Phosphorylase kinase was purified (110-fold) from bovine stomach smooth muscle by a procedure involving DEAE-cellulose chromatography, ammonium sulfate fractionation and glycerol density ultracentrifugation. On sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) the final enzyme preparation shows a single protein band of 43 kDa. The purified protein exhibits a close similarity with bovine aortic actin, as revealed by amino acid analysis and sequencing of a tryptic decapeptide fragment, although it differs widely from actin in several respects. In our effort to separate phosphorylase kinase activity from the 43 kDa protein we used a variety of chromatographic procedures, but in all cases the catalytic activity (when eluted) was accompanied by the 43 kDa protein band. Bovine stomach phosphorylase kinase exhibits an apparent molecular mass of 950 kDa, it shows a low Vmax value for phosphorylase b (85 nmol.min-1.mg-1), a pH 6.8/8.2 activity ratio of 0.23, it has an absolute requirement for Ca2+ and it is activated 1.8-fold by Ca2+/calmodulin. Furthermore, the protein kinase activity is neither inhibited by antibodies against rabbit skeletal muscle phosphorylase kinase nor activated by protein phosphorylation. These results suggest that bovine stomach phosphorylase kinase is tightly bound to an aggregate of actin-like molecules.

We have previously described the purification of a myelin basis protein (MBP) kinase from maturing sea star oocytes (Sanghera, J. S., Paddon, H. B., Bader, S. A., and Pelech, S. L. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 52-57). The ability of the purified 44-kDa protein to bind azido-ATP and undergo autophosphorylation on the serine residue implied that it is a protein kinase. Furthermore, partial amino acid sequence data has revealed that it is a novel protein kinase, which we have provisionally designated p44mpk. Autophosphorylation of p44mpk to 0.7 mol of phosphate/mol of enzyme was correlated with a modest (approximately 17%) increase in the MBP-phosphorylating activity of the kinase. Rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against purified p44mpk recognized on immunoblots the protein in highly purified preparations as well as crude oocyte extracts. The affinity-purified anti-p44mpk antibody could immunoprecipitate active kinase, but a subpopulation of the antibody also appeared to be inhibitory. Using this antibody, we have demonstrated that the up to 12-fold stimulation of the cytosolic MBP-phosphorylating activity of this kinase that occurs during sea star oocyte maturation is not due to an increase in the amount of enzyme protein, either from a redistribution within the oocyte or protein synthesis. A slight retardation of the migration of the activated p44mpk on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and its tighter interaction with a MonoQ column is consistent with phosphorylation of the kinase during maturation. p44mpk underwent enhanced phosphorylation when oocytes prelabeled with [32P]orthophosphate were induced to mature with 1-methyladenine. The stimulated MBP-phosphorylating activity of p44mpk in cytosols from maturing oocytes was partly stabilized by the presence of the phosphatase inhibitor beta-glycerol phosphate. Furthermore, treatment of purified p44mpk with protein phosphatase 2A and alkaline phosphatase resulted in 56 and 86% decreases, respectively, in the activity of the kinase. Together, these findings strongly implicate a role for phosphorylation of p44mpk in its activation during sea star oocyte maturation.

The effects of insulin and glucose, alone and combined, on diacylglycerol (DAG), protein kinase-C (PKC), and glucose transport were compared in rat adipocytes and solei incubated in medium containing 0-20 mM glucose. In both tissues insulin rapidly stimulated [3H]DAG production from [3H]glycerol; extracellular glucose masked this effect in adipocytes, but not in solei. [3H]Glucose was avidly converted to DAG in adipocytes, and this conversion was enhanced by insulin. In contrast, [3H]glucose was poorly converted to DAG in solei. Glucose alone (5-20 mM) stimulated PKC translocation in adipocytes, but not in solei. Insulin stimulated PKC translocation in both tissues at all glucose concentrations. However, glucose modulated this effect of insulin in adipocytes by 1) decreasing cytosolic PKC and the absolute amount of PKC translocated, and 2) promoting apparent turnover of membrane PKC. In contrast, in solei, glucose did not affect PKC levels or translocation responses to insulin. In keeping with DAG-PKC signalling, the relative glucose transport effects of insulin were influenced by extracellular glucose in adipocytes, but not in solei. These results suggest that 1) glucose-induced PKC translocation requires metabolism of glucose to DAG; 2) glucose activates DAG-PKC signalling in adipocytes, but not in solei; 3) insulin activates DAG-PKC signalling in both tissues at all glucose levels; and 4) glucose may modulate the effects of insulin on DAG-PKC signalling in adipocytes, but not in solei. Consistent with in vitro results, in solei taken directly from diabetic rats, membrane PKC was decreased, and cytosolic PKC was increased, presumably reflecting diminished PKC translocation due to hypoinsulinemia. In contrast, in adipose tissue, cytosolic PKC was decreased, presumably reflecting hyperglycemia-induced PKC translocation. Accordingly, DAG levels were increased in adipose tissue, but not in solei, in diabetic rats, and insulin increased DAG in both tissues.

