We have characterized a cyclic AMP-resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutant in which one of two major species of type I regulatory subunit (RI) of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is altered. Wild-type CHO cell extracts contain two cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activities. As shown by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, there is a peak of type I protein kinase activity in mutant extracts, but the type II protein kinase activity is considerably reduced even though free type II regulatory subunit (RII) is present. The type I kinase from the mutant has an altered RI (RI*) whose KD for the binding of 8-N3[32P] cAMP (KD = 1.3 X 10(-5) M) is increased by more than 200-fold compared to RI from the wild-type enzyme (KD = 5.5 X 10(-8) M). No differences were found between the catalytic subunits from the wild-type and mutant type I kinases. A large portion of RI in mutant and wild-type extracts is present in the free form. The RI* derived from mutant type I protein kinase shows altered labeling by 8-N3[32P]cAMP (KD = 1.3 X 10(-5) M) whereas the free RI from the mutant is labeled normally by the photoaffinity label (KD = 7.2 X 10(-8) M), suggesting that the RI* which binds to the catalytic subunit is functionally different from the free form of RI. The decreased amount of type II kinase activity in the mutant appears to be due to competition of RI* with RII for binding to the catalytic subunit. Translation of mRNA from wild-type CHO cells results in the synthesis of two different charge forms of RI, providing biochemical confirmation of two different species of RI in CHO cells. Additional biochemical evidence based on isoelectric focusing behavior of 8-N3[32P]cAMP-labeled RI species and [35S]methionine-labeled RI from mutant and wild-type extracts confirms the charge heterogeneity of RI species in CHO cells. These genetic and biochemical data taken together are consistent with the conclusion that there are at least two different species of RI present in CHO cells and that one of these species is altered in the mutant analyzed in this work.

High-resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of proteins labeled with either 32Pi or [35S]methionine was used to study interactions between cyclic AMP and tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) at the level of intracellular protein phosphorylation. Cultured S49 mouse lymphoma cells were used as a model system, and mutant sublines lacking either the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase or the guanyl nucleotide-binding "Ns" factor of adenylate cyclase provided tools to probe mechanisms underlying the interactions observed. Three sets of phosphoproteins responded differently to TPA treatment of wild-type and mutant cells: Phosphorylations shown previously to be responsive to activation of intracellular cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase were stimulated by TPA in wild-type cells but not in mutant cells, a subset of phosphorylations stimulated strongly by TPA in mutant cells was inhibited in wild-type cells, and two novel phosphoprotein species appeared in response to TPA only in wild-type cells. The latter two classes of TPA-mediated responses specific to wild-type cells could be evoked in adenylate cyclase-deficient cells by treating concomitantly with TPA and either forskolin or an analog of cyclic AMP. Three conclusions are drawn from our results: 1) TPA stimulates adenylate cyclase in wild-type cells causing increased phosphorylation of endogenous substrates by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, 2) activated cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase inhibits phosphorylation (or enhances dephosphorylation) of a specific subset of TPA-dependent phosphoproteins, and 3) cyclic AMP-dependent events facilitate TPA-dependent phosphorylation of some substrate proteins.

