The cDNA for rat liver glycogen synthase was isolated by screening a rat liver cDNA library constructed in lambda gt11. The cDNA was 2.4 kilobases in length and encoded a protein of 703 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 80.5 kDa. Comparison of the rat liver and the human muscle sequences show that the amino- and carboxyl-terminal regions are quite divergent as compared to the internal sequences which show an 80% identity. The rat liver carboxyl-terminal region is truncated by 33 residues and has only 46% identity with the muscle sequence but retains the common feature of a low content of hydrophobic amino acids (13%). Phosphorylation sites 1a and 1b, which are the primary targets for phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, are absent in the liver sequence. The presence of these divergent, structurally anomalous carboxyl-terminal regions in liver and muscle glycogen synthase suggests the absence of the requirement that they possess a tertiary structure that is integral to that of the protein core. A model is proposed in which this region interacts with a catalytic core to maintain the I state, and in which phosphorylation serves to uncouple this interaction.

32P-labeled glycogen synthase specifically immunoprecipitated from 32P-phosphate incubated rat hepatocytes contains, in addition to [32P] phosphoserine, significant levels of [32P] phosphothreonine (7% of the total [32P] phosphoaminoacids). When the 32P-immunoprecipitate was cleaved with CNBr, the [32P] phosphothreonine was recovered in the large CNBr fragment (CB-2, Mapp 28 Kd). Homogeneous rat liver glycogen synthase was phosphorylated by all the protein kinases able to phosphorylate CB-2 "in vitro" (casein kinases I and II, cAMP-dependent protein kinase and glycogen synthase kinase-3). After analysis of the immunoprecipitated enzyme for phosphoaminoacids, it was observed that only casein kinase II was able to phosphorylate on threonine and 32P-phosphate was only found in CB-2. These results demonstrate that rat liver glycogen synthase is phosphorylated at threonine site(s) contained in CB-2 and strongly indicate that casein kinase II may play a role in the "in vivo" phosphorylation of liver glycogen synthase. This is the first protein kinase reported to phosphorylate threonine residues in liver glycogen synthase.

Rat liver glycogen synthase was phosphorylated by purified protein kinase C in a Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent fashion to 1-1.4 mol PO4/subunit. Analysis of the 32P-labeled tryptic peptides derived from the phosphorylated synthase by isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional peptide mapping revealed the presence of a major radioactive peptide. The sites in liver synthase phosphorylated by protein kinase C appears to be different from those phosphorylated by other kinases. Prior phosphorylation of the synthase by protein kinase C has no significant effect on the subsequent phosphorylation by glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1 or kinase Fa, but prevents the synthase from further phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, or casein kinase-2. Additive phosphorylation of liver glycogen synthase can be observed by the combination of protein kinase C with the former set of kinases but not with the latter. Phosphorylation of liver synthase by protein kinase C alone did not cause an inactivation nor did the combination of this kinase with glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1 or kinase Fa produce a synergistic effect on the inactivation of the synthase. Based on these findings we conclude that the phorbol ester-induced inactivation of glycogen synthase previously observed in hepatocytes cannot be accounted for entirely by the activation of protein kinase C.

Rat liver glycogen synthase was purified to homogeneity by an improved procedure that yielded enzyme almost exclusively as a polypeptide of Mr 85,000. The phosphorylation of this enzyme by eight protein kinases was analyzed by cleavage of the enzyme subunit followed by mapping of the phosphopeptides using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of SDS, reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and thin-layer electrophoresis. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, protein kinase C and the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase all phosphorylated the same small peptide (approx. 20 amino acids) located in a 14 kDa CNBr-fragment (CB-1). Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C also modified second sites in CB-1. A larger CNBr-fragment (CB-2) of approx. 28 kDa was the dominant site of action for casein kinases I and II, FA/GSK-3 and the heparin-activated protein kinase. The sites modified were all localized in a 14 kDa species generated by trypsin digestion. Further proteolysis with V8 proteinase indicated that FA/GSK-3 and the heparin-activated enzyme recognized the same smaller peptide within CB-2, which may also be phosphorylated by casein kinase 1. Casein kinase 1 also modified a distinct peptide, as did casein kinase II. The results lead us to suggest homology to the muscle enzyme with regard to CB-1 phosphorylation and the region recognized by FA/GSK-3, which in rabbit muscle is characterized by a high density of proline and serine residues. A striking difference with the muscle isozyme is the apparent lack of phosphorylations corresponding to the muscle sites 1a and 1b. These results provide further evidence for the presence of liver- and muscle-specific glycogen synthase isozymes in the rat. That the isozymes differ subtly as to phosphorylation sites may provide a clue to the functional differences between the isozymes.

