Protein phosphatase T from rat liver, so termed due to its activity toward [32P-Thr]casein and its marked preference for the phosphopeptide Arg-Arg-Ala-Thr(P)-Val-Ala over its phosphoseryl derivative (Donella Deana, A., Marchiori, F., Meggio, F. and Pinna, L.A. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 8565-8568), is shown here to belong to the family of type 2A protein phosphatase according to Cohen's nomenclature (Ingebritsen, T.S. and Cohen, P. (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 132, 255-261). In particular, protein phosphatase T is endowed with phosphorylase phosphatase activity that is stimulated by protamine, histone H1 and heparin, it is inhibited by spermine, it does not bind to heparin-Sepharose and it readily dephosphorylates the phosphopeptide Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser reproducing the phosphorylation site of the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase. The Mr of protein phosphatase T determined by gel filtration under non-denaturating conditions is about 150 kDa and its activity ratio toward histone H1 phosphorylated by protein kinase C versus histone H1 phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase is unusually high. Some properties of protein phosphatase T, such as its weak binding to DEAE-cellulose and its high stimulation by protamine as compared to a relatively poor stimulation by histone H1, suggest that it may be similar to subtype 2Ao of protein phosphatase 2A.

A brush-border membranal proteinase, which specifically clips the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, is shown to cleave the receptor for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) (Mr = 170,000) into two fragments of Mr = 140,000 and 30,000. The 140-kDa fragment retains its EGF-binding site and its EGF-dependent protein tyrosine kinase activity on exogenous substrates, but it loses its capacity to undergo self-phosphorylation. It is shown to be distinct from the 150-kDa fragment of the EGF receptor obtained by the Ca2+-activated neutral proteinase. The membranal proteinase strictly recognizes the native structure of the receptor and fails to cleave either the denatured receptor or its 150-kDa degradation product. Thus the membranal proteinase acts as a conformation-recognizing probe for both the protein-tyrosine kinase domain of the EGF receptor and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein-Ser/Thr kinase, suggesting that the known sequence homology between these two kinases is also reflected in their conformation. The well defined 140-kDa fragment described here is useful for structure-function studies of the EGF receptor.

cDNAs coding for a plasma membrane Ca2+ pump were isolated from a human teratoma library and sequenced. The translated sequence contained 1,220 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 134,683. All regions of functional importance known from other ion-transporting ATPases could be identified. The translated sequence also contained, near the carboxyl terminus, the calmodulin-binding domain and two domains which are very rich in glutamic acid and aspartic acid. These two domains resemble calmodulin somewhat and one of them may play a role in the binding of Ca2+. The enzyme also contains domains rich in serine and threonine, one of which has a sequence matching those of good cAMP-dependent protein kinase substrates. The carboxyl-terminal region is important for regulation by calmodulin, proteolysis, and phosphorylation. Near the amino terminus are two domains which are very rich in lysine and glutamic acid, as well as two domains resembling EF hands, one of which also has some resemblance to calmodulin. Comparison of the cloned sequence with peptide sequences from the erythrocyte Ca2+ pump showed that the two proteins have a very high proportion of identical residues but are not 100% identical, indicating that they represent different isozymes.

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.

Phosphorylation of pure fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase:fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from bovine heart by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C was investigated. The major enzyme form (subunit Mr of 58,000) was rapidly phosphorylated by both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C, incorporating 0.8 and 1.0 mol/mol of subunit, respectively. The rate of phosphorylation of the heart enzyme by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was 10 times faster than that of the rat liver enzyme. The minor enzyme (subunit Mr of 54,000), however, was phosphorylated only by protein kinase C and was phosphorylated much more slowly with a phosphate incorporation of less than 0.1 mol/mol of subunit. Phosphorylation by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase C activated the enzyme, but each phosphorylation affected different kinetic parameters. Phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase lowered the Km value for fructose 6-phosphate from 87 to 42 microM without affecting the Vmax, whereas the phosphorylation by protein kinase C increased the Vmax value from 55 to 85 milliunits/mg without altering the Km value. The phosphorylated peptides were isolated, and their amino acid sequences were determined. The phosphorylation sites for both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C were located in a single peptide whose sequence was Arg-Arg-Asn-Ser-(P)-Phe-Thr-Pro-Leu-Ser-Ser-Ser-Asn-Thr(P)-Ile-Arg-Arg-Pro. The seryl residue nearest the N terminus was the residue specifically phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, whereas the threonine residue nearest the C terminus was phosphorylated by protein kinase C.

Dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels exist in many different types of cells and are believed to be regulated by various protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions. The present study concerns the phosphorylation of a putative component of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels by the calcium and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C. A skeletal muscle peptide of 165 kDa, which is known to contain receptors for dihydropyridines, phenylalkylamines, and other Ca2+ channel effectors, was found to be an efficient substrate for protein kinase C when the peptide was phosphorylated in its membrane-bound state. Protein kinase C incorporated 1.5-2.0 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide within 2 min into the 165-kDa peptide in incubations carried out at 37 degrees C. In contrast to the membrane-bound peptide, the purified 165-kDa peptide in detergent solution was phosphorylated to a markedly less extent than its membrane-bound counterpart; less than 0.1 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide was incorporated. Preincubation of the membranes with several types of drugs known to be Ca2+ channel activators or inhibitors had no specific effects on the rate and/or extent of phosphorylation of the 165-kDa peptide by protein kinase C. The phosphorylation of the membrane-bound 165-kDa peptide by protein kinase C was compared to that catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and was found to be not additive. Prior phosphorylation of the 165-kDa peptide by cAMP-dependent protein kinase prevented subsequent phosphorylation of the peptide by protein kinase C. Phosphoamino acid analysis indicated that protein kinase C phosphorylated the 165-kDa peptide at both serine and threonine residues. Phosphopeptide mapping experiments showed that protein kinase C phosphorylated one unique site in the 165-kDa peptide, and, in addition, other sites that were phosphorylated by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or a multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. The results suggest that the 165-kDa dihydropyridine/phenylalkylamine receptor could serve as a physiological substrate of protein kinase C in intact cells. It is therefore possible that the regulation of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels by activators of protein kinase C may occur at the level of this peptide.

