The synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-phosphate and PI 4,5-bisphosphate in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is stimulated by glucose. PI 4-kinase (ATP:phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.67) catalyzes the committed step in the synthesis of these phosphoinositides. Previous studies have suggested that the glucose effect on phosphoinositide synthesis is mediated by cellular levels of ATP and ADP and by the RAS/cAMP pathway. Using purified preparations of the membrane-associated 45- and 55-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase, we examined the regulation of these activities by nucleotides and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. MgADP was a potent inhibitor of both forms of the enzyme. Detailed kinetic analyses of the 45- and 55-kDa enzymes using Triton X-100/PI-mixed micelles showed that MgADP was a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 0.14 and 0.25 mM, respectively) with respect to MgATP and a noncompetitive inhibitor (Ki = 1.3 and 0.9 mM, respectively) with respect to PI. The Ki values for MgADP were about 2-fold lower than the Km values the enzymes have for their substrate MgATP and about 2-fold lower than the cellular concentration of ADP. The 45- and 55-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase activity were regulated differentially by CTP, an important nucleotide involved in phospholipid biosynthesis. Whereas the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase was inhibited by CTP, the 45-kDa enzyme was unaffected by CTP. CTP was a mixed type of inhibitor (Ki = 1.5 mM) with respect to MgATP and a noncompetitive inhibitor (Ki = 4 mM) with respect to PI. The Ki value for CTP was 4-fold higher than the Km value for MgATP and 7-fold higher than the cellular concentration of CTP. The 45- and 55-kDa PI 4-kinases were neither phosphorylated nor regulated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These results did not support the previous conclusion that PI 4-phosphate synthesis was mediated by the RAS/cAMP pathway. Our kinetic studies supported the conclusion that the glucose effect on the synthesis of PI 4-phosphate was mediated by cellular levels of ATP and ADP through the regulation of membrane-associated PI 4-kinase activity.

The presence and functional role of the cyclic nucleotide signal transduction system was investigated in platelets from patients with myeloproliferative disorders. Platelets from certain patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia showed decreased expression of cGMP-dependent protein kinase, and platelets from two such patients were studied in some detail. These platelets had very little if any cGMP-dependent protein kinase but a normal level of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. They also contained a normal level of VASP (vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, a specific substrate of both cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinase), as well as a functionally intact prostaglandin E1-stimulated cAMP-mediated VASP phosphorylation. In contrast, sodium nitroprusside-stimulated VASP phosphorylation was severely impaired in these cGMP-dependent protein kinase-deficient platelets, despite an exaggerated cGMP response to sodium nitroprusside. Furthermore, whereas selective activation of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase by 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cGMP strongly inhibited the ADP- or thrombin-evoked calcium mobilization from intracellular stores in normal platelets, this agonist-evoked calcium response was not inhibited by the cGMP analog in cGMP-dependent protein kinase-deficient platelets. The results demonstrate a defect in the nitrovasodilator-/cGMP-regulated signal transduction system in human platelets from some patients with myeloproliferative disorders, and underscore that a cGMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory system, distinct from that of cAMP-dependent protein kinase or other cGMP-dependent effectors is operative in normal human platelets.

ADP evoked outwardly rectifying potassium currents with a latency of 0.6 s in cultured rat medullar neurons. Purinoceptor agonists, such as 2-methylthio ATP (2-MeSATP), ATP, AMP, alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-MeATP), and UTP, produced similar outward currents with the order of their potencies for current amplitudes: 2-MeSATP > ADP > ATP > or = alpha,beta-MeATP > or = AMP > UTP. This order corresponds to that for a subtype of P2Y purinoceptors. ADP-evoked currents were fully blocked by a broad G-protein inhibitor, guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S), whereas a G(i)/G(o)-protein inhibitor, pertussis toxin (PTX) had no effect. The currents were not affected by a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, neomycin. Furthermore, a selective protein kinase C inhibitor, GF109203X or a selective cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor, H-89 showed no effect on the currents. These results suggest that ADP activates the potassium channel via a P2Y purinoceptor linked to a PTX-insensitive G-protein and its channel regulation may be due to a direct action of the G-protein beta gamma subunits regardless of second messenger signaling cascades. Additionally, ADP enhanced intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) both in the presence and absence of extracellular calcium, and this [Ca2+]i increase was not inhibited by neomycin. This provides an additional evidence that ADP binds to a subtype of P2Y purinoceptors, which is not involved in PLC stimulation.

