A unique form of nucleoplasmic and cytoplasmic protein glycosylation, O-linked GlcNAc, has previously been detected, using Gal transferase labeling techniques, on a myriad of proteins (for review see Hart, G. W., Haltiwanger, R. S., Holt, G. D., and Kelly, W. G. (1989a) Annu. Rev. Biochem. 58, 841-874), including many RNA polymerase II transcription factors (Jackson, S. P., and Tjian, R. (1988) Cell 55, 125-133). However, virtually nothing is known about the degree of glycosylation at individual sites, or, indeed, the actual sites of attachment of O-GlcNAc on transcription factors. In this paper we provide rigorous evidence for the occurrence and locations of O-GlcNAc on the c-fos transcription factor, serum response factor (SRF), expressed in an insect cell line. Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) of proteolytic digests of SRF provides evidence for the presence of a single substoichiometric O-GlcNAc residue on each of four peptides isolated after sequential cyanogen bromide, tryptic, and proline specific enzyme digestion: these peptides are 306VSASVSP312, 274GTTSTIQTAP283, 313SAVSSADGTVLK324, and 374DSSTDLTQTSSSGTVTLP391. Using an array of techniques, including manual Edman degradation, aminopeptidase, and elastase digestion, together with FAB-MS, the major sites of O-GlcNAc attachment were shown to be serine residues within short tandem repeat regions. The highest level of glycosylation was found on the SSS tandem repeat of peptide (374-391) which is situated within the transcriptional activation domain of SRF. The other glycosylation sites observed in SRF are located in the region of the protein between the DNA binding domain and the transcriptional activation domain. Glycosylation of peptides (274-283) and (313-324) was found to occur on the serine in the TTST tandem repeat and on serine 316 in the SS repeat, respectively. The lowest level of glycosylation was recovered in peptide (306-312) which lacks tandem repeats. All the glycosylation sites identified in SRF are situated in a relatively short region of the primary sequence close to or within the transcriptional activation domain which is distant from the major sites of phosphorylation catalyzed by casein kinase II.

We used restriction endonuclease digestion of leukocyte DNA to assess the structural integrity of an N-acetylglucosamine beta 1----4 galactosyltransferase (GalTase)-associated (GTA) protein kinase gene in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. This analysis provides evidence that the gross structure of the GTA protein kinase gene locus remains intact in patients with defective galactosylation and that this gene locus is polymorphic both in normal individuals and in patients with RA, although no polymorphisms unique to RA patients were observed. Initial data on the expression of this gene indicate that comparable levels of GTA protein kinase messenger RNA are present in the lymphocytes of normal individuals and RA patients, irrespective of whether lymphocytes were obtained from patients with decreased or normal levels of galactosylation.

In the present study, human islets were isolated by collagenase digestion from the pancreases of three kidney donors. Maintainance of the islets in tissue culture enabled insulin release, glucose oxidation and Ca2+ -calmodulin-dependent protein phosphorylation to be determined using the same islets. Increasing glucose over a range 0-20 mmol/l resulted in a sigmoidal stimulation of insulin release (28.8 +/- 5.2 to 118.4 +/- 25.8 microU . islet-1 . h-1, n = 10; threshold less than 4 mmol/l). There was a marked correlation between the insulin secretory response of the islets to glucose and their rate of glucose oxidation (5.9 +/- 0.3 at glucose 2 mmol/l up to 25.8 +/- 1.8 pmol . islet-1 . h-1 at 20 mmol/l, r = 0.98). N-acetylglucosamine (20 mmol/l) failed to elicit a secretory response from the islets. Stimulation of insulin secretion by glucose was dependent upon the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Extracts of the islets contained a Ca2+ -calmodulin-dependent protein kinase which phosphorylated a 48-kdalton endogenous polypeptide. Myosin light-chain kinase activity was demonstrated in the presence of exogenous myosin light chains. This report demonstrates for the first time the sigmoidal nature of glucose-stimulated insulin release from isolated human islets, and its correlation with enhanced glucose oxidation. Furthermore, this is the first report of the presence of Ca2+ -dependent protein kinases in human islets.

The models proposed for the means whereby the B-cell recognises glucose and related compounds as signals for insulin release and biosynthesis are discussed. The observed correlations between rates of metabolism and insulin release and biosynthesis are consistent with the substrate-site hypothesis. For glucose itself, the enzymes catalysing the phosphorylation of the sugar provide an explanation for the major characteristics of the islet responses, but for N-acetylglucosamine evidence is presented that the sugar transport system fulfils this discriminatory role. Possible mechanisms whereby sugar metabolism may be linked to changes in Ca2+-handling are considered and evidence is given supporting a role for the cytosolic NADPH/NADP+ ratio and the islet content of phosphoenolpyruvate. The nature of the targets for cyclic AMP and Ca2+ is discussed and some properties of islet cAMP-dependent protein kinase are summarised. Evidence is presented for the presence of calmodulin in islets and the possible involvement of calmodulin in stimulus-secretion coupling. On the basis of these considerations a speculative hypothesis for the mechanisms involved in the B-cell responses to glucose is outlined.

