A kinetic analysis of the tyrosine-specific protein kinase of pp60c-src from the C1300 mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro-2A and pp60c-src expressed in fibroblasts was carried out to determine the nature of the increased specific activity of the neuroblastoma enzyme. In immune-complex kinase assays with ATP-Mn2+ and the tyrosine-containing peptide angiotensin I as phosphoacceptor substrate, pp60c-src from the neuroblastoma cell line was characterized by a maximum velocity (Vmax.) that was 7-15-fold greater than the Vmax. of pp60c-src from fibroblasts. The neuroblastoma enzyme exhibited Km values for ATP (16 +/- 3 microM) and angiotensin I (6.8 +/- 2.6 mM) that were similar to Km values for ATP (25 +/- 3 microM) and angiotensin I (6.5 +/- 1.7 mM) of pp60c-src from fibroblasts. pp60v-src expressed in Rous-sarcoma-virus-transformed cells exhibited an ATP Km value (25 +/- 4 microM) and an angiotensin I Km value (6.6 +/- 0.5 mM) that approximated the values determined for pp60c-src in neuroblastoma cells and fibroblasts. These results indicate that the pp60c-src kinase from neuroblastoma cells has a higher turnover number than pp60c-src kinase from fibroblasts, and that the neural form of the enzyme would be expected to exhibit increased catalytic activity at the saturating concentrations of ATP that are found intracellularly.

A tyrosine protein kinase activity has been partially purified from calf thymus using the phosphorylation of the tyrosine-containing peptide angiotensin I as an assay. Detergent extracts of calf thymus possessed only low levels of specific peptide phosphorylating activity when assayed at low ionic strength. The inclusion of NaCl at a concentration of 2 M stimulated endogenous tyrosine protein kinase activity, while the activity of other endogenous kinases was inhibited. This sensitivity to NaCl was retained following partial purification of the enzyme. The phosphorylation of other substrates such as casein or the R-R-SRC peptide (Arg-Arg-Leu-Ile-Glu-Asp-Ala-Glu-Tyr-Ala-Ala-Arg-Gly) by the tyrosine protein kinase was less sensitive to NaCl. Phosphorylation of the PK-1 peptide (Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly) by the purified catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase was inhibited by NaCl. The effect of NaCl on angiotensin I phosphorylation could be mimicked by KCl or sodium acetate. The principal effect of NaCl was to increase the Vmax of the enzyme for the phosphorylation of angiotensin I. At low ionic strength, Mn2+ and Co2+ were the preferred required divalent cations. At elevated NaCl concentrations Mg2+ was preferred, with half-maximal activation occurring at 35 mM Mg2+. By conducting peptide phosphorylation assays in the presence of elevated levels of Mg2+ and NaCl, tyrosine protein kinase activity can readily be detected in extracts from cell lines that express low levels of the enzyme.

Angiotensin II, catecholamines, and vasopressin can stimulate the phosphorylation of 10 hepatic cytosolic proteins via a Ca2+-linked, cyclic AMP-independent mechanism. To explore the role of known Ca2+-sensitive protein kinases in this response, [32P]PO4(3-)-labeled hepatocytes were stimulated with various agonists, the cytoplasmic proteins were separated on two-dimensional gels, and the resulting autoradiographs were computer analyzed. The role of phosphorylase kinase was examined using hepatocytes from gsd/gsd rats which are deficient in this enzyme. The phosphorylation state of phosphorylase was not increased by glucagon, angiotensin II, or vasopressin in hepatocytes from the gsd/gsd animals. The phosphorylation state of all other substrates was changed by glucagon or the Ca2+-linked hormones to the same extent in gsd/gsd hepatocytes as in normal Wistar controls, suggesting that phosphorylase kinase plays a restricted role in the hormone response. The role of the Ca2+- and phospholipid-sensitive protein kinase (protein kinase C) was examined by stimulating hepatocytes with phorbol esters which are thought to activate protein kinase C by substituting for diacylglycerol. Phorbol esters increased the phosphorylation state of 3 of the 10 substrates affected by angiotensin II or vasopressin, but did not stimulate Ca2+ fluxes in hepatocytes. Treatment of hepatocytes with the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 mimicked the effect of the Ca2+-linked hormones on the phosphorylation of the other 7 substrates. The results demonstrate that at least three Ca2+-sensitive protein kinases are involved in the response of hepatocytes to Ca2+-linked hormones. Since these kinases can be activated independently by phorbol esters or A23187, the results imply that hormones such as vasopressin generate two intracellular messengers, diacylglycerol and Ca2+ ion.

