A protein that exhibits greater substrate specificity for cGMP-dependent protein kinase than for cAMP-dependent protein kinase has been purified 8,000-fold from cytosol of rabbit cerebellum to apparent homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein, termed G-substrate, is a monomer of 23,000 daltons. It is heterogeneous on isoelectric focusing, exhibiting three isoelectric forms over the pH range of 5.2-5.6 cGMP-dependent protein kinase catalyzes the incorporation of 2 mol of phosphate/mol of G-substrate, both into threonine residues. The protein has a high content of aspartate, glutamate, and proline. The hydrodynamic properties, heat stability, and acid solubility of this protein are consistent with an unfolded, nonglobular structure. G-substrate is localized primarily in the cytosol of cerebellum, although low concentrations of a phosphorylated protein with a similar molecular weight are detected in other brain regions.

Kinetic studies on the activity of purified cGMP-dependent protein kinase and catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase have been carried out using a protein termed G-substrate (see preceding paper) as the phosphate acceptor. Each enzyme catalyzed the phosphorylation of 2.0-2.1 mol of 32P/mol of G-substrate, with phosphorylation occurring primarily at threonine residues. When phosphorylation was carried out in the simultaneous presence of the two enzymes, the stoichiometry increased only slightly, to a value of 2.4, suggesting that both enzymes phosphorylated the same two sites. Initial rate studies on the phosphorylation of G-substrate by cGMP-dependent protein kinase yielded a Km of 0.21 microM and a Vmax of 2.2 mumol/min/mg. Similar studies with the cAMP-dependent protein kinase yielded a Km of 5.8 microM and a Vmax of 2.3 mumol/min/mg. cGMP-dependent protein kinase thus exhibited a high degree of specificity towards this substrate which was apparently based on selective substrate binding rather than catalytic efficacy. The activity of cGMP-dependent protein kinase towards G-substrate was maximal at pH 7.5-8.0 and a Mg2+ concentration of 1-3 mM. Activity declined sharply at high ionic strength (greater than 20 mM KCl).

The amino acid sequence around the site of the regulatory subunit of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (RI) that is phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase has been determined. This site was found to be located near the site on RI previously shown to be very sensitive to hydrolysis by trypsin (Potter, R. L., and Taylor, S. S. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 2413-2418). The primary sequence surrounding the site is as follows: -Lys-Ala-Gly-Ser-Arg-Ala-Asp-Ser-Arg-Glu-Asp-Glu-Ile-Ser-Pro-Pro-Pro-Pro-Asn-Pro-Val-Val-Lys-Gly-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Gly-Ala-Ile-Ser(P)-Ala-Glu-Val-Tyr-Thr-Glu-Glu-Asp-Ala-Ala-Ser-Tyr-Val-Arg-Lys-Val-Ile-Pro-Lys-Asp-Tyr-Lys-Thr-. As described previously (Geahlen, R. L., and Krebs, E. G. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 1164-1169), this site is specific for cGMP-dependent protein kinase and is not phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

The amino acid sequence at the ATP-binding site on the cGMP-dependent protein kinase has been determined. For this determination the enzyme was labeled covalently by 5'-p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyladenosine and fragmented using cyanogen bromide or digested by trypsin after succinylation. The 14C-labeled peptides were purified by gel filtration and high performance liquid chromatography. The amino acid sequence around the site was found to be: -Val-Glu-Leu-Val-Gln-Leu-Lys-Ser-Glu-Glu-Ser-Lys-Thr-Phe-Ala-Met-*Lys-Ile-Leu-Lys--Lys-Arg-His-Ile-Val-Asp-Thr-Arg-Gln-Gln-Glu-His-Ile-Arg-Ser-Glu-Lys-, in which *Lys is the lysine residue that was modified by the affinity reagent. When this sequence was compared with that of the ATP-binding site of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a high degree of structural homology was observed for this site in the two proteins.

Analogs of a synthetic heptapeptide substrate corresponding to the sequence around a phosphorylation site in histone H2B were used to assess the substrate specificity of cGMP-dependent protein kinase. cGMP-dependent kinase phosphorylated the oligopeptide Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32-Arg-Lys-Glu with favorable kinetic parameters as compared to those for cAMP-dependent kinase (Glass, D. B., and Krebs, E. G. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 9728-9738). The contribution of each amino acid to the ability of the peptide to be phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent or cAMP-dependent kinase was studied by replacement of individual residues and evaluation of the kinetic constants of the substituted peptides. Peptides containing acetylated lysine residues or nitroarginine residues were poor substrates for both kinases. Substitution of either arginine 29 or lysine 30 with alanine increased the Km values and decreased the Vmax values for both kinases. Substitution of lysine 34 with alanine increased the Vmax values for both kinases but did not affect the Km values for either enzyme. Substitution of the phosphorylatable serine with a threonine residue greatly depressed the Vmax for both kinases. Peptides in which arginine 31 or arginine 33 were replaced by an alanine residue revealed several apparent differences in the specificity requirements between cGMP-dependent and cAMP-dependent kinases.

