Isolated triads from rabbit skeletal muscle were shown to contain an intrinsic protein kinase which was neither Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent nor cAMP-dependent. The protein substrates phosphorylated by this protein kinase exhibited apparent molecular weights of 300,000, 170,000, 90,000, 80,000, 65,000, 56,000, 52,000, 51,000, 40,000, 25,000, 22,000, and 15,000. Purification of the 1,4-dihydropyridine receptor from phosphorylated triads has demonstrated that the 170,000- and 52,000-Da subunits of the 1,4-dihydropyridine receptor are phosphorylated by this intrinsic protein kinase in isolated triads. Monoclonal antibodies to the 170,000-Da subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor immunoprecipitated the 170,000-Da phosphoprotein from detergent extracts of phosphorylated triads. The mobility of the 170,000-Da phosphoprotein in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels was not changed with or without reduction, demonstrating that the 170,000-Da phosphoprotein is not the glycoprotein subunit of the receptor. Our results demonstrate that the 170,000- and 52,000-Da subunits of the dihydropyridine receptor are phosphorylated by an intrinsic protein kinase in isolated triads. In addition, our results also demonstrate that the 175,000-Da glycoprotein subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor is not phosphorylated in isolated triads by the intrinsic protein kinase, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, or endogenous Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase.

Synaptic membranes were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP, and glycoproteins were isolated by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A agarose. Glycoproteins accounted for 1.5-2.5% of the total 32P incorporated into synaptic membrane proteins. Ca2+ and calmodulin enhanced the phosphorylation of synaptic membrane glycoproteins approximately threefold. In the presence of Ca2+ and calmodulin, the rate of glycoprotein dephosphorylation was also increased three- to four-fold. Gel electrophoretic analysis identified several synaptic membrane glycoproteins that incorporated 32P, with the most highly labeled glycoprotein under basal phosphorylating conditions having an apparent Mr of 205,000 (gpiii). Ca2+ and calmodulin produced a marked increase in the phosphorylation of a glycoprotein with an apparent Mr of 180,000 (gpiv) and lesser increases in the labeling of three other glycoproteins. Membranes that had been labeled with [gamma-32P]ATP were extracted with Triton X-100 under conditions that yield a detergent-insoluble residue enriched in postsynaptic structures. The Triton X-100 insoluble residue accounted for 20-25% of the 32P associated with synaptic membrane glycoproteins. Gpiv and other glycoproteins, the phosphorylation of which was stimulated by calmodulin, were located exclusively in the Triton X-100 insoluble residue, whereas gpiii and other calmodulin-insensitive glycoproteins partitioned predominantly into the Triton X-100-soluble fraction. Phosphopeptide maps and phosphoamino acid analysis of gpiv isolated from synaptic membranes and a postsynaptic glycoprotein of apparent Mr of 180,000 (gp180) isolated from synaptic junctions indicated that the former protein was identical to the previously identified postsynaptic-specific gp180. In addition to phosphoserine and phosphothreonine, gpiv also contained phosphotyrosine, identifying it as a substrate for tyrosine-protein kinase as well as for Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase.

Using a synthesized glycoprotein, beta-galactosidase modified with p-aminophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside (beta-D-Gal beta-gal), the incorporation of the glycoprotein into bovine brain synaptosomes was studied. The uptake was mediated by a specific receptor to beta-D-galactoside, and was inhibited by GM1 ganglioside. The uptake was found to require energy and to be sensitive to metabolic inhibitors. Kinetic studies on beta-D-Gal beta-gal uptake indicated the presence of a saturable, carrier-mediated transport system in synaptosomes. By subcellular fractionation the beta-D-Gal beta-gal taken up was found in the fractions corresponding to the nucleus and membrane fragments, the soluble cytosomal fractions, and the mitochondria and lysosomes. The uptake was markedly increased by addition of Ca2+ to the incubation medium. The maximal uptake was obtained at pH 8.0 in the presence of 10 mM Ca2+ at 37 degrees C. By addition of a Ca2+ ionophore A23187, beta-D-Gal beta-gal uptake was increased in a dose-dependent way parallel to the increase in the intrasynaptosomal concentration of Ca2+. Preincubation of synaptosomes with calmodulin antagonists such as trifluoperazine and N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-napthalenesulfonamide (W-7) was found to inhibit the uptake markedly, and diazepam, an inhibitor of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, also inhibited the uptake. At a concentration between 1 and 10 microM, 50% inhibition of the uptake was observed with either inhibitor. On the other hand, the addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP did not affect the uptake of the glycoprotein into synaptosomes. These results suggest that the incorporation of this macromolecule is dependent on a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase.