Angiotensin II (AII) regulates the secretion of aldosterone from adrenal glomerulosa cells by a calcium-dependent mechanism which involves both the uptake of calcium from the extracellular pool, and the release of calcium from a dantrolene-sensitive intracellular pool. In the present study, it was shown that AII induces the rapid (10 s) hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and -4,5-bisphosphate, leading to the sustained production of inositol bis- and trisphosphate (Ins-P3), and diacylglycerol rich in arachidonic acid. Saponin-permeabilized glomerulosa cells accumulate calcium into a nonmitochondrial pool by an ATP-dependent manner. Ins-P3 (0.5-5 microM) induces a release of Ca2+ from this pool. This release was blocked by dantrolene (10 microM). Adrenal glomerulosa cells were shown to contain the calcium-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (C-kinase). Perfusion of glomerulosa cells with combined 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate and A23187 induced an immediately developing, sustained, maximal secretory response similar to that induced by AII. These data are interpreted in terms of a model in which, after AII addition, there is a flow of information through two separate branches of the calcium messenger system, each with its unique temporal role: a calmodulin branch activated by the transient rise in the [Ca2+] in the cell cytosol, which is largely responsible for the initial transient cellular response; and a C-kinase branch activated by the increase in both cytosolic [Ca2+] and the diacylglycerol content of the plasma membrane, which is largely responsible for the sustained phase of the cellular response. The temporal integration of these two phases underlies the observed pattern of cellular response.

Murine B and T lymphocytes each contain a protein kinase activity that catalyzes the phosphorylation of both endogenous and exogenous substrates on tyrosine residues. In B lymphocytes, endogenous substrates of 56,000 and 60,000 daltons are found in the particulate fraction. Peptide mapping experiments indicate that these two substrates are closely related but are distinct from the major 58,000-dalton tyrosine protein kinase substrate found in T lymphocytes. To determine if the same kinase is active in both B and T lymphocytes, their substrate specificities were compared using two exogenously added substrates: angiotensin I and the cytoplasmic domain of the erythrocyte band 3 protein. LSTRA, a lymphoma cell line that expresses elevated levels of the T lymphocyte kinase (Casnellie, J. E., Harrison, M. L., Hellstrom, K. E., and Krebs, E. G. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 10738-10742), was used as a source of this enzyme. Kinetic analyses indicate that angiotensin I serves as a better substrate for the LSTRA kinase than for the B cell enzyme. Band 3, however, is preferentially phosphorylated by the B cell kinase. These results indicate that B and T lymphocytes express distinct tyrosine protein kinases.

A glycoprotein-enriched fraction derived from 3T3-L1 adipocyte membranes by Triton X-100 extraction and chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin-agarose contains an insulin-activable protein kinase that catalyzes the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in proteins (Petruzzelli, L. M., Ganguly, S., Smith, C.J., Cobb, M. H., Rubin, C.S., and Rosen, O. M. (1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 79, 6792-6796). The best peptide substrates for the enzyme are angiotensin II, and a synthetic peptide related to the amino acid sequence surrounding the site of tyrosine phosphorylation in the transforming protein kinase of Rous sarcoma virus. Kinetic analysis of the phosphorylation reaction with angiotensin II showed that insulin decreased the Km from 5.0 to 2.6 mM, and increased the Vmax from 0.6 to 2.2 pmol/min/10 fmol of insulin binding capacity. For the src-related peptide, the addition of insulin decreased the Km from 1.6 to 1.2 mM and increased the Vmax from 0.17 to 2.2 pmol/min/10 fmol of insulin binding capacity. Angiotensin III inhibitor, proctolin, beta-lipotropin (61-65) and Tyr-Arg were poorer substrates for the protein kinase. Protein substrates for the insulin-stimulated protein kinase include anti-src IgG, tubulin, casein, and histone H2b. The data suggest that the substrate specificity of the insulin-activable protein kinase is similar to that reported for the src and epidermal growth factor receptor protein kinases.

