The hematoxylin-stainable protein (HSP) in keratohyalin granules of the newborn rat epidermis was found to have the same amino acid composition and the same inhibitory and immunological properties as cystatin alpha. However, only its pI value (4.7) differed from that of cystatin alpha (5.3). Alkaline phosphatase treatment of HSP changed its pI value from 4.7 to 5.3. This pI change was inhibited by EDTA, an inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase. Furthermore, 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP was incorporated into recombinant cystatin alpha by a protein kinase C (PKC) preparation in the presence of phosphatidyl serine and Ca2+ ions as co-factors. The incorporation increased dose-dependently with the added cystatin alpha and was inhibited significantly by H-7, a specific inhibitor of PKC. SDS-PAGE autoradiography of the 32P-labeled proteins showed that 32P was incorporated into the cystatin alpha. This incorporation was not observed by the action of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Therefore, it is highly possible that the HSP is a phosphorylated cystatin alpha and that the phosphorylation is catalyzed specifically by PKC.

We have shown previously that cytoplasmic extracts from actively dividing lymphoid cells are capable of inducing DNA synthesis in isolated nuclei. One of the factors involved in this activity, ADR, appears to be a greater than 90 kDa heat-labile protease. Cytoplasmic extracts prepared from nonproliferating lymphocytes express little to no ADR activity. However, ADR activity can be generated in these extracts by brief exposure to a membrane-enriched fraction of spontaneously proliferating, leukemic human T lymphoblastoid (MOLT-4) cells. This suggests that ADR activity is present in the resting cytoplasm in an inactive or precursor form. This in vitro generation of ADR activity can be inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by the isoquinolinesulfonamide derivative, H-7 (1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride), an inhibitor of both cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinases and protein kinase C (PKC). However, more specific inhibitors of cAMP-dependent protein kinases, including N-[( 2-methylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide dihydrochloride (H8) and N-(2-gua-nidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (HA-1004), had little to no effect on the in vitro generation of ADR activity. Furthermore, membranes from MOLT-4 cells depleted of PKC by long-term exposure (24 h) to phorbol esters and calcium ionophores were unable to induce ADR activity in resting peripheral blood lymphocytes extracts. The results of these studies suggest 1) ADR activity is present in resting cell cytoplasm in an inactive or precursor form; and 2) ADR activity can be induced in this resting cytoplasm through a mechanism involving a membrane-associated protein kinase, possibly PKC. The ability of alkaline phosphatase to deplete the activity of preformed ADR suggests the possibility that ADR itself is phosphoprotein.

The effects of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) phosphorylation on the degradation of the microtubule-associated protein tau by calpain were studied. Purified bovine brain tau that had been phosphorylated by cAMP-PK had a slower migration pattern on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and a more acidic, less heterogeneous pattern on two-dimensional, nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis (NEPHGE) gels compared with untreated tau. Phosphorylation of tau by cAMP-PK significantly inhibited its proteolysis by calpain compared with untreated tau. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration that phosphorylation of tau by a specific kinase results in increased resistance to hydrolysis by calpain. Tau dephosphorylated by alkaline phosphatase migrated more rapidly on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and also showed an altered two-dimensional NEPHGE pattern. Dephosphorylation of tau had no effect on its susceptibility to calpain proteolysis, indicating that regulation of the susceptibility to calpain hydrolysis is due to the phosphorylation of a specific site(s). These results suggest a role for phosphorylation in regulating the degradation of tau. Abnormal phosphorylation could result in a protease-resistant tau population which may contribute to the formation of paired helical filaments in Alzheimer's disease.

p19 is a highly conserved 19-kDa cytosolic protein that undergoes phosphorylation in mammalian cells upon activation of several distinct signal transduction pathways. Its expression is widespread but developmentally regulated. To determine the in vivo phosphorylation site(s) of p19, the protein was purified from bovine brain and resolved into the unphosphorylated form (p19) and a mixture of the two predominant phospho-forms (pp19). Proteolytic fragments of p19 and pp19 were examined by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). We detected ion masses corresponding to fragments spanning the entire amino acid sequence as deduced from the cDNA except for those predicted to contain an unmodified amino terminus. Instead, the digests revealed ions corresponding to peptides lacking the initiator methionine and containing an N-acetylated alanine at the amino terminus. The analysis of pp19, but not that of p19, revealed two sets of ions representing peptides whose m/z values differed by 80 atomic mass units, the incremental mass of a phosphate residue. These putative phosphate-bearing peptides were sensitive to alkaline phosphatase treatment. Using combined trypsin and V8 protease digestions, the phosphorylation sites were mapped to Ser-25 and Ser-38, in the peptides Leu-Ile-Leu-Ser*-Pro-Arg and Phe-Pro-Leu-Ser*-Pro-Pro-Lys, respectively. Interestingly, both phosphoserines are in a very similar sequence context, suggesting that a single proline-directed serine protein kinase, possibly p34cdc2, is responsible for phosphorylation of both sites in vivo.

