It has been shown that the activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase increases during development. Epinephrine in vivo increases the activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase in chick skeletal muscles. The effect of hormone is lacking at embryonic stages of development and appears only before hatching. In the presence of exogenous protein kinase, cAMP also increases the activity of the enzyme, this effect being observed also in embryonic muscles. Lack of effect of epinephrine on Ca(2+)-ATPase in embryonic muscles is associated with non-reactivity of their adenylate cyclase to catecholamines. Ca(2+)-ATPase itself already at embryonic period is ready to react to cAMP. It is concluded that Ca(2+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum is one of the sites of action of catecholamines on calcium metabolism in muscle cell and that this action is realized via the system adenylate cyclase-cAMP-protein kinase.

Several aspects of the cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate system of rat mammary glands were investigated including effects of stage of pregnancy and lactation upon tissue cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate amounts and adenyl cyclase, cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase, and protein kinase activities. Cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate decreased at early lactation, and this decrease coincided with an increase in phosphodiesterase activity. Adenyl cyclase activity remained unchanged from late pregnancy to end of lactation. At late pregnancy, activity of protein kinase was about the same as during lactation indicating that increase in protein kinase activities in the glands precedes increases in activities of other major enzymes and the increase in ribonucleic acids in late pregnancy or early lactation. Epinephrine, prolactin, growth hormone, thyroxine, and prostaglandine caused 60, 80, 140, 200, and 270% increases in adenyl cyclase activity in vitro.

Endogenous and hormone-induced protein (polypeptide) phosphorylations were studied in isolated rat fat cells, in fat pads, and in subcellular fractions obtained from fat tissue under different physiological conditions. Insulin (25-100 muU/ml) increased the incorporation of 32P into two proteins: insulin-phosphorylated proteins (IPP 140 and IPP 50; similar to 140,000 and 50,000 daltons, respectively). Epinephrine (10(-7)-10(-6) M) increased the incorporation of 32P into another protein: epinephrine-phosphorylated protein (EPP 60-65; similar to 60,000-65,000 daltons). Endogenous IPP 140 phosphorylation in fat cells obtained from fasted and refed rats was similar to that of insulin in normal cells. Studies of insulin and epinephrine interactions showed that insulin increased IPP 140 phosphorylation even in the presence of epinephrine or lithium (25 mM times 10(-3) M). dibutyryl cyclic AMP (5 times 10(-4) M) markedly stimulated EPP 60-65 phosphorylation, but neither epinephrine (10(-7)-10(-6) M) nor dibutyryl cyclic AMP reproduced insulin's phosphorylation of APP 140. Lithium inhibited both endogenous and epinephrine-stimulate EPP 60-65 phosphorylation, but did not inhibit that induced by dibutyryl cyclic AMP. These findings suggest that insulin stimulated a specific, cyclic AMP independent protein kinase for IPP 140 phosphorylation. Cell-free extracts from insulin-treated fat tissue catalyzed the specific transfer of 32P from ATP to IPP 140 more rapidly than control extracts. No differences in the total receptor protein or total protein kinase activity using [gamma(-32P]ATP were noted between insulin-treated and control preparations. IPP 140 may be either (a) an insulin-sensitive protein kinase (phosphotransferase) or (b) a protein whose function is regulated by an insulin-sensitive protein kinase or phosphatase.

Isolated adipocytes, incubated in the presence of extracellular 32Pi to steady state 32P incorporation into cellular phosphopeptides, were exposed to hormones for 5 min. Epinephrine (10(-6) M) stimulated 32P incorporation into at least 12 major phosphopeptides, distributed in the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasma membrane. Quantitatively pre-eminent among these were peptides of molecular weight 123,000 and 69,000, each located both in the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum. The effect of epinephrine (10(-7) M) on 32P incorporation into these two peptides was augmented by theophylline (10(-3) M) in a synergistic fashion. Norepinephrine, dibutyryl N6,O2'-dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (synthetic 1 to 24 fragment), and glucagon mimicked the effect of epinephrine. Insulin modified adipocyte peptide phosphorylation in two ways. When present as the sole hormone, insulin (100 microunits/ml) consistently and selectively stimulated the 32P incorporation into a peptide of molecular weight 123,000 (endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm) without significant alteration in the 32P content of any other major peptide. A second effect of insulin was evident when epinephrine (10(-6) M) was present simultaneously. Insulin significantly inhibited the epinephrine-stimulated phosphorylation of the molecular weight 69,000 (endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm) and 26,000 (plasma membrane) peptides. Nevertheless, persistence of insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of the 123,000 peptide in the presence of epinephrine was shown by a 32P content of this peptide that was greater in the presence of both hormones than with either individually. These findings indicate that in intact adipocytes: (a) epinephrine acutely alters the phosphorylation of a large number of adipocyte peptides, partly at least, via activation of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase; (b) insulin opposes several epinephrine-stimulated phosphorylations in a manner consitent with its ability to lower epinephrine-stimulated intracellular cyclic AMP accumulation in adipocytes; and (c) insulin, in addition, exerts a unique stimulatory effect on adipocyte peptide phosphorylation that is independent of its effects on cyclic AMP metabolism and may be medicated by the generation of an as yet undefined intracellular "messenger" unique to insulin.

