The neural cell-adhesion molecule (N-CAM) is detected as at least 3 related polypeptides generated by alternative splicing of a single gene. In vivo the 2 larger polypeptides are phosphorylated, but the smallest polypeptide, which lacks a cytoplasmic domain, is not. We have found that the 2 larger polypeptides are phosphorylated in vivo on several common phosphorylation sites. Furthermore, the largest polypeptide has additional sites, suggesting that some phosphorylation occurs in that portion of the intracellular region unique to it. In vitro N-CAM is not a substrate for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I, II, or III, protein kinase C, or casein kinase II. However, we have isolated 2 protein kinases from mammalian and avian brain that phosphorylate rodent and chicken N-CAM. On the basis of their chromatographic behavior and substrate specificity, the 2 kinases are glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) and casein kinase I (CK I). The 2 kinases phosphorylate N-CAM rapidly, to a high stoichiometry and with a low Km for N-CAM, suggesting that the phosphorylation of N-CAM by these kinases is physiologically relevant. Both enzymes phosphorylate the 2 larger N-CAM polypeptides in vitro in the cytoplasmic domain on threonyl residues that are phosphorylated to a low level in vivo. In addition, the threonyl residues are close to seryl residues phosphorylated to a high level in vivo. Prior phosphorylation at the in vivo sites appears to be a prerequisite for phosphorylation by GSK-3 and CK I. Taken together, the results suggest that N-CAM may be physiologically phosphorylated on 2 sets of interrelated sites, one demonstrable in vivo and one in vitro. Phosphorylation on the "in vivo" sites is resistant to dephosphorylation and may be constitutive, while phosphorylation on the "in vitro" sites is much more labile.

T lymphocytes express a tyrosine protein kinase (TPK; protein-tyrosine kinase; ATP:protein-tyrosine O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.112), pp56lck that is encoded by the lck protooncogene. This TPK was recently found to be associated with the intracellular domain of the T-cell surface glycoproteins, CD4 and CD8, suggesting that it plays an important role in T-cell development and activation. We have studied the regulation of pp56lck and found that this kinase can be rapidly activated by an endogenous mechanism present in T-lymphocyte membranes. This activation was sensitive to sodium orthovanadate and O-phosphotyrosine, consistent with the involvement of a phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase; protein-tyrosine-phosphatase; protein-tyrosine-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.48) in pp56lck activation. Based on a recent report demonstrating that CD45, the leukocyte common antigen, is a membrane-bound PTPase, we analyzed its role in pp56lck activation. CD45 was found to be the major (greater than 90%) PTPase in membranes of the murine T-lymphoma line BW5147. Moreover, activation of pp56lck was undetectable in a mutant BW5147 line lacking CD45 expression (and the associated PTPase activity). In contrast, activation of pp56lck was readily detected in the wild-type lymphoma line. More important, when immunoprecipitated CD45 was added to pp56lck, the TPK activity of the latter increased greater than 2-fold within minutes. This effect of CD45 was completely blocked by sodium orthovanadate. These findings indicate an important role for the CD45 PTPase in pp56lck activation. This role could be mediated by direct dephosphorylation of a regulatory tyrosine residue in pp56lck.

The mechanism for synergistic phosphorylation by glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) and casein kinase II was studied using a synthetic peptide which contains the sequence of a potentially important proline/serine-rich regulatory region of rabbit muscle glycogen synthase. The peptide, Ac-PRPAS(3a)VPPS(3b)PSLS(3c)RHSS(4)PHQS(5) EDEEEP-amide, has five known phosphorylation sites of the native enzyme designated sites 3a, 3b, 3c, 4, and 5, which are spaced every fourth residue. The peptide was phosphorylated specifically at site 5 by casein kinase II with an apparent Km of 23 microM, but it was not phosphorylated by GSK-3. However, after initial phosphorylation of site 5 by casein kinase II, the peptide became an effective substrate for GSK-3 with an apparent Km of 2 microM. GSK-3 introduced up to four phosphates and appeared to catalyze the sequential modification of sites 4, 3c, 3b, and 3a, respectively. The results can be explained if GSK-3 recognizes the sequence -SXXXS(P). Phosphorylation of site 5 by casein kinase II creates this recognition site. Thereafter, each successive phosphorylation introduced by GSK-3 generates a new recognition site. The results provide a molecular basis to explain the synergistic action of casein kinase II and GSK-3 that is also observed with native glycogen synthase. In addition, this investigation emphasizes how protein recognition sites in some cellular targets may have to be formed post-translationally.

