The photoaffinity reagent 8-azidoadenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (8-N3cAMP) was previously shown to modify a single tyrosine residue on the type II regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (Kerlavage, A.R., and Taylor, S.S. (1980) J. Biol. Chem, 255, 8483-8488). In the present studies, the binding stoichiometries of type II holoenzyme for cAMP and 8-N3cAMP were determined using Millipore filtration assays in the absence (Assay A) and presence (Assay B) of 2 M NaCl and histone. The binding stoichiometry of holoenzyme for cAMP was 2 mol/mol with Assay A, and 4 mol/mol with assay B. The binding stoichiometry for 8-N3cAMP was 2 mol/mol with Assay B or with Assay A following photolysis of the holoenzyme:8-N3cAMP mixture. In the absence of photolysis, the binding stoichiometry for 8-N3cAMP was 0.4 mol/mol with Assay A. Both 8-N3cAMP and cAMP fully dissociated the holoenzyme. Holoenzyme, labeled with 8-N3[3H]cAMP on a preparative scale, incorporated 1 mol of 8-N3[3H]cAMP/mol of regulatory subunit (RII) monomer. The labeled RII was separated from catalytic subunit, cleaved with cyanogen bromide, and the resultant peptides were separated by high performance liquid chromatography. A single radioactive peptide was observed which had the same NH2 terminal residue and amino acid composition as the peptide obtained when dissociated RII was labeled with 8-N3cAMP.

The complete amino acid sequence of the regulatory subunit of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine cardiac muscle is presented. Primary fragments for the sequence determination were obtained by limited proteolysis with various proteases or by cleavage with cyanogen bromide. The sequence of the 400 amino acid residues has two homologous regions, strongly suggesting tandem gene duplication. The predicted secondary structure suggests the presence of 42% alpha-helix, 23% beta-strand, and 23 beta-turns. The molecular weight of the subunit, as derived from the sequence, is 45,084 including a phosphate group at residue 95. This is significantly less than earlier estimates based on NaDodSO4 gel electrophoresis and sedimentation experiments. The structure is discussed in terms of putative sites of interaction with cAMP and with the catalytic subunit.

Bovine cardiac glycogen-free glycogen synthase I reacts with oxidized glutathione at low temperature to partially inactivate the enzyme. Evidence is presented that a mixed disulfide between glutathione and the enzyme is formed in this reaction. A short incubation of the GSSG-treated enzyme with dithiothreitol restores full enzyme activity. The reaction with GSSG is pH dependent and the product is quite stable at neutral pH. Oxidation of one sulfhydryl group in glycogen synthase is associated with a loss of 60-70% of the enzyme activity. Further modification of protein sulfhydryls has less effect on the enzyme activity. Other low molecular weight disulfides also inactivate glycogen synthase and treatment with [35S]cystine to produce a 40% loss of enzyme activity gave rise to a single major radioactive peptide after cyanogen bromide digestion. Thus the GSSG-mediated inactivation of glycogen synthase apparently occurs through a single reactive sulfhydryl group that forms a mixed disulfide with low molecular weight disulfide molecules. Uridine 5'-diphosphate glucose and glycogen prevent the inactivation of glycogen-free glycogen synthase with GSSG, and glucose 6-phosphate retards the rate of inactivation. Reduction and reactivation of the GSSG-oxidized glycogen synthase is not affected by glycogen and it occurs readily at neutral pH with dithiothreitol, mercaptoethanol, or cysteamine. Oxidation of the reactive sulfhydryl group with GSSG has no effect on the rate of glycogen synthase phosphorylation by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) phosphorylated K-casein 20-fold more rapidly than beta-casein, while alpha S1-casein was not a substrate. This distinguished it from casein kinase-I and casein kinase-II, which phosphorylate the beta-casein variant preferentially. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 phosphorylated a serine residue(s) in the C-terminal cyanogen bromide fragment on K-casein. In contrast, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated the N-terminal fragment, and phosphorylase kinase the N-terminal and intermediate cyanogen bromide fragments. The results emphasize the potential value of casein phosphorylation as a means of classifying protein kinases.

