The genes encoding the regulatory subunits RI beta (locus PRKAR1B) and RII beta (locus PRKAR2B) of human cAMP-dependent protein kinase have been mapped in the basic CEPH (Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain) family panel of 40 families to chromosome 7p and 7q, respectively, using the enzymes HindIII and BanII recognizing the corresponding restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Previous data from the CEPH database and our present RFLP data were used to construct a six-point local framework map including PRKAR1B and a seven-point framework map including PRKAR2B. The analysis placed PRKAR1B as the most distal of the hitherto mapped 7p marker loci and resulted in an unequivocal order of pter-PRKAR1B-D7S21-D7S108-D7S17-D7S149- D7S62-cen, with a significantly higher rate of male than female recombination between PRKAR1B and D7S21. The 7q regulatory gene locus, PRKAR2B, could also be placed in an unambigous order with regard to the existing CEPH database 7q marker loci, the resulting order being cen-D7S371-(COL1A2,D7S79)-PRKAR2B-MET-D7S87++ +-TCRB-qter. Furthermore, in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes physically mapped PRKAR2B to band q22 on chromosome 7.

A cDNA clone coding for rice elongation factor 1 beta' (EF-1 beta') was isolated from a rice anther cDNA library. The clone, named RB', was 980 bp long and contained a single open reading frame coding for 223 amino acids; the first 31 amino acids, except for the first methionine, which is absent in the mature protein, are identical to those of the purified protein determined with a protein sequencer. The amino acid sequence of rice EF-1 beta' shows homology to the C-terminal half of Artemia salina EF-1 beta (59%) and human EF-1 beta (63%), but might not have a phosphorylation site for casein kinase II which has been conserved in Artemia saline EF-1 beta and EF-1 delta, human EF-1 beta and silkworm EF-1 beta'.

The phytochrome gene (phyCer) of the moss Ceratodon purpureus was isolated and characterized. phyCer is composed of three coding exons: exon I of 2035 bp, exon II of 300 bp and exon III of 1574 bp. The deduced polypeptide encoded by exon I and II exhibits substantial sequence homology to the conserved NH2-terminal chromophore domain of known phytochromes. In contrast, the COOH-terminal polypeptide encoded by exon III shows no sequence homology to any phytochrome molecule. phyCer most likely represents a single-copy gene and is expressed in a light-independent manner. From the DNA sequence analysis it can be deduced that the PhyCer polypeptide is composed of 1303 amino acids (including the starting Met) which predicts a molecular mass for PhyCer of 145 kDa. The polypeptide encoded in exon III exhibits striking homology within the 300 carboxy-terminal amino acids to the catalytic domain of protein kinases. The carboxy terminus of PhyCer was found to be most homologous to protein-tyrosine kinases of Dictyostelium discoideum and to the products of retroviral oncogenes which belong to the Raf-Mos serine/threonine kinase family. From the hydropathy profile PhyCer appears to be a soluble protein. The predicted structure suggests that PhyCer represents a soluble light-sensor protein kinase which is linked with a cellular phosphorylating cascade.

Studies on sphingomyelin metabolism in rat hepatocytes were facilitated by the use of choline-deficient cells which allowed for the rapid labeling of phosphatidylcholine and as a result sphingomyelin. Pulse and pulse-chase studies with [methyl-3H]choline and [methyl-3H]methionine demonstrated that both compounds were effectively used for sphingomyelin biosynthesis and that newly made and pre-existing phosphatidylcholine could be used for sphingomyelin biosynthesis. When hepatocytes were incubated with brefeldin A, there was a 2.4-fold stimulation of the conversion of phosphatidylcholine into sphingomyelin. Since brefeldin A causes collapse of the cis/medial Golgi into the endoplasmic reticulum the stimulation of sphingomyelin biosynthesis could be due to more rapid access of the labeled phosphatidylcholine in the endoplasmic reticulum to sphingomyelin synthase in the collapsed Golgi. Forskolin inhibited the brefeldin A-induced stimulation of sphingomyelin biosynthesis. To investigate whether or not phosphorylation reactions regulate sphingomyelin metabolism, hepatocytes were incubated with okadaic acid, a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. Rather than stimulating sphingomyelin biosynthesis, okadaic acid enhanced the catabolism of sphingomyelin. In contrast, a cyclic AMP analogue and forskolin had no effect on sphingomyelin biosynthesis or catabolism. Surprisingly, other pulse-chase studies demonstrated that okadaic acid stimulated the catabolism of only newly made sphingomyelin. The brefeldin A and okadaic acid effects were independent of lysosomal involvement. Subcellular fractionation studies revealed that brefeldin A and okadaic acid effects were generalized in all sphingomyelin containing membranes. The brefeldin A studies suggest that the rate of transfer of phosphatidylcholine from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi might be limiting for sphingomyelin biosynthesis. The okadaic acid studies indicate that the catabolism of sphingomyelin by a sphingomyelinase is regulated by an unidentified protein kinase and by either protein phosphatase 1 and/or 2A activity in hepatocytes.

