In a previous paper, a model was presented showing how the group of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II molecules contained within a postsynaptic density could stably store a graded synaptic weight. This paper completes the model by showing how bidirectional control of synaptic weight could be achieved. It is proposed that the quantitative level of the activity-dependent rise in postsynaptic Ca2+ determines whether the synaptic weight will increase or decrease. It is further proposed that reduction of synaptic weight is governed by protein phosphatase 1, an enzyme indirectly controlled by Ca2+ through reactions involving phosphatase inhibitor 1, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, calcineurin, and adenylate cyclase. Modeling of this biochemical system shows that it can function as an analog computer that can store a synaptic weight and modify it in accord with the Hebb and anti-Hebb learning rules.

In isolated guinea pig parotid gland lobules the activities of the following enzymes were measured 30 sec after stimulation with either 2 X 10(-5) M isoproterenol or 10(-5) M carbachol: glycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.30), glycerolphosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.15), lysophosphatidate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.51), phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.4), diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20), diacylglycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.107), and CDP-diacylglycerol synthetase (EC 2.7.7.41). Lyso-phosphatidate acyltransferase, diacylglycerol kinase, and diacylglycerol acyltransferase exhibited significant increases following stimulation by both types of agonists. Stimulation of the activities of these three enzymes occurred also following in vitro incubation with the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase or a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. These effects could be reversed by incubation with various protein phosphatases. When cells were first stimulated with either type of agonist, subsequent incubation with protein kinases was almost ineffective. Activation by the two types of protein kinases was not additive, indicating that they activate by phosphorylating identical sites on the enzyme proteins. The other enzymes examined showed no or only minor changes and their activities could not be affected by in vitro incubation with the two types of protein kinases. The results explain the rapid changes in acyl-group transfer from acyl-CoA to neutral lipids observed previously during the first seconds after stimulation of guinea pig parotid gland lobules with isoproterenol or carbachol (1). An analysis of a potential role of lipocortins for the regulation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipases C reveals that these proteins do indeed inhibit these enzymes, but that this inhibition results from a calcium-dependent interaction of the lipocortins with the phospholipid substrate. A physiological role of lipocortins for the regulation of phospholipases is doubtful.

The purified catalytic subunit (C) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase produced a 2-fold activation of the low Km phosphodiesterase in crude microsomes (P-2 pellet) of rat adipocytes. This activation was C subunit concentration-dependent, ATP-dependent, blocked by a specific peptide inhibitor, and lost if the C subunit was first heat denatured. The concentration of ATP necessary for half-maximal activation of the low Km phosphodiesterase was 4.50 +/- 1.1 microM, which was nearly the same as the known Km of C subunit for ATP (3.1 microM) using other substrates. The concentration of C subunit producing half-maximal activation of phosphodiesterase was 0.22 +/- 0.04 microM, slightly less than the measured concentration of total C subunit in adipocytes (0.45 microM). The activation of the low Km phosphodiesterase by C subunit was specific, since on an equimolar basis, myosin light chain kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II did not activate the enzyme. The percent stimulation of phosphodiesterase by C subunit was about the same as that produced by incubation of adipocytes with a cAMP analog, and the enzyme first activated in vivo with the analog was not activated to the same extent (on a percentage basis) by in vitro treatment with C subunit. Treatment of the crude microsomes with trypsin resulted in transfer of phosphodiesterase catalytic activity from the particulate to the supernatant fraction, but the enzyme in the supernatant was minimally activated by C subunit, suggesting either loss or dislocation of the regulatory component. The C subunit-mediated activation of phosphodiesterase was preserved after either transfer of phosphodiesterase activity to the supernatant fraction by nonionic detergents or partial purification of the transferred enzyme. The present findings are consistent with the suggestion that protein kinase regulates the concentration of cAMP through phosphodiesterase activation and provide direct evidence that the mechanism of activation involves phosphorylation.

Dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels exist in many different types of cells and are believed to be regulated by various protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions. The present study concerns the phosphorylation of a putative component of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels by the calcium and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C. A skeletal muscle peptide of 165 kDa, which is known to contain receptors for dihydropyridines, phenylalkylamines, and other Ca2+ channel effectors, was found to be an efficient substrate for protein kinase C when the peptide was phosphorylated in its membrane-bound state. Protein kinase C incorporated 1.5-2.0 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide within 2 min into the 165-kDa peptide in incubations carried out at 37 degrees C. In contrast to the membrane-bound peptide, the purified 165-kDa peptide in detergent solution was phosphorylated to a markedly less extent than its membrane-bound counterpart; less than 0.1 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide was incorporated. Preincubation of the membranes with several types of drugs known to be Ca2+ channel activators or inhibitors had no specific effects on the rate and/or extent of phosphorylation of the 165-kDa peptide by protein kinase C. The phosphorylation of the membrane-bound 165-kDa peptide by protein kinase C was compared to that catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and was found to be not additive. Prior phosphorylation of the 165-kDa peptide by cAMP-dependent protein kinase prevented subsequent phosphorylation of the peptide by protein kinase C. Phosphoamino acid analysis indicated that protein kinase C phosphorylated the 165-kDa peptide at both serine and threonine residues. Phosphopeptide mapping experiments showed that protein kinase C phosphorylated one unique site in the 165-kDa peptide, and, in addition, other sites that were phosphorylated by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or a multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. The results suggest that the 165-kDa dihydropyridine/phenylalkylamine receptor could serve as a physiological substrate of protein kinase C in intact cells. It is therefore possible that the regulation of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels by activators of protein kinase C may occur at the level of this peptide.

