A cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) from sea urchin sperm as purified to near homogeneity and characterized. A 68-fold purification of the enzyme was obtained. This preparation had a specific activity of 389 000 units/mg protein with protamine as the substrate. On the basis of the purification required, it may be calculated that the protein kinase constitutes as much as 1.5% of the soluble protein in sperm. There appeared to be a single form of the enzyme in sea urchin sperm, based on the behavior of the enzyme during DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. Magnesium ion was required for enzyme activity. The rate of phosphorylation of protamine was stimulated 2.5-fold by an optimal concentration of 0.9 M NaCl. The Km for ATP (minus cyclic AMP) was 0.119 +/- 0.013 (S.D.) and 0.055 mM +/- 0.009 (S.D.) in the presence of cyclic AMP. The specificity of the enzyme toward protein acceptors, in decreasing order of phosphorylation, was found to be histone f1 protamine, histone f2b, histone f3 and histone f2a; casein and phosvitin were not phosphorylated. The holoenzyme was found to have an apparent molecular weight of 230 000 by Sephadex G-200 chromatography. In the presence of 5 - 10(-6) M cyclic AMP, the holoenzyme was dissociated on Sephadex G-200 to a regulatory subunit of molecular weight 165 000 and a catalytic subunit of Mr 73 000. The dissociation could also be demonstrated by disc gel electrophoresis in the presence and absence of cyclic AMP.

A nucleoside-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) was partially purified from Trypanosoma gambiense, the pathogenic agent of sleeping sickness. This enzyme catalyzes the phosphorylation of histone and protamine. Various nucleosides at the concentration of 10(-4) M stimulated the histone kinase activity about two-fold, whereas cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP were without effect. The pH-optimum for histone phosphorylation was at about pH 7.0. The enzyme activity absolutely depends on Mg2+, Mn2+ or Co2+. The apparent Km-value for histone was 0.3 mg/ml and those for ATP were 2 - 10(-4) M and 6 - 10(-5) M in the absence or presence of 10(-4) M adenosine respectively. IDP and ADP complete with ATP. The inhibition constants were calculated to be 2 - 10(-4) M and 2.5 - 10(-4) M, respectively. The molecular weight of the histone kinase was found to be 95 000 by gel filtration and 88 000 by sedimentation in a sucrose gradient.

The distribution of protein phosphokinase (EC 2.7.1.37) activities has been established in horse thyroid nuclei. The presence of several enzyme activities has been demonstrated, two of which are clearly distinct. The first one acts on histone as substrate and is activated by cyclic AMP. Physico-chemical properties of this nuclear cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase and of the cytosol histone kinase are different, demonstrating the absence of a contamination from the cytosol. The second enzyme acts on casein as substrate and is not stimulated by cyclic AMP POR CYCLIC GMP. The findings are consistent with the observation of thyrotropin stimulation of histone phosphorylation in thyroid nuclei.

By injecting heterologous histone-kinase preparations into ovarian Axolotl oocytes, it has been possible to speed up the progesterone-induced process of chromosome condensation. Moreover, in some instances, this condensation and even complete maturation have been obtained after injection of protein kinase alone, thus in the absence of hormone stimulation. Two different histone kinase preparations have been used: one was prepared from ascites cell chromatin and the other from in vitro ovulated Xenopus oocytes.

1. Tubulin is not an adenosine-3':5'-monophosphate-dependent (cyclic-AMP-dependent) protein kinase. Both entities have been clearly separated by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. With a tubulin preparation obtained by the polymerization-depolymerization technique protein kinase had a sedimentation coefficient of 8.7 S whereas tubulin sedimented with 6.4 S. After preincubation with both cyclic AMP and histone the kinase dissociated into its catalytic subunit with a sedimentation coefficient of 3.4 S. 2. Tubulin prepared by the polymerization-depolymerization technique was neither phosphorylated in vivo nor in vitro. On the contrary if this preparation was further purified by the Weisenberg's procedure (DEAE-Sephadex batch absorption) before incubation with [gamma-32 P]ATP, phosphorylation occurred. Thus, phosphorylation depended on the method used to purify tubulin i.e. was likely to an an artefact.

The activity of purified RNA polymerase II from Novikoff ascites tumor cells is stimulated 5-7-fold by a purified protein factor. This protein factor, designated HLF2, has extensive protein kinase activity and catalyzed the incorporation of gamma-32G from ATP into protein under normal RNA polymerase assay conditions. Protein phosphorylation is totally dependent on the presence of HLF2 and is stimulated 2-3-fold by the presence of highly purified RNA polymerase II. The purification procedure developed for the isolation of the polymerase stimulatory factor resulted in a 4000-fold purification of a protein kinase. Chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose, phosphocellulose, and Sephadex G-100 did not resolve polymerase stimulatory activity from protein kinase activity. Adenylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), an inhibitor of protein kinases, inhibited the stimulatory activity of purified factor by 80%. The heat denaturation profile of protein kinase was paralleled by the loss of polymerase stimulatory activity. Concentrations of (NH4)2SO4 which are known to inhibit polymerase stimulation (Lee and Dahmus, 1973) also inhibit protein kinase activity. The protein kinase activity associated with stimulatory factor catalyzes the phosphorylation of basic proteins such as protamine or histone. The protein kinase is not stimulated by cyclic 3', 5'-AMP or -GMP over a concentration range of 10(-6)-10(-4)M. Furthermore, protein kinase activity is not inhibited by either the regulatory subunit of rabbit muscle protein kinase or by the heat-stable inhibitor of cyclic 3', 5'-AMP-dependent protein kinases. Protein kinase activity is stimulated by KCl or NH4Cl and is inhibited by MnCl2. The apparent Km values, determined in the presence of 4 mM Mg2+, are 0.02 mM for ATP, and 4.1 mM for GTP.