The protein (p59rel) encoded by the transforming gene of reticuloendotheliosis virus strain T (REV-T) has been identified in REV-T-transformed avian lymphoid cells by using antisera raised against synthetic peptides whose sequences were derived from three nonoverlapping regions of v-rel (N. R. Rice, T. D. Copeland, S. Simek, S. Oroszlan, and R. V. Gilden, Virology 149:217-229, 1986). To obtain polyclonal antibodies directed against a larger number of p59rel epitopes, a 262-amino acid segment was expressed in bacteria. Antisera raised against this fusion protein (v-delta-rel) precipitated p59rel from lysates of [35S]methionine-labeled REV-T-transformed cells, thus confirming previous results obtained with the peptide antisera. We used this new antiserum to localize p59rel in REV-T-transformed cells by subcellular fractionation using differential centrifugation and by indirect immune fluorescent staining. After fractionation and immune precipitation, the majority of p59rel was found in the cytosolic fraction. Indirect immunofluorescence experiments also gave results consistent with the cytoplasmic localization of the v-rel protein in transformed lymphoid cells. In previous studies (Rice et al., Virology 149:217-229, 1986) it was shown that immune precipitates formed with one of the three p59rel peptide antisera possessed in vitro protein kinase activity. Immune precipitates formed with the fusion protein antiserum also showed kinase activity in the in vitro assay. Most of this activity was found in the soluble cytoplasmic fraction, indicating that the kinase may be p59rel or a protein closely associated with it.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor protein kinase activity, estimated by the use of peptide substrates, was reduced by as much as 70% after the treatment of intact A431 human carcinoma cells with EGF. The apparent decrease in protein kinase activity was observed after immunoprecipitation of the receptor or after purification of the receptor by lectin chromatography. By the use of [35S]methionine, it was determined that the total amount of receptor obtained was the same whether or not cells were treated with EGF. EGF stimulated the purified receptor protein kinase activity in vitro; however, the EGF-stimulated activity of receptor from EGF-treated cells continued to be reduced by as much at 70% compared to the EGF-stimulated activity from untreated cells. The reduction in receptor protein kinase activity induced by EGF may represent a feedback mechanism by which responsiveness to the growth factor is regulated.

Carboxypeptidase B-like enzymes cleaving Met-enkephalin-Arg from synaptosomes of the rat striatum purified using a DEAE-cellulose column and Met-Arg-CH-Sepharose 4B affinity column proved to be different from enkephalin-convertase, lysosomal carboxypeptidase B-like enzyme, pancreas carboxypeptidase B and carboxypeptidase Y, in effects of inhibitors and activators, pH optimum (7.5-8.5) and molecular size (50,000). This enzyme, named "Processin CP-E" was activated by cAMP dependent protein kinase, and the Vmax was increased from 4.3 to 13.3 microM/min/mg protein, while the Km (28.2 microM) was unchanged.

Plasmids encoding the amino terminal portion of an influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) fused to polyoma virus middle T (mT) or large T (lT) sequences have been constructed. Stable expression of the chimeric proteins was obtained in established rat embryo fibroblasts following plasmid co-transfection and selection for G418 resistance. The synthesis and localization of the proteins was followed by metabolic labeling with [35S]methionine and [3H]mannose, cell fractionation, and immunoprecipitation with anti-polyoma T antibody. The HA leader and amino terminal peptide direct the synthesis of the lT and mT proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum where they undergo glycosylation, but this occurs with a very low efficiency. Most of the HA-mT and HA-lT fusion protein molecules do not enter completely into the endoplasmic reticulum, but rather achieve their normal locations in the cell as slightly higher molecular weight proteins, presumably due to the extra sequences derived from HA at their amino termini. HA-mT fusion protein is found to have associated tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity precipitable with anti-src as well as anti-T antibody, and cells expressing this fusion protein have a transformed phenotype.

Addition of the chemotactic peptide, f-Met-Leu-Phe, to human monocytes induced a burst of superoxide release, which ceased after approximately 3 min. Diminished responsiveness to f-Met-Leu-Phe, but not to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), was induced by 1- to 3-h storage at 0 degrees C or by 2 min in 40 microM adenosine (ADO). Reversal of the ADO block was achieved by addition of adenosine deaminase (ADA) as little as 15 sec before the f-Met-Leu-Phe stimulus; ADA had no effect when added poststimulus. The ADO experiments suggest that there are a minimum of two sequentially produced intermediates in the f-Met-Leu-Phe stimulus-response pathway. The first intermediate persists for less than 30 sec. The second, formation of which is stimulated by the first, persists for the duration of the response and is the target of ADO inhibition. The ADO target is apparently not protein kinase-C, since the response of inhibited cells to PMA was unimpaired. The maximal inhibition by adenosine of f-Met-Leu-Phe-induced superoxide generation was approximately 50%. It is possible that f-Met-Leu-Phe stimulates two pathways of NADPH activation, only one of which is inhibited by adenosine.

