A solubilized preparation of cytochrome P-450, obtained by treatment of mitochondria from bovine corpora lutea with phospholipase A, contained all of the necessary components for the cholesterol side chain cleavage activity. The solubilized cytochrome -450 preparation could be isolated essentially free of endogenous cholesterol side chain cleavage activity by various fractionation techniques. A cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme system was reconstituted using the isolated cytochrome P-450 preparation and purified adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase (components of the enzyme system purified from the adrenal cortex). Protein kinase was partially purified from the cytosol fraction of bovine corpora lutea. It was purified 43-fold and the activity was highly dependent on cyclic adenosine 3:5-monophosphate (cyclic AMP). When ATP and this partially purified cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase were added to the reconstituted cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme assay in which cytochrome P-450 was limiting, a stimulation (20 to 74%) of the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone was observed. This stimulation was statistically significant with p value less than 0.001. The stimulatory effect of the protein kinase appeared to be dependent on ATP and was not mimicked by bovine serum albumin, indicating that the effect was specific for protein kinase. Protein kinase caused a phosphorylation of the cytochrome P-450 preparation when large amounts of this preparation were used in the assay. It is concluded from these results that the direct activation of the cytochrome P-450 component of the cholesterol side chain cleavage by protein kinase may be one of the ways by which cyclic AMP mediates the effect of luteinizine.

The parenteral administration of a single dose of 3-methylcholanthrene to rats caused an increase in the liver of the concentration of 3', 5'-cAMP and of the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37). These events were followed by an increased activity of ornithine decarboxylase (L-ornithine carboxy-lase, EC 4.1.1.17), the enzyme that controls the biosynthesis of polyamines. Finally, the activity of benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase, as well as the amount of cytochrome P-448, was increased. Similarly, after the administration of phenobarbital, there was first an increase in the cAMP concentration and in the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, then the induction of ornithine decarboxylase, and finally, an enhanced activity of ethylmorphine N-demethylase and an increased content of cytochrome P-450. These data suggest that the drug-induced processes in liver that increase the activities of the oxidative, and presumably other, drug-metabolizing enzymes include the following sequence of events: (1) increase in cAMP concentration and/or activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase; (2) induction of ornithine decarboxylase; and, (3) induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes.

We have used a cell-free rabbit reticulocyte translational system programmed with polyadenylated [poly(A)+] RNA prepared from chick kidney tissue to study the synthesis of nascent ferredoxin, a class of iron-sulphur-containing proteins functional in the renal mitochondrial 1 alpha- and 24-hydroxylases of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. The synthesis of ferredoxin was monitored by determining [35S]methionine incorporation into ferredoxin and quantified by SDS/PAGE and autoradiography after immunoprecipitation from the total translation products. Compared with normal controls, vitamin D deprivation caused a significant increase in the net synthesis of nascent ferredoxin with an Mr of 12,000-13,000. [3H]Orotate incorporation as uridine into kidney poly(A)+ RNA was stimulated by aminophylline, a potent inducer of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 24-hydroxylase; however, the amount of nascent ferredoxin synthesis was the same as in normal controls. Also, partially purified chick kidney mitochondrial cyclic AMP-stimulated protein kinase catalysed the phosphorylation of ferredoxin in vitro. The catalytic activity of the ferredoxin in 1 alpha- and 24-hydroxylations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in reconstituted systems consisting of cytochrome P-450 and ferredoxin reductase was altered with ferredoxin phosphorylation. The phosphorylation caused inhibition of the 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity while at the same time it stimulated the 24-hydroxylase. Authentic 1 alpha,25- and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were used as standards to monitor the separation of the enzymic products by h.p.l.c. using methanol/water (4:1, v/v) as solvent. These results indicate that, in the absence of vitamin D or its metabolites in the deficient state, the synthesis of ferredoxin necessary for the 1 alpha-hydroxylase is accentuated, whereas the stimulation of the 24-hydroxylase requires the phosphorylation of existing ferredoxin without a net gain in its synthesis. This would suggest a post-translational regulation of the 1 alpha- and 24-hydroxylases. A model delineating the various aspects of this study is presented.