During the life cycle of Blastocladiella emersonii, dramatic shifts occur in the sensitivity of the first hexosamine biosynthetic pathway-specific enzyme [amidotransferase; 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate ketol-isomerase (amino-transferring), EC 5.3.1.19] to end product inhibition. These shifts are developmentally correlated with changes in the utilization of the end product (uridine-5'-diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine) for chitin synthesis [Selitrennikoff, C. P., Dalley, N. E. & Sonneborn, D. R. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77, 5998-6002]. Alterations in amidotransferase sensitivity to end product inhibition can be mimicked by in vitro protein dephosphorylation-phosphorylation reactions, as follows: (i) Zoospore end product-inhibitable amidotransferase activity can be converted to a noninhibitable form by an endogenous (zoospore) protein phosphatase (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase EC 3.1.3.16) reaction; this noninhibitable form can be converted back to an inhibitable form either by an endogenous cAMP-independent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) reaction or with an added cAMP-dependent protein kinase. (ii) Noninhibitable amidotransferase activity from growing cells can also be converted to the inhibitable form with added protein kinase.

Phosphophoryns (PPs) are phosphoproteins specific to the dentin matrix and are the major noncollagenous matrix proteins in rat incisor dentin. It has been hypothesized that their phosphate groups are important in dentin mineralization. PPs have many sequences which are substrates for membrane-associated endogenous messenger-independent kinases. The objective of this study was to localize the protein kinases involved in phosphorylating the PPs. Osteoblast-like ROS 17/2.8 cells, which secrete extracellular matrix phosphoproteins, were lysed. After removal of the nuclei and mitochondria by low-speed centrifugation, the membrane associated organelles were isolated at higher speed from the cytosol. The Golgi vesicle and rough microsome fractions were collected from 29-43.7% sucrose density gradients. Each fraction was tested for casein kinase II (CKII) activity using an in vitro phosphorylation assay with PPs as substrate. To characterize and confirm the nature of the components of the sucrose gradient fractions, the activities of specific enzymes such as N-acetylglucosamine galactosyltransferase and cytochrome c reductase, which are exclusively associated with the Golgi and rough microsomes, respectively, were determined. Electron microscopy of the isolated fractions confirmed the enzyme assay characterizations. CKII activity capable of phosphorylating the PP was found in the rough microsome fraction but not in the Golgi. Thus, phosphorylation of the secreted phosphoproteins would appear to take place in the endoplasmic reticulum as a cotranslational event.

An eIF-2 associated 67-kDa protein (p67) protects eIF-2 alpha-subunit from eIF-2 kinase(s) catalyzed phosphorylation and promotes protein synthesis in the presence of active eIF-2 kinase(s). p67 is a glycoprotein and contains multiple O-linked GlcNAc moieties. We have now studied the roles of hemin, p67, and the glycosyl residues on p67 in the regulation of eIF-2 alpha-subunit phosphorylation in reticulocyte lysates. The results are as follows: (i) Both hemin and p67 inhibited HRI (heme-regulated protein synthesis inhibitor) and dsI (double-stranded RNA activated protein synthesis inhibitor) catalyzed phosphorylation of eIF-2 alpha-subunit in vitro. However, only hemin, and not p67, inhibited casein kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of eIF-2 beta-subunit. (ii) Only p67, and not hemin, inhibited eIF-2 alpha-subunit phosphorylation by eIF-2 kinase(s) in reticulocyte lysate. Significant eIF-2 alpha-subunit phosphorylation was observed even in the presence of hemin when p67 in the reticulocyte lysate was removed by treatment with p67 antibodies. (iii) Reticulocyte lysate contains a p67-deglycosylase in latent form, and hemin prevents activation of this deglycosylase. In the absence of hemin, this p67-deglycosylase is activated. Once activated in the absence of hemin, the activated deglycosylase deglycosylates p67, even in the presence of hemin. This inactivates p67 and allows eIF-2 kinase to phosphorylate eIF-2 alpha-subunit and inhibit protein synthesis. Protein synthesis in reticulocyte lysate is thus regulated by two novel cascades of covalent modifications: protein deglycosylation leading to protein phosphorylation.

