It has been proposed that the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump of smooth muscle tissues may be regulated by cGMP-dependent phosphorylation [Popescu, L. M., Panoiu, C., Hinescu, M. & Nutu, O. (1985) Eur. J. Pharmacol. 107, 393-394; Furukawa, K. & Nakamura, H. (1987) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 101, 287-290]. This hypothesis has been tested on a smooth muscle sarcolemma preparation from pig thoracic aorta. The actomyosin-extracted membranes showed ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake as well as cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase) activity. The molecular masses of the major protein substrates of the G-kinase (G1) and that of the Ca2+ pump were compared. Electrophoretic analysis of the phosphorylated intermediate of the sarcolemmal Ca2+-ATPase and the G1 phosphoprotein showed that these two proteins are not identical. The results were confirmed by using a 125I-calmodulin overlay technique and an antibody against human erythrocyte Ca2+-ATPase. Ca2+-uptake experiments with prephosphorylated membrane vesicles were carried out to elucidate possible effects of cGMP-dependent phosphorylation of membrane proteins on the activity of the Ca2+ pump. The cGMP-dependent phosphorylation was found to be extremely sensitive to temperature leading to very low steady-state phosphorylation levels at 37 degrees C. The difficulty was overcome by ATP[gamma S], which produced full and stable thiophosphorylation of G1 during the Ca2+-uptake experiments at 37 degrees C. However, the cGMP-dependent thiophosphorylation failed to influence the Ca2+-uptake properties of sarcolemmal vesicles. The results show that the Ca2+ pump of smooth muscle plasma membrane is not a direct target of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase and is not regulated by the cGMP-dependent phosphorylation of membrane proteins.

cAMP modulates estrogen, hCG, and lactate syntheses by the human placenta. The major effects of cAMP are presumably mediated through the phosphorylation of specific regulatory phosphoproteins after cAMP activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. cAMP-dependent phosphoproteins have not been identified in the placenta. Homogenates and cytosol from term human placenta were subjected to an endogenous protein phosphorylation assay using [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence and absence of 1.0 microM cAMP. Protein phosphorylation was assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. cAMP stimulated 32P incorporation into proteins with mol wt of 25,000, 27,000, 39,000, 45,000, 52,000, 58,000, and 73,000 (P less than 0.02). Half-maximal 32P incorporation was observed with 1.0 X 10(-7) M cAMP, which was similar to the concentration required for half-maximal histone kinase activity (8.5 +/- 2.9 X 10(-8) M). cGMP induced 32P incorporation into the same placental proteins as cAMP, but 2 orders of magnitude greater cGMP concentrations were required to achieve phosphorylation levels similar to those caused by cAMP. cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor completely blocked cGMP-induced phosphorylation, even when histone protein was added. Therefore, no evidence of a cGMP-dependent protein kinase or specific cGMP-dependent phosphoproteins were detected. CaCl2 (10(-8) - 10(-4) M) had no effect on cAMP-induced 32P incorporation into the seven cAMP-dependent phosphoproteins. However calcium induced 32P incorporation into four other proteins (mol wt, 97,000, 90,000, 20,000, and 19,000). Regulation of placental metabolism by catecholamines and other hormones known to mediate intracellular cAMP or calcium levels may be accomplished by phosphorylation of these phosphoproteins.

Thiophosphorylation and phosphorylation of 5% perchloric acid extractable proteins from calf thymus chromatin were studied using a cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine lung and a nuclear protein kinase II from rat liver. The phosphorylation reaction catalyzed by nuclear protein kinase II utilized [gamma -35S]ATP as a phosphate donor almost as efficiently as [gamma -32P]ATP, but the cGMP-dependent protein kinase mediated phosphorylation by [35S]ATP was about 20 times less effective than that by [32P]ATP. In addition, using [35S]ATP instead of [32P]ATP changed markedly the cGMP-dependent phosphorylation pattern of the PCA-extractable proteins as examined by gel electrophoresis. Thus, depending on the type of protein kinase, the results from thiophosphorylation and phosphorylation reactions may vary considerably.