These studies were undertaken to determine the molecular events by which estradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulate in ovarian granulosa cells the increase in the content of one of the regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase type II, RII51 (Mr = 51,000), and its electrophoretic variants RII51.5 (Mr = 51,500) and RII52 (Mr = 52,000). To analyze the de novo synthesis of RII51/52, granulosa cells were cultured (10(6) cells/ml) for 0, 12, 24, or 48 h with estradiol (10 nM) +/- FSH (12.5, 25, and 50 ng/ml), 8-bromo-cAMP (0.25-3 mM), or forskolin (0.5-100 microM) and then pulse-labeled with [35S]methionine (300 microCi/ml; 4 h). Labeled RII51, present either in urea extracts of total cellular protein or after partial purification from a soluble cell extract by cAMP-Sepharose chromatography, was quantitated by autoradiography of two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels and by excision of the silver-stained spots of the RII51 variants from the gels and counting. Synthesis of RII51 and its electrophoretic variants was low in cells cultured with estradiol alone for 48 h, whereas it was increased 4-5-fold in cells cultured with estradiol and FSH. Changes in the synthesis of actin were minor throughout the culture period regardless of hormone treatment. Pulse-chase experiments using [35S]methionine provided evidence that the isoelectric variants RII51.5 and RII52 may be derived from RII51 by post-translation modification, such as phosphorylation. Labelling with [32P]orthophosphate showed that RII52 contained more radioactivity than RII51.5 and RII51. Northern and filter hybridization assays demonstrated a 6-10-fold dose- and time-dependent increase in the amount of RII51 mRNA in granulosa cells exposed to estradiol and FSH or estradiol and forskolin compared to those cultured with estradiol alone. In vitro translation of poly(A)+ mRNA of granulosa cells from estradiol- and FSH-treated hypophysectomized rats also demonstrated an increase in the content of translatable RII51 mRNA. These studies indicate that in cultured rat granulosa cells the synthesis of RII51 and the content of its mRNA are selectively increased by estradiol and cAMP in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Based on these observations, RII51 appears to be a useful marker to determine the molecular (genomic?) sites of estradiol and FSH action in differentiating rat granulosa cells.

The regulatory (R) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was expressed in Escherichia coli by engineering the gene for yeast R, BCY1, into an E. coli expression vector that contained a promoter from phage T7. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was used to create an NdeI restriction site at the natural ATG of the yeast R. This facilitated construction of the T7 expression vector so that the sequence of the protein produced was identical to the natural R subunit. Yeast R was highly expressed in a soluble form. 20 mg of purified yeast R was obtained from 4 liters of E. coli. N-terminal amino acid sequencing revealed that the expressed protein began with the natural sequence. 60% of the molecules contained an N-terminal methionine, and 40% initiated with valine, the second amino acid of yeast R. The protein produced in E. coli migrated on a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel with an Mr of 52,000. The yeast R bound 2 mol of cAMP/mol of R monomer with a Kd of 76 nM. The protein was treated with urea to remove bound cAMP. Sedimentation values before and after the urea treatment were identical (s20,w = 5.1). Addition of purified R subunit to a preparation of yeast C subunit (TPK1) rendered catalytic activity cAMP-dependent with an activity ratio of 4.6. The yeast R was autophosphorylated by yeast C to a level of 0.8 mol of phosphate/mol of R monomer. By these criteria, the R subunit produced in E. coli was structurally and functionally identical to the natural yeast R subunit and similar to mammalian type II R subunits.

The contribution of lysine and arginine residues to the substrate specificity of the myosin light-chain kinase has been studied using chemically modified myosin light chains. Succinylation or maleylation of the myosin light chains caused complete inhibition of their phosphorylation. Modification of 50% of the lysine residues resulted in 90% inhibition of phosphorylation and this was accompanied by a 25-fold increase in the apparent Km. In contrast, phosphorylation of the myosin light chains by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase was relatively insensitive to lysine modification, with only a 15% reduction in phosphorylation following succinylation of 50% of the lysine residues. Treatment with either cyclohexane-1,2-dione or camphorquinone-10-sulfonic acid resulted in between 90 and 98% inhibition of myosin light-chain phosphorylation. These reagents caused modification of both lysine and arginine residues, and accordingly only part of the inhibition can be attributed to arginine modification. Modification of all of the cysteine and methionine residues caused only a 40% inhibition of phosphorylation. The results of this study support the concept that lysine and arginine residues act as essential specificity determinants for the myosin light-chain kinase in protein substrates.
