In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, phosphorylation of translation initiation factor eIF2 by protein kinase GCN2 leads to increased translation of the transcriptional activator GCN4 in amino acid-starved cells. The GCN1 and GCN20 proteins are components of a protein complex required for the stimulation of GCN2 kinase activity under starvation conditions. GCN20 is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family, most of the members of which function as membrane-bound transporters, raising the possibility that the GCN1/GCN20 complex regulates GCN2 indirectly as an amino acid transporter. At odds with this idea, indirect immunofluorescence revealed cytoplasmic localization of GCN1 and no obvious association with plasma or vacuolar membranes. In addition, a fraction of GCN1 and GCN20 cosedimented with polysomes and 80S ribosomes, and the ribosome association of GCN20 was largely dependent on GCN1. The C-terminal 84% of GCN20 containing the ABCs was found to be dispensable for complex formation with GCN1 and for the stimulation of GCN2 kinase function. Because ABCs provide the energy-coupling mechanism for ABC transporters, these results also contradict the idea that GCN20 regulates GCN2 as an amino acid transporter. The N-terminal 15 to 25% of GCN20, which is critically required for its regulatory function, was found to interact with an internal segment of GCN1 similar in sequence to translation elongation factor 3 (EF3). Based on these findings, we propose that GCN1 performs an EF3-related function in facilitating the activation of GCN2 by uncharged tRNA on translating ribosomes. The physical interaction between GCN20 and the EF3-like domain in GCN1 could allow for modulation of GCN1 activity, and the ABC domains in GCN20 may be involved in this regulatory function. A human homolog of GCN1 has been identified, and the portion of this protein most highly conserved with yeast GCN1 has sequence similarity to EF3. Thus, similar mechanisms for the detection of uncharged tRNA on translating ribosomes may operate in yeast and human cells.

Expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), and of at least one other member of the ATP-binding cassette family of transport proteins, P-glycoprotein, is associated with the electrodiffusional movement of the nucleotide ATP. Evidence directly implicating CFTR expression with ATP channel activity, however, is still missing. Here it is reported that reconstitution into a lipid bilayer of highly purified CFTR of human epithelial origin enables the permeation of both Cl- and ATP. Similar to previously reported data for in vivo ATP current of CFTR-expressing cells, the reconstituted channels displayed competition between Cl- and ATP and had multiple conductance states in the presence of Cl- and ATP. Purified CFTR-mediated ATP currents were activated by protein kinase A and ATP (1 mM) from the "intracellular" side of the molecule and were inhibited by diphenylamine-2-carboxylate, glibenclamide, and anti-CFTR antibodies. The absence of CFTR-mediated electrodiffusional ATP movement may thus be a relevant component of the pleiotropic cystic fibrosis phenotype.

Control of CTFR Channel Gating by Phosphorylation and Nucleotide Hydrolysis. Physiol. Rev. 79, Suppl.: S77-S107, 1999. - The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel is the protein product of the gene defective in cystic fibrosis, the most common lethal genetic disease among Caucasians. Unlike any other known ion channel, CFTR belongs to the ATP-binding cassette superfamily of transporters and, like all other family members, CFTR includes two cytoplasmic nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), both of which bind and hydrolyze ATP. It appears that in a single open-close gating cycle, an individual CFTR channel hydrolyzes one ATP molecule at the NH2-terminal NBD to open the channel, and then binds and hydrolyzes a second ATP molecule at the COOH-terminal NBD to close the channel. This complex coordinated behavior of the two NBDs is orchestrated by multiple protein kinase A-dependent phosphorylation events, at least some of which occur within the third large cytoplasmic domain, called the regulatory domain. Two or more kinds of protein phosphatases selectively dephosphorylate distinct sites. Under appropriately controlled conditions of progressive phosphorylation or dephosphorylation, three functionally different phosphoforms of a single CFTR channel can be distinguished on the basis of channel opening and closing kinetics. Recording single CFTR channel currents affords an unprecedented opportunity to reproducibly examine, and manipulate, individual ATP hydrolysis cycles in a single molecule, in its natural environment, in real time.

