Chromosomal high mobility group (HMG) proteins have been examined as substrates for cGMP-dependent and cAMP-dependent protein kinases. Of the four HMG proteins only HMG 14 contained a major high affinity site which could be phosphorylated by both enzymes, preferentially by cGMP-dependent protein kinase. One mol of 32P was incorporated/mol of HMG 14. Kinetic analysis revealed apparent Km and Vmax of 40.5 microM and 14.7 mumol/min/mg, respectively, for cGMP-dependent protein kinase, and 123 microM and 11.1 mumol/min/mg, respectively, for cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Tryptic maps of 32P-labeled phosphopeptides of HMG 14 demonstrated phosphorylation of the same site by both enzymes. The tryptic fragment containing the major phosphorylation site was identified by amino acid composition and sequence as HMG 14 (residues 4-13): H-Lys-Val-Ser(P)-Ser-Ala-Glu-Gly-Ala-Ala-Lys-OH. HMG 14 and HMG 17 also contained minor sites which could be phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Tryptic phosphopeptides mapping suggested that the same minor site was phosphorylated on both HMG 14 and 17. On the basis of amino acid composition, the tryptic peptides carrying the minor phosphorylation sites were identified as H-Leu-Ser(P)-Ala-Lys representing residues 23-26 and 27-30 of HMG 14 and HMG 17, respectively.

The synthetic phosphohexapeptides Arg-Arg-Ala-Thr(35P)-Val-Ala and Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser(32P)-Val-Ala, phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and differing only in the nature of the phosphorylated residue, have been used as substrates of a partially purified rat liver protein phosphatase-T, distinct from the multifunctional protein phosphatase-1. While the phosphothreonyl hexapeptide is readily dephosphorylated (exhibiting a Km = 15 microM), the phosphoseryl one is almost unaffected. Such a behavior is not shared by protein phosphatase-1, calf intestine alkaline phosphatase, and potato acid phosphatase, all of which are more active on the phosphoseryl hexapeptide. The NH2-terminal basic residues critical for cAMP-dependent phosphorylation are not required in the dephosphorylation reaction, as both Arg can be removed without impairing the efficiency of protein phosphatase-T toward the phosphothreonyl peptide. On the other hand, the replacement of 2 Pro for the Ala and Val flanking Thr(32P), to give a new phosphohexapeptide reproducing the phosphorylated site of protein phosphatase inhibitor-1, prevents the protein phosphatase-T activity. Moreover, IgG heavy chain 32P labeled in tyrosine is not affected by protein phosphatase-T, while it is dephosphorylated by alkaline phosphatase. These results would indicate that protein phosphatase(s)-T represent a distinct class of protein phosphatases specifically involved in the dephosphorylation of phosphothreonyl residues fulfilling definite structural requirements.

The modification and concomitant inactivation of the catalytic subunit of bovine heart cAMP-dependent protein kinase with affinity analogs of peptide substrates potentially capable of undergoing disulfide interchange with enzyme-bound sulfhydryl groups have been used to probe the active site associated with peptide binding. The regeneration of catalytic activity on treatment of the modified enzymes with dithiothreitol and the observation that prior reaction with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) blocks the modification of the kinase by these reagents are consistent with the proposal that only thiol residues are reacting. The affinity analog Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Cys(3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl)-Leu-Gly, 1, and the closely related peptide AcLeu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Cys(3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl)-Leu-Gly-OEt, 3, react with a single sulfhydryl as shown by the stoichiometry of the release of the 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl group and the amount of label incorporated in the enzyme when the radioactively labeled peptide analog of 3 (peptide 4) is employed as the modifying agent. The kinetics of the reaction of 1 with 4.3 microM catalytic subunit was monophasic (employing substrate in excess conditions), yielding an apparent value of KI of approximately 40 microM and a k2 value of approximately 0.25 s-1. The low value of the observed KI, together with the observation that protein kinase substrates inhibit the modification reactions, suggest strongly that the cysteine residue undergoing reaction is in the vicinity of the active site. By trypsin-catalyzed degradation and identification of the peptide segment modified by covalent attachment of the peptide portion of the radioactive analog 4, the single cysteine modified was identified as cysteine-198.

