The 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein (endoplasmin, grp94) is an abundant member of the 90-kDa molecular chaperone family in the endoplasmic reticulum. We have found earlier that the 50% homologous 90-kDa heat shock protein, hsp90, has ATP-binding site(s) and autophosphorylating activity (Csermely, P., and Kahn, C. R. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 4943-4950). In the present paper we demonstrate that highly purified grp94 is also able to autophosphorylate itself on serine and threonine residues. grp94 can be freed from the co-purifying casein kinase II by concanavalin A affinity chromatography, and its phosphorylation is unaffected by activators and inhibitors of numerous protein kinases known to associate with the homologous hsp90. The autophosphorylation persists in immunoprecipitates and in SDS-polyacrylamide gel-purified and renatured grp94. Autophosphorylation displays a monomolecular kinetics, is activated by micromolar calcium concentrations, has an extreme heat stability, and can utilize both ATP and GTP with relatively high km values of 243 +/- 14 microM and 116 +/- 23 microM, respectively. Sequence analysis of grp94 shows the presence of two ATP-binding sites. The major product of limited proteolysis of grp94 by chymotrypsin or papain is an N-terminal 85-kDa fragment that can bind to ATP-agarose but does not show autophosphorylation. Our data suggest that grp94 has an enzymatic function analogous in many respects to the similar activity of hsp70, hsp90, and grp78 (BiP). Autophosphorylation may participate in/regulate the complex formation of these proteins, so it may be involved in their chaperone function.

Colligin is a collagen-binding glycoprotein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and has been proposed to play a role in collagen biosynthesis. Its membership in the serpin family prompted us to examine its effect on procollagen degradation. We first showed that procollagen degradation can take place in the ER of L6 myoblasts by using brefeldin A to block transit from the ER. This degradation could be prevented by the serine protease inhibitors N-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK) and N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK). To examine procollagen degradation in vitro, isolated liver microsomes were incubated with procollagen. Intact microsomes were unable to degrade labeled procollagen I, fibronectin, or the cytoplasmic proteins, phosphorylase b and the RI subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. However, when the microsomes were permeabilized by treatment with detergent, they became capable of degrading procollagen and fibronectin, but not the cytoplasmic proteins. The degrading activity was not due to cross-contamination by lysosomal or cytoplasmic, multicatalytic proteases. The proteolysis of procollagen chains in the treated microsomes was partially inhibited by TPCK, TLCK, and leupeptin. The most effective inhibitor was, however, colligin. In its presence, the breakdown of procollagen I, but not of fibronectin, was specifically inhibited. Colligin itself was not degraded by the microsomal preparations. The protein degrading activity was localized to the microsomal membranes, and showed a pH optimum of about 8.0. From these studies it is inferred that one of the roles of colligin may be to protect the procollagen I chains in the ER from degradation prior to their transport to the cis-Golgi compartment.

To further characterize a protein kinase present in porcine brain microvessels, a cDNA library using porcine microvessel poly(A) RNA was screened with polyclonal antibodies raised against the native protein kinase. Since no full-length cDNA clone could be obtained, the missing sequence information was completed using two subsequent polymerase chain reactions. The amplified transcripts were cloned and the sequence determined. Additionally, a genomic DNA library from porcine kidney was screened to substantiate the results obtained from the polymerase chain reaction. Earlier hints of a relation to a subclass of the family of heat-shock proteins (HSPs) based upon a close sequence similarity at its amino-terminus could be confirmed by comparison of the full-length cDNA sequences. Common protein kinase consensus sequences, a targeting sequence for proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum at the carboxy-terminus as well as a hydrophobic leader sequence in the amino-terminal region of the protein could also be identified. Furthermore, a set of membrane-associated substrate proteins of this enzyme could be detected in brain capillaries. The results indicate that at least some members of the HSP 90 subfamily undergo autophosphorylation and show protein kinase activity by phosphorylating substrate proteins in vitro.

In polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells the newly synthesized plasma membrane proteins, on the exocytic pathway, are sorted in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and delivered directly to the apical or basolateral surface. Forskolin, isobutylmethylxanthine, and dibutyryl cAMP, all known to activate protein kinase A, stimulated transport of influenza hemagglutinin (HA) from the TGN to the apical surface. The same reagents, however, did not affect the transport of HA from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Goli complex nor did they affect transport of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein from the TGN to the basolateral surface. The addition of staurosporin, a general protein kinase inhibitor, did not affect the transport of HA in nontreated cells but blocked the stimulation caused by the above reagents. Apical transport of HA was also stimulated by phorbol ester, an activator of protein kinase C. Activation of apical transport by phorbol ester as well as aluminum fluoride (Pimplikar, S. W., and Simons, K. (1993) Nature 362, 456-458) was also negated by staurosporin. These results show that in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, protein kinase A and protein kinase C selectively stimulate the apical transport.

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) encoded Vpu is a small integral membrane phosphoprotein that functions in the enhancement of viral particle release and has more recently been shown to cause degradation of CD4 at the endoplasmic reticulum. We have demonstrated earlier that Vpu is phosphorylated by the ubiquitous casein kinase-2 (CK-2) in HIV-1 infected cells. The phosphoacceptor sites targeted by CK-2 in Vpu, however, have not been demonstrated and it was unclear whether Vpu was phosphorylated at one or more of its four serine residues. In this study we characterized the CK-2 phosphoacceptor sites in Vpu using recombinant CK-2 for in vitro phosphorylation of recombinant Vpu protein as well as synthetic peptides of Vpu. Phosphorylation of both Ser52 and Ser56 was demonstrated by in vitro phosphorylation using three 54-residue peptides comprising the entire hydrophilic part of Vpu and containing single serine to asparagine transitions in either position 52 or 56. The Km values of CK-2 to these peptides were established, revealing a preferential phosphorylation of Ser56. The Km values are: Ser56 = 31 microM; Ser 52 = 156 microM; wild type = 27 microM. In addition, we studied phosphorylation of Vpu by endogenous CK-2 following in vitro translation in rabbit reticulocyte lysate of wild-type Vpu or a mutant, Vpum2/6, carrying serine to asparagine changes at amino acid positions 52 and 56. The in vivo phosphorylation of Vpu was studied in transiently transfected human embryonic kidney (293) cells. In this system, the mutant Vpum2/6 was not phosphorylated, indicating that the seryl residues of Vpu at amino acid positions 52 and 56, but not those at positions 23 and 61, are phosphorylated by CK-2. The two CK-2 phosphorylation sites are conserved in all known Vpu sequences and represent the consensus Ser52GlyAsn(Glu/Asp)Ser(Glu/Asp)Gly(Glu/Asp)59. Prediction of the secondary structure revealed a conserved alpha-helix-turn-alpha-helix motif for the hydrophilic C-terminal part of Vpu. A structural model for Vpu is proposed in which the membrane anchor precedes a region comprising two amphipathic alpha-helices of opposed polarity, joined by a strongly acidic turn that protrudes into the cytoplasm and contains the CK-2 phosphorylation sites. Possible functional and structural homologies of Vpu to the membrane channel-forming M2 protein of influenza A viruses are discussed.

One of the effects of ATP in the endoplasmic reticulum is to induce the phosphorylation of several proteins among which a 57-kDa protein (pp57) prevails in our labeling conditions. We provide evidence that pp57 is protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), an abundant ubiquitous protein of the endoplasmic reticulum involved in various important cellular functions. This phosphorylation does not result from the activity of a microsomal protein kinase but from an autophosphorylation as described for other microsomal proteins such as chaperones. Phosphoamino acid analysis and cyanogen bromide cleavage indicate that the modification site lies on a threonine residue within the central region of the protein outside the thioredoxin-like domains. For the pure PDI, only the dimer is able to phosphorylate, while some experiments suggest that within the endoplasmic reticulum the phosphorylated form of PDI is mainly mobilized in larger size oligomers. Thus a possible role for this phosphorylation may be to modulate the association of PDI with its different partners.

Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) plays a dominant role in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis by storing and releasing Ca2+. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Stains All staining reveals that at least six Ca(2+)-binding proteins are contained in cardiac SR vesicles, five of which have now been identified. These five SR proteins comprise a set of high capacity Ca(2+)-binding proteins, localized to the SR lumen, that exhibit properties expected for physiological Ca2+ stores. In this study, we have purified and isolated cDNA clones for the sixth major Stains All blue-staining protein of dog cardiac SR and identified it as GRP94 (glucose-regulated protein, M(r) = 94,000). Previously, this prominent Ca(2+)-binding component has only been described in non-muscle endoplasmic reticulum. Cardiac GRP94 co-sedimented with cardiac SR vesicles and all previously described SR markers and was completely contained within the SR lumen. GRP94, like several other SR Ca(2+)-binding proteins, was a substrate for casein kinase II and was phosphorylated at two or more sites located near the two ends of the molecule. A low level of endogenous casein kinase II activity was found in crude preparations of cardiac SR but did not co-purify with SR vesicles after calcium oxalate loading, suggesting that casein kinase II phosphorylation in vivo occurs at a site other than the SR.

