Studies in the past several years have provided direct evidence that protein phosphorylation is involved in the regulation of neuronal function. Electrophysiological experiments have demonstrated that three distinct classes of protein kinases, i.e., cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, and CaM kinase II, modulate physiological processes in neurons. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and kinase C have been shown to modify potassium and calcium channels, and CaM kinase II has been shown to enhance neurotransmitter release. A large number of substrates for these protein kinases have been found in neurons. In some cases (e.g., tyrosine hydroxylase, acetylcholine receptor, sodium channel) these proteins have a known function, whereas most of these proteins (e.g., synapsin I) had no known function when they were first identified as phosphoproteins. In the case of synapsin I, evidence now suggests that it regulates neurotransmitter release. These studies of synapsin I suggest that the characterization of previously unknown neuronal phosphoproteins will lead to the elucidation of previously unknown regulatory processes in neurons.

Tyrosine hydroxylase purified from rat pheochromocytoma is phosphorylated rapidly by the Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) purified from rat or sheep brain. Phosphorylation was stimulated 14-fold by Ca2+ and phosphatidylserine and occurred at a rate comparable with that of the phosphorylation of histone Hl. The phospholipid-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates a single site which is identical to that phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and to the secondary site of phosphorylation by the calmodulin-dependent multiprotein kinase. The implications of these results with respect to the regulation of catecholamine biosynthesis in adrenal medulla are discussed.

Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) increased the production of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat. This effect occurred without a detectable lag and persisted for at least 90 min of incubation. The action of PDBu was half-maximal at a concentration of approximately 0.1 microM; at high concentrations, PDBu produced about a twofold increase in DOPA accumulation. PDBu increased DOPA production in decentralized ganglia and in ganglia incubated in a Ca2+-free medium. The action of PDBu was additive with the actions of dimethylphenylpiperazinium, muscarine, and 8-Br-cyclic AMP, all of which also increase DOPA accumulation, and was not inhibited by the cholinergic antagonists hexamethonium (3 mM) and atropine (6 microM). Finally, PDBu did not increase the content of cyclic AMP in the ganglion. Thus, the action of PDBu does not appear to be mediated by the release of neurotransmitters from preganglionic nerve terminals, by the stimulation of cholinergic receptors in the ganglion, or by an increase in ganglionic cyclic AMP. PDBu also increased the incorporation of 32Pi into tyrosine hydroxylase. PDBu activates protein kinase C, which in turn may phosphorylate tyrosine hydroxylase and increase the rate of DOPA synthesis in the ganglion.

The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) caused phosphorylation of phosphoproteins of 56-kDa which co-migrated with and had identical pI values to subunits of tyrosine hydroxylase. The phosphorylation was closely correlated with an increase of [3H]3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) production which is a reflection of increased tyrosine hydroxylase activity. Only those phorbol esters which activate protein kinase C induced phosphorylation of the 56-kDa proteins and increased [3H]DOPA production. Neither TPA-induced phosphorylation of the 56-kDa proteins nor TPA-induced enhancement of [3H] DOPA production required extracellular Ca2+. TPA caused increases in phosphorylation of the 56-kDa proteins and increases in [3H]DOPA production over similar concentration ranges (10-1000 nM). TPA did not increase cellular cAMP. The data suggest that phorbol ester-induced phosphorylation of intracellular tyrosine hydroxylase, possibly by protein kinase C, results in increased tyrosine hydroxylase activity.

As reported previously [Vulliet et al. (1985) FEBS Lett. 182 335-339], tyrosine hydroxylase purified from rat pheochromocytoma is phosphorylated at an identical site (site A) by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, the calmodulin-dependent multiprotein kinase and protein kinase C, while the calmodulin-dependent multiprotein kinase also phosphorylates another unique site (site C). Preparations of tyrosine hydroxylase purified from this source are also contaminated with traces of a fourth protein kinase which phosphorylates another unique site (site E). We have isolated tryptic peptides containing each of these sites and determined their amino acid sequences. By comparison of these data with the known cDNA sequence for rat tyrosine hydroxylase, we have been able to identify these sites as Ser-8 (site E), Ser-19 (site C), and Ser-40 (site A). In some preparations of tyrosine hydroxlyase, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase also phosphorylated a secondary site which was identified as ser-153. All of these phosphorylation sites are in the amino-terminal region, where there is no significant homology with the closely related enzyme, phenylalanine hydroxylase. Our data also establish that the initiator methionine is removed by post-translational processing to leave pro-2 as the amino-terminus of the mature protein. The significance of these results for the mechanism of action of extracellular signals on catecholamine biosynthesis is discussed.

