A phosphoprotein kinase (ATP : protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) from calf thymus nuclei was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydroxyapatite, and Sepharose 6B gel filtration. The enzyme is a cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase by the following criteria: (a) the protein kinase did not bind cyclic AMP; (b) no inhibition of activity was obtained with the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor from rabbit skeletal muscle; (c) the regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase had no effect on activity; and (d) no inhibition was obtained with antibody to cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The nuclear cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase readily phosphorylated protamine on serine and to a lesser extent on threonine. Homologous nucleoplasmic RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) is a better substrate than arginine-rich histone, phosvitin or casein. Physical characteristics of the enzyme are described.

Two tryptic phosphopeptides containing the sites on the alpha and beta subunits of phosphorylase kinase which are phosphorylated by protein kinase, dependent on adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP), have been isolated and their amino acid sequences have been determined. 32P-labelled phosphorylase kinase, containing 1.9 mol phosphate per mol enzyme, was digested with an equimolar quantity of trypsin for 2.5 min at pH 7.0, 20 degrees C. This treatment released nearly all the 32P radioactivity associated with the beta subunit as trichloroacetic-acid-soluble material. Only a small proportion of the 32P radioactivity associated with the alpha subunit was solubilised, the remainder being removed in the trichloroacetic acid pellet. The beta-subunit tryptic phosphopeptide was completely resolved from traces of the alpha-subunit phosphopeptide by gel filtration on Sephadex G-25. Further purification by peptide mapping separated the phosphopeptide into four components, each derived from the same nine-amino-acid segment of the betachain, which was found to possess the sequence: Gln-Ser-Gly-Ser(P)-Val-Ile-Tyr-Pro-Leu-Lys. The four components were produced by the partial cyclisation of the N-terminal glutaminyl residue, and by the presence of two alleles for the beta subunit in the rabbit population, which led to a valine-isoleucine ambiguity. The alpha-subunit phosphopeptide was liberated from the trichloroacetic acid pellet by redigestion with trypsin. It was the largest component in the digest which remained soluble in 5% trichloroacetic acid, and obtained in a highly purified form by a single filtration on Sephadex G-50. The peptide comprised 39 amino acids of which nine were serine and three were threonine residues. Only one residue, the serine at position three from the amino terminus, was phosphorylated. The amino-terminal sequence of the peptide was shown to be: Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser-Glx-Pro-Asx-Gly. The sequences confirm the stoichiometry of the reaction and the absolute specificity of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase for just two of the 200 serine residues in the enzyme. These results and an inspection of the rate of phosphorylation of a number of skeletal muscle proteins, including each enzyme of the glycolytic pathway, lead to the conclusion that cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase is an extremely specific enzyme. The molecular basis of this specificity is discussed.

Non-histone chromosomal proteins are phosphorylated and dephosphorylated within the intact nucleus by two independent sets of reactions, a protein kinase reaction which transfers the terminal phosphate group of a variety of nucleoside and deoxynucleoside triphosphates to serine and threonine residues in the proteins, and a phosphatase reaction which cleaves these phosphoserine and phosphothreonine bonds and releases inorganic phosphate. Several lines of evidence are consistent with the hypothesis that the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of these proteins is involved in gene control mechanisms, including the findings that phosphorylated non-histone proteins are highly heterogeneous and their phosphorylation patterns are tissue specific, changes in their phosphorylation correlate with changes in chromatin structure and gene acticity, addition of phosphorylated non-histone proteins increases RNA synthesis in vitro. and phosphorylated non-histone proteins bind specifically to DNA. Cyclic AMP has both stimulatory and inhibitory properties on non-histone protein phosphorylation, depending on the enzyme fraction and substrate employed A specific protein component whose phosphorylation is inhibited by cyclic AMP has been found to be associated with RNA polymerase. The cyclic AMP-induced decrease in the phosphorylation of this protein correlates with an enhancement of RNA synthesis in vitro. These results suggest that both phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of chromatin-associated proteins may be involved in the control of gene readout.

An adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase II (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was partially purified from the cytosol fraction of an exponentially growing culture of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Protein kinase II represented approximately 90% of the cytosolic protein kinase activity. The enzyme had a high degree of substrate specificity for calf thymus and Tetrahymena histones as compared to casein, protamine and phosvitin. The enzyme incorporated the terminal phosphate of ATP into serine and threonine residues of all the histone fractions. The apparent Km of the enzyme for adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) was 1-10-minus 8 M. Protein kinase II was also activated by other cyclic nucleotides with apparent Km values in the range 2.k-10-minus 6 M. Ther specific activity of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase of Tetrahymena decreases markedly from initial high values during the transition from the lag to early log phase of growth. This is followed by a shrp increase in the activity of the enzyme as the log phase of growth progresses. The specific activity of the enzyme increases rapidly during the heat-induced synchronization of Tetrahymena cells. The capacity for rapid phosphorylation of multiple classed of organelle-specific phosphoproteins and the level of cyclic AMP were maximal in Tetrahymena during the earliest phase of growth. These results demonstrate that the cell cycle of Tetrahymena may be coordinated by marked variations in the level of cyclic AMP which in turn regulate the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Plasma membranes have been prepared from porcine thyroid glands using sucrose gradients. The fractions having a density in sucrose of 1.18 g/ml mainly contained plasma membranes and were moderately contaminated with other subcellular components as shown by marker enzyme data. Purified plasma membranes incubated in the presence of [32-P]gamma ATP incorporated 32-P. Kinetics of incorporation of 32-P into endogenous substrates studied in various buffers and with increasing ATP concentration suggest a phosphodephosphorylating system related to cAMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphoprotein phosphatase activities. The two enzymatic activities associated with plasma membranes have been demonstrated using exogenous substrates. cAMP increases and fluoride ions decrease the extent of membrane phosphorylation. The specific activity of protein kinase was 10-12 times higher than in the initial homogenate and was only slightly enhanced in the presence of 0.5% Nonidet as compared to microsomal fraction. cAMP binding to membrane proteins was 3 times higher than to the other particulate fractions. TSH present in the incubating medium or added after 5 min of 32-P labelling induced a rapid stimulation of endogenous phosphorylation followed by a rapid decrease. Phosphorylated membrane substrates were analyzed: high voltage paper electrophoresis after partial hydrolysis indicated that [32-P]phosphate is incorporated into serine and threonine residues as o-phosphate derivatives. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed several 32--labelled fractions. When enhanced by cAMP, no specific phosphorylation of protein components was observed.

Phosphorylation of rat liver RNA polymerase I occurred when intact rat liver nuclei were incubated with [gamma32P]ATP and N6,O2' dibutyryl cyclic 3':5'-AMP. In addition, partially purified RNA polymerase I could be phosphorylated in vitro by an endogenous protein kinase. Phosphorylation by either method was followed by extensive purification of the enzyme. This revealed that 32P remained bound to the enzyme throughout purification. Analysis of the homogeneous labeled protein by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions followed by autoradiography revealed that only one of the two forms of RNA polymerase I in rat liver nuclei was phosphorylated. RNA polymerase II was not phosphorylated in intact nuclei. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the phosphorylated RNA polymerase I in the presence of 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate followed by autoradiography demonstrated that the 32P was located primarily on enzyme subunits SA1, SA3, and SA5-SA6. High voltage paper electrophoresis of a partial acid hydrolysate of phosphorylated RNA polymerase I revealed that both serine and threonine residues were phosphroylated. N6,O2'-Dibutyryl cyclic 3':5'-AMP stimulated endogenous RNA polymerase I activity and endogenous nuclear protein phosphorylation in intact nuclei. These results suggest that phosphorylation of RNA polymerase I by nuclear protein kinases may play a role in the control of transcription in mammalian cells.

1. Various proteins isolated from bovine tracheal smooth muscle were examined as phosphate acceptor substrates for a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase isolated from the same tissue. A fraction prepared in a manner similar to that of skeletal muscle troponin was the best substrate of the presumptive contractile proteins isolate. Actomyosin and tropomyosin were relatively poor substrates. 2. An assay was developed for the rapid detection in a large number of samples of the muscle specific substrate for the protein kinase on which we reported previously. 3. Using this assay, the muscle specific substrate found in bovine tracheal smooth muscle was partially purified resulting in a preparation which when resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a single peak of 32P incorporated, and which could be further characterized. 4. Our findings suggest that the substrate contains a protein subunit of molecular weight 19 000, which can be phosphorylated at serine and threonine residues, in the presence of cyclic AMP and protein kinase. The phosphate is in a covalent ester linkage with these residues. 5. A phosphoprotein phosphatase was isolated from the bovine tracheal smooth muscle. 6. Bovine tracheal smooth muscle contains cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase and phosphoprotein phospahatase activity as well as the muscle specific substrate, suggesting that these elements may be part of a mechanism which regulates smooth muscle tone.

