Calcium transport into sarcoplasmic reticulum fragments isolated from dog cardiac and mixed skeletal muscle (quadriceps) and from mixed fast (tibialis), pure fast (caudofemoralis) and pure slow (soleus) skeletal muscles from the cat was studied. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphorylase b kinase stimulated the rate of calcium transport although some variability was observed. A specific protein kinase inhibitor prevented the effect of protein kinase but not of phosphorylase b kinase. The addition of cyclic AMP to the sarcoplasmic reticulum preparations in the absence of protein kinase had only a slight stimulatory effect despite the presence of endogenous protein kinase. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalyzed the phosphorylation of several components present in the sarcoplasmic reticulum fragments; a 19000 to 21 000 dalton peak was phosphorylated with high specific activity in sarcoplasmic reticulum preparations isolated from heart and from slow skeletal muscle, but not from fast skeletal muscle. Phosphorylase b kinase phosphorylated a peak of molecular weight 95000 in all of the preparations. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase-stimulated phosphorylation was optimum at pH 6.8; phosphorylase b kinase phosphorylation had a biphasic curve in cardiac and slow skeletal muscle with optima at pH 6.8 and 8.0. The addition of exogenous phosphorylase b kinase or protein kinase increased the endogenous level of phosphorylation 25-100%. All sarcoplasmic reticulum preparations contained varying amounts of adenylate cyclase, phosphorylase b and a (b:a = 30.1), "debrancher" enzyme and glycogen (0.3 mg/mg protein), as well as varying amounts of protein kinase and phosphorylase b kinase which were responsible for a significant endogenous phosphorylation. Thus, the two phosphorylating enzymes stimulated calcium uptake in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of a variety of muscles possessing different physiologic characteristics and different responses to drugs. In addition, the phosphorylation catalyzed by these enzymes occurred at two different protein moieties which make physiologic interpretation of the role of phosphorylation difficult. While the role phosphorylation in these mechanisms is complex, the presence of a glycogenolytic enzyme system may be an important link in this phenomenon. The sarcoplasmic reticulum represents a new substrate for phosphorylase b kinase.

Three protein kinases (EC 2.7.1.37) were detected in Blepharisma and partially purified. The enzymes were most active with histone as substrate protein. The stability of the bond between phosphate and protein acceptor showed the characteristics of seryl- or threonylphosphate. Protein kinase I was solubilized by ultrasonication or freezing and thawing, while the enzymes II and III were readily solubilized by mild homogenization. Protein II and III were noticeably activated by cAMP and cGMP, while protein kinase I was inhibited by cAMP. Associated with protein kinase II and III activity was the ability to bind labeled cAMP. The following molecular weights were determined: 90000 for enzyme I, 280000 for enzyme II, and 95000 for enzyme III. Various apparent Michaelis constants were estimated.

Dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dB-cAMP) elicits a concentration-dependent stimulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the striatal and mesolimbic synaptosomes. The per cent of stimulation is significantly higher in the mesolimbic synaptosomes than in the striatal synaptosomes. dB-cAMP and depolarizing agents (ouabain or veratridine) have an additive effect on synaptosomal tyrosine hydroxylase activity, indicating that they stimulate tyrosine hydroxylase activity by different mechanisms. cAMP does not stimulate soluble striatal tyrosine hydroxylase activity unless it is added in combination with ATP and Mg2+, compounds required for the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The cAMP elicited per cent stimulation of soluble tyrosine hydroxylase activity is dependent upon the concentration of added protein kinase and upon the pH of the reaction. dB-cAMP has the same effect on the kinetic state of tyrosine hydroxylase in synaptosomes as cAMP on the soluble tyrosine hydroxylase. The nucleotide does not alter the apparent Km for tyrosine, reduces the Km for the pteridine cofactor and increases the Ki for dopamine. Thus, cAMP increases the affinity of tyrosine hydroxylase for the pteridine cofactor and concomitantly decreases the affinity for the end-product inhibition.

