The control of protein synthesis by hemin in rabbit reticulocytes is mediated by the formation of a high molecular weight protein inhibitor of polypeptide chain initiation, termed the hemin-controlled translational repressor, from a presynthesized prorepressor. The prorepressor, purified approx. 600-fold, was used to study the mechanism of hemin-controlled translational repressor formation. When the prorepressor is converted to the hemin-controlled translational repressor, either by prolonged warming in the absence of hemin or by incubation with N-ethylmaleimide for 5 min, and then incubated briefly with [gamma-32P]-ATP and Mg2+, a protein that migrates as a 100 000 molecular weight component on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels becomes phosphorylated. The extent of phosphorylation of this component is directly proportional to the amount of prorepressor converted to the hemin-controlled translational repressor. In addition, the 100 000 molecular weight protein is not labeled when phosphorylation is attempted with the prorepressor or prorepressor warmed in the presence of hemin, indicating that the protein kinase responsible is probably the hemin-controlled translational repressor. Since the 100 000 molecular protein copurifies with the prorepressor and since the phosphorylation reaction is very rapid (50% complete within 30 s at 34 degrees C), relatively insensitive to dilution, and behaves like an intramolecular reaction, the data suggest that the hemin-controlled translational repressor, once activated, may autophosphorylate a 100 000 molecular weight subunit of itself. Approx. 5 mol phosphate are incorporated per mol of 100 000 molecular weight protein, when the prorepressor is completely converted to the hemin-controlled translational repressor by N-ethylmaleimide. Neither the rate of conversion of prorepressor to the hemin-controlled translational repressor nor the subsequent phosphorylation of the 100 000 molecular weight protein is enhanced by cyclic AMP or reduced by incubation with 3':5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, indicating that cyclic AMP plays no role in hemin-controlled translational repressor formation.

Studies are presented on the influence of polyamines on prostatic chromatin- and non-histone-protein-associated protein kinase reactions involving both exogenous and endogenous substrates. The activities toward the model acidic protein substrate, dephosphophosvitin, were maximal at 160--200mM-NaCl (or -KCl or -NH4Cl). Under these conditions, spermidine and spermine added in concentrations up to 2mM were essentially without effect. However, without addition of NaCl to the medium, marked stimulation of these reactions was elicited by these polyamines at 1--2mM concentrations. The stimulatory effects were not due to non-specific changes in the ionic strength or to substitution of spermine for Mg2+, as maximal stimulation by 1 mM-spermine was observed only at optimal (2--4mM) Mg2+ concentrations. Qualitatively similar effects of polyamines were observed with enzyme preparations from the prostates of castrated rats, and with chromatin and non-histone-protein preparations from other tissues besides ventral prostate. When phosphorylation of endogenous non-histone proteins of the chromatin was measured, spermine stimulated both the initial rates and the final extent of transphosphorylation, even in the presence of optimal concentration of NaCl. By contrast, spermine or spermidine had no effect on the chromatin- and non-histone-protein-associated protein kinase reactions determined with lysine-rich histones as substrates. Chemically NN-dimethylated dephosphophosvitin was a less active substrate for the chromatin-associated protein kinase, but its phosphorylation was more markedly stimulated by spermine in comparison with unmodified dephosphophosvitin. These observations hint that the polyamine stimulations of the various protein kinase reactions may be due to effects on the conformations of the non-histone protein substrates rather than on the kinases themselves.

Triiodothyronine (T3) administration to thyroidectomized rats induces a significant increase in the nucleolus-associated protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) activity. The general properties of the protein kinase solubilized from liver nucleoli have been investigated. Mg2+ (20 mM) is essential for the reaction and an appropriate concentration of NaCl (100 mM) is required to achieve maximal phosphorylation rates. The optimal pH for casein phosphorylation is 7.6. The kinase phosphorylates casein more efficiently than phosvitin and displays an almost undetectable activity towards histones and protamine. No significant stimulation of the kinase activity by cyclic AMP has been detected. The apparent Km values for casein and ATP are 1.5 mg/ml and 1.5-10(-5) M, respectively, and are not affected by the hormone administration.

One ribosomal protein kinase activity and 3 soluble protein kinase activities have been identified in plasma cell tumors by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. We have shown phosphorylation in vivo and in vitro of a protein fraction from the ribosomal KCl wash which we have termed 'PPx fraction'. Phosphorylation of this protein fraction has been obtained in vitro with the ribosome-associated protein kinase. We have determined for the ribosomal protein kinase the following characteristics. 1. It is an Mg2+-dependent enzyme that transfers the gamma-phosphate from ATP into phosphoseryl and phosphothreonyl residues of the substrate. 2. It has a wide substrate specificity. Like the soluble protein kinases it catalyses the phosphorylation of several proteins like histone, phosvitin, casein and ribosomal proteins but it differs from the main soluble kinases (I, II) by the fact that it catalyses specifically the phosphorylation at least of one of the ribosomal KCl wash proteins. On dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gels this protein has a molecular weight of approximately 90000 and it is released from ribosomes under conditions commonly employed for extraction of initiation factors. 3. The ribosome-associated protein kinase is not stimulated by the addition of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate. 4. KCl has no effect, NaCl has a weak effect on the phosphorylation, Mn2+ and Ca2+ are inhibitors. 5. ADP has been found to be a competitive inhibitor. 6. The maximum velocity of the ribosomal protein-kinase-catalysed reaction is 0.65 nmol of 32P incorporated in the KCl wash protein per min and per mg protein. 7. The apparent Km for the ribosomal KCl wash protein as substrate is 0.71 mg/ml and the Km for ATP is 94 muM. 8. The molecular weight of the ribosomal protein kinase, estimated by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide-dodecylsulfate gels, is 60000 and corresponds probably to a catalytic subunit.

