A nuclear protein kinase that shows a high degree of substrate specificity for the phosphorylation of the acidic proteins casein, phosvitin and non-histone chromatin proteins, rather than the basic proteins histones and protamine, was partially purified from lactatingrat mammary gland. The enzyme is associated with the acidic protein fraction of chromatin. Nuclear kinase requires Co(2+) for activity, and other bivalent cations such as Mg(2+) and Mn(2+) can substitute partially for Co(2+). The kinase is further activates (2-3-fold) by various salts, their concentration for maximum stimulation being: NaCl, 150mm; KCl, 200mm; sodium acetate, 300mm. The sedimentation coefficient of the nuclear kinase is 8.9S and its mol.wt. is approx. 300000 by gel-exclusion chromatography. The enzyme is not activated by cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP and is inhibited neither by the regulatory subunit of mammary cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase nor by the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor from ox heart. Analysis of (32)P-labelled protein products reveals that the kinase transfers the terminal phosphate of ATP to serine and threonine residues of proteins. The enzyme, however, has specificity for the phosphorylation of threonine in casein and serine in phosvitin. Molecular size and enzymic characteristics of the nuclear protein kinase are clearly different from those of the cytosol enzyme previously characterized.

Autoactivation of phosphorylase kinase in the presence of substrates has been studied to determine the cause of the hysteresis, or lag, in the phosphorylase kinase reaction. Peptide analogs corresponding to the convertible serine region of phosphorylase have been used as low molecular weight alternative substrates. Autophosphorylation of the kinase molecule was measured under conditions that favored autoactivation. Phosphorylase b and a tetradecapeptide, which was found to be a good model of phosphorylase, stimulated autoactivation by 86- and 37-fold, respectively. The tetradecapeptide also stimulated autophosphorylation of subunits A and B of the kinase molecule. This increased autophosphorylation coincided with an increased ability to convert phosphorylase. This finding supports the hypothesis that autophosphorylation is responsible for the lag in the phosphorylase kinase reaction. No evidence was obtained to suggest that the lag could be due to dissociation of the kinase. The stoichiometry of phosphate incorporation into phosphorylase kinase subunits by autophosphorylation was much greater than that reported to occur by protein kinase phosphorylation. Multiple phosphorylation sites in subunit A accounted for most of the phosphate incorporation during autophosphorylation. Saturating levels of hexa- and octapeptide analogs also caused stimulation of autophosphorylation. Possible mechanisms and experimental implications of substrate-stimulated autophosphorylation are discussed. Consideration also is given to the possible role of effectors in autophosphorylation in vivo.

At least two protein kinase activities are bound to the rat liver mitochondrial membranes. Both activities are found to phosphorylate, besides endogenous proteins tightly bound to the membrane structures, also exogenous phosphoproteins such as casein and phosvitin. However one is able to phosphorylate both casein-bound serine and threonine residues, while the other is phosphorylating almost only serine residues.