The effects of the alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine on the levels of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and the activity of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in isolated rat liver parenchymal cells were studied. Cyclic AMP was very slightly (5 to 13%) increased in cells incubated with phenylephrine at a concentration (10(-5) M) which was maximally effective on glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. However, the increase was significant only at 5 min. Cyclic AMP levels with 10(-5) M phenylephrine measured at this time were reduced by the beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol, but were unaffected by the alpha-blocker phenoxybenzamine, indicating that the elevation was due to weak beta activity of the agonist. When doses of glucagon, epinephrine, and phenylephrine which produced the same stimulation of glycogenolysis or gluconeogenesis were added to the same batches of cells, there were marked rises in cAMP with glucagon, minimal increases with epinephrine, and little or no changes with phenylephrine, indicating that the two catecholamine stimulated these processes largely by mechanisms not involving cAMP accumulation. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of homogenates of liver cells revealed two major peaks of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. These eluted at similar salt concentrations as the type I and II isozymes from rat heart. Optimal conditions for preservation of hormone effects on the activity of the enzyme in the cells were determined. High concentrations of phenylephrine (10(-5) M and 10(-4) M) produced a small increase (10 tp 16%) in the activity ratio (-cAMP/+cAMP) of the enzyme. This was abolished by propranolol, but not by phenoxybenzamine, indicating that it was due to weak beta activity of the agonist. The increase in the activity ratio of the kinase with 10(-5) M phenylephrine was much smaller than that produced by a glycogenolytically equivalent dose of glucagon. The changes in protein kinase induced by phenylephrine and the blockers and by glucagon were thus consistent with those in cAMP. Theophylline and 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine, which inhibit cAMP phosphodiesterase, potentiated the effects of phenylephrine on glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The potentiations were blocked by phenoxybenzamine, but not by propranolol. Methylisobutylxanthine increased the levels of cAMP and enhanced the activation of protein kinase in cells incubated with phenylephrine. These effects were diminished or abolished by propanolol, but were unaffected by phenoxybenzamine. It is concluded from these data that alpha-adrenergic activation of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in isolated rat liver parenchymal cells occurs by mechanisms not involving an increase in total cellular cAMP or activation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The results also show that phosphodiesterase inhibitors potentiate alpha-adrenergic actions in hepatocytes mainly by a mechanism(s) not involving a rise in cAMP.

When dexamethasone 0.25 or 2.5 mumole/kg i.p. was injected 2 h before reserpine (16 mumol/kg i.p.) the time course of the increase in cAMP content of rat adrenal medulla was changed. Reserpine alone caused a monophasic increase lasting between 1-2 h; reserpine after dexamethasone caused a biphasic increase: the immediate response, lasting between 15 and 30 min, was followed by a secondary increase beginning 2-3 h after reserpine and lasting for several hours. The overall increase in cAMP content elicited by reserpine during the 8 h following injection remained unchanged or was even increased, depending on the dose of dexamethasone. Pretreatment with dexamethasone, which delayed the increase in cAMP, also delayed the activation and translocation of protein kinase and the induction of tyrosine hydroxylase caused by reserpine in adrenal medulla. The action of reserpine on the cAMP content of adrenal medulla required an intact innervation and did not appear to be related to increased secretion of ACTH from pituitary. In denervated adrenals reserpine failed to increase the cAMP content of the medulla but not that of the cortex.

A dependence of rat liver urocaninase activity on the agents affecting the adenylate cyclase system was studied in vitro and in vivo. Urocaninase is considerably activated after the injection of glucagone, NaF, theophylline and 3',5'-AMP. Under conditions optimal for the protein kinase activity of phosphorylase the urocaninase of liver extracts was activated 7-fold on the average. The nezyme retains its activity after gel-filtration through Sephadex G-25 and is capable of inactivation in the presence of Mg2+ and of reactivation after addition of ATP and 3',5'-AMP. These data suggest a possibility of regulation of mammalian liver urocaninase activity by 3',5'-AMP-dependent phosphorylation of the enzyme. Derivatives of hypoxanthine (theophylline and caffeine) in concentration 10(-4) M activate urocaninase in liver extracts 2--3 and 1.5-fold respectively. The activation is probably not due to the 3',5'-AMP phosphodiesterase inhibition, since another phosphodiesterase inhibitor--papaverine--has no activating effect on urocaninase.