Sulfate transport was examined in rat liver lysosomes that were isolated from thyroid hormone-treated, thyroidectomized, and control animals. Sulfate uptake was significantly decreased in lysosomes from animals that had received intraperitoneal T3 (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine) at a dose of 20 micrograms/100 g body weight. The effect of T3 was maximal by 24 h post-injection and resulted in marked decreases in both Vmax (control: 155 +/- 33 pmol/unit of beta-hexosaminidase/30 s versus T3 treated: 24 +/- 7 pmol/unit of beta-hexosaminidase/30 s) and Km (control: 213 +/- 34 microM versus T3 treated: 92 +/- 6 microM). Thyroidectomy was associated with a significant increase in Vmax (control: 250 pmol/unit of beta-hexosaminidase/30 s versus thyroidectomized: 564 pmol/unit of beta-hexosaminidase/30 s), while Km was not significantly affected. The effect of thyroid hormone on lysosomal sulfate transport appeared to be relatively specific. In contrast to its effect on sulfate transport, T3 treatment had no effect on the uptake of either glucose or N-acetylglucosamine by rat liver lysosomes. Lysosomal pH, acidification in response to Mg/ATP, and the specific activities of alpha-L-iduronidase, beta-hexosaminidase, beta-D-glucosidase, and acid phosphatase were unaffected by T3 administration. Incubation of T3 with lysosomes from control animals had little or no effect on sulfate transport. Treatment of isolated lysosomes with either protein kinase A or alkaline phosphatase resulted in modest stimulation of transport. Thus, T3 does not appear to regulate transport by either direct interaction with the lysosomal transporter or protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation. The exact mechanism for the inhibitory effect of T3 on lysosomal sulfate transport remains to be determined.

UDP-GlcNAc:Gal beta 3GalNAc-R (GlcNAc to GalNAc) beta 1-6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (i.e. core 2 GlcNAc-T) of the O-linked oligosaccharide pathway is developmentally regulated in human T cells, and changes in its activity have been associated with malignancies and the Wiskott-Aldrich immunodeficiency syndrome. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells normally express low levels of core 2 GlcNAc-T activity (8-12 pmol/mg/h) which can be accurately measured with a two-step assay employing purified bovine beta 1-4Gal-T and high specific activity UDP-[3H]Gal to radiolabel the core 2 reaction product. CHO cells treated with 2 mM sodium butyrate for 24 h exhibited a 16-fold increase in core 2 GlcNAc-T activity, whereas several other differentiating agents including dimethyl sulfoxide, retinoic acid, phorbol ester, and cholera toxin had no effect on activity. The addition of butyrate, cholera toxin, or dimethyl sulfoxide to CHO cells slowed cell proliferation and induced changes in cell morphology characteristic of cell differentiation. Induction of core 2 GlcNAc-T by butyrate was blocked by actinomycin D and cycloheximide. Butyrate treatment also elevated cytosolic cAMP levels with a time course which paralleled, but preceded, induction of core 2 GlcNAc-T activity by approximately 8 h. The protein kinase inhibitors H-7 and H-8 blocked butyrate-dependent induction of enzyme activity, whereas the inactive analogue H1004 had no effect. Core 2 GlcNAc-T showed a change in Km for UDP-GlcNAc, from 0.50 mM in untreated cells to 4.54 mM in butyrate + cholera toxin treated CHO cells, but no changes in Km for the synthetic acceptor, Gal beta 1-3GalNAc alpha-para-nitrophenyl. Despite the 9-fold increase in Km for sugar nucleotide, Vmax/Km was 8.8-fold greater in treated compared with untreated cells. These observations suggest that in CHO cells induction of core 2 GlcNAc-T by butyrate treatment requires de novo gene transcription/translation, activation of protein kinase(s), and is associated with changes in the kinetic properties of the enzyme.

The voltage-gated chloride channel (CIC-0) from the electric organ of Torpedo californica was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography. A polyclonal antibody was shown to specifically recognize the CIC-0 channel (M(r) 85,000-90,000) in a Western blot of total membrane proteins. As monitored by immunoprecipitation, the formation of antibody-antigen complexes in solution strongly depends on the detergent composition. The highest yield of precipitated CIC-0 was obtained from an incubation mixture containing both an anionic detergent, cholate or lauryl sulfate, and the zwitterionic detergent CHAPS. In contrast, immuno-precipitation of CIC-0 was largely reduced when cholate was exchanged for the nonionic detergent Triton x-100, suggesting that the efficient formation of immuno-complexes is favored by negatively charged detergent. In initial immunopurification experiments, in addition to CIC-0 a major contaminating polypeptide of M(r) approximately 115,000 was copurified, which represents the SITS-binding protein [Jentsch et al. (1989) Biochem. J. 261, 155]. Purification of CIC-0 could be increased from about 35% up to 60% homogeneity when immunoaffinity chromatography was performed in the presence of N-acetylglucosamine. Therefore the highly glycosylated SITS-binding protein most likely interacts with the CIC-0 protein via its carbohydrate parts. The purified CIC-0 channel was found to be phosphorylated by PKA in vitro to a level of 0.35-0.4 mol of phosphate incorporated per mol of CIC-0. Proteolytic digestion with endoproteinase GluC and HPLC-separation revealed two major phosphopeptides, which could be identified by amino acid sequence analysis as different size fragments of the same consensus phosphorylation site. Comparison of the peptide sequences with the deduced protein sequence of CIC-0 [Jentsch et al. (1990) Nature 348, 510; O'Neill et al. (1991) Biochem. Biophys. Acta 1129, 131] indicates serine 600 as the phosphorylated residue. Therefore, our results provide strong evidence that CIC-0 is phosphorylated at this single site by PKA in vitro.