32P-labeled ATP-citrate lyase isolated from 32P-labeled hepatocytes treated with insulin contained 1.6-1.8-fold greater 32P-radioactivity per mg protein than control enzyme. Both enzyme preparations were digested in parallel with trypsin until 94% of all 32P-radioactivity was rendered acid soluble. Quantitative high performance liquid chromatographic peptide mapping of the tryptic digests revealed a principal 32P-peptide which accounted for at least 80% of the insulin induced increment in 32P-radioactivity of native lyase. This peptide was purified, sequenced, and the site of 32P-phosphorylation assigned by two methods: electrophoresis (pH 6.5) of residual peptide after each step of Edman degradation and solid phase sequencing. The site of insulin-directed phosphorylation of ATP-citrate lyase (Thr-Ala-Ser(32P)-Phe-Ser-Glu-Ser-Arg) is the same as that directed by glucagon, and, in turn, identical with that phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro.

In hepatocytes 32P-incorporation into rat liver phosphofructokinase is stimulated by glucose as well as by glucagon, the effects of both stimuli being prevented by L-alanine [Eur. J. Biochem. (1982) 122, 175]. The phosphopeptides of the enzyme derived from limited proteolysis by subtilisin and from exhaustive tryptic digestion were analyzed either by one-dimensional mapping on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide slab gels and by fingerprint mapping, respectively. It is shown that in vivo stimulation of 32P-incorporation by glucose or by glucose plus glucagon results in identical phosphopeptide maps, and that these maps were identical with those obtained from phosphofructokinase phosphorylated in vitro with catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. It is concluded that in the intact liver cell phosphofructokinase is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase but that the state of phosphorylation is modified by metabolite control.

The interaction of lin-benzoadenosine di- and triphosphates with the catalytic subunit and type II holoenzymes of adenosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) dependent protein kinase has been investigated by steady-state kinetics and fluorescence spectroscopy. lin-Benzo-ADP is a competitive inhibitor of the catalytic subunit with respect to ATP with a Ki (8.0 microM) similar to the Ki for ADP (9.0 microM). This value agrees well with the Kd (9.0 microM) determined by fluorescence polarization titration. Type II holoenzymes from bovine brain and skeletal muscle have Kd values for lin-benzo-ADP of 3.4 microM and 3.5 microM, respectively, and each binds approximately 2 mol/mol of R2C2 tetramer. Furthermore, fluorescence polarization studies indicate that both the catalytic subunit and type II holoenzyme bind lin-benzo-ADP rigidly, so that there is little or no rotation of the lin-benzoadenine portion of the molecule within the nucleotide binding site. lin-Benzo-ATP is a substrate for the phosphotransferase activities of protein kinase with peptides, water, or type II regulatory subunit as phosphoryl acceptors. With Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly as phosphoryl acceptor, the Km for lin-benzo-ATP is 11.3 microM, and that for ATP is 11.9 microM. The Vmax with lin-benzo-ATP is 20% of the Vmax with ATP as the substrate [24.9 +/- 1.8 mumol/(min . mg) vs. 5.0 +/- 1.2 mumol/(min . mg)]. Thus lin-benzo-ATP is the best nucleotide substrate (besides ATP) for the catalytic subunit reported. 1,N6-Etheno-ATP (epsilon ATP), on the other hand, is a poor substrate for the catalytic subunit with a Km of 1.8 mM and a Vmax that is 4% of the Vmax for ATP, making it unsuitable as a fluorescence probe for cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

