Immunocytochemical evidence of an association between the regulatory subunit RII of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) and the Golgi apparatus in several cell types has been reported. In order to identify endogenous Golgi proteins binding RII, a fraction enriched in Golgi vesicles was isolated from human lymphoblasts. Only the RII beta isoform was detected in the Golgi-rich fraction, although RII alpha has also been found to be present in these cells. A 85 kDa RII-binding protein was identified in Golgi vesicles using a [32P]RII overlay of Western blots. The existence of an endogenous RII beta-p85 complex in isolated Golgi vesicles was demonstrated by two independent means: (i) co-immunoprecipitation of both proteins under non-denaturing conditions with an antibody against RII beta and (ii) co-purification of RII beta-p85 complexes on a cAMP-analogue affinity column. p85 was phosphorylated by both endogenous and purified catalytic subunits of cAMP-pKII. Extraction experiments and protease protection experiments indicated that p85 is an integral membrane protein although it partitioned atypically during Triton X-114 phase separation. We propose that p85 anchors RII beta to the Golgi apparatus of human lymphoblasts and thereby defines the Golgi substrate targets most accessible to phosphorylation by C subunit. This mechanism may be relevant to the regulation of processes involving the Golgi apparatus itself, such as membrane traffic and secretion, but also relevant to nearby nuclear events dependent on C subunit.

The complete amino acid sequence of a 55-kDa erythrocyte membrane protein was deduced from cDNA clones isolated from a human reticulocyte library. This protein, p55, is copurified during the isolation of dematin, an actin-bundling protein of the erythrocyte membrane cytoskeleton. Fractions enriched in p55 also contain protein kinase activity that completely abolishes the actin-bundling property of purified dematin in vitro. The predicted amino acid sequence of p55 does not contain any consensus sequence corresponding to the catalytic domains of protein kinases but does contain a conserved sequence found in the noncatalytic domains of oncogene-encoded tyrosine kinases. This conserved src homology 3 (SH-3) motif appears to suppress the tyrosine kinase activity of various oncoproteins and has also been found in several plasma membrane associated proteins involved in signal transduction. Northern blot analysis indicated that p55 mRNA was constitutively expressed during erythropoiesis and underwent 2-fold amplification after induction of K562 erythroleukemia cells toward the erythropoietic lineage. The abundant expression of p55 mRNA, along with protein 4.1 mRNA, was evident in terminally differentiated human reticulocytes. Although p55 has many features consistent with known peripheral membrane proteins, its tight association with the plasma membrane is reminiscent of an integral membrane protein. This fact may be partly explained by the observation that p55 is the most extensively palmitoylated protein of the erythrocyte membrane.

The pineal gland contains a soluble phosphoprotein, phosducin, which is homologous to that of retinal photoreceptors. Phosducin has been shown to bind the beta, gamma subunits of the retinal G-protein transducin. Retinal phosducin has been cloned and now we report a rat pineal cDNA encoding phosducin. A 1217-nucleotide cDNA was isolated from a rat pineal library by DNA-DNA hybridization with a polymerase chain reaction-amplified cDNA of bovine retina mRNA for phosducin. Northern blot analysis demonstrates that the mRNA for phosducin is approximately 1.3 kb in both rat pineal and rat retina. The translated mRNA from rat pineal encodes a protein with 246 amino acids, compared to the 245 amino acids of bovine retina phosducin. The predicted molecular weight of rat pineal phosducin is 28,201. Immunoblot analysis with affinity-purified antibodies against bovine retina phosducin identify a single immunoreactive protein of approximately 33 kDa in both rat retina and rat pineal. The amino acid sequence of rat pineal phosducin is homologous to that of bovine retina phosducin, revealing 89% identity and another 5.7% similarity. Both rat pineal and bovine retina phosducins are acidic proteins with pIs of 4.3 and 4.5, respectively. The translated protein lacks hydrophobic domains that would suggest an integral membrane protein. Rat pineal phosducin has a single consensus phosphorylation domain for protein kinase A that is nearly identical to that of retinal phosducin, which is phosphorylated by protein kinase A in situ. Rat phosducin also contains three potential phosphorylation domains for protein kinase C and nine for casein kinase II as well as a predicted site for N-glycosylation. The cDNA encoding phosducin was used to localize the gene within a linkage group to a large segment of mouse chromosome 1 in a conserved region with the long arm of human chromosome 1 with a panel of DNA samples from an interspecific cross. In keeping with a proposed role of retinal phosducin in down-regulation of the photo-transduction cascade, a modulatory role in signal transduction is proposed for pineal phosducin.

