A major route for the release of arachidonic acid from platelet phospholipids appears to be catalyzed by a phospholipase A2 that can be stimulated by a rise of cytosolic Ca2+. This paper discusses certain other mechanisms for regulation of this process. Release of arachidonic acid by calcium ionophores is potentiated by pretreatment with stimulators of protein kinase C; e.g. diglyceride, phorbol esters and the terpene diester mezerein. This effect appears to be coincident with phosphorylation of a certain group of proteins (not 47 KDa protein), and is sensitive to depletion of ATP, activation of Ca2+ dependent phosphatase, and the kinase C inhibitor H-7, but is unaffected by Na+/H+ exchange inhibitors. Recent results in other cell types strongly indicate that phospholipase A2 is also directly under control of certain GTP-binding proteins.

The inhibitory effects of Ca2+-binding proteins on tyrosine phosphorylation of p36 protein isolated from bovine intestinal epithelium by immunoprecipitated p130fps were investigated. S-100 protein dose dependently inhibited the p36 phosphorylation, and calmodulin weakly depressed the phosphorylation, whereas parvalbumin and troponin C had no significant effects. The S-100 preparation purified from bovine brain did not contain phosphatase activity or ATPase activity. The concentration of ATP did not affect the S-100-mediated inhibition of phosphorylation but the substrate protein, p36, reversed the inhibition. S-100 similarly inhibited the tyrosine phosphorylation of p36 by p60src but did not affect the p36 phosphorylation by protein kinase C. S-100 inhibited the tyrosine kinase activity of p130fps using the other substrates tested as well. These results suggest that S-100 interacts with the substrate binding site of retroviral tyrosine-specific protein kinases and may play a regulatory role in the tyrosine phosphorylation.

This review seeks to assemble recent discoveries about insulin receptor/kinase, guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, phosphatidyl inositol metabolism, and protein phosphatases to provide a mechanistic pathway by which insulin would alter carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It proposes a hypothetical chain of events that leads from the insulin receptor to protein phosphatase-1. The sequence starts with insulin binding to its receptor, activating the intrinsic receptor/kinase activity. The insulin receptor phosphorylates a guanine nucleotide-binding protein, which activates a particular phospholipase C. This in turn stimulates the production of two lipid-derived messengers: inositol-phospho-glucosamine and diacylglycerol. These messengers trigger the effects of insulin. The diacylglycerol produced by insulin is thought to be analogous to the diacylglycerol produced by alpha-adrenergic stimulation, which activates protein kinase C. Activation of this kinase could account for increases in phosphorylation of certain proteins. The inositol-phospho-glucosamine is the cytosolic messenger for insulin. One of the enzymes activated by insulin is protein phosphatase type-1. It is known that the phosphatase decreases phosphorylation of certain target enzymes. In response to insulin, activation of protein phosphatase type-1 occurs with a stable conformational change that may involve rearrangement of disulfide bonds. Rearrangement is either directly in response to the cytosolic messenger or is catalyzed by an isomerase activated by the insulin messenger. Ultimately, protein phosphatase type-1 and/or the disulfide isomerase may together mediate the pleiotropic effects of insulin on carbohydrate and fat metabolism.

A protein phosphatase assay, selective for protein phosphatase 2A, has been developed. Bovine histone H1 phosphorylated by protein kinase C and [gamma-32P]ATP, designated H1(C), was tested as the substrate for various preparations of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. The phosphatase 2A preparations were 10-60-times more active with H1(C) as the substrate when compared to phosphorylase a. The phosphatase 1 enzymes showed very little dephosphorylation of the H1(C) substrate, the activity being less than 5% of the phosphorylase phosphatase activity. This preference and selectivity was demonstrated for purified phosphatase preparations in addition to fresh tissue extracts. The assay provides a rapid, simple assay for the routine analysis of phosphatase 2A in the presence of phosphatase 1, without the use of heat-stable inhibitor proteins.