The phosphorylation of a peptide substrate by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase was monitored over short time periods (2-1000 ms) using a rapid quench flow mixing device and a radioactive assay. The production of phosphokemptide [LRRAS(P)LG] as a function of time is characterized by a rapid "burst" phase (250 s-1) followed by a slower, linear phase (L/[E]t = 21 s-1) at 100 microM Kemptide. The amplitude of this "burst" phase varies linearly with the enzyme concentration and represents approximately 100% of the total enzyme concentration, indicating that the "burst" phase is not due to product inhibition. The observed rate constants for the "burst" and linear phases and the "burst" amplitude vary hyperbolically with the substrate concentration. From these dependencies, a maximum "burst" rate constant of 500 +/- 60 s-1 and a Km and Kd for Kemptide of 4.9 +/- 1.4 and 200 +/- 60 microM were determined. The kcat and Km data extracted from the linear portion of the rapid quench flow transients are indistinguishable from those obtained by standard steady-state kinetic analyses using low catalytic subunit concentrations and a spectrophotometric, coupled enzyme assay. Both rate constants for the "burst" and linear phases decreased in the presence of Mn2+. The data imply that the phosphorylation of Kemptide by the catalytic subunit occurs by a mechanism in which the substrate is loosely bound, is rapidly phosphorylated at the active site, and is released at a steady-state rate that is likely controlled by the dissociation rate constant for ADP. The combined pre-steady-state kinetic data establish a comprehensive, kinetic mechanism that predicts all the steady-state kinetic and viscosometric data. This study represents the first chemical observation and characterization of phosphoryl transfer at the active site of a protein kinase and will be useful for further structure-function studies on this and other protein kinases.

To better understand the physical interaction between glycogen phosphorylase-b (P-b) and its only known kinase, phosphorylase kinase (PbK) and the relationship of this interaction to the activation of PbK, direct binding studies are necessary. By utilizing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, a method was developed for measuring the binding of PbK to immobilized P-b under a variety of experimental conditions. A monoclonal antibody specific for the alpha subunit of PbK that had no effect on the phosphorylation of P-b by PbK or on the interaction of PbK with known effectors was used to detect PbK bound to plated P-b. Hyperbolic binding curves were obtained regardless of whether the concentration of Pbk or P-b was varied, and the assay detected changes in relative affinity caused by certain effectors of the kinase. The allosteric effector ADP, alkaline pH, and phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, all activators of PbK, did not cause significant changes in its relative affinity for P-b; however, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions, which also stimulate PbK, increased its affinity for P-b, with Mg2+ being more effective. Mn2+, which inhibits the P-b conversion activity of PbK, was found to be the most potent enhancer of its affinity for P-b, although divalent cations may enhance binding. Inclusion of ATP analogs in the binding assay with Ca2+ and Mg2+ to stimulate catalytic assay conditions did not further affect the apparent affinity for P-b, which is consistent with the previously reported rapid equilibrium random bi-bi kinetic mechanism for P-b conversion.

ADP-induced platelet responses play an important role in the maintenance of hemostasis. There has been disagreement concerning the identity of an ADP receptor on the platelet surface. The chemical structure of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-CI) shows considerable resemblance to that of the adenine moiety of adenine-based nucleotides. The reagent has been previously used by other investigators as an affinity label for adenine nucleotide-requiring enzymes, such as mitochondrial ATPase and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Since ADP-induced platelet responses depend on the binding of ADP to its receptor, we investigated the effect on ADP-induced platelet responses and the nature of ADP-binding protein modified by NBD-CI. NBD-CI inhibited ADP-induced shape change and aggregation of platelets in platelet-rich plasma in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. NBD-CI also inhibited ADP-induced shape change, aggregation, exposure of fibrinogen binding sites, secretion, and calcium mobilization in washed platelets. NBD-CI did not act as an agonist for platelet shape change and aggregation. Covalent modification of platelets by NBD-CI blocked the ability of ADP to antagonize the increase in intracellular levels of cAMP mediated by iloprost (a stable analogue of prostaglandin I2). NBD-CI was quite specific in inhibiting platelet aggregation by those agonists, e.g., ADP, collagen, and U44619 (a thromboxane mimetic), that completely or partially depend on the binding of ADP to its receptor. Autoradiogram of the gel obtained by SDS-PAGE of solubilized platelets modified by [14C]-NBD-CI showed the presence of a predominant radiolabeled protein band at 100 kDa corresponding to aggregin, a putative ADP receptor. The intensity of this band was considerably decreased when platelets were either preincubated with ADP and ATP or covalently modified by a sulfhydryl group modifying reagent before modification by [14C]-NBD-CI. These results (1) indicate that covalent modification of aggregin by NBD-CI contributed to loss of the ADP-induced platelet responses, and (2) suggest that there is a sulfhydryl group in the ADP-binding domain of aggregin.

