Extracts of fasted rat diaphragms, previously treated with or without insulin were assayed for glycogen synthase, protein kinase and cyclic [3H]-AMP binding. Treatment with insulin produced an elevation in the % of glycogen synthase I and a concurrent decrease in cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity and cyclic [3H]-AMP binding. Analysis of extracts by disc gel electrophoresis demonstrated the inhibition of cyclic [3H]-AMP binding to involve the Type I protein kinase holoenzyme. Inhibition of protein kinase activity was most apparent in the presence of 0.2 micrometer cyclic AMP, with enzymatic activity of the insulin-treated extracts typically 60--65% of control. Higher assay concentrations diminished the difference between control and insulin-treated extracts and concentrations greater than 20 micrometer abolished it. The inhibition of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity after insulin was a transient and labile phenomenon. The effect was independent of ATP concentration in the assay, but was sensitive to the pH of tissue extraction, requiring a pH of 7.0 to 8.4 to be observed. Insulin-mediated inhibition of protein kinase activity was reversed upon preincubation of extracts at 0--2 degrees. Relatively concentrated homogenates (less than 4 microliter buffer/mg tissue) yielded extracts which exhibited little or no inhibition of protein kinase activity compared to extracts prepared from more dilute (6--10 microliter/mg) homogenates. A model for the inhibition of the cyclic-AMP dependent protein kinase by an insulin-generated inhibitor which becomes directly associated with the Type 1 holoenzyme is proposed.

cAMP independent glycogen synthase kinase and phosvitin kinase activity was purified from the 180 000 x g supernatant of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes by ammonium sulphate precipitation and phosphocellulose chromatography. The cAMP independent glycogen synthase kinase eluted from the phosphocellulose at 0.54 M NaCl (peak A) separate from the major phosvitin kinase eluting at 0.68 M NaCl (peak B). The kinase activity of both peaks tended to form aggregates, but in the presence of 0.6 M NaCl, the peak B enzyme had Mr 250 000, 7.2S and the peak A enzyme Mr 38 000, 3.8S. The ratio between synthase kinase and phosvitin kinase activity in peak A was 1:3.2 and in peak B 1:31.4. In addition the kinase activities differed with respect to sensitivity to temperature, ionic strength and CaCl2. It is suggested that the peak A enzyme represents the cAMP independent glycogen synthase kinase of leukocytes, whereas the peak B enzyme is a phosvitin kinase, which is insignificantly contaminated with some synthase kinase (peak A) and contains a separate, second synthase kinase. Synthase kinase had Kmapp 4.2 microM for muscle glycogen synthease I and Kmapp 45 microM for ATP. GTP was a poor substrate. The activity was not influenced by cyclic nucleotides, Ca2+, or glucose-6-P. Synthase I from muscle and leukocytes was phosphorylated to a ratio of independence of less than 0.05.

Liver glycogen synthase b phosphatase, chromatographically separable from phosphorylase a phosphatase, is decreased in 48-hour alloxan diabetic rats. The phosphatase activities are measured in an in vitro system using exogenous isolated phospho-enzyme as substrates with added phosphatases. Synthase and phosphorylase phosphatases were shown to have differential catalytic properties by their reactivity in the presence of Pi, the heat-stable inhibitor of phosphorylase phosphatase and after incubation with added cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Plasma membranes have been prepared from porcine thyroid glands using sucrose gradients. The fractions having a density in sucrose of 1.18 g/ml mainly contained plasma membranes and were moderately contaminated with other subcellular components as shown by marker enzyme data. Purified plasma membranes incubated in the presence of [32-P]gamma ATP incorporated 32-P. Kinetics of incorporation of 32-P into endogenous substrates studied in various buffers and with increasing ATP concentration suggest a phosphodephosphorylating system related to cAMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphoprotein phosphatase activities. The two enzymatic activities associated with plasma membranes have been demonstrated using exogenous substrates. cAMP increases and fluoride ions decrease the extent of membrane phosphorylation. The specific activity of protein kinase was 10-12 times higher than in the initial homogenate and was only slightly enhanced in the presence of 0.5% Nonidet as compared to microsomal fraction. cAMP binding to membrane proteins was 3 times higher than to the other particulate fractions. TSH present in the incubating medium or added after 5 min of 32-P labelling induced a rapid stimulation of endogenous phosphorylation followed by a rapid decrease. Phosphorylated membrane substrates were analyzed: high voltage paper electrophoresis after partial hydrolysis indicated that [32-P]phosphate is incorporated into serine and threonine residues as o-phosphate derivatives. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed several 32--labelled fractions. When enhanced by cAMP, no specific phosphorylation of protein components was observed.

