The existence of an endogenous protein kinase activity and protein phosphatase activity in myelin membrane from mammalian brain has now been well established. We found that under all conditions tested the myelin basic protein is almost the only substrate of the endogenous protein kinase in myelin of bovine brain. The protein kinase activity is stimulated by Ca2+ in the micromolar range. Optimal activity is reached at a free Ca2+ concentration of about 2 microM. Myelin membrane vesicles were prepared and then shown to be sealed by a light-scattering technique. After preloading with 45Ca2+, 86Rb+, or 22Na+, the self-diffusion (passive outflux) of these ions from myelin membrane vesicles was measured. Ionophores induced a rapid, concentration-dependent outflux of 80--90% of the cations, indicating that only a small fraction of the trapped ions was membrane bound. There was no difference in the diffusion rates of the three cations whether phosphorylated (about 1 mol phosphate per myelin basic protein) or non-phosphorylated vesicles were tested. In contrast, a small but significant decrease in permeability for Rb+ and Na+ was measured, when the vesicles were pretreated with ATP and Mg2+.

The purified Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase from rat brain, which has a M.W. of 120,000 by gel filtration analysis, showed a broad substrate specificity. In addition to myosin light chain from chicken gizzard, the enzyme phosphorylated myelin basic protein, casein and two endogenous substrates in a Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent manner. In contrast, chicken gizzard myosin light chain kinase exclusively phosphorylated myosin light chain.

Bovine myelin basic protein (BP) induced a shape change and endogenous phosphorylation of a 45,000 (45K) molecular weight protein of intact human platelets. This effect occurred rapidly over an effective concentration range of 5-100 microM BP. BP peptides encompassing residues 1-42, 43-88, and 89-169 from the BP molecule of 169 residues, neither induced phosphorylation of platelets nor blocked the effect of intact BP. Subfractionation of disrupted platelets demonstrated the phosphorylated 45K protein in the 100,000 xg supernate. When isolated platelet membranes were used, no BP induced phosphorylation of a 45K protein could be detected. The amino acid composition of the purified, phosphorylated 45K protein differed from those of other known platelet proteins. BP itself was also phosphorylated by an endogenous platelet protein kinase(s) present both in the 100,000 xg supernatant and in the isolated membrane fraction of platelets. These results indicate that the normal or pathological release of BP from myelin may lead to phosphorylation of an internal protein of platelets and possibly other tissue elements with resultant metabolic and functional changes.

Phosphorylation of myelin basic protein (MBP) in rat or rabbit brain myelin was markedly stimulated by Ca2+, and this reaction was not essentially augmented by exogenous phosphatidylserine or calmodulin or both. Solubilization of myelin with 0.4% Triton X-100 plus 4 mM EGTA, with or without further fractionation, showed that Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of MBP required phosphatidylserine, but not calmodulin. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of solubilized myelin revealed a pronounced peak of protein kinase activity stimulated by a combination of Ca2+ and phosphatidylserine; a protein kinase stimulated by Ca2+ plus calmodulin was not detected. These findings clearly indicate an involvement of phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase in phosphorylation of brain MBP, although a possible role for the calmodulin-sensitive species of Ca2+-dependent protein kinase in this reaction could not be excluded or established. Phosphorylation of MBP in solubilized rat myelin catalyzed by the phospholipid-sensitive enzyme was inhibited by adriamycin, palmitoylcarnitine, trifluoperazine, melittin, polymyxin B, and N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7).

