The synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-phosphate and PI 4,5-bisphosphate in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is stimulated by glucose. PI 4-kinase (ATP:phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.67) catalyzes the committed step in the synthesis of these phosphoinositides. Previous studies have suggested that the glucose effect on phosphoinositide synthesis is mediated by cellular levels of ATP and ADP and by the RAS/cAMP pathway. Using purified preparations of the membrane-associated 45- and 55-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase, we examined the regulation of these activities by nucleotides and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. MgADP was a potent inhibitor of both forms of the enzyme. Detailed kinetic analyses of the 45- and 55-kDa enzymes using Triton X-100/PI-mixed micelles showed that MgADP was a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 0.14 and 0.25 mM, respectively) with respect to MgATP and a noncompetitive inhibitor (Ki = 1.3 and 0.9 mM, respectively) with respect to PI. The Ki values for MgADP were about 2-fold lower than the Km values the enzymes have for their substrate MgATP and about 2-fold lower than the cellular concentration of ADP. The 45- and 55-kDa forms of PI 4-kinase activity were regulated differentially by CTP, an important nucleotide involved in phospholipid biosynthesis. Whereas the 55-kDa PI 4-kinase was inhibited by CTP, the 45-kDa enzyme was unaffected by CTP. CTP was a mixed type of inhibitor (Ki = 1.5 mM) with respect to MgATP and a noncompetitive inhibitor (Ki = 4 mM) with respect to PI. The Ki value for CTP was 4-fold higher than the Km value for MgATP and 7-fold higher than the cellular concentration of CTP. The 45- and 55-kDa PI 4-kinases were neither phosphorylated nor regulated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These results did not support the previous conclusion that PI 4-phosphate synthesis was mediated by the RAS/cAMP pathway. Our kinetic studies supported the conclusion that the glucose effect on the synthesis of PI 4-phosphate was mediated by cellular levels of ATP and ADP through the regulation of membrane-associated PI 4-kinase activity.

The single-locus mutant mouse tottering (tg) displays spontaneous seizures that resemble those in human petit-mal epilepsy. In order to examine alterations in GABAA receptor function which could arise as a result of this mutation, the influx of 36Cl- was determined using microsacs (membrane vesicles) isolated from the brain of tg/tg and coisogenic C57BL/6J (+/+) control mice. In microsacs from both tg/tg and +/+ strains, the maximum level of 36Cl- uptake induced by 50 microM GABA was observed during five seconds of incubation at 28 degrees C. Compared to +/+, the GABA-dependent 36Cl- uptake in tg/tg microsacs was significantly lower and faded rapidly during longer incubations. The levels of gated 36Cl- uptake in tg/tg microsacs were 45 +/- 6.3%, 65 +/- 9.9%, and 33 +/- 6.1% of control (+/+) values for 3-, 5-, and 10-s incubations, respectively. GABAA receptor-specific agonists (30 microM), muscimol, isoguvacine and THIP (4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoazolo-[5,4-c]pyridin-3-ol) induced 36Cl- influx in the order muscimol > GABA > isoguvacine > THIP. This order was similar for both strains, but the agonist-dependent influx was always significantly lower in tg/tg compared to +/+. Treatment of the microsacs with 10 microM H-89, a membrane-permeant inhibitor of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A, PKA), was without effect on GABA-gated 36Cl- uptake in +/+, but increased the gated uptake in tg/tg microsacs by 44 +/- 16%. PKA was assayed using [gamma-32]ATP and kemptide as the substrate. Triton X-100 (0.1%) increased both the basal and 8-Br-cAMP dependent PKA activity in microsacs by 3-4 four fold, showing that most of the enzyme was intravesicular. In the presence of Triton, the basal activity of PKA in the tg/tg preparations was twice that of +/+, while the strain difference was no longer apparent in assays containing 8-Br-cAMP. The data suggest that an abnormal elevation of protein kinase A activity in tottering mouse brain contributes to an impairment of GABAA receptor function. It is suggested that the resulting loss of inhibition could play a role in induction of the seizures which characterize the mutant phenotype.

