In human erythrocytes Ser/Thr- and Tyr-phosphorylations of cytoplasmic domain of band 3 are catalyzed by casein kinase I and Tyr-protein kinase respectively, both distributed between cytosol and membrane structures. The results reported here show that purified cytosolic Tyr-protein kinase activity, assayed on added substrates such as poly(Glu,Tyr)4:1 and isolated chymotryptic fragments of band 3 cytoplasmic domain (cdb3), is potently inhibited by PIP and even more by PIP2. Similar inhibitory effects are displayed by these polyphosphoinositides also on the endogenous Tyr-phosphorylation of band 3, when they are added to the isolated native membranes, thus suggesting their involvement in regulating in-vivo Tyr-phosphorylation of membrane proteins.

Human interleukin-9 (IL-9) was originally identified and cloned based on its stimulatory effect on proliferation of human myeloid cell line, M07e. IL-9 synergized with Steel factor, the ligand for the c-kit product, to stimulate M07e cell proliferation. To investigate potential mechanisms for this, IL-9 was assessed for effects on protein tyrosine kinase activities in M07e cells by immunoblotting with anti-phosphotyrosine monoclonal antibody; results were compared with those of Steel factor alone and in combination with IL-9, and those of 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Recombinant human IL-9 (10 ng/mL) rapidly and transiently induced or enhanced at least four tyrosine phosphorylated protein bands with molecular weights of 105, 97, 85, and 81 Kd. This tyrosine phosphorylation pattern was different from that generated by recombinant murine Steel factor or TPA stimulation and the combination of IL-9 and Steel factor did not change the IL-9-induced pattern. IL-9-induced tyrosine phosphorylated bands were completely blocked by treatment of IL-9 with anti-IL-9 antibody under conditions that also neutralized the synergistic effect of IL-9 with Steel factor on M07e cell proliferation. Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocked phosphorylation of IL-9 and Steel factor-induced bands. Unlike Steel factor or TPA, IL-9 did not appear to stimulate phosphorylation of 42-Kd mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase or Raf-1, or enhance MAP kinase activity. MAP kinase and Raf-1 are serine/threonine kinases that are phosphorylated and activated by many growth factors and by agonists for protein kinase C. While the combination of IL-9 plus SLF did not appear to induce phosphorylation of new bands not already seen with either IL-9 or SLF alone, or enhance the phosphorylation of those bands seen with either cytokine alone, the results suggest that IL-9 activates specific and unique signal transduction pathways.

Screening of mouse cDNA expression libraries with antibodies to phosphotyrosine resulted in repeated isolation of cDNAs that encode a novel mammalian protein kinase of 774 amino acids, termed Nek1. Nek1 contains an N-terminal protein kinase domain which is most similar (42% identity) to the catalytic domain of NIMA, a protein kinase which controls initiation of mitosis in Aspergillus nidulans. In addition, both Nek1 and NIMA have a long, basic C-terminal extension, and are therefore similar in overall structure. Despite its identification with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, Nek1 contains sequence motifs characteristic of protein serine/threonine kinases. The Nek1 kinase domain, when expressed in bacteria, phosphorylated exogenous substrates primarily on serine/threonine, but also on tyrosine, indicating that Nek1 is a dual specificity kinase with the capacity to phosphorylate all three hydroxyamino acids. Like NIMA, Nek1 preferentially phosphorylated beta-casein in vitro. In situ RNA analysis of nek1 expression in mouse gonads revealed a high level of expression in both male and female germ cells, with a distribution consistent with a role in meiosis. These results suggest that Nek1 is a mammalian relative of the fungal NIMA cell cycle regulator.

Entry into mitosis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is negatively regulated by the wee1+ gene, which encodes a protein kinase with serine-, theonine-, and tyrosine-phosphorylating activities. The wee1+ kinase negatively regulates mitosis by phosphorylating p34cdc2 on tyrosine 15, thereby inactivating the p34cdc2-cyclin B complex. The human homolog of the wee1+ gene (WEE1Hu) was overproduced in bacteria and assayed in an in vitro system. Unlike its fission yeast homolog, the product of the WEE1Hu gene encoded a tyrosine-specific protein kinase. The human WEE1 kinase phosphorylated the p34cdc2-cyclin B complex on tyrosine 15 but not on threonine 14 in vitro and inactivated the p34cdc2-cyclin B kinase. This inhibition was reversed by the human Cdc25C protein, which catalyzed the dephosphorylation of p34cdc2. These results indicate that the product of the WEE1Hu gene directly regulates the p34cdc2-cyclin B complex in human cells and that a kinase other than that encoded by WEE1Hu phosphorylates p34cdc2 on threonine 14.

Signal transduction in the nervous system is heavily dependent on the three multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinases, PKA, PKC, and CaM-KII. Recent studies have furthered our understanding of how the multiple isoforms of these kinases and their subcellular localizations, regulatory properties, and substrate determinants are important for the specificity of kinase functions.

