The structure of the cyclic GMP-binding domain of the cyclic GMP-gated ion channel from bovine retinal rod photoreceptors has been modeled by analogy to the crystal structure of the homologous cyclic AMP-binding domain of catabolite gene activator protein (CAP). The modeled cyclic GMP-binding domain has a three-residue deletion and a five-residue insertion between beta strands compared to CAP. The major interactions of the ion channel with cyclic GMP are similar to those observed for cyclic AMP bound to CAP and predicted for cGMP bound to the cGMP-dependent protein kinase: Gly 543 and Glu 544 make hydrogen-bond interactions with the ribose 2'-OH, Arg 559 forms an ion pair with the charged phosphate oxygen, and Thr 560 forms hydrogen-bond interactions with an exocyclic phosphate oxygen and with the 2-amino group of cGMP. Three additional potential interactions were predicted from the model structure. Ile 545 O and Ser 546 OH form hydrogen-bond interactions with an exocyclic phosphate oxygen, and Phe 533 may interact with the aromatic ring of cGMP. This model is in agreement with both the analogue binding experiments and the mutational analysis of Thr 560.

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.

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.

The specificities of cAMP-dependent and cGMP-dependent protein kinases were studied using synthetic peptides corresponding to the phosphorylation site in 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase (Murray, K.J., El-Maghrabi, M.R., Kountz, P.D., Lukas, T.J., Soderling, T.R., and Pilkis, S.J. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 7673-7681) as substrates. The peptide Val-Leu-Gln-Arg-Arg-Arg-Gly-Ser-Ser-Ile-Pro-Gln was phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase on predominantly the first of its 2 seryl residues. The Km (4 microM) and Vmax (14 mumol/min/mg) values were comparable to those for the phosphorylation of this site within native 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase. An analog peptide containing only two arginines was phosphorylated with poorer kinetic constants than was the parent peptide. These results suggest that the amino acid sequence at its site of phosphorylation is a major determinant that makes 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase an excellent substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Although 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase was not phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase, the synthetic peptide corresponding to the cAMP-dependent phosphorylation site was a relatively good substrate (Km = 33 microM, Vmax = 1 mumol/min/mg). Thus, structures other than the primary sequence at the phosphorylation site must be responsible for the inability of cGMP-dependent protein kinase to phosphorylate native 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase. Peptides containing either a -Ser-Ser- or -Thr-Ser- moiety were all phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent kinase to 1.0 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide, but the phosphate was distributed between the two hydroxyamino acids. Substitution of a proline in place of the glycine between the three arginines and these phosphorylatable amino acids caused the protein kinase selectively to phosphorylate the threonyl or first seryl residue and also enhanced the Vmax values by 4-6-fold. These results are consistent with a role for proline in allowing an adjacent threonyl residue to be readily phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

Two murine monoclonal antibodies (H5 and B6) generated against bovine heart type II regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase were shown to cross-react equally well with the homologous subunit from porcine heart. The antibodies demonstrated specificity for only the type II regulatory subunit and showed negligible cross-reactivity with the type I regulatory subunit, the catalytic subunit, and cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Following limited proteolysis of type II regulatory subunit with chymotrypsin, the H5 monoclonal antibody was shown to cross-react with the Mr = 37,000 cAMP-binding domain corresponding to the COOH-terminal region of the polypeptide chain. To more specifically localize the antigenic sites, the porcine type II regulatory subunit was carboxymethylated and cleaved with cyanogen bromide. Both monoclonal antibodies cross-reacted with the NH2-terminal CNBr peptide, and this peptide demonstrated affinities similar to native bovine type II regulatory subunit in competitive displacement radioimmunoassays. Tryptic cleavage of this CNBr fragment destroyed all antigenicity for both monoclonal antibodies, whereas antigenicity was retained following chymotryptic digestion. A single major immunoreactive chymotryptic fragment that cross-reacted with H5 was isolated by gel filtration and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. this peptide retained the complete antigenic site and had the following sequence: Asn-Pro-Asp-Glu-Glu-Glu-Glu-Asp-Thr-Asp-Pro-Arg-Val-Ile-His-Pro-Lys-Thr-Asp-Gl n. This antigenic site was localized just beyond the major site of autophosphorylation, approximately a third of the distance from the NH2-terminal end of the polypeptide chain.

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.