Several proteins belonging to the ATP-binding cassette superfamily can affect ion channel function. These include the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, the sulfonylurea receptor, and the multidrug resistance protein P-glycoprotein (MDR1). We measured whole cell swelling-activated Cl- currents (ICl,swell) in parental cells and cells expressing wild-type MDR1 or a phosphorylation-defective mutant (Ser-661, Ser-667, and Ser-671 replaced by Ala). Stimulation of protein kinase C (PKC) with a phorbol ester reduced the rate of increase in ICl,swell only in cells that express MDR1. PKC stimulation had no effect on steady-state ICl,swell. Stimulation of protein kinase A (PKA) with 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate reduced steady-state ICl, swell only in MDR1-expressing cells. PKA stimulation had no effect on the rate of ICl,swell activation. The effects of stimulation of PKA and PKC on ICl,swell were additive (i.e., decrease in the rate of activation and reduction in steady-state ICl,swell). The effects of PKA and PKC stimulation were absent in cells expressing the phosphorylation-defective mutant. In summary, it is likely that phosphorylation of MDR1 by PKA and by PKC alters swelling-activated Cl- channels by independent mechanisms and that Ser-661, Ser-667, and Ser-671 are involved in the responses of ICl,swell to stimulation of PKA and PKC. These results support the notion that MDR1 phosphorylation affects ICl,swell.

The pleiotropic drug resistance protein, Pdr5p, is an ATP-binding cassette transporter of the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Overexpression of Pdr5p results in increased cell resistance to a variety of cytotoxic compounds, a phenotype reminiscent of the multiple drug resistance seen in tumor cells. Pdr5p and two other yeast ATP-binding cassette transporters, Snq2p and Yor1p, were found to be phosphorylated on serine residues in vitro. Mutations in the plasma membrane-bound casein kinase I isoforms, Yck1p and Yck2p, abolished Pdr5p phosphorylation and modified the multiple drug resistance profile. We showed Pdr5p to be ubiquitylated when overexpressed. However, instability of Pdr5p was only seen in Yck1p- and Yck2p-deficient strains, in which it was degraded in the vacuole via a Pep4p-dependent mechanism. Our results suggest that casein kinase I activity is required for membrane trafficking of Pdr5p to the cell surface. In the absence of functional Yck1p and Yck2p, Pdr5p is transported to the vacuole for degradation.

Yeast cells display an adaptive stress response when exposed to weak organic acids at low pH. This adaptation is important in the spoilage of preserved foods, as it allows growth in the presence of weak acid food preservatives. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this stress response leads to strong induction of the Pdr12 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, which catalyses the active efflux of weak acid anions from the cytosol of adapted cells. S. cerevisiae cells lacking the Cmk1 isoform of Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase are intrinsically resistant to weak acid stress, in that they do not need to spend a long adaptive period in lag phase before resuming growth after exposure to this stress. This resistance of the cmk1 mutant is Pdr12 dependent and, unlike with wild-type S. cerevisiae, cmk1 cells are capable of performing Pdr12-specific functions such as energy-dependent cellular extrusion of fluorescein and benzoate. However, they have neither higher PDR12 gene promoter activity nor higher Pdr12 protein levels. The increased Pdr12 activity in cmk1 cells is therefore caused by Cmk1 exerting a negative post-transcriptional influence over the activity of the Pdr12 ABC transporter, a transporter protein that is constitutively expressed in low-pH yeast cultures. This is the first preliminary evidence that shows a protein kinase, either directly or indirectly, regulating the activity of a yeast ABC transporter.

The bile salt export pump (Bsep), a member of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily of transporters, mediates the ATP-dependent canalicular secretion of bile salts. We have cloned and expressed the mouse Bsep (mBsep) protein in Sf9 insect cells, and characterized its transport and ATPase properties. Because its deduced amino acid sequence predicts multiple phosphorylation sites for protein kinase A, protein kinase C (PKC) and Ca(2+)-calmodulin dependent kinase II, we have also tested whether mBsep undergoes phosphorylation. MBsep transports both glycine and taurine conjugated bile salts. Sf9 cell membranes that express mBsep exhibit higher basal ATPase activity than control membranes, and this is further stimulated by bile salts and inhibited by vanadate. Taurochenodeoxycholate is transported with the highest affinity and is the most potent inducer of ATPase activity. Cyclosporin A, glibenclamide and rifamycin SV, all competitive inhibitors of Bsep transport, also reduced the bile salt-stimulated ATPase activity. MBsep exists as a phospho-protein when expressed in Sf9 cells and the immunoprecipitated mBsep complex is a substrate for the catalytic subunit of PKC. When mBsep and the alpha-isoform of mouse PKC are co-expressed in Sf9 cells, a ninefold stimulation of phosphorylation occurs. This is further increased to 18-fold after activation by phorbol ester. Given that bile salts activate selected PKC isoforms in hepatocytes, including the alpha isoform, the phosphorylation of mBsep by PKCalpha may represent a point of regulation for this transporter that is mediated by its own substrate.

ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) is a key mediator of cholesterol and phospholipid efflux to apolipoprotein particles. We show that ABCA1 is a constitutively phosphorylated protein in both RAW macrophages and in a human embryonic kidney cell line expressing ABCA1. Furthermore, we demonstrate that phosphorylation of ABCA1 is mediated by protein kinase A (PKA) or a PKA-like kinase in vivo. Through site-directed mutagenesis studies of consensus PKA phosphorylation sites and in vitro PKA kinase assays, we show that Ser-1042 and Ser-2054, located in the nucleotide binding domains of ABCA1, are major phosphorylation sites for PKA. ApoA-I-dependent phospholipid efflux was decreased significantly by mutation of Ser-2054 alone and Ser-1042/Ser-2054 but was not significantly impaired with Ser-1042 alone. The mechanism by which ABCA1 phosphorylation affected ApoA-I-dependent phospholipid efflux did not involve either alterations in ApoA-I binding or changes in ABCA1 protein stability. These studies demonstrate a novel serine (Ser-2054) on the ABCA1 protein crucial for PKA phosphorylation and for regulation of ABCA1 transporter activity.

Previous studies in rat bile canalicular membrane vesicles and WIF-B9 cells revealed that cAMP-induced trafficking of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters to the canalicular membrane and their activation require phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) products. In the present studies, canalicular secretion of fluorescein isothiocyanate-glycocholate in WIF-B9 cells was increased by cAMP and a decapeptide that enhances PI3-K activity; these effects were inhibited by wortmannin. To determine the mechanism(s) whereby cAMP activates PI3-K, we examined signal transduction pathways in WIF-B9 and COS-7 cells. cAMP activated PI3-K in both cell lines in a phosphotyrosine-independent manner. PI3-K activity increased in association with p110 beta in both cell lines. The effect of cAMP was KT-5720 sensitive, suggesting involvement of protein kinase A. Expression of a dominant-negative beta-adrenergic receptor kinase COOH terminus (beta-ARKct), which blocks G beta gamma signaling, decreased PI3-K activation in both cell lines. cAMP increased GTP-bound Ras in COS-7 but not WIF-B9 cells. Expression of dominant-negative Ras abolished cAMP-mediated PI3-K, which suggests that the effect is downstream of Ras and G beta gamma. These data indicate that cAMP activates PI3-K in a cell type-specific manner and provide insight regarding mechanisms of PI3-K activation required for bile acid secretion.

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) functions in vivo as a cAMP-activated chloride channel. A member of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily of membrane transporters, CFTR contains two transmembrane domains (TMDs), two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), and a regulatory (R) domain. It is presumed that CFTR couples ATP hydrolysis to channel gating, and as a first step in addressing this issue directly, we have established conditions for purification of biochemical quantities of human CFTR expressed in Sf9 insect cells. Use of an 8-azido[alpha-(32)P]ATP-binding and vanadate-trapping assay allowed us to devise conditions to preserve CFTR function during purification of a C-terminal His(10)-tagged variant after solubilization with lysophosphatidylglycerol (1%) and diheptanoylphosphatidylcholine (0.3%) in the presence of excess phospholipid. Study of purified and reconstituted CFTR showed that it binds nucleotide with an efficiency comparable to that of P-glycoprotein and that it hydrolyzes ATP at rates sufficient to account for presumed in vivo activity [V(max) of 58 +/- 5 nmol min(-1) (mg of protein)(-1), K(M)(MgATP) of 0.15 mM]. In further work, we found that neither nucleotide binding nor ATPase activity was altered by phosphorylation (using protein kinase A) or dephosphorylation (with protein phosphatase 2B); we also observed inhibition (approximately 40%) of ATP hydrolysis by reduced glutathione but not by DTT. To evaluate CFTR function as an anion channel, we introduced an in vitro macroscopic assay based on the equilibrium exchange of proteoliposome-entrapped radioactive tracers. This revealed a CFTR-dependent transport of (125)I that could be inhibited by known chloride channel blockers; no significant CFTR-dependent transport of [alpha-(32)P]ATP was observed. We conclude that heterologous expression of CFTR in Sf9 cells can support manufacture and purification of fully functional CFTR. This should aid in further biochemical characterization of this important molecule.
