Phospholamban (molecular weight = 22,000), which serves as a regulator of Ca transport ATPase (molecular weight = 100,000) of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), becomes resistant to tryptic digestion upon phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PK). The protective effect of phosphorylation is accompanied by persistence of the PK-induced stimulation of Ca transport. These findings indicate that structural alteration of phospholamban upon phosphorylation is closely associated with changes in the functional properties of cardiac SR. SR from fast-contracting skeletal muscle of rabbit does not contain a 22,000-dalton substrate for cAMP-dependent PK, nor is Ca transport stimulated by exogenous PK. SR preparation isolated from slow-contracting skeletal muscle of rabbit and dog contains phospholamban, and Ca transport was found to be increased by exogenous cAMP-dependent PK. In view of the distribution of phospholamban among different types of muscle, a hypothesis is presented to explain the relaxation-promoting effects of catecholamines in cardiac and slow-contracting skeletal muscle in which phospholamban is found. This may also account for the absence of a similar effect of catecholamines in fast-contracting skeletal muscle, which does not contain a similar substrate for PK.

The heat-stable protein (protein kinase modulator), partially purified from fresh bovine heart, possessed the ability to inhibit and stimulate adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase and guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase activities, respectively. The inhibitory activity of protein kinase modulator on cAMP-dependent protein kinase was abolished almost completely by trypsin treatment, while the ability to stimulate cGMP-dependent protein kinase activity was resistant to trypsin. Fractionation by a linear potassium phosphate gradient on DEAE-cellulose column did not clearly separate both activities. Phosphorylation of cardiac microsomal component, "phospholamban" (molecular weight = 22,000), was inhibited almost completely by the saturating amounts of protein kinase modulator. This inhibition of phospholamban phosphorylation by protein kinase modulator was accompanied by a decreased Ca uptake rate that had been stimulated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These findings indicate that protein kinase modulator is functional in controlling the cAMP-dependent protein kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of phospholamban and the rate of calcium transport, lending further support for the previously proposed mechanism, in which phospholamban is assumed to serve as a regulator of calcium transport in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Ca2+ pumps are essential for removing cytosolic Ca2+ either across the plasma membrane (PM) or into internal organelles such as the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Four genes (PMCA1, PMCA2, PMCA3 and PMCA4) have been reported to encode the PM Ca2+ pumps and three (SERCA1, SERCA2 and SERCA3) to encode the SR Ca2+ pumps. The PM Ca2+ pumps are stimulated by calmodulin, the SR Ca2+ pumps encoded by SERCA1 and SERCA2 are stimulated by phospholamban while the product of SERCA3 may be regulated directly by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Alternative splicing of the primary transcripts of several of these genes has been reported to occur in a tissue selective manner and for others to alter during ontogeny. For the PM Ca2+ pump, alternative RNA splicing may result in isoforms with altered cyclic nucleotide dependent protein kinase sensitivity. The diversity in distribution of Ca2+ pump isoforms and their regulatory factors when coupled with different Ca2+ entry mechanisms allows for tissue selectivity and plasticity in stimulus-response coupling. The roles of various Ca2+ pump isoforms, the rationale behind their tissue selective expression and the plasticity in this expression are among the new challenges to researchers in this field.

The correlation between phospholamban and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-transporting ATPase levels and the magnitude of phospholamban-mediated stimulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ transport was examined in microsomes prepared from rabbit and canine cardiac, slow twitch and fast twitch skeletal muscle. Phospholamban was absent from microsomes prepared from fast twitch skeletal muscle but present at comparable levels in microsomes prepared from cardiac and slow twitch skeletal muscle. Levels of Ca(2+)-transporting ATPase were higher in microsomes prepared from slow twitch skeletal muscle than in microsomes prepared from cardiac muscle, however, and ratios of phospholamban to Ca(2+)-transporting ATPase were several fold greater in microsomes prepared from cardiac muscle than in microsomes prepared from slow twitch skeletal muscle. Stimulation of ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport following phosphorylation of phospholamban by cAMP-dependent protein kinase or incubation with anti-phospholamban monoclonal antibody was observed only in cardiac muscle microsomes. These observations indicate that phospholamban, while present in both cardiac and slow twitch skeletal muscle, may be involved in the hormonal regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ transport only in the former, and that the lack of phospholamban-mediated stimulation of Ca2+ transport in slow twitch skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum may result from the lower ratio of phospholamban to Ca(2+)-transporting ATPase in this tissue.

