Phosphorylation of pure fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase:fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from bovine heart by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C was investigated. The major enzyme form (subunit Mr of 58,000) was rapidly phosphorylated by both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C, incorporating 0.8 and 1.0 mol/mol of subunit, respectively. The rate of phosphorylation of the heart enzyme by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was 10 times faster than that of the rat liver enzyme. The minor enzyme (subunit Mr of 54,000), however, was phosphorylated only by protein kinase C and was phosphorylated much more slowly with a phosphate incorporation of less than 0.1 mol/mol of subunit. Phosphorylation by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase C activated the enzyme, but each phosphorylation affected different kinetic parameters. Phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase lowered the Km value for fructose 6-phosphate from 87 to 42 microM without affecting the Vmax, whereas the phosphorylation by protein kinase C increased the Vmax value from 55 to 85 milliunits/mg without altering the Km value. The phosphorylated peptides were isolated, and their amino acid sequences were determined. The phosphorylation sites for both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C were located in a single peptide whose sequence was Arg-Arg-Asn-Ser-(P)-Phe-Thr-Pro-Leu-Ser-Ser-Ser-Asn-Thr(P)-Ile-Arg-Arg-Pro. The seryl residue nearest the N terminus was the residue specifically phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, whereas the threonine residue nearest the C terminus was phosphorylated by protein kinase C.

This study investigated the effect of pretreatment with the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on arginine-induced glucagon secretion. Isolated islets of Langerhans were pretreated by culturing for 18-24 h in the presence of 200 nM of the tumour-promoting phorbol ester PMA or 200 nM of the non-tumour-promoting phorbol ester 4-phorbol didecanoate (PDD). Islets pretreated with PMA did not secrete glucagon in response to 0.1 or 1 microM PMA on subsequent incubation, in contrast to PDD-pretreated islets which responded significantly on subsequent incubation with PMA. Pretreatment with PMA led to impairment of arginine-induced glucagon secretion. PMA-pretreated islets permeabilized by high-voltage discharge retained their normal secretory responses to calcium and cyclic AMP, but had an impaired secretory response to PMA. These results suggest (1) that protein kinase C (PKC) is likely to be present in the A cell, (2) that short-term culture in tumour-promoting phorbol ester leads to down-regulation of PKC, (3) that the PKC pathway is involved in arginine-induced glucagon secretion and (4) that pretreatment does not effect the A cell response to other intracellular mediators.

The roles of calcium, cyclic AMP (cAMP), activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and the effect of ATP on glucagon secretion were investigated in intact and permeabilized rat islets of Langerhans, Ca2+ (10 nM-10 microM) stimulated glucagon secretion from electrically permeabilized islets in a dose-dependent manner. Forskolin and cAMP stimulated secretion from intact and permeabilized islets respectively, the latter at both sub-stimulatory (50 nM) and stimulatory (10 microM) Ca2+ concentrations. The tumour-promoting phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) increased secretion from both intact and permeabilized islets. In the latter, PMA increased glucagon release at both Ca2+ concentrations, the effect being enhanced at the stimulatory Ca2+ concentration, over and above that caused by Ca2+ alone. Reduction of ATP content by incubation with the metabolic inhibitor 2,4-dinitrophenol resulted in an increased basal release of glucagon from intact islets, whilst arginine-induced glucagon secretion was abolished in both intact and permeabilized islets. Ca2+-induced glucagon secretion required MgATP in the permeabilized islets of Langerhans. These results suggest that Ca2+ acts as an initiator of glucagon secretion, whilst cAMP and activation of PKC may exert their effect as modulators of secretion. ATP is required for glucagon secretion in electrically permeabilized islets and is necessary for arginine-induced glucagon secretion in both intact and permeabilized islets.