The mature product of the c-met proto-oncogene is a putative tyrosine kinase receptor of 190 kd with an alpha beta heterodimeric structure. The c-met protein is phosphorylated in vivo on the beta subunit in the gastric carcinoma cell line GTL-16 (Giordano et al., 1988). Western blots with phosphotyrosine antibodies show that tyrosine phosphorylation of the beta subunit is reduced by treatment of GTL-16 cells with protein kinase C activators (tumor promoting phorbol esters such as phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, TPA, and beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, PdBu, or membrane permeable synthetic diacylglycerol 1-oleyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol, OAG). The inactive analog alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate has no effect. The inhibition induced by TPA is dose dependent and maximal after 1 h. Depletion of protein kinase-C by prolonged treatment with TPA (18-48 h) increases the phosphorylation on tyrosine of the beta subunit. Phospho-amino acid analysis of the c-met protein immunoprecipitated from [32P]orthophosphate-labelled GTL-16 cells shows that protein kinase-C activation leads to an increase in serine phosphorylation and to concomitant decrease in tyrosine phosphorylation. These results suggest that, similar to the EGF and insulin receptor, the putative receptor encoded by the c-met proto-oncogene may be negatively modulated by protein kinase-C phosphorylation.

1. Phosphofructo 2-kinase from chicken erythrocytes copurifies with fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase activity, suggesting that the enzyme is bifunctional. 2. Similarly to phosphofructo 2-kinase from other tissues it is activated by inorganic phosphate, and inhibited by phosphoenol pyruvate, sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and citrate. However, it has some characteristics different than those of chicken liver phosphofructo 2-kinase, indicating that it is a distinct isozyme. 3. The phosphofructo 2-kinase/fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase activity ratio of the erythrocyte enzyme is one order of magnitude higher than that of the enzyme from liver. In contrast with the chicken liver enzyme, phosphofructo 2-kinase from chicken erythrocytes is activated by dithiothreitol and its activity increases with pH. 4. Chicken erythrocyte phosphofructo 2-kinase activity is neither modified by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase or casein kinase I and II. In contrast, it is partially inhibited by protein kinase C.

The enhanced phosphorylations via cAMP, Ca2+ mobilization, and diacyl glycerol formation via the activation of the respective kinases is now classical. The decreased phosphorylation via inhibition of adenylate cyclase via the alpha adrenergic receptor is also becoming understood. What the insulin studies on the control of glycogen synthesis have taught us is that the rate limiting enzyme glycogen synthase is regulated by multiple covalent phosphorylation in an elegant but complex manner. The overall pattern of dephosphorylation is influenced by effecting both phosphatase and kinase activities in a set of interrelated mechanisms. In the presence of glucose, in muscle, fat, and liver under physiological conditions G-6-P acts as a signal to stimulate the phosphatase. An additional stimulation could occur via a novel insulin phosphatase stimulatory mediator. The phosphatase is also stimulated by at least three covalent mechanisms involving altered phosphorylation state. In one there is a decreased phosphorylation of the phosphatase inhibitor 1 potentially related to decreased cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. In the second, there is decreased phosphorylation of the deinhibitor also potentially related to decreased cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation. In the third, an increased activity of casein kinase 2 could activate the ATP-Mg dependent phosphatase by an increased phosphorylation of phosphatase inhibitor 2 (modulatory subunit). In the liver, allosteric control of the phosphatase by G-6-P and nucleotides is of great importance. Insulin also stimulates the phosphatase in long-term experiments via increased protein synthesis. It is clear that future work will be required to determine which species of the various classes of phosphatases are regulated in short-term and long-term regulation by insulin. In terms of kinases, the effects of insulin to inactivate and desensitize the cAMP-dependent protein kinase are established. The molecular mechanisms of this effect remain to be worked out. The enhanced activity of MAP and S-6 kinase would appear to be part of a cascade of reactions perhaps originating in the autophosphorylation and activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. The mechanism of the short-term activation of casein kinase 2 remains to be elucidated. A cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitory mediator, which also inhibits adenylate cyclase is an important element in the regulation of kinase and adenylate cyclase activity by insulin. Its physiological significance must be established in the future, in terms of its control of glycogen synthase activation by insulin. Clearly this kinase inhibitor as well as the phosphatase stimulator are potential regulators of glycogen synthase activity by insulin.

