Stimulation of secretion in exocrine cells by agonists involving cAMP as second messenger is associated with the phosphorylation of a specific membrane-associated 22.4-kDa protein (protein III) (Jahn et al.). Here it is shown by subcellular fractionation of rat parotid gland lobules that protein III is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. The submicrosomal fractions containing protein III, also contain the ATP-dependent microsomal calcium pump activity. Protein III in microsomal subfractions can be phosphorylated in vitro with catalytic subunit from cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylated protein III contains exclusively P-serine. Protein III can be removed from ER-membranes with acid chloroform-methanol or Triton X-114, but not by high salt wash indicating that it is tightly associated with the membranes. Protein III is smaller than phospholamban and, in contrast to phospholamban, resistant to heating in SDS. A relationship between phosphorylation of protein III and microsomal calcium sequestration is discussed.

Neural influences are exerted not only by propagation of nerve impulses, but also by trophic actions of the motor neuron upon its contiguous muscle cell. Previously, we found that the in vitro phosphorylation of soluble protein catalyzed by an endogenous protein kinase is increased in cytosolic fractions from denervated soleus muscles. This alteration occurred within several hours after the loss of some neural influence, but not as an immediate consequence of denervation (Squinto, S. P., J. A. McLane, and I. R. Held (1980) Neurosci. Lett. 20: 295-300; Squinto, S. P., J. A. McLane, and I. R. Held (1981) Neurochem. Res. 6: 203-211). In this paper, we further define the cytosolic protein substrates and demonstrate a nerve stump length-dependent phosphorylative modulation of the predominate substrate in rat soleus muscles which were denervated for 1, 3, and 6 hr and then at 6-hr intervals to 78 hr by unilaterally cutting the sciatic nerve to leave either a short (2 mm or less), intermediate (17 to 20 mm), or long (32 to 35 mm) distal nerve stump attached to the muscle. The results are compared with those obtained from sham-operated, contralateral solei and unoperated muscles. We found that the times of onset and of maximal increase of the in vitro phosphorylation of soluble cytosolic protein in denervated solei are directly related to the lengths of the distal nerve stumps; i.e., 1.4 hr/mm and 1.3 hr/mm, respectively, based upon linear regression analysis. Also, this alteration could be accounted for by an increased phosphorylation of a 56-kilodalton soluble cytosolic protein which was resolved as a minor protein-staining band after SDS slab PAGE. Although gel autoradiographs clearly showed that other soluble cytosolic proteins were also phosphorylated, approximately 80% of the incorporated 32P label was bound to the 56-kilodalton substrate. The transfer of 32PO4 from [gamma-32P]ATP to the 56-kilodalton protein during the assay was markedly inhibited by cAMP, but was not affected by Ca2+, cGMP, or a specific inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The possibility that the 56-kilodalton protein substrate is the autophosphorylatable regulatory subunit of protein kinase type II is discussed. The temporal relationship of the increased phosphorylation of the 56-kilodalton protein with the denervation period and nerve stump length suggests this change is mediated by some neurotrophic regulation of skeletal muscle.

Chicken oviduct progesterone receptor has been purified to homogeneity. The protein consists of two dissimilar hormone-binding subunits, A and B, present in equal amounts in the complex. They have molecular weights of 79,000 and 108,000, respectively, as shown by both SDS-gel electrophoresis of the purified proteins and photoaffinity labeling of both with a labeled synthetic progestin. The two subunits show considerable homology (or identity) of structure at the hormone-binding domain, located at the N-terminus of the proteins. Considerable divergence of sequence must exist elsewhere in A and B, as shown by tryptic peptide mapping and by the fact that subunit A has a strong DNA-binding site lacking in B. Both are phosphorylated in vitro by cAMP-dependent protein kinase; this phosphorylation appears to be responsible for creation of a second, weaker progesterone-binding site on each subunit.

(1) Pyruvate kinase type M2 from rat lung has been purified 840-fold with an overall yield of 20%. The enzyme gave a single band upon SDS-electrophoresis and isoelectrofocusing and had a specific activity of 1340 U/mg protein. The homotetramer of Mr = 224000 and an isoelectric point of pH 5.8 had an amino acid composition closely resembling that of other pyruvate kinase isoenzymes type M2, except that of the chicken liver. The enzyme was crystallized. (2) The enzyme has its pH optimum at pH 6.5. The K0.5 value for phosphoenolpyruvate is 0.26 mM (nH = 1.81) which decreases in the presence of 0.2 mM fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to 0.056 mM (nH = 1.06). 1 microM fructose 1,6-bisphosphate activates the enzyme at 0.1 mM phosphoenolpyruvate half-maximally. The Km value for ADP at 1 mM phosphoenolpyruvate is 0.4 mM. The Km value for other nucleoside diphosphates increases in the order ADP less than GDP less than IDP less than UDP. (3) No evidence for an interconversion of pyruvate kinase type M2 from rat or chicken lung was found. The enzyme was neither a substrate for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase from rabbit muscle nor for the cAMP-independent protein kinase from chicken liver. Since pyruvate kinase type M2 from chicken liver is inactivated by phosphorylation catalyzed by a cAMP-independent protein kinase (Eigenbrodt, E., Abdel-Fattah Mostafa, M. and Schoner, W. (1977) Hoppe-Seyler's Z. Physiol. Chem. 358, 1047-1055) we suggest that the interconvertible form of pyruvate kinase type M2 may represent a separate form of the pyruvate kinase type M2 family.