The yeast VPS15 gene encodes a novel protein kinase homolog that is required for the sorting of soluble hydrolases to the yeast vacuole. In this study, we extend our previous mutational analysis of the VPS15 gene and show that alterations of specific Gps15p residues, that are highly conserved among all protein kinase molecules, result in the biological inactivation of Vps15p. Furthermore, we demonstrate here that short C-terminal deletions of Vps15p result in a temperature-conditional defect in vacuolar protein sorting. Immediately following the temperature shift, soluble vacuolar hydrolases, such as carboxypeptidase Y and proteinase A, accumulate as Golgi-modified precursors within a saturable intracellular compartment distinct from the vacuole. This vacuolar protein sorting block is efficiently reversed when mutant cells are shifted back to the permissive temperature; the accumulated precursors are rapidly processed to their mature forms indicating that they have been delivered to the vacuole. This rapid and efficient reversal suggests that the accumulated vacuolar protein precursors were present within a normal transport intermediate in the vacuolar protein sorting pathway. In addition, this protein delivery block shows specificity for soluble vacuolar enzymes as the membrane protein, alkaline phosphatase, is efficiently delivered to the vacuole at the non-permissive temperature. Interestingly, the C-terminal Vps15p truncations are not phosphorylated in vivo suggesting that the phosphorylation of Vps15p may be critical for its biological activity at elevated temperatures. The rapid onset and high degree of specificity of the vacuolar protein delivery block in these mutants suggests that the primary role of Vps15p is to regulate the sorting of soluble hydrolases to the yeast vacuolar compartment.

The insulin resistance seen in diabetes mellitus has been attributed partly to impaired autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor. It has been suggested that the phosphorylation of serine and/or threonine residues of the insulin receptor may reduce tyrosine autophosphorylation in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ-D rats). To elucidate the mechanisms of decreased autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor in diabetic rats, we have investigated the effect of dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor by alkaline phosphatase on the insulin- and protein kinase-stimulating incorporation of 32P into the receptor of the liver from STZ-D rats. Both basal and insulin-stimulated autophosphorylations of the insulin receptor from STZ-D rats were significantly impaired to those from normal rats. Dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor by alkaline phosphatase resulted in an increase in insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor from STZ-D rats (43 +/- 13% to 66 +/- 14%, P less than 0.05), but not from normal rats (100% to 109 +/- 12%, NS). Although maximal autophosphorylation of the dephosphorylated insulin receptor was still lower in STZ-D rats than in normal rats, the increase in insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor from STZ-D rats by dephosphorylation was higher than that from normal (159.2 +/- 27.2% vs 108.0 +/- 12.4%, p less than 0.01), supporting the idea that the residues of the insulin receptor of STZ-D rats was highly phosphorylated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

p34cdc2 protein kinase is a universal regulator of M-phase in eukaryotic cell cycle. To investigate the regulation of meiotic and mitotic cell cycle in mammals, we examined the changes in phosphorylation states of p34cdc2 and its histone H1 kinase activity in mouse oocytes and embryos. We showed that p34cdc2 has three different migrating bands (referred to as upper, middle and lower bands) on SDS-PAGE followed by immunoblotting with anti-PSTAIR antibody, and that the upper and middle bands are phosphorylated forms since these two bands shifted to the lower one by alkaline phosphatase treatment. In meiotic cell cycle, only germinal vesicle (GV) stage oocytes had the three forms. The phosphorylated forms decreased gradually in oocytes up to 2 h after isolation from follicles, and thereafter the phosphorylation states did not change significantly until metaphase II. However, the histone H1 kinase activity oscillated, being activated at the first and second metaphase in meiosis and inactivated at the time of the first polar body extrusion. These results suggest that changes in phosphorylation states of p34cdc2 triggered its activation at the first metaphase, but not inactivation and reactivation at the first and second metaphase, respectively. In mitotic cell cycle, phosphorylated forms appeared at 4 h after insemination, increased greatly just before metaphase, and were dephosphorylated in metaphase. Histone H1 kinase activity was high only at metaphase. This kinase activation is probably triggered by dephosphorylation of p34cdc2.