The phosphorylation sites in liver synthase were studied using gel filtration and high performance liquid chromatography of 32P-labeled tryptic peptides. Phosphorylase b kinase, calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase and glycogen synthase kinase 4 from liver phosphorylated the same low Mr tryptic peptide. cAMP-dependent protein kinase mainly phosphorylated the low Mr tryptic peptide, but also incorporated phosphate into two other peptides. Glycogen synthase kinase 5 phosphorylated a single tryptic peptide, whereas glycogen synthase kinase 3 phosphorylated several tryptic peptides. Calcium-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated two tryptic peptides, the major one of which had the same chromatographic properties as the low Mr peptide described above. These findings confirm that liver glycogen synthase undergoes multi-site phosphorylation and suggest that the topography of the sites is generally similar to that in muscle glycogen synthase.

Rat liver glycogen synthase bound to the glycogen particle was partially purified by repeated high-speed centrifugation. This synthase preparation was labeled with 32P by incubations with cAMP-dependent protein kinase and cAMP-independent synthase (casein) kinase-1 in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP. The phosphorylated synthase was separated from other proteins in the glycogen pellet by immunoprecipitation with rabbit anti-rat liver glycogen synthase serum. Analysis of the immunoprecipitates by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis showed that synthase subunits of Mr 85,000 and 80,000 were present in varying proportions. The 32P-labeled synthase in the immunoprecipitate was digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides were analyzed by isoelectric focusing. Synthase bound to the glycogen particle was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase at more sites and by cAMP-independent synthase (casein) kinase-1 at less sites than when the homogeneous synthase was incubated with these kinases. Phosphorylation of synthase in the glycogen pellet by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or cAMP-independent synthase (casein) kinase-1 did not cause a significant inactivation as has been observed when the synthase was incubated with these kinases. Inactivation of synthase in the glycogen pellet, however, can be achieved by the combination of both kinases. This inactivation appears to result from the phosphorylation of a new site by cAMP-independent synthase (casein) kinase-1 neighboring a site previously phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Phosphorylation of liver glycogen synthase by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) results in the incorporation of approximately 0.7 to 1.0 mol of PO4/subunit. Analyses of the tryptic peptides by isoelectric focusing and peptide mapping reveal the presence of a single 32P-labeled peptide. This extent of phosphorylation does not result in a significant reduction of the synthase activity ratio. Phosphorylation of the liver synthase by cAMP-independent synthase (casein) kinase-1 results in the incorporation of 1.6 to 2.2 mol of PO4/subunit. Although at least 4 tryptic peptides have been found to be labeled with 32P, no significant reduction of the synthase activity ratio was observed. Under the same assay conditions, the muscle synthase is effectively inactivated by either kinase alone or in combination. Inactivation of liver synthase can be achieved after phosphorylation by A-kinase and followed by synthase (casein) kinase-1. However, the inactivation becomes less effective if the order of the addition of these two kinases is reversed. Under the latter assay condition, the phosphate incorporation is less than additive in the presence of both kinases. Prior phosphorylation of the synthase by A-kinase transforms the synthase to become a better substrate for synthase (casein) kinase-1 as evidenced by a 3- to 5-fold increase in the rate of phosphorylation. This increased rate of phosphorylation of the synthase by synthase (casein) kinase-1 results from the rapid phosphorylation of a site neighboring to that previously phosphorylated by A-kinase.