Myelin basic protein of rabbit brain (Mr = 18,200) was initially freed of the bulk of the nonphosphorylated species (mainly component 1) by Cm-cellulose chromatography at high pH. The remainder of the protein was subjected to peptic digestion at pH 6.00, which resulted in specific, essentially complete cleavage at several bonds (Phe-44--Phe-45, Phe-87--Phe-88, Leu-109--Ser-110, and Leu-151--Phe-152) and partial cleavage at the Tyr-14--Leu-15 bond. Gel filtration of the digest through Sephadex G-25 (fine) yielded three fractions, the first containing primarily peptides 1-44 and 45-87, the second peptides 15-44, 88-109, and 110-151, and the third peptides 1-14 and 152-168. Each fraction was chromatographed on Cm-cellulose at pH 8.2, and the resulting subfractions and partially purified peptides were analyzed for phosphoserine and phosphothreonine. Materials containing significant amounts of the phosphoamino acids were subsequently chromatographed on Cm-cellulose at pH 4.65, and the analyses for phosphoserine and phosphothreonine were repeated. The resulting purified peptic phosphopeptides were identified by amino acid analysis and tryptic peptide mapping. Comparison of the maps with those of the unphosphorylated counterparts located the tryptic phosphopeptides. These were recovered and their identities were established by amino acid analysis. In those cases where the phosphopeptide contained 2 Ser residues, the position of the phosphoserine was established by aminopeptidase M digestion. Five phosphorylation sites were found: Ser-7, Ser-56, Thr-96, Ser-113, and Ser-163. Only a small fraction of these sites was phosphorylated in the total basic protein, with values ranging from about 2 (ser-113) to 6% (Thr-96). With the possible exception of Ser-56, these sites are not the ones that have been reported to be phosphorylated in vitro by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+ -dependent protein kinase (PL-Ca-PK) and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-PK) both preferentially phosphorylated serine residues of bovine myelin basic protein (MBP). Tryptic peptide maps of MBP phosphorylated by PL-Ca-PK or A-PK, however, revealed different phosphopeptides, suggesting a difference in the intramolecular substrate specificity for the two enzymes. Serine-115 of MBP, in the sequence (-Arg-Phe-Ser(115)-Trp-), was found to be a preferred and probably major phosphorylation site for PL-Ca-PK. Because serine-115 of bovine MBP corresponds to serine-113 of rabbit MBP, an in vivo phosphorylation site reported by Martenson et al. (1983), and PL-Ca-PK is present at a very high level in brain and myelin, it is suggested that the enzyme may be responsible for the in vivo phosphorylation of this and other sites in MBP.

A phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase was purified to homogeneity, for the first time, from extracts of pig spleen, employing the steps of DEAE-cellulose, octyl-agarose, Sephacryl S-200 and phosphatidylserine-Affigel 10 affinity chromatographies. The purified enzyme appeared as a single protein band on both analytical (non-denaturing) and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, having a minimum mol.wt. of 68 000 +/- 200. The molecular weight of the enzyme was also determined to be 74 500 +/- 4600 by gel filtration and 80 000 based on its sedimentation coefficient (5.52 S) and Stokes radius (3.52 +/- 0.09 nm), indicating that the enzyme was a monomeric protein. The frictional ratio (f/f0) of the enzyme was 1.24, indicating it was non-globular in shape. The enzyme had a pI of 5.3, and a pH optimum of 6.5 for its reaction. Amino acid analysis indicated that the enzyme apparently was not similar to myosin light-chain kinase (a calmodulin-sensitive species of Ca2+-dependent protein kinase) or cyclic AMP-dependent and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases. The enzyme had an apparent Km for ATP of 7.5 microns. Histone H1 and myelin basic protein were effective substrates for the enzyme, with apparent Km values of 0.3 and 0.2 microns, and Vmax, values of 0.06 and 0.09 mumol/min per mg of enzyme respectively. The enzyme activity was dependent on both phosphatidylserine (apparent Ka = 6.25 micrograms/ml) and Ca2+ (apparent Ka = 160 microns). Calmodulin was unable to substitute for the phospholipid as a cofactor, nor was it a subunit of the enzyme. Sr2+ and Ba2+ could partially mimic Ca2+ to activate the enzyme in the presence of phosphatidylserine. An endogenous substrate protein (mol.wt. 41 000) for the enzyme was found in the total, solubilized fraction of pig spleen. Monoclonal antibodies against the enzyme interacted similarly with the homogeneous and impure enzyme; the antibodies, however, did not bind to cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases.

