Derivatives of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate (cAMP) with modifications in both the 2' and the 8 positions were synthesized and their enzymic activities as activators of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and as substrates for and inhibitors of cAMP phosphodiesterases were determined. Three types of derivatives were investigated: 8-substituted derivatives of O2'-Bt-cAMP, 8-substituted derivatives of 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate (ara-cAMP), and 8-substituted derivatives of 8,2'-anhydro-9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine 3,'5'-cyclic phosphate (8,2'-anhydro-cAMP). The 8-substituted O2'-Bt-cAMP derivatives were synthesized by acylation of the preformed 8-substituted cAMP (8-HS-cAMP, 8-MeS-cAMP, and 8-PhCH2S-cAMP). 8-Br-O2'-tosyl-cAMP was sued as an intermediate for the preparation of 8,2'-anhydro-cAMP derivatives (8-HO-, 8-SH-, 8-H2N-, and 8-H3 CHN derivatives of 8,2'-anhydro-cAMP). 8-Substituted ara-cAMP derivatives were obtained by ring opening of 8-HO-8,2'-anhydro-cAMP with H+/H2O, NH3/MeOH, or MeONa/MeOH (to yield the 8-HO-, 8-H2N-, and 8-MeO-ara-cAMP derivatives). All of these doubly modified derivatives of cAMP are less than one-hundredth as active as cAMP at activating protein kinase and did not serve as substrates for the phosphodiesterase. These data show that the general inactivity of 2' derivatives of cAMP with kinase was not overcome by addition of an 8-substituent, even though many 8-substituted derivatives of cAMP activate the kinase more efficiently than does cAMP itself. In addition they show that while 2'-modification were tolerated by the phosphodiesterase, addition of an 8-substituent countermanded the allowable 2'-modification. The 8-substituted derivates of 02'-Bt-cAMP were found in general to be slightly better inhibitors of phosphodiesterase than the parent compounds containing no o2'-Bt substitution. As a group, the 8-substituted ara-cAMP derivatives were poorer inhibitors of phosphodiesterase than 8-substituted cAMP derivatives while the 8,2'-anhydro-cAMP derivatives were much poorer inhibitors than the 8-substituted ara-cAMP derivatives.

1. Troponin I isolated from fresh cardiac muscle by affinity chromatography contains about 1.9 mol of covalently bound phosphate/mol. Similar preparations of white-skeletal-muscle troponin I contain about 0.5 mol of phosphate/mol. 2. A 3':5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and a protein phosphatase are associated with troponin isolated from cardiac muscle. 3. Bovine cardiac 3':5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalyses the phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I 30 times faster than white-skeletal-muscle troponin I. 4. Troponin I is the only component of cardiac troponin phosphorylated at a significant rate by the endogenous or a bovine cardiac 3':5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. 5. Phosphorylase kinase catalyses the phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I at similar or slightly faster rates than white-skeletal-muscle troponin I. 6. Troponin C inhibits the phosphorylation of cardiac and skeletal troponin I catalysed by phosphorylase kinase and the phosphorylation of white skeletal troponin I catalysed by 3':5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase; the phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I catalysed by the latter enzyme is not inhibited.

Binding reactions are usually investigated by separation of free and bound labelled ligand. Underestimation of the amount bound leads to inaccurate estimation of the dissociation constant and to wrong conclusions on the validity of the model of binding. The activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is treated as an example.

Essentially pure phenylalanine hydroxylase from rat liver can be activated between 2.5- and 3.0-fold by treatment with Mg2+, ATP, protein kinase, and cyclic AMP. The activation is seen when the hydroxylase is assayed in the presence of tetrahydrobiopterin, but not in the presence of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethyltetrahydropteridine. In the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP, activation is accompanied by incorporation of 32P into the protein to the extent of 0.7 mol/mol of hydroxylase subunit (Mr = 50,000). Cehmical analysis of the untreated enzyme shows that it already contains about 0.3 mol of Pi/mol of hydroxylase. These results suggest that the activity of the hydroxylase may be regulated by phosphorylation.

