Exposure of neuroblastoma cells (NBD-2) to 8-bromo-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (0.2-1.0 mM) (8-Br-cAMP) for 15 min caused a long term increase in the Vmax of tyrosine-3-monooxygenase activity (TH) beginning about 1 day after 8-Br-cAMP application. Cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase was maximally activated in about 30 min and stayed activated above pretreatment levels for one hour. In cells exposed to 8-Br-cAMP for 15 min, separation of soluble and particle bound histone kinase showed that the total histone kinase activity in the soluble fraction decreased by 40%. This decrease was accompanied by an increase in protein kinase activity in the particulate fraction, suggesting enzyme translocation. After translocation, the enzyme appears to acquire a different substrate affinity because it prefers as a PO43- acceptor, acidic protein rather than histone. In NBD-2 cells this kinase appears to precede, and may be related to, the delayed increase in TH Vmax.

Most of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in propylthiouracil-induced goiters and control rat thyroid glands was found in the soluble fraction. The activity in the particulate fractions was cyclic AMP-independent. Protein kinase activity was 2--3-fold higher in all the subcellular fractions of goitrous tissue than of control tissue. In the presence of Triton X-100, both groups showed a significant increase in kinase activity in all subcellular fractions, and the kinase activity in the particulate fractions could now be slightly stimulated by cyclic AMP. Again, enzyme activity in fractions from goiters was significantly higher than in control tissue. Two major peaks, Types I and II, of soluble cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity could be separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Chronic in vivo stimulation by TSH was associated with a selective increase in Type II isoenzyme activity. Elution and pH profiles, dissociation of subunits with 0.5 M NaCl, and activity ratios (-cyclic AMP/+cyclic AMP) for various substrates for Type II isoenzyme in goitrous and control tissue were similar. The elevated activity in goitrous tissue was manifested by an increase in V for histone, ATP, Mg2+ and cyclic AMP, with no change in the apparent Km.

Cyclic nucleotide-stimulable protein kinase (EC 1.7.1.37) has been studied in crude extracts from the central nervous system of the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae). The insect kinase was fulfhydryl-sensitive and required Mg-2+ for optimal activity. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of supernatants demonstrated the presence of multiple kinases in the larval nerve cord. At low concentrations, cyclic AMP was a much more potent activator of soluble and particulate activities than was cyclic GMP. The specific activity of coluble kinase and the magnitude of its activations by cyclic AMP were greater in the adult than in the larval central nervous system. The exogenous protein substrate specificity of the insect enzyme was similar to that of rat brain kinase with the sole exception that protamine was more readily phosphorylated than histone by nerve cord kinase. It was observed that cyclic AMP lowered the Km of Manduca sexta kinase for ATP, a phenomenon which is apparently nervous tissue=specific in mammals. An effective inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was prepared from the larval central nervous system.

Non-histone chromosomal proteins are phosphorylated and dephosphorylated within the intact nucleus by two independent sets of reactions, a protein kinase reaction which transfers the terminal phosphate group of a variety of nucleoside and deoxynucleoside triphosphates to serine and threonine residues in the proteins, and a phosphatase reaction which cleaves these phosphoserine and phosphothreonine bonds and releases inorganic phosphate. Several lines of evidence are consistent with the hypothesis that the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of these proteins is involved in gene control mechanisms, including the findings that phosphorylated non-histone proteins are highly heterogeneous and their phosphorylation patterns are tissue specific, changes in their phosphorylation correlate with changes in chromatin structure and gene acticity, addition of phosphorylated non-histone proteins increases RNA synthesis in vitro. and phosphorylated non-histone proteins bind specifically to DNA. Cyclic AMP has both stimulatory and inhibitory properties on non-histone protein phosphorylation, depending on the enzyme fraction and substrate employed A specific protein component whose phosphorylation is inhibited by cyclic AMP has been found to be associated with RNA polymerase. The cyclic AMP-induced decrease in the phosphorylation of this protein correlates with an enhancement of RNA synthesis in vitro. These results suggest that both phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of chromatin-associated proteins may be involved in the control of gene readout.

An adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase II (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was partially purified from the cytosol fraction of an exponentially growing culture of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Protein kinase II represented approximately 90% of the cytosolic protein kinase activity. The enzyme had a high degree of substrate specificity for calf thymus and Tetrahymena histones as compared to casein, protamine and phosvitin. The enzyme incorporated the terminal phosphate of ATP into serine and threonine residues of all the histone fractions. The apparent Km of the enzyme for adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) was 1-10-minus 8 M. Protein kinase II was also activated by other cyclic nucleotides with apparent Km values in the range 2.k-10-minus 6 M. Ther specific activity of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase of Tetrahymena decreases markedly from initial high values during the transition from the lag to early log phase of growth. This is followed by a shrp increase in the activity of the enzyme as the log phase of growth progresses. The specific activity of the enzyme increases rapidly during the heat-induced synchronization of Tetrahymena cells. The capacity for rapid phosphorylation of multiple classed of organelle-specific phosphoproteins and the level of cyclic AMP were maximal in Tetrahymena during the earliest phase of growth. These results demonstrate that the cell cycle of Tetrahymena may be coordinated by marked variations in the level of cyclic AMP which in turn regulate the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

A heat-stable, soluble component of brown adipose tissue from newborn rats was found to be readily phosphorylated by protein kinase of the same subcellular fraction. The concentration of this component in brown fat decreased with the age of the animals. A boiled crude microsomal preparation from rat liver was also phosphorylated by brown fat protein kinase. The GTP-linked phosphorylation of the endogenous heat-stable protein was not stimulated by ATP (in contrast to phosphorylation of histone). The maximum velocity of phosphorylation achieved with GTP was about 2.5 times higher than that with ATP as nucleotide substrate. This difference was not due to ATPase activity in the assay. With histone as the protein acceptor both activities were the same. The affinity of protein kinase(s) for ATP was lower with the endogenous heat-stable brown-fat protein and with boiled microsomes (Km of 0.21 mM and 0.17 mM, respectively) than with histone (Km of 0.05 M). No detectable ATPase activity was present in either acceptor protein. It is concluded that the 100 000 times g supernatant fraction from brown fat of infant rats contains two protein kinase activities. One preferentially uses ATP and histone as substrates and the other uses endogenous heat-stable soluble proteins and either ATP or GTP.

We have shown that nuclei isolated by two methods contain grossly different amounts of cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase activity. Repeated washing of the isolated nuclei with a low ionic strength buffer removed the majority of the cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase and cyclic AMP binding activity. Nuclear cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase activity accounted for only 0.42% of the total cytoplasmic enzyme activity. Similarly, the lactate dehydrogenase activity associated with liver nuclei represented only 0.07% of the total cytoplasmic activity. The isolated liver nuclei contained only 0.27% of the total homogenate glutamate dehydrogenase activity and 1.7%of the total homogenate glucose-6-phosphatase activity. The cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase behaves as a cytoplasmic rather than a nuclear enzyme. We have also shown that using crude extracts, one can achieve separation of the two nuclear casein kinases, NI and NII, on sucrose density gradients in the presence of 0.5M NaCl. Nuclear casein kinases NI and NII had sedimentation coefficients of 3.0 and 593 S, respectively, in the presence of 0.5 M NaCl. Under conditions of low ionic strength, all of the casein kinase activity in the crude nuclear extract sedimented as one peak with a seminentation coefficient of 7.3 S. The aggregation-disaggregation which occurred in the crude extract was reversible and was mainly due to the aggregative and disaggregative properties of casein kinase NII. The two nuclear casein kinases have different affinities for chromatin. When nuclei were disrupted in a hypotonic solution and extracted with a buffercontaining 0.14 M NaCl, casein kinase NII could be completely extracted from the viscous nuclear material. Although a significant amount of casein kinase NI was extracted by the buffer containing 0.14 M NaCl, re-extraction of the nuclear material with a buffer containing 0.5 M NaCl yielded substantial amounts of casein kinase NI, and a final extraction with a buffer containing 1.0 M NaCl yielded measurable amounts of casein kinase NI. No casein kinase NII activity could be detected in the 0.5 M and 1.0M NaCl extracts.