The Ca(2+)-ATPase of skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum was purified and reconstituted in proteoliposomes containing phosphatidylcholine (PC). When reconstitution occurred in the presence of PC and the acidic phospholipids, phosphatidylserine (PS) or phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP), the Ca(2+)-uptake and Ca(2+)-ATPase activities were significantly increased (2-3 fold). The highest activation was obtained at a 50:50 molar ratio of PS:PC and at a 10:90 molar ratio of PIP:PC. The skeletal SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, reconstituted into either PC or PC:PS proteoliposomes, was also found to be regulated by exogenous phospholamban (PLB), which is a regulatory protein specific for cardiac, slow-twitch skeletal, and smooth muscles. Inclusion of PLB into the proteoliposomes was associated with significant inhibition of the initial rates of Ca(2+)-uptake, while phosphorylation of PLB by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase reversed the inhibitory effects. The effects of PLB on the reconstituted Ca(2+)-ATPase were similar in either PC or PC:PS proteoliposomes, indicating that inclusion of negatively charged phospholipid may not affect the interaction of PLB with the skeletal SR Ca(2+)-ATPase. Regulation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase appeared to involve binding with the hydrophilic portion of phospholamban, as evidenced by crosslinking experiments, using a synthetic peptide which corresponded to amino acids 1-25 of phospholamban. These findings suggest that the fast-twitch isoform of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase may be also regulated by phospholamban although this regulator is not expressed in fast-twitch skeletal muscles.

A monoclonal antibody against phospholamban has been reported to increase Ca2+ uptake by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. We compared the effect of this antibody on Ca2+ pump ATPase activity of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles to the effect of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of phospholamban. The antibody markedly stimulated the Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity in parallel to the increase in Ca2+ uptake by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. When the Ca(2+)-dependent profile of the ATPase activity was compared, the KCa was shifted from 1.24 to 0.62 microM by the antibody, whereas cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of phospholamban shifted the KCa to 0.84 microM. When cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were treated with both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the antibody, the stimulation was the same as that with the antibody alone. Thus, the Ca2+ pump ATPase seems to be fully activated by the antibody. The stoichiometry between Ca2+ uptake and ATPase rate was around 1 and no significant change was observed by the treatment with the antibody. Therefore, the stimulation of Ca2+ uptake of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum by the antibody occurred by the stimulation of Ca2+ pump ATPase, not by other mechanisms such as channel activity of phospholamban. These results indicate that the binding of the antibody to phospholamban produces essentially the same mode of action on Ca2+ pump ATPase as that of phospholamban phosphorylation. The antibody and phospholamban phosphorylation appear to release the inhibitory action of phospholamban on Ca2+ pump ATPase, resulting in the stimulation of Ca2+ pump.

The protein phosphatases which dephosphorylate native, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)-associated phospholamban were studied in cardiac muscle extracts and in a Triton fraction prepared by detergent extraction of myofibrils, the latter fraction containing 70-80% of the SR-associated proteins present in the tissue. At physiological concentrations of free Mg2+ (1 mM), protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) accounted for approximately 70% of the total phospholamban phosphatase activity in these fractions towards either Ser-16 (the residue labelled by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, PK-A) or Thr-17 (the residue phosphorylated by an SR-associated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase). Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) accounted for the remainder of the activity. A major form of cardiac PP1, present in comparable amounts in both the extract and Triton fraction, was similar, if not identical, to skeletal muscle protein phosphatase 1G (PP1G), which is composed of the PP1 catalytic (C) subunit complexed to a G subunit of approximately 160 kDa, responsible for targeting PP1 to both the SR and glycogen particles of skeletal muscle. This conclusion was based on immunoblotting experiments using antibody to the G subunit, ability to bind to glycogen and the release of PP1 activity from glycogen upon incubation with PK-A and MgATP. PP1 accounted for approximately 90% of the phospholamban (Ser-16 or Thr-17) phosphatase activity in the material sedimented by centrifugation at 45,000 x g, a fraction prepared from cardiac extracts which is enriched in SR membranes. The G subunit in this fraction could be solubilised by Triton X-100, but not with 0.5 M NaCl or digestion with alpha-amylase, indicating that it is bound to membranes and not to glycogen. By analogy with the situation in skeletal muscle, the PK-A catalysed phosphorylation of the G subunit, with ensuing release of the C subunit from the SR, may prevent PP1 from dephosphorylating SR-bound substrates and represent one of the mechanisms by which adrenalin increases the phosphorylation of cardiac phospholamban (Ser-16 and Thr-17) in vivo. Hearts left in situ post mortem lose 85-95% of their PP1 activity within 20-30 min. This remarkable disappearance of PP1 may partly explain why the importance of this enzyme in cardiac muscle metabolism has not been recognized previously.

Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to the major sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins of rabbit skeletal and canine cardiac muscle have been used to identify and characterize the corresponding components of human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. The Ca2(+)-transporting ATPase of human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum was identified as a 105,000-Da protein antigenically distinct from its rabbit skeletal muscle counterpart. Human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum also contained 53,000- 155,000- and 165,000-Da glycoproteins antigenically related to the low and high molecular weight glycoproteins of canine cardiac and rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. The ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ channel of human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum was identified as a 400,000-Da protein antigenically related to its counterparts in canine cardiac and rabbit skeletal muscle. Human cardiac calsequestrin was identified as a 52,000-Da protein. Human phospholamban was identified as a 29,000-Da substrate for phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Immunoblots of sarcoplasmic reticulum from the normal left ventricles of four unmatched organ donors and the excised failing left ventricles of nine patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy were compared in search of qualitative differences in the protein patterns of the failing hearts. No such differences were found with respect to the Ca2+ ATPase, the 53,000-Da glycoprotein, the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ channel, calsequestrin or phospholamban. In contrast, the 165,000-Da glycoprotein band, present in all four preparations from nonfailing hearts, was absent from three of nine preparations from failing hearts, and staining of the 155,000-Da glycoprotein in these three preparations appeared to be relatively increased. The absence of the 165,000-Da glycoprotein band may identify or reflect a pathogenetic mechanism in a subset of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

The Ca2(+)-ATPase in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is under regulation by phospholamban, an oligomeric proteolipid. To determine the molecular mechanism by which phospholamban regulates the Ca2(+)-ATPase, a reconstitution system was developed, using a freeze-thaw sonication procedure. The best rates of Ca2+ uptake (700 nmol/min/mg reconstituted vesicles compared with 800 nmol/min/mg SR vesicles) were observed when cholate and phosphatidylcholine were used at a ratio of cholate/phosphatidylcholine/Ca2(+)-ATPase of 2:80:1. The EC50 values for Ca2+ were 0.05 microM for both Ca2+ uptake and Ca2(+)-ATPase activity in the reconstituted vesicles compared with 0.63 microM Ca2+ in native SR vesicles. Inclusion of phospholamban in the reconstituted vesicles was associated with a significant inhibition of the initial rates of Ca2+ uptake at pCa 6.0. However, phosphorylation of phospholamban by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase reversed the inhibitory effect on the Ca2+ pump. Similar findings were observed when a peptide, corresponding to amino acids 1-25 of phospholamban, was used. These findings indicate that phospholamban is an inhibitor of the Ca2(+)-ATPase in cardiac SR and phosphorylation of phospholamban relieves this inhibition. The mechanism by which phospholamban inhibits the Ca2+ pump is unknown, but our findings with the synthetic peptide suggest that a direct interaction between the Ca2(+)-ATPase and the hydrophilic portion of phospholamban may be one of the mechanisms for regulation.

Studies in animal models have suggested that alterations affecting phospholamban-mediated stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum are involved in the pathophysiology of heart disease. A monoclonal antibody that binds to phospholamban and stimulates Ca2+ uptake was used to characterize phospholamban-mediated effects in human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and to compare these effects in tissue from normal and failing hearts. Stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by anti-phospholamban monoclonal antibody simulated the effect of phosphorylation of phospholamban by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Binding of anti-phospholamban antibody reduced the K0.5 of the Ca2(+)-transporting ATPase from 0.53 microM [( Ca2+]) to 0.29 microM [( Ca2+]), without affecting Vmax or nHill. At 0.2 microM Ca2+, stimulation was 1.93-fold in sarcoplasmic reticulum prepared from normal human left ventricular myocardium and 1.94-fold in sarcoplasmic reticulum prepared from the left ventricular myocardium of patients with heart failure resulting from idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Stimulation of Ca2+ uptake in canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum under identical conditions was 1.89-fold. Phospholamban-mediated stimulation of Ca2+ uptake in human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum is thus comparable in magnitude to that observed in other species and results from an increase in the apparent affinity of the Ca2(+)-transporting ATPase for Ca2+. The pathogenesis of heart failure in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy does not, however, appear to involve intrinsic alterations of this mechanism.
