Several polycations were tested for their abilities to inhibit the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3). L-Polylysine was the most powerful inhibitor of GSK-3 with half-maximal inhibition of glycogen synthase phosphorylation occurring at approx. 100 nM. D-Polylysine and histone H1 were also inhibitory, but the concentration dependence was complex, and DL-polylysine was the least effective inhibitor. Spermine caused about 50% inhibition of GSK-3 at 0.7 mM and 70% inhibition at 4 mM. Inhibition of GSK-3 by L-polylysine could be blocked or reversed by heparin. A heat-stable polycation antagonist isolated from swine kidney cortex also blocked the inhibitory effect of L-polylysine on GSK-3 and blocked histone H1 stimulation of protein phosphatase 2A activity. Under the conditions tested, L-polylysine also inhibited GSK-3 catalyzed phosphorylation of type II regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and a 63 kDa brain protein, but only slightly inhibited phosphorylation of inhibitor 2 or proteolytic fragments of glycogen synthase that contain site 3 (a + b + c). L-Polylysine at a concentration (200 nM) that caused nearly complete inhibition of GSK-3 stimulated casein kinase I and casein kinase II, but had virtually no effect on the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These results suggest that polycations can be useful in controlling GSK-3 activity. Polycations have the potential to decrease the phosphorylation state of glycogen synthase at site 3, both by inhibiting GKS-3 as shown in this study and by stimulating the phosphatase reaction as shown previously (Pelech, S. and Cohen, P. (1985) Eur. J. Biochem. 148, 245-251).

p34 kinase, the product of the CDC2 gene, is a cell-cycle regulated protein kinase that is most active during mitosis. In HeLa cells, p34 kinase has previously been shown to exist in both a low- and a high-molecular-mass form, the latter of which is only found in cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and contains a 62-kDa subunit. Here we show that although each form of the kinase phosphorylates casein in vitro, only the high-molecular-mass form uses histone H1 as substrate. The high-molecular-mass form of p34 kinase from nocodazole-treated HeLa cells was purified 6700-fold. The apparent molecular mass of the mitotic CDC2-encoded protein kinase complex was 220 kDa. The purified enzyme phosphorylated not only its endogenous 62-kDa subunit but also phosphorylated histone H1 with a Km of 3 microM and used ATP 40 times more efficiently than GTP (Km 54 microM and 2 mM, respectively). The enzyme activity was unaffected by cAMP, calcium/calmodulin, or by the heat-stable inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These characteristics are typical of growth-associated histone H1 kinase from different organisms. These results suggest that CDC2 protein may be activated as an M-phase-specific protein kinase in part by its association with the p62 subunit.

X rays (4.8 Gy) inhibit both DNA synthesis and phosphorylation of histone H1 in the regenerating liver of the rat. To determine the cause of the inhibition of histone H1 phosphorylation, changes in the nuclear protein kinase activities during the prereplicative phase of regeneration were measured. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity was low during regeneration, and the changes in the activity were not statistically significant. The cAMP-independent protein kinase activity increased at 15 h, decreased at 18 h, and increased again at 24 h after partial hepatectomy. X irradiation prior to partial hepatectomy did not inhibit the increase at 15 h, but it did inhibit the increase at 24 h. The activity was not inhibited by isoquinolinesulfonamide inhibitors such as H-7, and it was activated by a commercial preparation of an inhibitor protein of the cAMP-dependent kinase. It was also inhibited by quercetin. The possibility that the radiation-sensitive nuclear protein kinase is a nuclear cAMP-independent protein kinase specific for histone H1 is considered.

The dephosphorylation of phospho-amino acids with alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) from calf intestine or Escherichia coli and the phosphorylation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor kinase from human A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells were investigated by 31P NMR spectroscopy. The initial rates of the dephosphorylation of phospho-tyrosine (P-Tyr) and phosphoserine (P-Ser) with AlPase were essentially the same in the one-substrate system. In the two-substrate system (P-Tyr plus P-Ser), however, the ratio of the initial rate for P-Tyr vs. P-Ser was 2.4 to 4.5 depending on the buffer and pH conditions employed. This substantiates for the first time the specificity of AlPases to P-Tyr over P-Ser at the free amino acid level. In the stationary phase of the overall process, the dephosphorylation of P-Ser became slow compared to that of P-Tyr in the one-substrate system. The decrease in the rate for P-Ser was further pronounced in the two-substrate system. For this remarkable effect, the rephosphorylation of serine was responsible, as demonstrated in the reaction mixture containing serine, Pi, and AlPase. BSA phosphorylated by EGF receptor kinase exhibited sharp 31P resonances around 0 ppm at neutral pH, far distant from the peak positions (4.9 ppm) of histone H1 phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These NMR data are directed evidence that BSA was phosphorylated exclusively at the tyrosyl residues, whereas the phosphorylation of histone H1 was at the seryl residues.