The protein substrate specificity of the catalytic subunit of rabbit skeletal muscle cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37; ATP:protein phosphotransferase) has been studied using genetic variants of beta casein. It was found that beta casein-B was phosphorylated at a much greater rate than beta caseins A1, A2, A3, or C. The enhanced phosphorylation of beta casein-B, as compared with the most common variant A2, was attributed to an arginine substitution for a serine at position 122, which caused a nearby residue, serine 124, to become a phosphorylation site for the protein kinase. These results further support the concept that the local primary structure is important in specificity and that arginine may be a specific determinant common to all the local phosphorylation site sequences recognized by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Phosphorylase kinase was activated 5--10-fold in vivo by an intravenous injection of adrenalin. Sodium fluoride an inhibitor of phosphorylase kinase phosphatase, was required to prevent the reversal of this process; the activated and non-activated forms of the enzyme were indistinguishable by dodecylsulphate gel electrophoresis. This suggested that the activation had resulted from a phosphorylation of the enzyme, and that it was not a consequence of the well known activation by proteolytic cleavage that can be demonstrated in vitro. Phosphorylase kinase activated in vivo was purified and digested with trypsin, and the two tryptic peptides which contain the serine residues which are phosphorylated in vitro by the action of cyclic-AMP (adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate) dependent protein kinase, were isolated. It was found that the same nine-amino-acid segment of the beta chain and the same seven-amino-acid segment of the alpha chain had become phosphorylated in vivo in response to adrenalin, as were phosphorylated in vitro. The degree of phosphorylation of each of the two sites was at least 50%. The data provide direct proof that the activation of phosphorylase kinase which occurs in vivo in response to adrenalin results from a phosphorylation of the enzyme. They also indicate that the novel form of regulation associated with the phosphorylation of the alpha subunit, the stimulation of protein dephosphorylation by "second site phosphorylation", can now be regarded as a new form of enzyme control mechanism which operates in vivo. The regulation of phosphorylase kinase activity was studied in the protein - glycogen complex from skeletal muscle. The enzyme could be rapidly converted to a phosphorylated form in a cyclic-AMP-stimulated reaction upon addition of magnesium ions and ATP, but the conversion of phosphorylase b to phosphorylase a in the complex still showed an absolute requirement for calcium ions. The implications of these findings and major problems in the hormonal control of skeletal muscle glycogenolysis which are not yet resolved, are discussed.

We have used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique to clone kinase-related sequences from avian blastula, neural crest and neural tube mRNA. Twenty-three distinct protein kinase (PK) sequences were amplified, of which eight are identical to previously described PK genes. The cloned molecules fall into three classes: growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), cytosolic tyrosine kinases and serine/threonine kinases. Among the cloned RTKs were the insulin-like growth factor type I receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha, the CEK1 fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor as well as the avian homolog of a recently cloned PCR fragment related to the eph/elk/eck family, tyro-5. Furthermore, we cloned a novel FGF receptor-like molecule as well as two novel putative RTKs related to the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor. The pattern of expression of the PCR clones was examined by Northern blot analysis of adult tissues: each molecule recognized one or more transcripts of various sizes, suggesting that PK genes may play regulatory roles both in early development and in adult regulation of tissue function. Together with recent studies, this survey confirms the hypothesis that PKs may play important roles in early vertebrate development.

Two protein kinases active on casein and phosvitin were partially purified from the soluble fraction of ejaculated bovine spermatozoa. They were operationally termed casein kinase A and B based on the order of their elution from a phosphocellulose column. CK-A showed an approximate molecular mass of 38 kDa, and it phosphorylated serine residues of casein and phosvitin utilizing ATP as a phosphate donor (Km 19 microM). Enzyme activity was maximal in the presence of 10 mM MgCl2, whereas it decreased in the presence of spermine, polylysine, quercetin, and NaCl (20-250 mM). CK-B seemed to have a monomeric structure of about 41 kDa; it underwent autophosphorylation and cross-reacted with polyclonal antibodies raised against recombinant alpha, but not beta, subunit of human type 2 casein kinase. It phosphorylated both serine and threonine residues of casein and phosvitin, utilizing ATP (Km 12 microM) but not GTP as a phosphate donor. Threonine was more affected in the phosphorylated phosvitin than in the partially dephosphorylated substrate. CK-B was active toward the synthetic peptide Ser-(Glu)5 and calmodulin (in the latter case, in the presence of polylysine), and it was activated by spermine, polylysine, MgCl2 (30 mM), and NaCl (20-400 mM). The activity of the enzymes was not affected by cAMP, or the heat-stable inhibitor of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, or calcium.