A form of glycogen synthase kinase designated GSK-M3 was purified 4000-fold from rat skeletal muscle by phosphocellulose, Affi-Gel blue, Sephacryl S-300 and carboxymethyl-Sephadex column chromatography. Separation of GSK-M from the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase was facilitated by converting the catalytic subunit to the holoenzyme form by addition of the regulatory subunit prior to the gel filtration step. GSK-M had an apparent Mr 62,000 (based on gel filtration), an apparent Km of 11 microM for ATP, and an apparent Km of 4 microM for rat skeletal muscle glycogen synthase. The kinase had very little activity with 0.2 mM GTP as the phosphate donor. Kinase activity was not affected by the addition of cyclic nucleotides, EGTA, heparin, glucose 6-P, glycogen, or the heat-stable inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of glycogen synthase from rat skeletal muscle by GSK-M reduced the activity ratio (activity in the absence of Glc-6-P/activity in the presence of Glc-6-P X 100) from 90 to 25% when approximately 1.2 mol of phosphate was incorporated per mole of glycogen synthase subunit. Phosphopeptide maps of glycogen synthase obtained after digestion with CNBr or trypsin showed that this kinase phosphorylated glycogen synthase in serine residues found in the peptides containing the sites known as site 2, which is located in the N-terminal CNBr peptide, and site 3, which is located in the C-terminal CNBr peptide of glycogen synthase. In addition to phosphorylating glycogen synthase, GSK-M phosphorylated inhibitor 2 and activated ATP-Mg-dependent protein phosphatase. Activation of the protein phosphatase by GSK-M was dependent on ATP and was virtually absent when ATP was replaced with GTP. GSK-M had minimal activity toward phosphorylase b, casein, phosvitin, and mixed histones. These data indicate that GSK-M, a major form of glycogen synthase kinase from rat skeletal muscle, differs from the known glycogen synthase kinases isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle.

Fat cells were incubated with 32Pi for 2 h before the [32P]I-2 was immunoprecipitated, subjected to SDS/PAGE, and detected by autoradiography. [32P]I-2 (Mr = 32,000) was not recovered when excess purified I-2 was added with the antiserum or when nonimmune serum was used. Immunoprecipitated I-2 was heat-stable, inhibited phosphatase activity, and could be synergistically phosphorylated by casein kinase II and FA/GSK-3. Several times more [32P]phosphoserine than [32P]phosphothreonine was found in I-2 from 32P-labeled cells. Insulin increased the 32P-content of I-2 by as much as 40%, suggesting that phosphorylation of I-2 might be involved in the effect of insulin on stimulating protein dephosphorylation.

Genes encoding the regulatory (BCY1) and catalytic (TPK1, TPK2, and TPK3) subunits of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK) are found in S. cerevisiae. bcy1- yeast strains do not respond properly to nutrient conditions. Unlike wild type, bcy1- strains do not accumulate glycogen, form spores, or become resistant to heat shock when nutrient limited. We have isolated mutant TPK genes that suppress all of the bcy1- defects. The mutant TPK genes appear to encode functionally attenuated catalytic subunits of the cAPK. bcy1- yeast strains containing the mutant TPK genes respond appropriately to nutrient conditions, even in the absence of CDC25, both RAS genes, or CYR1. Together, these genes encode the known components of the cAMP-generating machinery. The results indicate that cAMP-independent mechanisms must exist for regulating glycogen accumulation, sporulation, and the acquisition of thermotolerance in S. cerevisiae.

Prior phosphorylation of its substrate has been shown to be important for substrate recognition by the protein kinase glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). Phosphorylation of glycogen synthase by GSK-3 is known to be enhanced by the previous action of casein kinase II and the sequence -SXXXS(P)- was proposed as the minimal recognition determinant for GSK-3. The glycogen binding subunit of type 1 phosphoprotein phosphatase has been shown to be phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase at serine-13 in the sequence KPGFS(5)PQPS(9)RRGS(13)ESSEEVYV (F.B. Caudwell, A. Hiraga, and P. Cohen (1986) FEBS Lett. 194, 85-89). Inspection of the sequence revealed potential GSK-3 sites at residues 5 and 9. Using a synthetic peptide with the above sequence, we found that phosphorylation of serine-13 by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase permitted the recognition of serine-9 and serine-5 by GSK-3. The work provides another example of a substrate for GSK-3 and demonstrates that the action of GSK-3 is linked to the presence of phosphate in the substrate and not the action of any particular protein kinase. In the course of the analyses, a novel feature of trypsin cleavage of phosphopeptides was noted. In the sequence -SRRGS(P)- trypsin acted uniquely after the first arginine whereas in the sequence -S(P)RRGS(P)- it cleaved randomly at either arginine residue. The fact that GSK-3 could phosphorylate a peptide derived from a phosphatase subunit also raises the possibility that GSK-3 might be involved in controlling glycogen-associated type 1 phosphatase and, more generally, in mediating cyclic AMP control of protein phosphorylation in cells.