Previous work (Gandino, L., Di Renzo, M. F., Giordano, S., Bussolino, F., and Comoglio, P.M. (1990) Oncogene 5, 721-725) has shown that the tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor encoded by the MET protooncogene is negatively modulated by protein kinase C (PKC). We now show that an increase of intracellular Ca2+ has a similar inhibitory effect in vivo, via a PKC-independent mechanism. In GTL-16 cells the p145MET kinase is overexpressed and constitutively phosphorylated on tyrosine. A rapid and reversible decrease of p145MET tyrosine phosphorylation was induced by treatment with the calcium ionophores A23187 or ionomycin. Experiments performed with the ionophores in absence of extracellular calcium showed that a rise in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration to 450 nM (due to release from intracellular stores) resulted in a similar effect. These Ca2+ concentrations had no effect on p145MET autophosphorylation in an in vitro kinase assay. This suggests that the effect of Ca2+ on p145MET tyrosine phosphorylation is not direct but may be mediated by Ca(2+)-activated proteins(s). Involvement of Ca(2+)-dependent tyrosine phosphatases was ruled out by experiments carried out in presence of Na2VO4. In vivo labeling with [32P]orthophosphate showed that the rise of intracellular Ca2+ induces serine phosphorylation of p145MET on a specific phosphopeptide. This suggests that Ca2+ negatively modulates p145MET kinase through the phosphorylation of a critical serine residue by a Ca(2+)-activated serine kinase distinct from PKC.

Tryptophan hydroxylase in the rat pineal gland undergoes diurnal rhythmic activity. Rat pineal glands exhibit increased tryptophan hydroxylase activity when incubated with a cyclic AMP analogue in vitro. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates tryptophan hydroxylase, purified from rat brain, without any modification of its enzyme activity under our experimental conditions. Actinomycin D or cycloheximide decreases the stimulating effect of the cyclic AMP analogue on pineal tryptophan hydroxylase activity. Incubation of pineal glands in the presence of [35S]methionine showed a cyclic AMP-induced increase in tryptophan hydroxylase synthesis. These results explain the circadian rhythm of tryptophan hydroxylase activity in the rat pineal gland and suggest that the regulation of tryptophan hydroxylase expression by cyclic AMP occurs probably either at the translational level or via transient expression of a transcriptional regulatory element.

The human 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor (hVDR) has been recently shown to be phosphorylated in vitro by casein kinase-II. Most of the residues phosphorylated by this enzyme were shown to reside between Asn160 and Asp232, a region near the N-terminal boundary of the hormone-binding domain. We report here that the hVDR is also phosphorylated in vivo after transfection into ROS 17/2.8 cells. In addition to testing full-length hVDR, we analyzed several internally deleted hVDR mutants. The expression and phosphorylation of full-length and mutated hVDRs were monitored in transfected cells by metabolic labeling with either [35S]methionine or [32P]orthophosphate, followed by immunopurification using monoclonal anti-VDR antibody linked to agarose beads. Transfected hVDR is distinguishable from the endogenous rat VDR when the immunoprecipitated proteins are resolved on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Significant phosphorylation of transfected full-length hVDR was observed in ROS 17/2.8 cells, and it was less dependent on the presence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 than that of the endogenous rat receptor. Most importantly, the region of in vivo phosphorylation, as defined by internal deletion mutants, resides between Met197 and Val234. Therefore, we have localized the major site of phosphorylation of hVDR to residues in the N-terminal region of the hormone-binding domain. The boundaries of this region fall within the amino acid segment defined for phosphorylation of hVDR by casein kinase-II in vitro, suggesting that VDR is an in vivo substrate for casein kinase-II or a related protein kinase.

