Guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) has been isolated from silkworm pupal fat body (Bombyx mori) which is devoid of any adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase. The enzyme displayed catalytic properties which were roughly similar to those described for adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase. This similarity has been found in substrate specificity, optimal Mg2+ dependency, polyamines effects and the lack of dependency upon sulfhydryl compound for activation by cyclic GMP. Treatment of the enzyme with sulfhydryl reagents, N-ethylmaleimide or p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, inhibited the catalytic activity as well as the dissociation of the binding and catalytic activities as shown by means of sucrose-density gradient ultracentrifugation. In the presence of cyclic GMP or histone, the disulfide-linked structure did not dissociate into separate subunits nor did it migrate as the holoenzyme but sedimented as an intermediate form carrying both binding and catalytic activities.

Initial and transient increases in the basal levels of cyclic GMP in the heart were noted prior to cardiac hypertrophy in rats administered isoproterenol. Increased levels of cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase (in both the soluble and particulate fractions) and stimulatory modulator of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase, however, were associated with the progression, or the state, of cardiomegaly, with their levels returning to the control values upon regression of the hypertrophy. The levels of cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase in the soluble fraction were lower, whereas those in the particulate fraction were higher, in the hypertrophied heart than the control. In cardiac hypertrophy, the maximal activity ratio(--cyclic AMP/+cyclic AMP) of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the incubated minced heart caused by isoproterenol was lower, whereas the concentration of isoproterenol required to increase the activity ratio half-maximally was higher than controls; the reduced responsiveness to the drug, however, was reversed when the hypertrophy regressed. These observations, taken collectively, appear to suggest that the desensitization of the beta-adrenergic mechanism seen in the cardiac hypertrophy produced by repeated administration of isoproterenol is associated with adaptive modifications in certain parameters of the cyclic nucleotide systems.

The stoichiometry of cyclic AMP binding protein to cyclic AMP in sporulating cells of Blastocladiella emersonii and the resistance of protein-bound cyclic AMP to enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis suggest that the distribution of cyclic AMP between free and protein-bound pools is an important factor in cyclic AMP metabolism. Most but not all of the cyclic AMP binding protein in sporulating cells is associated with a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

A cyclic AMP-like substance has been isolated from higher plant tissues which can be quantitated with the use of a radioimmunoassay similar to that described by A. L. Steiner, D. M. Kipnis, R. Utiger, and C. Parker [(1969) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 64, 367-373]. This compound has been extensively purified and is chromatographically distinct from authentic cyclic AMP. This cyclic AMP-like compound inhibited beef heart 3':5'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodietsterase (3':5'-cyclic-nucleotide 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.17), with half-maximal inhibition occurring at a concentration of 7.6 X 10(-10) M cyclic AMP equivalents. The compound also inhibited cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.1.37) from bovine heart, with half-maximal inhibition of mixed histone phosphorylation occurring at 8.0 X 10(-11) M cyclic AMP equivalents. Equipotent inhibition of phosphorylation and associated trace ATPase activity were observed with the purified catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from calf thymus with a synthetic heptapeptide as substrate. Moreover, steady-state kinetic analysis of this inhibition in the latter system showed it to be nonlinear and noncompetitive versus MgATP.

The effects of adenosine 3' : 5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP), guanosine 3' : 5'-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) and exogenous protein kinase on Ca uptake and membrane phosphorylation were studied in subcellular fractions of vascular smooth muscle from rabbit aorta. Two functionally distinct fractions were separated on a continuous sucrose gradient: a light fraction enriched in endoplasmic reticulum (fraction E) and a heavier fraction containing mainly plasma membranes (fraction P). While cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP had no effect on Ca uptake in the absence of oxalate, both cyclic nucleotides inhibited the rate of oxalate-activated Ca uptake when used at concentrations higher than 10(-5) M. The addition of bovine heart protein kinase to either fraction produced an increase in the rate of oxalate-activated Ca uptake which was further augmented by cyclic AMP. Cyclic GMP caused smaller stimulations of protein kinase-catalyzed Ca uptake than cyclic AMP. Mg-dependent phosphorylation, attributable to endogenous protein kinase(s), was inhibited in fraction E by low concentrations (10(-8) M) of both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP. In fraction P, an inhibition by cyclic AMP occurred also at a concentration of 10(-8) M, while with cyclic AMP a concentration of 10(-5) M was required for a similar inhibition. Bovine heart protein kinase stimulated the phosphorylation of the membrane fractions much more than Ca uptake. In fraction E, in the presence of bovine protein kinase, both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP stimulated phosphorylation up to 200%. Under these conditions, no stimulation was observed in fraction P. These results are compatible with the hypothesis that in vascular smooth muscle soluble rather than particulate protein kinases are involved in the regulation of intracellular Ca concentration.

