The phosphorylation of phosvitin in vitro by a cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase (phosvitin kinase) derived from rooster liver is markedly stimulated by the divalent cation, Mg2+. In addition, the activity is further stimulated by low concentrations of the polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine leading to higher rates of phosphate incorporation than could be obtained at any concentration of Mg2+. Spermine is inhibitory at higher concentrations. The polyamines shift the Mg2+ requirement for maximal activity to lower concentrations. The activity of a cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase from beef heart is not altered by the presence of polyamines. Heparin is a potent inhibitor of phosvitin kinase but has no effect on histone kinase. Polyribonucleotides (polyadenylic acid and transfer RNA) inhibit both types of kinases, but the degree of inhibition of phosvitin kinase is variable and depends upon the type of the polyanion present. Sermidine and spermine, but not Mg2+, efficiently counteract the inhibitory action of heparin and tRNA. The results suggest that, also in vivo, naturally occurring polyamines and polyanions such as tRNA may have a regulatory function on protein kinases.

ACTH1--24 inhibits the endogenous phosphorylation in vitro of distinct SPM protein bands. Using N-terminal fragments of ACTH, the structure-activity requirements for this effect were studied. A rather complex interaction of the ACTH fragments with endogenous SPM phosphorylation was observed. The effects were not only dependent on the primary structure of the peptide used, but also on the protein band studied and the ATP/SPM ratio used in the incubation system. ACTH1--24 did not interfere with the ATP-hydrolyzing activity of the SPM preparation, nor did it influence the endogenous phosphatase activity. Therefore, a direct interaction of ACTH with SPM protein kinase(s) is likely to be responsible for its effect on phosphorylation.

An interaction of polyamines with protein kinases activities from T. cruzi epimastigotes is demonstrated. Spermine and spermidine and less pronounced putrescine are found to inhibit protein kinases activities. In the extract of T. cruzi three protein kinases are distinguished on account of molecular weight (greater than 200 000, 95 000 and 40 000) and preference for acceptor proteins (phosvitin and histones). Especially the activity of the high molecular weight protein kinase which phosphorylates phosvitin is strongly inhibited by spermine and spermidine. The type of inhibition by both polyamines is found to be non-competitive with respect to ATP as well as phosvitin. The inhibition constants for spermine and spermidine are determined to be 1.4 mM and 2.0 nM, respectively.

Multiple endogenous substrates phosphorylated by four distinct protein kinases were identified in particulate and cytosolic fractions from the larval prothoracic gland of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. Three prominent particulate-associated phosphoprotein substrates (19, 21, and 34 kDa) were of particular interest. The in vitro phosphorylation of the 19 and 21 kDa peptides was markedly enhanced by cAMP, Ca2+/calmodulin, as well as Ca2+/phospholipids, presumably via cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK), Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (Ca2+/CaM-PK), and protein kinase C (PKC), respectively. The polyamine spermine markedly inhibits both PKC- and cAMP-PK-mediated phosphorylation of the 19 and 21 kDa peptides but had no effect on the Ca2+/CaMP-PK-mediated phosphorylation. Spermine also inhibits the phosphorylation of the 34 kDa peptide via cAMP-PK but does not affect PKC-promoted phosphorylation. In contrast to this differential inhibition of phosphorylation by a polyamine, four cytosolic and three particulate-associated peptides from the prothoracic glands undergo enhanced phosphorylation in the presence of spermine, presumably by stimulating casein kinase II activity. Therefore, polyamines appear to have multiple effects on protein phosphorylation pathways in this important endocrine gland, perhaps representing an important new regulatory control mechanism.