Incubation of rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells with 4 beta-phorbol-12 beta-myristate-13 alpha-acetate (PMA), an activator of Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C), or forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, is associated with increased activity and enhanced phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase. Neither the activation nor increased phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase produced by PMA is dependent on extracellular Ca2+. Both activation and phosphorylation of the enzyme by PMA are inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with trifluoperazine (TFP). Treatment of PC12 cells with 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol also leads to increases in the phosphorylation and enzymatic activity of tyrosine hydroxylase; 1,2-diolein and 1,3-diolein are ineffective. The effects of forskolin on the activation and phosphorylation of the enzyme are independent of Ca2+ and are not inhibited by TFP. Forskolin elicits an increase in cyclic AMP levels in PC12 cells. The increases in both cyclic AMP content and the enzymatic activity and phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase following exposure of PC12 cells to different concentrations of forskolin are closely correlated. In contrast, cyclic AMP levels do not increase in cells treated with PMA. Tryptic digestion of the phosphorylated enzyme isolated from untreated cells yields four phosphopeptides separable by HPLC. Incubation of the cells in the presence of the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin increases the phosphorylation of three of these tryptic peptides. However, in cells treated with either PMA or forskolin, there is an increase in the phosphorylation of only one of these peptides derived from tyrosine hydroxylase. The peptide phosphorylated in PMA-treated cells is different from that phosphorylated in forskolin-treated cells. The latter peptide is identical to the peptide phosphorylated in dibutyryl cyclic AMP-treated cells. These results indicate that tyrosine hydroxylase is activated and phosphorylated on different sites in PC12 cells exposed to PMA and forskolin and that phosphorylation of either of these sites is associated with activation of tyrosine hydroxylase. The results further suggest that cyclic AMP-dependent and Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinases may play a role in the regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase in PC12 cells.

In rat striatal synaptosomes, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), two activators of Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) increased dopamine (DA) synthesis measured by following the release of 14CO2 from L-[1-14C] tyrosine. Maximal stimulation (21-28% increase of basal rate) was produced by 0.5 microM PMA and 1 microM PDBu. 4 beta-Phorbol and 4 beta-phorbol 13-acetate, which are not activators of protein kinase C, were ineffective at 1 microM. PMA did not change the release of 14CO2 from L-[1-14C]DOPA. Addition of 1 mM EGTA to a Ca2+-free incubation medium failed to affect PMA stimulation. KC1 (60 mM) enhanced DA synthesis by 25%. Exposure of synaptosomes to either PMA or PDBu prior to KC1 addition resulted in a more than additive increase (80-100%) of DA synthesis. A similar synergistic effect was observed when the phorbol diesters were combined with either veratridine or d-amphetamine but not with forskolin and dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Pretreatment of striatal synaptosomes with phorbol diesters produced an activation on of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) associated with a 60% increase of the Vmax and a decrease of the Km for the pterine cofactor 6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin. These results indicate that protein kinase C participates in the regulation of striatal TH in situ and that its activation may act synergistically with DA releasing agents in stimulating DA synthesis.