1. The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) stimulates fatty acid synthesis from glucose in isolated adipocytes with a half-maximal effect at 0.72 microM. In seven batches of cells, the maximal effects of TPA and insulin were 8.5 +/- 1.1-fold and 27.1 +/- 2.1-fold respectively. Insulin also stimulated fatty acid synthesis from acetate 8.9 +/- 0.5-fold (three experiments), but TPA did not significantly increase fatty acid synthesis from this precursor. 2. In contrast to insulin, TPA treatment of isolated adipocytes did not produce an activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase which was detectable in crude cell extracts. 3. The total phosphate content of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, isolated from adipocytes in the presence of protein phosphatase inhibitors, was estimated by 32P-labelling experiments to be 2.6 +/- 0.1 (5), 3.4 +/- 0.2 (5), and 3.8 +/- 0.2 (3) mol/mol subunit for enzyme from control, insulin- and TPA-treated cells respectively. Insulin and TPA stimulated phosphorylation within the same two tryptic peptides. 4. Purified acetyl-CoA carboxylase is phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C at serine residues which are recovered in three tryptic peptides, i.e. peptide T1, which appears to be identical with the peptide Ser-Ser(P)-Met-Ser-Gly-Leu-His-Leu-Val-Lys phosphorylated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, and peptides Ta and Tb, which have the sequences Ile-Asp-Ser(P)-Gln-Arg and Lys-Ile-Asp-Ser(P)-Gln-Arg respectively, and which appear to be derived from a single site by alternative cleavages. None of these correspond to the peptides whose 32P-labelling increase in response to insulin or TPA. Peptides Ta/Tb are not significantly phosphorylated in isolated adipocytes, even after insulin or TPA treatment. Peptide T1 is phosphorylated in isolated adipocytes, but this phosphorylation is not altered by insulin or TPA. 5. These results show that TPA mimics the effect of insulin on phosphorylation, but not activation, of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, i.e. that these two events can be dissociated. In addition, phorbol ester stimulates phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in isolated adipocytes, but this is not catalyzed directly by protein kinase C, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase does not appear to be a physiological substrate for this kinase.

Many types of peptide hormone and neurotransmitter receptors mediate hydrolysis of phosphoinositides (PI) and arachidonic acid and arachidonic acid metabolite (AA) release, but the relation between these responses is not clearly defined. We have characterized bradykinin (BK)-mediated AA release and PI hydrolysis in clonal Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK-D1). Both responses occurred over a similar dose range in response to the B1 and B2 receptor agonist, BK, but not in response to the B1 receptor-selective agonist des-Arg-BK. To test whether AA release occurs via a mechanism which is sequential to and dependent upon PI hydrolysis, we used the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), which activates protein kinase C. TPA treatment blocked BK-mediated PI hydrolysis in MDCK-D1 cells, while at the same time and at similar concentrations enhancing BK-mediated AA release. Thus, TPA treatment dissociated BK-mediated AA release from PI hydrolysis. In addition, treatment of MDCK-D1 cells with neomycin blocked BK-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate without reducing BK-mediated AA release. BK treatment increased formation of lysophospholipids with a time course in accord with BK-mediated AA release, indicating that at least part of the BK-mediated AA release was likely derived from activation of phospholipase A2. BK-mediated lysophospholipid production was enhanced by pretreatment with TPA, suggesting that the mechanism of AA release before and after treatment with TPA was the same. BK-mediated AA release and lysophospholipid production was dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium, while the enhanced responses to BK in the presence of TPA were not dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium. TPA treatment also enhanced AA release and lysophospholipid production in response to the calcium ionophore A23187. From these data we propose that BK, acting at B2 receptors, promotes AA release in MDCK cells via a mechanism which is 1) independent of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis by phospholipase C, 2) dependent upon influx of extracellular calcium and activation of phospholipase A2, and 3) enhanced by activation of protein kinase C.

The secretory and aggregation responses of stirred platelets exposed to complement proteins C5b-9 was investigated. C5b-9 assembly on the platelet surface resulted in the release of dense granule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) accompanied by a decrease in sample turbidity, but no detectable cell lysis. Inhibition of cellular protein kinase C completely blocked the C5b-9 initiated release of ATP, confirming the secretory nature of this response. Addition of fibrinogen (up to 1 mg/mL) had no effect on either the release of ATP or the decreased turbidity observed for C5b-9 cells. Addition of the peptides Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) and fibrinogen gamma-chain carboxyl-terminal (gamma 397-411) at concentrations sufficient to completely block fibrinogen binding to GP IIb-IIIa had no effect on either C5b-9 induced dense granule secretion or the associated turbidity change. Microscopic examination and electronic particle counting of the stirred platelet suspensions confirmed that no aggregation of C5b-9 platelets occurred even when these cells were stirred in the presence of fibrinogen. The capacity of the C5b-9 proteins to initiate platelet secretion without activation of cell surface glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa suggests a mechanism for intravascular dissemination of activated platelets during complement activation in vivo.

