The role of cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation in the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced bursting activity was examined in snail neurons, using the voltage clamp method in combination with the pressure injection technique. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitors, protein kinase inhibitor isolated from rabbit muscle and isoquinolinesulfonamide, inhibited the PTZ-induced negative slope resistance (NSR) in the steady state I-V curve. These inhibitors also suppressed the action of PTZ on the delayed outward potassium current (IKD). This suppression was transiently abolished by intracellular injection of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These findings suggest that cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation may be involved in both the development of the NSR and a reduction of the IKD by PTZ, leading to depolarizing phase of a bursting cycle.

Modulation of the activity of potassium and other ion channels is an essential feature of nervous system function. The open probability of a large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel from rat brain, incorporated into planar lipid bilayers, is increased by the addition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the cytoplasmic side of the channel. This modulation takes place without the addition of protein kinase, requires Mg2+, and is mimicked by an ATP analog that serves as a substrate for protein kinases but not by a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog. Addition of protein phosphatase 1 reverses the modulation by MgATP. Thus, there may be an endogenous protein kinase activity firmly associated with this K+ channel. Some ion channels may exist in a complex that contains regulatory protein kinases and phosphatases.

We used the patch-clamp technique to study the effects of ATP on the small-conductance potassium channel in the apical membrane of rat cortical collecting duct (CCD). This channel has a high open probability (0.96) in the cell-attached mode but activity frequently disappeared progressively within 1-10 min after channel excision (channel "run-down"). Two effects of ATP were observed. Using inside-out patches, low concentrations of ATP (0.05-0.1 mM) restored channel activity in the presence of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). In contrast, high concentrations (1 mM) of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) reduced the open probability (Po) of the channel in inside-out patches from 0.96 to 0. 1.2 mM adenosine diphosphate (ADP) also blocked channel activity completely, but 2 mM adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate (AMP-PNP), a nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue, reduced Po only from 0.96 to 0.87. The half-maximal inhibition (Ki) of ATP and ADP was 0.5 and 0.6 mM, respectively, and the Hill coefficient of both ATP and ADP was close to 3. Addition of 0.2 or 0.4 mM ADP shifted the Ki of ATP to 1.0 and 2.0 mM, respectively. ADP did not alter the Hill coefficient. Reduction of the bath pH from 7.4 to 7.2 reduced the Ki of ATP to 0.3 mM. In contrast, a decrease of the free Mg2+ concentration from 1.6 mM to 20 microM increased the Ki of ATP to 1.6 mM without changing the Hill coefficient; ADP was still able to relieve the ATP-induced inhibition of channel activity over this low range of free Mg2+ concentrations. The blocking effect of ATP on channel activity in inside-out patches could be attenuated by adding exogenous PKA catalytic subunit to the bath. The dual effects of ATP on the potassium channel can be explained by assuming that (a) ATP is a substrate for PKA that phosphorylates the potassium channel to maintain normal function. (b) High concentrations of ATP inhibit the channel activity; we propose that the ATP-induced blockade results from inhibition of PKA-induced channel phosphorylation.

The TRH secretory responsiveness of the pancreatic islet cell clusters from newborn rat in organ culture was studied. Basal TRH secretion was stable over a 9-day period. The response to various secretagogues was tested on day 4. TRH secretion was stimulated by high potassium-induced depolarization and also through both cAMP and protein kinase-C dependent pathways. Like insulin, TRH release was stimulated by glucose and arginine and inhibited by somatostatin. These data suggest the existence of a common mechanism for TRH and insulin secretion by the pancreatic beta-cells.

The sulphated octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK-8S) was found to cause a dose-dependent increase in the basal release of aspartate, glycine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid from the striatum and the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH). No effect on amino acid release was observed after electrical (VMH) or potassium (striatum) stimulation. Experiments performed using the CCKB-selective antagonist L-365,260 and the CCKA-selective antagonist L-364,718 suggested that this action of CCK-8S was mediated via the CCKB receptor. The ability of CCK-8S to evoke amino acid release was not dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium, though the effect was abolished by tetrodotoxin. Inhibition of protein kinase activity by staurosporine prevented the excitatory effects of CCK-8S on amino acid release.

We evaluated whether GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) are involved in responses of resistance arterial smooth muscle to contractile agonists. We therefore pretreated isolated sympathectomized mesenteric resistance arteries of the rat with pertussis toxin (PTX) and recorded their contractile responses to aluminium fluoride, endothelin, high potassium, phenylephrine, phorbol myristate acetate, serotonin and vasopressin. PTX reduced contractile responses to agonists with the following order of potency: phenylephrine = serotonin greater than vasopressin = endothelin. The toxin reduced responses to phenylephrine in both the presence and absence of extracellular Ca2+. In Ca2(+)-depleted vessels that were exposed to phenylephrine, PTX virtually abolished responses to Ca2+ while hardly affecting responses to Ca2+ in the presence of endothelin. Also aluminium fluoride and phorbol myristate acetate induced contractions. These were dependent on extracellular Ca2+ and inhibited by felodipine. PTX reduced responses to aluminium fluoride but not those to phorbol myristate acetate. These data indicate that PTX sensitive G-proteins are involved in both influx of Ca2+ and release of intracellular Ca2+ following alpha 1-adrenergic and serotonergic stimulation of resistance arteries. The role of G-proteins in stimulated Ca2+ influx could involve a direct effect on calcium channels although an indirect effect through protein kinase-C can not be entirely excluded. The persistance of contractile responses to vasopressin and endothelin following PTX suggests that these agonists engage different pathways to induce contraction or have a higher efficacy in activating similar G-proteins.