The gene for a new Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein kinase was identified and isolated by hybridization to a cloned cDNA for the catalytic subunit of bovine cAMP-dependent protein kinase. This newly isolated yeast gene encodes a 680-amino-acid protein that shows strong sequence similarity to several serine/threonine protein kinases. The protein kinase catalytic domain is located at the carboxy-terminal portion of the protein. A large, amino-terminal domain shows no sequence similarity to any known protein kinase. It seems likely that the amino-terminal domain mediates the effects of an unknown regulator of the newly identified yeast protein kinase.

Purified testicular and ovarian luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) receptors are phosphorylated at serine and threonine residues by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A). Occupancy of the receptors by hCG significantly increased the rate but not the extent of phosphorylation. However, prolonged preincubation of receptors with hCG reduced the subsequent rate of receptor phosphorylation. Identical phosphopeptide maps were obtained for the phosphorylated ovarian and testicular receptors. The phosphorylated receptor, like the native receptor, bound to wheat germ lectin and hCG-Sepharose and migrated as a single band of Mr 90,000 (testis) and Mr 85,000 (ovary) on NaDodSO4/PAGE. Neuraminidase treatment of receptors caused reductions of molecular weight to 82,000 (testis) and 77,000 (ovary), and further treatment with O-Glycanase had minimal effect on molecular size. However, deglycosylation with N-Glycosidase and endoglycosidase F produced a single labeled polypeptide of Mr 59,000 for both gonadal receptors. Treatment of native receptors with neuraminidase caused no apparent change in binding of gonadotropin to blotted receptors, whereas deglycosylated receptors showed a major reduction in hormone binding. These results indicate that luteinizing hormone/hCG receptors are sialoglycoproteins with predominantly N-linked glycosyl residues that account for the size difference between testicular and ovarian receptors and that may participate in the interaction with gonadotropin. Receptor occupancy by agonist leads to a conformational change that facilitates its phosphorylation during initial binding and reduces the rate of phosphorylation after more prolonged exposure to hCG.

Mixed synthetic oligonucleotides encoding sequences conserved among tyrosine-specific protein kinases were used to probe the genome of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two genes with homology to protein kinases were isolated and characterized by DNA sequence analysis. These genes, designated KIN1 and KIN2, are closely related to each other. Among previously characterized protein kinases, the products of KIN1 and KIN2 are most closely related to the bovine cAMP-dependent protein kinase (30% amino acid identities) and the protein encoded by the v-src oncogene (27% and 25% identities with KIN1 and KIN2, respectively) within their putative kinase domains. KIN1 and KIN2 are transcribed into 3.5-kilobase mRNAs that contain uninterrupted open reading frames encoding polypeptides of 117 kDa and 126 kDa, respectively. The predicted proteins are unusual in two respects: (i) their catalytic domains are carried near the N termini of relatively large proteins, in contrast to the majority of characterized protein kinases, and (ii) these catalytic domains are structural mosaics, with some features characteristic of tyrosine-specific protein kinases and other elements that are distinctive of serine/threonine-specific enzymes.

Insulin caused a rapid, dose-dependent increase in the binding of 125I-insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) to the surface of cultured H-35 hepatoma cells. The [32P]phosphate content of the IGF-II receptors, immunoprecipitated from extracts of H-35 cell monolayers previously incubated with [32P]phosphate for 24 h, was decreased after brief exposure of the cells to insulin. Analysis of tryptic digests of labeled IGF-II receptors by bidimensional peptide mapping revealed that the decrease in the content of [32P]phosphate occurred to varying degrees on three tryptic phosphopeptides. Thin layer electrophoresis of an acid hydrolysate of isolated IGF-II receptors revealed the presence of [32P] phosphoserine and [32P]phosphothreonine. Insulin treatment of cells caused a decrease in the labeled phosphoserine and phosphothreonine content of IGF-II receptors. The ability of a number of highly purified protein kinases (cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, phosphorylase kinase, and casein kinase II) to catalyze the phosphorylation of purified IGF-II receptors was examined. Casein kinase II was the only kinase capable of catalyzing the phosphorylation of the IGF-II receptor on serine and threonine residues under the conditions of our assay. Bidimensional peptide mapping revealed that the kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of the IGF-II receptor on a tryptic phosphopeptide which comigrated with the main tryptic phosphopeptide found in receptors obtained from cells labeled in vivo with [32P]phosphate. IGF-II receptors isolated by immunoadsorption from insulin-treated H-35 cells were phosphorylated in vitro by casein kinase II to a greater extent than the receptors isolated from control cells. Similarly, IGF-II receptors from plasma membranes obtained from insulin-treated adipocytes were phosphorylated by casein kinase II to a greater extent than the receptors from control adipocyte plasma membranes. Thus, the insulin-regulated phosphorylation sites on the IGF-II receptor appear to serve as substrates in vivo for casein kinase II or an enzyme with similar substrate specificity.