The details of the process by which protein kinase catalyzes phosphoryl group transfers are beginning to be understood. Early work that explored the primary specificity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase action enabled the synthesis of small peptide substrates for the enzyme. Enzyme-peptide interactions seem simpler to understand than protein-protein interactions, so peptide substrates have been used in most protein kinase studies. In most investigations the kinetics for the phosphorylation of small peptides have been interpreted as being consistent with mechanisms which do not invoke phospho-enzyme intermediates (see, for example, Bolen et al.). Protein kinase has been shown to bind two metal ions in the presence of a nucleotide. Using magnetic resonance techniques the binding of these ions has been utilized to elucidate the conformation of nucleotide and peptide substrates or inhibitors when bound in the enzymic active site. Also, two new peptides with the form Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Y-Gly, where Y was either Pro or (N-methyl)Leu, were synthesized and found not to be substrates, within the limits of detection, for protein kinase. The striking lack of affinity that protein kinase has for such peptides which are unlikely to form a beta 3-6 turn has not been reported before. Our results may indicate that this type of turn is a requirement for protein kinase catalyzed phosphorylation or that these peptides lack the ability to form a particular hydrogen bond with the enzyme. Magnetic resonance techniques have indicated that the distance between the phosphorous in the gamma-phosphoryl group of MgATP and the hydroxyl oxygen of serine in the peptide Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly is 5.3 +/- 0.7 A. This, together with certain kinetic evidence, suggests that the mechanism by which protein kinase catalyzes phosphoryl group transfer has considerable dissociative character. Chemical modifications, including one using a peptide-based affinity label, have identified two residues at or near the active site, lysine-72 and cysteine 199. While neither of these groups has been shown to be catalytically essential, similar studies may help to identify groups that are directly involved in the catalytic process. Finally, a spectrophotometric assay for cAMP-dependent protein kinase has been described. Using this assay the preliminary results of an in-depth study of the pH dependence of protein kinase catalyzed phosphoryl group transfer have been obtained. This study shall aid in the identification of active site residues and should contribute to the elucidation of the enzyme's catalytic mechanism.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

cAMP-dependent protein kinase has been purified to homogeneity from adult bodies of Drosophila melanogaster. It is tetrameric in structure with two regulatory and two catalytic subunits that dissociate when activated by cAMP. The regulatory subunit exists in phospho and dephospho forms, which have electrophoretic mobilities in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels corresponding to Mr = 58,000 and 52,000, respectively. The catalytic subunit has a molecular weight of 40,000. The holoenzyme has a Stokes radius of 4.7 nm. The Km for activation by cAMP is substrate-dependent with Km values of 20 nM with histone H2B and 100 nM with the peptide, Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly. These physical and kinetic properties are very similar to those of the bovine heart Type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase. A Drosophila Type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase was also found in larval stages and during the first half of pupation but was absent in embryos and adults. The fly Type II enzyme was present in all developmental stages. Three regions of the Drosophila genome were found which, when present in three copies, significantly alter the specific activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These are located at 29F-33F (30% increase), 46A-50C (17% increase), and 66B-67D (16% decrease).

The synthetic hexapeptide Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Val-Glu and its N-acetylated derivative are readily and specifically phosphorylated by rat liver casein kinase TS (type-2), while the derived heptapeptide with an additional N-terminal Arg is a very poor substrate. Conversely, the substitution of Glu for Val5 in the synthetic peptide Arg-Arg-Ser-Thr-Val-Ala, which is a good substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase by virtue of the N-terminal arginyl residues, prevents its phosphorylation by this enzyme. These data indicate that the site specificities of these two classes of protein kinases, requiring acidic and basic residues on the C- and N-terminal sides of the target residue(s), respectively, are mutually incompatible.

The hexapeptides AcSer-Glu-Glu-Glu-Val-Glu and Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Glu-Glu, reminiscent of the sites phosphorylated by type-2 casein kinase TS in troponin T and glycogen synthase, respectively, have been synthesized and tested as phosphorylatable substrates for casein kinase TS as well as for other protein kinases. Both peptides are readily phosphorylated by casein kinase TS but not, to any detectable extent, by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or phosphorylase kinase. Phosphorylation by type-1 casein kinase S was almost negligible. On the other hand the hexapeptide Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Ala-Ala is phosphorylated much more slowly and the hexapeptide Ser-Glu-Glu-Ala-Ala-Ala is almost unaffected by casein kinase TS. While the Vmax values of casein kinase TS with the acidic hexapeptides are comparable to those obtained with the corresponding protein substrates, the apparent Km values for the peptides are about two orders of magnitude higher than those for the protein substrates. The heptapeptide Arg-Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Val-Glu is a very poor substrate of casein kinase TS in comparison with the corresponding hexapeptide lacking the N-terminal Arg; it is, however, a competitive inhibitor toward the protein substrates, exhibiting a Ki similar to those of Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Glu-Glu and (Glu)5 which, in turn, are one order of magnitude higher than that of (Glu)10. It is concluded that the minimum structural requirement of type-2 casein kinases consists of a phosphorylatable residue followed by an acidic cluster, whose length is critical for the binding to the enzyme. Additional residues on the N-terminal side are not required, but their nature can influence the transphosphorylation reaction considerably.
