The exogenous addition of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), or calmodulin (CaM) induced rapid phosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor (Ca2+ release channel) in canine cardiac microsomes treated with 1 mM [gamma-32P]ATP. Added protein kinase C (PKC) also phosphorylated the cardiac ryanodine receptor but at a relatively slow rate. The observed level of PKA-, PKG-, or PKC-dependent phosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor was comparable to the maximum level of [3H]ryanodine binding in cardiac microsomes, whereas the level of CaM-dependent phosphorylation was about 4 times greater. Phosphorylation by PKA, PKG, and PKC increased [3H]ryanodine binding in cardiac microsomes by 22 +/- 5, 17 +/- 4, and 15 +/- 9% (average +/- SD, n = 4-5), respectively. In contrast, incubation of microsomes with 5 microM CaM alone and 5 microM CaM plus 1 mM ATP decreased [3H]ryanodine binding by 38 +/- 14 and 53 +/- 15% (average +/- SD, n = 6), respectively. Phosphopeptide mapping and phosphoamino acid analysis provided evidence suggesting that PKA, PKG, and PKC predominantly phosphorylate serine residue(s) in the same phosphopeptide (peptide 1), whereas the endogenous CaM-kinase phosphorylates serine residue(s) in a different phosphopeptide (peptide 4). Photoaffinity labeling of microsomes with photoreactive 125I-labeled CaM revealed that CaM bound to a high molecular weight protein, which was immunoprecipitated by a monoclonal antibody against the cardiac ryanodine receptor. These results suggest that protein kinase-dependent phosphorylation and CaM play important regulatory roles in the function of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channel.

In these studies we demonstrate that insulin stimulates both tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor after its partial purification on wheat germ-agarose, and after affinity purification on insulin-agarose. Analysis of the serine phosphate incorporated into partially purified or highly purified insulin receptor suggests that an insulin-sensitive serine kinase (IRSK) copurifies with the insulin receptor. Following trypsin digestion, reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of the phosphorylated, affinity-purified insulin receptor preparation reveals phosphopeptide profiles similar to those of trypsin-digested receptors immunoprecipitated from 32P-labeled fibroblasts overexpressing the human insulin receptor. The major insulin-stimulated HPLC phosphopeptide peak from insulin receptors labeled in intact cells contains a hydrophilic phosphoserine-containing peptide which rapidly elutes from a C18 column. HPLC and two-dimensional separation indicate that the same phosphopeptide is obtained when affinity-purified insulin receptors are phosphorylated by IRSK. The serine containing tryptic peptide within the cytoplasmic domain of the human insulin receptor predicted to elute most rapidly upon HPLC had the sequence SSHCQR corresponding to residues 1293-1298. A synthetic peptide containing this sequence is phosphorylated by the insulin receptor/IRSK preparation. After alkylation and trypsin digestion, the synthetic phosphopeptide comigrates with the alkylated, tryptic phosphopeptide derived from insulin receptor phosphorylated in vitro by IRSK. We propose that serine 1293 or 1294 of the human insulin receptor is a major site(s) phosphorylated on the insulin receptor in intact cells and is phosphorylated by IRSK. Furthermore, insulin added directly to affinity-purified insulin receptor/IRSK preparations stimulates the phosphorylation of synthetic peptides corresponding to this receptor phosphorylation site and another containing threonine 1336. Kemptide phosphorylation is not stimulated by insulin under these conditions. No phosphorylation of peptide substrates for Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, casein kinase II, or cGMP-dependent protein kinase by IRSK is detected. These data indicate that IRSK exhibits specificity for the insulin receptor and may be activated by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in an insulin-dependent manner.

A purified bovine lung cGMP-binding cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase (cG-BPDE) was rapidly phosphorylated by purified bovine lung cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK). Within a physiological concentration range, cGK catalyzed phosphorylation of cG-BPDE at a rate approximately 10 times greater than did equimolar concentrations of purified catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAK). cG-BPDE was a poor substrate for either purified protein kinase C or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Binding of cGMP to the cG-BPDE binding site was required for phosphorylation since (a) phosphorylation of cG-BPDE by the catalytic subunit of cAK was cGMP-dependent, (b) phosphorylation of cG-BPDE in the presence of a cGMP analog specific for activation of cGK was cGMP-dependent, and (c) occupation of the cG-BPDE hydrolytic site with competitive inhibitors did not produce the cGMP-dependent effect. cGMP-dependent phosphorylation of cG-BPDE by both cGK and cAK occurred at serine. Proteolytic digestion of cG-BPDE phosphorylated by either cGK or cAK revealed the same phosphopeptide pattern, suggesting that phosphorylation by the two kinases occurred at the same or adjacent site(s). Tryptic digestion of cG-BPDE phosphorylated by cGK and [gamma-32P]ATP produced a single major phosphopeptide of approximately 2 kDa with the following amino-terminal sequence: Lys-Ile-Ser-Ala-Ser-Glu-Phe-Asp-Arg-Pro-Leu-Arg- Radioactivity was released during the third cycle of Edman degradation. cG-BPDE is one of few specific in vitro cGK substrates of known function to be identified. Elevation of intracellular cGMP may cause phosphorylation of cG-BPDE by modulating the substrate site availability as well as by activating cGK. Such regulation would greatly increase the selectivity of the phosphorylation of cG-BPDE and would represent a unique mechanism of action of a cyclic nucleotide or other second messenger.

