Phosphorylation of the insulin-regulatable glucose transporter (IRGT) is increased by incubating rat adipocytes with isoproterenol or by incubating microsomal membranes with cAMP-dependent protein kinase. To attempt to locate the sites of phosphorylation, the IRGT (apparent Mr = 46,000) was immunoprecipitated from 32P-labeled adipocytes and cleaved with CNBr or trypsin. Essentially all of the 32P could be recovered in a single CNBr fragment, denoted CB-T (Mr = 8,000), which bound a polyclonal antibody (R820) against a peptide having the sequence of the last 12 amino acids in the COOH terminus of the IRGT. 32P-Labeling of the IRGT was also confined to CB-T when membranes were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Isoproterenol increased phosphorylation of CB-T, but insulin was without effect. To resolve phosphorylation sites further, IRGT from 32P-labeled cells was subjected to exhaustive proteolysis with trypsin. Samples were applied to a C-18 column, and 32P-labeled fragments were resolved into three peak fractions by elution with an increasing gradient of acetonitrile. [32P]Phosphoserine was the only phosphoamino acid detected in any of the peaks. Peak III contained approximately 80% of the 32P and was increased by isoproterenol. Almost all of the 32P introduced by cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro eluted in Peak III. In all cases, the 32P-labeled species in Peak III were quantitatively immunoprecipitated by R820. Digesting the peptide(s) in Peak III with V8 protease generated a single peak of 32P which eluted at lower acetonitrile than Peak III and contained 32P-labeled species that did not interact with R820. Automated Edman degradation indicated that the serine residue in Peak III phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was the 3rd or 4th residue from the NH2 terminus of the peptide. These findings indicate that phosphorylation of the IRGT is restricted to the presumed intracellular domain at the COOH terminus and that Ser488 is a major site phosphorylated both by cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro and in response to isoproterenol in vivo.

Following incubation of HPV 1-induced warts in the presence of [32P] phosphate several of the E4-encoded proteins were found to be radiolabeled. Two-dimensional isoelectric focusing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the 17K E4 polypeptides had incorporated [32P]phosphate whereas those of 16K were unlabeled. Purified E4 gene products were separated by ion exchange chromatography into a large number of different species, which were of similar size but of different charge due to varying extents of phosphorylated peptides have been isolated and identified. Phosphoserine and phosphothreonine were identified in all 16/17K E4 fractions but not phosphotyrosine. Both HPV 1 E4 16K and 17K fractions were phosphorylated in vitro by cAMP-dependent protein kinase but not by myosin light chain kinase or by phosphorylase kinase. Incubation with cAMP PK gave incorporation of approx. 0.5 mole phosphate/mol of protein indicating that the cAMP-dependent protein kinase site(s) was partially phosphorylated in vivo. This view was supported by the fact that species which were more heavily phosphorylated in vivo incorporated less phosphate after cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation. HPV 1 E4 was also phosphorylated at serine and threonine residues by a crude cytoplasmic extract prepared from cultured human keratinocytes and cultured human retinoblasts. These results are discussed in the light of the known effects of phosphorylation on the interactions of other keratinocyte-specific proteins.

The cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the 165-kDa subunit of the receptor for organic calcium channel blockers (CaCB-receptors) was studied. Tryptic peptide analysis showed that cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates rapidly a serine in one peptide. Up to three peptides containing phosphoserine and -threonine are phosphorylated in a 2-h incubation. The isolated 165-kDa subunit was digested with trypsin and the endoproteinase Lys-C and Glu-C. The rapidly phosphorylated peptide was isolated from each digest. The amino acid sequence was determined by Edman degradation and compared with the deduced amino acid sequence of the CaCB-receptor from rabbit skeletal muscle (Tanabe, T., Takeshima, H., Mikami, A., Flockerzi, V., Takahashi, H., Kangawa, K., Kojima, M., Matsuo, H., Hirose, T., and Numa, S. (1987) Nature 238, 313-318). Phosphoserine was determined as the phenylthiohydantoin-derivative of dithiothreitol-dehydroalanine. The phosphorylated serine was identified as Ser-687 which is localized between the transmembrane regions II and III. A second phosphopeptide was isolated into which phosphate was incorporated into Ser-1617 with a slow time course. This peptide is located in the COOH-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the 165-kDa subunit. It is anticipated that phosphorylation of serine 687 affects the opening probability of the calcium channel.

