Rat epididymal fat-pad extracts have previously been shown to contain an insulin-stimulated acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase, which is co-eluted from Mono Q ion-exchange chromatography with a potent inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase [Borthwick, Edgell & Denton (1990) Biochem. J. 270, 795-801]. A variety of tests, including reactivity with thiol reagents, identify this inhibitor as CoA. Inhibition requires the presence of MgATP, but is independent of any phosphorylation of the enzyme. The effect is complete in about 5 min and is associated with depolymerization of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Half-maximal inhibition is observed at about 40 nM-CoA. The inhibitory effects of CoA can be partially reversed by incubation with citrate and more fully overcome by treatment of the enzyme with the insulin-stimulated acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase.

Maturation-activated protein-serine/threonine kinases were investigated in the high-speed supernatant fractions from sea-star oocytes harvested at the time of germinal vesicle breakdown. One of the major stimulated protein kinases able to phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase in these extracts was found to co-purify with a 44 kDa myelin basic protein kinase (p44mpk) that is activated with a similar time course during oocyte maturation. Purified sea-star oocyte p44mpk phosphorylated acetyl-CoA carboxylase (purified from rat liver) predominantly on serine and to a small extent on threonine. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase occurred principally on a tryptic phosphopeptide which displayed electrophoretic and chromatographic properties very similar to those of the peptide that has previously been shown to undergo increased phosphorylation in response to insulin in rat adipocytes [Brownsey & Denton (1982) Biochem. J. 202, 77-86]. The acetyl-CoA carboxylase was phosphorylated at a similar rate and to a similar extent by casein kinase II, which was also purified from maturing sea-star oocytes. Although casein kinase II was also activated approximately 3-fold near the time of nuclear envelope breakdown, it was responsible for only a minor component of the total enhanced acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase activity measured in the soluble extracts from maturing oocytes. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase was a relatively poor substrate for the major S6 peptide kinase activity that was also stimulated during resumption of meiosis in the oocytes. The properties of the p44mpk are reminiscent of those of a microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) kinase that is activated in response to insulin and other mitogens in mammalian cells [Ray & Sturgill (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85, 3753-3757; Hoshi, Nishida & Sakai (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 5396-5401]. It is intriguing that several of the mammalian protein kinases that are acutely activated after mitogenic prompting of quiescent mouse fibroblasts (i.e. G0 to G1 transition), such as MAP-2 kinase, casein kinase II and S6 kinase II, have counterparts that are activated during M-phase in maturing sea star oocytes.

1. Most of the cyclic-nucleotide-independent acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase activity in an extract of rat epididymal adipose tissue was evaluated from a Mono Q column by 0.175 M-NaCl at pH 7.4. The activity of the kinase in this fraction (fraction 1) was increased after exposure of intact tissue to insulin. 2. Incubation of purified adipose-tissue acetyl-CoA carboxylase with [gamma-32P]ATP and samples of fraction 1 led to the incorporation of up to 0.4 mol of 32P/mol of enzyme subunit. Most of the phosphorylation was on serine residues within a single tryptic peptide. This peptide, on the basis of two-dimensional t.l.c. analysis, h.p.l.c. and Superose 12 chromatography, appeared to be the same as the acetyl-CoA carboxylase peptide ('I'-peptide) which exhibits increased phosphorylation in insulin-treated tissue. 3. Phosphorylation of purified acetyl-CoA carboxylase by the kinase in fraction 1 was found to be associated with a parallel 4-fold increase in activity. However, increases in both phosphorylation and activity were much diminished if fraction 1 was treated by Centricon centrifugation to remove low-Mr components. Among these components was a potent inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity which appeared to be necessary for the kinase in fraction 1 to be fully active. 4. The inhibitor remains to be identified, but inhibition requires MgATP, although the inhibitor itself does not cause any phosphorylation of the carboxylase. No effects of insulin were observed on the activity of the inhibitor. 5. It is concluded that the kinase probably plays an important role in the mechanism whereby insulin brings about the well-established increases in phosphorylation and activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in adipose tissue.

