Purified preparations of a protamine protein kinase from bovine kidney cytosol [Damuni, Amick & Sneed (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 6412-6416] were inactivated after incubation with near-homogeneous preparations of protein phosphatase 2A1 and protein phosphatase 2A2. These protein phosphatase 2A-mediated inactivations of the protamine kinase were unaffected by highly purified preparations of inhibitor 2, but were prevented when the incubations were performed in the presence of 100 nM microcystin-LR, 100 nM okadaic acid or 0.2 mM-ATP. By contrast, highly purified preparations of protein phosphatase 2B, protein phosphatase 2C, the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1, and two forms of a protein tyrosine phosphatase, designated PTPase 1B and T-cell PTPase, had little effect, if any, on protamine kinase activity. Purified preparations of the protamine kinase did not react with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, as determined by Western blotting and immunoprecipitation analysis. The results indicate that protein phosphatase 2A is a specific protamine-kinase-inactivating phosphatase.

The superoxide anion generation in Ehrlich ascites tumour (EAT) cells increased more than two-fold in the presence of the tumour promoter, tetradecanoyl phorbol myristate acetate (TPA). Epinephrine and dibutryl cAMP (Bt2 cAMP) inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, both basal and TPA-triggered superoxide generation in EAT cells. The kinetics of inhibition of superoxide generation showed a maximum inhibition between 30 and 40 min of preincubation with epinephrine or Bt2 cAMP of EAT cells and coincided with an increase in activity of a phosphoprotein phosphatase. In TPA-treated EAT cells, epinephrine or Bt2 cAMP increased the phosphatase activity in a dose-dependent manner. In vitro EGTA, EDTA and sodium fluoride inhibited phosphatase activity. Superoxide generation in response to TPA in Triton-permeabilized EAT cells was inhibited by inclusion of the phosphatase in the assay. Taken together, these results clearly suggest that the phosphatase activity in EAT cells develops as a result of protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated phosphorylation of the phosphatase which then mediates dephosphorylation of the PKC-triggered phosphorylation of proteins to inhibit respiratory burst. A cross-talk between PKA and PKC pathways negatively modulates superoxide generation in EAT cells.

Type 1 protein phosphatases (PP-1) comprise a group of widely distributed enzymes that specifically dephosphorylate serine and threonine residues of certain phosphoproteins. They all contain an isoform of the same catalytic subunit, which has an extremely conserved primary structure. One of the properties of PP-1 that allows one to distinguish them from other serine/threonine protein phosphatases is their sensitivity to inhibition by two proteins, termed inhibitor 1 and inhibitor 2, or modulator. The latter protein can also form a 1:1 complex with the catalytic subunit that slowly inactivates upon incubation. This complex is reactivated in vitro by incubation with MgATP and protein kinase FA/GSK-3. In the cell the type 1 catalytic subunit is associated with noncatalytic subunits that determine the activity, the substrate specificity, and the subcellular location of the phosphatase. PP-1 plays an essential role in glycogen metabolism, calcium transport, muscle contraction, intracellular transport, protein synthesis, and cell division. The activity of PP-1 is regulated by hormones like insulin, glucagon, alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists, glucocorticoids, and thyroid hormones.

During anaerobic growth, nitrate induces synthesis of the anaerobic respiratory enzymes formate dehydrogenase-N and nitrate reductase. This induction is mediated by a transcription activator, the narL gene product. The narX gene product may be involved in sensing nitrate and phosphorylating NARL. We isolated narX mutants, designated narX*, that caused nitrate-independent expression of the formate dehydrogenase-N and nitrate reductase structural genes. We used lambda narX specialized transducing phage to genetically analyze these lesions in single copy. Two previously isolated narX* mutations, narX32 and narX71, were also constructed by site-specific mutagenesis. We found that each of these alleles caused nitrate-independent synthesis of formate dehydrogenase-N and nitrate reductase, and each was recessive to narX+. The narX* mutations lie in a region of similarity with the methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein Tsr. We suggest that the narX* proteins have lost a transmembrane signalling function such that phosphoprotein phosphatase activity is reduced relative to protein kinase activity.

Protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) and -2A (PP-2A), two regulatory subunits of PP-1, the glycogen-binding subunit G and inhibitor-2 (I-2), kinase FA, and casein kinase II (CK-II) were investigated in skeletal muscle of diabetic rats 2 days after streptozotocin injection. FA and CK-II activate PP-1 in vitro and might be involved in the activation of PP-1 by insulin. Following muscle fractionation we found that (1) diabetes decreased both basal and trypsin-stimulated PP-1 activities; the decrease was more significant in the glycogen-bound and microsomal fractions than in the cytosol (cytosolic PP-1 decreased as specific activity but not as activity/g of muscle); also PP-2A was lower in diabetic cytosols; (2) less G was immunoprecipitated from diabetic glycogen-bound fractions compared to controls, while I-2 was not significantly changed; (3) diabetes decreased also FA (assayed as PP-1 activator) and CK-II (assayed using a synthetic peptide as substrate); (4) diabetes did not have any effect on phosphorylase (a + b) activity in the glycogen-bound fraction. Altogether the data show that acute diabetes decreased PP-1, one of its regulatory subunits and two potentially physiological regulators of PP-1, in addition to PP-2A. This may indicate that insulin is responsible for the long-term regulation of the same enzymes that are also under acute insulin control.

The effect of CPT-cAMP and okadaic acid on phosphatidylcholine catabolism in suspension cultures of choline-deficient rat hepatocytes was investigated. Choline-deficient hepatocytes were pulse-labeled for 30 min with [methyl-3H]choline and subsequently chased for up to 60 min with choline in the absence or presence of 0.5 mM CPT-cAMP or 0.5 microM okadaic acid. Radioactivity in phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine were unchanged during the chase. However, the radioactivity incorporated into glycerophosphocholine was significantly increased (P less than 0.05) 59 and 77% after 60 min of chase in hepatocytes incubated with either okadaic acid or CPT-cAMP, respectively. Incubation of choline-deficient hepatocytes with both okadaic acid and CPT-cAMP produced an additive effect on radioactivity incorporated ino glycerophosphocholine. Crude mitochondrial, microsomal, and cytosolic phospholipaselysophospholipase activities, assayed in the presence of exogenously labeled phosphatidylcholine, were unchanged in both CPT-cAMP and okadaic acid treated hepatocytes compared with control. Phospholipase-lysophospholipase activity, assayed with endogenously labeled phosphatidylcholine, was increased 28 and 47% (P less than 0.05) in the crude mitochondrial fraction of hepatocytes treated with either okadaic acid or CPT-cAMP, respectively, compared with the control. Incubation of choline-deficient hepatocytes, labeled with L-[methyl-3H]methionine, with CPT-cAMP or okadaic acid caused a 31 and 20% increase (P less than 0.05) in the radioactivity incorporated into glycerophosphocholine, respectively, compared with the control. We postulate that phosphatidylcholine catabolism in choline-deficient hepatocytes may be regulated by a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation mechanism mediated through cAMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphoprotein phosphatase activities.

Several rat liver HMG-CoA-reductase (HMG-CoA-Rd) phosphatase activities have been shown to be associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. These activities were not due to glycogen contamination, as judged not only from different patterns of solubilization of the microsomal membranes and the glycogen pellet but also by differential centrifugation behavior under standard conditions and in a sucrose gradient. We present evidence that at least three forms of protein phosphatase are associated with microsomal membranes: a polycation-stimulated type 2A phosphatase, a type 2C phosphatase, and a non-2A, non-2B, non-2C phosphatase. This last HMG-CoA-Rd phosphatase activity corresponding to an 85 kDa protein was partially purified by several chromatographic procedures. The IC50 value for the inhibition of the HMG-CoA-Rd phosphatase by I-2 was 10-fold higher than for the inhibition of the purified type 1 catalytic subunit from rabbit skeletal muscle. The microsomal HMG-CoA-Rd phosphatase activity was slightly affected by the protein inhibitor that inhibits type 2A activity when HMG-CoA reductase is the substrate. The HMG-CoA-Rd phosphatase activity is spontaneously active and it is not reactivated in the presence of Mg2+ or polycations. The holoenzyme does not contain the inhibitor-2 and it is not reactivated by incubation with ATP and glycogen synthase kinase-3. Proteolytic treatment of the enzyme yielded a polypeptide fragment of low Mr (37 kDa) with reduced activity. A model of holoenzymatic HMG-CoA-Rd phosphatase and its relation to the microsomal membranes is presented.

