Two tryptic phosphopeptides containing the sites on the alpha and beta subunits of phosphorylase kinase which are phosphorylated by protein kinase, dependent on adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP), have been isolated and their amino acid sequences have been determined. 32P-labelled phosphorylase kinase, containing 1.9 mol phosphate per mol enzyme, was digested with an equimolar quantity of trypsin for 2.5 min at pH 7.0, 20 degrees C. This treatment released nearly all the 32P radioactivity associated with the beta subunit as trichloroacetic-acid-soluble material. Only a small proportion of the 32P radioactivity associated with the alpha subunit was solubilised, the remainder being removed in the trichloroacetic acid pellet. The beta-subunit tryptic phosphopeptide was completely resolved from traces of the alpha-subunit phosphopeptide by gel filtration on Sephadex G-25. Further purification by peptide mapping separated the phosphopeptide into four components, each derived from the same nine-amino-acid segment of the betachain, which was found to possess the sequence: Gln-Ser-Gly-Ser(P)-Val-Ile-Tyr-Pro-Leu-Lys. The four components were produced by the partial cyclisation of the N-terminal glutaminyl residue, and by the presence of two alleles for the beta subunit in the rabbit population, which led to a valine-isoleucine ambiguity. The alpha-subunit phosphopeptide was liberated from the trichloroacetic acid pellet by redigestion with trypsin. It was the largest component in the digest which remained soluble in 5% trichloroacetic acid, and obtained in a highly purified form by a single filtration on Sephadex G-50. The peptide comprised 39 amino acids of which nine were serine and three were threonine residues. Only one residue, the serine at position three from the amino terminus, was phosphorylated. The amino-terminal sequence of the peptide was shown to be: Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser-Glx-Pro-Asx-Gly. The sequences confirm the stoichiometry of the reaction and the absolute specificity of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase for just two of the 200 serine residues in the enzyme. These results and an inspection of the rate of phosphorylation of a number of skeletal muscle proteins, including each enzyme of the glycolytic pathway, lead to the conclusion that cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase is an extremely specific enzyme. The molecular basis of this specificity is discussed.

The substrate specificity of the catalytic subunit of rabbit skeletal muscle 3': 5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37; ATP: protein phosphotransferase) has been studied using the synthetic peptide Arg-Gly-Tyr-Ser-Leu-Gly corresponding to the sequence around serine 24, a phosphorylation site in reduced, carboxymethylated, maleylated (RCMM) chicken egg white lysozyme. This peptide served as a substrate for the enzyme and exhibited a 6-fold higher Vmax and a 100-fold higher Km than RCMM-lysozyme. Replacement of the arginine with glycine, histidine, or lysine resulted in a dramatic reduction in the Vmax. These results support the concept that arginine is an important residue in determining the substrate specificity of the protein kinase, predominantly influencing the Vmax of the phosphorylation reaction. Two synthetic peptides in which serine was replaced by an alanine acted as competitive inhibitors of phosphorylation of the synthetic peptide substrate and RCMM-lysozyme.

The known amino acid sequences at the two sites on phosphorylase kinase that are phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase were extended. The sequences of 42 amino acids around the phosphorylation site on the alpha-subunit and of 14 amino acids around the phosphorylation site on the beta-subunit were shown to be: alpha-subunit Phe-Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser-Glx-Pro-Asx-Gly-Gly-His-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ala-Asp-Leu-Met-Ser-Pro-Ser-Phe-Leu-Ser-Pro-Gly-Thr-Ser-Val-Phe(Ser,Pro,Gly)His-Thr-Ser-Lys; beta-subunit, Ala-Arg-Thr-Lys-Arg-Ser-Gly-Ser(P)-VALIle-Tyr-Glu-Pro-Leu-Lys. The sites on histone H2B which are phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro were identified as serine-36 and serine-32. The amino acid sequence in this region is: Lys-Lys-Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32(P)-Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36(P)-Tyr-Ser-Val-Tyr-Val- [Iwai, K., Ishikawa, K. & Hayashi, H. (1970) Nature (London) 226, 1056-1058]. Serine-36 was phosphorylated at 50% of the rate at which the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase was phosphorylated, and it was phosphorylated 6-7-fold more rapidly than was serine-32. The amino acid sequences when compared with those at the phosphorylation sites of other physiological substrates suggest that the presence of two adjacent basic amino acids on the N-terminal side of the susceptible serine residue may be critical for specific substrate recognition in vivo.