Analogues of a synthetic heptapeptide substrate corresponding to the sequence around a phosphorylation site in histone H2B [Glass, D. B. & Krebs, E. G. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 1196-1200] were used to assess interactions between the peptide substrate and the ATP binding sites of cGMP-dependent protein kinase and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The affinity of each protein kinase for lin-benzo-ADP was determined in the absence and presence of substrate peptide by fluorescence anisotropy titrations [Bhatnagar, D., Roskoski, R., Jr., Rosendahl, M. S., & Leonard, N. J. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 6310-6317]. The Kd values of cGMP-dependent protein kinase for lin-benzo-ADP in the absence and presence of cGMP were 7.6 and 9.7 microM, respectively. Histone H2B(29-35) (Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser-Arg-Lys-Glu) had no effect on nucleotide affinity in either the absence or presence of cGMP. However, when lysine-34 located two residues after the phosphorylatable serine is replaced with an alanyl residue, the resulting [Ala34]histone H2B(29-35) and its analogue peptides interact with cGMP-dependent protein kinase and/or the nucleotide in a fashion that decreases nucleotide binding affinity approximately 3-fold. This amino acid replacement had previously been shown to cause an increase in Vmax and a decrease in the pH optimum for the phosphotransferase reaction. Replacement of positively charged residues at positions 30 and 31 of the peptide also decreased nucleotide affinity. Other analogues of histone H2B(29-35) failed to affect binding of lin-benzo-ADP to the active site of the cGMP-dependent enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK-II) from cilia of Paramecium, purified free of type I cAMP-PK (cAMP-PK-I) and of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGMP-PK), phosphorylated several basic proteins and a heptapeptide containing serine (Kemptide). The enzyme was partially inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitor (Walsh inhibitor), but only at relatively high inhibitor concentrations. Half-maximal activation of cAMP-PK-II occurred at 15-25 nM cAMP. Several cAMP analogs were tested for ability to bind and activate the enzyme. 8-bromo-cGMP, a potent activator of Paramecium cGMP-PK, was a poor activator of Paramecium cAMP-PK-II. Activation of cAMP-PK-II was influenced by the phosphorylation assay buffer. Phosphate buffers provided increased activation by cAMP but decreased total activity relative to that measured in Mops-Tris buffer. The kinase was cAMP-independent when the pH of the assay buffer was high. Preincubation of cAMP-PK-II with histones also activated the enzyme in the absence of cAMP. The cAMP-PK-II bound cAMP with a Kd of 23 nM, and bound cAMP was released with a biphasic time course, suggesting two non-identical binding sites. The properties of the cAMP-PK of this ciliated protozoan appear to be closely similar to those of vertebrates.

The cytosolic fraction of insulin-treated adipocytes exhibits a 2-fold increase in protein kinase activity when Kemptide is used as a substrate. The detection of insulin-stimulated kinase activity is critically dependent on the presence of phosphatase inhibitors such as fluoride and vanadate in the cell homogenization buffer. The cytosolic protein kinase activity exhibits high sensitivity (ED50 = 2 X 10(-10) M) and a rapid response (maximal after 2 min) to insulin. Kinetic analyses of the cytosolic kinase indicate that insulin increases the Vmax of Kemptide phosphorylation and ATP utilization without affecting the affinities of this enzyme toward the substrate or nucleotide. Upon chromatography on anion-exchange and gel filtration columns, the insulin-stimulated cytosolic kinase activity is resolved from the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and migrates as a single peak with an apparent Mr = 50,000-60,000. The partially purified kinase preferentially utilizes histones, Kemptide, multifunctional calmodulin-dependent protein kinase substrate peptide, ATP citrate-lyase, and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase as substrates but does not catalyze phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6, casein, phosvitin, phosphorylase b, glycogen synthase, inhibitor II, and substrate peptides for casein kinase II, protein kinase C, and cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphoamino acid analyses of the 32P-labeled substrates reveal that the insulin-stimulated cytosolic kinase is primarily serine-specific. The insulin-activated cytosolic kinase prefers Mn2+ to Mg2+ and is independent of Ca2+. Unlike ribosomal protein S6 kinase and protease-activated kinase II, the insulin-sensitive cytosolic kinase is fluoride-insensitive. Taken together, these results indicate that a novel cytosolic protein kinase activity is activated by insulin.