The signaling pathways mediating relaxation by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), peptide histidine-isoleucine amide (PHI), isoproterenol (ISO), and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were examined in dispersed rabbit and guinea pig gastric muscle cells. In rabbit muscle cells, SNP stimulated only guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cG-kinase) activity; VIP stimulated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and cGMP, and both cG-kinase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cA-kinase) activities; PHI and ISO stimulated only cAMP and cA-kinase activity, and at higher concentrations, cross-activated cG-kinase. All four agents elicited concentration-dependent relaxation. N-[2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (H-89; 1 microM) selectively inhibited cA-kinase activity and abolished relaxation when only cA-kinase was elevated. 8R,9S, 11S-(-)-9-methoxy-carbamyl-8-methyl-2,3,9,10-tetrahydro-8,11-epoxy- 1H,8H,11H-2,7b,11a-trizadibenzo-(a,g)-cy-cloocta-(c,d,e)- trinden-1-one (KT-5823; 1 microM) selectively inhibited cG-kinase activity and abolished relaxation when only cG-kinase was elevated. When both kinases were elevated, H-89 and KT-5823 partially inhibited relaxation and abolished relaxation in combination. In permeabilized guinea pig and rabbit muscle cells, all agents elicited relaxation and inhibited inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release. Both functions were inhibited in parallel fashion by protein kinase inhibitor PKI(6-22) and by KT-5823. We conclude that cA-kinase and cG-kinase act separately and in concert to inhibit IP3-dependent Ca2+ release and induce relaxation.

The cDNA for a membrane-associated cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK II) was cloned from rat intestine using reverse transcriptase PCR and oligonucleotide primers encoding two conserved motifs of known cGMP-dependent protein kinases and subsequently by screening a rat intestine cDNA library. A full-length clone encodes a protein of 761 amino acids with an estimated size of 87 kDa. Sequences of eight peptides from purified pig intestinal mucosa cGK II were found in the derived amino acid sequence of this clone, identifying it as rat intestinal cGK II. Phylogenetic analysis showed that rat intestinal cGK II is less related to mammalian cGK I than to the Drosophila DG1 gene product and most closely related to a recently cloned mouse brain CGKII isoform. Like several other cGK sequences, that of cGK II contained a leucine/isoleucine heptad repeat motif that has been implicated in dimer formation in cGK I. Expression of cGK II cDNA in HEK 293 cells followed by subcellular fractionation revealed cGK II localization in the cell particulate fraction, consistent with the membrane association of endogenous rat cGK II. On Northern blots, the major cGK II poly(A) RNA form was 4.8 kb, with minor forms of 6.2 and 3.1 kb. The cGK II RNA was highly expressed in rat intestinal mucosa and was 20 times less abundant in rat brain and kidney. The localization of endogenous cGK II RNA in rat small intestine was shown by in situ hybridization to be in villous epithelial cells and to some extent in crypt cells.

6-Pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS) participates in tetrahydrobiopterin cofactor biosynthesis. We previously identified in a PTPS-deficient patient an inactive PTPS allele with an Arg(16) to Cys codon mutation. Arg(16) is located in the protein surface exposed phosphorylation motif Arg(16)-Arg-Ile-Ser, with Ser(19) as the putative phosphorylation site for serine-threonine protein kinases. Purification of recombinant PTPS-S19A from bacterial cells resulted in an active enzyme (k(cat)/K(m) = 6.4 x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1)), which was similar to wild-type PTPS (k(cat)/K(m) = 4.1 x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1)). In assays with purified enzymes, wild-type but not PTPS-S19A was a specific substrate for the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK) type I and II. Upon expression in COS-1 cells, PTPS-S19A was stable but not phosphorylated and had a reduced activity of approximately 33% in comparison to wild-type PTPS. Extracts from several human cell lines, including brain, contained a kinase that bound to and phosphorylated immobilized wild-type, but not mutant PTPS. Addition of cGMP stimulated phosphotransferase activity 2-fold. Extracts from transfected COS-1 cells overexpressing cGKII stimulated Ser(19) phosphorylation more than 100-fold, but only 4-fold from cGKI overexpressing cells. Moreover, fibroblast extracts from mice lacking cGKII exhibited significantly reduced phosphorylation of PTPS. These results suggest that Ser(19) of human PTPS may be a substrate for cGKII phosphorylation also in vivo, a modification that is essential for normal activity.