Enzyme secretion from the exocrine pancreas is stimulated by receptor-activated breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and consequent rise of both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol, which leads to Ca2+ release and to activation of protein kinase C, respectively. Another way involves receptor-mediated stimulation of adenylate cyclase and consequent rise of cAMP and activation of protein kinase A. In the present work we have studied direct stimulation, inhibition, and mutual interaction of these pathways on enzyme secretion from isolated rat pancreatic acini that had been permeabilized by treatment with saponin or digitonin. The data were compared with those obtained in isolated intact acini. The data show that with increasing free Ca2+ concentrations greater than 10(-6) M protein release increases in "leaky" but not in "intact" cells and is maximal at approximately 10(-3) M, increasing about twofold compared with that in the absence of Ca2+. In the presence of the acetylcholine analogue carbachol, this effect of Ca2+ is enhanced by about threefold in leaky cells and is also present in intact cells to a similar extent. cAMP and its analogues, dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) and 8-bromo-cAMP stimulate protein release by about twofold in the presence of Ca2+ in leaky cells. In intact acini cAMP has no effect, and cAMP analogues stimulate enzyme secretion by about twofold in some but not all experiments. Similarly, forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclases and inhibitors of cyclic nucleotide-dependent phosphodiesterases, such as 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) and R0 201724, stimulate protein release in permeabilized acini. The Ca2+-binding protein calmodulin has no effect on enzyme secretion, whereas the calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine dihydrochloride stimulates protein release in leaky but not in intact acini. The activator of protein kinase C, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) stimulates protein release in a Ca2+-dependent manner and enhances cAMP-induced secretion. The effects of carbachol, TPA, cAMP, and a combination of both TPA and cAMP are inhibited by the polyamine spermine in permeabilized cells. Spermine has no effect on carbachol-induced enzyme secretion in intact cells. The data suggest that enzyme secretion from pancreatic acinar cells is mediated by cAMP protein kinase A and by Ca2+ phospholipid protein kinase C in a Ca2+-dependent way and that interaction occurs between both pathways.

A highly purified preparation of sperm cytosolic protein kinase was obtained by repeated chromatography with phosphocellulose. The preferred substrate of the enzyme was casein and the activity was not stimulated by added Ca2+, calmodulin, or cAMP. With casein as substrate, both ATP and GTP served as phosphate donors and the activity was inhibited by low micromolar heparin and stimulated by low millimolar spermine and spermidine. These properties are characteristic of casein kinase II from other cells. Endogenous protein substrates of the enzyme in sperm cytosolic fractions and in plasma membranes were demonstrated by incubating the preparations with [gamma-32P]GTP, under conditions unfavorable to other protein kinases, and analyzing the products by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Spermine greatly enhanced the phosphorylation of three (55, 92, and 106 kDa) proteins in both cytosolic and plasma membrane preparations. Our results indicate that polyamines play a role in modulating the phosphorylation state of proteins in sperm and may further regulate sperm function through this mechanism.

Several polycations were tested for their abilities to inhibit the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3). L-Polylysine was the most powerful inhibitor of GSK-3 with half-maximal inhibition of glycogen synthase phosphorylation occurring at approx. 100 nM. D-Polylysine and histone H1 were also inhibitory, but the concentration dependence was complex, and DL-polylysine was the least effective inhibitor. Spermine caused about 50% inhibition of GSK-3 at 0.7 mM and 70% inhibition at 4 mM. Inhibition of GSK-3 by L-polylysine could be blocked or reversed by heparin. A heat-stable polycation antagonist isolated from swine kidney cortex also blocked the inhibitory effect of L-polylysine on GSK-3 and blocked histone H1 stimulation of protein phosphatase 2A activity. Under the conditions tested, L-polylysine also inhibited GSK-3 catalyzed phosphorylation of type II regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and a 63 kDa brain protein, but only slightly inhibited phosphorylation of inhibitor 2 or proteolytic fragments of glycogen synthase that contain site 3 (a + b + c). L-Polylysine at a concentration (200 nM) that caused nearly complete inhibition of GSK-3 stimulated casein kinase I and casein kinase II, but had virtually no effect on the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These results suggest that polycations can be useful in controlling GSK-3 activity. Polycations have the potential to decrease the phosphorylation state of glycogen synthase at site 3, both by inhibiting GKS-3 as shown in this study and by stimulating the phosphatase reaction as shown previously (Pelech, S. and Cohen, P. (1985) Eur. J. Biochem. 148, 245-251).

