Protein kinase activity (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) has been found associated with the D2 hybrid protein, a highly purified protein of 107,000 daltons specified by the adenovirus-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid Ad2(+)D2, which has many properties associated with authentic SV40 T antigen [Tjian, R. & Robbins, A. (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76, 610-614]. We have now examined some of the biochemical characteristics of the reaction products. Acceptors for the terminal phosphoryl group of [gamma-(32)P]ATP are the purified protein itself and at least four proteins extracted from nuclei of uninfected cells. Purified histones do not serve as substrate for the enzyme. Phosphorylation is markedly reduced by heating the D2 hybrid protein to 50 degrees C for 30 min. The products of phosphorylation are stable to treatment with ethanol/ether, DNase, and RNase, but completely degraded by digestion with Pronase, demonstrating their protein nature. The phosphate bonds are liable to hot alkali and sensitive to digestion with alkaline phosphatase but stable to treatment with hot acid or hydroxylamine. These results provide evidence that (32)P is incorporated into O-phosphoserine or O-phosphothreonine residues of acceptor proteins, indicating that the enzymatic activity is characteristic for protein kinase, and that cell-specified nuclear proteins other than histones may serve as substrates for the enzyme.

The Ca2+ ATPase of heart sarcolemma was stimulated by the exposure of sarcolemma vesicles to ATP and the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The effect of the phosphorylation system was primarily on the Km(Ca2+) of the pumping ATPase. The ATPase purified from heart sarcolemma or erythrocytes became phosphorylated under the conditions mentioned above. Hydroxylamine treatment of the labeled ATPase has shown that the phosphorylation was additive to be acylphosphate formed on the ATPase during the reaction cycle. The stoichiometry of the kinase-promoted phosphorylation (i.e. the fraction of the ATPase molecules that became labeled) approached 30% with both the heart and the erythrocyte enzyme.

The effect of cAMP-dependent protein kinase on calcium uptake and protein phosphorylation in bovine aortic microsomes was examined. Acid gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the aortic microsomes contained a Ca2+-dependent, hydroxylamine-sensitive phosphoenzyme (Mr 110 kDa), characteristic of the calcium pump in sarcoplasmic reticulum, but showed no evidence of a sarcolemmal calcium pump. Calcium uptake by these aortic vesicles was markedly stimulated by oxalate, whereas calcium uptake by canine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles was oxalate-independent. Both cAMP plus protein kinase (cAMP-PK) and catalytic subunit of protein kinase stimulated oxalate-supported calcium uptake by bovine aortic microsomes 23 +/- 3% (P less than 0.05) at 0.3 microM Ca2+, but had no effect at 6 to 10 microM Ca2+. Catalytic subunit of protein kinase and cAMP-PK phosphorylated an 11 kDa protein in bovine aortic microsomes which comigrated with canine cardiac phospholamban after boiling in sodium dodecylsulfate. The stoichiometry of the aortic 11 kDa phosphoprotein to 110 kDa phosphoenzyme was approximately 1:1. These data are consistent with the recent identification of phospholamban in various smooth muscles, and suggest that cAMP-mediated vascular relaxation may in part be attributable to stimulation of calcium uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Calcium-accumulating vesicles were isolated by differential centrifugation of sonicated platelets. Such vesicles exhibit a (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity of about 10 nmol (min . mg)-1 and an ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake of about 10 nmol (min . mg)-1. When incubated in the presence of Mg[gamma-32P]ATP, the pump is phosphorylated and the acyl phosphate bond is sensitive to hydroxylamine. The [32P]phosphate-labeled Ca2+ pump exhibits a subunit molecular weight of 120 000 when analyzed by lithium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Platelet calcium-accumulating vesicles contain a 23 kDa membrane protein that is phosphorylatable by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase but not by protein kinase C. This phosphate acceptor is not phosphorylated when the vesicles are incubated in the presence of either Ca2+ or Ca2+ plus calmodulin. The latter protein is bound to the vesicles and represents 0.5% of the proteins present in the membrane fraction. Binding of 125I-labeled calmodulin to this membrane fraction was of high affinity (16 nM), and the use of an overlay technique revealed four major calmodulin-binding proteins in the platelet cytosol (Mr = 94 000, 87 000, 60 000 and 43 000). Some minor calmodulin-binding proteins were enriched in the membrane fractions (Mr = 69 000, 57 000, 39 000 and 37 000). When the vesicles are phosphorylated in the presence of MgATP and of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the rate of Ca2+ uptake is essentially unaltered, while the Ca2+ capacity is diminished as a consequence of a doubling in the rate of Ca2+ efflux. Therefore, the inhibitory effect of cAMP on platelet function cannot be explained in such simple terms as an increased rate of Ca2+ removal from the cytosol. Calmodulin, on the other hand, was observed to have no effect on the initial rate of calcium efflux when added either in the absence or in the presence of the catalytic subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, nor did the addition of 0.5 microM calmodulin result in increased levels of vesicle phosphorylation.

The aim of the present study was to prove a correlation between the calmodulin-dependent increase in the rate of calcium transport by dog cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation. The dependence of phosphorylation on the total calmodulin concentration at 75 microM and 1 microM free calcium gave apparent calmodulin half-saturation constants Km (CaM) of 9.4 nM and 181 nM, respectively, whilst the apparent Km (CaM) for the rate of calmodulin-stimulated calcium transport carried out at 1 microM calcium, but phosphorylated prior to the calcium uptake at 75 microM or 1 microM calcium, were 12.5 nM and 127 nM, respectively. A positive correlation was obtained between calmodulin-dependent increase in the rate of calcium transport and hydroxylamine-insensitive phosphoester formed by the calcium/calmodulin-regulated, membrane-bound protein kinase. More than 90% of incorporated [32P]phosphate is confined to a 26-28-kDa or 9-11-kDa protein as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis following solubilization in sodium dodecyl sulfate at 37 degrees C and at 100 degrees C, respectively, similar to the results obtained by phosphorylation with cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The data indicate that calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of the above protein(s) is causally related to the stimulation of the rate of calcium transport by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is at least partially due to a shift in the calcium dependence of the rate of calcium transport to lower free calcium concentrations, K(Ca), of 1.25 microM and 0.61 microM in controls and calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation, respectively. Activation of calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation by free calcium at total calmodulin concentrations of 300 nM, 100 nM and 30 nM gave apparent K(Ca) values of 0.83 microM, 1.44 microM and 2.3 microM and Hill coefficients of 4.13, 3.76 and 3.79, respectively, indicating that all four calcium binding sites of calmodulin have to be saturated to obtain activation of the calcium/calmodulin-regulated protein kinase. The calmodulin-dependent modulation of calcium transport in vivo is, therefore, determined to great extent by the total calmodulin concentration present in the sarcoplasm.