In this study, we found that Hg2+ and Cd2+ enhanced the phosphorylation of human erythrocyte membranous proteins, especially band 4.2 protein, which was hardly phosphorylated in the absence of the metal ions. p-Chloromercuribenzenesulfonate and p-chloromercuribenzoate had effects similar to those of Hg2+ and Cd2+ on band 4.2 protein phosphorylation, while other metal ions and sulfhydryl agents, such as N-ethylmaleimide, 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid), or iodoacetate, did not. The Hg2+-stimulated phosphorylation of band 4.2 protein required a millimolar concentration of Mg2+, and it was inhibited by Ca2+ dose-dependently. Phosphoserine was identified from a hydrolysate of the phosphorylated band 4.2 protein by high-voltage electrophoresis. A specific protein inhibitor against cAMP-dependent protein kinase decreased the Hg2+-stimulated phosphorylation of band 4.2 protein. This protein had more binding sites for 203Hg2+ than any other membrane proteins. A spectrin complex from the Hg2+-treated membranes contained the band 4.2 protein, which was not detected in the complex from untreated membranes. Furthermore, protein kinase, which could phosphorylate the band 4.2 protein, was also contained in the cytoskeletal fraction from the Hg2+-treated membranes. These results suggest that Hg2+ may bind certain sulfhydryl groups of band 4.2 and other proteins to make band 4.2 protein susceptible to the endogenous cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Both the triple-helical and denatured forms of nonfibrillar bovine dermal type I collagen were tested as substrates for the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in an in vitro reaction. Native, triple-helical collagen was not phosphorylated, but collagen that had been thermally denatured into individual alpha chains was a substrate for the protein kinase. Catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated denatured collagen to between 3 to 4 mol of phosphate/mol of (alpha 1(I)2 alpha 2(I). Pepsin-solubilized and intact collagens were phosphorylated similarly, as long as each was in a nonhelical conformation. The first 2 mol of phosphate incorporated into type I collagen by the protein kinase were present in the alpha 2(I) chain. The alpha 1(I) chain was only phosphorylated during long incubations in which the stoichiometry exceeded 2 mol of phosphate/mol of (alpha 1(I)2 alpha 2(I). Phosphoserine was the only phosphoamino acid identified in collagen that had been phosphorylated to any degree by the protein kinase. The 2 mol of phosphate incorporated into the alpha 2(I) chain were localized to the alpha 2(I)CB4 cyanogen bromide fragment. The catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated denatured pepsin-solubilized collagen with a Km of 8 microM and a Vmax of approximately 0.1 mumol/min/mg of enzyme. Denatured, but not triple-helical, type I collagen was also phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase, although it was a poorer substrate for this enzyme than for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Collagen was not a substrate for phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase. These results suggest the potential for nascent alpha chains of type I collagen to be susceptible to phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vivo prior to triple-helix formation. Such a phosphorylation of collagen could be relevant to the action of cAMP to increase the intracellular degradation of newly synthesized collagen.

The most conspicuous brain microtubule-associated protein, MAP-2, has been shown to contain 8-10 mol of covalently bound phosphate/mol, as isolated. The MAP-2-associated cAMP-dependent protein kinase can add 10-12 more phosphates, using cycled microtubule preparations, but it does not catalyze exchange between ATP and the pre-existing protein phosphate. We now show that the phosphates that turn over in vivo, after intracerebral injection of 32Pi, are primarily in the projection domain of MAP-2, whereas the sites phosphorylated in vitro are more concentrated in the binding domain. Phosphoserine and phosphothreonine were recovered in a 6:1 ratio from partial acid hydrolysates of MAP-2 phosphorylated either in vivo or in vitro. A protein phosphatase, purified from brain, released residues from in vitro sites in both domains. The enzyme did not release appreciable phosphate that had turned over in vivo, and similar specificity was shown by three other purified protein phosphatases: calcineurin (also from brain) and smooth muscle phosphatases I and II. Thus, even in the projection domain, different sites may be involved.