1. Receptor-mediated modulation of the delayed outward potassium current (IK) was investigated in guinea-pig single ventricular cells by using whole-cell voltage clamp and intracellular dialysis. 2. Isoprenaline increased IK in a dose-dependent manner with a half-maximum dose of 1.8 X 10(-8) M. Isoprenaline (10(-6) M) maximally increased IK by a factor of 2.85. This effect did not depend on the concentration of intracellular Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i). 3. External application of 10(-5) M-forskolin and internal application of 5 X 10(-5) M-cyclic AMP or 5 X 10(-6) M of the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) also increased IK about 3-fold. The effect of isoprenaline on IK was masked by previous application of cyclic AMP. 4. All the above phosphorylating agents increased the amplitude of IK without a significant change in the current kinetics. 5. In the presence of 10(-5) M-forskolin, an additional application of 10(-8) M-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), produced a further increase in IK, suggesting that the active sites of PKA and PKC on the IK channel are different. 6. Acetylcholine (10(-6) M) suppressed IK when the current was previously enhanced by 2 X 10(-8) M-isoprenaline, but had little effect in the absence of isoprenaline. 7. We conclude that beta-adrenergic modulation of IK is mediated by cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation but not by an increase in [Ca2+]i, that PKA and PKC enhance IK independently, and that acetylcholine antagonizes beta-adrenergic stimulation of IK most probably by inhibiting adenylate cyclase.

The response of sodium, potassium-adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase was examined in membranes obtained from rabbit iris-ciliary body. In the presence of the protein kinase together with 10(-5) M cAMP, Na,K-ATPase activity was reduced. No change in Na,K-ATPase activity was detected in response to the protein kinase without added cAMP. Likewise cAMP alone did not alter Na,K-ATPase activity. Reduction of Na,K-ATPase activity was also observed in the presence of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit. The response of the enzyme to the kinase catalytic subunit was also examined in membranes obtained from rabbit ciliary processes. In the presence of 8 micrograms/ml of the catalytic subunit, ciliary process Na,K-ATPase activity was reduced by more than 50%. To examine whether other ATPases were suppressed by the protein kinase, calcium-stimulated ATPase activity was examined; its activity was stimulated by the catalytic subunit. To test whether the response of the ciliary process Na,K-ATPase is unique, experiments were also performed using membrane preparations from rabbit lens epithelium or rabbit kidney; the catalytic subunit significantly reduced the activity of Na,K-ATPase from the kidney but not the lens. These Na,K-ATPase studies suggest that in the iris-ciliary body, cAMP may alter sodium pump activity. In parallel 86Rb uptake studies, we observed that ouabain-inhibitable potassium uptake by intact pieces of iris-ciliary body was reduced by exogenous dibutryl cAMP or by forskolin.

The effect of phorbol esters and so the involvement of Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C;PKC) in the release of acetylcholine (ACh) was studied using Torpedo electric organ synaptosomes. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), a known activator of PKC, induced neurotransmitter release in a concentration-dependent manner and increased the potassium-evoked release of ACh. The effect of TPA was shown to be independent of the extrasynaptosomal calcium concentration. TPA-induced ACh release was reversed by H-7, an inhibitor of PKC activity. This drug showed no effect on potassium-evoked ACh release. Botulinum toxin, a strong blocker of potassium-induced ACh release in that synaptosomal preparation, showed no inhibitory effect on the TPA-induced ACh release. Our results suggest that activation of PKC potentiates the release of an ACh pool that is not releasable by potassium depolarization, independently of the extracellular calcium concentration.

Isolated perfused rabbit ear arteries contract when treated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of the calcium-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase or C-kinase. Under conditions where the calcium concentration in the perfusate is 1.5 mM and the potassium concentration is 4.8 mM, there is a latent period of 70 +/- 19 min (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 10) between TPA addition and the onset of the contractile response. Once initiated, the contractile response is progressive and sustained. When perfusion conditions are altered in such a way as to modify calcium flux across the plasma membrane (i.e., raising the extracellular calcium concentration to 2.5 mM Ca++, raising the extracellular potassium concentration to 10 mM, and/or preincubating the tissues in media containing 100 nM Bay K 8644, a potent calcium channel agonist), the latency period between TPA addition and initiation of the contractile response is significantly reduced (2.5 mM Ca++, 37 +/- 7 min; 10 mM K+ and 2.5 mM Ca++, 11 +/- 3 min; 100 nM Bay K 8644 and 1.5 mM Ca++, 20 +/- 7 min; 100 nM Bay K 8644 and 2.5 mM Ca2+, 8.5 +/- 1.7 min; 10 mM K+ and 100 nM Bay K 8644, 11 +/- 5 min). Likewise, the combination of 2.5 mM calcium, 100 nM Bay K 8644, and 3.3 microM ouabain results in a contractile response 4.5 +/- 2.0 min after TPA addition (means +/- S.E.M., n = 4). Control tissues (absence of TPA addition) run simultaneously show no contractile responses to the various Ca++ flux regulators even after 90 min of incubation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
