcium pump of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Phospholamban (molecular weight = 22,000), which serves as a regulator of Ca transport ATPase (molecular weight = 100,000) of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), becomes resistant to tryptic digestion upon phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PK). The protective effect of phosphorylation is accompanied by persistence of the PK-induced stimulation of Ca transport. These findings indicate that structural alteration of phospholamban upon phosphorylation is closely associated with changes in the functional properties of cardiac SR. SR from fast-contracting skeletal muscle of rabbit does not contain a 22,000-dalton substrate for cAMP-dependent PK, nor is Ca transport stimulated by exogenous PK. SR preparation isolated from slow-contracting skeletal muscle of rabbit and dog contains phospholamban, and Ca transport was found to be increased by exogenous cAMP-dependent PK. In view of the distribution of phospholamban among different types of muscle, a hypothesis is presented to explain the relaxation-promoting effects of catecholamines in cardiac and slow-contracting skeletal muscle in which phospholamban is found. This may also account for the absence of a similar effect of catecholamines in fast-contracting skeletal muscle, which does not contain a similar substrate for PK.

The heat-stable protein (protein kinase modulator), partially purified from fresh bovine heart, possessed the ability to inhibit and stimulate adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase and guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase activities, respectively. The inhibitory activity of protein kinase modulator on cAMP-dependent protein kinase was abolished almost completely by trypsin treatment, while the ability to stimulate cGMP-dependent protein kinase activity was resistant to trypsin. Fractionation by a linear potassium phosphate gradient on DEAE-cellulose column did not clearly separate both activities. Phosphorylation of cardiac microsomal component, "phospholamban" (molecular weight = 22,000), was inhibited almost completely by the saturating amounts of protein kinase modulator. This inhibition of phospholamban phosphorylation by protein kinase modulator was accompanied by a decreased Ca uptake rate that had been stimulated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These findings indicate that protein kinase modulator is functional in controlling the cAMP-dependent protein kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of phospholamban and the rate of calcium transport, lending further support for the previously proposed mechanism, in which phospholamban is assumed to serve as a regulator of calcium transport in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Calcium transport by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was compared in hyperthyroid (HT) and euthyroid (ET) rats. Both Ca2+ uptake (97 +/- 3.1 nmol/mg per min in HT vs. 63 +/- 2.9 nmol/mg per min in ET, P less than 0.01) and CA2+ -stimulated ATPase activity (61 +/- 4.1 vs. 37 +/- 1.6 nmol Pi/mg per min, P less than 0.01) were higher in the thyroxine-treated animals. These changes were accompanied by enhanced cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of cardiac SR in hyperthyroid rats (180 +/- 4.3 pmol Pi/mg per min vs. 117 +/- 4.2 pmol Pi/mg per min, P less than 0.01). SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cardiac SR showed that phosphorylation of a 22,000-dalton protein (phospholamban) primarily accounted for the differences between the two groups. There was no difference in the rate of SR dephosphorylation by endogenous phosphoprotein phosphatase between HT and ET rats. Differences in cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation between the two groups were blunted in the presence of excess exogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. These results suggest that increased levels or activity of endogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases may partially explain enhanced calcium transport by the cardiac SR of hyperthyroid animals.

The peptide compositions of rabbit skeletal- and canine cardiac-muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum preparations have been compared by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. The cardiac preparations contain many proteins in addition to the 105 000 dalton peptide which has been previously identified as the Ca2+ stimulated ATPase. Four peptide components iodinated in the presence of either free or Sepharose 4B-bound lactoperoxidase have molecular weights of 130 000 (component I), 105 000 (component II), 52 000 (component III) and 47 000 (component IV). Comparison of the labelling patterns in the presence of the detergent Triton X-100 suggests that components I, III and IV have part of their peptide internally located. Although part of component II is externally accessible to free lactoperoxidase, its iodination is decreased by Triton X-100. Iodination of phospholamban, the 22 000 dalton substrate for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, was not observed under the conditions investigated.

Canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles contain intrinsic protein phosphatase activity, which can dephosphorylate phospholamban and regulate calcium transport. This phosphatase has been suggested to be a mixture of both type 1 and type 2 enzymes (E. G. Kranias and J. Di Salvo, 1986, J. Biol. Chem. 261, 10,029-10,032). In the present study the sarcoplasmic reticulum phosphatase activity was solubilized with n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside and purified by sequential chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, polylysine-agarose, heparin-agarose, and DEAE-Sephadex. A single peak of phosphatase activity was eluted from each column and it was coincident for both phospholamban and phosphorylase a, used as substrates. The partially purified phosphatase could dephosphorylate the sites on phospholamban phosphorylated by either cAMP-dependent or calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase(s). Enzymatic activity was inhibited by inhibitor-2 and by okadaic acid (I50 = 10-20 nM), using either phosphorylase a or phospholamban as substrates. The sensitivity of the phosphatase to inhibitor-2 or okadaic acid was similar for the two sites on phospholamban, phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent and the calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinases. Phospholamban phosphatase activity was enhanced (40%) by Mg2+ or Mn2+ (3 mM) while Ca2+ (0.1-10 microM) had no effect. These characteristics suggest that the phosphatase associated with cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum is a type 1 enzyme, and this activity may participate in the regulation of Ca2+ transport through dephosphorylation of phospholamban in cardiac muscle.

Ca2+ pumps are essential for removing cytosolic Ca2+ either across the plasma membrane (PM) or into internal organelles such as the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Four genes (PMCA1, PMCA2, PMCA3 and PMCA4) have been reported to encode the PM Ca2+ pumps and three (SERCA1, SERCA2 and SERCA3) to encode the SR Ca2+ pumps. The PM Ca2+ pumps are stimulated by calmodulin, the SR Ca2+ pumps encoded by SERCA1 and SERCA2 are stimulated by phospholamban while the product of SERCA3 may be regulated directly by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Alternative splicing of the primary transcripts of several of these genes has been reported to occur in a tissue selective manner and for others to alter during ontogeny. For the PM Ca2+ pump, alternative RNA splicing may result in isoforms with altered cyclic nucleotide dependent protein kinase sensitivity. The diversity in distribution of Ca2+ pump isoforms and their regulatory factors when coupled with different Ca2+ entry mechanisms allows for tissue selectivity and plasticity in stimulus-response coupling. The roles of various Ca2+ pump isoforms, the rationale behind their tissue selective expression and the plasticity in this expression are among the new challenges to researchers in this field.

The aim of the present study was to further elucidate the physiological role of the calcium-calmodulin (Ca(2+)-Cm)-dependent protein kinase system on phospholamban phosphorylation in the intact functioning heart. The effect of increasing extracellular calcium concentration [Ca]o on phospholamban phosphorylation (PHPL) was studied under different experimental conditions: (a) regular twitches and ryanodine induced-tetani both in the presence and in the absence of 3 x 10(-8) M isoproterenol and (b) Post-stimulation potentiation (PSP), i.e. the potentiation of contractility that follows a period of rapid repetitive stimulation. In the regular twitch, the increase in [Ca]o enhanced contractility both, in the absence and in the presence of beta-stimulation without changing basal or isoproterenol stimulated cAMP levels respectively. This increase in contractility was accompanied by a significant enhancement of PHPL-from 90.6 +/- 16.4 to 216 +/- 35.2 pmols 32Pi/mg protein at 0.25 and 3.85 mM [Ca]o respectively-only when isoproterenol was present. The calmodulin antagonist W-7 significantly decreased the isoproterenol-induced phosphorylation of phospholamban at [Ca]o 1.35 mM. Similar results were obtained under tetanic conditions. When myocardial contractility was enhanced by PSP up to ten-times with respect to the regular twitch, no detectable effect in PHPL was observed. Indirect evidence obtained from skinned rat cardiac trabeculae suggested that the failure of the cAMP-independent mechanisms to phosphorylate phospholamban is not related to a deficient increase in intracellular calcium. The results support the notion that the increase in intracellular calcium induces an increase in PHPL only at high intracellular cAMP levels.