Protein kinase, phosphodiesterase and adenylate cyclase of plasma membrane of adipocytes and the effect of the feedback regulator (FR) on these three enzymes was measured and compared. The basal level ratio of adenylate cyclase to phosphodiesterase to protein kinase was 1:1.9:3.0. Epinephrine and/or FR alters this ratio. FR stimulated protein kinase activity up to 3 fold in the presence of a wide range of enzyme concentrations, 5-50 mug membrane protein/tube. The concentration of FR effective for stimulation of membrane protein kinase was much greater than that needed for inhibition of adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterases. The inhibition by FR on adenylate cyclase was the most potent effect among the 3 enzymes. 1 U (or 2 U/ml) of FR inhibited 50% of the adenylate cyclase activity in a defined system. The maximum effective concentration of FR for stimulation of membrane protein kinase was greater than 10 U/ml. Histone type 11A was the best substrate for protein phosphorylation so far observed. The FR stimulatory effect was observed at all substrate concentrations used ranging from 1-5 mg/ml. A NaF concentration curve shows that 15 mM NaF gave maximum phosphorylation. The stimulatory effect of FR was observed both in the presence and absence of NaF. Protein kinase of adipocyte plasma membrane was mainly cAMP-independent. The effect of FR (20 U/ml) in stimulation of protein phosphorylation was much greater than that of cAMP (1 X 10(-6) M). The cAMP and FR effects seemed to be additive. Preincubation of plasma membrane with FR in the absence of ATP resulted in no decrease but slight increase in protein kinase activity. A shift in protein kinase, phosphodiesterase and adenylate cyclase ratios by FR suggests the regulatory role of FR in cAMP metabolism in adipocytes.

Glucagon causes a rapid activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in rat liver parenchymal cells which correlates well with the accumulation of cAMP. Full activation of phosphorylase or inactivation of glycogen synthase is achieved with half-maximal or less activation of protein kinase. Epinephrine stimulates glycogen breakdown in these cells mainly by mechanisms involving alpha-adrenergic receptors and not beta-receptors. Activition of alpha-receptors results in rapid activation of phosphorylase and inactivation of glycogen synthase without accumulation of cAMP or activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Activation of beta-receptors causes a transient rise in cAMP and a short-lived activation of protein kinase with correspondingly little stimulation of glycogenolysis.

In liver cells isolated from fed female rats, glucagon (290nM) increased adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) content and decreased cyclic AMP binding 30 s after addition of hormones. Both returned to control values after 10 min. Glucagon also stimulated cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase activity at 30 s and decreased protein kinase activity assayed in the presence of 2 muM cyclic AMP at 1 min. Glucagon increased the levels of glycogen phosphorylase a, but there was no change in total glycogen phosphorylase activity. Glucagon increased glycogen phosphorylase a at concentrations considerably less than those required to affect cyclic AMP and protein kinase. The phosphodiesterase inhibitor, 1-methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine, potentiated the action of glucagon on all variables, but did not increase the maximuM activation of glycogen phosphorylase. Epinephrine (1muM) decreased cyclic AMP binding and increased glycogen phosphorylase a after a 1-min incubation with cells. Although 0.1 muM epinephrine stimulated phosphorylase a, a concentration of 10 muM was required to increase protein kinase activity. 1-Methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine (0.1 mM) potentiated the action of epinephrine on cyclic AMP and protein kinase. (-)-Propranolol (10muM) completely abolished the changes in cyclic AMP binding and protein kinase due to epinephrine (1muM) in the presence of 0.1mM 1-methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine, yet inhibited the increase in phosphorylase a by only 14 per cent. Phenylephrine (0.1muM) increased glycogen phosphorylase a, although concentrations as great as 10 muM failed to affect cyclic AMP binding or protein kinase in the absence of phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Isoproterenol (0.1muM) stimulated phosphorylase and decreased cyclic AMP binding, but only a concentration of 10muM increased protein kinase. 1-Methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine potentiated the action of isoproterenol on cyclic AMP binding and protein kinase, and propranolol reduced the augmentation of glucose release and glycogen phosphorylase activity due to isoproterenol. These data indicate that both alpha- and beta-adrenergic agents are capable of stimulating glycogenolysis and glycogen phosphorylase a in isolated rat liver cells. Low concentrations of glucagon and beta-adrenergic agonists stimulate glycogen phosphorylase without any detectable increase in cyclic AMP or protein kinase activity. The effects of alpha-adrenergic agents appear to be completely independent of changes in cyclic AMP protein kinase activity.

