The activities of rat brain protein kinase C isoenzymic fractions separated by hydroxyapatite chromatography were measured with histone H1 or the oligopeptide Ala-Ala-Ala-Ser-Phe-Lys-Ala-Lys-Lys-amide as substrates. The oligopeptide was a better substrate than histone H1 for nearly all of the protein kinase C fractions. Two subfractions of type III isoenzyme were resolved (IIIa and IIIb); type IIIb was characterized by a very low histone kinase activity compared to its peptide kinase activity. In some brain extracts a phospholipid-dependent but Ca2+-inhibited protein kinase was also observed which was eluted from the hydroxyapatite column between type II and III isoenzymes of protein kinase C.

The site in calcineurin, the Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein phosphatase, which is phosphorylated by Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-kinase II) has been identified. Analyses of 32P release from tryptic and cyanogen bromide peptides derived from [32P]calcineurin plus direct sequence determination established the site as -Arg-Val-Phe-Ser(PO4)-Val-Leu-Arg-, which conformed to the consensus phosphorylation sequence for CaM-kinase II (Arg-X-X-Ser/Thr-). This phosphorylation site is located at the C-terminal boundary of the putative CaM-binding domain in calcinerin (Kincaid, R. L., Nightingale, M. S., and Martin, B. M. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 85, 8983-8987), thereby accounting for the observed inhibition of this phosphorylation when Ca2+/CaM is bound to calcineurin. Since the phosphorylation site sequence also contains elements of the specificity determinants for Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) (basic residues both N-terminal and C-terminal to Ser/Thr), we tested calcineurin as a substrate for protein kinase C. Protein kinase C catalyzed rapid stoichiometric phosphorylation, and the characteristics of the reaction were the same as with CaM-kinase II: 1) the phosphorylation was blocked by binding of Ca2+/CaM to calcineurin; 2) phosphorylation partially inactivated calcineurin by increasing the Km (from 9.9 +/- 1.1 to 17.5 +/- 1.1 microM 32P-labeled myosin light chain); and 3) [32P]calcineurin exhibited very slow autodephosphorylation but was rapidly dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase IIA. Tryptic and thermolytic 32P-peptide mapping and sequential phosphoamino acid sequence analysis confirmed that protein kinase C and CaM-kinase II phosphorylated the same site.

Electrically permeabilized human neutrophils were used to study the mechanism of activation of the NADPH oxidase by chemotactic factors. The respiratory burst elicited by formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) was strictly dependent on the addition of ATP. The response was also supported by adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[S]), but not by the non-hydrolysable analogue (p[NH]ppA). In the presence of ATP, displacement of fMLP from its receptor by antagonist peptides resulted in the abrupt termination of the O2-consumption burst. In contrast, the response persisted after displacement of fMLP when ATP[S] was present. This finding is consistent with the formation of biologically active thiophosphoproteins which are resistant to cleavage by cellular phosphatases. Accordingly, lower concentrations of ATP[S], as compared with ATP, were required to support the fMLP response. The data indicate that protein phosphatases control the extent and duration of the response in cells stimulated with chemoattractants. Unlike ATP, sub-millimolar concentrations of ATP[S] elicited a spontaneous respiratory burst in the absence of fMLP or other stimuli. This effect was inhibited by p[NH]ppA and was not observed in intact (non-permeabilized) cells, indicating interaction of ATP[S] with an intracellular adenine-nucleotide-binding site, possibly a protein kinase. These results suggest that protein kinases are active in neutrophils in the absence of exogenous stimuli, but that accumulation of the essential phosphoprotein(s) is normally prevented by the ongoing vigorous phosphatase activity. It is conceivable that control of the respiratory burst is exerted by inhibition of phosphatase activity, instead of or in addition to the more commonly postulated activation of protein kinases.

1. Neurons with a receptor responded to FMRFamide (Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2) were identified in the ganglion of Aplysia kurodai. Ionic mechanism and channel gating system of the FMRFamide-induced responses were investigated by current clamp and voltage clamp methods. 2. The reversal potential of FMRFamide-induced response exactly coincided with the equilibrium potential for K+. This proved that the response was produced by a specific increase in membrane permeability toward K+, exclusively. 3. The FMRFamide-induced response was not affected by the inhibitors for Ca2(+)-activated K(+)-current, i.e., TEA, apamin, and EGTA. This excluded a possibility that FMRFamide-activated K(+)-channel is a Ca2(+)-activated K(+)-channel. 4. Intracellular injection of pertussis-toxin (PTX) caused no change in either resting potential or conductance, but it irreversibly blocked the FMRFamide-induced outward current within 30 min. Similarly applied cholera toxin (CTX) showed no effect on the FMRF-amide response. 5. Intracellular application of guanosine 5'-0-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S) caused no effect on either resting potential or conductance, but it blocked the FMRFamide-induced K(+)-current within 3 min. 6. Intracellular application of guanosine 5'-0-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) alone induced a slowly developing, irreversible outward current associated with an increase in membrane conductance. However, repetitive applications of FMRFamide immediately after the start of GTP gamma S application markedly facilitated the effect of GTP gamma S on the resting membrane. 7. Intracellular application of either adenylate cyclase inhibitor (3'-deoxyadenosine) or A-kinase inhibitor (H-8) did not affect the FMRFamide-induced response. 8. It was concluded that the FMRFamide-induced K(+)-current is mediated by PTX-sensitive GTP-binding protein Gi, Go or Gk. It was also suggested that the FMRFamide-induced response is produced independently of the changes in intracellular Ca2+ or cyclic AMP.