There appear to be two classes of protein kinases in rat heart and adipose tissue, types I and II. Type I elutes from DEAE-cellulose at smaller than 0.1 M NaCl and type II at greater than 0.1 M NaCl. The type I enzyme is more readily dissociated by salt or histone than is the type II enzyme. If the type I kinase is first dissociated by cAMP, the subunits reassociate very slowly at 0 degrees C on removal of the cAMP by Sephadex G-25 chromatography, whereas those of type II reassociate very rapidly. Rat heart contains mostly type I and a small amount of type II enzyme, whereas adipose tissue contains almost exclusively the type II enzyme. The adipose tissue enzyme resembles the heart type II kinase in all of the above properties, although the two enzymes are not identical as indicated by slight differences in elution patterns from DEAE-cellulose columns. Incubation of rat epididymal adipose tissue with low concentrations of epinephrine (0.11 muM) increases glycerol production and the fraction of the protein kinase in the active form (activity ratio). The change in cAMP under these conditions is not statistically significant. The presence of insulin inhibits the epinephrine effect on glycerol production and protein kinase but has no measurable effect on cAMP levels. Incubation of adipose tissue with high epinephrine concentrations (11 muM) increases the cAMP level, the protein kinase activity ratio, and glycerol production. Under these conditions insulin decreases the cAMP level and kinase activity ratio but does not reduce glycerol production. The data suggest that very small changes in the tissue cAMP level, undetectable by the assay method, are magnified during the stepwise activation of glycerol output aided possibly by cooperative effects between cAMP and protein kinase. The procedure developed for determining the state of activation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in adipose tissue must be modified by reducing the salt concentration of the buffers in order to carry out similar studies in the heart. This reflects the different types of protein kinase in the two tissues. The addition of charcoal to crude extracts of heart prevents protein kinase activation by added cyclic AMP. Charcoal should therefore prevent any activation that could occur if any sequestered cAMP were released during homogenization. Charcoal addition thereby provides a means to distinguish intracellular cAMP activation of the kinase from that which might occur following cell rupture. If epinephrine-perfused hearts are homogenized in the presence of charcoal, epinephrine stimulation of the protein kinase is only slightly decreased. This indicates that the protein kinase is activated intracellularly by cAMP and suggests that all of the cAMP in the cell is available to the protein kinase; i.e., cAMP is not released during homogenization.

Three protein kinases (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) were detected when the soluble fraction of rabbit kidney medulla was chromatographed on DEAE-cellulose with a linear NaC1 gradient. The first two kinases eluted (Peak 1 and Peak II) were cyclic-AMP-dependent, wheras Peak III was cyclic-AMP-independent. A procedure was developed to separate the catalytic subunit of Peak II cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (representing the bulk of the histone kinase activity) from Peak III protein kinase. In contrast to the catalytic subunit, Peak III protein kinase phosphorylated casein more rapidly than histone. Peak III was insensitive to the heat-stable protein inhibitor of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinases and appeared to have a higher requirement for ATP than did the catalytic subunit. Peak III catalyzed the conversion of glycogen synthase (UDPglucose:glycogen alpha-4-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.11) from the I (glucose-6-phosphate-independent) to the D (glucose-6-phosphate-dependent) form. This conversion was dependent on Mg-2+ and ATP and was unaffected by cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, or the protein inhibitor. Glycogen synthase I in the soluble fraction of kidney medulla could be converted to the D form by endogenous glycogen synthase I kinase if Mg-2+ and ATP were added. Most of this glycogen synthase I kinase activity was unaffected by cyclic AMP or by the protein inhibitor, suggesting that Peak III may be of major importance in the regulation of glycogen synthase in vivo.

In crude extracts of adipose tissue the protein kinase dissociates slowly at 30 degrees into regulatory and catalytic subunits in the presence of 700 mug per ml of histone or 0.5 M NaCl. If the kinase is first dissociated by adding 10 muM adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP), reassociation occurs instantaneously after removal of the cAMP by Sephadex G-25 chromatography. In contrast, in crude xtracts of heart, the protein kinase dissociates rapidly in the presence of 700 mug per ml of histone or 0.5 M NaCl and reassociates slowly after removal of cAMP. These differences are accounted for by the existence of two types of protein kinases in these tissues, referred to as types I and II. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of extracts of adipose tissue produces only one peak of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity (type II) which elutes between 0.15 and 0.25 M NaCl. Similar chromatography of heart extracts resolves enzyme activity into two peaks; a type I enzyme which elutes between 0.05 and 0.1 M and predominates (greater than 75% of total activity), and a type II enzyme which elutes between 0.15 and 0.25 M NaCl. The dissociation properties of the types I and II enzymes from heart and adipose tissue are retained after partial purification by DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose 6B chromatography. Rechromatography of the separated peaks of the cardiac enzymes does not change the elution pattern. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation and gel filtration studies indicate that the molecular weights of these enzymes are very similar. The type II enzyme isolated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography of heart extracts resembles the adipose tissue enzyme, i.e. it undergoes slow dissociation at 30 degrees in the presence of histone or 0.5 M NaCl. The adipose tissue kinase and the heart type II kinase are not identical, however, since they do not elute at exactly the same point on DEAE-cellulose columns. A survey of several tissues indicates the presence of type I and II protein kinases similar to the enzymes in adipose tissue and heart as determined by DEAE-cellulose chromatography of crude extracts and by dissociation of the enzymes with histone. The presence of MgATP prevents dissociation of type I enzyme from heart by 0.5 M NaCl or histone. The profile of the enzyme on DEAE-cellulose, however, is not changed...
