We have recently reported that the light-induced changes in the enzymatic and regulatory properties of maize leaf phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase are attributed to the regulatory seryl phosphorylation of this C4-photosynthesis enzyme. In the present study, the darkform target enzyme was phosphorylated/activated in vitro by a maize leaf protein-serine kinase, and the 32P-labeled regulatory site phosphopeptide was purified from a tryptic digest by metal-ion affinity and reversed-phase chromatography. Automated Edman degradation analysis by covalent protein sequencing technology revealed that the amino acid sequence of this phosphoseryl peptide is His-His-Ser(P)-Ile-Asp-Ala-Gln-Leu-Arg. This nonapeptide, which corresponds exactly to residues 13-21 in the deduced primary sequence of the maize leaf carboxylase, is far removed from recently identified active-site cysteine (Cys-553) and lysine (Lys-606) residues in the C-terminal region of the primary structure. Comparative analysis of the deduced N-terminal sequences of C3-, C4-, and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)-leaf phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylases suggests that the motif of Lys/Arg-X-X-Ser is an important structural requirement of the C4- and CAM-leaf protein-serine kinases.

In the Triton X-100-treated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), which were stimulated with formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP) for 1 min, a 64,000 molecular weight protein (p64) was preferentially phosphorylated by the incubation with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of Mg2+, but not in the presence of Ca2+. Phosphoamino acid analysis of pp64 revealed that the p64-kinase was a serine-specific protein kinase. The p64 was maximally phosphorylated in the first minute, suggesting that the rapid phosphorylation was related to the initial reaction for activation of the FMLP-stimulated PMN functions. The FMLP-stimulated phosphorylation of p64 was slightly inhibited by the addition of cGMP in the reaction mixture. However, addition of cAMP, the cyclic nucleotide-dependent kinase inhibitor (H-8), protein kinase C-inhibitor (H-7) or Ca/calmodulin-dependent kinase inhibitor (W-7), showed no effect on the phosphorylation. These data suggest that phosphorylation of p64 seems to be a novel protein kinase specific to p64.

A purified bovine lung cGMP-binding cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase (cG-BPDE) was rapidly phosphorylated by purified bovine lung cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK). Within a physiological concentration range, cGK catalyzed phosphorylation of cG-BPDE at a rate approximately 10 times greater than did equimolar concentrations of purified catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAK). cG-BPDE was a poor substrate for either purified protein kinase C or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Binding of cGMP to the cG-BPDE binding site was required for phosphorylation since (a) phosphorylation of cG-BPDE by the catalytic subunit of cAK was cGMP-dependent, (b) phosphorylation of cG-BPDE in the presence of a cGMP analog specific for activation of cGK was cGMP-dependent, and (c) occupation of the cG-BPDE hydrolytic site with competitive inhibitors did not produce the cGMP-dependent effect. cGMP-dependent phosphorylation of cG-BPDE by both cGK and cAK occurred at serine. Proteolytic digestion of cG-BPDE phosphorylated by either cGK or cAK revealed the same phosphopeptide pattern, suggesting that phosphorylation by the two kinases occurred at the same or adjacent site(s). Tryptic digestion of cG-BPDE phosphorylated by cGK and [gamma-32P]ATP produced a single major phosphopeptide of approximately 2 kDa with the following amino-terminal sequence: Lys-Ile-Ser-Ala-Ser-Glu-Phe-Asp-Arg-Pro-Leu-Arg- Radioactivity was released during the third cycle of Edman degradation. cG-BPDE is one of few specific in vitro cGK substrates of known function to be identified. Elevation of intracellular cGMP may cause phosphorylation of cG-BPDE by modulating the substrate site availability as well as by activating cGK. Such regulation would greatly increase the selectivity of the phosphorylation of cG-BPDE and would represent a unique mechanism of action of a cyclic nucleotide or other second messenger.

Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) is a potent activator of Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC) and was used to study the involvement of this kinase in human polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) locomotion. Preincubation of PMNs with low concentrations of PMA (4 to 64 x 10(-11) M) had the following effects: (1) fMet-Leu-Phe-induced migration under agarose was increased when the chemoattractant was used at the suboptimal concentration of 10(-8)M and not at the optimal concentration of 10(-7)M; (2) no effect on spontaneous or serum- or LTB4- induced migration at either suboptimal or optimal concentrations; (3) PMA enhanced fMet-Leu-Phe-induced migration, increasing the speed of locomotion but not affecting shape changes induced by fMet-Leu-Phe; (4) the number of fMet-Leu-Phe-specific receptors expressed on the PMN membrane was not altered. Intermediate concentrations of PMA (1.6 to 4.0 x 10(-9) M) had no effect on PMN migration, whereas higher concentrations (4.0 to 16 x 10(-9) M) reduced both spontaneous and fMet-Leu-Phe-, serum-, or LTB4-induced migration in a dose-dependent manner. Effects observed with low concentrations of PMA were not associated with a translocation of cytosolic PKC even when preincubation with PMA was followed by fMet-Leu-Phe stimulation. In contrast, effects observed with higher concentrations of PMA paralleled the decrease in cytosolic PKC activity.

Neutrophils exhibit an intense phosphorylation of a 47 kDa protein and release large quantities of superoxide (O2-) upon stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP). Antagonists of protein kinases (e.g., 200 microM 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7); 15 nM staurosporine) inhibited these phenomena when the stimulus was PMA (Badwey, J.A. et al. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 14947-14953). In this paper, we now report that while neutrophils treated with 15 nM staurosporine and PMA release little O2-, cells in the presence of these compounds can be stimulated to release near normal quantities of O2- by the subsequent addition of fMLP. Surprisingly, staurosporine (15 nM) reduced the incorporation of 32P into the 47 kDa protein in fMLP stimulated cells at least as effectively as H-7, yet, while the staurosporine treated cells released substantial amounts of O2-, the cells treated with H-7 did not. These data suggest that a stimulatory pathway exists in neutrophils that contains a protein kinase 'distinct' from that which is activated when PMA is the stimulus and that this pathway may enable the O2- producing system to become functional with little or no phosphorylation of the 47 kDa protein. They further suggest that the steps which are sensitive to H-7 in the signal-transduction pathways utilized by PMA and fMLP may be different.

Multifunctional protein kinase (MFPK) phosphorylates ATP-citrate lyase on peptide B on two sites, BT and BS, on threonine and serine, respectively, inhibitor 2 on a threonyl residue, and glycogen synthase at sites 2 and 3. The phosphorylation sites BT and BS of ATP-citrate lyase are dependent on prior phosphorylation at site A whereas site A phosphorylation is decreased by prior phosphorylation at sites BT and BS. To study the MFPK recognition sites and the site-site interactions, the amino acid sequences of ATP-citrate lyase peptide B and inhibitor 2 were determined and compared to each other and to glycogen synthase sites 3-5. The sequence of the tryptic peptide containing the two phosphorylation sites of peptide B is -Phe-Leu-Leu-Asn-Ala-Ser-Gly-Ser-Thr-Ser-Thr(P)-Pro-Ala-Pro-Ser(P)-Arg-, and the sequence of the MFPK phosphorylation site of inhibitor 2 is -Ile-Asp-Glu-Pro-Ser-Thr(P)-Pro-Tyr-. This inhibitor 2 site is identical with the site phosphorylated by glycogen synthase kinase 3/FA. These results suggest that at least some of the sites phosphorylated by MFPK (BT of ATP-citrate lyase, Thr 72 of inhibitor 2, and sites 3b and 4 of glycogen synthase) contain a Ser/Thr flanked by a carboxyl-terminal proline. However, as MFPK did not phosphorylate a series of peptides containing the -X-Thr/Ser-Pro-X- sequence, this minimum consensus sequence is not sufficient for phosphorylation by MFPK.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A peptide affinity inactivator, Ac-Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-(BrAc)Orn-Leu-Gly, was used as a tool to probe for active site residues in the catalytic subunit of bovine cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The peptide inactivated the catalytic subunit in an active site-directed and monophasic manner with a first-order rate constant of 0.03 min-1 and a dissociation constant of 675 microM. Studies with radioactive peptide indicated that approximately one equivalent of peptide was incorporated into each protein molecule. Protein sequencing identified the modified residue as Cys-199. A possible location for Cys-199 within the active site is suggested.