A serine protein kinase specific for ribosomal protein S6 in 40 S subunits has been identified and purified greater than 15,000-fold (with 18% recovery) from developing chicken embryos. An analogous enzyme has also been detected in serum-stimulated chicken embryo fibroblasts. The S6 kinase was identified as a phosphoprotein of Mr approximately 65,000 based on (i) gel filtration, (ii) apparent autophosphorylation of a 65-kDa protein when several enzyme preparations were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP in the absence of added substrate, (iii) comigration of S6 kinase activity with the autophosphorylating activity over a variety of chromatographic resins, and (iv) elution and renaturation of S6 kinase activity from the 65-kDa region of a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. The purified protein kinase is highly specific for S6 in 40 S subunits and does not appreciably phosphorylate casein, histone H1, mixed histones, protamine, polyoma virus capsid protein, or phosphorylase a/b. These characteristics suggest that this enzyme is unrelated to other protein kinases believed to be activated in stimulated cells, including cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme), or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases. In fibroblasts, S6 kinase is activated by a variety of mitogenic agents including the tyrosine-specific protein kinase of Rous sarcoma virus, pp60v-src, phorbol esters, and growth factors. The present identification and purification of the S6 kinase should facilitate future studies aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which signals from these diverse stimuli rapidly converge upon and activate this enzyme.

Protein phosphatase T from rat liver, so termed due to its activity toward [32P-Thr]casein and its marked preference for the phosphopeptide Arg-Arg-Ala-Thr(P)-Val-Ala over its phosphoseryl derivative (Donella Deana, A., Marchiori, F., Meggio, F. and Pinna, L.A. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 8565-8568), is shown here to belong to the family of type 2A protein phosphatase according to Cohen's nomenclature (Ingebritsen, T.S. and Cohen, P. (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 132, 255-261). In particular, protein phosphatase T is endowed with phosphorylase phosphatase activity that is stimulated by protamine, histone H1 and heparin, it is inhibited by spermine, it does not bind to heparin-Sepharose and it readily dephosphorylates the phosphopeptide Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser reproducing the phosphorylation site of the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase. The Mr of protein phosphatase T determined by gel filtration under non-denaturating conditions is about 150 kDa and its activity ratio toward histone H1 phosphorylated by protein kinase C versus histone H1 phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase is unusually high. Some properties of protein phosphatase T, such as its weak binding to DEAE-cellulose and its high stimulation by protamine as compared to a relatively poor stimulation by histone H1, suggest that it may be similar to subtype 2Ao of protein phosphatase 2A.

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.

Using the method of protein transfer from polyacrylamide gel to nitrocellulose filters with subsequent incubation of filter-adsorbed protein with [32P]DNA, it was found that the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase from porcine brain is capable of interacting with DNA to form a stable complex. This complex is resistant even to 2 M NaCl. The ability of the catalytic subunit to interact with DNA depends on the degree of enzyme nativity. The regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase does not bind to DNA both in the presence and absence of cAMP. The 125I-labeled regulatory subunit can interact with some chromatin proteins, in particular, with histone H1 and core histones. An essential role in this binding belongs to electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.

Nuclear histone kinase activity, specifically histone H1 phosphotransferase activity, was shown to increase in synchronous Chinese hamster cells from the G1/S boundary to late G2/early M phase. Chromatin extracts purified by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography showed a cAMP-independent kinase activity that demonstrated cell cycle dependence and high specificity for histone H1 as the phosphate acceptor in the presence of [gamma-32P] ATP. This activity was purified approximately 40-fold. Using as substrates calf thymus histone H1 subfractions resolved by Bio-Rex 70 ion exchange chromatography, phosphorylation by the nuclear histone H1 kinase indicated that 32P incorporation into H1-2 was at least twice that for H1-1 and H1-3 subfractions. Both amino- and carboxy-terminal fragments generated by N-bromosuccinimide cleavage were phosphorylated. Phosphoamino acid analysis showed phosphothreonine to be approximately twice as abundant as phosphoserine. Histone H1 kinase activity was not activated by cyclic nucleotides, nor inhibited by cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitors or regulatory subunits. There was no effect on activity by Ca2+ alone or in the presence of calmodulin or diacylglycerol. Kinase activity was inhibited by nonhydrolyzable analogs of ATP such as adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate, by 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine which binds to the ATP binding site of the enzyme, and by quercetin. Column fractions enriched in histone H1 kinase were labeled with 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl[8-14C]adenosine, and peptides were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. One band, Mr 67,000, was specifically labeled and may represent the H1 kinase catalytic subunit.

A Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C was isolated from the soluble fraction of bovine brain, using hydrophobic chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B and high performance liquid chromatography on a Mono Q column. The enzyme had a specific activity of 822 nmol 32P/mg protein/min with histone H1 as a substrate. Phosphorylation of pig myocardium sarcolemma protein substrates was stimulated by Ca2+ and phosphatidylserine; the optimal concentrations of these compounds were 10(-4) M and 200 micrograms/ml, respectively. The value of Km(app) for Ca2+ was 3.10(-6) M. An addition of exogenous dioleine increased the enzyme affinity for Ca2+ which led to a decrease of Ca2+ concentration necessary for the maximal activation to occur. The optimal concentration of ATP needed for sarcolemmal preparation phosphorylation was 0.3-0.4 mM, which seems to be due to the high activity of sarcolemmal ATPases. The proteins phosphorylated in sarcolemmal preparations were identified, using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with subsequent autoradiography. The 250, 140, 67, 58, 25 and 11 kD proteins appeared to be phosphorylated in the greatest degree. Since in myocardial sarcolemma protein kinase C predominantly phosphorylates the same proteins as does the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, it was assumed that protein kinase C can also play a role in the regulation of Ca2+-transporting systems of sarcolemma.