Rats treated with T3 (triiodothyronine) showed an increased heart weight after 3 days reaching 100% after 3 weeks of treatment compared to untreated controls. Cytosol protein kinases were not significantly different in the T3 treated rats compared to controls. The protein kinase activity of the NHP (nonhistone proteins) increased after 2 hours and doubled after 3 days for each substrate tested. After 1 week of T3 treatment the protein kinase activity returned to the control value and remained at the control level for the remainder of the 3 week experimental period. A study of the distribution of protein kinase activity in the NHP by disc gel electrophoresis showed that there was a difference in the distribution of some peaks in the T3 treated animals compared to the controls. T3 in concentrations from 10(-11) to 10(-3) M had no in vitro effect on the phosvitin kinase activity of NHP and of cytosol.

The protein kinase activities of a transplantable, insulin-producing hamster islet cell tumor were characterized using gel filtration, sucrose density gradient centrifugation and acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The post-microsomal supernatant fluid contains 70-80% of the protein kinase activity present in crude homogenates. A cAMP-dependent protein kinase, PK I (Mr 170,000), represents 25% of the soluble protein kinase activity assayed with protamine as substrate. It dissociates in the presence of cAMP into a cAMP-binding protein, R2 (Mr 90,000) and a catalytic subunit C (Mr 33,000). The dissociation induced by cAMP seems to be facilitated by the addition of Mg2+ and ATP. The regulatory subunit, R2, changes its gel filtration pattern in the presence of 0.5 M NaCl suggesting dissociation into a smaller subunit, R1 (Mr 44,000). By analogy with purified beef heart protein kinase (Erlichman et al., 1973) and skeletal muscle protein kinase, PK I. The presence in crude homogenates of a free cAMP-binding protein indistinguishable from the R2 derived by dissociation of PK I, suggests that PK I is partially dissociated in vivo. A cAMP-independent (casein) kinase (Mr 210,000) elutes with PK I on columns of Sepharose 6B. Another cAMP-independent protein kinase, PK II (Mr 88,000), is the predominatn form of soluble protein kinase accounting for approximately 75% of the soluble protein kinase activity detected using protaimine as substrate. This cAMP-independent protein kinase changes its gel filtration pattern in the presence of 0.5 M NaCl giving rise to a form which appears to have the same Mr (33,000) as the catalytic subunit of PK I. Studies comparing the catalytic subunit C of PK I with PK II and its salt-induced smaller molecular form demonstrate facile association of C with the cAMP-binding protein of purified bovine heart protein kinase to yield a hybrid holoenzyme, whereas PK II and its smaller form fail to recombine in this fashion. The 33,000 dalton forms derived from PK I (by cAMP) and PK II (by salt) also show different substrate specificities. It would appear, therefore, that pK II is a cAMP-independent protein kinase unrelated to PK I.

The adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein phosphokinase of rat interstitial cells was characterized by ion-exchange chromatography and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The 0.2 M NaCl fraction from DEAE-Sephadex showed a small 2.9-S peak of basal enzyme activity, and a large 6.5-S peak of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity; fractions eluted from DEAE-Sephadex with 0.3-0.5 M NaCl contained a major 3.8-S peak of cyclic AMP-dependent enzyme activity. Activation of protein kinase in cell extracts by cyclic AMP, and in intact interstitial cells by trophic hormone, caused a major shift of enzyme activity to the 2.9-S cyclic AMP-dependent form which was eluted from DEAE-Sephadex by 0.2 M NaCl. These results are consistent with the presence of two distinct protein kinase holoenzymes, with a common 2.9-S catalytic subunit. During hormonal activation of protein kinase in dispersed interstitial cells by 10-10 M human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), conversion to the 2.9-S catalytic subunit was observed between 2 and 30 min of incubation. Protein kinase activity was correlated with cyclic AMP production, and full enzyme activation occurred at the time of maximum intracellular cyclic AMP concentration. The presence of two forms of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the Leydig cell provides a potential mechanism whereby progressive occupancy of gonadotropin receptors could evoke a series of discrete target cell responses.

