The effects of protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation on glucose transport activity reconstituted from adipocyte membrane fractions and its relationship to the phosphorylation state of the adipose/muscle-type glucose transporter (GLUT4) were studied. In vitro phosphorylation of membranes in the presence of ATP and protein kinase A produced a stimulation of the reconstituted glucose transport activity in plasma membranes and low-density microsomes (51% and 65% stimulation respectively), provided that the cells had been treated with insulin prior to isolation of the membranes. Conversely, treatment of membrane fractions with alkaline phosphatase produced an inhibition of reconstituted transport activity. However, in vitro phosphorylation catalysed by protein kinase C failed to alter reconstituted glucose transport activity in membrane fractions from both basal and insulin-treated cells. In experiments run under identical conditions, the phosphorylation state of GLUT4 was investigated by immunoprecipitation of glucose transporters from membrane fractions incubated with [32P]ATP and protein kinases A and C. Protein kinase C stimulated a marked phosphate incorporation into GLUT4 in both plasma membranes and low-density microsomes. Protein kinase A, in contrast to its effect on reconstituted glucose transport activity, produced a much smaller phosphorylation of the GLUT4 in plasma membranes than in low-density microsomes. The present data suggest that glucose transport activity can be modified by protein phosphorylation via an insulin-dependent mechanism. However, the phosphorylation of the GLUT4 itself was not correlated with changes in its reconstituted transport activity.

6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase (PFK-2) was analyzed in four organs of the anoxia-tolerant marine gastropod mollusk Busycon canaliculatum. Whelk PFK-2 resembled the nonhepatic enzyme from mammals with highest activity occurring in gill (22 pmol.min-1.g-1). Hepatopancreas PFK-2 was purified over 8,000-fold to a final specific activity of 11 mU/mg protein (at 20 degrees C) and gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was a dimer with a native molecular mass of 142 kDa and a subunit molecular mass of 67 kDa. The purified enzyme showed negligible fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase-2) activity, although the activity ratio of PFK-2 to FBPase-2 was 0.625 in crude extracts. In response to environmental anoxia, the activity of PFK-2 dropped in all organs to 34-56% of the corresponding aerobic value (half-time was 2 h in gill), and the Michaelis constant for fructose 6-phosphate increased by 50% (to 92 microM in gill). These changes paralleled decreases in organ fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration and pyruvate kinase activity and contribute to the overall glycolytic rate depression induced by anoxia in this facultative anaerobe. In vitro treatment of the anoxic form of hepatopancreas PFK-2 with alkaline phosphatase increased enzyme activity, suggesting that the aerobic and anoxic enzyme forms are interconverted by reversible protein phosphorylation. However, the protein kinase involved in this process is not yet known; incubation of aerobic PFK-2 with Mg-ATP plus adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase C did not alter enzyme activity.

In preparations of synaptic terminals (synaptosomes) isolated from rat brain, the activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), a phospholipid hydrolase that serves a central function in signal transduction, was inhibited in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner by incubation with 60 mM K+ or with the Ca(2+)-selective ionophore ionomycin. Reversal by alkaline phosphatase treatment suggested that this inhibitory effect resulted from phosphorylation of a synaptosomal protein substrate. When lysed synaptosomes were incubated with Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM), purified Ca2+/CAM-dependent protein kinase II (Ca2+/CaM-dependent PK II) and ATP, PLA2 activity in lysates was nearly abolished within 10 min. This effect was accompanied by a marked decrease in the Vmax of the enzyme and little or no change in the Km. Furthermore, Ca2+/CaM with ATP but without exogenous Ca2+/CaM-dependent PK II partially inhibited PLA2 activity, and this effect was prevented by treating the lysates with a selective peptide inhibitor of Ca2+/CaM-dependent PK II. In contrast, incubation of intact synaptosomes with 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or of lysed synaptosomes with purified protein kinase C had little or no effect on PLA2 activity. The results strongly suggest that the Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of PLA2 activity observed in intact nerve endings was produced by activation of the multifunctional Ca2+/CaM-dependent PK II. A membrane-permeable adenylyl cyclase activator, forskolin, enhanced PLA2 activity in intact synaptosomes, and cAMP-dependent protein kinase potentiated PLA2 activity in lysed synaptosomes. Furthermore, another broad-spectrum protein kinase present in synaptic terminals, casein kinase II, also potentiated PLA2 activity in lysed synaptosomes. The effects of both protein kinases were associated with a decrease in Km and no change in Vmax. The results suggest that PLA2 activity in synaptic terminals is subject to bidirectional control by distinct signal transduction pathways. Moreover, mutually antagonistic effects of the Ca2+/CaM-dependent PK II and PLA2 pathways provide a possible molecular mechanism for bidirectional modulation of neurotransmitter release.

