Extracellular ATP elicits transient elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in osteoblasts through interaction with more than one subtype of cell surface P2-purinoceptor. Elevation of [Ca2+]i arises, at least in part, by release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. In the present study, we investigated the possible roles of protein kinase C (PKC) in regulating these signaling pathways. [Ca2+]i of indo-1-loaded UMR-106 osteoblastic cells was monitored by spectrofluorimetry. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, ATP (100 microM) induced transient elevation of [Ca2+]i to a peak 57 +/- 7 nM above basal levels (31 +/- 2 nM, means +/- S.E.M., n = 25). Exposure of cells to the PKC activator 12-O-tetradecanoyl-beta-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA, 100 nM) for 2 min significantly reduced the amplitude of the ATP response to 13 +/- 4 nM (n = 11), without altering basal [Ca2+]i. Inhibition was half-maximal at approximately 1 nM TPA. The Ca2+ response to ATP was also inhibited by the PKC activators 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol or 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, but not by the control compounds 4 alpha-phorbol or 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate. Furthermore, exposure of cells to the protein kinase inhibitors H-7 or staurosporine for 10 min significantly attenuated the inhibitory effect of TPA. However, these protein kinase inhibitors did not prolong the [Ca2+]i response to ATP alone, indicating that activation of PKC does not account for the transient nature of this response. When the effects of other nucleotides were examined, TPA was found to cause significantly greater inhibition of the response to the P2Y-receptor agonists, ADP and 2-methylthioATP, than the response to the P2U-receptor agonist, UTP. These data indicate that activation of PKC selectively inhibits the P2Y signaling pathway in osteoblastic cells. In vivo, endocrine or paracrine factors, acting through PKC, may regulate the responsiveness of osteoblasts to extracellular nucleotides.

We have examined phosphorylation of the rat liver glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and GR-associated protein kinase (PK) activity in the immunopurified receptor preparations. Affinity labeling of hepatic cytosol with [3H]dexamethasone 21-mesylate showed a covalent association of the steroid with a 94 kDa protein. GR was immunopurified with antireceptor monoclonal antibody BuGR2 (Gametchu & Harrison, Endocrinology 114: 274-279, 1984) to near homogeneity. A 23 degrees C incubation of the immunoprecipitated protein A-Sepharose adsorbed GR with [gamma-32P]ATP,Mg2+ and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent PK (cAMP-PK) from bovine heart, led to an incorporation of radioactivity in the 94 kDa protein. Phosphorylation of GR was not evident in the absence of the added kinase. Of the radioinert nucleotides (ATP, GTP, UTP or CTP) tested, only ATP successfully competed with [gamma-32P]ATP demonstrating a nucleotide specific requirement for the phosphorylation of GR. Other divalent cations, such as Mn2+ or Ca2+, could not be substituted for Mg2+ during the phosphorylation reaction. Phosphorylation of GR was sensitive to the presence of the protein kinase inhibitor, H-8, an isoquinoline sulfonamide derivative. In addition, the incorporation of radioactivity into GR was both time- and temperature-dependent. The phosphorylation of GR by cAMP-PK was independent of the presence of hsp-90 and transformation state of the receptor. The results of this study demonstrate that GR is an effective substrate for action of cAMP-PK and that the immunopurified protein A-Sepharose adsorbed GR lacks intrinsic kinase activity but can be conveniently used for the characterization of the phosphorylation reaction in the presence of an exogenous kinase.

ADP evoked outwardly rectifying potassium currents with a latency of 0.6 s in cultured rat medullar neurons. Purinoceptor agonists, such as 2-methylthio ATP (2-MeSATP), ATP, AMP, alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-MeATP), and UTP, produced similar outward currents with the order of their potencies for current amplitudes: 2-MeSATP > ADP > ATP > or = alpha,beta-MeATP > or = AMP > UTP. This order corresponds to that for a subtype of P2Y purinoceptors. ADP-evoked currents were fully blocked by a broad G-protein inhibitor, guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S), whereas a G(i)/G(o)-protein inhibitor, pertussis toxin (PTX) had no effect. The currents were not affected by a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, neomycin. Furthermore, a selective protein kinase C inhibitor, GF109203X or a selective cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor, H-89 showed no effect on the currents. These results suggest that ADP activates the potassium channel via a P2Y purinoceptor linked to a PTX-insensitive G-protein and its channel regulation may be due to a direct action of the G-protein beta gamma subunits regardless of second messenger signaling cascades. Additionally, ADP enhanced intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) both in the presence and absence of extracellular calcium, and this [Ca2+]i increase was not inhibited by neomycin. This provides an additional evidence that ADP binds to a subtype of P2Y purinoceptors, which is not involved in PLC stimulation.