Phospholamban, the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum proteolipid, is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, by Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, and by an endogenous Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, the identity of which remains to be defined. The aim of this study was therefore to characterize the latter kinase, called phospholamban kinase. Phospholamban kinase was purified approximately 42-fold with a yield of 11%. The purified fraction exhibits a specific activity of 6.5 nmol of phosphate incorporated into exogenous phospholamban per minute per milligram of protein. Phospholamban kinase appears to be a high molecular weight enzyme and presents a broad substrate specificity, synapsin-1, glycogen synthase, and smooth muscle myosin regulatory light chain being the best substrates. Phospholamban kinase phosphorylates synapsin-1 on a Mr 30 000 peptide. The enzyme exhibits an optimum pH of 8.6, a Km for ATP of 9 microM, and a requirement for Mg2+ ions. These data suggest that phospholamban kinase might be an isoenzyme of the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. Consequently we have searched for Mr 50 000-60 000 phosphorylatable subunits among cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins. A Mr 56 000 protein was found to be phosphorylated in the presence of Ca2+/calmodulin. Such phosphorylation alters the electrophoretic migration velocity of the protein. In addition, this protein that binds calmodulin was always found to be present in fractions containing phospholamban kinase activity. This Mr 56 000 protein is therefore a good candidate for being a subunit of phospholamban kinase. However, the Mr 56 000 calmodulin-binding protein and the Mr 53 000 intrinsic glycoprotein which binds ATP are two distinct entities.

Purified dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC) contains an endogenous protein kinase activity which phosphorylates dystrophin. Mg2+ (or Mn2+) and ATP are required for this phosphorylation. Ca(2+)-calmodulin increases the rate of phosphorylation of dystrophin 12-fold relative to the EGTA control, while other protein kinase activators, cAMP and cGMP, have no effect. Phosphorylation of other proteins in the DGC preparation was observed, with a 59-kDa protein also being phosphorylated in a calmodulin-dependent manner. These phosphorylations were all on serine residues. The DGC protein kinase activity also phosphorylates syntide-2, a peptide substrate for CaM kinase II, and antibodies raised against CaM kinase II cross-react with DGC blotted onto nitrocellulose. Further, purified, baculovirus-expressed CaM kinase II phosphorylates dystrophin and also phosphorylates at least one of the peptides of dystrophin which is phosphorylated by the DGC protein kinase activity, as shown by tryptic peptide maps. CaM kinase II also phosphorylates other proteins present in the DGC preparation that are phosphorylated by the endogenous protein kinase. Finally, dystrophin sequence 2618-3074, produced by recombinant techniques, is phosphorylated by both the DGC protein kinase and purified CaM kinase II. Since dystrophin and two other DGC components have also been shown to bind calmodulin, two important components of signal transduction--calmodulin binding and protein phosphorylation--operate in the DGC.

A Ca(2+)-calmodulin dependent protein kinase activity (DGC-PK) was previously shown to associate with skeletal muscle dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC) preparations, and phosphorylate dystrophin and a protein with the same electrophoretic mobility as alpha-syntrophin (R. Madhavan, H.W. Jarrett, Biochemistry 33 (1994) 5797-5804). Here, we show that DGC-PK and Ca(2+)-calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) phosphorylate a common site (RSDS(3616)) within the dystrophin C terminal domain that fits the consensus CaM kinase II phosphorylation motif (R/KXXS/T). Furthermore, both kinase activities phosphorylate exactly the same three fusion proteins (dystrophin fusions DysS7 and DysS9, and the syntrophin fusion) out of a panel of eight fusion proteins (representing nearly 100% of syntrophin and 80% of dystrophin protein sequences), demonstrating that DGC-PK and CaM kinase II have the same substrate specificity. Complementing these results, anti-CaM kinase II antibodies specifically stained purified DGC immobilized on nitrocellulose membranes. Renaturation of electrophoretically resolved DGC proteins revealed a single protein kinase band (M(r) approximately 60,000) that, like CaM kinase II, underwent Ca(2+)-calmodulin dependent autophosphorylation. Based on these observations, we conclude DGC-PK represents a dystrophin-/syntrophin-phosphorylating skeletal muscle isoform of CaM kinase II. We also show that phosphorylation of the dystrophin C terminal domain sequences inhibits their syntrophin binding in vitro, suggesting a regulatory role for phosphorylation.

Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a membrane-bound glycoprotein expressed on the surface of neuronal and glial cells. Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated that NCAM promotes neuronal functions largely via three main interaction partners: the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), a member of Src family of tyrosine kinases, Fyn and Raf1 kinase which all activate different intracellular signaling pathways. The objective was to clarify, which signaling pathways are being disrupted in NCAM knockout mice and whether FGL peptide is able to restore observed disruptions. Therefore we compared the levels of phosphorylation of FGFR1, Src kinase Fyn, Raf1 kinase, MAP kinases, Akt kinase and calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinases II and IV (CaMKII and CaMKIV) in the hippocampus of NCAM knockout mice to their wild-type littermates. The data of our study show that mice constitutively deficient in all isoforms of NCAM have decreased basal phosphorylation levels of FGFR1 and CaMKII and CaMKIV. Furthermore, NCAM-mimetic, FGL peptide, is found to be able to restore FGFR1, CaMKII and CaMKIV phosphorylation levels and thereby mimic the interactions of NCAM at this receptor in NCAM deficient mice. Also, we found that Fyn(Tyr530), Raf1, MAP kinases and Akt kinase phosphorylation in adult animals is not affected by NCAM deficiency but interestingly, we found an over-expression of another cell adhesion molecule L1. We conclude that in NCAM deficient mice FGFR1-dependent signaling is disrupted and it can be restored by FGL peptide.