We present data showing that the major phenobarbital inducible cytochromes P-450 (cytochrome P-450IIB1 and cytochrome P-450IIB2) were phosphorylated in intact hepatocytes. This phosphorylation was greatly increased by the cAMP derivatives N6-dibutyryl-cAMP and 8-thiomethyl-cAMP mediated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Most importantly the phosphorylation status of cytochromes P-450 was shown to change in the hepatocytes after treatment with glucagon, which is known to increase the level of cAMP in hepatocytes. The observed impact of the hormone glucagon on the phosphorylation of distinct cytochrome P-450 forms in intact hepatocytes reveals the possibility that the enzyme activity of cytochromes P-450 could be rapidly and differentially regulated by their phosphorylation and therefore dependent on the hormonal status of the organism.

The major phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 purified from rat liver, a member of family II of the cytochrome P-450 gene superfamily, is rapidly phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The phosphorylation reaches greater than 0.5 mol phosphate/mol P-450 after 5 min and is accompanied by a decrease in enzyme activity. The serine residue in position 128 was shown to be the sole phosphorylation site and a conformational change of the protein was indicated by a shift of the carbon monoxide difference spectrum of the reduced cytochrome from 450 to 420 nm. Comparison of amino acid sequences of various cytochrome P-450 families revealed a highly conserved arginine residue in the immediate vicinity of the phosphorylated serine residue which constitutes the kinase recognition sequence. It also revealed that only the members of the cytochrome P-450 family II carry this kinase recognition sequence. To find out whether this phosphorylation also occurs in vivo, the exchangeable phosphate pool of intact hepatocytes derived from phenobarbital-pretreated rats was labeled with 32Pi followed by an incubation of the cells with the membrane-permeating dibutyryl-cAMP or with the adenylate cyclase stimulator glucagon to activate endogenous kinase. As a result, a microsomal polypeptide with the same electrophoretic mobility as cytochrome P-450 became strongly labeled. Peptide mapping and immunoprecipitation with monospecific antibodies identified this protein as the major phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450. It becomes phosphorylated at the same serine residues as in the cell-free phosphorylation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Phosphorylation of hepatic cytochrome P-450 was studied in isolated hepatocytes incubated in the presence of agents known to stimulate protein kinase activity. Incubation of hepatocytes isolated from phenobarbital-induced adult male rats with [32P]orthophosphate in the presence of N6,O2'-dibutyryl-cAMP (diBtcAMP) or glucagon resulted in the phosphorylation of microsomal proteins that are immunoprecipitable by polyclonal antibodies raised to the phenobarbital-inducible P-450 form PB-4 (P-450 gene IIB1). Little or no phosphorylation of these proteins was observed in the absence of diBtcAMP or glucagon or in the presence of activators of Ca2+-dependent protein kinases. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed that these 32P-labeled microsomal proteins consist of a mixture of P-450 PB-4 and the closely related P-450 PB-5 (gene IIB2), both of which exhibited heterogeneity in the isoelectric focusing dimension. Phosphorylation of both P-450 forms was markedly enhanced by diBtcAMP at concentrations as low as 5 microM. In contrast, little or no phosphorylation of P-450 forms reactive with antibodies to P-450 PB-1 (gene IIC6), P-450 2c (gene IIC11), or P-450 PB-2a (gene IIIA1) was detected in the isolated hepatocytes under these incubation conditions. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the 32P-labeled P-450 PB-4 + PB-5 immunoprecipitate revealed that these P-450s are phosphorylated on serine in the isolated hepatocytes. Peptide mapping indicated that the site of phosphorylation in hepatocytes is indistinguishable from the site utilized by cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro, which was previously identified as serine-128 for the related rabbit protein P-450 LM2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The kidney is the principal physiologic site of production of biologically active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1 alpha-hydroxylase (1-OHase) activity found in renal mitochondria is under tight hormonal control. Parathyroid hormone stimulates the renal conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in young animals, which is accompanied by dephosphorylation of ferredoxin (Fx), a component of the mitochondrial 1-OHase enzyme complex (Siegel, N., Wongsurawat, N., and Armbrecht, H. J. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 16998-17003). The present study investigates the capacity of Fx to be phosphorylated in vitro and to modulate the 1-OHase activity of a reconstituted system. Fx was phosphorylated by renal mitochondrial type II protein kinase. Phosphorylation did not alter Fx mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels but did decrease the pI as measured by isoelectric focusing. Amino acid analysis demonstrated that 1 mol of serine and 1 mol of threonine were phosphorylated per mol of Fx. Peptide mapping of phosphorylated Fx was consistent with phosphorylation of serine 88 and threonine 85 or 97. Fx was selectively dephosphorylated by rabbit skeletal muscle protein phosphatase C2 but not C1. Phosphorylation of Fx significantly inhibited the 1-OHase activity of a reconstituted system consisting of Fx reductase, Fx, and renal mitochondrial cytochrome P-450. These findings suggest that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of Fx may play a role in modulating renal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D production.

