cAMP and cyclosporin A exert antiproliferative effects in many different cell types. In cultured pituitary cells, the antiproliferative effects of both agents correlate with the inhibition of a serine/threonine protein phosphatase activity. This inhibition is mediated by the heat-stable protein, inhibitor-1. The increase of cAMP levels, through the activation of the protein kinase A, induces inhibitor-1 phosphorylation and activation. On the other hand, cyclosporin A, inhibiting the calcium-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase calcineurin, prevents the dephosphorylation and inactivation of inhibitor-1. This dual regulation by cAMP and calcium on the inhibitor-1 activity parallel the effects of these agents on DNA synthesis and serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Because inhibitor-1 is the main regulator of protein phosphatase 1 activity, these results suggest that protein phosphatase 1 may be the common target of cAMP and cyclosporin A in regulating cell proliferation. We propose that protein-phosphatase 1 stimulates growth in these cells and that cAMP and cyclosporin A block this effect through their actions on inhibitor-1.

Protein phosphatase inhibitor-1 (PPI-1) has been shown to be present in heart tissue and smooth muscle. Whether PPI-1 is present in cardiomyocytes is not known. The purpose of this study was to determine whether PPI-1 is present and is hormonally regulated in cardiomyocytes. A trichloroacetic acid (TCA) extract enriched in PPI-1 was isolated from guinea pig ventricular cardiomyocytes. The TCA extract inhibited the activity of type 1 protein phosphatase by 20 +/- 4% (n = 3 expts). On phosphorylation by the catalytic subunit of adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase, the extent of this inhibition was augmented to 4.5-fold. Dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated TCA extract by type 2 protein phosphatase reduced inhibition to 2 +/- 0.2% (n = 3 expts). To determine whether isoproterenol increases phosphorylation of PPI-1 in cardiomyocytes, the TCA extracts were prepared from cardiomyocytes treated with 1 microM isoproterenol and from untreated cardiomyocytes. The inhibitory activity of the TCA extract in untreated cardiomyocytes was 25 +/- 3% (n = 3 expts) and increased to 75 +/- 2% (n = 3 expts) in isoproterenol-treated cardiomyocytes. With the use of a rabbit skeletal muscle PPI-1 antibody, immunoblots of the TCA extract of cardiomyocytes identified a 28-kDa protein. A 28-kDa protein was also immunoprecipitated from a TCA extract isolated from isoproterenol-treated 32P-labeled cardiomyocytes. The immunoprecipitation was blocked by the addition of excess amounts of purified rabbit skeletal muscle PPI-1. Isoproterenol-treated cardiomyocytes increased the phosphorylation of the 28-kDa protein by 232 +/- 20% (n = 3 expts) compared with untreated cardiomyocytes. We conclude that 1) the 28-kDa protein is PPI-1, 2) PPI-1 is present in ventricular cardiomyocytes, and 3) PPI-1 is hormonally regulated. A decrease in type 1 protein phosphatase activity through phosphorylation of PPI-1 may be an important pathway for augmenting cardiac contractility.

Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) and protein phosphatase 2B (calcineurin) are key enzymes in the regulation of synaptic strength, controlling the phosphorylation status of pre- and postsynaptic target proteins. Here, we show that the inactivation gating of the Shaker-related fast-inactivating KV channel, Kv1.4 is controlled by CaMKII and the calcineurin/inhibitor-1 protein phosphatase cascade. CaMKII phosphorylation of an amino-terminal residue of KV1.4 leads to slowing of inactivation gating and accelerated recovery from N-type inactivated states. In contrast, dephosphorylation of this residue induces a fast inactivating mode of KV1.4 with time constants of inactivation 5 to 10 times faster compared with the CaMKII-phosphorylated form. Dephosphorylated KV1.4 channels also display slowed and partial recovery from inactivation with increased trapping of KV1.4 channels in long-absorbing C-type inactivated states. In consequence, dephosphorylated KV1.4 displays a markedly increased tendency to undergo cumulative inactivation during repetitive stimulation. The balance between phosphorylated and dephosphorylated KV1.4 channels is regulated by changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration rendering KV1.4 inactivation gating Ca2+-sensitive. The reciprocal CaMKII and calcineurin regulation of cumulative inactivation of presynaptic KV1.4 may provide a novel mechanism to regulate the critical frequency for presynaptic spike broadening and induction of synaptic plasticity.

