Tau protein kinase I (TPKI) isolated from bovine brain has been determined to phosphorylate tau at four distinct sites by detecting modified Ser and Thr residues with protein sequencer. Ser199, Thr231, Ser396 and Ser413 were all found to have been phosphorylated by TPKI (numbering of amino acids was done in relation to the longest human tau [Neuron, 3 (1989) 519-526]). These phosphorylations generate an epitope of PHF (paired helical filaments) and eliminate the recognition of tau by the monoclonal antibody, tau-1. These results suggested that TPKI might be responsible for at least some of the phosphorylation of tau to induce PHF formation.

Two protein kinases active on casein and phosvitin were partially purified from the soluble fraction of ejaculated bovine spermatozoa. They were operationally termed casein kinase A and B based on the order of their elution from a phosphocellulose column. CK-A showed an approximate molecular mass of 38 kDa, and it phosphorylated serine residues of casein and phosvitin utilizing ATP as a phosphate donor (Km 19 microM). Enzyme activity was maximal in the presence of 10 mM MgCl2, whereas it decreased in the presence of spermine, polylysine, quercetin, and NaCl (20-250 mM). CK-B seemed to have a monomeric structure of about 41 kDa; it underwent autophosphorylation and cross-reacted with polyclonal antibodies raised against recombinant alpha, but not beta, subunit of human type 2 casein kinase. It phosphorylated both serine and threonine residues of casein and phosvitin, utilizing ATP (Km 12 microM) but not GTP as a phosphate donor. Threonine was more affected in the phosphorylated phosvitin than in the partially dephosphorylated substrate. CK-B was active toward the synthetic peptide Ser-(Glu)5 and calmodulin (in the latter case, in the presence of polylysine), and it was activated by spermine, polylysine, MgCl2 (30 mM), and NaCl (20-400 mM). The activity of the enzymes was not affected by cAMP, or the heat-stable inhibitor of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, or calcium.

The bacteriophage T7 0.7 gene encodes a protein which supports viral reproduction under specific suboptimal growth conditions. The 0.7 protein (gp0.7) shuts off host RNA polymerase-catalyzed transcription and also expresses a serine/threonine-specific, cAMP-independent protein kinase (PK) activity. To determine the role of the gp0.7 PK in viral reproduction, the 0.7 gene of the T7(JS78) mutant phage--whose gp0.7 expresses only the PK activity--was cloned in the plasmid expression vector pET-11a. Cells containing the recombinant plasmid were viable, and upon IPTG induction produced a 30-kDa polypeptide, similar in size to the gp0.7-related polypeptide seen in T7(JS78)-infected cells. Extracts of cells containing this polypeptide can phosphorylate the exogenous substrate lysozyme. Expression of plasmid-encoded gp0.7(JS78) in vivo results in phosphorylation of the same proteins which are phosphorylated in T7(JS78)-infected cells; moreover, the plasmid-encoded gp0.7(JS78) is itself phosphorylated. The JS78 mutation changes Gln243 in gp0.7 to an amber codon, which explains the production of the truncated, 30-kDa gp0.7-related polypeptide, and implicates the 11-kDa C-terminal domain in host transcription shut-off. The T7(A23) 0.7 point mutant fails to express PK activity in infected cells. However, the truncated T7(A23)-related polypeptide, expressed from a plasmid, exhibits PK activity in vivo and in vitro, but with an altered specificity. Thus, the A23 mutation, which changes Asp100 to Asn, may identify a substrate recognition determinant.

TSH regulation of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptor kinases has been studied in FRTL5 cultured thyroid cells. Preincubation of intact cells with TSH increased by 2-fold insulin and IGF-I receptor autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of the p175 endogenous substrate for the receptors. Enhanced phosphorylations reached a maximum within 30 min, were maintained for 30 min more, and vanished after 120 min of TSH incubation. TSH dose-responses exhibited half-maximal and maximal effects at 1 and 10 pM, respectively. In vitro, insulin as well as IGF-I receptors purified from cells treated with 10 pM TSH also exhibited 2-fold enhanced receptor autophosphorylation and kinase activity toward the exogenous substrate poly(Glu,Tyr) (4:1). At variance with TSH, cell incubation with either 8-bromo-cAMP or the protein kinase-C activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate inhibited insulin and IGF-I receptor kinases. In intact cells, TSH stimulation of insulin and IGF-I receptor kinases was accompanied by enhanced turnover of phosphate on autophosphorylated receptors, increased receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, and decreased receptor serine/threonine phosphorylation in response to insulin. Incubation of in vivo labeled insulin and IGF-I receptors with extracts from TSH-treated cells also decreased receptor phosphoserine and phosphothreonine content. Furthermore, preincubation of insulin and IGF-I receptors with extracts from TSH-treated cells enhanced in vitro autophosphorylation. The latter effect was inhibited by the serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitors fluoride and okadaic acid, but not by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor vanadate. The data suggest that in FRTL5 cells, TSH induces the activity of a Ser/Thr protein phosphatase, which dephosphorylates insulin and IGF-I receptors and enhances their endogenous kinases.