The complete amino acid sequence of the regulatory subunit of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine skeletal muscle is presented. The S-carboxymethylated protein was cleaved with cyanogen bromide to provide a complete set of nonoverlapping fragments. These fragments were overlapped and aligned by using peptides generated by proteolytic cleavage. The protein contains 379 amino acid residues corresponding to a molecular weight of 42 804. As in the type II regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a pattern of internal gene duplication is observed, which is consistent with two cAMP-binding domains. The two types of regulatory subunit from type I and type II kinase display similarities in domain substructure and in amino acid sequence, which provide a molecular basis for new insight into their regulatory roles. Detailed analyses of the homology of the regulatory subunits of type I and type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase and of similar relationships to cGMP-dependent protein kinase and Escherichia coli catabolite gene activator protein are presented in accompanying reports from this laboratory [Takio, K., Smith, S. B., Krebs, E. G., Walsh, K., & Titani, K. (1984) Biochemistry (second paper of three in this issue); Takio, K., Wade, R. D., Smith, S. B., Krebs, E. G., Walsh, K. A., & Titani, K. (1984) Biochemistry (third paper of three in this issue)].

This study characterizes the actions of insulin and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the glucose transport system in the rat osteogenic sarcoma cell line UMR 106-01, which expresses a number of features of the osteoblast phenotype. Using [1,2-3H]2-deoxyglucose (2-DOG) as a label, UMR 106-01 cells were shown to possess a glucose transport system which was enhanced by insulin. In contrast, PTH influenced glucose transport in a biphasic manner with a stimulatory effect at 1 h and a more potent inhibitory effect at 16 h on basal and insulin-stimulated 2-DOG transport. To explore the mechanism of PTH action, a direct agonist of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) was tested. 8-Bromo-cAMP had no acute stimulatory effect but inhibited basal and insulin-stimulated 2-DOG transport at 16 h. This result suggested that the prolonged, but not the acute, effect of PTH was mediated by the generation of cAMP. Further studies with the cell line UMR 4-7, a UMR 106-01 clone stably transfected with an inducible mutant inactive regulatory subunit of PKA, confirmed that the inhibitory but not the stimulatory effect of PTH was mediated by the PKA pathway. Northern blot data indicated that the prolonged inhibitory effects of PTH and 8-bromo-cAMP on glucose transport were likely to be mediated in part by reduction in the levels of GLUT1 (HepG2/brain glucose transporter) mRNA.

A previous study showing that ethanol (ETOH) blocked [3H]choline incorporation into phosphatidylcholine (PC) suggested an inhibition of PC biosynthesis in human leukemic monocyte-like U937 cells. The mechanism of the inhibitory action of ETOH was investigated. Cells were pulsed with [3H]choline for 30 min and chased in the presence or absence of ETOH for up to 6 h. PC biosynthesis was inhibited drastically within 1 h after exposure to ETOH which increased intracellular cAMP appreciably. After a 3-h treatment, ETOH significantly inhibited both choline kinase (CK) and the cytosolic CTP: cholinephosphate cytidylyltransferase (CT). The inactivated CT was no longer stimulated by exogenous phosphatidylglycerol (PG). There was no evidence for redistribution of CT activity between cytosol and microsomes. When cells were exposed to 8-Bromo-cAMP ranging from 100 to 300 microM, PC biosynthesis remained unaffected despite the drastically elevated cAMP. These results seem to suggest that the raised cAMP is not a prerequisite for the inhibition of PC biosynthesis in U937 cells. Following pretreatment with protein kinase inhibitors (H-89 and K-252a), PC biosynthesis was decreased significantly and the inhibitory effect of ETOH was potentiated. Taken together, our results suggest that the inhibition of PC biosynthesis and the inhibitory effect of ETOH are independent of the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Unlike protein kinase inhibitors, pretreatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (erbstatin, genistein and tyrphostin 25) resulted in differential effects on PC biosynthesis and on the inhibitory action of ETOH. Genistein stimulated PC biosynthesis by 30 per cent as well as partially preventing/reversing the ETOH action, while tyrphostin 25 produced a synergistic inhibition. The relevance of tyrosine phosphorylation/dephosphorylation to the regulation of PC biosynthesis and ETOH action remains to be established.