Bovine kidney mitochondrial extracts contain an inactive protamine kinase and an inactive casein kinase. The protamine kinase was activated by chromatography on poly(L-lysine)-agarose. Two forms of this soluble mitochondrial protamine kinase were separated by chromatography on protamine-agarose. Both forms were purified about 80,000-fold to apparent homogeneity. Both forms of the protamine kinase consist of a single polypeptide chain with an apparent Mr approximately 45,000. Both enzyme forms underwent autophosphorylation without significant effect on activity, and both forms exhibited identical substrate specificities. The protamine kinase showed little activity toward branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (less than 3%), and it was essentially inactive (less than 0.1%) with pyruvate dehydrogenase, casein, and ovalbumin. The enzyme was active with histone H1 and with bovine serum albumin. Protamine kinase activity was unaffected by heparin (up to 100 micrograms/ml), by the protein inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, by Ca2+ and calmodulin, and by monoclonal antibody to the catalytic domain of protein kinase C from rat brain. The casein kinase was activated in the presence of spermine or by chromatography of the extract on DEAE-cellulose or poly(L-lysine)-agarose. The enzyme was purified about 80,000-fold to apparent homogeneity. It exhibited an apparent Mr 130,000 as determined by gel-permeation chromatography on Sephacryl S-300 in the presence of 0.5 M NaCl. Two subunits, with apparent Mr's 36,000 (alpha) and 28,000 (beta) were detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The kinase underwent autophosphorylation of its beta-subunit, without significant effect on activity. Casein kinase activity was inhibited 50% by 1.5 micrograms/ml of heparin. Spermine (1.0 mM) stimulated activity of the purified kinase two- to three-fold at 1.5 mM Mg2+. Half-maximal stimulation occurred at 0.1 mM spermine. The kinase utilized both ATP and GTP as substrates. The casein kinase showed little activity (less than 1%) toward pyruvate dehydrogenase and branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase from kidney mitochondria, and the kinase was essentially inactive with glycogen synthase a. The properties of this soluble mitochondrial kinase indicate that it is a type II casein kinase.

The effects of the naturally occurring polyamines spermine and spermidine on phosphorylation promoted by cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PK) (cAMP-PK; EC 2.7.1.37) were studied using the brain of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. Four particulate-associated peptides (280, 34, 21, and 19 kilodaltons) in day 1 pupal brains are endogenous substrates for a particulate type II cAMP-PK. These phosphoproteins are present in brain synaptosomal, as well as microsomal, particulate fractions but are not present in the cytosol. They are distributed throughout the CNS and PNS and are present in several nonneuronal tissues as well. Phosphorylation of these proteins via cAMP-PK was inhibited markedly by micromolar concentrations of spermine and spermidine. Other particulate-associated peptides phosphorylated via a Ca2+/calmodulin-PK or Ca2+ and cAMP-independent PKs were unaffected by polyamines, whereas the phosphorylation of a 260-kilodalton peptide was markedly enhanced. Spermine did not exert its inhibitory effect indirectly by enhancement of cAMP or ATP hydrolysis or via proteolysis, but its action appears to involve a substrate-directed inhibition of cAMP-PK-promoted phosphorylation as well as enhanced dephosphorylation. Although addition of spermine resulted in marked ribosome aggregation in synaptosomal and microsomal particulate fractions, this phenomenon was not involved in the inhibition of cAMP-PK-promoted phosphorylation.

Glycogen synthase a was purified from rabbit skeletal muscle by a procedure involving heparin-Sepharose chromatography. Glycogen synthase a was phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase to give synthase b1. Dephosphorylation and activation of synthase b1 was investigated using the catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase-1 and 2A. The dephosphorylation and activation of synthase b1 was biphasic with a larger rate constant for the initial phase. Analysis of tryptic phosphopeptides of glycogen synthase during the course of dephosphorylation revealed a faster initial phosphate release from site-2 by both phosphatases comparing to sites-1a and 1b. Ligand effects on synthase phosphatase reactions were also studied. Spermine was found to inhibit protein phosphatase-1 activity and to stimulate type-2A phosphatase using synthase b1 as substrate.