Extraneurally released gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) interacts with specific recognition sites associated with proteins located in postsynaptic neuronal membranes that function as chloride (Cl-)ionophores. As a result of the interaction between GABA and the recognition sites, Cl- ionophores are opened causing an influx or an efflux of Cl-, depending on the values of the Cl- equilibrium potential and of the membrane potential. Hyperpolarization or depolarization will result from inward or outward Cl- fluxes, respectively. Independently of the change in conductivity elicited by GABA, this amino acid transmitter will reduce the effectiveness of the sodium ion (Na+) excitatory potential. In attempts to elucidate the molecular mechanism, whereby benzodiazepines facilitate the action of GABA on membrane conductance without changing the activity of Cl- or other ionophore, a basic protein (GABA-modulin, GM) has been isolated from rat brain which is similar in structure to the small molecular weight myelin basic protein, found in rodent brain. While GABA-modulin is located in synaptosomes, the small molecular weight myelin basic protein is located in the myelin fraction: more important, GABA-modulin inhibited the high affinity binding of GABA to crude synaptic membranes while the basic myelin protein did not. Also, amino acid composition and molecular weight differentiate the two proteins. The GABA-modulin can be phosphorylated with different stoichiometry by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (4 mol PO4(-3)) or Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (1 mol PO4(-3)). Only cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation inhibited the action of GABA-modulin on GABA binding.

Ontogenetic changes in the protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation systems in rat brain were investigated. It was found that the activity level of phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (PL-Ca-PK) in the particulate fraction of grey and white matter and the soluble fraction of grey matter increased rapidly and markedly after birth, reached the highest level at day 30, and declined slightly or remained unchanged thereafter. The enzyme level in the soluble fraction of white matter, in contrast, remained constant throughout the development and maturation of brain. Various ontogenetic changes in the substrate proteins for PL-Ca-PK were also noted. The levels of myelin basic protein and other substrates (notably the Mr 87,000, 58,000, 54,000, and 50,000 protein in grey matter) progressively increased during development, reaching the highest level at adulthood. The level of the Mr 66,000 protein from the particulate fraction of white and grey matter, on the other hand, increased rapidly after birth, reached a peak at day 18, and then declined to the initial neonatal level at the adult stage. The time scale for the increases in the levels of PL-Ca-PK and its many substrates paralleled that of brain development and maturation (synaptogenesis and myelinogenesis). The activity levels of phosphoprotein phosphatases (assayed using 32P-labeled myelin basic protein, histone, and protamine sulfate) were found to only slightly (up to 60%) increase or decrease in certain fractions from different brain regions during development, suggesting that phosphorylation, compared to dephosphorylation, may be more important in determining the phosphorylation state of cellular proteins.

Calmodulin (CaM) binding by turkey gizzard myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) causes subtle changes in the fluorescence emission and polarization excitation spectra of the enzyme. Fluorescence experiments using 9-anthroyl-choline (9AC), which competes with ATP in binding, demonstrate mutually stabilizing interactions between the CaM and ATP binding sites corresponding to delta G = -0.6 to -0.7 kcal/mol. Fluorescence titrations in the presence of 9AC or 5,5'-bis[8-(phenylamino)-1-naphthalenesulfonate] confirm the stoichiometry of 1 mol of CaM/MLCK. Phosphorylation of MLCK has no effect on either the protein fluorescence or the binding of ATP and 9AC. The dissociation constant for the MLCL-CaM complex is increased approximately 500-fold on phosphorylation. Values of Kd for the phosphorylated enzyme range from 0.5 to 1.1 microM in 0.2 N KCl, pH 7.3, 25 degrees C. We showed competition between MLCK and other CaM binding proteins and peptides by using both fluorescence and catalytic activity measurements. Competition for CaM occurs with ACTH, beta-endorphin, substance P, glucagon, poly(L-arginine), myelin basic protein, troponin I, and histone H2A. Phosphorylation of the last three proteins by the adenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate dependent protein kinase diminishes their ability to compete. Phosphorylation of MLCK by the protein kinase gives 0.95 +/- 0.04 and 2.2 +/- 0.4 mol of incorporated 32P in the presence and absence of CaM, respectively. These stoichiometries agree with those recently reported [Conti, M. A. & Adelstein, R. S. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 3178].