Interactions between the different signaling roles of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerol, the products of agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate breakdown, are assessed in isolated rat hepatocytes. Measurements of the kinetics of accumulation of individual [3H]inositol phosphates after the addition of different Ca2+-mobilizing agonists in general support the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate as the second messenger responsible for release of sequestered intracellular Ca2+. Various agonists, when added at maximal concentrations, however, produce qualitatively and quantitatively different responses, which reflect varying abilities of the agonists to activate phospholipase C. Qualitative differences are revealed by a pronounced biphasic pattern to the Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation after vasopressin and phenylephrine stimulation, which is indicative of negative feedback. It is suggested that this effect is mediated by a partial diacylglycerol activation of protein kinase C, which in vitro causes an activation of inositol phosphate 5-phosphatase and hence promotes removal of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,4)P2. An alternative mechanism proposed by Biden and Wollheim (1986) of a secondary Ca2+ activation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase is considered less likely as a general mechanism, since highly purified kinase prepared from rat brain shows only an inhibition by Ca2+. Glucagon, 8-Br-cAMP, and EGF induce small increases of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in hepatocytes, together with slower and smaller increases of cytosolic free Ca2+ than those produced by vasopressin or phenylephrine, with Ca2+ being mobilized from the same intracellular pools with each of the agonists. The Ca2+-mobilizing effect of glucagon, therefore, may be entirely due to a cAMP-dependent process, although a direct receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase C, as suggested by Wakelam et al. (1986), remains a possibility. The EGF receptor appears to be coupled to phospholipase C, presumably via a G-protein. It is speculated that the mechanism by which cAMP increases Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels in hepatocytes could either be by phosphorylation and inhibition of inositol phosphate 5-phosphatase or by phosphorylation and facilitation of the coupling between the G-protein and phospholipase C. When protein kinase C is maximally activated by pretreatment of hepatocytes with PMA, the stimulatory effects of phenylephrine, glucagon, 8-Br-cAMP, and EGF on the accumulation of inositol phosphates and increase of cytosolic free Ca2+ are largely inhibited.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) enhances the effects of TRH on phase II of prolactin secretion as well as on hormone synthesis at both low and high TPA receptor occupancy. Furthermore TPA, but not the biologically inactive substance 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4 alpha-PDD), stimulates the particulate bound adenylate cyclase with a time course paralleling that of TRH activation. However, the combined additions of TRH and TPA activate this cyclase in an additive manner while the Gpp(NH)p- and the forskolin-sensitive enzyme are unaffected by TPA addition. Polymyxin B, which inhibits protein kinase C, abolishes activation of adenylate cyclase by TPA without interfering with the stimulatory action of TRH. Also, when phosphatase activity is preferentially inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with sodium vanadate, the TRH-sensitive cyclase is unaltered, while TPA activation is obliterated. Maximal stimulation of adenylate cyclase by cholera toxin pretreatment, obliterated the actions of TRH and TPA. Cells pretreated with pertussis toxin retained their TRH-sensitive cyclase, however, TPA-responsiveness was lost. We therefore suggest that the action of TPA as it relates to activation of adenylate cyclase, is probably mediated via the Gi component of the adenylate cyclase complex, while TRH stimulates the enzyme via the classical pathway involving the stimulatory GTP binding protein (Gs).

Five protein kinases are shown to serve as specific phosphatases in the absence of ADP. Although the rates of hydrolysis are very slow compared to the forward phosphorylation rates under optimal conditions, they are of the same order as the reverse reaction in the presence of ADP. Because cells contain approximately equal to 3 mM ATP, neither the reverse reaction nor the phosphatase is likely to play a physiological role. beta-casein B phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) is specifically dephosphorylated by protein kinase A but not by polypeptide-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase P). beta-casein B phosphorylated by protein kinase P is specifically dephosphorylated by protein kinase P but not by protein kinase A. Histone H1 phosphorylated by protein kinase C is dephosphorylated by the same enzyme in the absence of ADP. In all cases tested addition of ADP and F1-ATPase accelerates moderately the rate of dephosphorylation. Native H+-ATPase from yeast plasma membranes is isolated mainly in the phosphorylated form. It is dephosphorylated and rephosphorylated by protein kinase P but not by protein kinase A. Protein-tyrosine kinase of the epidermal growth factor receptor phosphorylates the random synthetic polypeptide poly(Glu80Tyr20). The phosphorylated polymer is specifically dephosphorylated in the absence of ADP by epidermal growth factor receptor preparations but not by insulin receptor preparations. The same polymer phosphorylated by insulin receptor is dephosphorylated by insulin receptor but not by epidermal growth factor receptor preparations. By using a cycle of dephosphorylation-rephosphorylation, it is possible to identify proteins that are phosphorylated by these protein kinases in vivo. Should this method be applicable to additional protein kinases, it should be possible to estimate the quantitative contribution of each protein kinase to a single phosphoprotein.