The culture supernatant of the TTK-1 cell line, established from human decidual tissue, was found to contain a factor that strongly suppressed the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). The mechanism of the MLR-suppressive activity as well as the biochemical characterization of this factor was analyzed. The TTK-1 supernatant suppressed the MLR much more strongly than the culture supernatants of the three other malignant cell lines examined. The molecular weight of this factor was estimated to be between 43 kilodaltons (kd) and 67 kd by gel filtration chromatography. The TTK-1 supernatant also suppressed the proliferation of the interleukin 2 (IL-2)-dependent T cell lines, but did not suppress that of the IL-2-independent T cell lines, suggesting that the TTK-1 supernatant inhibited the action of IL-2 and subsequently suppressed the MLR. The fact that the TTK-1 cell line originated from human decidual tissue might imply the important role of this factor in immunological fetomaternal balance.

Glycogen synthase was purified to near homogeneity from rat skeletal muscle, and was found to resemble the rabbit skeletal muscle enzyme in several respects. An apparent molecular weight (Mapp) of 86,000 was estimated from the electrophoretic mobility of the subunit on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Limited proteolysis of the rat synthase with trypsin resulted in the formation of species with MappS equal to 75,000, 69,000, and 67,000. The enzyme could be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, and the cAMP-independent protein kinases, PC0.7 and FA/GSK-3. Essentially all of the phosphorylation observed occurred on serines located in two cyanogen bromide fragments, denoted CB-1 (Mapp = 13,000) and CB-2 (Mapp = 22,000). FA/GSK-3 and cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated sites in both fragments. Phosphate introduced by phosphorylase kinase was located exclusively in CB-1, and that incorporated with PC0.7 was found in CB-2. Phosphorylation by FA/GSK-3 reduced the electrophoretic mobility of the subunit, introduced heterogeneity into CB-2, and was synergistic with phosphorylation by PC0.7. To separate phosphorylation sites more completely, samples of glycogen synthase were subjected to extensive proteolysis using trypsin, followed by reverse-phase liquid chromatography. When phosphorylated by the same kinases, the pattern of fragments obtained with rat and rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase were almost identical. The results presented provide strong evidence that the subunit of rat skeletal muscle glycogen synthase has at least five phosphorylation sites that are very similar, if not identical, to sites present on the rabbit muscle enzyme.

Rat adipocytes were incubated with [32P]phosphate to label glycogen synthase, which was rapidly immunoprecipitated from cellular extracts and cleaved using either CNBr or trypsin. All of the [32P]phosphate in synthase was recovered in two CNBr fragments, denoted CB-1 and CB-2. Isoproterenol (1 microM) rapidly decreased the synthase activity ratio (-glucose-6-P/+glucose-6-P) and stimulated the phosphorylation of both CB-1 and CB-2 by approximately 30%. Insulin opposed the decrease in activity ratio and blocked the stimulation of phosphorylation by isoproterenol. Incubating cells with insulin alone changed the 32P content of neither CB-1 nor CB-2. Trypsin fragments were separated by reverse phase liquid chromatography and divided into peak fractions, denoted F-I-F-VII in order of increasing hydrophobicity. F-V contained almost half of the [32P]phosphate and was phosphorylated when synthase was immunoprecipitated from unlabeled fat cells and incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and the cAMP-independent protein kinase, FA/GSK-3. That F-V also had the same retention time as the skeletal muscle synthase fragment containing sites 3(a + b + c) suggests that it contains sites 3. Muscle sites 1a, 5, 1b, and 2 eluted with F-I, F-II, F-VI, and F-VII, respectively. F-V was increased approximately 25% by isoproterenol, but the largest relative increases were observed in F-I (4-fold), F-III (4-fold), and F-VI (2-fold). These results indicate that beta-adrenergic receptor activation results in increased phosphorylation of multiple sites on glycogen synthase. Insulin plus glucose decreased the overall 32P content of synthase by approximately 30%, with the largest decrease (40%) occurring in F-V. Without glucose, insulin decreased the [32P]phosphate in F-V by 17%, an effect which was balanced by increases in F-I, F-II, and F-III so that no net change in the total 32P contents of the fractions was observed. Thus, activation of glycogen synthase by the glucose transport-independent pathway seems to involve a redistribution of phosphate in the synthase subunit.