Electrical stimulation of the preganglionic cervical sympathetic trunk increases the phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat by a nicotinic mechanism and by a noncholinergic mechanism. We have measured the incorporation of [32P]Pi into specific tryptic phosphopeptides in tyrosine hydroxylase in order to identify the protein kinases that phosphorylate this enzyme in electrically stimulated ganglia. 32P-labeled tyrosine hydroxylase was isolated from the ganglion by immunoprecipitation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and was subjected to tryptic hydrolysis. Seven tryptic peptides were resolved from these hydrolysates by two-dimensional thin-layer electrophoresis and chromatography. Preganglionic stimulation (20 Hz, 5 min) increased the incorporation of 32P into four of these peptides. In the presence of cholinergic antagonists, however, electrical stimulation increased the labeling of only one phosphopeptide. From a comparison of the effects of preganglionic stimulation with the effects of agonists that activate specific protein kinases, we conclude that electrical stimulation increases the phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase by both a cAMP-dependent protein kinase and a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. The nicotinic component of preganglionic stimulation appears to be mediated by a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, while the noncholinergic component appears to be mediated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Although protein kinase C can phosphorylate tyrosine hydroxylase, this kinase does not appear to participate in the stimulation-induced phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase in the superior cervical ganglion.

Chromaffin cells were isolated from bovine adrenal medullae and maintained in primary culture. After prelabeling with 32PO4, exposure of the chromaffin cells to acetylcholine increased the phosphorylation of a Mr approximately equal to 100,000 protein and a Mr approximately equal to 60,000 protein (tyrosine hydroxylase), visualized after separation of total cellular proteins in naDodSO4/polyacrylamide gels. Immunoprecipitation with antibodies to three known phosphoproteins ("100-kDa," "87-kDa," and protein III) revealed an acetylcholine-dependent phosphorylation of these proteins. These three proteins were also shown to be present in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells by immunolabeling techniques. "100-kDa" is a Mr approximately equal to 100,000 protein selectively phosphorylated by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase III, "87-kDa" is a Mr approximately equal to 87,000 protein selectively phosphorylated by protein kinase C, and protein III is a phosphoprotein doublet of Mr approximately equal to 74,000 (IIIa) and Mr approximately equal to 55,000 (IIIb) phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I. Furthermore, 100-kDa was shown to be identical to the Mr approximately equal to 100,000 protein whose phosphorylation was increased by acetylcholine treatment. The acetylcholine-dependent increase in phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase, 100-kDa, 87-kDa, and protein III required extracellular calcium and was mimicked by nicotine, veratridine, elevated K+, and calcium ionophore A23187, but not by muscarine. In addition, forskolin increased the phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase, 100-kDa, and protein III, but not that of 87-kDa. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate increased the phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase, 87-kDa, and protein III, but not that of 100-kDa. The data demonstrate that cholinergic activation of chromaffin cells increases the phosphorylation of several proteins and that several protein kinase systems may be involved in these effects.

Stimulation of rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells with ionophore A23187, carbachol, or high K+ medium, agents which increase intracellular Ca2+, results in the phosphorylation and activation of tyrosine hydroxylase (Nose, P., Griffith, L. C., and Schulman, H. (1985) J. Cell Biol. 101, 1182-1190). We have identified three major protein kinases in PC12 cells and investigated their roles in the Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase and other cytosolic proteins. A set of PC12 proteins were phosphorylated in response to both elevation of intracellular Ca2+ and to protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase) activators. In addition, distinct sets of proteins responded to either one or the other stimulus. The three major regulatory kinases, the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and protein kinase C all phosphorylate tyrosine hydroxylase in vitro. Neither the agents which increase Ca2+ nor the agents which directly activate kinase C (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate or 1-oleyl-2-acetylglycerol) increase cAMP or activate the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, thereby excluding this pathway as a mediator of these stimuli. The role of protein kinase C was assessed by long term treatment of PC12 cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, which causes its "desensitization." In cells pretreated in this manner, agents which increase Ca2+ influx continue to stimulate tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation maximally, while protein kinase C activators are completely ineffective. Comparison of tryptic peptide maps of tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylated by the three protein kinases in vitro with phosphopeptide maps generated from tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylated in vivo indicates that phosphorylation by the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase most closely mirrors the in vivo phosphorylation pattern. These results indicate that the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase mediates phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase by hormonal and electrical stimuli which elevate intracellular Ca2+ in PC12 cells.
