Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity was completely inhibited by incubation with alkaline phosphatase in a reconstituted enzyme system containing a cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and phospholipid. On the other hand, cAMP-dependent protein kinase stimulated cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity by 2.5-fold. The modulation of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity was dependent on the amount of phosphatase or kinase added. The phosphatase inhibited enzyme activity was partially reversed by the treatment with protein kinase. These experiments indicate that the reconstituted cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity is reversibly regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanism.

Cytochrome P-450 LM2 purified from rabbit liver microsomes has been shown to be a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Cytochrome b5, in contrast, was a very poor substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase, although it stimulated the activity of the kinase toward histone. When purified rabbit cytochrome b5 was mixed with purified LM2, phosphorylation of LM2 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was inhibited approximately 80-90%. Recently, a functional covalent complex of cytochrome b5 and LM2 was prepared and purified to homogeneity (P.P. Tamburini and J.B. Schenkman (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84, 11-15). When present as a covalent complex with cytochrome b5, the phosphorylation of LM2 in the complex by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was also inhibited about 80-90% relative to an equivalent amount of LM2 alone. On the other hand, when the LM2 was phosphorylated prior to interaction with cytochrome b5, the ability of the latter to perturb the spin equilibrium of LM2 and oxidation of p-nitroanisole by the LM2 was diminished to an extent comparable to the degree of phosphorylation. The results suggest either that the phosphorylation site on LM2 may be within the cytochrome b5 binding site or that phosphorylation and cytochrome b5 cause mutually exclusive conformational changes in LM2. In addition, eight different forms of cytochrome P-450 from the rat (RLM2, RLM3, fRLM4, RLM5, RLM5a, RLM5b, RLM6, and PBRLM5) were examined as potential substrates for cAMP-dependent protein kinase under the same conditions. Maximal phosphorylation of about 20 mol% was obtained with LM2, and about half as much with PBRLM5. The low extent of phosphorylation of LM2 was not due to the prior presence of phosphate on the enzyme since LM2, as isolated, contains less than 0.1 mol phosphate/mol of enzyme. The other forms of cytochrome P-450 tested showed little or no phosphorylation in vitro despite the presence of a cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation sequence on at least two of them.

Cytochrome P-450(11)beta from adrenal cortex is an intrinsic membrane protein embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Topography of the protein inside a phospholipid bilayer was examined using controlled proteolysis of purified cytochrome P-450(11)beta following its integration into artificial liposomes. Inclusion of the protein into phospholipid vesicles led to a marked stabilization of the cytochrome activity. Trypsin treatment of the liposome-integrated cytochrome resulted in the rapid disappearance of the native protein moiety (47 kDa), while a major 34 kDa peptide component was formed. This peptide core retained the heme moiety and part of the cytochrome steroid-11 beta hydroxylase activity. Very similar observations were obtained when inside-out vesicles prepared from isolated adrenocortical mitoplasts were examined with the same approach. It is thus suggested that adrenocortical cytochrome P-450(11)beta is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane as well as in artificial liposomes by a major hydrophobic domain associated with the heme moiety while a limited domain remains accessible on the matrix side of the membrane surface. The previous described phosphorylation of the cytochrome P-450(11)beta on a serine residue, by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase is suggested to occur in the protein domain oriented toward the membrane surface, the phosphorylation site being lost under mild proteolytic digestion of the membrane-integrated protein.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates the renal conversion of 25-OH-vitamin D3 to 1,25-(OH)2-vitamin D3 in young animals. There is evidence that PTH acts via cAMP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase, but the identity of the phosphorylated protein(s) is unknown. The present study investigates the possibility that phosphorylation modification of specific components of the renal mitochondrial, cytochrome P-450-linked 25-OH-vitamin D3-1 alpha-hydroxylase is involved in the regulation of 1,25-(OH)2-vitamin D3 production. Mitochondria were isolated from [32P]phosphate-labeled renal cortical slices which had been divided into control and agonist-treated groups. The hydroxylase protein components from the solubilized mitochondria were partially purified using p-chloroamphetamine-Sepharose affinity chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Phosphorylation was observed only in a protein with an Mr = 12,000 and a pI of 4.2 by autoradiography of the gels. This radiolabeled protein was immunoprecipitated with adrenodoxin antibody. Additionally, the protein in the same Mr region of the polyacrylamide gel reacted with adrenodoxin antibody and co-migrated with bovine adrenodoxin. PTH and forskolin treatment resulted in decreased phosphate incorporation into the protein, whereas A23187 treatment increased the phosphorylation. In parallel experiments, affinity-isolated hydroxylase from control and PTH-treated slices was used to assess in vitro hydroxylase activity using [3H]25-hydroxyvitamin D3 as substrate. The hydroxylase activity derived from PTH-treated tissue was significantly higher than that of control. From these data, it is proposed that renal response to PTH in terms of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 hydroxylase stimulation involves dephosphorylation of renoredoxin, the ferrodoxin component of this hydroxylase complex.