We report the stoichiometric phosphorylation of an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-binding protein from rat brain by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase but not by protein kinase C or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. This phosphorylation event does not markedly alter [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-binding characteristics. However, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is only 10% as potent in releasing 45Ca2+ from phosphorylated, as compared with native, cerebellar microsomes. Phosphorylation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-binding protein by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase may provide a biochemical substrate for second-messenger cross talk.

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.

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.

Homogenates of the Aplysia nervous system contain protein kinase activities sensitive to cAMP, cGMP, and Ca2+/calmodulin. The cAMP- and cGMP-dependent activities are either soluble enzymes or are only loosely bound to membranes, since they can be detected only in crude but not in washed membrane fractions, and are present in 20,000 or 100,000 X g supernatants prepared from homogenates. In contrast there are both soluble and tightly membrane-bound Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activities. The three activities present in supernatant fractions can be separated by chromatography on DE-cellulose, indicating that they are due to distinct enzyme species. Substrates for these enzymes were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Protein phosphorylation within the identified Aplysia neuron R15 in vivo was measured by the intracellular injection of [gamma-32P]ATP. cAMP stimulates the phosphorylation of nine proteins and decreases phosphorylation of two proteins in this cell. This in vivo pattern was compared with in vitro phosphorylation measured in homogenates of whole ganglion. Most of the phosphoproteins affected by cAMP in neuron R15 in vivo are also substrates for cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro. Thus, the in vitro system will be a useful tool for detailed biochemical analysis of phosphoproteins which have been identified as being physiologically relevant in vivo.

Rat liver L-type pyruvate kinase was phosphorylated in vitro by a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase purified from rabbit liver. The calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase catalyzed incorporation of up to 1.7 mol of 32P/mol of pyruvate kinase subunit; maximum phosphorylation was associated with a 3.0-fold increase in the K0.5 for P-enolpyruvate. This compares to incorporation of 0.7 to 1.0 mol of 32P/mol catalyzed by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase with a 2-fold increase in K0.5 for P-enolpyruvate. When [32P]pyruvate kinase, phosphorylated by the CaM-dependent protein kinase, was subsequently incubated with 5 mM ADP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (kinase reversal conditions), 50-60% of the 32PO4 was removed from pyruvate kinase, but the K0.5 for P-enolpyruvate decreased only 20-30%. Identification of 32P-amino acids after partial acid hydrolysis showed that the CaM-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated both threonyl and seryl residues (ratio of 1:2, respectively) whereas the cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated only seryl groups. The two phosphorylation sites were present in the same 3-4-kDa CNBr fragment located near the amino terminus of the enzyme subunit. These results indicate that the CaM-dependent protein kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of L-type pyruvate kinase at two discrete sites. One site is apparently the same serine which is phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The second site is a unique threonine residue whose phosphorylation also inactivates pyruvate kinase by elevating the K0.5 for P-enolpyruvate. These results may account for the Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase observed in isolated hepatocytes.

Purified phospholamban isolated from canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was subjected to proteolysis and peptide mapping to localize the different sites of phosphorylation on the protein and to gain further information on its subunit structure. Five different proteases (trypsin, papain, chymotrypsin, elastase, and Pronase) degraded the oligomeric 27-kDa phosphoprotein into a major 21-22-kDa protease-resistant fragment. No 32P was retained by this protease-resistant fragment, regardless of whether phospholamban had been phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, or protein kinase C. Phosphoamino acid analysis and thin-layer electrophoresis of liberated phosphopeptides revealed that 1 threonine and 2 serine residues were phosphorylated in phospholamban and that 1 of these serine residues and the threonine residue were in close proximity. Only serine was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, whereas Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated exclusively threonine. The results demonstrate that phospholamban has a large protease-resistant domain and a smaller protease-sensitive domain, the latter of which contains all of the sites of phosphorylation. The 21-22-kDa protease-resistant domain, although devoid of incorporated 32P, was completely dissociated into identical lower molecular weight subunits by boiling in sodium dodecyl sulfate, suggesting that this region of the molecule promotes the relatively strong interactions that hold the subunits together. The data presented lend further support for a model of phospholamban structure in which several identical low molecular weight subunits are noncovalently bound to one another, each containing one site of phosphorylation for cAMP-dependent protein kinase and another site of phosphorylation for Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase.