A method using the principle of affinity elution chromatography is described for the assay of adenylate cyclase in intact human platelets. By incubating platelet-rich plasma in the presence of radioactively labelled adenine, the ATP pool of the cells was prelabelled. Formation of labelled cyclic AMP from ATP was determined by extracting the platelets with HC1O4. After removal of the latter as KC1O4, the extract containing cyclic AMP and other adenine nucleotides was adsorbed in a NN-diethyl-N-2-hydroxypropylamino (QAE)-cellulose column. The column was washed, and subsequently cyclic AMP was specifically eluted with a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and the radioactivity of the eluate was determined.

Highly purified SV40 large T antigen exhibits an ATPase activity which can be stimulated approximately 7-fold by the DNA homopolymer poly(dT). The poly(dT)-stimulated enzyme can hydrolyze various ribonucleotide and deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates, with ATP and dATP serving as the best substrates. Purified large T antigen hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and Pi, with a maximum specific activity of 13.5 mumol of inorganic phosphate released per h per mg of protein. Of the various natural and synthetic polynucleotides tested, poly(dT) was by far the best activator. Long chain poly(dT) molecules are much more effective activators than are short chain length oligo(dT) molecules. The highly purified large T antigen contains no detectable protein kinase activity.

Monomeric cAMP-binding fragments of molecular mass 16,000 and 14,000 daltons were obtained by Sephadex G-75 chromatography of partially trypsin-hydrolyzed regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase isozymes I and II, respectively. The Stokes radii were 19.1 and 16.4 A, the frictional ratios were 1.15 and 1.03, and the sedimentation coefficients were 1.94 and 1.91 S for the 16,000- and 14,000-dalton fragments, respectively. The 16,000-dalton fragment retained specific cyclic nucleotide binding characteristics of the native protein. The specificity of cyclic nucleotide binding to the 14,000-dalton fragment (cAMP greater than cIMP = 8-bromo-cAMP = 8-oxo-cAMP greater than cUMP = cGMP) differed from that of the native subunit (cAMP = 8-oxo-cAMP greater than 8-bromo-cAMP greater than cIMP greater than cUMP = cGMP). The 14,000-dalton fragment bound nearly 1 mol of cAMP/mol of fragment. The binding exchange rate of cAMP was much faster for the 14,000-dalton fragment than for either of the native regulatory subunits or for the 16,000 dalton fragment. Although hemin inhibited cAMP binding to the native regulatory subunits and to the 16,000 dalton fragment, the molecule did not affect cAMP binding to the 14,000-dalton fragment. Both of the native regulatory subunits and the isolated 16,000- and 14,000-dalton fragments could be covalently labeled with the photoaffinity analog, 8-N3-[32P]cAMP. The 14,000-dalton fragment could not be phosphorylated and neither fragment could recombine with the catalytic subunit to inhibit its activity. The results indicate that the functional entities of the regulatory subunit other than cAMP binding are destroyed by trypsin. The properties of the 16,000-dalton fragment suggest that the intact cAMP-binding site is contained in a small trypsin-resistant "core" of the native regulatory subunit. The properties of the 14,000-dalton fragment imply that part of the binding site of the native regulatory subunit was slighlty modified or lost during preparation of this fragment.

Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) receptor protein of 56,000 daltons increases markedly in mammary tumors induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) after incubation of tumor slices with cyclic AMP, benzamide, and arginine. Incubation of cytosol from these tumor slices with nuclei from unincubated tumors results in nuclear uptake of the 56,000-dalton cyclic AMP receptor and in phosphorylation of the 76,000-dalton nuclear protein. Binding of the 56,000-dalton receptor and phosphorylation of the 76,000-dalton protein also occur in DMBA tumor nuclei when protein kinase type II of bovine heart is used. The results suggest that cyclic AMP receptor is involved in the nuclear events of a hormone-dependent mammary tumor.

Morphological revertants of avian sarcoma virus transformed vole cells contain the sarcoma gene product (pp60src) in an enzymatically active form, suggesting that the presence of pp60src protein kinase activity is infussicient to induce morphological transformation. Structural analyses of pp60src from infected vole cell clones suggest that in one of the revertant clones on alteration in pp60src may be responsible for morphological reversion while in a second clone, reversion may result from an alteration in a cell gene product with which pp60src must interact. As these morphological revertant cells are tumorigenic, different cell components are required to interact with pp60src to facilitate the two events.