The phosphorylation of a microsomal protein of rabbit liver by catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was shown, and the protein was identified as cytochrome P-450 LM2 on basis of comparative peptide-mapping. Acid hydrolysis of microsome-bound phosphorylated cytochrome P-450 revealed that phosphorylation occurred exclusively on serine residues. This serine residue was identified as the same residue phosphorylated in purified, soluble P-450, that is, serine in position 128.

Partially purified chick kidney mitochondrial Type II protein kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of 1 alpha-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450 without affecting the rate of product formation in vitro when 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity is reconstituted by the addition of [ferredoxin] and [ferredoxin reductase] to the phosphorylated cytochrome. The cytochrome's effective concentration, or its general spectral properties did not change upon phosphorylation. However, when the cytochrome and its ferredoxin were present simultaneously during the phosphorylation reaction, reconstitution of 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity by the addition of ferredoxin reductase failed to catalyze product formation. Although a several fold increase in the kinase activity could be demonstrated in the presence of cAMP, the above phosphorylation effects appear to be cAMP-independent.

The hepatic cyclic nucleotide system and hepatic monooxygenase activity were examined in male rats following intramuscular or subcutaneous Walker 256 carcinosarcoma transplantation. Twelve days of continuous s.c. tumor growth significantly increased hepatic cyclic AMP levels, while levels of cyclic GMP, cytochrome P-450, cytochrome b-5, and p-chloro-N-methylaniline metabolism were significantly decreased. Whole blood from 6 day i.m. tumor-bearing rats incubated with liver slices obtained from non-tumor-bearing rats produced significantly elevated hepatic cyclic AMP levels concurrent with significantly depressed hepatic p-chloro-N-methylaniline metabolism. The chronological monitoring of tumor growth demonstrated a close temporal relationship between decreased cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity, microsomal metabolism of p-chloro-N-methylaniline, and the mixed-function oxidase system. Significant changes in these hepatic enzyme systems occurred as early as 17 hours following tumor transplantation. At this same time, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis revealed the appearance of a 184,000 molecular weight protein in hepatic tissue from all tumor-bearing rats. These studies are compatible with the proposal that the hepatic cyclic AMP system may modulate toxohormone effects on hepatic drug biotransformation.

The various protein kinase activities characterized in adrenal cortex from different mammalian species do not differ in their molecular and catalytic properties from similar types of enzymes described in other tissues. The cyclic AMP-dependent system has been the most thoroughly investigated in adrenocortical tissue and is generally accepted as an obligatory intermediate in the intracellular response to ACTH action. In addition, adrenocortical cells contain two types of messenger independent protein kinases, one of which being selectively activated by polyamines in vitro and possibly related to the control of adrenocortical growth processes. The definition of intracellular phosphorylatable targets related to specific adrenocortical functions might have been obscured by the pleiotypic effects displayed by ACTH, the major effector of these cell activities. Cholesterol esterase appears one of these targets and 11 beta-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450 has been found activated in vitro by a cAMP dependent process. Future research should provide a better understanding of the role of protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation processes as a regulatory device in adrenocortical cell functions. This includes possible complex modulation by multisite phosphorylations of a given target protein, involving several different protein kinase systems under the dependence of separate intracellular effectors.