1. In the adipocyte, phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of regulatory proteins is a common mechanism of metabolic regulation. We have observed a very prominent phosphoprotein doublet of 61 kDa and 63 kDa in rat adipocytes that is markedly responsive to hormones. The 63 kDa band was the predominant phosphoprotein in the cell in response to 0.1 microM-isoprenaline, whereas the 61 kDa band was nearly absent. Insulin alone did not alter 32P incorporation into the doublet, but partially counteracted the effects of isoprenaline, decreasing label in the 63 kDa band by as much as 50% and resulting in the reappearance of the 61 kDa band. 2. Subcellular fractionation demonstrated that both phosphoprotein bands were fat-associated. Neither insulin nor isoprenaline altered this localization. Peptide maps (one-dimensional) of the 61/63 kDa bands demonstrated close sequence similarity. Amino acid analysis revealed the presence of phosphoserine and phosphothreonine. The latter was more prominent in the 61 kDa band. Isoprenaline caused an absolute increase in both phosphoamino acids. 3. Permeabilization of 32P-labelled isoprenaline-treated cells with digitonin initiated rapid dephosphorylation of the 63 kDa band, with reappearance of the 61 kDa band. Insulin increased the rate of dephosphorylation by 2-3-fold when present with isoprenaline before permeabilization. 4. In permeabilized adipocytes, cyclic AMP (1 microM-1 mM) increased phosphorylation of the 61/63 kDa doublet by 4-10-fold in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP, but insulin had no effect. 5. We conclude that this prominent phosphoprotein, migrating as a 61/63 kDa doublet, is coupled to the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and is associated with an insulin-stimulated phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. This fat-associated phosphoprotein, which is under counter-regulatory hormonal control, may play a role in hormone-dependent lipid metabolism.

A neuron-specific Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, CaM kinase Gr, phosphorylates selectively a Ras-related GTP-binding protein (Rap-1b) that is enriched in brain tissue. The phosphorylation reaction achieves a stoichiometry of about 1 and involves a serine residue near the carboxyl terminus of the substrate. Both CaM kinase Gr and cAMP-dependent protein kinase, but not CaM kinase II, phosphorylate identical or contiguous serine residues in Rap-1b. The rate of phosphorylation of Rap-1b by CaM kinase Gr is enhanced following autophosphorylation of the protein kinase. Other low molecular weight GTP-binding proteins belonging to the Ras superfamily, including Rab-3A, Rap-2b, and c-Ha-ras p21, are not phosphorylated by CaM kinase Gr. The phosphorylation of Rap-1b itself can be reversed by an endogenous brain phosphoprotein phosphatase. These observations provide a potential connection between a neuronal Ca2(+)-signaling pathway and a specific low molecular weight GTP-binding protein that may regulate neuronal transmembrane signaling, vesicle transport, or neurotransmitter release.

The 160 and 150 kDa proteins of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) are phosphorylated endogenously. The phosphorylation of both proteins has a marked requirement for Ca2+. Half-maximal and maximal phosphorylation was obtained at about 1 nM- and 1 microM-Ca2+ respectively, and a Hill coefficient of about 0.5 was calculated. The phosphorylation is also dependent on NaF as an inhibitor of the SR phosphoprotein phosphatase. The phosphorylation of these proteins is very rapid, and maximal phosphorylation is achieved in less than 15 s. The phosphorylation of the 160 kDa and 150 kDa polypeptides is completely inhibited by 5 mM-MgCl2 and by 75 microM-LaCl3, by very low concentrations of different detergents, and by preincubation of the SR for 2 min at 60 degrees C. The inhibition by Mg2+ is due to stimulation of ATP hydrolysis, thereby decreasing ATP concentration. Different phosphorylated peptides were obtained by digestion with protease V8 of the 160 kDa and 150 kDa protein bands, suggesting that the 160 kDa and 150 kDa proteins are distinct. The two phosphorylated proteins are present in different fractions and preparations of SR, with or without [3H]PN200-110 binding capacity. These and other results suggest that the phosphorylated SR proteins are distinct from the alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits of the voltage-gated Ca2+ channel of the T-system membranes. Different inhibitors and activators of protein kinase C and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase have no effect on the endogenous phosphorylation of both polypeptides, suggesting that the phosphorylation is regulated solely by Ca2+. A possible regulatory function for this phosphorylation system is described in the accompanying paper [Gechtman. Orr & Shoshan-Barmatz (1991) Biochem. J. 276.97-102].