The paradigm that nucleocytoplasmic transport of ions occurs without a diffusional barrier has been challenged by the recent demonstration with patch-clamp techniques of the existence of ion channels in the nuclear envelope of murine zygotes and hepatocytes. This report demonstrates the existence of nuclear ion channels (NIC) in murine ventricular cardiac myocytes. NIC conductance (gamma), calculated from current histogram peaks, was 106-532 pS at 22-36 degrees C. In nucleus-attached patches, replacement of cytoplasmic K+ with Na+ reduced NIC activity within 30 s, suggesting that intranuclear-delimited mechanisms mediate this phenomenon. In excised, inside-out patches K+ was as permeable as Na+ through NIC. NIC activity was observed in 0-4 mM Mg2+ and/or ATP2-, with or without 0-1 mM Ca2+, indicating a minor direct role of these ions. However, in non-responsive excised inside-out patches, NIC activity appeared when the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase was applied to the nucleoplasmic side of the patch, in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP2-, indicating an important role for phosphorylation-dependent process(es) in NIC function--an observation supported by the depressing effects of protein kinase inhibitor on responsive NIC. The concept that nucleopore complexes are solely responsible for nucleocytoplamic transport leads to the speculation that these structures are the physical substrate for NIC.

Canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles contain intrinsic protein phosphatase activity, which can dephosphorylate phospholamban and regulate calcium transport. This phosphatase has been suggested to be a mixture of both type 1 and type 2 enzymes (E. G. Kranias and J. Di Salvo, 1986, J. Biol. Chem. 261, 10,029-10,032). In the present study the sarcoplasmic reticulum phosphatase activity was solubilized with n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside and purified by sequential chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, polylysine-agarose, heparin-agarose, and DEAE-Sephadex. A single peak of phosphatase activity was eluted from each column and it was coincident for both phospholamban and phosphorylase a, used as substrates. The partially purified phosphatase could dephosphorylate the sites on phospholamban phosphorylated by either cAMP-dependent or calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase(s). Enzymatic activity was inhibited by inhibitor-2 and by okadaic acid (I50 = 10-20 nM), using either phosphorylase a or phospholamban as substrates. The sensitivity of the phosphatase to inhibitor-2 or okadaic acid was similar for the two sites on phospholamban, phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent and the calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinases. Phospholamban phosphatase activity was enhanced (40%) by Mg2+ or Mn2+ (3 mM) while Ca2+ (0.1-10 microM) had no effect. These characteristics suggest that the phosphatase associated with cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum is a type 1 enzyme, and this activity may participate in the regulation of Ca2+ transport through dephosphorylation of phospholamban in cardiac muscle.

The phosphoenolpyruvate (PPrv) carboxylase isozyme involved in C4 photosynthesis undergoes a day/night reversible phosphorylation process in leaves of the C4 plant, Sorghum. Ser8 of the target enzyme oscillates between a high (light) and a low (dark) phosphorylation status. Both in vivo and in vitro, phosphorylation of dark-form carboxylase was accompanied by an increase in the apparent Ki of the feedback inhibitor L-malate and an increase in Vmax. Feeding detached leaves various photosynthetic inhibitors, i.e. 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, gramicidin and DL-glyceraldehyde, prevented PPrv carboxylase phosphorylation in the light, thus suggesting that the cascade involves the photosynthetic apparatus as the light signal receptor, and presumably has the electron transfer chain and the Calvin-Benson cycle as components in the signal-transduction chain. Two protein-serine kinases capable of phosphorylating PPrv carboxylase in vitro have been partially purified from light-adapted leaves. One was isolated on a calmodulin-Sepharose column; it was calcium-dependent but did not require calmodulin for activity. The other was purified on a blue-dextran-agarose column and the only Me2+ required for activity was Mg2+. In reconstituted phosphorylation assays, only the latter caused the expected decrease in malate sensitivity of PPrv carboxylase suggesting that this protein is the genuine PPrv-carboxylase-kinase. Desalted extracts from light-adapted leaves possessed a considerably greater phosphorylation capacity with immunopurified dephosphorylated PPrv carboxylase as substrate than did dark extracts. This light stimulation was insensitive to type 2A protein phosphatase inhibitors, okadaic acid and microcystin-LR, which suggests that the kinase is a controlled step in the cascade which leads to phosphorylation of PPrv carboxylase. The higher phosphorylation capacity of light-adapted leaf tissue was nullified by pretreatment with the cytosolic protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide. Thus, protein turnover is involved as part of the mechanism controlling the activity of the kinase purified on blue-dextran-agarose. However, no information is available with respect to the specific nature of the link between the above-mentioned light transducing steps and the protein kinase that achieves the physiological response. Finally, the in vivo phosphorylation site (Ser8) in the N-terminal region of the C4 type Sorghum PPrv carboxylase is also present in a non-photosynthetic form of the Sorghum enzyme (Ser7), as deduced by cDNA sequence analysis.