Rap 1b is a 22-kDa low molecular mass GTP-binding protein which is both a member of the Ras superfamily and a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Recently, evidence has been presented to show that Rap 1b is incorporated into the detergent-extracted cytoskeleton of platelets during thrombin-induced activation. The aims of this study were to compare the incorporation of Rap 1b into the detergent-extracted cytoskeleton after activation with different agonists, to examine the role of extracellular calcium on the incorporation of Rap 1b into the cytoskeleton, to investigate the relationship between the association of Rap 1b and other proteins with the cytoskeleton, and to determine the effect of phosphorylation of Rap 1b incorporation into the cytoskeleton. Platelets were activated with thrombin, A23187, phorbol myristate acetate, ADP, epinephrine, and collagen in the presence and absence of calcium. The time dependence of Rap 1b incorporation into the detergent-extracted cytoskeleton was then measured. When platelets were activated by thrombin in the presence of extracellular calcium, conditions which permit aggregation, incorporation of Rap 1b into the detergent-extracted cytoskeleton was biphasic. Approximately 20% of the total cellular Rap 1b incorporated into the cytoskeleton within seconds and was followed by a slower second phase of incorporation. In contrast, when platelets were activated by thrombin in the absence of calcium, conditions which inhibit aggregation, or by the other agents in the presence or absence of calcium, only the initial phase of Rap 1b incorporation into the cytoskeleton was measured. The incorporation of Rap 1b paralleled the incorporation of membrane glycoproteins (GP) IIb/IIIa and PECAM-1, but not the incorporation of pp60c-src. The GTPase-activating protein for Ras (Ras-GAP) did not associate with the detergent-extracted cytoskeleton. Two-dimensional isoelectric focusing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the total cellular and cytoskeletal Rap 1b showed that unphosphorylated as well as phosphorylated isoforms of Rap 1b were incorporated into the cytoskeleton in the same molar ratio as was present in the intact cell. Furthermore, the rates of incorporation of phosphorylated and unphosphorylated Rap 1b into the cytoskeleton were similar. These experiments show that Rap 1b can regulate events that take place within seconds after activation, such as the initial formation of the cytoskeleton, as well as longer term changes in the cytoskeleton that occur in response to thrombin-induced aggregation. Furthermore, phosphorylation could modulate the (unknown) functions of Rap 1b as a component of the cytoskeleton.

Three cAMP-binding proteins have been identified by photoaffinity labeling with 8-azido[32P]cAMP and purified from the mantle tissue of the sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. Their molecular masses, determined by SDS/PAGE, were 54, 42 and 37 kDa. The purified 54-kDa protein, which had two cAMP-binding sites/monomer, was judged to be a regulatory (R) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase since it re-associated with and inhibited purified catalytic (C) subunit of this enzyme from mussel, in the absence but not in the presence of cAMP. The molecular mass of the complex between Mytilus cAMP-binding protein and C subunit, estimated by analytical gel-filtration, was 220 kDa, a value which agrees with a R2C2 stoichiometry for the mussel cAMP-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme. On the basis of the elution pattern from DEAE-cellulose chromatography and its ability to be phosphorylated by purified C subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the 54-kDa protein could be classified as a type II regulatory subunit. Furthermore, no mobility shift on SDS/PAGE upon phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of Mytilus protein was observed, a similar behaviour to that shown by the mammalian RII beta isoform. The 42-kDa and 37-kDa proteins, which were recognized by a specific antiserum against the 54-kDa protein and fail to be phosphorylated by Mytilus C subunit, are probably products generated by proteolysis of the 54-kDa protein, although they were shown even when inhibitors of the major types of proteases were used.

