N alpha-Toysl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (Tos-LysCH2Cl) was found to inhibit irreversibly the onset of the hormone-induced refractory state in intact thymocytes. When thymocytes (approximately 2 X 10(7) cells per ml) are treated with Tos-LysCH2Cl(10(-4) M, for 90 min at pH 7 and 37 degrees C) the cells retain their viability, including a full capacity to recognize and respond to hormonal stimuli, yet they selectively lose their ability to become desensitized to persistent triggering by a hormone, as reflected in the state of activation of intracellular cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37). Whereas upon hormonal stimulation of untreated cells the immediate rise in the state of activation of this enzyme (up to an activity ratio of > 0.85) is followed by an exponential decline to basal values within approximately 60 min, in TosLysCH2Cl-treated cells the hormone-triggered elevation in the state of activation of the enzyme is maintained for > 60 min. Evidence is presented to suggest that in thymocytes TosLysCH2Cl inhibits the regulatory process that normally uncouples the adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] system without interfering with previous or subsequent molecular events connected with the transfer of hormonal signals across the cell membrane. This technique allows, therefore, the preparation of viable thymocytes with a limited and distinct regulatory defect introduced by chemical (covalent) means. As such, it is most useful for studies aimed at the elucidation of the mechanism of cell desensitization and for further characterization and localization of key components responsible for cellular refractoriness.

Interaction of cGMP-dependent protein kinase with histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, or poly(L-arginine) resulted in changes in enzyme conformation such that inactivation of cGMP binding and activation of basal catalytic activity (assayed without cGMP) occurred. Total kinase activity as determined by phosphorylation of exogenous substrates subsequently decreased, but autophosphorylation of the enzyme was enhanced. The reaction was specific for nucleosome core histones and poly(L-arginine); H1, troponin, and poly(L-lysine) had no effect. Inactivation of cyclic nucleotide binding sites followed pseudo-first order kinetics and, at various histone concentrations, exhibited saturation kinetics at low ionic strength (2 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.8), but non-saturation kinetics at higher ionic strength (37.5 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.8, 12.5 mM MgCl2). Saturation kinetics was observed with poly(L-arginine) at both low and high ionic strength. Kinetic parameters measured under saturation conditions were determined for each core histone and poly(L-arginine). Core histones and poly(L-arginine) were noncompetitive inhibitors of cGMP binding; core histones and poly(L-arginine) interacted competitively at an enzyme site designated as the poly(L-arginine) binding site. Regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase contain a similar poly(L-arginine) binding site. Modulator proteins bind to poly(L-arginine) or arginyl residues in histone to prevent interaction with the poly(L-arginine) binding site on the enzymes. Through this mechanism, modulator proteins maintain cyclic nucleotide dependency and full enzyme activity.

The amino acid sequence around the site of the regulatory subunit of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (RI) that is phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase has been determined. This site was found to be located near the site on RI previously shown to be very sensitive to hydrolysis by trypsin (Potter, R. L., and Taylor, S. S. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 2413-2418). The primary sequence surrounding the site is as follows: -Lys-Ala-Gly-Ser-Arg-Ala-Asp-Ser-Arg-Glu-Asp-Glu-Ile-Ser-Pro-Pro-Pro-Pro-Asn-Pro-Val-Val-Lys-Gly-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Gly-Ala-Ile-Ser(P)-Ala-Glu-Val-Tyr-Thr-Glu-Glu-Asp-Ala-Ala-Ser-Tyr-Val-Arg-Lys-Val-Ile-Pro-Lys-Asp-Tyr-Lys-Thr-. As described previously (Geahlen, R. L., and Krebs, E. G. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 1164-1169), this site is specific for cGMP-dependent protein kinase and is not phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

p-Fluorosulfonylbenzoyl 5'-adenosine (FSO2BzAdo) was shown previously to be an irreversible inhibitor of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase II from porcine skeletal muscle (Zoller, M. J., and Taylor, S. S. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 8363-8368). The catalytic subunit of porcine heart cAMP-dependent protein kinase was also inhibited following incubation with FSO2[14C]BzAdo, and inhibition was shown to result from the stoichiometric, covalent modification of a single lysine residue. The amino acid sequence in an extended region around the carboxybenzenesulfonyl lysine (CBS-lysine) was elucidated by characterizing both tryptic and cyanogen bromide peptides containing the 14C-modified residue. The sequence in this region was Leu-Val-Lys-His-Lys-Glu-Thr-Gly-Asn-His-Phe-Ala-Met-Lys(CBS)-Ile-Leu-Asp-Lys-Glu-Lys-Val-Val-Lys-Leu-Lys-Gln-Ile. The covalently modified residue corresponded to lysine 71 in the overall polypeptide chain. Homologies to bovine heart catalytic subunit and to a site modified by FSO2BzAdo in phosphofructokinase are considered.