Phosphorylation of rat liver RNA polymerase I occurred when intact rat liver nuclei were incubated with [gamma32P]ATP and N6,O2' dibutyryl cyclic 3':5'-AMP. In addition, partially purified RNA polymerase I could be phosphorylated in vitro by an endogenous protein kinase. Phosphorylation by either method was followed by extensive purification of the enzyme. This revealed that 32P remained bound to the enzyme throughout purification. Analysis of the homogeneous labeled protein by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions followed by autoradiography revealed that only one of the two forms of RNA polymerase I in rat liver nuclei was phosphorylated. RNA polymerase II was not phosphorylated in intact nuclei. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the phosphorylated RNA polymerase I in the presence of 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate followed by autoradiography demonstrated that the 32P was located primarily on enzyme subunits SA1, SA3, and SA5-SA6. High voltage paper electrophoresis of a partial acid hydrolysate of phosphorylated RNA polymerase I revealed that both serine and threonine residues were phosphroylated. N6,O2'-Dibutyryl cyclic 3':5'-AMP stimulated endogenous RNA polymerase I activity and endogenous nuclear protein phosphorylation in intact nuclei. These results suggest that phosphorylation of RNA polymerase I by nuclear protein kinases may play a role in the control of transcription in mammalian cells.

When resting confluent monolayers of WI-38 fibroblasts are stimulated to proliferate by serum, DNA synthesis begins to increase between 15-18 h after stimulation. Chromatin-bound protein kinase activity increases in stimulated cells within 1 h after the nutritional change, concomitant with an increase in the template activity of nuclear chromatin. Addition of dibutyryl 3' : 5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dibutyryl cyclic) AMP to the stimulating medium inhibits the entrance of cells into S phase, but only if dibutyryl cyclic AMP (5-10(-4) M) is added before the onset of DNA synthesis. The increases in chromatin template activity and in the chromatin-bound kinase activity are not inhibited by dibutyryl cyclic AMP in the early hours after stimulation, but are completely inhibited after the 5th hour from the nutritional change. This seems to indicate that in stimulated WI-38 cells, dibutyryl cyclic AMP exerts its inhibitory action somewhere between 5 and 12 h after stimulation. A number of protein kinase activities were extracted from chromatin with 0.3 M NaCl and partially resolved on a phosphocellulose column. Two distinct peaks of protein kinase activity appeared to be markedly increased in WI-38 cells 6 h after serum stimulation. Both peaks of increased activity were inhibited by dibutyryl cyclic AMP in vivo. Adenosine, sodium butyrate and adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) do not inhibit the increase in DNA synthesis nor the increase in protein kinase activity. The results suggest that stimulation of cell proliferation in confluent monolayers of WI-38 cells causes an increase (or the new appearance) of certain chromatin-bound protein kinases, and that this increase is inhibited by cyclic AMP in vivo.

Purified glycogen synthase is contaminated with traces of two protein kinases that can phosphorylate the enzyme. One is protein kinase dependent on adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and the second is an activity termed glycogen synthase kinase-2 [Nimmo, H.G. and Cohen P, (1974)]. Glycogen synthase kinase-2 has been found to be localized relatively specifically in the protein-glycogen complex. It has been purified 4000-fold by two procedures, both of which involve disruption of the complex, followed by the DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatographies. However the salt concentration at which glycogen synthase kinase-2 is eluted from DEAE-cellulose depends on the method that is used to disrupt the complex. The results indicate that glycogen synthase kinase-2 is firmly attached to a protein component of the complex. The isolation procedures separate glycogen synthase kinase-2 from phosphorylase kinase, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and other glycogen-metabolising enzymes. Glycogen synthase kinase-2 is the major phosvitin kinase in skeletal muscle, although glycogen synthase is a six to eight-fold better substrate than phosvitin under the standard assay conditions. Phosphorylase kinase and phosphorylase b are not substrates for glycogen synthase kinase 2. Following incubation with cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, cyclic AMP and Mg-ATP, the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase reaches a plateau at 1.0 molecules of phosphate incorporated per subunit and the activity ratio measured in the absence and presence of glucose 6-phosphate falls from 0.8 to a plateau of 0.18. The Ka for glucose 6-phosphate of this phosphorylated species, termed glycogen synthase b1, is the 0.6 mM. Following incubation with glycogen synthase kinase-2 and Mg-ATP, the phosphorylation reaches a plateau of 0.92 molecules of phosphate incorporated per subunit and the activity ratio decreases to a plateau of 0.08. The Ka for glucose 6-phosphate of this phosphorylated species, termed glycogen synthetase b2, is 4 mM. In the presence of both cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase and glycogen synthase kinase-2, the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase reaches a plateau when 1.95 molecules of phoshophate have been incorporated per subunit. The activity ratio is 0.01 and the Ka for glucose 6-phosphate is 10 mM. The results indicate that glycogen synthase can be regulated by two distinct phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycles. The implication of these findings for the regulation of glycogen synthase in vivo are discussed.

Cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase catalyses the activation of phosphorylase kinase and the phosphorylation of two serine residues on the alpha subunit and beta subunit of phosphorylase kinase [Cohen, P., Watson, D.C. and Dixon, G.H. (1975)]. The dephosphorylation of phosphorylase kinase has been shown to be catalysed by two distinct enzymes, termed alpha-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase and beta-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase. These two enzymes show essentially absolute specificity towards the alpha and beta subunits respectively. The two phosphatases copurified through ethanol fractionation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography and ammonium sulphate precipitation, but were separated from each other by a gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. alpha-Phosphorylase kinase phosphatase was purified 500-fold from the ethanol precipitation step, and beta-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase 320-fold. The molecular weights estimated by gel filtration were 170--180 000 for alpha-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase and 75--80 000 for beta-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase. Since the activity of phosphorylase kinase correlates with the state of phosphorylation of the beta subunit (Cohen, P. (1974)), beta-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase is the enzyme which reverses the activation of phosphorylase kinase. alpha-Phosphorylase kinase phosphatase is an enzyme activity that has not been recognised previously. Since the role of the alpha-subunit phosphorylation is to stimulate the rate of dephosphorylation of the beta subunit (Cohen, P. (1974)), alpha-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase can be regarded as the enzyme which inhibits the reversal of the activation of phosphorylase kinase. The implications of these findings for the hormonal control of phosphorylase kinase activity by multisite phosphorylation are discussed.

Highly purified preparations of hemin-controlled repressor of rabbit reticulocyte contain a 3':5'-cyclic AMP-indenpendent protein kinase activity that phosphorylates the low-molecular-weight (about 38,000) polypeptide chain of the initiation factor that forms a ternary complex with GTP and Met-tRNAf. These preparations also phosphorylate several polypeptide components of reticulocyte 40S ribosomal subunits. However, no significant levels of phosphorylation are observed when casein, histones, Artemia salina 40S ribosomal subunits, or other initiation factor fractions are used as substrates although high levels of phosphorylation are obtained with cruder preparations of the repressor. An antibody to these highly purified preparations of repressor has been obtained from the serum of immunized goats. Preincubation with immune goat IgG results in the neutralization of the inhibitory activity of the repressor, while normal IgG has no effect. Preincubation with immune IgG also abolishes the protein kinase activity responsible for the phosphorylation of the initiation factor and reticulocyte 40S subunits. Histone phosphorylation by crude repressor preparations, on the other hand, is unaffected by preincubation with immune IgG.

A previous study demonstrated that the translational inhibitor from lysates of heme-deficient rabbit reticulocytes is associated with a protein kinase activity. Chromatography of this inhibitor preparation on phosphocellulose yields two distinct protein kinase activities, PC1 and PC2. PC1, which consitutes about 90% of the activity in the unresolved preparation, does not inhibit protein synthesis in lysates, but actively phosporylates calf thymus histone II in a 3':5'-cyclic AMP-denpendent reaction. PC2 contains the translational inhibitor, phosphorylates histone poorly, and is not cyclic AMP-dependent. While [gamma-32P]ATP as the phosphate donor, the two kinase fractions were analyzed with the putative substrates, salt-washed 40S ribosomal subunits, and the initiation factor that mediates the binding of Met-tRNAf to the 40S subunit. PC1 is inactive with the initiation factor, but phosphorylates 40S subunits at a single major site that migrates as a 31,000-dalton band in sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gels; phosphorylation requires cyclic AMP. Similar phosphorylation of the reticulocyte 40S site (31,000 daltons) can be demonstrated with other cyclic AMP-dependent kinases from reticulocytes, rat liver, and bovine heart muscle. PC2 phosphorylates the small subunit (38,000 daltons) but not the large subunit(s) of the initiation factor; the reaction does not require cyclic AMP. PC2 does not phosphorylate 40S subunits. In the presence of 40S subunits, the initiation factor appears to be rapidly bound in a manner that effectively blocks phosphorylation of the initiation factor by PC2; under the same conditions phosphorylation of the 40S subunit by PC1 is not affected. The initiation factor has been shown to reverse the inhibitions of protein chain initiation induced in lysates by heme deficiency, double-stranded RNA, oxidized glutathione, or the purified translational inhibitor. The observation that the Met-tRNAf binding factor is phosphorylated by PC2 supports the hypothesis that this initiation factor is a target for the action of the translational inhibitor activated in heme deficiency.