The regulation of cardiac muscle glycogen metabolism is not well understood. Previous studies have indicated that heart glycogen synthase is heavily phosphorylated in vivo on multiple sites. Using purified enzymes, we have investigated the effect of phosphorylation of different sites on the activity of rat heart glycogen synthase. A convenient procedure was developed for the purification of rat heart glycogen synthase. The enzyme was phosphorylated by selected kinases, and glycogen synthase activity, extent of phosphorylation, and phosphopeptide maps were analyzed. Rat heart glycogen synthase, purified to apparent homogeneity (M(r) 87,000 on SDS-PAGE), had a specific activity of 18 U/mg protein and had an activity ratio of 0.74 (activity in the absence divided by the activity in the presence of glucose 6-P). cAMP-dependent protein kinase, glycogen synthase kinase 3, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, protein kinase C, and phosphorylase kinase phosphorylated the enzyme with a concomitant decrease in the activity ratio to values ranging from 0.1 to 0.4. Casein kinase II phosphorylated but did not inactivate glycogen synthase. Six tryptic phosphopeptides, obtained from heart glycogen synthase phosphorylated by the various kinases, were separated by reverse-phase chromatography. The phosphopeptide(s) obtained with each kinase eluted at the same position(s) as corresponding phosphopeptides obtained from rat skeletal muscle glycogen synthase. The study shows that the pattern of phosphorylation and effects on activity are very similar for cardiac and skeletal muscle glycogen synthase. It is suggested that the well known differences in heart and glycogen metabolism may be due to the interplay of kinases and phosphatases which could lead to different phosphorylation and activity states of glycogen synthase.

DARPP-32 (dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, M(r) = 32,000) is a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatase-1 when it is phosphorylated on Thr-34 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. DARPP-32 is highly enriched in some specific cell populations such as striatonigral neurons and choroid plexus epithelial cells. Here we show that recombinant rat DARPP-32 is phosphorylated by casein kinase I on seryl residues to a stoichiometry of approximately 2 mol of phosphate/mol of protein. DARPP-32 is one of the best known substrates for casein kinase I (Km = 3.4 +/- 0.3 microM), whereas the homologous phosphatase-1 inhibitor, inhibitor-1, is not. Phosphorylation of DARPP-32 by casein kinase I does not alter its ability to inhibit protein phosphatase-1. Residues phosphorylated by casein kinase I were identified as Ser-137 and Ser-189 by site-directed mutagenesis and by protein sequencing. Ser-137 and the preceding stretch of 16-18 acidic residues are conserved in DARPP-32 among all species examined, whereas Ser-189 is not. Phosphorylation of Ser-137 induces an unusual increase in DARPP-32 electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gels in the presence of SDS. In striatonigral neurons, DARPP-32 is phosphorylated on Ser-137 and the stoichiometry of phosphorylation on this residue in vivo appears to be higher in the substantia nigra (axon terminals) than in the striatum (soma and dendrites). These results indicate that casein kinase I is highly active in striatonigral neurons in which it may play important roles, including in protein phosphatase-1 modulation via phosphorylation of DARPP-32.

A triacylglycerol lipase, presumably the first enzyme involved in the mobilization of lipid from the insect fat body, has been purified to homogeneity from the fat body of Manduca sexta. The purification procedure involved polyethyleneglycol precipitation, and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phenyl-Sepharose, Q-Sepharose and hydroxylapatite. The final product, a protein with an M(r) = 76,000 by SDS-PAGE, was purified nearly 8000-fold from the original homogenate in a yield of about 11%. The enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of tri-, di-, and mono-oleoylglycerols, but showed highest affinity for tri- or dioleoylglycerol. Thus, under initial reaction conditions, the end products of trioleoylglycerol hydrolysis were: free fatty acids (66%), sn-2-monooleoylglycerol (24%), sn-1,2(2,3)-dioleoylglycerol (7%), and glycerol (3%). The fat body lipase exhibited a preference for hydrolyzing the primary ester bonds of acylglycerols, and did not show stereoselectivity toward either the sn-1 or sn-3 position of trioleoylglycerol. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 7.9, and was inhibited by diisopropylfluorophosphate, ATP, ADP, Mg2+, and NaF. The enzyme showed a strong tendency to aggregate, but was stable in detergent solutions at high concentration of glycerol. The polypeptide was phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine heart; however, phosphorylation did not cause activation of the enzyme. It is suggested that this fat body lipase could be analogous to the "hormone-sensitive lipase" of vertebrate adipose tissue.

Protein kinases and their endogenous substrates from the crude cytosolic extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were coeluted in the fraction 13 on DE-52 column chromatography. Analyses of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography revealed that the peptides between 14 and 34 kDa were the major phosphorylated substrates. In the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+, the phosphorylation was suppressed strongly by the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and slightly by oleic acid, whereas it was augmented appreciably by phosphatidylglycerol (dioleoyl) and phosphatidylinositol.