The mitogenic effect of extracellular ATP was examined in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). ATP, 2-methylthio-ATP, and ADP stimulated [3H]thymidine and [3H]leucine incorporation and cell growth. AMP, adenosine, UTP, and P2x agonists showed little of these effects. Reactive blue 2, a P2Y purinoceptor antagonist, was effective in suppressing the mitogenic effect of ATP and 2-methylthio-ATP, indicating that extracellular ATP-induced VSMC proliferation is mediated by P2Y purinoceptors. The P2Y purinoceptor activation was coupled to a pertussis toxin (PTX)-insensitive G protein (Gq) and triggered phosphoinositide hydrolysis with subsequent activation of protein kinase C (PKC), Raf-1, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in VSMCs. In response to ATP, both 42-and 44-kDa MAPKs were activated, and tyrosine was phosphorylated. Western blot analysis using PKC isozyme-specific antibodies indicated that VSMCs express PKC-alpha, PKC-delta, and PKC-zeta. A complete down-regulation of PKC-alpha and PKC-delta was seen after 24-hr treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. When cells were pretreated with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate for 24 hr and subsequently challenged with ATP, Raf-1 activation and 42-kDa as well as 44-kDa MAPK tyrosine phosphorylation failed to be induced. These results demonstrate that ATP-induced Raf-1 and MAPK activations involve the activation of PKC-alpha and PKC-delta. P2Y purinoceptor stimulation with ATP also caused accumulation of c-fos and c-myc mRNAs. Both Reactive blue 2 and staurosporine significantly blocked this increase by ATP. In conclusion, the mitogenic effect of ATP seemed to be triggered by activation of the Gq protein-coupled P2Y purinoceptor that led to the formation of inositol trisphosphate and activation of PKC. PKC and, in turn, Raf-1 and MAPK were then activated, leading eventually to DNA synthesis and cell proliferation.

The phosphorylation and regulation of the URA7-encoded CTP synthetase (EC 6.3.4.2, UTP:ammonia ligase (ADP-forming)) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) were examined. Protein kinase A is the principal mediator of signals transmitted through the RAS/cAMP pathway in S. cerevisiae. The results of labeling experiments indicated that the phosphorylation of CTP synthetase was mediated by the RAS/cAMP pathway in vivo. In vitro, protein kinase A phosphorylated CTP synthetase at a serine residue with a stoichiometry consistent with one phosphorylation site per CTP synthetase subunit. Protein kinase A activity was dose- and time-dependent using CTP synthetase as a substrate. The dependence of protein kinase A activity on CTP synthetase was cooperative (n = 1.8) and the Km value for CTP synthetase was 73 nM. Phosphorylation of CTP synthetase with protein kinase A resulted in the stimulation (190%) of activity. The mechanism of this stimulation included an increase in the Vmax of the reaction with respect to UTP and ATP, a decrease in the Km for ATP, and a decrease in the cooperative kinetic behavior of the enzyme. Phosphorylated CTP synthetase was less sensitive to product inhibition by CTP. Protein kinase C also phosphorylates and activates CTP synthetase. Phosphorylation of CTP synthetase with protein kinases A and C together resulted in an increase in CTP synthetase activity that was slightly greater than that obtained when the enzyme was phosphorylated with either protein kinase alone.

This study shows that the incorporation of radiolabelled UTP into RNA in Percoll-gadient-purified potato mitochondria is regulated by the redox state of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. An early indication that there might be a redox effect on RNA synthesis was a decrease in UTP incorporation in incubates containing an oxidisable substrate, such as succinate or malate. Subsequent use of a variety of electron transport inhibitors acting at different points in the electron transport chain established that the redox state of the Rieske iron-sulphur protein was the major determinant of UTP incorporation. Inhibitors acting on the substrate side of the Rieske iron-sulphur protein, and causing oxidation of components on the oxygen side of their site of action, increased UTP incorporation into RNA. These included antimycin A, myxothiazole, and undecylhydroxydioxobenzothiazole at 500 nM. Inhibitors acting on the oxygen side of the Rieske iron-sulphur protein, and causing a reduction of components on the substrate side of the block, decreased UTP incorporation. These inhibitors were undecylhydroxydioxobenzothiazole at 25 nM and KCN. When phenazine methosulphate was present as an auto-oxidisable electron sink the effect of KCN was diminished. The conclusion from the inhibitor experiments that the redox state of the Rieske iron-suphur protein was important was supported when RNA synthesis was measured at a range of redox potentials. This gave a measured redox potential for the control of UTP incorporation into RNA of +270 mV and the slope of the curve indicated an n = 1 carrier. This value is close to the reported value of the Rieske iron-suphur protein. UTP incorporation was decreased by some 50% in the presence of low concentrations of okadaic acid (5 nM), an inhibitor of protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A, and alpha-naphthyl acid phosphate, a broad-spectrum phosphatase inhibitor, indicating that the redox effect on RNA synthesis may be mediated via protein phosphorylation. We did not, however, detect an expected increase in RNA synthesis when protein kinase inhibitors were used, so the involvement of protein phosphorylation in the redox regulation of RNA synthesis is as yet uncertain.