In vitro erythroid differentiation of mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells was induced by combinations of topoisomerase and protein kinase inhibitors. Neither inhibitor alone exhibited inducing activity. Although inhibitors of topoisomerases I and II were equally effective in the synergistic induction of erythroid differentiation, only inhibitors of tyrosine kinases, not of serine/threonine kinases, exhibited synergistic activity. The erythroid differentiation induced by the combination of topoisomerase and protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors was distinguished from that induced by typical erythroid inducing agents such as DMSO or HMBA by (1) earlier hemoglobin accumulation in the cells and (2) insensitivity to specific inhibitors (dexamethasone and sodium orthovanadate) of MEL cell differentiation.

We have previously demonstrated that growth hormone (GH) promotes an increase in tyrosine kinase activity associated with the GH receptor. To gain insight into the role of GH-dependent tyrosine kinase activity in signaling by GH, we investigated the possibility that GH might stimulate MAP kinase, a serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase thought to be a common element in tyrosine kinase-initiated response cascades. Treatment of 3T3-F442A fibroblasts with 100 ng/ml GH results in a 3-6-fold increase in the ability of cell-free extracts to phosphorylate MAP-2 and myelin basic protein. GH-stimulated kinase activity is unaffected by heparin, H7, or cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor peptide, partially reduced by staurosporin and inhibited by fluoride and calcium ions, indicating that the kinase is not protein kinase C or A, casein kinase, or a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. Based on gel permeation chromatography, the molecular mass of the GH-stimulated MAP kinase is approximately kDa. Furthermore, anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies revealed the GH-dependent appearance of two phosphotyrosine-containing proteins in cell-free lysates of GH-treated cells that co-migrate with proteins recognized by anti-MAP kinase antibodies. The GH-dependent increase in MAP kinase activity displays a biphasic time course and is dependent on the concentration of GH applied to the cells. GH-dependent MAP kinase activity, partially purified by Mono-Q chromatography, is inactivated by treatment with alkaline phosphatase. Addition of H7 to the cells prior to the addition of GH has no effect, whereas addition of H8 increases MAP kinase activity in control cells with no effect in GH-treated cells, indicating that protein kinase C is unlikely to be an intermediary in the GH-dependent stimulation of MAP kinase activity. These findings indicate that signaling by GH in 3T3-F443A cells may, at least in part, utilize a kinase cascade similar to those that have been proposed for other membrane receptors with associated tyrosine kinase activity.

Calmodulin is the major intracellular Ca(2+)-binding protein, providing Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of numerous intracellular enzymes. The phosphorylation of calmodulin may provide an additional mechanism for modulating its function as a signal transducer. Phosphocalmodulin has been identified in tissues and cells, and calmodulin is phosphorylated both in vitro and in intact cells by various enzymes. Phosphorylation of calmodulin on serine/threonine residues by casein kinase II decreases its ability to activate both myosin-light-chain kinase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. For myosin-light-chain kinase the primary effect is an inhibition of the Vmax. of the reaction, with no apparent change in the concentration at which half-maximal velocity is attained (K0.5) for either Ca2+ or calmodulin. In contrast, for phosphodiesterase, phosphorylation of calmodulin significantly increases the K0.5 for calmodulin without noticeably altering the Vmax. or the K0.5 for Ca2+. The higher the stoichiometry of phosphorylation of calmodulin, the greater the inhibition of calmodulin-stimulated activity for both enzymes. Therefore the phosphorylation of calmodulin by casein kinase II appears to provide a Ca(2+)-independent mechanism whereby calmodulin regulates at least two important target enzymes, myosin-light-chain kinase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

