The present study was undertaken in order to identify the inhibitory site of the heat-stable inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKI) and to synthesize a peptide that could serve as a useful inhibitor of the enzyme. Digestion of purified PKI by mast cell proteinase II yielded a peptide fragment that retained inhibitory activity. A sequence of 20 amino acids of the peptide, (sequence in text) revealed the presence of a "pseudosubstrate site" (Arg-Arg-Asn-Ala-Ile) for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in which alanine replaces the seryl or threonyl residue that is normally phosphorylated. Digestion of PKI with various other proteinases implicated the involvement of arginyl and hydrophobic residues as determinants for the inhibitory activity. The assumption that this region is part of the inhibitory site was confirmed by the synthesis of a corresponding duodecapeptide that displayed strong inhibitory activity. Inhibition by the peptide was competitive with a Ki of 0.8 microM as measured against a number of protein substrates. The sequence of this fragment bears a strong resemblance to the autophosphorylation site in the type II regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a region also postulated to interact with the catalytic subunit, and the analogous region of type I regulatory subunit. Neither intact PKI nor the synthetic peptide inhibit the cGMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, myosin light-chain kinase, casein kinase II, or protein kinase C.

cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, smooth muscle myosin light-chain kinase, and phosphorylase kinase were examined with respect to their ability to phosphorylate porcine atrial muscarinic receptors (mAcChRs). Experiments were performed both in detergent solution and in a reconstituted system containing the mAcChR alone or in the presence of the purified porcine atrial inhibitor guanine nucleotide binding protein (Gi). Only cAMP-dependent protein kinase was capable of phosphorylating the receptor under any of the experimental conditions examined. Phosphorylation of the mAcChR in the detergent-solubilized state resulted in a loss of ligand binding sites that was reversible upon treatment with calcineurin in the presence of calcium and calmodulin. Upon reconstitution, the apparent stoichiometry of phosphorylation was increased by about 15-fold. Carbachol-stimulated covalent incorporation of phosphate was found only in the reconstituted system in the presence of Gi, suggesting that the large agonist-stimulated increase in phosphorylation observed in vivo [Kwatra, M. M., & Hosey, M. M. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 12429-12432] may in part result from a unique receptor conformation that occurs upon association with this protein. Ligand binding studies indicated that phosphorylation of the mAcChR in the detergent-solubilized or reconstituted state did not affect its interaction with carbachol or L-quinuclidinyl benzilate in vitro. Carbachol-induced stimulation of the GTPase activity of Gi in the reconstituted system was also unaffected by phosphorylation.

A calmodulin-dependent protein kinase purified from liver catalyzed the incorporation of up to 0.7 mol of phosphate per mol subunit of phenylalanine 4-monooxygenase. The phosphorylation was accompanied by a proportional increase in the hydroxylase activity. The reaction was Ca2+-dependent and was inhibited by physiological concentrations of phenylalanine. Phenylalanine 4-monooxygenase was also a substrate for the cGMP-dependent protein kinase, but in this system phenylalanine stimulated the rate of phosphorylation to a similar extent as that observed in the reaction catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The hydroxylase was not a substrate for phosphorylase kinase. The calmodulin-dependent reversal of the kinase reaction in the presence of MgADP, was also inhibited by phenylalanine. Since the kinetics of the reverse reaction was the same using 32P-hydroxylase phosphorylated by calmodulin-dependent and cAMP-dependent kinases, it is likely that both kinases phosphorylate the same site on the enzyme. This conclusion was further supported by peptide mapping of tryptic and peptic digests of 32P-hydroxylase, which revealed one major phosphopeptide with enzyme phosphorylated by either kinase. The Ca2+-dependent and calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation described above may mediate the increased phosphorylation of the hydroxylase [Garrison, J. C., Johnsen, D. E., and Campanile, C. P. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3283-3292] and its increased activity [Fisher, M. J., Santana, M. A., and Pogson, C. I. (1984) Biochem. J. 219, 87-90] recently observed in hepatocytes exposed to Ca2+-elevating agents.