An active ribosomal protein S6 kinase has been highly purified from the membranes of rabbit reticulocytes by chromatography of the Triton X-100 extract on DEAE-cellulose, SP-Sepharose Fast Flow, and by FPLC on Mono Q and Superose-12. The S6 kinase elutes around 40 000 daltons upon gel filtration on Superose-12 or Sephacryl S-200. It has a subunit molecular weight of 40-43 kDa as determined by protein kinase activity following denaturation/renaturation in SDS-polyacrylamide gels containing S6 peptide. It also phosphorylates translational initiation factors eIF-2 and eIF-4F, glycogen synthase, histone 1, histone 2B, myelin basic protein, but not prolactin, skeletal myosin light chain, histone 4, tubulin, and casein. Apparent Km values have been determined to be 15 microM for ATP, 1.2 microM for S6 and 10 microM for S6 peptide. Two-dimensional tryptic phosphopeptide mapping shows the same sites on S6 are phosphorylated as those identified previously with proteolytically activated multipotential S6 kinase from rabbit reticulocytes, previously denoted as protease activated kinase II. Examination of relative rates of phosphorylation and kinetic constants of synthetic peptides based on previously identified phosphorylation sites, indicates a minimum substrate recognition sequence to be arginine at the n - 3 position. Based on these characteristics, including molecular weight and an expanded substrate specificity, the membrane S6 kinase can be distinguished from the p90 (Type I) and p70 (Type II) S6 kinases, and from protein kinase C and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

The mechanism of dephosphorylation of multiphosphorylated proteins in the brain is not well understood. We have used the multiphosphorylated protein, phosvitin as a model substrate and undertaken the purification and characterization of brain phosphatases that preferentially dephosphorylate multiphosphorylated proteins. Two phosvitin phosphatase activities, termed Phosvitin Phosphatase 1 and 2 (PvP1, PvP2), which show acidic pH optima were resolved from the 33,000g supernatant fraction from rat brain by a procedure employing successive DEAE-cellulose, Sepharose 6B, second DEAE-cellulose and FPLC/Superose 6 chromatography steps. Following FPLC/Superose 6 size exclusion chromatography of PvP1 and PvP2, single peaks of phosvitin phosphatase activities were eluted in the range of 160-220 kDa with acidic pH optima. When FPLC/Sepharose 6 chromatography was performed in the presence of 0.5 M NaCl and 0.1% Triton X-100, low molecular mass protein phosphatase forms were produced in addition to the high-M, activity peak, ranging from 25 to 35 kDa (PvP1) and from 15 to 25 kDa (PvP2). Under these conditions, both high- and low-M, forms of PvP1 and PvP2 exhibited neutral pH optima. Both phosphatases dephosphorylate also (i) phosphorylase a, (ii) the alpha and beta subunits of phosphorylase kinase, and (iii) the microtubule-associated protein tau, phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The present results suggest that two forms of protein phosphatases, displayed molecular and biochemical characteristics both similar and distinct from type 1 and type 2A protein phosphatases, are present in rat brain.

The species-dependent compartmentation of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA I) and its dissociated regulatory subunit (RI) was examined in the heart by biochemical and immunohistochemical means. PKA I and RI were resolved from type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase and its regulatory subunit by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography of the supernatant and Triton X-100 soluble particulate fractions of heart homogenates. The relative amounts of holoenzymes and subunits were determined by cAMP-binding, protein kinase, 8-N3-[32P]cAMP photoaffinity labeling, and Western blot assays. Rat, rabbit, and guinea pig hearts all contained PKA I to varying degrees, but only in the supernatant fractions. Significant amounts of dissociated RI were found in the supernatant fractions, and to a lesser extent the particulate fractions, of these species. In contrast, though no PKA I was detected in the supernatant or particulate fractions of pig and beef heart, half of the cAMP-binding activity in the particulate fraction was attributed to RI. The results suggest that RI may associate with membrane fractions when it is not associated with the PKA catalytic subunit. Immunohistochemical studies of tissue sections from pig, beef, and rat cardiac ventricle using antibodies directed against RI also revealed species-dependent localization of RI. Cardiac myocyte intercalated discs were stained in pig and beef sections with additional sarcolemmal staining in beef sections. Rat ventricle, which contained large amounts of supernatant PKA I, showed nuclear staining. The localization of RI to cardiac myocyte intercalated discs and sarcolemma in certain species suggests a role(s) for this subunit in mediating cAMP-regulated events in these regions.

Incorporation of 32P into telokin, a smooth muscle-specific, 17-18-kDa, acidic (pI 4.2-4.4) protein, was increased by forskolin (20 microM) in intact rabbit ileum smooth muscle (ileum) and by 8-bromo-cyclic GMP (100 microM) in alpha-toxin-permeabilized ileum. Native telokin (5-20 microM), purified from turkey gizzard, and recombinant rabbit telokin, expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to >90% purity, induced dose-dependent relaxation, associated with a significant decrease in regulatory myosin light chain phosphorylation, without affecting the rate of thiophosphorylation of regulatory myosin light chain of ileum permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. Endogenous telokin was lost from ileum during prolonged permeabilization (>20 min) with 0.1% Triton X-100, and the time course of loss was correlated with the loss of 8-bromo-cyclic GMP-induced calcium desensitization. Recombinant and native gizzard telokins were phosphorylated, in vitro, by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, and p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase; the recombinant protein was also phosphorylated by calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Exogenous cGMP-dependent protein kinase (0.5 microM) activated by 8-bromo-cyclic GMP (50 microM) phosphorylated recombinant telokin (10 microM) when added concurrently to ileum depleted of its endogenous telokin, and their relaxant effects were mutually potentiated. Forskolin (20 microM) also increased phosphorylation of telokin in intact ileum. We conclude that telokin induces calcium desensitization in smooth muscle by enhancing myosin light chain phosphatase activity, and cGMP- and/or cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of telokin up-regulates its relaxant effect.