PMID:GRP94 resides within cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and is phosphorylated by casein kinase II. 811 36

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific Vpu is an 81-amino-acid amphipathic integral membrane protein with at least two different biological functions: (i) enhancement of virus particle release from the plasma membrane of HIV-1-infected cells and (ii) degradation of the virus receptor CD4 in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We have previously found that Vpu is phosphorylated in infected cells at two seryl residues in positions 52 and 56 by the ubiquitous casein kinase 2. To study the role of Vpu phosphorylation on its biological activity, a mutant of the vpu gene lacking both phosphoacceptor sites was introduced into the infectious molecular clone of HIV-1, pNL4-3, as well as subgenomic Vpu expression vectors. This mutation did not affect the expression level or the stability of Vpu but had a significant effect on its biological activity in infected T cells as well as transfected HeLa cells. Despite the presence of comparable amounts of wild-type and nonphosphorylated Vpu, decay of CD4 was observed only in the presence of phosphorylated wild-type Vpu. Nonphosphorylated Vpu was unable to induce degradation of CD4 even if the proteins were artificially retained in the ER. In contrast, Vpu-mediated enhancement of virus secretion was only partially dependent on Vpu phosphorylation. Enhancement of particle release by wild-type Vpu was efficiently blocked when Vpu was artificially retained in the ER, suggesting that the two biological functions of Vpu are independent, occur at different sites within a cell, and exhibit different sensitivity to phosphorylation.

To assess the interaction of human casein kinase II (CKII) with the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) class of chaperone proteins, human CKII alpha and beta subunits and beta S2A mutant were expressed and purified separately or from a tandem coexpression construct in Escherichia coli. Recombinant human HSP90 beta and recombinant yeast HSP90 as His6 constructs were also expressed in and purified from E. coli. The rhCKII S2A mutant removed the regulatory beta subunit autophosphorylation site but had no effect on catalytic efficiency with peptide or protein substrates. As a CKII substrate, recombinant hHSP90 beta displayed a Km of 9.8 microM and a kcat of 4.1 min-1 and was phosphorylated to 1.5 mol/mol, whereas ryHSP90, lacking the known serine CKII sites of hHSP90, was phosphorylated at a 19-fold lower kcat/Km ratio to levels of 0.8 mol/mol. The endoplasmic reticulum HSP90 family member Grp94 was phosphorylated to 1.4 mol/mol but, in contrast, HSC70 and FKBP25 chaperones were phosphorylated to < 0.01 mol/mol. Neither phospho nor dephospho forms of hHSP90 showed significant activation of CKII toward the peptide substrate RRREEETEEE in contrast to a previous report that activation was observed at high molar ratios of chaperone to kinase.

A key protein component of the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel has been cloned from rat colon and human lung. It may represent the first member of a new family of ionic channels expressed from nematode to human. The biochemical properties of the rat protein, a 699 amino acids long polypeptide, have been analyzed. Four polyclonal antibodies raised against distinct parts of the channel immunoprecipitated a glycosylated protein of 96 kDa after cRNA expression in oocytes as well as after in vitro translation. When expressed alone into oocytes, the protein was not stable; most of it remains stacked into the endoplasmic reticulum. This results in a very low yield of complete maturation of the protein at the cell surface after expression from the pure cRNA. To determine the membrane topology of the protein, in vitro translation by a rabbit reticulocyte lysate was performed followed by insertion into canine pancreatic microsomes and protease digestion. Analysis revealed a model with only two transmembrane alpha helices and a large extracellular domain of about 500 amino acids. The NH2 and COOH termini are cytoplasmic. Protease digestion results suggest the possible presence of a structural element that could have a function similar to that of the H5 segment in K+ channels. The model indicates that there is no cytoplasmic site for protein kinase A phosphorylation. The well known regulation of the channel activity by hormones that activate this kinase such as vasopressin might thus be situated on another channel component.