The kinetics of nucleotide binding and phosphoryl group transfer were measured in the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase using stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy and an acrylodan-labeled derivative of this enzyme, which we have previously shown to have kinetic properties similar to those for the wild-type enzyme (Lew et al., 1996). The fluorescence emission spectrum of this enzyme is quenched differentially by ATP and ADP so that both the binding of ligands and phosphoryl group transfer at the active site can be monitored selectively. The association and dissociation rate constants for both nucleotides were measured using two methods: relaxation and competition binding. The ratio of the observed dissociation and association rate constants by both methods are consistent with Kd measurements (25 microM) determined by equilibrium fluorescence quenching. The dissociation rate constant for ADP (100 s(-1)) is approximately 2.5-fold larger than k(cat) (39 s(-1)). A full viscosity effect was measured for k(cat), suggesting that a diffusive step or steps limit maximum turnover. Pre-steady-state kinetic transients are biphasic and were fitted to observed rate constants of 500 s(-1) and 60 s(-1) at 500 microM Kemptide (LRRASLG). Metal substitution studies (Mg2+ vs Mn2+) indicate that this first phase represents the phosphoryl group transfer step. Phosphopeptide release is faster than this second phase since the substrate is in rapid exchange with the enzyme and phosphorylation reduces the affinity of the peptide. The inability to assign this second phase to the chemical event or to product release implies that it reflects a viscosity-sensitive, protein conformational change that occurs after phosphoryl group transfer and prior to product release. Two conformational steps were detected in the binding of both ATP and ADP by relaxation methods that may be related to this second pre-steady-state kinetic phase. We suggest that this additional step in the kinetic mechanism may also occur in the wild-type enzyme and represents a large structural change in the enzyme during normal catalytic cycling.

The effect on human platelets of 2-(1-piperazinyl)-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimi din-4-one (AP155) was tested in vitro by measuring cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) level, cytosolic Ca++, [(125I)]fibrinogen binding as well as aggregation induced by several agonists. AP155 dose-dependently inhibited aggregation both in platelet rich plasma (PRP) and in washed platelets (WP), exerting its maximal power in the presence of collagen, ADP and platelet activating factor (PAF). It specifically inhibited the activity of cAMP high affinity phosphodiesterase (PDE), resulting in a sufficient increase in cAMP levels to activate cAMP-dependent protein kinase. AP155 was able to inhibit aggregation, the increase in cytosolic Ca++ induced by thrombin, and fibrinogen binding to ADP or thrombin-stimulated platelets. Thus, this new pyridopyrimidine derivative exerts its antiplatelet activity by increasing cAMP intracellular concentration.

Pre-steady-state kinetic analyses of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase showed that the rate constant for phosphoryl transfer is fast and either the release of one or both of the products or a conformational change controls turnover [Grant, B., & Adams, J. A. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 2022-2029]. To determine which step or steps control turnover in the wild-type enzyme, we used a catalytic trapping technique to measure directly the dissociation rate constant for ADP. The phosphorylation of two peptide substrates, LRRASLG and GRTGRRNSI, was monitored using a rapid quench flow technique under conditions where saturating concentrations of ADP were preequilibrated with the enzyme before excess ATP and one of the substrates were added to trap the free enzyme and to start the phosphorylation reaction. Under ADP preequilibration conditions, no 'burst' phase was observed, and although the rate of linear, steady-state turnover was unaffected, the net production of phosphopeptide lagged behind the non-preequilibrated control. This phenomenon occurs due to the slow release of the product, and kinetic modeling suggests that this effect can be explained if the dissociation rate constant for ADP is 24 s-1 and solely limits turnover (kcat = 23 s-1) for the phosphorylation of LRRASLG. Using GRTGRRNSI, the dissociation rate constant for ADP is 35 s-1 and limits turnover (kcat = 29 s-1) if the reaction is initiated by the addition of enzyme. Under preequilibration conditions with either ATP or GRTGRRNSI, turnover is approximately 50% lower, suggesting that ADP release may partially control this parameter. This preequilibration effect can be explained by slowly interconverting enzyme forms with specific peptide-induced turnover properties. These studies indicate that ADP release is an essential rate-limiting component for turnover but also suggests that other factors contribute subtly when the structure of the substrate is altered.

Interaction of intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and cAMP signaling mechanisms was examined in intact single megakaryocytes by using a combination of single-cell fluorescence microscopy to measure [Ca2+]i and flash photolysis of caged Ca2+, inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3), or cAMP to elevate rapidly the concentration of these compounds inside the cell. Photolysis of caged IP3 stimulated Ca2+ release from an IP3-sensitive store. The cAMP-elevating agent carbacyclin inhibited this IP3-induced rise in [Ca2+]i but did not affect the rate of Ca2+ removal from the cytoplasm after photolysis of caged Ca2+. Photolysis of caged cAMP during ADP-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations caused the [Ca2+]i oscillation to transiently cease without affecting the rate of Ca2+ uptake and/or extrusion. We conclude that the principal mechanism of cAMP-dependent inhibition of Ca2+ mobilization in megakaryocytes appears to be by inhibition of IP3-induced Ca2+ release and not by stimulation of Ca2+ removal from the cytoplasm. Two inhibitors of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a specific peptide inhibitor of the catalytic subunit of cAMP protein kinase and KT5720, blocked the inhibitory effect of carbacyclin, indicating that the inhibition of IP3-induced Ca2+-release by carbacyclin is mediated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase.
