We have studied the effects of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase on the phosphorylative and functional modification of bovine adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase. Incubation of partially purified tyrosine hydroxylase with cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the presence of [gamma32P]ATP and 5 micron cAMP led to a 3- to 5-fold activation of tyrosine hydroxylase and to incorporation of [32P]phosphate into protein. When tyrosine hydroxylase preparations activated by exposure to enzymatic phosphorylating conditions were analyzed by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and gel electrofocusing, the radioactivity of 32P was coincident with the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase, suggesting incorporation of 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP into tyrosine hydroxylase. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the phosphorylated tyrosine hydroxylase preparation in the presence of 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed that the 60,000-dalton polypeptide subunit of tyrosine hydroxylase served as the phosphate acceptor.

1, 8-Disubstituted derivatives of adenosine cyclic 3', 5'-phosphate (cAMP) were synthesized by N-oxidation or N-methylation of previously reported 8-substituted cAMP derivatives to yield 8-bromoadenosine cyclic 3', 5'-phosphate 1-oxide and 8-(benzylthio)-1-methyladenosine cyclic 3', 5'-phosphate. Substituents were introduced into the 8 position of 2-methyladenosine cyclic 3', 5'-phosphate and 2-butyladenosine cyclic 3', 5'-phosphate by bromination, followed by treatment with sodium benzylmercaptide, sodium p-chlorothiophenolate, or, in the former case, sodium azide. Each of the 1,8- and 2,8-disubstituted derivatives of cAMP was tested as activators of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and as substrates for the inhibitors of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases. Depending on the substitutions, examples were found where the disubstituted derivatives were either more active, equally as active or less active than the monosubstituted parent compounds as protein kinase activators. For the compounds reported, 8-substitution completely or substantially eliminated the ability of 1- or 2-substituted derivatives of cAMP to serve as substrates for phosphodiesterase and diminished the ability of these latter derivatives to inhibit cAMP hydrolysis.

1. Giant fibres of the barnacle Balanus nubilus have been used as a preparation for studying the mode of action of cAMP on sodium transport. 2. It is shown that a concentration of cAMP as low as 10(-6)M, when micro-injected, causes a sharp rise in the radio-Na efflux. Ouabain fails to reverse the cAMP effect. 3. The magnitude of the response of the Na efflux to cAMP is markedly reduced by pre-injecting 100 or 500 mM-EGTA solutions or by omitting Ca2+ from the bathing medium. Both together fail to bring about a greater reduction in the response. 4. The response to cAMP is greatly reduced by pre-injecting the protein inhibitor of Walsh and practically abolished by pre-injecting 500 mM-EGTA and soaking in Ca-free artificial sea water, ASW. 5. The Ca2+-independent component of the Na efflux which is also stimulated by cAMP is shown to involve Na for H exchange. The magnitude of this exchange is governed by external pH. 6. The Na efflux into Ca2+-free, Li+-ASW is shown to be markedly stimulated by injecting cAMP, an effect which is enhanced by reducing external pH. 7. The Na efflux at 0 degrees C is stimulated by injecting cAMP. This is shown to be related to activation of the protein kinase by cAMP and to depend on the presence of external Ca2+. 8 (i) Ethacrynic acid when injected reduces the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux into HEPES-Ca2+-free ASW at pH 6-3. These same fibres show a marked response to cAMP. (II) The ouabain-insensitive Na efflux into HCO3-, Ca2+-free ASW from fibres pre-treated with ethacrynic acid fails to respond to external acidification. This is interpreted as indicating that ethacrynic acid inactivates the CO2-sensitive adenyl cyclase system. These same fibres when injected with cAMP show a marked response. (iii) Stimulation of the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux into HCO-3, Ca2+-free ASW by external acidification is reversed by injecting ethacrynic acid. These fibres when injected with cAMP show a reduced response. 9. It is concluded that: (i) stimulation of the Na efflux by injected cAMP is mainly due to activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase; (ii) the underlying exchange mechanism consists of Na:Ca and Na:H exchange. Interaction of Ca2+ with a phosphorylated membrane, thereby modifying permeability remains as a real possibility; (iii) the site of action of CO2 and ethacrynic acid is the adenyl cyclase system. 10. The implications of activation of the adenyl cyclase system by CO2 and Na:H exchange are briefly touched upon.