Recent studies with crude or partially purified cell extracts have suggested that DNA polymerase alpha activity may be regulated by enzymatic phosphorylation. To further investigate these findings, we have examined the effects of protein kinases and phosphatases on highly purified DNA polymerase alpha from mouse cells. Incubation of DNA polymerase alpha with a variety of protein kinases, including protein kinase C, had no effect on polymerase activity. In addition, treatment of the polymerase with soluble calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase had no effect on DNA polymerase alpha activity, further indicating that phosphorylation does not have a direct role in modulating polymerase activity. In contrast, incubation of DNA polymerase alpha with calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase crosslinked to agarose beads resulted in a time dependent disappearance of polymerase activity. This loss of DNA polymerase activity was dependent on phosphatase activity, as the alkaline phosphatase inhibitors, potassium phosphate or levamisole, prevented the loss of polymerase activity in the presence of the beaded phosphatase. The loss of DNA polymerase alpha activity following beaded phosphatase treatment was not a general phenomena as the large fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I, T4 DNA polymerase or mouse primase were not affected by similar treatment. The decreased DNA polymerase activity following incubation with phosphatase beads correlated with the binding of the DNA polymerase polypeptides, p185 and p68, to the agarose beads and this binding could not be reversed by either 150 mM potassium chloride or sodium sulfate. The binding of the polymerase to the agarose beads was dependent on the phosphatase activity, as the polymerase could be first treated with soluble calf intestinal phosphatase and subsequently bound to added Sepharose 4B beads. Surprisingly, Sepharose CL4B, a highly desulfated agarose preparation, did not bind the phosphatase-treated polymerase suggesting that sulfated polysaccharides are required for polymerase binding. The physiological correlate of this binding is unknown, but it has been reported that sulfated polysaccharides exist in a variety of intracellular compartments. It would be interesting to speculate that phosphorylation controls the intracellular compartmentalization of DNA polymerase alpha.

The cytosolic fraction of insulin-treated adipocytes exhibits a 2-fold increase in protein kinase activity when Kemptide is used as a substrate. The detection of insulin-stimulated kinase activity is critically dependent on the presence of phosphatase inhibitors such as fluoride and vanadate in the cell homogenization buffer. The cytosolic protein kinase activity exhibits high sensitivity (ED50 = 2 X 10(-10) M) and a rapid response (maximal after 2 min) to insulin. Kinetic analyses of the cytosolic kinase indicate that insulin increases the Vmax of Kemptide phosphorylation and ATP utilization without affecting the affinities of this enzyme toward the substrate or nucleotide. Upon chromatography on anion-exchange and gel filtration columns, the insulin-stimulated cytosolic kinase activity is resolved from the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and migrates as a single peak with an apparent Mr = 50,000-60,000. The partially purified kinase preferentially utilizes histones, Kemptide, multifunctional calmodulin-dependent protein kinase substrate peptide, ATP citrate-lyase, and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase as substrates but does not catalyze phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6, casein, phosvitin, phosphorylase b, glycogen synthase, inhibitor II, and substrate peptides for casein kinase II, protein kinase C, and cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphoamino acid analyses of the 32P-labeled substrates reveal that the insulin-stimulated cytosolic kinase is primarily serine-specific. The insulin-activated cytosolic kinase prefers Mn2+ to Mg2+ and is independent of Ca2+. Unlike ribosomal protein S6 kinase and protease-activated kinase II, the insulin-sensitive cytosolic kinase is fluoride-insensitive. Taken together, these results indicate that a novel cytosolic protein kinase activity is activated by insulin.

The calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase was shown to be phosphorylated by the Ca2+, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the 61 kDa catalytic subunit was phosphorylated. Phosphorylation by protein kinase C was stimulated up to 15-fold by addition of phosphatidyl-L-serine and between 0.5 to 1.0 mole of phosphate was incorporated per mole of phosphatase. It is possible that protein kinase C is involved in the regulation of the calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase via this novel phosphorylation of the enzyme.