To explore the molecular mechanisms of nerve growth factor (NGF) action, we have attempted to identify proteins that immunoprecipitate with the NGF receptor. An anti-NGF receptor antibody was developed that immunoprecipitated the 75-Kd receptor in PC-12 cells. In [35S]methionine-labeled cells lysed with nonionic detergent, immunoprecipitation with this antireceptor antisera specifically brought down several associated proteins, although prior treatment of cells with NGF produced no apparent change in the distribution of these proteins. However, in vitro phosphorylation assays of the immunoprecipitated complex revealed the presence of a serine kinase that phosphorylated two predominant substrates with Mrs of 60 and 130 Kd. Prior treatment of cells produced no change in the appearance of the 60-Kd phosphoprotein, but NGF did stimulate the appearance of the 130-Kd protein. This effect was observed with as little as 0.1 nM NGF and was maximal at 5 min, but declined thereafter. Prior treatment of cells with NGF did not increase the phosphorylation of enolase added exogenously to the immunoprecipitates, suggesting that this action of NGF may have reflected the hormone-dependent association of the 130-Kd protein with the receptor, rather than activation of a receptor-associated kinase. Thus the association of the NGF 75-Kd receptor with a 130-Kd protein may be involved in signal transduction for the growth factor, although the role of this receptor in the NGF-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation remains unclear.

The effect of CPT-cAMP and okadaic acid on phosphatidylcholine catabolism in suspension cultures of choline-deficient rat hepatocytes was investigated. Choline-deficient hepatocytes were pulse-labeled for 30 min with [methyl-3H]choline and subsequently chased for up to 60 min with choline in the absence or presence of 0.5 mM CPT-cAMP or 0.5 microM okadaic acid. Radioactivity in phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine were unchanged during the chase. However, the radioactivity incorporated into glycerophosphocholine was significantly increased (P less than 0.05) 59 and 77% after 60 min of chase in hepatocytes incubated with either okadaic acid or CPT-cAMP, respectively. Incubation of choline-deficient hepatocytes with both okadaic acid and CPT-cAMP produced an additive effect on radioactivity incorporated ino glycerophosphocholine. Crude mitochondrial, microsomal, and cytosolic phospholipaselysophospholipase activities, assayed in the presence of exogenously labeled phosphatidylcholine, were unchanged in both CPT-cAMP and okadaic acid treated hepatocytes compared with control. Phospholipase-lysophospholipase activity, assayed with endogenously labeled phosphatidylcholine, was increased 28 and 47% (P less than 0.05) in the crude mitochondrial fraction of hepatocytes treated with either okadaic acid or CPT-cAMP, respectively, compared with the control. Incubation of choline-deficient hepatocytes, labeled with L-[methyl-3H]methionine, with CPT-cAMP or okadaic acid caused a 31 and 20% increase (P less than 0.05) in the radioactivity incorporated into glycerophosphocholine, respectively, compared with the control. We postulate that phosphatidylcholine catabolism in choline-deficient hepatocytes may be regulated by a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation mechanism mediated through cAMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphoprotein phosphatase activities.

Pyroglutamyl peptidase II (EC 3.4.19.-), a highly specific membrane-bound TRH-degrading enzyme, is inactivated in Y-79 human retinoblastoma cells by exposure to 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in a biphasic manner. We have previously demonstrated a rapid decrease in pyroglutamyl peptidase II activity to 10% of the control level within 15 min, which returns to 70% of the control level by 1 h. This decrease results from enzyme phosphorylation by TPA-activated protein kinase-C. We now report a second phase of inactivation after longer exposure of cells to TPA. After 1 h, enzymatic activity slowly and progressively declined. By 7 h, only 15% of control activity remained. Cotreatment of cells with H-7, a protein kinase-C inhibitor, prevented this second phase of inactivation. Immunoblot experiments demonstrated a reduction in the amount of pyroglutamyl peptidase II in Y-79 membranes after long term exposure to TPA. Y-79 cells were labeled with [35S]methionine, and pyroglutamyl peptidase II was immunoprecipitated. A decreased incorporation of [35S]methionine paralleled the decrease in enzyme activity. These studies demonstrate that the second phase of inactivation after exposure to TPA is due to an inhibition of enzyme synthesis.