The aim of the present study was to determine the phosphorylation of the purified ryanodine receptor-calcium release channel (RyR) of rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-A), cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-G) and Ca(2+)-, CaM-dependent protein kinase (PK-CaM) and the localization of phosphorylation sites. Phosphorylation was highest with PK-A (about 0.9 mol phosphate/mol receptor subunit), between one-half to two-thirds with PK-G and between one-third and more than two-thirds with PK-CaM. Phosphoamino acid analysis revealed solely labeled phosphoserine with PK-A and PK-G and phosphoserine and phosphothreonine with PK-CaM. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of cyanogen bromide/trypsin digests of the phosphorylated RyR (purified by gel permeation HPLC) and two-dimensional peptide maps revealed one major phosphopeptide by PK-A and PK-G phosphorylation and several labeled peaks by PK-CaM phosphorylation. Automated Edman sequence analysis of the major phosphopeptide obtained from PK-A and PK-G phosphorylation and one phosphopeptide obtained from PK-CaM phosphorylation yielded the sequence KISQTAQTYDPR (residues 2841-2852) with serine 2843 as phosphorylation site (corresponding to the consensus sequence RKIS), demonstrating that all three protein kinases phosphorylate the same serine residue in the center of the receptor subunit, a region proposed to contain the modulator binding sites of the calcium release channel.

Acetoxymethyl esters of alkyl or aryl phosphates can be prepared by reacting their trialkylammonium or silver salts with acetoxymethyl bromide. Because acetoxymethyl esters are rapidly cleaved intracellularly, they facilitate the delivery of organophosphates into the cytoplasm without puncturing or disruption of the plasma membrane. In addition, acylation of free hydroxyls, for example with butyryl groups, is useful both for synthetic convenience and increased hydrophobicity of the permeant derivatives. The highly polar intracellular messengers cAMP and cGMP were thus converted into uncharged membrane-permeant derivatives. Extracellularly applied N6,2'-O-dibutyryl cAMP acetoxymethyl ester (Bt2cAMP/AM) is shown to simulate intracellular cAMP in three model systems, namely dissociation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in fibroblasts, activation of Cl- secretion of monolayers of the human colon epithelial cell line T84, and dispersion of pigment granules in angel fish melanophores. Bt2cAMP/AM is effective at concentrations two or three orders of magnitude less than those required for commonly used membrane-permeant cAMP derivatives such as Bt2cAMP, 8-Br-cAMP, and 8-pCPT-cAMP lacking the acetoxymethyl ester. This methodology should be of general utility for the intracellular delivery of phosphate-containing second messengers.

1. Intracellular recordings were used to study the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in modulating GABA-mediated giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs) in immature rat hippocampal CA3 neurones. 2. The mGluR antagonist (RS)-alpha-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (MCPG, 1 mM) reduced the frequency of GDPs. The broad-spectrum ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonist kynurenic acid (1 mM) blocked GDPs. 3. In the presence of kynurenic acid, both tetanic stimulation of the hilus or bath application of quisqualic acid (1 microM) and trans-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (t-ACPD, 20 microM) induced the appearance of GDPs. These effects were antagonized by MCPG (1 mM) or L(+)-2-amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid (L-AP3) and blocked by bicuculline (10 microM). 4. 8-Bromo-cAMP (8-Br-cAMP, 0.3 mM), 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX, 200 microM) or forskolin (30 microM) mimicked the effects of mGluR agonists on GDPs. The forskolin analogue 1,9-dideoxyforskolin (30 microM), which does not activate adenylate cyclase, was ineffective. 5. Incubation of slices in the presence of the protein kinase A inhibitor Rp-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphothioate triethylamine (Rp-cAMPS) (500 microM) or superfusion of Rp-cAMPS (20 microM) prevented the effects of forskolin or t-ACPD on GDPs. In the presence of kynurenic acid, the protein kinase C activator, phorbol 12,13-diacetate (2 microM) induced the appearance of GDPs. This effect was prevented by staurosporine (1 microM). However, staurosporine (1-3 microM) did not modify the effects of t-ACPD on GDPs. 6. It is suggested that, during development, mGluRs enhance the synchronous release of GABA, responsible for GDPs, through cAMP-dependent protein kinase.