Age-dependent alterations in the effects of catecholamines on lipolysis were investigated in 25 young (21-35 yr) and 10 elderly (58-72 yr) healthy, nonobese subjects using isolated adipocytes obtained from abdominal subcutaneous tissue. Basal lipolysis was not affected by aging, while the rate of catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis was reduced by 50% in the elderly subjects (P less than 0.005). To elucidate the mechanisms behind this phenomenon lipolysis was stimulated with agents that act at well-defined steps in the lipolytic cascade, from the receptor down to the final step: the activation of the protein kinase/hormone-sensitive lipase complex. All agents stimulated lipolysis at a 50% lower rate in elderly as compared with young subjects (P less than 0.05 or less). However, half-maximum effective concentrations of the lipolytic agents were similar in both groups. The antilipolytic effects of alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonists were also the same in young and old subjects. Moreover, the stoichiometric properties of the beta- and alpha 2-receptors did not change with increasing age. In vivo studies performed on the same individuals likewise demonstrated an impaired lipolytic responsiveness, with 50% lower plasma glycerol concentrations during exercise in the elderly subjects (P less than 0.05), in spite of a normal rise in plasma norepinephrine. The plasma glycerol levels correlated strongly to the glycerol release caused by catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis in vitro in both young and elderly subjects (r = 0.8-0.9, P less than 0.001). In conclusion, a decreased activation of the hormone-sensitive lipase complex appears to be the mechanism underlying a blunted lipolytic response of fat cells to catecholamine stimulation in elderly subjects. This finding may, explain the age-dependent decreased lipolytic response to exercise in vivo.

Phosphorylations of two proteins (27 KDa, 32 KDa) in oat cells were dependent on phytochrome action. To determine which kinase system(s) for the phosphorylation of these two proteins are controlled by the phytochrome, involvement of the Ca2+/DG dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) was first investigated. When a protein kinase C inhibitor (1-(5-isoquinoline sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine:H-7) or the inositol phospholipid metabolic blocker Li+ was added into the cell suspension, respectively, the phosphorylations of these two proteins were substantially reduced. On the other hand, an addition of 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG:activator of protein kinase C) or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA: tumor promoting phorbol ester) enhanced the phosphorylations of these proteins. These results suggest that phytochrome action is certainly connected with the protein phosphorylation via the activation of protein kinase C or a similar molecule with protein kinase C.

In this study we investigated the role of protein kinases in activation of the Na(+)-H+ exchanger in inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells. Monolayers, 24-48 h after achieving confluence, were made quiescent by 24 h incubation in 0.1% serum before study. Changes in pHi were measured with 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), a synthetic analogue of diacylglycerol (DAG), was used to stimulate protein kinase C (PKC). In nominally HCO3(-)-free media containing 110 mM Na+ and 1 mM Ca2+, PMA addition increased pHi from 7.29 +/- 0.08 to 7.54 +/- 0.07 after 20 min. The increment in pHi was completely inhibited by 1 mM amiloride or by replacement of extracellular Na+ with choline but not inhibited by 1 mM N-ethylmaleimide, an inhibitor of active proton transport. Downregulation of PKC by overnight incubation of monolayers with PMA also prevented the rise in pHi upon subsequent challenge with PMA. Another active analogue of DAG, 1,2-dioleoyl-rac-glycerol, caused an increment in pHi similar to that produced by PMA, whereas 4 alpha-phorbol, an inactive analogue, did not stimulate Na(+)-H+ exchange. Bradykinin (10(-6) M), a phospholipase C-activating hormone, also induces alkalinization of IMCD cells similar to that produced by phorbol esters. Neither vasopressin (10(-7) M), which induces cellular accumulation of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and activation of protein kinase A (PKA), nor 8-bromo-cAMP (1 mM) changed pHi. Therefore in the IMCD cell activation of PKC but not PKA stimulates a rise in pHi via the Na(+)-H+ exchanger.

Glycogen and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels in rat liver decreased quickly after partial hepatectomy. After 7 days the glycogen level was normalized and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration still remained low. The 'active' (non-phosphorylated) form of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase varied in parallel with fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels, whereas the 'total' activity of the enzyme decreased only after 24 h, similarly to glucokinase. The response of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from hepatectomized rats (96 h) to sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and to cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was different from that of the enzyme from control animals and similar to that of the foetal isoenzyme.