The bacteriophage T7 0.7 gene encodes a protein which supports viral reproduction under specific suboptimal growth conditions. The 0.7 protein (gp0.7) shuts off host RNA polymerase-catalyzed transcription and also expresses a serine/threonine-specific, cAMP-independent protein kinase (PK) activity. To determine the role of the gp0.7 PK in viral reproduction, the 0.7 gene of the T7(JS78) mutant phage--whose gp0.7 expresses only the PK activity--was cloned in the plasmid expression vector pET-11a. Cells containing the recombinant plasmid were viable, and upon IPTG induction produced a 30-kDa polypeptide, similar in size to the gp0.7-related polypeptide seen in T7(JS78)-infected cells. Extracts of cells containing this polypeptide can phosphorylate the exogenous substrate lysozyme. Expression of plasmid-encoded gp0.7(JS78) in vivo results in phosphorylation of the same proteins which are phosphorylated in T7(JS78)-infected cells; moreover, the plasmid-encoded gp0.7(JS78) is itself phosphorylated. The JS78 mutation changes Gln243 in gp0.7 to an amber codon, which explains the production of the truncated, 30-kDa gp0.7-related polypeptide, and implicates the 11-kDa C-terminal domain in host transcription shut-off. The T7(A23) 0.7 point mutant fails to express PK activity in infected cells. However, the truncated T7(A23)-related polypeptide, expressed from a plasmid, exhibits PK activity in vivo and in vitro, but with an altered specificity. Thus, the A23 mutation, which changes Asp100 to Asn, may identify a substrate recognition determinant.

Inhibitory effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on T lymphocyte function have been linked to perturbation of signaling through the T cell antigen receptor-CD3 complex. Comparative biochemical analyses of signaling responses were performed in T cells that were either uninfected or chronically infected with the HIV-1/IIIB strain. Stimulation with antibodies to CD3 triggered both Ca2+ accumulation and phosphoinositide hydrolysis responses that were equivalent in uninfected and infected cells. Treatment with anti-CD3 or with phorbol diester also stimulated serine phosphorylation of CD4 molecules in uninfected T cells. However, phosphorylation of CD4 was not observed after anti-CD3 treatment in HIV-infected T cells despite normal phosphorylation responses to phorbol diester. Identical results were obtained using a T cell line that was infected with an env (gp160/120-) HIV-1 defective variant. These studies indicate that infection with HIV-1 inhibits the activation of protein kinase associated with the T cell receptor-CD3 complex by a mechanism which is independent of viral env protein components.

TSH regulation of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptor kinases has been studied in FRTL5 cultured thyroid cells. Preincubation of intact cells with TSH increased by 2-fold insulin and IGF-I receptor autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of the p175 endogenous substrate for the receptors. Enhanced phosphorylations reached a maximum within 30 min, were maintained for 30 min more, and vanished after 120 min of TSH incubation. TSH dose-responses exhibited half-maximal and maximal effects at 1 and 10 pM, respectively. In vitro, insulin as well as IGF-I receptors purified from cells treated with 10 pM TSH also exhibited 2-fold enhanced receptor autophosphorylation and kinase activity toward the exogenous substrate poly(Glu,Tyr) (4:1). At variance with TSH, cell incubation with either 8-bromo-cAMP or the protein kinase-C activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate inhibited insulin and IGF-I receptor kinases. In intact cells, TSH stimulation of insulin and IGF-I receptor kinases was accompanied by enhanced turnover of phosphate on autophosphorylated receptors, increased receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, and decreased receptor serine/threonine phosphorylation in response to insulin. Incubation of in vivo labeled insulin and IGF-I receptors with extracts from TSH-treated cells also decreased receptor phosphoserine and phosphothreonine content. Furthermore, preincubation of insulin and IGF-I receptors with extracts from TSH-treated cells enhanced in vitro autophosphorylation. The latter effect was inhibited by the serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitors fluoride and okadaic acid, but not by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor vanadate. The data suggest that in FRTL5 cells, TSH induces the activity of a Ser/Thr protein phosphatase, which dephosphorylates insulin and IGF-I receptors and enhances their endogenous kinases.