The phenobarbital-inducible form of cytochrome P-450 purified from rabbit liver microsomes is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase at a single site, the serine residue in position 128 of the amino acid sequence. The serine is located in a characteristic recognition sequence for cAMP-dependent protein kinase and is part of a primary structure which is conserved during evolution, present also in phenobarbital-inducible rat cytochrome and cytochrome P-450 CAM from Pseudomonas putida. The contribution of these findings to our understanding of the structure and membrane topology of cytochrome P-450 LM2 and its turnover regulated by phosphorylation is discussed.

The potent mitogen and tumor promoter, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), has a primary action via activation of calcium-dependent protein kinase C. The treatment of monolayer cultures of human fetal adrenal neocortex (HFA) cells with PMA (50-250 nM) stimulated basal dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DS) secretion 2-3 fold. ACTH-treated HFA cells secreted amounts of DS and cortisol (F) 10-50 fold greater than basal secretions. PMA (250 nM) addition with ACTH to HFA cells decreased DS and F secretions at least 75% on days 2 and 3 of treatment. Treatment of HFA cells with 4 alpha-phorbol, which does not activate calcium-dependent protein kinase C, did not inhibit steroidogenesis. The attenuated rates of steroidogenesis after PMA treatment correlated with the decreased amounts of steroid 11 beta, 17 alpha- and 21-hydroxylase cholesterol side-chain cleavage steroid dehydrogenase and sulfotransferase activities. The decrease of steroid 17 alpha-hydroxylase activity correlated with the decreased amount of cytochrome P-450(17) alpha as determined after protein immunoblotting of NaDodSO4 cell lysates. After PMA treatment the ACTH-promoted increases of hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase and dehydrogenase activities of HFA cells were suppressed. PMA (50 nM) inhibited cAMP accumulation in ACTH-treated HFA cells, while 4 alpha-phorbol had no effect. Importantly, dibutyryl cAMP (0.2 mM) treatment of HFA cells did not reverse phorbol ester-promoted attenuation of steroidogenesis. We conclude that, in the presence of ACTH, phorbol ester chronically inhibits both cAMP synthesis and cAMP-dependent protein kinase action with resultant decreased steroidogenic enzyme synthesis and steroid production. This may be a consequence of activation, migration and a slow degradation of protein kinase C activity. These multifaceted actions of phorbol ester and associated protein kinase C activation may have critical effects on the ontogeny of fetal adrenal function.

Two forms of enzymatic posttranslational modifications of the monooxygenase system are described: modification by phosphatase and modification by protein kinase. Phosphatase treatment of microsomes isolated from phenobarbital-pretreated rabbits and rats caused a marked decrease of monooxygenase activity which was paralleled by a comparable decrease of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase activity while the second essential component of the system, cytochrome P-450, remained unaltered. Thus phosphatase attacks monooxygenase via reductase. Protein kinases showed the opposite preference; while cytochrome P-450 was phosphorylated, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase was not. Thus the kinase affects monooxygenase via cytochrome P-450. The phosphorylation of cytochrome P-450 turned out to be a specific reaction observed only with certain cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes and certain protein kinases.