The amino acid sequence of the Alzheimer disease amyloid precursor (ADAP) has been deduced from the corresponding cDNA, and hydropathy analysis of the sequence suggests a receptor-like structure with a single transmembrane domain. The putative cytoplasmic domain of ADAP contains potential sites for serine and threonine phosphorylation. In the present study, synthetic peptides derived from this domain were used as model substrates for various purified protein kinases. Protein kinase C rapidly catalyzed the phosphorylation of a peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 645-661 of ADAP [ADAP peptide(645-661)] on Ser-655. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II phosphorylated ADAP peptide (645-661) on Thr-654 and Ser-655. This peptide was virtually ineffective as a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, casein kinase II, or insulin receptor protein-tyrosine kinase. When a homogenate of rat cerebral cortex was used as the source of protein kinase, phosphorylation of ADAP peptide(645-661) was stimulated by calcium/phosphatidylserine/diolein to a level 4.6-fold above the basal level of phosphorylation, consistent with a prominent stimulation by protein kinase C. Using rat cerebral cortex synaptosomes prelabeled with 32Pi, a 32P-labeled phosphoprotein of approximately equal to 135 kDa was immunoprecipitated by using antisera prepared against ADAP peptide(597-624), consistent with the possibility that the holoform of ADAP in rat brain is a phosphoprotein. Based on analogy with the effect of phosphorylation by protein kinase C of juxtamembrane residues in the cytoplasmic domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor and the interleukin 2 receptor, phosphorylation of ADAP may target it for internalization.

We have used mammalian probes to clone genes encoding the catalytic (C) and type I regulatory (RI) components of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in Drosophila. Both Drosophila gene products are very similar in amino acid sequence (RI, 71%; C, 82%) to their respective mammalian counterparts, implying homologous activity. A single Drosophila type I regulatory subunit gene is the source of at least three distinct transcripts originating from different promoters and spliced to a common body that would encode a full-length analog and two amino-terminally truncated variants of the mammalian RI protein. The RI locus also includes two intronic genes of unknown function. A single highly conserved catalytic subunit gene (DC0) was found that codes for a single polypeptide. It was used to isolate 11 further more distantly related apparent protein kinase genes. Two of these genes (DC1 and DC2) are sufficiently similar to DC0 in sequence (45% and 49% amino acid identity, respectively) that they could conceivably encode products of overlapping function. Two further genes are very similar in sequence to bovine cGMP-dependent protein kinase. The remaining putative gene products include amino acid sequence motifs characteristic of serine-threonine protein kinases but cannot, from the available data, be defined as homologous to specific protein kinases of other organisms.

We recently described a novel isozyme of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (type I beta). It has a structure and peptide substrate specificity which is similar to that of type I alpha, but it has a different cGMP binding behavior, and autophosphorylation occurs almost entirely in serine instead of in both serine and threonine residues (Wolfe, L., Corbin, J.D., and Francis, S.H. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 7734-7741). An amino-terminal sequence of 31 amino acids derived from three proteolytic fragments of type I beta had 45% homology with a sequence beginning at type I alpha-47. However, sequences of three CNBr peptides of type I beta were identical to sequences of type I alpha beginning at type I alpha-202, -213, and -576 of 11, 27, and 30 residues. These sequences include portions of the catalytic domain and at least one cGMP-binding domain (site 1). Thus, types I alpha and I beta may be produced by alternative splicing of two unique mRNA segments to generate different amino acid sequences in the protein in a region that is amino-terminal to type I alpha-202. This segment in type I beta corresponds to the region in type I alpha that includes the major autophosphorylation site (Thr-58) which is within the domain that is proposed to inhibit catalytic activity. This region presumably interacts with the cGMP-binding site(s) to account for the differences in cGMP-binding behavior between types I alpha and I beta. Even though the sequence of type I beta in the variable region lacks the residue corresponding to Thr-58, it includes a consensus phosphorylation site (KRQAISA) beginning at type I alpha-59, which is absent in type I alpha. The results imply flexibility in the design of the autophosphorylation site and, hence, of the inhibitory domain.

A polycation-dependent protein kinase was found to be associated with purified phytochrome preparations from etiolated Avena seedlings. This kinase and three mammalian protein kinases, the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, and a Ca2+-activated phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, were used to probe light-induced conformational changes in 124-kilodalton Avena phytochrome in vitro. The red absorbing form of phytochrome (Pr) was found to be a substrate for all four protein kinases. Although the far-red absorbing form of phytochrome (Pfr) was as good a substrate as Pr with the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the Pfr form was poorly phosphorylated by the other three protein kinases. Serine is the major amino acid residue phosphorylated on phytochrome regardless of the form of phytochrome used as substrate. Peptide mapping revealed that the sites of phosphorylation catalyzed by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase differ for Pr and Pfr forms of phytochrome. For the Pr form, the preferred site(s) of phosphorylation was near the amino terminus of the 124-kilodalton subunit. Upon photo-conversion to Pfr, this site can no longer be phosphorylated easily and a new phosphorylation site in the COOH-terminal nonchromophore domain of the molecule becomes accessible to the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These studies of the phosphorylation of phytochrome provide a new means to study the effect of light absorption by phytochrome on the molecular conformation of the protein. The potential physiological implications of differential phosphorylation of Pr and Pfr await elucidation.