The catalytic subunit of the Ca2+/calmodulin- (CaM) dependent phosphoprotein phosphatase calcineurin (CN) was phosphorylated by an activated form of Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-kinase II) incorporating approximately 1 mol of phosphoryl group/mol of catalytic subunit, in agreement with a value previously reported (Hashimoto et al., 1988). Cyanogen bromide cleavage of radiolabeled CN followed by peptide fractionation using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography yielded a single labeled peptide that contained a phosphoserine residue. Microsequencing of the peptide allowed both the determination of the cleavage cycle that released [32P]phosphoserine and the identity of amino acids adjacent to it. Comparison of this sequence with the sequences of methionyl peptides deduced from the cDNA structure of CN (Kincaid et al., 1988) allowed the phosphorylated serine to be uniquely identified. Interestingly, the phosphoserine exists in the sequence Met-Ala-Arg-Val-Phe-Ser(P)-Val-Leu-Arg-Glu, part of which lies within the putative CaM-binding site. The phosphorylated serine residue was resistant to autocatalytic dephosphorylation, yet the slow rate of hydrolysis could be powerfully stimulated by effectors of CN phosphatase activity. The mechanism of dephosphorylation may be intramolecular since the initial rate was the same at phosphoCN concentrations of 2.5-250 nM.

Fourier-transform i.r. spectroscopy, 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy and X-ray scattering were used to study the conformation and shape of the peptide PKI(5-22)amide, which contains the active site of the inhibitor protein of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase [Cheng, Van Pattern, Smith & Walsh (1985) Biochem. J. 231, 655-661]. The X-ray-scattering solution studies show that the peptide has a compact structure with Rg 0.9 nm (9.0 A) and a linear maximum dimension of 2.5 nm (25A). Compatible with this, Fourier-transform i.r. and n.m.r. determinations indicate that the peptide contains approx. 26% alpha-helix located in the N-terminal one-third of the molecule. This region contains the phenylalanine residue that is one essential recognition determinant for high-affinity binding to the protein kinase catalytic site.

The cdc2+ protein kinase (pp34) is found to be phosphorylated on tyrosine as well as serine and threonine residues in exponentially growing Schizosaccharomyces pombe. At mitosis, the level of pp34 phosphorylation on both threonine and tyrosine residues decreases. The single detectable site of tyrosine phosphorylation in pp34 has been mapped to Tyr 15, a residue within the presumptive ATP-binding domain. Substitution of this tyrosine by phenylalanine advances cells prematurely into mitosis, establishing that tyrosine phosphorylation/dephosphorylation directly regulates pp34 function.