An exposed "hinge" region of cGMP-dependent protein kinase is known to be susceptible to both limited proteolysis and autophosphorylation. A 91-residue fragment has been isolated from this region and its amino acid sequence has been compared with the analogous regions of the cAMP-dependent protein kinases. Although a resemblance among these sequences is not striking, the phosphorylation sites are in corresponding regions toward the NH2 termini, and there are indications of homology in the vicinity of their autophosphorylation sites. As in the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the site of autophosphorylation and the site of susceptibility to limited proteolysis are very near each other in the primary structure. The actual site of autophosphorylation (the underlined threonine residue in Pro-Arg-Thr-Thr-Arg) is quite different from those in the regulatory subunit of Type II cAMP-dependent kinase or the site in Type I regulatory subunit that can be phosphorylated by the cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

The substrate specificity of cGMP-dependent protein kinase has been investigated by examining the ability of the enzyme to phosphorylate a series of synthetic peptides that correspond to the amino acid sequence at its site of autophosphorylation. The undecapeptide Ile53-Gly-Pro-Arg-Thr-Thr58-Arg-Ala-Gln-Gly-Ile63 which corresponds to the sequence around threonine-58 in cGMP-dependent protein kinase (Takio, K., Smith, S.B., Walsh, K.A., Krebs, E.G., and Titani, K. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 5531-5536) was synthesized and tested as a substrate for that enzyme. It was phosphorylated to the extent of 1.0 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide. Analysis of the products of Edman degradation of the phosphopeptide indicated that only threonine-58 was phosphorylated, as is the case for the autophosphorylation reaction in the native enzyme. The peptide was phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase with a Km value of 578 +/- 25 microM and a Vmax of 0.069 +/- 0.003 mumol/min/mg of enzyme. This low Vmax value is consistent with the relatively slow rate of the autophosphorylation reaction. An analog peptide that contained serine in place of threonine-58 was also phosphorylated to 1.0 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide. That phosphopeptide contained only phosphoserine. The serine-containing analog peptide had a Km value similar to that of the parent peptide but was phosphorylated with a 70-fold higher Vmax value. Substitution of arginine-56 in the parent peptide by an alanine residue resulted in a peptide that was essentially not a substrate. Substitution of arginine-59, COOH-terminal to the phosphorylatable threonine, yielded a peptide with a Vmax similar to that of the parent peptide but a Km value of almost 22,000 microM. These results indicate that serine is a better phosphate-accepting residue than is threonine and that both arginine residues around the site of autophosphorylation are important specificity determinants for the cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

Endotoxin-associated protein (EP) from Salmonella typhi activated murine resident peritoneal macrophages to produce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Cells from both endotoxin nonresponder (C3H/HeJ) and the endotoxin responder (C3H/OuJ) mouse strains were activated by EP. This EP-induced prostaglandin E2 production was blocked by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor H-7 as well as the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, suggesting the involvement of both serine and threonine phosphorylation and tyrosine phosphorylation pathways in the activation of resident peritoneal macrophages by EP. Immunoblot analysis using antiphosphoserine and antiphosphothreonine antibodies showed that EP induced the serine and threonine phosphorylation of a 14-kDa protein (p14). This phosphorylation was not induced by phorbol myristic acid or by lipopolysaccharide endotoxin. Inhibitors of PKC, PKA, and PKG did not block the phosphorylation of p14. However, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor piceatannol blocked p14 serine and threonine phosphorylation, suggesting that this phosphorylation is dependent upon and preceded by a tyrosine phosphorylation step.

The phosphorylation of threonine residues in the catalytic core of several protein kinases is important for the functional integrity of these enzymes. The corresponding residues of cGMP-dependent protein kinase I alpha (cGMP kinase) are Thr-514 and/or Thr-516. The in vivo phosphorylation and functional role of these residues was studied. cGMP kinase was overexpressed and purified as a catalytically active and inactive enzyme in Sf9 insect cells and in Escherichia coli, respectively. The enzymological and physicochemical properties of the Sf9 cGMP kinase were indistinguishable from that of the purified bovine lung enzyme. The cysteines of cGMP kinase including Cys-518 were labeled with vinylpyridine. Amino acid sequencing and mass spectroscopy of the labeled peptides showed that Thr-516 was phosphorylated in the enzyme purified from Sf9 cells but not in that from E. coli. The functional importance of phosphothreonine-516 was investigated by substitution of Thr-516 by alanine (T516A) or by glutamate (T516E). Expression in insect cells of the T516A mutant resulted in a protein lacking detectable kinase activity, whereas the T516E mutant retained basal phosphotransferase activity. In E. coli, the exchange of Thr-516 by glutamate did not lead to the synthesis of a catalytically active enzyme. These results demonstrate that phosphothreonine-516 of cGMP kinase is crucial for the formation of an enzymatically active protein kinase.

gamma-Aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunits (GABAA) can be divided into five classes, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and rho, based on sequence homology. We have used purified fusion proteins of the major intracellular domain of GABAA receptor subunits produced in Escherichia coli to examine the phosphorylation of these subunits by cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and multifunctional calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CAM KII). Both PKG and CAM KII phosphorylated a purified beta 1 subunit fusion. Both of these kinases phosphorylated serine 409 within the beta 1 subunit; in addition, CAM KII also phosphorylated serine 384 as determined by site-specific mutagenesis. Fusion proteins of the major intracellular domains of the gamma 2S and gamma 2L subunits were produced. These proteins differ by 8 amino acids (LLRMFSFK). Both the gamma 2L and gamma 2S fusion proteins were excellent substrates of CAM KII. However, the gamma 2L fusion protein was phosphorylated to higher stoichiometry due to the phosphorylation of serine 343 within this 8-amino acid insertion. Both the gamma 2L and gamma 2S subunits were phosphorylated on common residues by CAM KII identified as serine 348 and threonine 350. These results identify specific sites of phosphorylation for CAM KII and PKG within GABAA receptor subunits, suggesting a role for these two kinases in modulating GABAA receptor function in vivo.