cGMP-dependent protein kinase binds 4 mol cGMP/mol enzyme to two different sites. Binding to site 1 (apparent Kd 17 nM) shows positive cooperativity and is inhibited by Mg . ATP, whereas binding to site 2 (apparent Kd 100-150 nM) is non-cooperative and not affected by Mg . ATP. Autophosphorylation of the enzyme abolishes the cooperative binding to site 1 and the inhibitory effect of Mg . ATP. The association (K1) and dissociation (K-1) rate constant for site 2 and K1 for site 1 are not affected significantly by Mg . ATP or autophosphorylation. The dissociation rate from site 1 measured in the presence of 1 mM unlabelled cGMP is decreased threefold and over tenfold by Mg . ATP and autophosphorylation, respectively. In contrast, the dissociation rate from site 1 measured after a 500-fold dilution of the enzyme-ligand complex is 100-fold faster than that determined in the presence of 1 mM cGMP and is only slightly influenced by Mg . ATP or autophosphorylation. Only Kd values calculated with the latter K-1 values are similar to the Kd values obtained by equilibrium binding. These results suggest that autophosphorylation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase affects mainly the binding characteristics of site 1.

Cyclic-GMP-dependent protein kinase contains two binding sites for cGMP, which have different affinities for cGMP. Autophosphorylation of the enzyme affects mainly the binding of cGMP to the 'high'-affinity site (site 1). The enzyme binds cAMP and cAMP stimulates the phosphotransferase activity of the native enzyme half-maximally at 44 microM. Autophosphorylation of the enzyme decreases the apparent Ka value to 7 microM. Autophosphorylation does not affect the catalytic rate of the enzyme if measured at a saturating concentration of ATP. Tritiated cAMP apparently binds at 4 degrees C to one site with a Kd value of 3 microM. Binding to the second site is not measurable. Autophosphorylation of the enzyme increases the affinity of the high-affinity site for cAMP sixfold (Kd 0.46 microM) and allows the detection of a second site. In accordance with these data the dissociation rate of [3H]cAMP from the high-affinity site is decreased from 4.5 min-1 to 1.2 min-1 by autophosphorylation. Experiments in which unlabeled cAMP competes with [3H] cGMP for the two binding sites confirmed these results. Recalculation of the competition curves by a computer program for two binding sites indicated that autophosphorylation decreases the Kd value for binding of cAMP to the high-affinity site from 1.9 microM to 0.17 microM. Autophosphorylation does not affect significantly the affinity for the second site. Kd values for site 2 varied from 17 microM to 40 microM. These results suggest that autophosphorylation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase increases the affinity of the enzyme for cAMP by affecting mainly the properties of binding site 1.

Using the activated cGMP-dependent protein kinase in the presence of the phosphorylatable peptide [[Ala34]histone H2B-(29-35)], we found that lin-benzoadenosine 5'-diphosphate (lin-benzo-ADP) was a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme with respect to ATP with a Ki (22 microM) similar to the Kd (20 microM) determined by fluorescence polarization titrations. The Kd for lin-benzo-ADP determined in the absence of the phosphorylatable peptide, however, was only 12 microM. ADP bound with lower affinity (Ki = 169 microM; Kd = 114 microM). With [Ala34]histone H2B-(29-35) as phosphoryl acceptor, the Km for lin-benzo-ATP was 29 microM, and that for ATP was 32 microM. The Vmax with lin-benzo-ATP, however, was only 0.06% of that with ATP as substrate [0.00623 +/- 0.00035 vs. 11.1 +/- 0.17 mumol (min.mg)-1]. Binding of lin-benzo-ADP to the kinase was dependent upon a divalent cation. Fluorescence polarization revealed that Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ supported nucleotide binding to the enzyme; Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+, however, did not support any measurable phosphotransferase activity. The rank order of metal ion effectiveness in mediating phosphotransferase activity was Mg2+ greater than Ni2+ greater than Co2+ greater than Mn2+. Although these results were similar to those observed with the cAMP-dependent protein kinase [Hartl, F. T., Roskoski, R., Jr., Rosendahl, M. S., & Leonard, N. J. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 2347], major differences in the Vmax with lin-benzo-ATP as substrate and the effect of peptide substrates on nucleotide (both lin-benzo-ADP and ADP) binding were observed.