A new assay procedure for triglyceride lipase [EC 3.1.1.3] was developed in which radioactive triolein was dissolved in ethanol and directly added to the reaction mixture in the absence of serum and albumin. In the rat adipose tissue there appeared to be a triglyceride lipase measurable with this assay in addition to the two previously defined lipases, lipoprotein lipase [EC 3.1.1.34] and hormone-sensitive lipase. The enzyme was active in the absence of serum and was strongly inhibited by albumin. The molecular weight was estimated to be about 42,000. Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase [EC 2.7.1.27] was unable to activate the enzyme. The three species of lipases mentioned above behaved differently upon chromatography on a Sepharose 4B column, and were distinguishable from each other in their physical and kinetic properties. The physiological roles of the new species of lipase remain to be explored.

1. A cyclic 3',5'-AMP-independent protein kinase (ATP : protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) from rat liver cytosol was partially purified and characterized. Purification by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, DEAE-cellulose, Bio Gel A-0.5 m and cellulose phosphate chromatography increased the specific activity about 700-fold. 2. An endogenous protein substrate was closely associated with the protein kinase and was not separable from this enzyme up to the cellulose phosphate stage. After phosphorylation, chromatography with Bio Gel A-0.5 m partially separated this endogenous phosphoprotein from the enzyme activity; this dissociation had no apparent effect on kinase activity with casein or phosvitin as substrates, or on the apparent molecular weight of the enzyme (approx. 158,000). 3. This protein kinase with casein, phosvitin, or the endogenous substrate was totally insensitive to the thiol reagents, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), iodoacetamide, and N-ethylmaleimide. The enzyme was also unaffected by cyclic 3',5'-AMP, heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor, and the regulatory subunit of a cyclic 3',5'-AMP-dependent protein kinase.

The effect of an inhibitor of adenylate cyclase (ACI) was measured on some enzymes associated with cyclic nucleotide-regulated metabolism. Soluble guanylate cyclase was inhibited; both soluble and particulate cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterases were stimulated. Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases were unaffected. In contrast, the activities of Na, K-ATPase, protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, glycogen synthetase and a number of glycosidases were not altered by equipotent amounts of the inhibitor. It is concluded that this substance acts as a modulator of both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP metabolism in heart and other tissues.

In rabbit heart homogenates about 50% of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity was associated with the low speed particulate fraction. In homogenates of rat or beef heart this fraction represented approximately 30% of the activity. The percentage of the enzyme in the particulate fraction was not appreciably affected either by preparing more dilute homogenates or by aging homogenates for up to 2 h before centrifugation. The particulate enzyme was not solubilized at physiological ionic strength or by the presence of exogenous proteins during homogenization. However, the holoenzyme or regulatory subunit could be solubilized either by Triton X-100, high pH, or trypsin treatment. In hearts of all species studied, the particulate-bound protein kinase was mainly or entirely the type II isozyme, suggesting isozyme compartmentalization. In rabbit hearts perfused in the absence of hormones and homogenized in the presence of 0.25 M NaCl, at least 50% of the cAMP in homogenates was associated with the particulate fraction. Omitting NaCl reduced the amount of particulate-bound cAMP. Most of the particulate-bound cAMP was probably associated with the regulatory subunit in this fraction since approximately 70% of the bound nucleotide was solubilized by addition of homogeneous catalytic subunit to the particulate fraction. The amount of cAMP in the particulate fraction (0.16 nmol/g of tissue) was approximately one-half the amount of the regulatory subunit monomer (0.31 nmol/g of tissue) in this fraction. The calculated amount of catalytic subunit in the particulate fraction was 0.18 nmol/g of tissue. Either epinephrine alone or epinephrine plus 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine increased the cAMP content of the particulate and supernatant fractions. The cAMP level was increased more in the supernatant fraction, possibly because the cAMP level became saturating for the regulatory subunit in the particulate fraction. The increase in cAMP was associated with translocation of a large percentage of the catalytic subunit activity from the particulate to the supernatant fraction. The distribution of the regulatory subunit of the enzyme was not significantly affected by this treatment. The catalytic subunit translocation could be mimicked by addition of cAMP to homogenates before centrifugation. The data suggest that the regulatory subunit of the protein kinase, at least that of isozyme II, is bound to particulate material, and theactive catalytic subunit is released by formation of the regulatory subunit-cAMP complex when the tissue cAMP concentration is elevated. A model for compartmentalized hormonal control is presented.