Incubation of purified cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophospate-dependent protein kinase with [gamma-32P]ATP and Mg2+ led to formation of one 32P-labeled protein, Mr = 75,000, which corresponded to the single protein band detected after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. When electrophoresis was performed without detergent, the labeled protein coincided with the position of cGMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Phosphorylation was enhanced severalfold by either histone or cAMP and was inhibited by the addition of cGMP. Low concentrations of cGMP blocked the stimulatory effects of cAMP or histone (or both). Since neither cAMP-dependent protein kinase nor cGMP-dependent phosphoprotein phosphatase activities were detected in the purified enzyme, we concluded that the cGMP-dependent protein kinase is a substrate for its own phosphotransferase activity and that other protein substrates (histone) and cyclic nucleotides modulate the process of self-phosphorylation.

Two protein bands, present in cytosol fractions from each of seven rat tissues examined, specifically incorporated 32P-labeled 8-azidoadenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (8-N3-[32P]cAMP), a photoaffinity label for cAMP-binding sites. These proteins had apparent molecular weights of 47,000 and 54,000 on a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system. These two proteins were characterized in three of the tissues, namely, heart, uterus, and liver, by the total amount of 8-N3-[32P]cAMP incorporation, by the dissociation constant (Kd) for 8-N3-[32P]cAMP, and by the nucleotide specific inhibition of 8-N3-[32P]cAMP incorporation. Several lines of evidence were obtained that the protein with an apparent molecular weight of 47,000 represents the regulatory subunit of a type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase, while the protein with an apparent molecular weight of 54,000 represents the regulatory subunit of a type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Almost all of the cAMP receptor protein found in the cytosol of these tissues, as measured by 8-N3-[32P]cAMP incorporation, was associated with these two protein kinases, in agreement with the idea that most effects of cAMP are mediated through protein kinases. The photoaffinity labeling with 8-N3-[32P]cAMP can be used to estimate quantitatively the amounts of regulatory subunit of type I and type II cAMP-dependent protein kinases in various tissues.

The recently discovered heat-stable inhibitor protein of the Ca2+-activated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (Sharma, R. K., Wirch, E. & Warg, J. H. (1978) J. Biol. Chem., in press) has been purified 238 214-fold from bovine brain extract using an affinity column of the modulator protein--Sepharose 4B conjugate. The purified sample appears to be homogeneous as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) gel electrophoresis. The protein band has a mobility corresponding to that of a polypeptide of molecular weight 68 000. Since the heat-stable inhibitor protein has a molecular weight of 70 000 under nondenaturing conditions, it suggests that it is a monomeric protein. The protein has no inhibitory activity toward the cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein phosphatase. The purified sample has been tested for various enzyme activities which include ATPase, GTPase, cAMP phosphodiesterase, cGMP phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotidase, and protein kinase. None of these activities are exhibited by the purified sample.

We describe the purification to apparent homogeneity of a protein kinase (designated AUT-PK 85) from adrenocortical carcinoma 494, as evidenced by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme binds cyclic AMP (cAMP) and autophosphorylates but does not use histone, casein, or polysomes as substrates in the presence or absence of cAMP. Stoichiometry of phosphate incorporation was 0.71 mol/mol of enzyme. The enzyme was found to have a molecular weight of 85,000 based on gel filtration. The protein was composed of polypeptides having the same molecular weight 42,000, and thus it appears to consist of two subunits of equal size. The enzyme bound two cAMP molecules, indicating that each subunit binds one molecule of cAMP. The homogeneous enzyme did not inhibit the protein kinase activity of the free catalytic subunit of normal adrenal cAMP-dependent protein kinase under conditions such that recombination with the free regulatory subunit occurred. cAMP bound specifically to the enzyme with an apparent dissociation constant (cfKd) of 1.2 X 10(-8) M. Scatchard plot data indicated one type of binding sites for cAMP. The enzyme did not bind adenosine. This novel autophosphorylating, cAMP-binding, protein kinase may be a characteristic of certain adrenal neoplasms.