In this article, current knowledge about the mechanism of action of ACTH will be reviewed. Emphasis will be placed on events which occur subsequent to binding of ACTH to its receptor, stimulation of adenylate cyclase, and activation of protein kinase. In the first part of the review, the acute action of ACTH will be discussed with emphasis on present hypotheses as to the roles of calcium, phospholipids, sterol carrier proteins, and a "labile protein" activator of cholesterol side-chain cleavage. The presumptive role of these factors to increase the binding of cholesterol to the mitochondrial cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme will be discussed in the light of the concept that such binding is the step in steroidogenesis which is activated during the acute response of the adrenal cell to ACTH. In the second part of the article, the long-term action of ACTH to increase the levels of steroidogenic enzymes will be reviewed. Recent evidence is indicative that ACTH causes induction of the synthesis of key steroidogenic enzymes present in both the mitochondria and the microsomes. This appears to result from transcription of genes specific for these various species of cytochrome P-450 and ancillary proteins, resulting in increased synthesis of specific forms of mRNA. Whereas the mitochondrial steroidogenic enzymes are synthesized on cytoplasmic polysomes as precursor forms of higher molecular weight, the microsomal proteins are synthesized as forms of similar molecular weight to the mature forms.

The control of androgen production by the Leydig cell is dependent upon the episodic secretion of hormone (LH), which is released from the anterior pituitary gland in pulses of high biological activity. This mode of episodic LH secretion supports steroidogenic enzyme activity in the testis through interaction with LH receptors and stimulation of the adenylate cyclase/protein kinase sequence, leading to phosphorylation of key intermediates in the steroid biosynthetic pathway. The plasma membrane events that are rapidly activated by the specific interaction of LH or hCG with Leydig cell receptors include increased binding of guanyl nucleotide, and stimulation of cAMP-independent, Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of a 44,500 Mr protein, with the characteristics of the adenylate cyclase nucleotide regulatory unit. Hormonal activation of adenylate cyclase is affected by Ca2+ with the same concentration-dependence, suggesting that nucleotide-induced phosphorylation is related to activation of the catalytic cyclase unit. In addition to the characteristic increases in pregnenolone synthesis and androgen production, gonadotropin-stimulated Leydig cells show prominent changes in LH receptor content and steroidogenic activity that modify their subsequent responses to hormonal signals. Thus, after exposure to increased LH and hCG levels in vivo and in vitro, LH receptors show an initial transient increase (up-regulation) followed by a marked decrease (down-regulation) and a prolonged depletion of LH receptor sites. Large doses of hCG cause "early" (prior to pregnenolone) and "late" steroidogenic lesions (17 alpha-hydroxylase, 17-20 desmolase) that are independent of receptor loss. The early lesion is partly due to reduced activity of HMG CoA reductase, and is mainly attributable to the increased activity of an inhibitory protein factor that modulates the activity of cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme in Leydig cell mitochondria. In contrast, the late steroidogenic lesion is related to the nuclear actions of E2 produced during hormonal action. After hCG stimulation, an increase in nuclear E2 binding was accompanied by an early rise of RNA polymerase activities within 45 min coincident with the maximal increases in circulating testosterone and estradiol levels. These events were followed by the emergence of an E2-induced protein of Mr 27,000 at 3-6 h, and by reduction in the activity of 17 alpha-hydroxylase/17-20 desmolase, and a decrease in microsomal cytochrome P-450.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