1. We have purified the AMP-activated protein kinase 4800-fold from rat liver. The acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA(HMG-CoA) reductase kinase activities copurify through all six purification steps and are inactivated with similar kinetics by treatment with the reactive ATP analogue fluorosulphonylbenzoyladenosine. 2. The final preparation contains several polypeptides detectable by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, but only one of these, with an apparent molecular mass of 63 kDa, is labelled using [14C]fluorosulphonylbenzoyladenosine. This is also the only polypeptide in the preparation that becomes significantly labelled during incubation with [gamma 32P]ATP. This autophosphorylation reaction did not affect the AMP-stimulated kinase activity. 3. In the absence of AMP the purified kinase has apparent Km values for ATP and acetyl-CoA carboxylase of 86 microM and 1.9 microM respectively. AMP increases the Vmax 3-5-fold without a significant change in the Km for either protein or ATP substrates. 4. The response to AMP depends on the ATP concentration in the assay, but at a near-physiological ATP concentration the half-maximal effect of AMP occurs at 14 microM. Studies with a range of nucleoside monophosphates and diphosphates, and AMP analogues showed that the allosteric activation by AMP was very specific. ADP gave a small stimulation at low concentrations but was inhibitory at high concentrations. 5. These results show that the AMP-activated protein kinase is the major HMG-CoA reductase kinase detectable in rat liver under our assay conditions and that it is therefore likely to be identical to previously described HMG-CoA reductase kinase(s) which are activated by adenine nucleotides and phosphorylation. The AMP-binding and catalytic domains of the kinase are located on a 63-kDa polypeptide which is subject to autophosphorylation.

We have examined the sites phosphorylated on acetyl-CoA carboxylase by three protein kinases which have been shown to inactivate the enzyme, i.e. cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase-2 (ACK2, purified from rat mammary gland) and the AMP-activated protein kinase (formerly called acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase-3, purified from rat liver). Each protein kinase phosphorylates two out of three sites (termed 1-3) which have been established by amino acid sequencing. The two sites phosphorylated by each kinase can be recovered on separate peptides, TC1 and TC2, derived by combined digestion of the native enzyme by trypsin and chymotrypsin: TC1 = Ser-2Ser(P)-Met-3Ser(P)-Gly-Leu; TC2 = Arg-Met-1Ser(P)-Phe- Cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates sites 1 and 2 exclusively, whereas the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates sites 1 and 3, plus at least one other minor site. ACK2 phosphorylates site 1 and, more slowly, an unidentified site(s) within TC1. We have also established the structures of the single major phosphopeptides (T1 and C1 respectively) which are recovered by HPLC after acetyl-CoA carboxylase phosphorylated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase is digested with trypsin or chymotrypsin alone. T1 is related to TC1, and has the structure: Ser-Ser(P)-Met-Ser-Gly-Leu-His-Leu-Val-Lys. C1 is identical with TC2. We have carried out studies on the correlation of the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase with the occupancy of sites 1, 2 and 3 during phosphorylation by each of the three protein kinases. The results suggest that phosphorylation of site 3 is primarily responsible for the large decrease in Vmax produced by the AMP-activated protein kinase, while phosphorylation of site 1 may be primarily responsible for the increase in A0.5 for citrate and more modest depression of Vmax produced by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase and ACK2. Our results emphasize that amino acid sequence information is essential in the unequivocal interpretation of data from phosphopeptide mapping experiments and allow a more complete interpretation of previous data on phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in intact cells. They also open the way to experiments which could establish the physiological roles of these protein kinases in the control of fatty acid synthesis.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase has been purified from lactating rat mammary gland using a combination of ammonium sulphate and poly(ethyleneglycol) precipitations. The enzyme was purified from 35--70-fold with a yield of over 50%, the exact figures being difficult to estimate because of activation of the enzyme that occurs during the preparation. The preparation was homogeneous by the criterion of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate and had a single subunit of molecular weight 240,000, containing 1.02 +/- 0.04 molecules of biotin and 3.1 +/- 1.7 molecules of alkali-labile phosphate per subunit. The purified enzyme was phosphorylated and inactivated rapidly when incubated in the presence of [gamma 32P]ATP and magnesium ions with the purified catalytic subunit of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle. Both phosphorylation and inactivation are blocked by the heat-stable protein inhibitor of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, and can be reversed by incubation with purified protein phosphatase-1 from rabbit skeletal muscle. The inactivation by the protein kinase and reactivation by the protein phosphatase correlate with the near-stoichiometric phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of site(s) located in a single tryptic peptide. Phosphorylation does not affect the Km for substrates, but brings about a twofold decrease in V and a twofold increase in the apparent dissociation constant for the allosteric activator, citrate. We also present evidence that the activation of rabbit mammary acetyl-CoA carboxylase by protein phosphatase-1 described previously [Hardie and Cohen (1979) FEBS Lett. 103, 333-338] is due to dephosphorylation at site(s) which are not phosphorylated by either cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase or acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase-2. These results suggest that the rapid inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and hence fatty acid synthesis, by adrenaline in adipose tissue, or glucagon in the liver, is due to phosphorylation of the enzyme by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Three cyclic AMP-independent acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinases (A, B1 and B2) have been isolated from lactating rat mammary gland, using phosphocellulose chromatography, high performance gel filtration, and affinity chromatography on casein-Sepharose and phosvitin-Sepharose. These protein kinases have been identified with previously described kinases by the following criteria. Kinase A phosphorylates the same sites on rabbit mammary acetyl-CoA carboxylase as acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase 2, which was originally described as a contaminant of rabbit mammary acetyl-CoA carboxylase purified by the poly(ethylene glycol)procedure. Kinase A will henceforth be referred to as acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase-2. Kinase B1 has been identified with casein kinase II by its heparin sensitivity, elution behaviour on phosphocellulose, molecular mass, substrate specificity and subunit composition. Kinase B2 has been identified with casein kinase I by its elution behaviour on phosphocellulose, molecular mass, substrate specificity and subunit composition. The three kinases phosphorylate distinct sites on acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Phosphorylation by either casein kinase I or II does not affect enzyme activity. However, acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase 2 inactivates acetyl-CoA carboxylase reversibly, in an identical manner to cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, and phosphorylates sites located on identical peptides. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase-2 can, however, be distinguished from the free catalytic subunit of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase by its molecular mass, its substrate specificity, its elution behaviour on phosphocellulose, and its complete lack of sensitivity to the protein inhibitor of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. We also present evidence that phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase occurs directly and not via a bicyclic cascade system as proposed by other laboratories.

The catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase stimulates the inactivation of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase by acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase. The stimulated inactivation of carboxylase is due to activation of carboxylase kinase by the catalytic subunit. Activation of carboxylase kinase activity is accompanied by the incorporation of 0.6 mol of phosphate per mole of carboxylase kinase. Addition of the regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase prevents the activation of carboxylase kinase. Phosphorylation and activation of carboxylase kinase has no effect on the Km for ATP, but decreases the Km for acetyl-CoA carboxylase from 93 to 45 nM. Inactivation of carboxylase by the carboxylase kinase requires the presence of coenzyme A even when the activated carboxylase kinase is used. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is not phosphorylated or inactivated by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Phosphorylation and inactivation of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase by acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ requires coenzyme A. Coenzyme A did not enhance the phosphorylation of alternative substrates of the carboxylase kinase such as protamine or histones. Analogs of coenzyme A were also effective in stimulating the inactivation of carboxylase. The KA of CoA for stimulated carboxylase inactivation was 25 microM. The presence of coenzyme A did not alter the Km of the carboxylase kinase for its substrates, ATP and acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Fluorescence binding studies showed that CoA binds to carboxylase but not to the kinase. The KD of CoA binding to carboxylase is 27 microM. These results indicate that coenzyme A, acting on acetyl-CoA carboxylase, may play an important role in the regulation of the covalent modification mechanism for acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

An insulin-stimulated protein kinase specific for acetyl-CoA carboxylase has been purified from rat epididymal adipose tissue using Mono-Q chromatography. The kinase binds to (and phosphorylates) the relatively inactive, dimeric form of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, but not to its active, polymeric form, and this property has been used to purify the kinase. Under the conditions used, phosphorylation by the purified kinase did not result in a detectable increase in acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity. These studies also led to the recognition of an 'activator' protein which is capable of increasing the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase without changing its phosphorylation state. It is suggested that this 'activator' protein, together with the insulin-activated acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase, may play a role in the activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by insulin.