Prorenin (Pro) is synthesized in a number of human utero-placental tissues, including chorion, decidua, villous placenta and probably mesenchymal cells. The release of Pro from these extra-renal tissues follows new protein synthesis and appears to utilize the constitutive secretory pathway. Unlike processing in the kidney, very little of the Pro is subsequently cleaved to the smaller product (active renin). Primary signals which regulate Pro include protein hormones and peptides (relaxin, endothelin, hCG), amines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and related beta adrenergic agents), and eicosanoids. These agents increase the mRNA for prorenin at a time before peak secretory effects are noted. Other extracellular signals have negative regulatory effects. These include angiotensin, endotoxin and cytokines (TNF-alpha and interleukin-1 B). There is also evidence that glucocorticoid receptor activation has an inhibitory effects on Pro release in placenta. Second messengers involved in the regulation of Pro include cyclic AMP and protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), and calcium. The possible biological effect(s) of the extracellular Pro are unknown but may be due to direct generation of angiotensin I. Since angiotensin-peptides have a number of trophic effect on both vascular and non-vascular tissues, regulation of utero-placental Pro by autocrine, paracrine or endocrine signalling may be critical in normal fetal and/or placental development.

Angiotensin II induces protein tyrosine kinase activation and apparent decreased electrophoretic mobility of the c-raf-1 serine/threonine protein kinase in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation of at least 9 cellular proteins with molecular weights of 151, 131, 116, 110, 90, 65, 62, 60, 52 kd was induced in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, and included a serine/threonine protein kinase. The phosphotyrosine containing proteins differed from those induced by PDGF BB or AB. Angiotensin II by itself was shown not to act as a mitogen in cultured smooth muscle cells.

Mechanical stress induces cardiac hypertrophy and expression of specific genes in the cardiac myocytes. External stimuli are generally transduced into the nucleus through the activation of a protein kinase cascade. We have previously shown that stretching cardiomyocytes stimulates the activity of protein kinase C (PKC), mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and S6 protein kinase. In the present study, we examined two other kinases, Raf-1 kinase and MAP kinase kinase, which are supposed to lie between PKC and MAP kinase in the protein kinase cascade. Stretching cardiocytes by using the in vitro system induced hyperphosphorylation of Raf-1 kinase and activation of MAP kinase kinase. The protein kinases activated by mechanical stress are similar to those activated by growth factors. We examined the possible involvement of angiotensin II (Ang II) in the protein synthesis and gene expression induced by mechanical stress. CV11974, an Ang II-receptor antagonist, partially suppressed the increases in amino acid incorporation, c-fos gene expression and MAP kinase activity induced by stretching. These results suggest that a variety of protein kinases are activated by mechanical stress and that locally produced Ang II may in part play important roles in converting mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals.

The type 1B angiotensin II (AT1B) receptor cloned from rat kidney was stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The stably expressed receptor was characterized by radioligand binding studies and functional coupling to inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) formation. Exposure of cells expressing the AT1B receptor to angiotensin II (Ang II) resulted in a rapid and dose-dependent homologous desensitization of receptor-mediated production of IP3, with an essentially complete desensitization at an agonist concentration > 10 nmol/L. Binding studies revealed no significant change in the number of AT1B receptors in transfected cells exposed to 1 nmol/L Ang II, whereas exposure to 100 nmol/L Ang II caused a rapid decrease of cell surface receptors, with a 75% loss of receptor number seen at 1 hour. Rapid desensitization occurred in the absence of receptor internalization. Blockade of receptor internalization with concanavalin A had at most only a slight effect on the agonist-induced desensitization. This indicates that factors other than internalization are chiefly responsible for the rapid agonist-induced desensitization. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, caused rapid desensitization of the receptor-mediated IP3 response. Neither tyrosine kinase inhibitors nor a protein kinase A activator affected the receptor-mediated IP3 response. The specific PKC inhibitor GF109203X or PKC depletion by prolonged treatment with 1 mumol/L PMA completely blocked the PMA-dependent desensitization. Desensitization evoked by a low Ang II agonist concentration (1 nmol/L) was reversed by the PKC-specific inhibitor GF109203X or PKC depletion, whereas the desensitizing effect at a high agonist concentration (100 nmol/L) is only partially prevented by PKC inhibitory treatment. These results demonstrate that PKC plays a crucial role in the desensitization of the AT1B receptor. They also suggest that receptor internalization and an additional PKC-independent pathway also contribute to desensitization of the AT1B receptor in transfected cells.