The proteolytically activated form of protein kinase C has been identified in human neutrophils by using a monoclonal antibody that recognizes both the native kinase and the catalytically active proteolytic fragment (protein kinase M). Stimulation with fMet-Leu-Phe results in the conversion of approximately 30% of native protein kinase C to protein kinase M, with little evidence of further degradation. Stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, on the other hand, causes only a transient formation of protein kinase M, with complete loss of total kinase activity. These differences are related to the differences in biochemical responses, reported earlier, in neutrophils exposed to these two activators.

In this study we analyzed the ability of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from hemophilic patients (He) with negative or positive serology for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), to increase natural killer (NK) cytotoxicity upon stimulation with physiological and non physiological agents. Purified interleukin-2 (IL-2), the interferon (IFN)-inducer polyinosinic polycytidylic acid (PIC), recombinant alpha- and gamma-IFN and the protein kinase activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) were used as stimulatory agents. The NK functional response was correlated with the presence of PBMC bearing phenotypic markers of activated cells (IL-2 receptor, IL-2R) and of different NK cell maturation stages. Our results demonstrate that NK effector cells with slight lytic activity (Leu 7+ CD16-) predominated in HIV+ He patients. On the other hand the occurrence of IL-2R positive cells was similarly high in both HIV+ and HIV- individuals and was probably more related to chronic replacement treatment with Factor VIII or Factor IX concentrates than to HIV infection. The ability to respond to physiological NK regulators such as IL-2 and IFNs, or to the IFN-inducer PIC was impaired in HIV+ He, especially in HIV+ LAS individuals, suggesting that the inability of these cells to increase NK cell activity after appropriate induction was due to an intrinsic defect. Since phosphoinositide turnover and subsequent protein kinase C activation are thought to be part of the physiological mechanism of NK cytotoxicity, we studied the effect of PMA on PBMC from each group of patients. The ability to respond to PMA was lost only in PBMC from HIV+ LAS patients, indicating that impairment of the NK lytic mechanism progresses as the disease gets worse.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We previously described a novel insulin-stimulated protein kinase activity that phosphorylates Kemptide (Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly) in cytosolic extracts of adipocytes (Yu, K-T., Khalaf, N., and Czech, M. P. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 16677-16685). In the present experiments, cytosolic extracts of livers from insulin-treated rats also exhibited a 30-100% increase in this Kemptide kinase activity and served as an abundant source for purification. The Kemptide kinase was purified in parallel from liver extracts of insulin-treated or control rats through five chromatographic steps and one polyethylene glycol precipitation. The chromatographic behavior of the insulin-stimulated Kemptide kinase differed significantly from the control kinase on Mono Q and heparin-Sepharose resins. The purified kinase preparations retain insulin stimulations of 2-10-fold. Analysis of the purified control and insulin-stimulated kinases by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed single bands with similar silver staining intensity and apparent molecular masses of 52 kDa. The insulin-stimulated Kemptide phosphorylating activity also coincided with the major silver-stained band following isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels. The stimulation of kinase activity in response to administration of insulin is due to an increase in Vmax, whereas the Km for Kemptide (0.3 mM) is unchanged. The apparent molecular mass of the native kinase determined by gel filtration is approximately 50 kDa, suggesting that it exists as a monomer. Either Mg2+ or Mn2+ serve as cofactors for the kinase which phosphorylates a variety of basic substrates including a number of peptides and histones. The activity of the Kemptide kinase is not changed by several compounds that have been shown to modulate other kinases. Based on these data, we conclude 1) a novel insulin-sensitive Kemptide kinase in liver cytosol has been purified to near homogeneity, and 2) insulin administration acutely modulates the specific activity of this Kemptide kinase in livers of intact rats.