A 100-kDa protein that is a main component of the microsomal fraction from rabbit gastric mucosa is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in the presence of 0.2% Triton X-100. Microsomes from rabbit gastric mucosa possess activity of H,K-ATPase but not activity of Na,K-ATPase. Incubation of microsomes with 5 microM fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC) results in both an inhibition of H,K-ATPase and labeling of a protein with an electrophoretic mobility corresponding to the mobility of the protein phosphorylated by PKA. The data suggest that the alpha-subunit of H,K-ATPase can be a potential target for PKA phosphorylation.

A resonant mirror biosensor was used to study cyclic nucleotide-receptor interactions. In particular, a novel method was developed to determine inhibition constants (Ki) from initial rates of ligate association to immobilized ligand. This approach was applied to the comparison of cyclic nucleotide-binding properties of the wild-type isolated B domain of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase type Ialpha regulatory subunit and its Ala-334-Thr (A334T) variant that has altered cyclic nucleotide specificity. A cUMP-saturated form of the B domain was used for all measurements. Under the conditions used, cUMP did not affect the kinetics of B domain association to immobilized cAMP. Triton X-100 was required to stabilize the protein at nanomolar concentrations. The association and dissociation rate constants for wild-type and A334T B domains yielded equilibrium dissociation constants of 11 and 16 nM. Heterogeneity of ligate and immobilized ligand, mass transport effects, and other factors were evaluated for their influence on biosensor-determined kinetic constants. Biosensor-determined relative inhibition constants (Ki' = Ki(cAMP)/Ki(analog)) for 16 cyclic nucleotide analogs correlated well with those determined by a [3H]cAMP binding assay. Previously published Ki' values for the B domain in the intact regulatory subunit were similar to those of the isolated B domain. The Ki' values for the wild-type and A334T B domains were essentially unchanged except for dramatic enhancements in affinity of cGMP analogs for the A334T B domain. These observations validate the isolated B domain as a simple model system for studying cyclic nucleotide-receptor interactions.

Based on electrophysiological measurements, it has been argued that the active form of cystic fibrosis trans-membrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel is a multimer. It has also been demonstrated that this multimerization is likely due to PDZ domain-interacting partners. Here we demonstrate that although CFTR in vitro can self-associate into multimers, which depends on PDZ-based interactions, this may not be the case in cell membrane. Using chemical cross-linking, we demonstrated that CFTR exists as a higher order complex in cell membrane. However, this higher order complex is predominantly CFTR dimers, and the PDZ-interacting partners (Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1) and NHERF2) constitute approximately 2% of this complex. Interestingly solubilizing membrane expressing CFTR in detergents such as Triton X-100, Nonidet P-40, deoxycholate, and SDS tended to destabilize the CFTR dimers and dissociate them into monomeric form. The dimerization of CFTR was tightly regulated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase-dependent phosphorylation and did not depend on the active form of the channel. In addition, the dimerization was not influenced by either the PDZ motif or its interacting partners (NHERF1 and NHERF2). We also demonstrated that other signaling-related proteins such as Gbeta and syntaxin 1A can be in this higher order complex of CFTR as well. Our studies provide a deeper understanding of how the CFTR assembly takes place in native cell membrane.

Following incubation of rat brain membranes with the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and [(32)P]ATP, a previously unreported phosphoprotein, pp59, was found to be enriched in cerebellar synaptic plasma membrane preparations, but not in those prepared from cerebral cortex, hippocampus, olfactory bulb, or striatum. This protein, which has an M(r) of 59,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, is not phosphorylated by the cGMP-dependent protein kinase. While pp59 was consistently detected in cerebellar membranes from adult Sprague-Dawley rats, it was not detected in bovine or rabbit cerebellar membranes. Moreover, pp59 did not comigrate with any of the autophosphorylated subunits of the Ca(2+)/calmodulindependent protein kinase in rat cerebellar membranes. Extraction of pp59 from these membranes could be accomplished with 6 M urea, but not with 0.4 M NaCl or 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100. The urea solubility suggests that pp59 is not an integral membrane protein. Acid hydrolysis of the protein phosphorylated in vitro yielded phosphoserine but no significant amount of phosphothreonine or phosphotyrosine. Further analysis of pp59 may provide new insights into the role of cAMP in modulation of synaptic function in the cerebellum.
