We have investigated the possible role of plasma membrane oxidoreductases in the Ca2+ export mechanisms in rat brain synaptic membranes. Ca2+ efflux in nerve terminals is controlled both by a high-affinity/low capacity Mg-dependent ATP-stimulated Ca2+ pump and by a low affinity/high capacity ATP-independent Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger. Both Ca2+ efflux mechanisms were strongly inhibited by pyridine nucleotides, in the order NADP greater than NAD greater than NADPH greater than NADH with IC50 values of ca. 10 mM for NADP and ca. 3 mM for the other agents in the case of the ATP-driven Ca2+ pump and with IC50 values between 8 and 10 mM for the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger. Oxidizing agents such as DCIP3 and ferricyanide inhibited the ATP-driven Ca2+ efflux mechanism but not the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger. In addition, full activation of plasma membrane oxidoreductases requires both an acceptor and an electron donor; therefore the combined effects of both substrates added together were also studied. When plasma membrane oxidoreductases of the synaptic plasma membrane were activated in the presence of both NADH (or NADPH) and DCIP or ferricyanide, the inhibition of the ATP-driven Ca2+ pump was optimal; by contrast, the pyridine nucleotide-mediated inhibition of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger was partially released when both substrates of the plasma membrane oxidoreductases were present together. Furthermore, the activation of plasma membrane oxidoreductases also strongly inhibited intracellular protein phosphorylation in intact synaptosomes, mediated by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase, Ca2+ calmodulin-dependent protein kinases, or protein kinase C.

The ppd1 mutant of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was isolated as a suppressor of the cyr2 mutation which caused alteration of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Three peaks of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity (peak I, II and III) were identified by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography of crude extracts of the wild-type strain. The ppd1 mutant was deficient in peak III phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. The peak III enzyme efficiently utilized the phosphorylated forms of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase and trehalase as substrate. The ppd1 mutation did not suppress the cyr1, CYR3 or ras1 ras2 mutations. The ppd1 locus was located on chromosome II and had identical characteristics with glc1. The ppd1 mutation suppressed the G1 arrest caused by nutritional limitation, but maintained sensitivity to mating pheromone. In diploids homozygous for the ppd1 mutation, no premeiotic DNA replication and commitment to intragenic recombination occurred and no spores were formed, suggesting that the accumulation of phosphorylated proteins in the absence of one of the phosphoprotein phosphatases is required for mitosis but not for the initiation of meiosis.

Phosphorylase kinase purified from rabbit skeletal muscle was ADP-ribosylated by hen liver nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase. This modification, as was seen in cAMP-dependent phosphorylation, was observed only in alpha and beta subunits of the phosphorylase kinase and the latter was more rapidly modified. Analysis of the ADP-ribosylated amino acid residue sequenced in alpha and beta subunits showed that both subunits were modified at the area of the arginine residue. The Km for NAD was 0.10 mM and the pH optimum was 9.0. When the ADP-ribosylated phosphorylase kinase was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a reduction in phosphate incorporation occurred with increase in the ADP-ribosylation. ADP-ribosylation also suppressed autophosphorylation, to a lesser degree than observed with cAMP-dependent phosphorylation. The ADP-ribosylation-dependent reduction of phosphorylation resulted in a suppression of the phosphorylation-dependent activation of the phosphorylase kinase. These results together with findings of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in the rabbit skeletal muscle [Soman, G. et al. (1984) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 120, 973-980] suggest that ADP-ribosylation participates in the regulation of the phosphorylase kinase activity through changes in the rate of phosphorylation.

The ADP-ribosylation site of histone H1 from calf thymus by purified hen liver nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase was determined and effects of the ADP-ribose X histone-H1 adduct on cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the histone H1 were investigated. ADP-ribosylated histone H1 was prepared by incubation of histone H1, 1 mM [adenylate-32P]NAD and the purified ADP-ribosyltransferase. N-Bromosuccinimide-directed bisection of ADP-ribosylated histone H1 showed that the NH2-terminal fragment (Mr = 6000) was modified and contained serine residue 38, the site of phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Digestion of the NH2-terminal fragment with cathepsin D and trypsin, and purification of this fragment, using high-performance liquid chromatography, yielded a radiolabelled single peptide corresponding to residues 29-34 of histone H1, containing the arginine residue as the ADP-ribosylation site. These results indicate that ADP-ribosylation of histone H1 occurs at the arginine residue 34, sequenced at the NH2-terminal side of the phosphate-accepting serine residue 38. Phosphorylation of histone H1 from calf thymus by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was markedly reduced when histone H1 was ADP-ribosylated. Kinetic studies of phosphorylation revealed that ADP-ribosylated histone H1 was a linear competitive inhibitor of histone H1 and a linear non-competitive inhibitor of ATP.

L-type pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) purified from pig liver was ADP-ribosylated by incubation with NAD and ADP-ribosyltransferase purified from hen liver nuclei. Maximal incorporation of the ADP-ribose moiety from NAD into the L-type pyruvate kinase was 0.98 mol/mol of subunit. The Km values for NAD and L-type pyruvate kinase were 0.17 mM and 9.7 microM, respectively. ADP-ribosylation of the L-type pyruvate kinase resulted in suppression of the subsequent phosphorylation catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The ADP-ribosylation-induced suppression of phosphorylation of the L-type pyruvate kinase also resulted in suppression of the phosphorylation-induced inactivation. Amino acid analysis, after exhaustive sequential digestion of ADP-ribosyl-L-type pyruvate kinase with pepsin, aminopeptidase M and carboxy-peptidase B showed arginine to be the ADP-ribose-accepting amino acid. These results together with finding of the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in mammalian liver cytosol (Moss, J. and Stanley, S.J. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 7830-7833) suggest that ADP-ribosylation may participate in the regulation of the L-type pyruvate kinase activity through changes in the rate of phosphorylation.