A dominant negative mutant of Ras, M17 Ras, was used to study the role of Ras in receptor coupling of Raf-1 and B-Raf protein serine/threonine kinases (PSKs). We found that mutant Ras blocks serum- and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate-induced activation of Raf-1 kinase in NIH3T3 cells and Raf-1 as well as B-Raf PSK stimulation by nerve growth factor (NGF) in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells. Mitogen stimulation of Raf kinase was measured by determination of Raf hyperphosphorylation and activity towards exogenous substrates and both of these events were inhibited in cells expressing M17 Ras. In contrast, tyrosine phosphorylation of a direct substrate of activated tyrosine kinase receptors, phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC-gamma 1), was unaffected. These data indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 is not sufficient for growth induction in NIH3T3 cells and that Ras mediates signal transfer from activated membrane receptors to Raf kinases in the cytosol. As activated Raf induced differentiation in PC12 cells expressing M17 Ras we conclude that Raf kinase activation may be sufficient to account for this aspect of NGF function.

The cdc2 protein kinase phosphorylates elongation factor-1 gamma (EF-1 gamma) during meiotic maturation of Xenopus oocytes. A synthetic peptide P2: PKKETPKKEKPA matching the cDNA-deduced sequence of EF-1 gamma was an in vitro substrate for cdc2 protein kinase and inhibited phosphorylation of EF-1 gamma. Tryptic hydrolysis of EF-1 gamma and the P2 peptide, both phosphorylated by cdc2 protein kinase, resulted in multiple partial digestion products generated by the presence of barely hydrolysable bonds. The two peptides obtained from the hydrolysis of EF-1 gamma comigrated exactly in two-dimensional separation with two of the P2 peptide hydrolysates. EF-1 gamma therefore contains one unique phosphoacceptor for cdc2 protein kinase, identified as threonine-230.

We have investigated the role of protracted phosphatase inhibition and the consecutive protracted protein phosphorylation on neuronal viability. We found that in primary cultures of cerebellar granule neurons, the protracted (24-h) inhibition of the serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (EC 3.1.3.16) by treatment of the cultures with okadaic acid (OKA; 5-20 nM) caused neurotoxicity that could be inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7) or by the previous down-regulation of the neuronal protein kinase C (PKC; ATP:protein phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.1.37). PKC was down-regulated by exposure of the cultures for 24 h to 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA). The effect of the drugs used in the viability studies on the pattern of protein phosphorylation was measured by quantitative autoradiography. In particular, the 50- and 80-kDa protein bands showed dramatic changes in the degree of phosphorylation: increase by OKA and brief TPA treatment; decrease by H7 or 24 h of TPA treatment; and inhibition of the OKA-induced increase by H7 or 24 h of TPA treatment. The results suggest that the protracted phosphorylation, in particular that mediated by PKC, may lead to neuronal death and are in line with our previous suggestion that prolonged PKC translocation is operative in glutamate neurotoxicity.

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), are thought to act at an integration point for multiple biochemical signals because they are activated by a wide variety of extracellular signals, rapidly phosphorylated on threonine and tyrosine, and highly conserved. A critical protein kinase lies upstream of MAP kinase and stimulates the enzymatic activity of MAP kinase. The structure of this protein kinase, denoted MEK1, for MAP kinase or ERK kinase, was elucidated from a complementary DNA sequence and shown to be a protein of 393 amino acids (43,500 daltons) that is related most closely in size and sequence to the product encoded by the Schizosaccharomyces pombe byr1 gene. The MEK gene was highly expressed in murine brain, and the product expressed in bacteria phosphorylated the ERK gene product.

Prothymosin alpha (ProT alpha) is a 12.5 kDa acidic polypeptide that is considered to have a nuclear function related to cell proliferation. Inspection of its amino acid sequence revealed the presence of sequences that may serve as targets for phosphorylation by casein kinase-2 (CK-2). ProT alpha isolated from calf thymocytes was phosphorylated in vitro by CK-2. The phosphorylation sites are Ser and Thr residues located among the first 14 amino acid residues in the ProT alpha sequence. Another site that is theoretically suitable for phosphorylation by CK-2, at the C-terminus of the polypeptide, is not, in fact, phosphorylated. Thymosin alpha 1 (T alpha 1), a peptide whose sequence corresponds to the first 28 amino acids of ProT alpha, is also phosphorylated by CK-2 at the same phosphorylation sites as ProT alpha. In cultured splenic lymphocytes ProT alpha was phosphorylated at Thr residues located at positions 7, 12 and/or 13. Based on these observations we conclude that CK-2, or another cellular kinase with similar sequence specificity, is responsible for phosphorylation of ProT alpha in vivo.