The insulin-like growth factor-binding protein IGF-BP1 is a major secretory protein of human endometrial stromal cells decidualized in culture. Anion exchange chromatography and nondenaturing gel electrophoresis showed IGF-BP1 to exist in five electrophoretically and chromatographically distinct isoforms. IGF-BP1 variants migrated as a quintet on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels and as a single band (28 kDa) on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Alkaline phosphatase treatment reduced the IGF-BP1 variants to a single band. Cells incubated with [32P]orthophosphate for 12 h secreted four 32P-labeled IGF-BP1 phosphovariants, and their migration coincided with those bands that were eliminated by alkaline phosphatase treatment. In cells treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate and relaxin, the concentration of phosphorylated IGF-BP1 was increased dramatically as compared with controls. All the phosphovariants were confirmed to be IGF-BP1 by their ability to be supershifted on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels after binding a monoclonal antibody to IGF-BP1. Thin layer electrophoresis of IGF-BP1 acid hydrolysates showed IGF-BP1 to be phosphorylated exclusively on serine. Non-phosphorylated IGF-BP1 was phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and casein kinase II in vitro. This suggests that IGF-BP1 may be a substrate of multiple protein kinases in vivo.

The present study characterizes the inhibitory effects of nodularin, a recently isolated hepatotoxic compound from the cyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena, on type 1 (PP1), type 2A, (PP2A), type 2B (PP2B), and type 2C (PP2C) protein phosphatases. Both PP2A and PP1 were potently inhibited (IC50 = 0.026 and 1.8 nM, respectively) by nodularin, whereas PP2B was inhibited to a lesser extent (IC50 = 8.7 microM). Nodularin had no apparent effect on PP2C, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, protein kinase A, phosphorylase kinase, or protein kinase C. In a whole-cell extract of T51B liver cells, nodularin inhibited PP1 and PP2A activity with a potency similar to that seen with their purified catalytic subunits. Thus, due to the high specificity of nodularin for PP2A and PP1, this hepatotoxin may prove to be useful as a probe for distinguishing the activity of these protein phosphatases in cell extracts.

We have previously shown that activity of a Cl- channel is required for acidification of clathrin-coated vesicles by the coated vesicle (H+)-ATPase (Arai, H., Pink, S. and Forgac, M. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 3075-3082). We demonstrate that activity of the coated vesicle Cl- channel is modulated by phosphorylation. Cl- conductance was measured in a reconstituted preparation of coated vesicle membrane proteins using the Cl(-)-sensitive fluorescence probe, 6-methoxy-N-(3-sulfopropyl)quinolinium. Treatment of coated vesicle membranes with alkaline phosphatase resulted in a 25 +/- 5% decrease in Cl- channel activity. A parallel decrease in ATP-dependent acidification of coated vesicles was also observed. The decrease in Cl- conductance and ATP-dependent acidification was reversed by treatment with protein kinase A and MgATP; the alkaline phosphatase inhibitor, sodium orthovanadate, blocked the inhibition of acidification. These results indicate that Cl- conductance in coated vesicles is modulated by a protein kinase A-dependent phosphorylation and that this modulation in turn affects ATP-dependent acidification.