A thermostable inhibition of ATP-protein phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.37) (protein kinase) which is present in crude tissue extracts has been resolved by gel chromatography (Sephadex G-100) into two molecular forms. These two forms will be referred to as type I and type II inhibitor. The type I inhibitor (Mr approximately or equal to 24,000) is specific for cAMP-dependent protein kinase and corresponds to the inhibitor described earlier (Walsh, D. A., Ashby, C. D., Gonzalez, C., Calkins, D., Fisher, E. H., and Krebs, E. G. (1971) J. Biol. Chem. 246, 1977-1985). The type II inhibitor (Mr approximately or equal to 15,000) competes for the enzyme with various substrate proteins (histone, alpha-casein, and Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly (kemptide). The type II inhibitor blocks protein phosphorylation catalyzed by several types of protein kinases (cAMP- and cGMP-dependent or cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinases). The type II inhibitor from rat brain has been purified 1500-fold; this protein is thermostable, has acidic characteristics, and does not require Ca2+ ions for its activity. Different ratios and concentrations of type I and type II inhibitors of protein kinase are found in rat skeletal muscle, pancreas, cerebellum and corpus striatum, and in lobster tail muscle.

The species of proteins associated with chromatin and ribosomes of simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed and untransformed monkey, mouse, and rat cells have been compared by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after phosphorylation of these proteins either in vivo or in vitro. In vitro phosphorylation was carried out by protein kinase associated with these organelles and [gamma-(32) P]ATP as the phosphoryl donor. The reaction products contained both phosphoserine and phosphothreonine in approximately equal amounts. The electrophoretic analysis of the phosphorylated proteins revealed that the highly phosphorylated protein with a molecular weight of approximately 90,000 (90K protein) was associated with chromatin and ribosomes from transformed cells but not from untransformed cells. The 90K protein could be extracted from chromatin and ribosomes with 0.5 to 1.0 M NaCl or KCl. The 90K protein was still associated with the runoff ribosomes prepared by the puromycin reaction of the post-mitochondrial supernatant in the protein-synthesizing system. In vitro phosphorylation of chromatin and ribosomes from SV40 tsA-transformed mouse and rat cells indicated that the amounts of 90K protein associated with these organelles decreased greatly when the cells were cultivated at the restrictive temperature. A similar temperature-dependent decrease in the amount of (32)P-labeled 90K protein was observed in nonhistone chromosomal and ribosome-associated protein fractions prepared from SV40 tsA-transformed cells labeled with [(3)H]leucine and [(32)P]orthophosphate in vivo. In vitro phosphorylated 90K protein in nonhistone chromosomal and ribosome-associated proteins extracted with high salt was not immunoprecipitated with anti-SV40 T sera.

Synthetic polypeptides were employed as substrates in kinetic analyses of the reaction mechanism for the catalytic subunit of a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) from calf thymus. This enzyme preparation was shown to catalyze the transfer of phosphate from ATP to histone H1 from calf thymus, as well as to two synthetic polypeptides, Arg-Lys-Ala-Ser-Gly-Pro (H1-6) and Arg-Arg-Lys-Ala-Ser-Gly-Pro (H1-7), corresponding to the amino acid sequence about serine-38 in calf H1. A related, basic heptapeptide corresponding to a sequence from pig liver pyruvate kinase, Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly (K), was also a substrate. The stoichiometry of peptide phosphorylation was established in each case as the transfer of 1 mol of phosphate from the gamma position of MgATP to the serine hydroxyl of 1 mol of the peptide. Steady-state, initial-velocity, kinetic parameters were determined for each substrate, using various concentrations of ATP. Under the conditions used, all synthetic peptides reacted with greater maximum velocities than whole histone H1. Nevertheless, the K(m) for H1, 54 muM, was lower than the K(m) values of the synthetic substrates. The most efficient substrate was peptide K, which had a V(max) of 50.6 mumol/min per mg of kinase and a K(m) of 63 muM. In the absence of peptide substrate no ATPase activity was detectable at a sensitivity of 0.05% of the rate of peptide phosphorylation, suggesting that ATP is not cleaved to form an unstable phosphoenzyme complex. The data are consistent with a sequential reaction mechanism involving a ternary complex between enzyme, polypeptide substrate, and ATP.