We applied Southwestern and Western blotting and gel retardation techniques to investigate the changes that occur in the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-responsive element (CRE) binding (CREB) proteins in rapidly growing, chemically induced 5123tc and 5123D Morris hepatomas. Using the CRE sequences from the c-fos, E2A, and somatostatin gene promoters, we identified in the nuclear proteins from normal unstimulated or proliferating rat liver cells six different protein factors of Mr 34,000, 36,000, 40,000, 47,000, 56,000, and 72,000 capable of binding to the element. The Mr 47,000 protein had the highest specificity for the core CRE, suggesting its importance in cAMP-mediated gene expression. We could not find the Mr 47,000 CREB protein in the 5123tc and 5123D hepatomas. Our efforts to detect this protein in the tumors by (a) using the CRE sequence from different gene promoters, (b) altering the protocol for extracting nuclear proteins, or (c) attempting to restore its DNA-binding property by phosphorylation [with endogenous protein kinase(s), a catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and protein kinase C/dephosphorylation (with alkaline phosphatase)] were unsuccessful. The loss of tje Mr 47,000 CREB protein from solid tumors of the Morris hepatoma is likely to be related to the neoplastic properties of the tumor cell rather than to cell growth because the level of this protein remained unchanged during a 6-day period of liver regeneration. The nuclear extract from the Morris hepatoma that did not have the Mr 47,000 CRE-binding factor contained proteins immunologically related to the CREB, c-Jun, and c-Fos proteins. We conclude that the Mr 47,000 factor represents a distinct member of the CRE-binding protein family and that its absence from the hepatomas may lead to aberrant expression of cAMP-inducible genes.

The alpha-chain of human fibrinogen was found to be phosphorylated in EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood when trace amounts of (gamma-32P)ATP and 7.5 mM Mg2+ ions were added. Fibrinogen was not phosphorylated if only the ATP was added. The thrombin-induced gelation of fibrinogen phosphorylated by protein kinase A, casein kinase I or II was studied spectrophotomerically. It was found that phosphorylation by protein kinase A caused the formation of thinner fibrin fibres, whereas phosphorylation by casein kinase II resulted in fibres slightly thicker than those of the control fibrinogen (equivalent to a 20% increase in the control fibrinogen concentration). Phosphorylation with casein kinase I did not significantly affect the fibrin fibre thickness. Dephosphorylation by alkaline phosphatase removed 50% of the 32P-labelled phosphate from protein kinase A-phosphorylated fibrinogen and over 90% from the casein kinase I or II-phosphorylated fibrinogens. This dephosphorylation resulted in a general increase in fibre thickness in the gelation assay in all samples, although the fibres of the phosphorylated fibrinogens remained substantially thinner than the dephosphorylated control fibrinogen. Plasmin digestion of the phosphorylated fibrinogens showed that they were more resistant to cleavage, being cleaved at only 30% to 70% of the rate of control fibrinogen and that this resistance was unaltered by dephosphorylation, in contrast to the thrombin gelation experiments.

Studies with subconfluent day 2 cultures of rat myoblasts revealed that a cell surface 112 kDa protein could be phosphorylated by extracellular ATP. Analysis of the phosphorylated 112 kDa protein suggested the involvement of a serine protein kinase. The following evidence indicated the cell surface location of this protein kinase: (i) extracellular ATP was unable to penetrate the cell membrane under our experimental conditions; (ii) the phosphorylated protein profile of intact cells differed significantly from that of broken cells; (iii) the phosphorylation of the 112 kDa protein could be abolished by pretreatment of cells with very low concentrations of trypsin; (iv) the phosphorylated 112 kDa protein could be dephosphorylated by exogenously added alkaline phosphatase; (v) the phosphorylation of the 112 kDa protein was inhibited by exogenously added proteins; and (vi) exogenously added proteins could be phosphorylated by intact cells under similar experimental conditions. The phosphorylated 112 kDa protein was detected only when the reaction was carried out in the presence of Ca2+, Mg2+, and F- ions. Kinetic analysis that revealed that the Km value of the ecto-protein kinase for ATP was 0.04 microM, and the Vmax. value for phosphorylation of the 112 kDa protein was 1.67 x 10(-4) pmol/min per 10(5) cells. Data presented in the accompanying paper [Chen & Lo (1991) Biochem. J. 279, 475-482] show that there was a constant and adequate supply of ATP on the cell surface of rat myoblasts for efficient functioning of this protein kinase, and that mutants defective in either the ecto-protein kinase or the 112 kDa protein were also impaired in myogenic differentiation. This and other biochemical studies suggest that the ecto-protein kinase and the 112 kDa protein might play important roles in myogenic differentiation.