The active NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase of wild type yeast cells fractionated by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography was inactivated in vitro by the addition of either the cAMP-dependent or cAMP-independent protein kinases obtained from wild type cells. cAMP-dependent inhibition of glutamate dehydrogenase activity was not observed in the crude extract of bcy1 mutant cells which were deficient in the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase of CYR3 mutant cells, which has a high K alpha value for cAMP in the phosphorylation reaction, required a high cAMP concentration for the inactivation of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase. An increased inactivation of partially purified active NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (Mr = 450,000) was observed to correlate with increased phosphorylation of a protein subunit (Mr = 100,000) of glutamate dehydrogenase. The phosphorylated protein was labeled by an NADH analog, 5'-p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyladenosine. Activation and dephosphorylation of inactive NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase fractions were observed in vitro by treatment with bovine alkaline phosphatase or crude yeast cell extracts. These results suggested that the conversion of the active form of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase to an inactive form is regulated by phosphorylation through cAMP-dependent and cAMP-independent protein kinases.

Work from several laboratories indicates that guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (GTP-binding proteins) are required for intracellular vesicular transport. In a previous report we presented evidence indicating that one or more heterotrimeric G proteins regulate fusion between endosomes (Colombo, M. I., Mayorga, L. S., Casey, P. J., and Stahl, P. D. (1992) Science 255, 1695-1697). We now report on experiments showing that Gs plays a role in endosome fusion. We have used several reagents known to modulate Gs function including (i) peptides corresponding to the cytoplasmic domains of G protein-coupled receptors and peptides that mimic interaction of receptors with G proteins, (ii) anti-G protein antibodies, and (iii) cholera toxin. Synthetic peptides corresponding to the third cytoplasmic loop of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor which putatively interact with G alpha s inhibited endosomal fusion. The inhibitory effect of these peptides was prevented by a short preincubation of endosomes with guanosine-5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate or by phosphorylating the peptide with cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The involvement of Gs in endosome recognition and/or the fusion process was assessed by testing an antibody against the COOH terminus of G alpha s. Anti-G alpha s IgG completely abolished fusion between endosomes. Lastly, preincubation of endosomal vesicles with cholera toxin abrogated fusion in the presence of NAD, whereas no effect was observed in the absence of the cofactor. Taken together these findings indicate a role for Gs in either the mechanism or the regulation of fusion among endosomes. These results raise the possibility that signal transduction through cytoplasmic domains of receptors may participate in the regulation of endocytic trafficking.

Recent work has revealed cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the 18-kDa IP subunit of the mammalian complex I of the respiratory chain, encoded by the nuclear NDUFS4 gene (chromosome 5). Phosphorylation of this protein has been shown to take place in fibroblast cultures in vivo, as well as in isolated mitochondria, which in addition to the cytosol also contain, in the inner-membrane matrix fraction, a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Mitochondria appear to have a Ca2+-inhibited phosphatase, which dephosphorylates the 18-kDa phosphoprotein. In fibroblast and myoblast cultures cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the 18-kDa protein is associated with potent stimulation of complex I and overall respiratory activity with NAD-linked substrates. Mutations in the human NDUFS4 gene have been found, which in the homozygous state are associated with deficiency of complex I and fatal neurological syndrome. In one case consisting of a 5 bp duplication, which destroyed the phosphorylation site, cAMP-dependent activation of complex I was abolished in the patient's fibroblast cultures. In another case consisting of a nonsense mutation, leading to termination of the protein after only 14 residues of the putative mitochondria targeting peptide, a defect in the assembly of complex I was found in fibroblast cultures.

Results of studies on the role of the 18 kDa (IP) polypeptide subunit of complex I, encoded by the nuclear NDUFS4 gene, in isolated bovine heart mitochondria and human and murine cell cultures are presented.The mammalian 18 kDa subunit has in the carboxy-terminal sequence a conserved consensus site (RVS), which in isolated mitochondria is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). The catalytic and regulatory subunits of PKA have been directly immunodetected in the inner membrane/matrix fraction of mammalian mitochondria. In the mitochondrial inner membrane a PP2Cgamma-type phosphatase has also been immunodetected, which dephosphorylates the 18 kDa subunit, phosphorylated by PKA. This phosphatase is Mg(2+)-dependent and inhibited by Ca(2+). In human and murine fibroblast and myoblast cultures "in vivo", elevation of intracellular cAMP level promotes phosphorylation of the 18 kDa subunit and stimulates the activity of complex I and NAD-linked mitochondrial respiration. Four families have been found with different mutations in the cDNA of the NDUFS4 gene. These mutations, transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance, were associated in homozygous children with fatal neurological syndrome. All these mutations destroyed the phosphorylation consensus site in the C terminus of the 18 kDa subunit, abolished cAMP activation of complex I and impaired its normal assembly.

A cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is localized in mammalian mitochondria with the catalytic site at the matrix side of the membrane where it phosphorylates a number of proteins. One of these is the 18 kDa(IP) subunit of the mammalian complex I of the respiratory chain, encoded by the nuclear NDUFS4 gene. Mitochondria have a Ca(2+)-inhibited phosphatase, which dephosphorylates the 18 kDa phosphoprotein of complex I. In fibroblast and myoblast cultures cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the 18 kDa protein is associated with stimulation of complex I and overall respiratory activity with NAD-linked substrates. Mutations in the human NDUFS4 gene have been found, which in the homozygous state are associated with deficiency of complex I and fatal neurological syndrome.