The lamin B receptor is a previously identified integral membrane protein in the nuclear envelope of turkey erythrocytes that associates with the nuclear intermediate filament protein lamin B (Worman, H. J., J. Yuan, G. Blobel, and S. D. Georgatos. 1988. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 85:8531-8534). In the present report, we use cell fractionation and antibodies against the lamin B receptor to localize it to an 8-M urea-extracted membrane fraction of chicken liver nuclei, supporting an inner nuclear membrane localization. We deduced the amino acid sequence of the chicken lamin B receptor from overlapping clones obtained by screening cDNA libraries with a probe generated by the polymerase chain reaction with primers based on the partial protein sequence of the isolated protein. The mature lamin B receptor has a calculated molecular mass of 73,375 D and eight segments of hydrophobic amino acids that could function as transmembrane domains as determined by hydropathy analysis. Preceding the first putative transmembrane segment is a highly charged 204-residue-long amino terminal region that contains two consensus sites for phosphorylation by protein kinase A. Since the lamin B receptor has been shown to be phosphorylated by protein kinase A in vitro and in vivo and this phosphorylation affects lamin B binding (Applebaum, J., G. Blobel, and S. D. Georgatos. 1990. J. Biol. Chem. 265:4181-4185), it is likely that this amino terminal region faces the nucleoplasm. The amino terminal region also contains three DNA-binding motifs that are found in gene regulatory proteins and histones, suggesting that the lamin B receptor may additionally play a role in gene regulation and/or chromatin organization.

The lactating guinea-pig mammary gland synthesizes and secretes four major milk proteins, i.e., three caseins and alpha-lactalbumin. Of these, the caseins are highly phosphorylated, a post-translational event which in the mammary gland involves a specific casein kinase, which is an integral membrane protein probably of Golgi origin. The microinjection of milk protein mRNA into Xenopus oocytes in the presence of [35S]methionine leads to the synthesis, sequestration, and secretion of proteins which coelectrophorese with alpha-lactalbumin and with partially processed caseins. That the secreted caseins were not phosphorylated was shown by the use of 32P. Either the oocytes were injected with mammary gland mRNA followed by incubation with [32P]phosphate containing media or the mRNA was co-injected with [gamma-32P]ATP and the oocytes were then incubated. In neither case were 32P-labeled caseins secreted. Golgi-rich fractions, identified by the marker enzyme galactosyltransferase, were isolated from the postnuclear supernatant of both oocytes and lactating mammary gland by sucrose density gradient fractionation. In contrast to the mammary gland fractions those derived from the oocytes contained no detectable casein kinase activity. Homogenates of oocytes do effect the phosphorylation of casein but the enzyme activity appears to be present in the soluble fraction and is not membrane bound. It is concluded that the Xenopus oocyte lacks the specific kinase that in the mammary gland phosphorylates sequestered caseins and that the phosphorylation of the caseins is not a prerequisite for their secretion by the oocyte.

CD20, a B cell integral membrane protein, regulates B cell activation and is differently phosphorylated in resting and activated cells. We have previously shown that CD20 phosphorylation is increased in activated cells and in phorbol ester-treated resting cells. Phosphorylation is also altered by agents which signal B cell proliferation, such as anti-IgM and a B cell growth factor. The present study was designed to address whether protein kinase C (PKC) or other kinases used CD20 as a substrate. When purified PKC was incubated with isolated CD20, both the 35- and 37-kDa CD20 proteins were phosphorylated in vitro. Intact resting B cells were next incubated with the protein kinase inhibitors H-7, H-8, and W-7. No change in basal CD20 phosphorylation was observed in the presence of W-7 and H-8, indicating that the protein cyclic nucleotide-dependent and calmodulin-dependent kinases were not actively phosphorylating CD20. Surprisingly, the PKC inhibitor H-7 increased CD20 phosphorylation at concentrations above 25-50 microM. To assess whether PKC either activated a phosphatase or inactivated a kinase affecting CD20 phosphorylation, tryptic phosphopeptide mapping of CD20 was performed. These studies revealed that addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate increased phosphorylation of some peptides differing from those which had increased phosphorylation following addition of H-7. Furthermore, signalling through surface immunoglobulin increased phosphorylation of CD20 peptides distinct from those hyperphosphorylated following addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These results demonstrate that 1) CD20 has multiple phosphorylation sites, as predicted from sequence data, and 2) whereas PKC can use CD20 as substrate, at least one other unidentified kinase phosphorylates CD20 in resting cells. Our data also predict that activation of B cells via the antigen receptor (surface IgM) may activate other protein kinases in addition to PKC.

