Tropomyosin kinase is partially purified from 14-day-old chicken embryos using DEAE-cellulose, cellulose phosphate and gel filtration chromatography. The purest enzyme preparation consists of two major bands of Mr = 76,000 and 43,000 on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme is 250,000 determined by gel filtration chromatography. It phosphorylates casein and skeletal tropomyosin equally well but histone and phosvitin at a much slower rate. Smooth muscle myosin light chain, tropomyosin from platelet, erythrocyte and smooth muscle are not phosphorylated. The apparent Km for skeletal alpha-tropomyosin and ATP is 50 microM and 200 microM, respectively. Vmax varies between 100-300 nmol/min per mg depending on the purity of the preparation. Mg2+ and dithiothreitol are essential for activity but Ca+, calmodulin and cAMP are not required. The optimum temperature is 37 degrees C and optimum pH is about 7.5. Heparin, a potent inhibitor of casein kinase II, has no inhibitory effect on the enzyme. Similar tropomyosin kinase activity is not detected in skeletal muscle in adult rabbit and chicken. The tropomyosin kinase described here represents a hitherto uncharacterized kinase responsible for phosphorylation of tropomyosin in the chicken embryo.

The double-stranded(ds)-RNA dependent protein kinase from human cells is a Mr 68,000 protein (p68 kinase), the level of which is enhanced significantly in cells treated with interferon. When activated by dsRNA, the p68 kinase becomes autophosphorylated. The phosphorylated p68 kinase then can catalyze the phosphorylation of exogenous substrates, such as eIF2 and histone. The second phosphorylation step can take place in the absence of dsRNA. Here we show that, besides dsRNA other polyanions, especially heparin, can also activate the p68 kinase for the autophosphorylation reaction. Heparin activation of the p68 kinase is reversible since it can be prevented by addition of antithrombin III, heparin-binding protein. However, when antithrombin III is added after autophosphorylation of the p68 kinase then phosphorylation of histone is not affected. The p68 kinase binds to heparin-Sepharose. Further evidence that the p68 kinase can be activated by heparin was provided by photoaffinity labeling with 8-azido-[alpha-32P]ATP. This ATP analog can bind to the p68 kinase only in the presence of heparin or dsRNA. Thus suggesting that the activation of the p68 kinase triggers a conformational modification allowing the binding of ATP. Basic proteins, histone and protamine, prevent the activation process induced by heparin. This is probably due to binding of these basic proteins to heparin and thus sequestering the activator of the protein kinase.

Casein kinase-2 from rabbit skeletal muscle was found to phosphorylate, in addition to glycogen synthase, troponin from skeletal muscle, and myosin light chain from smooth muscle. Troponin T and the 20,000 Mr myosin light chain are phosphorylated by casein kinase-2 at much greater rates than glycogen synthase. The V values for the phosphorylation of troponin and myosin light chain are nearly an order of magnitude greater than that of glycogen synthase; however, the Km values for these two substrates are greater than that for glycogen synthase. The kinase activities with the various protein substrates are stimulated approximately three- and fivefold by 5 mM spermidine and 3 mM spermine, respectively. Heparin is a potent inhibitor of the kinase when casein, glycogen synthase, or myosin light chain is the substrate. However, with troponin as substrate the kinase is relatively insensitive to inhibition by heparin. The amount of heparin required for 50% inhibition with troponin as substrate is at least 10 times greater than with casein as substrate. The phosphorylation of troponin by casein kinase-2 results in the incorporation of phosphate into two major tryptic peptides, which are different from those phosphorylated by casein kinase-1. The site in myosin light chain phosphorylated by casein kinase-2 is different from that phosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase.

A cyclic-AMP-independent nuclear protein kinase has been purified from Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae. The purification procedure involves chromatography of DEAE-Sephadex, phosphocellulose and heparin-Sepharose. The purified enzyme phosphorylates threonine and serine of acidic proteins as casein and phosvitin. Phosphorylation of casein is stimulated by spermine. The kinase requires Mg2+ and can utilize both ATP and GTP as phosphoryl donors. Heparin is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme, being the protein kinase activity fully inhibited at concentrations of 0.5 micrograms/ml. One polypeptide of molecular mass 38 kDa was the major protein band present in the purified kinase preparation as estimated by NaDodSO4 denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This band belongs to the protein kinase because it is the only one that is observed associated with the protein kinase activity when the enzyme preparation is centrifuged in glycerol gradients. The 38-kDa polypeptide is also the major product of autophosphorylation of the enzyme preparation. The enzymatic properties allow to classify the enzyme as a type-II casein kinase. However, its structural properties are different from the mammalian type-II casein kinases and make the D. discoideum enzyme more similar to the plants type-II casein kinases.