A rapid method for purifying glycogen synthase a from rat liver was developed and the enzyme was tested as a substrate for nine different protein kinases, six of which were isolated from rat liver. The enzyme was phosphorylated on a 17-kDa CNBr fragment to approximately 1 phosphate/87-kDa subunit by phosphorylase b kinase from muscle or liver with a decrease in the activity ratio (-Glc-6-P/+Glc-6-P) from 0.95 to 0.6. Calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase from rabbit liver produced a similar phosphorylation pattern, but a smaller activity change. The catalytic subunit of beef heart cAMP-dependent protein kinase incorporated greater than 1 phosphate/subunit initially into a 17-kDa CNBr peptide and then into a 27-30-kDa CNBr peptide, with an activity ratio decrease to 0.5. Glycogen synthase kinases 3, 4, and 5 and casein kinase 1 were purified from rat liver. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 rapidly phosphorylated liver glycogen synthase to 1.5 phosphate/subunit with incorporation of phosphate into 3 CNBr peptides and a decrease in the activity ratio to 0.3. Glycogen synthase kinase 4 produced a pattern of phosphorylation and inactivation of liver synthase which was very similar to that caused by phosphorylase b kinase. Glycogen synthase kinase 5 incorporated 1 phosphate/subunit into a 24-kDa CNBr peptide, but did not alter the activity of the synthase. Casein kinase 1 phosphorylated and inactivated liver synthase with incorporation of phosphate into a 24-kDa CNBr peptide. This kinase and glycogen synthase kinase 4 were more active against muscle glycogen synthase. Calcium-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase from brain phosphorylated liver and muscle glycogen synthase on 17- and 27-kDa CNBr peptides, respectively. However, there was no change in the activity ratio of either enzyme. The following conclusions are drawn. 1) Liver glycogen synthase a is subject to multiple site phosphorylation. 2) Phosphorylation of some sites does not per se control activity of the enzyme under the assay conditions used. 3) Liver contains most, if not all, of the protein kinases active on glycogen synthase previously identified in skeletal muscle.

Purified rabbit liver glycogen synthase was found to be a substrate for six different protein kinases: (i) cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, (ii) two Ca2+-stimulated protein kinases, phosphorylase kinase (from muscle) and a calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase, and (iii) three members of a Ca2+ and cyclic nucleotide independent class, PC0.7, FA/GSK-3, and casein kinase-1. Greatest inactivation accompanied phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (to 0.5-0.7 phosphate/subunit, +/- glucose-6-P activity ratio reduced from approximately 1 to 0.6) or FA/GSK-3 (to approximately 1 phosphate/subunit, activity ratio, 0.46). Phosphorylation by the combination FA/GSK-3 plus PC0.7 was synergistic, and more extensive inactivation was achieved. The phosphorylation reactions just described caused significant reductions in the Vmax of the glycogen synthase with little effect on the S0.5 (substrate concentration corresponding to Vmax/2). Phosphorylase kinase achieved a lesser inactivation, to an activity ratio of 0.75 at 0.6 phosphate/subunit. PC0.7 acting alone, casein kinase-1, and the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase did not cause inactivation of liver glycogen synthase with the conditions used. Analysis of CNBr fragments of phosphorylated glycogen synthase indicated that the phosphate was distributed primarily between two polypeptides, with apparent Mr = 12,300 (CB-I) and 16,000-17,000 (CB-II). PC0.7 and casein kinase-1 displayed a decided specificity for CB-II, and the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase was specific for CB-I. The other protein kinases were able, to some extent, to introduce phosphate into both CB-I and CB-II. Studies using limited proteolysis indicated that CB-II was located at a terminal region of the subunit. CB-I contains a minimum of one phosphorylation site and CB-II at least three sites. Liver glycogen synthase is therefore potentially subject to the same type of multisite regulation as skeletal muscle glycogen synthase although the muscle and liver enzymes display significant differences in both structural and kinetic properties.

Ca2+-stimulated inactivation of liver glycogen synthase was observed when a partially purified liver phosphorylase kinase fraction containing glycogen synthase was incubated with ATP-Mg2+. The Ca2+-stimulated portion of this inactivation was partially counteracted by trifluoperazine and slightly stimulated by exogenously added calmodulin. These results suggest that Ca2+-calmodulin may be involved as one of the factors causing this glycogen synthase inactivation. Although the exact mechanism mediated by Ca2+ has not been clearly determined, the possibility of the participation of some Ca2+-dependent protein kinase is discussed.