Growth of S49 wild-type (WT) lymphoma cells for 24 hr with 3 nM epinephrine produces a very pronounced attenuation of cAMP accumulation in response to subsequent challenges with much higher concentrations of the catecholamine [Mol. Pharmacol. 36:459-464 (1989)]. We report here the effects of this treatment, in S49 WT, cyc-, and kin- cells, on the responsiveness of adenylate cyclase in partially purified membranes. The desensitization of adenylate cyclase in the S49 WT cells after 24-hr treatment was homologous, in that only responses to epinephrine were attenuated. The EC50 for epinephrine stimulation of adenylate cyclase was 54 +/- 8% (mean +/- standard error) higher in treated cells than in controls, and there was a 32 +/- 3% reduction in Vmax at supramaximal epinephrine concentrations. The treatment also caused a 34 +/- 9% reduction in the levels of the beta-adrenergic receptor (beta AR), which was of a sufficient magnitude to account for the homologous desensitization seen. The 24-hr treatment had similar effects in S49 kin- cells, where we observed a 28 +/- 4% decrease in Vmax, a 35 +/- 6% increase in EC50 for epinephrine stimulation of adenylate cyclase, and a 25 +/- 3% decrease in beta AR. In contrast, the 24-hr treatment had no measurable effect on adenylate cyclase activity in S49 cyc- cells. That is, the responsivity of adenylate cyclase reconstituted with Gs from S49 WT cells was not attenuated, although beta AR levels were significantly decreased. The desensitization of S49 cells with the 24-hr treatment was additive with that mediated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK). Further, unlike the cAPK-mediated attenuation, it was relatively insensitive to the levels of free Mg2+ in the adenylate cyclase reaction mixture. The characteristics of the desensitization produced by 24-hr treatment with 3 nM epinephrine, together with the observation that it is similar in S49 WT and kin- cells, demonstrates that the process in WT cells is, at least in part, independent of the rapid cAPK-mediated desensitization. It is also most likely that it is unrelated to the rapid cAMP-independent processes involving sequestration/internalization or the beta AR kinase, because those mechanisms require much higher receptor occupancies than the 0.2% occurring with 3 nM epinephrine. Thus, 24-hr treatment appears to produce attenuation of adenylate cyclase by causing down-regulation of beta AR, without involving any other known form of desensitization.

Isoproterenol increased the Mg2+ content of hepatocytes after injection into rats or after addition to collagenase-dispersed hepatocytes. cAMP also the increased cellular Mg2+ content of isolated hepatocytes. This effect was prevented by staurosporine. Phorbol ester had no effect on the Mg2+ content of isolated hepatocytes, and after injection of isoproterenol into rats, protein kinase C of liver was not affected. It was concluded that isoproterenol induced long-term Mg2+ influx via the activation of protein kinase A which can be inhibited by staurosporine.

In order to define the overall kinetic mechanism of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit and also to elaborate the kinetic mechanism in the direction of peptide phosphorylation, we have determined its kinetic mechanism in the direction of MgADP phosphorylation. Studies of initial velocity as a function of uncomplexed Mg2+ (Mgf) in the absence and presence of dead-end inhibitors were used to define the kinetic mechanism. Data are consistent with the overall kinetic mechanism in the direction of MgADP phosphorylation being random with both the pathways allowed, i.e., the pathway in which MgADP binds to the enzyme prior to phosphorylated peptide and the pathway in which phosphorylated peptide binds to enzyme prior to MgADP. In addition, depending on the concentration of Mgf, one or the other pathway predominates. At low (0.5 mM) Mgf, the mechanism is steady-state ordered with the pathway in which phosphorylated peptide binds first being preferred; at high (10 mM) Mgf, the kinetic mechanism is equilibrium ordered, and the pathway in which MgADP binds first is preferred. This change in mechanism to equilibrium ordered at higher concentration of Mgf is due to an increase in affinity of the enzyme for MgADP and a decrease in affinity for the phosphorylated peptide. The Haldane relationship gives a Keq of 2 +/- 1 x 10(3) at pH 7.2, in agreement with the values obtained from 31P NMR (1.6 +/- 0.8 x 10(3)) and direct determination of reactant concentrations at equilibrium (3.5 +/- 0.6 x 10(3)).