A high salt extract of bovine brain was found to contain a protein kinase which catalyzed the phosphorylation of heavy chain of brain myosin. The protein kinase, designated as myosin heavy chain kinase, has been purified by column chromatography on phosphocellulose, Sephacryl S-300, and hydroxylapatite. During the purification, the myosin heavy chain kinase was found to co-purify with casein kinase II. Furthermore, upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme under non-denaturing conditions, both the heavy chain kinase and casein kinase activities were found to comigrate. The purified enzyme phosphorylated casein, phosvitin, troponin T, and isolated 20,000-dalton light chain of gizzard myosin, but not histone or protamine. The kinase did not require Ca2+-calmodulin, or cyclic AMP for activity. Heparin, which is known to be a specific inhibitor of casein kinase II, inhibited the heavy chain kinase activity. These results indicate that the myosin heavy chain kinase is identical to casein kinase II. The myosin heavy chain kinase catalyzed the phosphorylation of the heavy chains in intact brain myosin. The heavy chains in intact gizzard myosin were also phosphorylated, but to a much lesser extent. The heavy chains of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle myosins were not phosphorylated to an appreciable extent. Although the light chains isolated from brain and gizzard myosins were efficiently phosphorylated by the same enzyme, the rates of phosphorylation of these light chains in the intact myosins were very small. From these results it is suggested that casein kinase II plays a role as a myosin heavy chain kinase for brain myosin rather than as a myosin light chain kinase.

Protein kinase previously detected in RNA-binding proteins of amphibian oocytes phosphorylates casein far more efficiently than histones to form phosphoserine and phosphothreonine and utilizes both ATP and GTP. Heparin in concentrations below 1 microgram/ml inhibits protein kinase. This allows to relate the enzyme to casein kinases II. Protein kinase was extensively purified (more than 15000-fold) with respect to proteins of ribosome-free extract. The homogeneous enzyme consists of three polypeptide chains (Mr 43,000, 41,000, and 29,000). The 125I-labelled enzyme possessing casein kinase and RNA-binding activities when injected into amphibian oocytes was detected in the particles identical to free cytoplasmic informosomes in terms of their sedimentation properties.

Casein kinase II, a cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase from rabbit reticulocytes, was shown to be inhibited by heparin. Heparin specifically inhibited the enzyme and had no effect on other protein kinases, including casein kinase I, the type I and II cAMP-dependent protein kinases, protease-activated kinase I, and the hemin-controlled repressor. Heparan sulfate was found to be 40-fold less effective than heparin towards casein kinase II; other acid mucopolysaccharides had little or no effect on the enzymatic activity. Steady state studies revealed that heparin acted as a competitive inhibitor with respect to the substrate, casein. A value of 20 ng/ml or about 1.4 nM was obtained for the apparent Ki. The inhibition was not reversed by ATP and varying the ATP and heparin concentrations in the assay only altered the maximum velocity.

Heparin, which has been shown to behave as a very effective and specific inhibitor of type II casein kinases, exhibits a stimulatory effect on the phosphorylation rate of pyruvate kinase and phosphorylase kinase, but not of histones, by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. When pyruvate kinase is the substrate the phosphorylation rate is approximately doubled by heparin concentrations around 100 micrograms/ml, but just 2 to 4 micrograms heparin per ml are sufficient to induce a half maximal effect. No stimulation by heparin can be observed replacing the protein substrates with two synthetic peptides reproducing the phosphorylatable sites of pyruvate kinase and of the gamma subunit of phosphorylase kinase. These data support the hypothesis that heparin accelerates phosphorylation by rendering the phosphorylatable sites more readily accessible to the protein kinase.

Polyamine-responsive protein kinase, a cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase from the cytosol of Morris hepatoma 3924A, was stimulated 8-9 fold by several different polymers of polylysine, polyornithine and random copolymers of lysine-alanine; spermidine, spermine, and mixtures of spermine and spermidine stimulated 2, 3, and 5 fold, respectively. The protein kinase was not stimulated by poly-carboxybenzyl-lysine, random copolymer of lysine-tyrosine, polyhistidine, polymethionine, polyglutamic acid, polyaspartic acid, dipeptide (Lys-Lys), lysine, ornithine, and putresine. The polyamine stimulation of the protein kinase was prevented by certain specific charged carbohydrates: heparin, chondroitin sulfates A, B, and C, dextran sulfate and hyaluronic acid. It was not prevented by noncharged carbohydrates: dextran, glycogen, starch, sucrose, etc; or by sulfate salts: ammonium sulfate, potassium sulfate, sodium thiosulfate, etc. The inhibition was reversed by increased polylysine. Heparin was non-competitive inhibitor of Mg2+-ATP. It would appear that this enzyme is regulated by certain highly specific molecules with certain sizes and charges; plus charge is stimulatory, negative charge prevents the stimulation.

During purification of tau protein kinase I and II from the bovine brain extract, a new tau protein kinase was detected and purified with phosphocellulose, gel filtration, S-Sepharose and AF-Heparin column chromatography. The molecular mass of the enzyme was determined to be 32 kDa by gel filtration and activity staining on SDS-PAGE. The enzyme is a Ser/Thr protein kinase phosphorylating tau, beta-tubulin, MAP2 and alpha-casein. Employing many synthetic peptides, the recognition site of this enzyme appears to be -SR-. The enzyme requires no second messenger and is inhibited with high concentration of heparin, but not by inhibitors of CKI. These results indicate that this enzyme, tau-tubulin kinase is novel and distinct from TPKI, II and CKI, II.