Phase contrast microscopy of cultured embryonic heart cells showed the beating frequency decreased more rapidly and the regularity the rhythm of of the beating cells was lost sooner in heart cells from cardiomyopathic hamsters than from the control hamsters. Studies of cultured heart cells by differential interference contrast (with Nomarski's prism) and by electron microscopy revealed a significant impediment in the maturation of the sarcomeric units in the diseased animals compared to controls. The incorporation of [14C] leucine into acid-insoluble fractions was studied, and no significant difference in incorporation between the two groups was found. An analysis of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the possible existence of a quantitative difference in one of the composing proteins of the erythrocyte membrane between the two groups. The protein kinase activity of ghosts from the control group was more sensitive to cAMP than that from the diseased animals. In addition, the binding of [3H] cAMP to the ghost was almost identical between the two. The morphological and biochemical observations lead one to the plausible supposition that there are some differences in the interaction of the so-called catalytic and regulatory subunits between the two groups and that there is an impairment of the higher arrangement of myofibrils from their building blocks in the diseased hamster. The significance of the existence of abundant corpuscles resembling neurosecretory granules was not established by this study. They may have an etiological significance or they may be related to a disturbed function in the cultured cells of the cardiomyopathic hamster.

A model synthetic peptide substrate of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.1.37), Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly, closely resembling the local phosphorylation site sequence in porcine hepatic pyruvate kinase, was shown to be phosphorylated in vivo after microinjection into Xenopus oocytes. This result demonstrates that the microinjection technique, utilizing a synthetic peptide substrate, or possibly a synthetic substrate analog inhibitor [Kemp, B. E., Benjamini, E. & Krebs, E. G. (1976) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 73, 1038--1042], can be used to study protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation reactions in living oocytes. This follows, since it is clear that the injected peptide was accessible to the cellular compartment containing the protein kinase.

A peptide containing 2 seryl residues, (1)Leu(2)Ser(3)Tyr(4)Arg(5)Aly(6)Tyr(7)Ser(8)Leu, was chemically synthesized and used as a substrate for phosphorylase kinase and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The sequence, TryArgGlyTyr, makes up a beta turn in the native protein. Phosphorylase kinase was found to phosphorylate specifically seryl residue2 and protein kinase seryl residue7. Km and Vmax values were obtained and compared with natural substrates. The differences in the specificity of the two enzymes might be explained by a different requirement for organized structure. As a working hypothesis, it is suggested the results could be explained if the two enzymes interacted with seryl residues at different sides of a beta turn.

Analogues of the synthetic substrate Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly in which the serine is replaced by other amino acids inhibited the activity of the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from beef skeletal muscle (Peak I). All of the analogues were competitive with respect to peptide substrate but apparent Ki values varied depending on the particular amino acid that was substituted for serine. Inhibition was also competitive with respect to mixed histone as determined in experiments utilizing one of the analogues. Acetylation of the terminal amino group of Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly lowered the Km for this substrate from 16 micrometer to 3 micrometer, but a similar modification of the inhibitory analogue Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ala-Leu-Gly resulted in no major change in the Ki value. An amount of inhibitory peptide sufficient to inhibit the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase by 90% caused less than 10% inhibition of several cyclic AMP-independent protein kinases indicating a high degree of specificity of inhibition by the peptide analogues. The experiments show that synthetic peptide analogues could be useful in identifying phosphorylation reactions catalyzed by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase as distinguished from other protein kinase reactions.