The phosphorylation of histone by purified protein kinase C (PK-C) from rat brain is dependent on the presence of Ca2+ and lipids. Phosphorylation of a synthetic random polymer of arginine and serine (3:1) is only moderately enhanced by Ca2+ and lipids, but it is greatly enhanced in the absence of Ca2+ and lipids by a contaminant in crystalline bovine serum albumin or by heated cellular fractions. The phosphorylation ratio of histone to poly(arginine,serine) varies between different PK-C fractions from brains of rat, pig, or lamb. These variations are partly caused by a PK-C isozyme that prefers poly(arginine,serine) over histone as substrate. The kinase activator (KA) was partly purified from bovine serum albumin and from extracts of plasma membranes of human placenta. KA is also present in mitochondria, nuclei, and the cytosol. Sulfates and phosphates at 10 mM substitute for KA with poly(arginine,serine) as substrate. The phosphorylation of histone III in the presence of Ca2+ and lipids is moderately stimulated by KA, but the phosphorylation of lamin B and some other endogenous proteins is greatly enhanced by KA. With histones as substrates, inorganic anions do not stimulate phosphorylation. The phosphorylation of poly-(arginine,serine) is very sensitive to low concentrations of staurosporin and is inhibited by PK-C antibody, but, in contrast to histone phosphorylation, it is resistant to sphingosine and polymyxin B. The poly(arginine,serine) phosphorylating activity is more stable at 4 degrees C than the histone phosphorylating activity, but the latter is stabilized by 0.05% Triton X-100.

Treatment of isolated hepatocytes with the tumor-promoting agent, 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA) produced a time- and dose-dependent, non-competitive inhibition of alpha 1-adrenergic responses, including the activation of phosphorylase, increase in Ca2+ efflux, increase in free cytosolic Ca2+, and release of myo-inositol-1,4,5-P3. The actions of [8-arginine] vasopressin (AVP) on liver cells were also inhibited by PMA, but the inhibition could be overcome by high AVP concentrations. No significant inhibition of beta-adrenergic and glucagon-mediated activation of phosphorylase was induced by PMA and no inhibitory or synergistic effects of PMA were observed on the dose-dependent activation of phosphorylase by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. In radioligand binding studies, PMA did not directly interfere with [3H]prazosin specific binding, the displacement of [3H]prazosin by (-)-norepinephrine nor with [3H]AVP specific binding to purified liver plasma membranes. Plasma membranes prepared from livers perfused with PMA exhibited a 30-44% reduction in [3H]prazosin binding capacity. Under identical conditions [3H]AVP binding was unchanged. The alpha 1-receptors remaining in membranes from PMA-treated livers had equivalent affinities for [3H]prazosin and (-)-norepinephrine, and were unaffected in terms of coupling to guanine nucleotide-regulating proteins as indicated by the ability of guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate to promote the conversion of the remaining alpha 1-receptors into a low affinity state. These data indicate that tumor promoters are potent antagonists of alpha 1-adrenergic and vasopressin (low dose) responses in liver. It is proposed that PMA acting via protein kinase C (which presumably mediates the action of PMA) exerts its inhibitory action on alpha 1-adrenergic responses at the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor itself and also at a site close to or before myo-inositol-1,4,5-P3 release.

We designed a simple procedure for the purification of Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) from rabbit brain, using affinity chromatography with a new affinity adsorbent. The adsorbent was synthesized by attaching the amino residue of N-(2-aminoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (H-9) to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose. H-9 is a potent competitive inhibitor of protein kinase C, cGMP-, and cAMP-dependent protein kinase with respect to ATP and exhibits inhibition constants of 18, 0.87, and 1.9 microM, respectively (Hidaka, H., Inagaki, M., Kawamoto, S., and Sasaki, Y. (1984) Biochemistry, 23, 5036). A 960-fold purification was achieved in the two-step procedure, which entailed DEAE-cellulose and the affinity chromatography. The resultant preparation was essentially homogeneous, as indicated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under conditions of denaturation with sodium dodecyl sulfate. The affinity of protein kinase C for the H-9-Sepharose was high, and the enzyme could not be eluted either by a high concentration of sodium chloride or by 40% glycerol. The protein kinase C could be eluted from H-9-Sepharose by the buffer containing both 0.2 M NaCl and 20% glycerol, thereby suggesting that the binding between protein kinase C and H-9-Sepharose was due to both hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. H-9 coupled to Sepharose retained both cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases and protein kinase C, and these enzymes could be eluted separately by the buffer containing L-arginine, a potent inhibitor of these three kinases. The novel aspects of these three multifunctional protein kinases can thus be investigated using isoquinolinesulfonamide derivatives.

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.