The IL-1R on murine T cells is a Mr = 80,000 plasma membrane glycoprotein. cDNA cloning and transfection experiments have shown that this is an integral membrane protein, which binds both IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta and transduces the IL-1 signal. A mAb, RM-5, which binds an epitope on the receptor which is distinct from the IL-1 binding site has been produced in rats. RM-5 has been used to immunoprecipitate the IL-1R from 32P-orthophosphate labeled CHO cells which express approximately 100,000 functional, murine rIL-1R/cell. Phosphorylation of the receptor was observed as early as 1 min after the addition of IL-1 and continued for periods of up to 30 min. Phosphorylation increases as the concentration of IL-1 increases from 10(-13) to 10(-8) M. Potassium hydroxide hydrolysis of the phosphorylated IL-1R shows that more than 90% of the phosphate is incorporated into serine or threonine. Thus, one of the earliest events after IL-1 binding to the IL-1R is activation of a serine/threonine protein kinase and phosphorylation of the IL-1R itself.

Purified P400 protein was phosphorylated by both purified Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) and the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase). Because P400 protein was suggested to function as an integral membrane protein, we investigated the phosphorylation of P400 protein using crude mitochondrial and microsomal fractions (P2/P3 fraction). Incubation of the P2/P3 fraction from mouse cerebellum with cyclic AMP or the catalytic subunit of A-kinase stimulated the phosphorylation of P400 protein. The phosphorylation of P400 protein was not observed in the P2/P3 fraction from mouse forebrain. Cyclic AMP and A-kinase enhanced the phosphorylation of several proteins, including P400 protein, suggesting that P400 protein is one of the best substrates for A-kinase in the P2/P3 fraction. Although endogenous and exogenous CaM kinase II stimulated the phosphorylation of some proteins in the P2/P3 fraction, the phosphorylation of P400 protein was weak. Immunoprecipitation with the monoclonal antibody to P400 protein confirmed that the P400 protein itself was definitely phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of A-kinase and CaM kinase II. A-kinase phosphorylated only the seryl residue in P400 protein. Immunoblot analysis of the cells in primary culture of mouse cerebellum confirmed the expression of P400 protein, which migrated at the same position on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as that in the P2/P3 fraction. Incubation of the cultured cerebellar cells with [32P]orthophosphate resulted in the labeling of P400 protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

PCPP-260 (Purkinje cell phosphoprotein of Mr 260,000), a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase, appears to be an integral membrane protein highly enriched in Purkinje cells of the mammalian cerebellum (Walaas et al.: J. Neurosci., 3:291-301, 1983; Walaas et al.: J. Neurosci., 6:954-961, 1986). PCPP-260 has now been purified from a crude particulate fraction of bovine cerebellum, using the ionic detergent N-lauryl sarcosine (NLS) as solubilizing agent, and monitoring the purification by silver stain and autoradiography of 32P-phosphorylated samples, after separation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Concanavalin A was found to bind to PCPP-260, suggesting that it is a glycoprotein. PCPP-260 was therefore extracted, retained on a column of concanavalin A-agarose, and eluted by alpha-methyl mannoside. Further chromatography on Sephacryl S-400 yielded a preparation that was purified approximately 250-fold relative to the initial particulate fraction and that was at least 95% pure. The protein was estimated to represent approximately 0.4% of total membrane protein in the cerebellum. Peptide mapping and phosphoamino acid analysis following phosphorylation of the protein by cAMP-dependent protein kinase showed one major tryptic phosphopeptide containing phosphoserine. A similar, less prominent protein was also found in membranes from other brain regions but could not be detected in liver membranes. The availability of highly purified PCPP-260 should facilitate the investigation of its possible functional roles in the nervous system.

Phospholamban (PLB), an integral membrane protein of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum, was extracted from bovine cardiac muscle with an acidic chloroform/methanol mixture. A combination of gel permeation and ion-exchange chromatographies in organic solvents allowed the purification of PLB. The intensive use of organic solvents throughout the isolation yielded a highly purified and intact protein that can be phosphorylated by cAMP protein kinase. The ease of purification and the high yield obtained (2.5 mg/100 g of fresh tissue) show that organic solvents can be very useful in the extraction and purification of hydrophobic membrane proteins.