Endogenous protein kinase activity was detected in the outer plasma membrane of 373 and SV40 transformed 3T3 cells. When intact cells were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP, there was a transfer of [32P]phosphate into an acid-insoluble product. The reaction was: (a) linear as a function of time (up to 30 min), (b) proportional to the number of cells present and (c) dependent on temperature and Mg2+ concentration. The acid-insoluble product was susceptible to pronase but not RNase or DNase. More specifically, phosphomonoester bonds to serine and threonine were identified. There was less than 3% hydrolysis of the [gamma-32P]ATP during the reaction; moreover, free [32P]phosphate failed to substitute for the ATP. The reaction product was located on the cell surface, as evidenced by the fact that it could be removed by mild trypsin treatment of intact 3T3 cells. Further evidence for the surface location of the kinase was shown by its activity in phosphorlating exogenous substrate, histone, and phosvitin. The level of phosphorylation increased by 2- to 4-fold prior to the start of S phase when quiescent 3T3 cells were stimulated to reinitiate growth by the addition of serum. The SV40 3T3 cells had from 5- to 10-fold more activity per cell than the quiescent 3T3 cells. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and radioautography show at least 25 phosphorylated proteins; the surface label pattern of 3T3 cells differs from that of SV40-transformed 3T3 cells.

The known amino acid sequences at the two sites on phosphorylase kinase that are phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase were extended. The sequences of 42 amino acids around the phosphorylation site on the alpha-subunit and of 14 amino acids around the phosphorylation site on the beta-subunit were shown to be: alpha-subunit Phe-Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser-Glx-Pro-Asx-Gly-Gly-His-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ala-Asp-Leu-Met-Ser-Pro-Ser-Phe-Leu-Ser-Pro-Gly-Thr-Ser-Val-Phe(Ser,Pro,Gly)His-Thr-Ser-Lys; beta-subunit, Ala-Arg-Thr-Lys-Arg-Ser-Gly-Ser(P)-VALIle-Tyr-Glu-Pro-Leu-Lys. The sites on histone H2B which are phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro were identified as serine-36 and serine-32. The amino acid sequence in this region is: Lys-Lys-Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32(P)-Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36(P)-Tyr-Ser-Val-Tyr-Val- [Iwai, K., Ishikawa, K. & Hayashi, H. (1970) Nature (London) 226, 1056-1058]. Serine-36 was phosphorylated at 50% of the rate at which the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase was phosphorylated, and it was phosphorylated 6-7-fold more rapidly than was serine-32. The amino acid sequences when compared with those at the phosphorylation sites of other physiological substrates suggest that the presence of two adjacent basic amino acids on the N-terminal side of the susceptible serine residue may be critical for specific substrate recognition in vivo.

Free ribosomes and a smooth-microsomal fraction were prepared from bovine corpus luteum. Both preparations will self-phosphorylate when incubated with Mg(2+) and ATP, but at low concentrations of Mg(2+) and ATP the self-phosphorylation of the smooth-microsomal fraction was much more dependent on cyclic AMP than was that of free ribosomes, stimulation by the nucleotide being up to 10-fold in the former case. The self-phosphorylation of the smooth-microsomal fraction was studied further. The reaction bears similarities to that brought about by soluble cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, being inhibited by Ca(2+) and the heat-stable inhibitor protein from skeletal muscle. Cyclic GMP will activate the reaction at concentrations higher than those required for full activation by cyclic AMP. In the presence of cyclic AMP, phosphate bound to protein is found almost exclusively as phosphoserine. Several proteins are phosphorylated, as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, and the phosphorylation of all of them is markedly stimulated by cyclic AMP. If the reaction is carried out at high concentrations of Mg(2+) and ATP, a distinct cyclic AMP-independent phosphorylation is observed. This activity is not inhibited by the heat-stable inhibitor protein, and phosphate is found esterified with both threonine and serine residues.