The structure of the cyclic GMP-binding domain of the cyclic GMP-gated ion channel from bovine retinal rod photoreceptors has been modeled by analogy to the crystal structure of the homologous cyclic AMP-binding domain of catabolite gene activator protein (CAP). The modeled cyclic GMP-binding domain has a three-residue deletion and a five-residue insertion between beta strands compared to CAP. The major interactions of the ion channel with cyclic GMP are similar to those observed for cyclic AMP bound to CAP and predicted for cGMP bound to the cGMP-dependent protein kinase: Gly 543 and Glu 544 make hydrogen-bond interactions with the ribose 2'-OH, Arg 559 forms an ion pair with the charged phosphate oxygen, and Thr 560 forms hydrogen-bond interactions with an exocyclic phosphate oxygen and with the 2-amino group of cGMP. Three additional potential interactions were predicted from the model structure. Ile 545 O and Ser 546 OH form hydrogen-bond interactions with an exocyclic phosphate oxygen, and Phe 533 may interact with the aromatic ring of cGMP. This model is in agreement with both the analogue binding experiments and the mutational analysis of Thr 560.

Expression of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) BZLF1 gene product ZEBRA is a first step in the cascade of the virus-productive cycle. ZEBRA protein was detected by immunoblotting as a single band at 38 kDa in Akata cells after crosslinkage of membrane immunoglobulin G (IgG) with anti-IgG antibody. Immunoprecipitation of [32P]phosphate-labeled, anti-IgG-stimulated Akata cells with anti-ZEBRA antibody showed that ZEBRA was phosphorylated. Phosphoamino acid analysis demonstrated phosphorylation of serine, but not threonine or tyrosine, and tryptic-peptide mapping showed multiple phosphorylated peptides of ZEBRA. Treatment with 8-bromo cAMP and blockage of phosphodiesterase by theophylline in anti-IgG-stimulated cells increased the phosphorylation of three ZEBRA peptides. Incubation with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) reduced the phosphorylation of these three ZEBRA peptides, while treatment with staurosporine, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, enhanced their phosphorylations. These data suggest that activation of PKC with TPA induces the ZEBRA dephosphorylation and that activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A enhances the ZEBRA phosphorylation at the specific sites.

Mammalian RNA polymerase II contains at the C terminus of its largest subunit an unusual domain consisting of 52 tandem repeats of the consensus sequence Tyr-Ser-Pro-Thr-Ser-Pro-Ser. The phosphorylation of this domain is thought to play an important role in the transition of RNA polymerase II from a preinitiation complex to an elongating complex. The unphosphorylated form of RNA polymerase II is designated IIA, whereas the phosphorylated form is designated IIO. In an effort to determine the consequence of C-terminal domain phosphorylation on complex formation, 32P-labeled RNA polymerases IIA and IIO were prepared and examined for their ability to form a stable preinitiation complex on the adenovirus-2 major late promoter in the presence of a reconstituted HeLa cell transcription extract. Preinitiation complexes were formed in the absence of ATP and purified from free RNA polymerase II by chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B. The state of phosphorylation of the largest subunit was monitored by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the transcriptional activity was determined by assaying specific transcript formation upon the addition of nucleotides and a competing DNA template. RNA polymerase IIA was recovered in transcriptionally active complexes in reactions in which the input enzyme was RNA polymerase IIA. In reactions with RNA polymerase IIO as the input enzyme, no IIO was recovered in excluded fractions that normally contain preinitiation complex. In reactions with equimolar amounts of RNA polymerases IIO and IIA, purified preinitiation complexes contained almost exclusively RNA polymerase HA. These results support the idea that RNA polymerase II containing an unphosphorylated C-terminal domain preferentially associates with the adenovirus-2 major late promoter. The state of phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain can, therefore, directly influence preinitiation complex formation. We also report here the presence of an activity in HeLa cell extracts that catalyzes dephosphorylation of the C-terminal domain, thereby converting RNA polymerase IIO to IIA. This C-terminal domain phosphatase is specific in that it does not catalyze the dephosphorylation of a serine residue phosphorylated by casein kinase II. The presence of a C-terminal domain phosphatase in in vitro transcription reactions containing RNA polymerase IIO results in the formation of RNA polymerase IIA. This RNA polymerase IIA associates preferentially with preinitiation complexes.