The photoaffinity label 8-azido[32P]adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (8-azido-cyclic [32P]AMP) was used to analyze both the cAMP-binding component of the purified cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and the cAMP-binding proteins present in crude tissue extracts of bovine cardiac muscle. 8-Azido-cyclic [32P]AMP reacted specifically and in stoichiometric amounts with the cAMP-binding proteins of bovine cardiac muscle. Upon phosphorylation, the purified cAMP-binding protein from bovine cardiac muscle changed its electrophoretic mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels from an apparent molecular weight of 54,000 to an apparent molecular weight of 56,000. In tissue extracts of bovine cardiac muscle, most of the 8-azido-cyclic [32P]AMP was incorporated into a protein band with an apparent molecular weight of 56,000 which shifted to 54,000 upon treatment with a phosphoprotein phosphatase. Thus a substantial amount of the cAMP-binding protein appeared to be in the phosphorylated form. Autoradiograms following sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of both the pure and impure cAMP-binding proteins labeled with 8-azido-cyclic [32P]AMP revealed another binding component with a molecular weight of 52,000 which incorporated 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP without changing its electrophoretic mobility. Limited proteolysis of the 56,000- and 52,000-dalton proteins labeled with 32P from either [gamma-32P]ATP.Mg2+ or 8-azido-cyclic [32P]AMP showed patterns indicating homology. On the other hand, peptide maps of the major 8-azido-cyclic [32P]AMP-labeled proteins from tissue extracts of bovine cardiac muscle (Mr = 56,000) and rabbit skeletal muscle (Mr = 48,000) displayed completely different patterns as expected for the cAMP-binding components of types II and I protein kinases. Both phospho- and dephospho-cAMP-binding components from the purified bovine cardiac muscle protein kinase were also resolved by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide slab gels containing 8 M urea. The phosphorylated forms labeled with 32P from either [gamma-32P]ATP or 8-azido-cyclic [32P]AMP migrated as a doublet with a pI of 5.35. The 8-azido-cyclic [32P]AMP-labeled dephosphorylated form also migrated as a doublet with a pI of 5.40. The phosphorylated and dephosphorylated cAMP-binding proteins migrated with molecular weights of 56,000 and 54,000, respectively, following a second dimension electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. The lower molecular weight cAMP-binding component (Mr = 52,000) was also apparent in these gels. Similar experiments with the cAMP-binding proteins present in tissue extracts of bovine cardiac muscle indicate that they are predominantly in the phosphorylated form.

The subcellular distribution of Proteins Ia and Ib, two proteins which serve as specific substrates for protein kinases present in mammalian brain, was studied in the dog cerebral cortex. Proteins Ia and Ib were found to be most highly enriched in synaptic vesicle fractions; they were also present in postsynaptic density and synaptic membrane fractions in significant amounts. Proteins Ia and Ib present in the synaptic vesicle fraction appear to be similar, if not identical, to those present in the postsynaptic density fraction as judged by several criteria: (a) the ability to serve as substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase, (b) electrophoretic mobility in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, (c) extractability with NH4Cl or EGTA, and (d) fragmentation to electrophoretically similar peptides by a purified Staphylococcus aureus protease. In addition, the postsynaptic density fraction has been found to contain cAMP-dependent Protein Ia and Protein Ib kinase activity. The subcellular localization of Proteins Ia and Ib suggests a role for these proteins in the physiology of the synapse.

The paradigm that nucleocytoplasmic transport of ions occurs without a diffusional barrier has been challenged by the recent demonstration with patch-clamp techniques of the existence of ion channels in the nuclear envelope of murine zygotes and hepatocytes. This report demonstrates the existence of nuclear ion channels (NIC) in murine ventricular cardiac myocytes. NIC conductance (gamma), calculated from current histogram peaks, was 106-532 pS at 22-36 degrees C. In nucleus-attached patches, replacement of cytoplasmic K+ with Na+ reduced NIC activity within 30 s, suggesting that intranuclear-delimited mechanisms mediate this phenomenon. In excised, inside-out patches K+ was as permeable as Na+ through NIC. NIC activity was observed in 0-4 mM Mg2+ and/or ATP2-, with or without 0-1 mM Ca2+, indicating a minor direct role of these ions. However, in non-responsive excised inside-out patches, NIC activity appeared when the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase was applied to the nucleoplasmic side of the patch, in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP2-, indicating an important role for phosphorylation-dependent process(es) in NIC function--an observation supported by the depressing effects of protein kinase inhibitor on responsive NIC. The concept that nucleopore complexes are solely responsible for nucleocytoplamic transport leads to the speculation that these structures are the physical substrate for NIC.