The rate and equilibrium kinetics of [3H]cGMP binding to the two rapidly exchanging and two slowly exchanging sites of dimeric cGMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine lung were studied. As observed by McCune and Gill (McCune, R. W., and Gill, G. N. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 5083-5091), unlabeled cGMP retarded the dissociation of [3H]cGMP bound to the "slow" site. This effect was due to interaction of unlabeled cGMP with the "rapid" rather than the slow site. First, the potencies of unlabeled cGMP and a number of cGMP analogs correlated nearly perfectly with their affinities for the rapid site. Second, the rate of dissociation in the absence of unlabeled ligand was independent of the degree of saturation of the slow sites. Third, unlabeled ligand inhibited the rate of dissociation more (about 10-fold) than theoretically predicted (maximum 2-fold) from interaction between two similar sites in one macromolecule. A favorable free energy coupling appeared to exist between the rapid and slow sites but not between the slow sites. cGMP associated faster to the slow site than the rapid site. Mg/ATP decreased the rate of association to either site by 50% and increased about ten-fold the rate of dissociation from the slow site. The dissociation of cGMP from the slow site could be described by a single activation energy (Ea = 71 kJ X mol-1) for the whole temperature range (0-37 degrees C) tested. These data indicated that the cyclic nucleotide-binding sites of the cGMP-kinase are kinetically more homologous to those in the cAMP-dependent protein kinases than previously recognized.

Myosin light chain kinases (MLCK) are the most studied of the calmodulin-activated enzymes; however, minimal sequence information is available for the smooth muscle form of the enzyme. The production of an antibody against the enzyme and the use of expression vectors for constructing cDNA libraries have facilitated the isolation of a cDNA for this kinase. The derived amino sequence was found to contain a region of high homology (54%) to the rabbit skeletal muscle enzyme and also very significant homology (35%) to the catalytic subunit of phosphorylase b kinase and cGMP-dependent protein kinase. All of these homologies were found in the known catalytic domains of these enzyme, thus enabling us to predict the location of the catalytic domain for the chicken gizzard myosin light chain kinase. Within the catalytic domain a consensus sequence for an ATP-binding site was located. Subcloning and expression of different regions of the cDNA defined a 192 base pair fragment coding for the calmodulin-binding domain of MLCK. Both of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation sites were identified by sequence homology. A linear model for MLCK is presented placing the various domains in relative position. Northern blot analysis and S1 protection and mapping experiments have revealed that the mRNA for MLCK is 5.5 kilobases in length, but there also exists a second mRNA of 2.7 kilobases that shares a high degree of homology with about 520 base pairs at the 3' end of the cDNA for MLCK.

Plasma membrane (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPase purified from bovine aortic microsomes by calmodulin affinity chromatography was incorporated into soybean phospholipid liposomes. In the reconstituted proteoliposomes, a protein corresponding to the ATPase was phosphorylated by [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Both the affinity for Ca2+ and the maximum Ca2+ uptake activity by the proteoliposomes were increased by the cGMP-dependent phosphorylation, and there was good parallelism between the Ca2+-uptake rate and the extent of phosphorylation. These results strongly suggest that the Ca2+-transport ATPase of the vascular smooth muscle plasma membrane is regulated through its cGMP-dependent phosphorylation.

Membrane proteins of Mr 240,000, 130,000, and 85,000 (GS-proteins) were rapidly and selectively phosphorylated in particulate fractions of rabbit aortic smooth muscle in the presence of [Mg-32P]ATP and low concentrations of cGMP (Ka = 0.01 microM) or cAMP (Ka = 0.2 microM). The effects of both cyclic nucleotides in this preparation were mediated entirely by an endogenous, membrane-bound form of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase). The GS-proteins were also phosphorylated by the soluble form of G-kinase purified from bovine lung; this effect was most evident following removal of endogenous G-kinase from the membranes using Na2CO3 and high salt washes. The membrane-bound and cytosolic forms of G-kinase phosphorylated the Mr 130,000 GS-protein with the same specificity as determined by two-dimensional peptide mapping. Despite this functional homology between the two forms of G-kinase, only the particulate enzyme appears to play a role in phosphorylating the GS-proteins. Although little endogenous cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) activity was detected in washed aortic smooth muscle membranes, the GS-proteins could be phosphorylated when purified A-kinase catalytic subunit was added to this preparation. Peptide mapping of the Mr 130,000 GS-protein indicated that A-kinase phosphorylated a subset of the same peptides labeled by the two forms of G-kinase. The endogenous A-kinase of rabbit aortic smooth muscle homogenates was also found to phosphorylate the GS-proteins. Since the intracellular concentrations of cGMP or cAMP can be selectively elevated by different stimuli, these results suggest several possible mechanisms by which the phosphorylation state of the GS-proteins may be regulated by cyclic nucleotides: activation of the membrane-bound G-kinase by cGMP or cAMP; and activation of cytosolic A-kinase by cAMP.