The 10000 X g supernatant fraction of brown fat from newborn rats catalyzed the cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of both histone and a preparation of proteins from the same subcellular fraction (endogenous proteins). The apparent affinity for ATP was lower for the phosphorylation of the endogenous proteins than for the phosphorylation of histone. In order to discover whether the phosphorylation of histone and the endogenous proteins were catalyzed by different enzymes, the 100000 X g supernatant was fractionated by ion-exchange and adsorption chromatography. Three different cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases and one cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase were separated and partially purified. Each of these enzymes catalyzed the phosphorylation of both substrates, and the difference in apparent Km for ATP remained. Neither affinity chromatography on histone-Sepharose, nor electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels resulted in the separation of the phosphorylation of histone from that of the endogenous proteins of any of the partially purified kinases. Moreover, experiments in which the phosphorylated substrates were separated by differential precipitation with trichloroacetic acid showed that the endogenous proteins competitively inhibited the phosphorylation of lysine-rich histone. It is concluded that each of the partially purified kinase preparations contains protein kinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of both substrates. The difference in apparent Km for ATP was found to be due to the presence in the endogenous protein preparation of a low molecular weight compound which competes with ATP. This was not ATP nor the modulator protein. The ratio of the phosphorylation of endogenous proteins to that of histone was much higher for the cyclic AMP-independent kinase preparation than for the other enzymes. Electrophoresis of the endogenous substrates in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate showed that the enzyme phosphorylated a greater number of proteins than did the cyclic AMP-dependent kinases. The phosphorylation of endogenous proteins relative to that of histone was significantly lower for one of the cyclic AMP-dependent kinases than for the other two. This difference was not reflected in a different pattern of phosphorylation of the individual proteins of the endogenous mixture.

The present study demonstrated the presence within the myocardium of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity which can account for dephosphorylation of a 22,000 dalton phosphoprotein of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum that has been associated with the stimulatory effects of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase on calcium transport (Tada, M., Kirchberger, M. A., and Katz, A. M. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250:2640-2647). Dog cardiac microsomes, consisting mainly of fragmented sarcomplasmic reticulum, were phosphorylated by incubation with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP, and subsequently washed with trichloroacetic acid or buffered KCl. Phosphorylated microsomes contained approximately 1 nmole of 32P bound per mg of microsomal protein, 32P labeling occurring almost exclusively at the 22,000 dalton component. Soluble phosphoprotein phosphatases, isolated from the cytosol, catalyzed dephosphorylation of 32P-labeled microsomes. The existence of a phosphoprotein phosphatase that is associated with the microsomes was demonstrated by the ability of the microsomes to dephosphorylate 32P-histone. This membrane-associated phosphatase activity can also account for a rapid decrease in the amount of 32P-labeling of the 22,000 dalton protein. The dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated 22,000 dalton protein by phosphoprotein phosphatase satisfies an important requirement for the phosphorylation of the 22,000 dalton protein to serve a physiological role, namely, its reversibility.

Rabbit renal cortex was found to contain three types of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK). Cylic AMP-dependent protein kinase (GSK-C) accounted for only a small fraction of the total GSK activity. The predominant type of GSK (GSK-P) could be adsorbed to phosphocellulose, but not to DEAE cellulose. The other major type (GSK-D) could be adsorbed to DEAE cellulose and exhibited several peaks when eluted with a linear NaC1 gradient. GSK-P and GSK-D were not affected by cyclic AMP or by the heat-stable protein inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. This suggests that cyclic AMP-independent mechanisms may play a major role in regulation of GSK. Neither GSK-P nor GSK-D were associated with the major peak of histone, kinase, casein kinase, protamine kinase or phosvitin kinase. Therefore it cannot be assumed that these protein kinase activities can be used to monitor GSK activity.

Disulfide reductase (DSR) of mice liver supernatant is kinetically demonstrated as associating-dissociating oligomeric protein with positive homotropic cooperativity for the substrate. Cyclic 3',5'-AMP (10(-11)--10(-5) M) activates DSR and increases V, but does not change either [S]0,5, nor nH and does not shift the plot of specific activity versus the enzyme concentration. ATP, GTP, UTP, CTP, protamine, histone, Mg2+, Ca2+, EDTA (but not adenosine, 5'-AMP, 2'3'-AMP, ADP beef serum albumin) activated DSR. The effects of different modifiers are not summed up. Preincubation is essential for the action of the majority of the activators. Heating for 8 minutes at 55 degrees C desensitized completely DSR to all the modifiers without changing its catalytic activity, [S]0,5 and nH values. Possible mechanisms of activation of DSR, especially the involvement of protein kinase, are discussed.