In this work the kinetics of activation of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase by several catecholamines and ACTH, have been studied in rat epididymal fat pads and isolated fat cells. The method of Soderling and co-workers which permits the measurement of the state of activation of the protein kinase after hormonal stimulation in adipose tissue, has been used. Kinetics experiments where norepinephrine was used showed that the results obtained with isolated cells conform to the models of Sutherland and Brostrom and co-workers. Wtih intact tissue, norepinephrine not only stimulates the protein kinase activity measured without exogenous cyclic AMP but also the total activity measured in the presence of cyclic AMP (5 X 10(-6) M); thus the effect of norepinephrine, obtained during incubation of the tissue, and that of cyclic AMP, added to the soluble fraction after incubation, were additive. This effect seems to be of the beta type because it is blocked completely by propranolol. A weak, additive but significant effect was also obtained with epinephrine and isoproterenol but not with ACTH. Neither cyclic GMP nor cyclic IMP seems implicated in this effect. It was shown that stroma vascular cells which are present in the fat pads are not involved. These results suggest that the effects of norepinephrine on the protein kinase of the fat pads cannot be completely explained by the model of Brostrom and colleagues.

The regulation patterns of gastric acid secretion in rats were investigated. Pentagastrin and histamine stimulate gastric acid secretion, but the inhibitors of DNA-dependent synthesis of RNA and of proteins prevent only the pentagastrin action. It has been found that pentagastrin induces histidine decarboxylase in gastric mucosa, ensuring local accumulation of histamine. The latter activates adenylate cyclase and results in 3',5'-AMP accumulation in gastric tissues. The administration of pentagastrin, histamine or 3',5'-AMP enhances the activity of gastric carbonic anhydrase, the enzyme which takes part in HCl formation. The data suggest that these three compounds act sequentially (pentagastrin leads to histamine leads to3',5'-AMP) and the effect of the last one could be mediated through 3',5'-AMP dependent protein kinase. The experiments in vitro demonstrated that gastric carbonic anhydrase can be separated into two isoenzymes and thephosphorylation of one of them by the 3',5'-AMP dependent protein kinase sharply increases its activity. The findings raise the possibility that histamine and 3',5'-AMP, mediating gastrin action, form together with enzymes (histidine decarboxylase, adenylate cyclase, protein kinase, carbonic anhydrase) a caascade of amplifiers. Autoradiographic studies have shown that [3H]-pentagastrin is not bound by oxyntic cells but adheres preferentially to histamine-producing alpha-like endocrine cells and to the chief cells, while 3H-histamine adheres preferentially to oxyntic and to chief cells. Electron microscopy indicates that only pentagastrin (but not histamine) initiates in alpha-like endocrine cells ultrastructural changes characteristic for induction. Pentagastrin, histamine and 3',5'-AMP administration produces in oxyntic cells ultrastructural changes typical for the secretion processes. These results lead to assumption that pentagastrin (gastrin) induces histidine decarboxylase in alpha-like endocrine cells of gastric glands. Histamine which is secreted enhances adenylate cyclase activity in the neighbouring oxyntic cells where 3',5'-AMP dependent protein kinase activates carbonic anhydrase by means of phosphorylation. These different cells form, probably, a multicellular functional unit for gastric acid secretion.

The protein kinase of normal human adrenal cytosol has been resolved by DEAE-cellulose chromatography into two major components, the protein kinases I and II, which are both adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) dependent. Both enzymes have similar substrate specificities, cAMP-dependency, and sensitivity to the stimulation by this nucleotide, but differ in their states of activation after preincubation with histone. The DEAE--cellulose charomatography of dissociated cytosol protein kinase reveals only one peak of kinase activity and two peaks of cAMP binding activity (A and B). Both binding proteins are able to inhibit the kinase activity of the catalytic subunit. Recombination experiments suggest that the regulatory subunit A originated from protein kinase I and subunit B from protein kinase II. The phosphorylation of histone by adrenal protein kinases is inhibited by a heat-stable protein inhibitor isolated from human fetal brain and human adult adrenal.