Among the cellular actions of vanadate ions are several that have the potential to be of significance in the regulation of protein phosphorylation. The effects of vanadate on adenosine 3',5' cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent and independent, alkali-resistant protein phosphorylation in a synaptosomal preparation from rat cortex were examined in this study. Three major vanadate-stimulated, cAMP-independent phosphoproteins (58-, 50-, and 39-kDa) and two cAMP-dependent species (37- and 32-kDa) were detectable. The potentiation between vanadate and cAMP in stimulating the phosphorylation of the latter two proteins is in contrast to the nonadditive combined effect of both on the phosphorylation of other synaptosomal proteins. The two cAMP-dependent, 32P-labeled proteins possess identical or very similar physicochemical properties to two previously cited neuronal phosphoproteins, namely, dopamine- and adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-regulated phosphoprotein-32 (DARPP-32) and inhibitor-1 (I-1). Such properties include phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the presence of an alkali-resistant phosphothreonine residue, comigration on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, dephosphorylation by type-2B protein phosphatase, and crossreactivity with specific antibodies. Costimulation by cAMP and vanadate of phosphorylation of the latter two proteins on threonine residues, at concentrations of vanadate consistent with the regulation of protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, indicates a unique interaction between these two regulators of protein phosphorylation at the nerve terminus.

Long-term potentiation (LTP) at the Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapse involves interacting signaling components, including calcium (Ca2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pathways. Postsynaptic injection of thiophosphorylated inhibitor-1 protein, a specific inhibitor of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1), substituted for cAMP pathway activation in LTP. Stimulation that induced LTP triggered cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of endogenous inhibitor-1 and a decrease in PP1 activity. This stimulation also increased phosphorylation of CaMKII at Thr286 and Ca2+-independent CaMKII activity in a cAMP-dependent manner. The blockade of LTP by a CaMKII inhibitor was not overcome by thiophosphorylated inhibitor-1. Thus, the cAMP pathway uses PP1 to gate CaMKII signaling in LTP.

G-substrate, an endogenous substrate for cGMP-dependent protein kinase, exists almost exclusively in cerebellar Purkinje cells, where it is possibly involved in the induction of long-term depression. A G-substrate cDNA was identified by screening expressed sequence tag databases from a human brain library. The deduced amino acid sequence of human G-substrate contained two putative phosphorylation sites (Thr-68 and Thr-119) with amino acid sequences [KPRRKDT(p)PALH] that were identical to those reported for rabbit G-substrate. G-substrate mRNA was expressed almost exclusively in the cerebellum as a single transcript. The human G-substrate gene was mapped to human chromosome 7p15 by radiation hybrid panel analysis. In vitro translation products of the cDNA showed an apparent molecular mass of 24 kDa on SDS/PAGE which was close to that of purified rabbit G-substrate (23 kDa). Bacterially expressed human G-substrate is a heat-stable and acid-soluble protein that cross-reacts with antibodies raised against rabbit G-substrate. Recombinant human G-substrate was phosphorylated efficiently by cGMP-dependent protein kinase exclusively at Thr residues, and it was recognized by antibodies specific for rabbit phospho-G-substrate. The amino acid sequences surrounding the sites of phosphorylation in G-substrate are related to those around Thr-34 and Thr-35 of the dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein DARPP-32 and inhibitor-1, respectively, two potent inhibitors of protein phosphatase 1. However, purified G-substrate phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase inhibited protein phosphatase 2A more effectively than protein phosphatase 1, suggesting a distinct role as a protein phosphatase inhibitor.

Two inositol phosphoglycans (IPG) isolated from beef liver and designated as putative insulin mediators were demonstrated to reciprocally enhance the dephosphorylation of inhibitor-1 (INH-1) and DARPP-32, thus directly activating phosphatase 2C and disinhibiting phosphatase 1 in a potential protein phosphatase 2C --> phosphatase 1 cascade mechanism. One IPG termed pH 2.0, containing Dchiro-inositol and galactosamine, stimulated the dephosphorylation of INH-1 and DARPP-32 in a dose-dependent manner in the low micromolar range. A second, termed pH 1.3, containing myo-inositol glucosamine and mannose acted reciprocally to inhibit the cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation of INH-1 and DARPP-32 in a dose-dependent manner in the low micromolar range. These model experiments are discussed in terms of the observed dephosphorylation of INH-1 with insulin action documented in the literature and the activation of both phosphatase 1 and 2C described in intact cells and in vivo with insulin action.