PKI-(5-24)-amide is a 20-residue peptide with the sequence, Thr5-Thr-Tyr-Ala-Asp-Phe-Ile-Ala-Ser-Gly-Arg-Thr-Gly-Arg-Arg-Asn-A la-Ile-His- Asp24-NH2, that corresponds to the active portion of the heat-stable inhibitor protein of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (Cheng, H.-C., Kemp, B. E., Pearson, R. B., Smith, A. J., Misconi, L., Van Patten, S. M., and Walsh, D. A. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 989-992). Amino acid residues in PKI-(5-24)-amide responsible for the potent inhibition (Ki = 2.3 nM) of the catalytic subunit of protein kinase were further investigated using deletion and substitution analogs of the synthetic peptide. Residues 5, 23, and 24 were not required for activity since the 17-residue PKI-(6-22)-amide retained full potency. Sequential removal of the first seven amino acids from the NH2 terminus of PKI-(5-24)-amide caused a progressive 50-fold loss of inhibitory potency. In contrast, substitution of either Thr6, Asp9, or Ile11 with alanine, or Ala8 by leucine, in PKI-(5-22)-amide produced less than 3-fold decreases in potency. Of the 2 aromatic residues in PKI-(5-22)-amide, the individual substitution of Phe10 and Tyr7 by alanine caused, respectively, 90- and 5-fold decreases in inhibitory potency, demonstrating important roles for each. This NH2-terminal portion of the peptide is believed to contain a significant portion of alpha-helix. Many recognition or structural determinants are also essential in the COOH-terminal portion of PKI-(5-22)-amide. In addition to the basic subsite provided by the three arginines, several other of the residues are critical for full inhibitory potency. Substitution of Ile22 by glycine in either PKI-(5-22)-amide or PKI-(14-22)-amide lowered the inhibitory potency by 150- and 50-fold, respectively. Separate replacement of Gly17 or Asn20, in either PKI-(5-22)-amide or PKI-(14-22)-amide, caused 7-15-fold decreases in potency. Substitution of both Gly17 and Asn20 together (in PKI-(14-22)-amide) produced a synergistic loss of inhibitory activity. [Leu13,Ile14]PKI-(5-22)-amide, a doubly substituted analog exhibited a 42-fold increase in Ki value. We conclude that Ser13 and/or Gly14, Gly17, Asn20, and Ile22 each contribute important features to the binding of these inhibitory peptides to the protein kinase, either by providing recognition determinants, inducing structure, and/or allowing essential peptide backbone flexibility.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The minimal structure in the heat-stable inhibitor protein of cAMP-dependent protein kinase required for a low nanomolar potency of inhibition is the peptide Thr6-Tyr-Ala-Asp-Phe-Ile-Ala-Ser-Gly-Arg-Thr-Gly-Arg-Arg-Asn-Ala-+ ++Ile22-NH2 (PKI-(6-22)-amide). While primary structural determinants for interaction with the protein kinase are distributed throughout the 17 residues of this peptide, we have previously shown that phenylalanine 10 in the NH2-terminal portion is a particularly important determinant for high affinity binding (Glass, D. B., Cheng, H.-C., Mende-Mueller, L., Reed, J., and Walsh, D. A. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 8802-8810). To investigate this requirement further, peptide analogs of PKI-(6-22)-amide in which various natural and nonstandard amino acids are substituted for phenylalanine 10 have been synthesized and tested for inhibitory potency against the catalytic subunit of the protein kinase. Consistent with the importance of the hydrophobicity of phenylalanine, an alanine 10 substitution analog exhibited a 270-fold decrease in inhibitory potency, whereas the leucine 10 analog lost only 33-fold in activity as compared to the parent peptide PKI-(6-22)-amide. Peptides containing the spatial conformation analogs D-phenylalanine, homophenylalanine, or phenylglycine were 60-120-fold less potent than the parent peptide. Peptides containing various para-substituted phenylalanines at position 10 were only 5-11-fold less potent. One exception to this was (4'-azidophenylalanine 10)PKI-(6-22)-amide, which was nearly equipotent with the parent inhibitor. The most potent analogs were those peptides containing highly aromatic residues at position 10. The 2'-thienylalanine 10, tryptophan (formyl) 10, tryptophan 10, and the 1'-naphthylalanine 10 analogs were 3-fold less potent, equipotent, slightly more potent, and 4-fold more potent than the parent peptide inhibitor, respectively. We conclude that phenylalanine 10 in PKI-(6-22)-amide, and presumably in the native protein inhibitor, interacts through specific hydrophobic and/or aromatic binding to a hydrophobic pocket or cleft near the active site of the protein kinase.

The protein kinase inhibitor, 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl) piperazine (C-I), inhibits superoxide release from human neutrophils (PMN) stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate or synthetic diacylglycerol, without inhibiting superoxide release from PMN stimulated with the chemoattractants C5a or N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (f-Met-Leu-Phe). In this study, we investigated the effect of C-I on human PMN chemotaxis to C5a, f-Met-Leu-Phe, leukotriene B4 (LTB4), and fluoresceinated N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-lysine (f-Met-Leu-Phe-Lys-FITC). PMN, preincubated for 5 min at 37 degrees C with 0 to 200 microM C-I, were tested for their migratory responses to the chemoattractants. C-I (greater than or equal to 1 microM) significantly inhibited PMN chemotaxis to f-Met-Leu-Phe, f-Met-Leu-Phe-Lys-FITC, and C5a without affecting random migration. Maximal inhibition of chemotaxis to these attractants occurred with greater than or equal to 50 microM C-I, at which chemotaxis was inhibited by 80 to 95%. The C-I inhibition was reversible. In contrast, 200 microM C-I did not inhibit the number of PMN migrating to LTB4, although, the leading front of PMN migration to LTB4 was inhibited by C-I. C-I inhibited PMN orientation to C5a and f-Met-Leu-Phe without affecting orientation to LTB4. C-I did not inhibit the binding of radiolabeled f-Met-Leu-Phe or f-Met-Leu-Phe-Lys-FITC to PMN. These findings suggest that the chemotactic responses of PMN to f-Met-Leu-Phe and C5a involve a protein kinase-dependent reaction which is inhibited by C-I.