Treatment of bovine chromaffin cells with insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) caused the activation of a protein kinase that phosphorylates microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP-2) in vitro. Activation of MAP-2 kinase by IGF-I varied with the time of treatment (maximal at 10-15 min) and the concentration of IGF-I (maximal at 10 nM). The IGF-I-activated MAP-2 kinase was localized to the soluble fraction of chromaffin cell extracts and required Mg2+ for activity. The IGF-I-activated kinase also phosphorylated myelin basic protein, but had little or no activity toward histones or ribosomal S6 protein. To examine the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the activation of the MAP-2 kinase, we isolated phosphotyrosine (PTyr)-containing proteins from chromaffin cells by immunoaffinity adsorption on anti-PTyr-Sepharose beads. Anti-PTyr-Sepharose eluates from IGF-I-treated cells showed increased MAP-2 kinase activity; thus, the MAP-2 kinase (or a closely associated protein) appears to be a PTyr-containing protein. Treatment of anti-PTyr-Sepharose eluates or crude chromaffin cell extracts with alkaline phosphatase significantly decreased kinase activity toward myelin basic protein, indicating that phosphorylation of the IGF-I-activated kinase is required for its activity.

The activity of EF-2 was distinctly decreased after phosphorylation catalysed by a partly purified calmodulin and Ca2+ dependent protein kinase III. At the same time 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP was incorporated into EF-2 molecule. After dephosphorylation of EF-2 catalysed by alkaline phosphatase the activity of this factor was increased. This suggests that the phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of EF-2 is the regulatory process in the elongation step of the translation. Preliminary purification of the kinase III from rat liver resulted in 8-fold purified enzyme with a recovery of 60%.

A variety of signal transduction pathways contribute to the regulation of transcription in mammalian cells. Several of these pathways ultimately rely upon the interaction of transcription factors with genetic sequences termed response elements in the promoter regions of some genes. The biochemical mechanisms that control the levels and state of activation of transcription factors are poorly understood. However, specific phosphorylation events mediated by protein kinase C, growth factor receptor-linked tyrosine kinases, and protein kinase A clearly participate in the regulation of these signal transduction pathways. To understand the relationship between activation and/or inhibition of these pathways and regulation of gene expression controlled by specific response elements, cell lines were prepared containing the TPA response element (TRE), serum response element (SRE), or cyclic AMP response element (CRE) fused to a gene encoding a secretable form of alkaline phosphatase (SEAP). These TRE-SEAP, SRE-SEAP, and CRE-SEAP cells exhibit dramatic increases in alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity following exposure to TPA, PDGF, or forskolin. Down regulation of protein kinase C or inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity blocked the stimulation of AP activity caused by TPA or PDGF. These cell lines can be used to characterize existing inhibitors, and to identify new agents that affect specific signal transduction pathways in mammalian cells.

A combination of planar bilayer and patch-clamp techniques was used to determine whether apical membrane Cl- channels of shark (Squalus acanthias) rectal gland (SRG) were regulated by a phosphorylating and dephosphorylating cycle. In channel reconstitution studies, apical membrane vesicles of SRG were purified, incubated in ATP-Mg2+ and the presence or absence (control) of catalytic subunit of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) and incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. In the presence of cAMP-PK, two distinct Cl- channels were found when imposing either 450/50 or 300/50 mM KCl (cis/trans) gradients. The most frequently observed channels (G beta 1) were open greater than 80% at all potentials between -60 and +20 mV (trans ground) and were inactivated by alkaline phosphatase added to the cis chamber. The single-channel conductance of G beta 1 was 42 pS between -60 and +20 mV with a 300/50 mM KCl gradient. The second channel (G beta 2) was always observed in pairs of 62-pS subchannels and was not affected by alkaline phosphatase, but the open probability increased with depolarizing potentials. G beta 2 was observed once, but G beta 1 was never observed in the absence of cAMP-PK. In parallel patch-clamp studies of the apical membrane of cultured SRG, a 50-pS channel similar to G beta 1 was noted after incubating cells with either forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, or okadaic acid, an inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. It is concluded that G beta 1 of SRG can be studied in both patch-clamp and bilayer preparations and that G beta 1 is regulated by reversible phosphorylation by cAMP-PK and dephosphorylation by a protein phosphatase.