NIPP-1 is a subunit of the major nuclear protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) in mammalian cells and potently inhibits PP-1 activity in vitro. Using yeast two-hybrid and co-sedimentation assays, we mapped a PP-1-binding site and the inhibition function to the central one-third domain of NIPP-1. Full-length NIPP-1 (351 residues) and the central domain, NIPP-1(143-217), were equally potent PP-1 inhibitors (IC50 = 0.3 nM). Synthetic peptides spanning the central domain of NIPP-1 further narrowed the PP-1 inhibitory function to residues 191-200. A second, noninhibitory PP-1-binding site was identified by far-Western assays with digoxygenin-conjugated catalytic subunit (PP-1C) and included a consensus RVXF motif (residues 200-203) found in many other PP-1-binding proteins. The substitutions, V201A and/or F203A, in the RVXF motif, or phosphorylation of Ser199 or Ser204, which are established phosphorylation sites for protein kinase A and protein kinase CK2, respectively, prevented PP-1C-binding by NIPP-1(191-210) in the far-Western assay. NIPP-1(191-210) competed for PP-1 inhibition by full-length NIPP-1(1-351), inhibitor-1 and inhibitor-2, and dissociated PP-1C from inhibitor-1- and NIPP-1(143-217)-Sepharose but not from full-length NIPP-1(1-351)-Sepharose. Together, these data identified some of the key elements in the central domain of NIPP-1 that regulate PP-1 activity and suggested that the flanking sequences stabilize the association of NIPP-1 with PP-1C.

Long-term potentiation (LTP) can be induced in the Schaffer collateral-->CA1 synapse of hippocampus by stimulation in the theta frequency range (5-12 Hz), an effect that depends on activation of the cAMP pathway. We investigated the mechanisms of the cAMP contribution to this form of LTP in the rat hippocampal slice preparation. theta pulse stimulation (TPS; 150 stimuli at 10 Hz) by itself did not induce LTP, but the addition of either the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol or the cAMP analog 8-bromo-cAMP (8-Br-cAMP) enabled TPS-induced LTP. The isoproterenol effect was blocked by postsynaptic inhibition of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Several lines of evidence indicated that cAMP enabled LTP by blocking postsynaptic protein phosphatase-1 (PP1). Activators of the cAMP pathway reduced PP1 activity in the CA1 region and increased the active form of inhibitor-1, an endogenous inhibitor of PP1. Postsynaptic injection of activated inhibitor-1 mimicked the LTP-enabling effect of cAMP pathway stimulation. TPS evoked complex spiking when isoproterenol was present. However, complex spiking was not sufficient to enable TPS-induced LTP, which additionally required the inhibition of postsynaptic PP1. PP1 inhibition seems to promote the activation of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII), because (1) a CaMKII inhibitor blocked the induction of LTP by TPS paired with either isoproterenol or activated inhibitor-1 and (2) CaMKII in area CA1 was activated by the combination of TPS and 8-Br-cAMP but not by either stimulus alone. These results indicate that the cAMP pathway enables TPS-induced LTP by inhibiting PP1, thereby enhancing Ca(2+)-independent CaMKII activity.

Inhibitor-1 and DARPP-32 (dopamine and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, Mr 32 kDa) are each phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, resulting in their conversion to potent inhibitors of protein phosphatase-1. Protein phosphatase-1 is involved in the regulation of Na(+) reabsorption from renal tubule by modulating the activity of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. In this study, we have investigated the regulation of inhibitor-1 and DARPP-32 phosphorylation in slices of renal medulla. Activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase by forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP increased the level of phosphorylated inhibitor-1. Okadaic acid (1 microM), used to inhibit protein phosphatase-2A, increased the level of phosphorylated inhibitor-1, but cyclosporin A had no effect. DARPP-32, like inhibitor-1, was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and dephosphorylated only by protein phosphatase-2A. These data demonstrate that the phosphorylation of inhibitor-1 and DARPP-32 is regulated by the balance of phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and dephosphorylation by protein phosphatase-2A in renal medulla. Furthermore, the phosphorylation step is regulated by pharmacological stimuli such as activation of beta(1)-adrenoceptors and dopamine D1 receptors.