Extracellular ATP and ATP gamma S (1-1000 microM) stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) production in undifferentiated HL-60 cells. The potency order for adenine nucleotides and adenosine was ATP gamma S > ATP > > ADP > 3 AMP = Adenosine. Indomethacin (50 microM) had no effect on ATP-induced cAMP production. ATP and ATP gamma S also suppressed cell growth and induced differentiation as revealed by fMLP-stimulated beta-glucuronidase release 48 h after exposure. The potency order for the induction of fMLP-stimulated beta-glucuronidase release by adenine nucleotides and adenosine was ATP gamma S > 3 ATP > ADP > AMP = Adenosine approximately 0. The protein kinase A inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cAMPS (10-200 mM) suppressed ATP-induced differentiation but had no effect on ATP-dependent growth suppression. UTP which, like ATP, activates P2U receptors on HL-60 cells, had no effect on cAMP production, cell growth, or differentiation. The data suggest the existence of a novel receptor for ATP on undifferentiated HL-60 cells that is coupled to the activation of adenylate cyclase and cAMP-dependent differentiation.

Enzymatic production of cytidine diphosphate choline (CDP-choline) using orotic acid and choline chloride as substrates was investigated using a 200-ml beaker as a reaction vessel. When Cornybacterium ammoniagenes KY13505 cells were used as the enzyme source, UMP was accumulated up to 28.6 g/liter (77.6 mM) from orotic acid after 26 h of reaction. In this reaction, UDP and UTP were also accumulated, but CTP, a direct precursor of CDP-choline, was not accumulated sufficiently. Escherichia coli JF646/pMW6 cells, which overproduce CTP synthetase by selfcloning of the pyrG gene, were used together with cells of KY12505 for the enzymatic reaction using orotic acid as a substrate. CTP was produced at 8.95 g/liter (15.1 mM) after 23 h of this reaction. To produce CDP-choline, two additional enzyme activities were needed. E. coli MM294/pUCK3 and MM294/pCC41 cells, which express a choline kinase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CKIase; encoded by the CKI gene) and a cholinephosphate cytidylyltransferase from S. cerevisiae (CCTase; encoded by the CCT gene) respectively, were added to this CTP-producing reaction system. After 23 h of the reaction using orotic acid and choline chloride as substrates, 7.7 g/liter (15.1 mM) of CDP-choline was accumulated without addition of ATP or phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP). ATP and PRPP required in the CDP-choline forming reaction system are biosynthesized by those cells using glucose as a substrate.

Ser1406 of the allosteric region of the hamster CAD enzyme, carbamyl phosphate synthetase II (CPSase), is known to be phosphorylated in vitro by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Metabolic labeling experiments described here demonstrate that CAD is phosphorylated in somatic cells in culture. Phosphorylation is stimulated by treating cells with 8-bromo-cAMP, a PKA activator. The stimulation is essentially prevented by pretreatment with H-89, a PKA specific inhibitor. Substitution of Ser1406 with alanine results in an enzyme with kinetics and allosteric regulation indistinguishable from unsubstituted CAD. However, substitution to glutamic acid increases CPSase activity by reducing the apparent Km (ATP). The UTP concentration required to give 50% inhibition is increased rendering this altered enzyme significantly less sensitive to feedback inhibition, but allosteric activation by PRPP is unaffected. While these data do not prove that Ser1406 is phosphorylated in vivo, they do indicate that a specific alteration at this residue can affect allosteric regulation.

Extracellular ATP and ATPgammaS (1-1000 microM) stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) production in undifferentiated HL-60 cells. The potency order for adenine nucleotides and adenosine was ATPgammaS > ATP >> ADP > or = AMP = Adenosine. Indomethacin (50 microM) had no effect on ATP-induced cAMP production. ATP and ATPgammaS also suppressed cell growth and induced differentiation as revealed by fMLP-stimulated beta-glucuronidase release 48 h after exposure. The potency order for the induction of fMLP-stimulated beta-glucuronidase release by adenine nucleotides and adenosine was ATPgammaS > or = ATP > ADP > AMP = Adenosine approximately 0. The protein kinase A inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cAMPS (10-200 microM) suppressed ATP-induced differentiation but had no effect on ATP-dependent growth suppression. UTP which, like ATP, activates P2U receptors on HL-60 cells, had no effect on cAMP production, cell growth, or differentiation. The data suggest the existence of a novel receptor for ATP on undifferentiated HL-60 cells that is coupled to the activation of adenylate cyclase and cAMP-dependent differentiation.