The amino acid sequence at the ATP-binding site on the cGMP-dependent protein kinase has been determined. For this determination the enzyme was labeled covalently by 5'-p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyladenosine and fragmented using cyanogen bromide or digested by trypsin after succinylation. The 14C-labeled peptides were purified by gel filtration and high performance liquid chromatography. The amino acid sequence around the site was found to be: -Val-Glu-Leu-Val-Gln-Leu-Lys-Ser-Glu-Glu-Ser-Lys-Thr-Phe-Ala-Met-*Lys-Ile-Leu-Lys--Lys-Arg-His-Ile-Val-Asp-Thr-Arg-Gln-Gln-Glu-His-Ile-Arg-Ser-Glu-Lys-, in which *Lys is the lysine residue that was modified by the affinity reagent. When this sequence was compared with that of the ATP-binding site of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a high degree of structural homology was observed for this site in the two proteins.

A synthetic pentadecapeptide, Pro-Leu-Ser-Arg-Thr-Leu-Ser-Val-Ser-Ser-Leu-Pro-Gly-Leu-Glu, corresponding to the phosphorylatable site at the NH2 terminus of glycogen synthase, could be phosphorylated stoichiometrically at seryl residue 7 by both phosphorylase kinase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of seryl residue 3 also occurred after prolonged incubation with cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Kinetic studies show that the pentadecapeptide is a better substrate for phosphorylase kinase. A peptide consisting of residues 1-11 was not as good a substrate and substitution of Arg-4 by Lys and Ser-9 by ARg in the unidecapeptide decreased and increased phosphorylase kinase reaction rates, respectively. Higher rates of phosphorylation were obtained with peptides of the phosphorylatable site of phosphorylase. A peptide with the sequence, Leu-Ser-Tyr-Arg-Arg-Tyr-Ser-Leu was phosphorylated initially by phosphorylase kinase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase at Ser-2 and Ser-7, respectively. Upon longer incubation, second site phosphorylation occurred with both kinases. A peptide of the same sequence with D-amino acids could not be phosphorylated but was a competitive inhibitor of both enzymes. The results suggest that optimal interaction of the two kinases depends on various factors including the orientation of arginyl groups with respect to the phosphorylatable serine.

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 transforming protein sequences translated from the Rous avian and Moloney murine sarcoma virus src genes are shown to be related to the catalytic chain of bovine cAMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37). The avian transforming protein, also a protein kinase, shows greatest homology with the bovine protein kinase in the carboxyl-terminal half, where the protein kinase activity is localized. Moreover, lysine occurs in the inferred transforming protein sequences at the position homologous with the proposed ATP-binding lysine of the bovine protein kinase. This relationship is consistent with the hypothesis that the src genes originated in the host genomes, in which they are members of a superfamily of distantly related protein kinases that are normal constituents of mammalian cells. In the host, these sequences are much more highly conserved than in the viruses.

A synthetic tetradecapeptide derived from the phosphorylation site of the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase (Arg-Thr-Lys-Arg-Ser-Gly-Ser-Val-Tyr-Glu-Pro-Leu-Lys-Ile) is a highly efficient substrate for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, exhibiting a 36% decrease in the intrinsic tyrosine fluorescence on phosphorylation. The fluorescence changes in continuous assays were monitored to demonstrate the roles of protein kinase effectors (cAMP, the type II regulatory subunit, and the 8000-Da heat-stable inhibitor) in the regulation of the enzyme and to determine Km and Vmax. The phosphorylation reaction requires 1 mol ATP/mol peptide. Amino acid analysis demonstrates the presence of phosphoserine in the phosphorylated peptide. Auxiliary experiments show that tyrosine phosphorylation can also be detected fluorometrically and distinguished from serine or threonine phosphorylation.

The enzymic properties of two protein phosphokinase activities in human prostatic secretion were determined with partially dephosphorylated phosvitin and lysine-rich histones as acceptor protein substrates. Both kinase activities had pH optima of 8.0 and required Mg2+. The histone kinase activity was stimulated by dithiothreitol and inhibited by increased ionic strength. Similarly, it was inhibited by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor. MnCl2 and CaCl2 substituted poorly for MgCl2. In contrast, the phosvitin kinase activity was stimulated by increased ionic strength and inhibited by dithiothreitol. It was, however, unaffected by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor. MnCl2 and CaCl2 substituted effectively for MgCl2. Both kinase activities were reduced 60% to 65% in prostatic fluids in men with chronic prostatitis.