The effects of perfusate epinephrine, 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine, calcium, and filling pressure were investigated in the perfused working rat heart. Epinephrine produced a rapid increase in cAMP, in the protein kinase activity ratio, and in active phosphorylase. These effects preceded the increase in contractile force produced by the hormone. There was good correlation between protein kinase activation and the increase in force. Epinephrine and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine were synergistic in their stimulatory effects on cAMP, protein kinase activity, active phosphorylase, and contractile force. When an increase in the force of contraction was produced either by increasing the filling pressure of the heart or by increasing the perfusate Ca2+ concentration, there was no change in either cAMP levels or protein kinase activity. These data suggest that the effect of beta-adrenergic catecholamines on contractile force is due, at least in part, to cAMP-dependent protein kinase activation. The increase in contractile force produced either by increasing the filling pressure (Frank-Starling phenomenon) or by increasing the perfusate Ca2+ concentration is apparently not mediated by cAMP or the protein kinase.

The relationship between cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity and epinephrine-produced activation of phosphorylase and increase in contractility was investigated in the intact working rat heart. Epinephrine was administered as a bolus into the superior vena cava of open-chest preparations and the hearts were rapidly frozen. cAMP increased within 5 s and returned to control within 20-30 s. Protein kinase and phosphorylase kinase activity ratios increased transiently with the same time course as that for cAMP. The phosphorylase activity ratio and the rate of left ventricular pressure development increased maximally within 15 s and returned to control in 30-60 s. Continuous infusion of epinephrine caused a sustained elevation of the protein kinase. Free catalytic protein kinase activity increased proportionately with the dose of epinephrine. The beta-adrenergic blocking agent, practolol, had no effect on the basal levels of the five parameters studied, but did prevent the epinephrine-produced increases. The results suggest that the time course of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activation is appropriate if this enzyme is to play a role in the catecholamine-induced increase in both glycogenolysis and contractility in the in vivo heart.

Epinephrine rapidly activates phosphorylase in hepatocytes, mainly by a mechanism(s) involving alpha-adrenergic and not beta-adrenergic receptors. The alpha-adrenergic mechanism does not involve accumulation of cAMP or activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. It is impaired when hepatocytes are depleted of calcium by EGTA treatment and is rapidly restored by readdition of calcium. Basal phosphorylase is also lowered by calcium deficiency and rapidly increased by calcium but not other divalent cations. The divalent cation ioniphore A23187 increases phosphorylase a levels in hepatocytes in a calcium-dependent manner. Calcium deficiency does not modify the effects of glucagon, cAMP, or beta-adrenergic activation on phosphorylase. Activation of alpha-adrenergic receptors rapidly increases 45Ca fluxes in hepatocytes. Glucagon produces similar effects, but supraphysiological concentrations are required. The hypothesis is advanced that alpha-adrenergic activation of phosphorylase involves alterations in cell calcium such that there is an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration leading to increased phosphorylase kinase activity. Epinephrine induces greater cAMP accumulation in calcium-depleted cells than in normal cells. The effect is mediated by alpha-adrenergic and not beta-adrenergic receptors. Calcium deficiency also cuases cAMP accumulation in hepatocytes incubated with phenylephrine but does not modify the responses of the cells to isoproterenol, glucagon, or cAMP. Low concentrations of calcium rapidly reverse alpha-adrenergic receptor-mediated cAMP accumulation in calcium-depleted cells. The hypothesis is advanced that calcium normally exerts an inhibitory effect on a linkage between alpha-adrenergic receptors and adenylate cyclase in hepatocytes.
