Phosphoinositide breakdown in response to thrombin stimulation of human platelets results in the formation of the calcium-mobilizing messenger molecules inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1,2-cyclic-4,5-trisphosphate and of diglyceride, which activates protein kinase C. We find that protein kinase C phosphorylates and thereby increases the activity of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 5'-phosphomonoesterase, a phosphatase that hydrolyzes these molecules to inert compounds. The 5'-phosphomonoesterase phosphorylated using [gamma-32P]ATP comigrates on SDS-polyacrylamide gels with a protein (40 kd) phosphorylated rapidly in response to thrombin stimulation of 32PO4-labeled platelets. Peptide maps of proteolytic digests of these two phosphorylated proteins indicate that they are the same. We propose that platelet Ca2+ mobilization is regulated by protein kinase C phosphorylation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 5'-phosphomonoesterase. These results explain the observation that phorbol ester treatment of intact human platelets results in decreased levels of inositol trisphosphate and decreased Ca2+ mobilization upon subsequent thrombin addition.

We investigated the effects of bile duct ligation on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities in liver, calvarium, duodenum, and ileum in rats and its possible mechanism of action. ALP isozyme activities in the ligated rats were significantly elevated in the liver and duodenum, while those in the ileum and calvarium were markedly decreased. The ALP isozyme activity elevated by the ligation was obviously suppressed by prior administration of indomethacin, an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis. Moreover, phorbol ester also elevated the ALP activity as well as the phosphatase level in the ligated rat. However, other drugs, such as an inhibitor of protein kinase C and calmodulin, showed different effects: calmodulin stimulated an 11.0-, 1.3-, or 1.5-fold increase in ALP activity in the ileum, duodenum, or calvarium, respectively; whereas the hepatic enzyme activity was not affected. The induction by calmodulin was markedly different from that by the ligation. Moreover, imipramine, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, had little effect. These results suggest that prostaglandin is a possible ALP inducer in ligated rats, probably working by elevating the cAMP level. On the other hand, the ligation induced simultaneously de novo synthesis of the membranous and soluble ALP isozymes; and the release rate of the soluble enzyme was greater than that of the membranous isozymes, indicating that the soluble enzyme might be a main source of the induced serum ALP. Lectin affinity chromatography indicated that the soluble enzyme or induced serum enzyme may contain more fucose than that of the membranous one, suggesting that the sugar moiety in the ALP molecule may relate to the clearance of ALP from or its release into the circulation.

Purified bovine heart 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase can be phosphorylated in the presence of protein kinase C and dephosphorylated by alkaline phosphatase; changes in phosphorylation state have no effect on enzyme activity. By contrast, the rat liver enzyme is a poor substrate for protein kinase C. Unlike the liver enzyme, which is bifunctional and is phosphorylated by fructose 2,6-[2-32P]bisphosphate, the heart enzyme contains 10 times less fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase activity and is phosphorylated at a slower rate and to a lesser extent than the liver enzyme. Both rat liver and bovine heart enzymes catalyse a similar exchange reaction between [U-14C]ADP and ATP.

We have investigated the covalent modification of the proteins encoded by the murine fos proto-oncogene (c-fos) and that of the corresponding gene product of FBJ murine osteosarcoma virus (v-fos). Both proteins are posttranslationally processed in the cell, resulting in forms with lower electrophoretic mobilities than that of the initial translation product on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Treatment with alkaline phosphatase indicates that most, if not all, of this electrophoretic shift is due to phosphoesterification of both proteins. These phosphoryl groups stoichiometrically modify the v-fos and c-fos proteins on serine residues and turn over rapidly in vivo in the presence of protein kinase inhibitors (half-life, less than 15 min). Direct quantitative comparison of steady-state labeling studies with L-[35S]methionine and [32P]phosphate reveals that the c-fos protein is four- to fivefold more highly phosphorylated than the v-fos protein is. Comparison of tryptic fragments from [32P]phosphate-labeled proteins indicates that although the two proteins have several tryptic phosphopeptides in common, the c-fos protein contains unique major tryptic phosphopeptides that the v-fos protein lacks. These unique sites of c-fos phosphorylation have been tentatively localized to the carboxy-terminal 20 amino acid residues of the protein. Phosphorylation of the c-fos protein, but not the v-fos protein, can be stimulated at least fivefold in vivo by the addition of either 12-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate or serum. This increase in the steady-state degree of phosphorylation of c-fos appears to be independent of protein kinase C since phosphorylation is Ca2+ and diacylglycerol independent. The possible role of phosphorylation of these proteins in cellular transformation is discussed.

The effect of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on the function of the insulin receptor was examined in intact hepatoma cells (Fao) and in solubilized extracts purified by wheat germ agglutinin chromatography. Incubation of ortho[32P]phosphate-labeled Fao cells with TPA increased the phosphorylation of the insulin receptor 2-fold after 30 min. Analysis of tryptic phosphopeptides from the beta-subunit of the receptor by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and determination of their phosphoamino acid composition suggested that TPA predominantly stimulated phosphorylation of serine residues in a single tryptic peptide. Incubation of the Fao cells with insulin (100 nM) for 1 min stimulated 4-fold the phosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor. Prior treatment of the cells with TPA inhibited the insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation by 50%. The receptors extracted with Triton X-100 from TPA-treated Fao cells and purified on immobilized wheat germ agglutinin retained the alteration in kinase activity and exhibited a 50% decrease in insulin-stimulated tyrosine autophosphorylation and phosphotransferase activity toward exogenous substrates. This was due primarily to a decrease in the Vmax for these reactions. TPA treatment also decreased the Km of the insulin receptor for ATP. Incubation of the insulin receptor purified from TPA-treated cells with alkaline phosphatase decreased the phosphate content of the beta-subunit to the control level and reversed the inhibition, suggesting that the serine phosphorylation of the beta-subunit was responsible for the decreased tyrosine kinase activity. Our results support the notion that the insulin receptor is a substrate for protein kinase C in the Fao cell and that the increase in serine phosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the receptor produced by TPA treatment inhibited tyrosine kinase activity in vivo and in vitro. These data suggest that protein kinase C may regulate the function of the insulin receptor.

Phosphoprotein B-50 was extracted from rat brain membranes by alkaline extraction and purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation and flat-bed isoelectric focusing. The purified protein shows microheterogeneity upon isoelectric focusing in a narrow pH gradient (pH 3.5-5.0). As visualized by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, B-50 resolved into four clearly separated forms which differ slightly in isoelectric point. The forms are in part mutually convertible by exhaustive phosphorylation (using protein kinase C) and dephosphorylation (using Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase). Proteolysis with Staphylococcus aureus protease yielded two radioactive peptides. Analysis of their molecular weights and the time course of their formation suggests that B-50 was cleaved at only one specific site. Our data indicate the presence of more than one phosphorylatable site. The possibility that the heterogeneity of B-50 was in part due to a glycoprotein nature of B-50 was studied extensively. However, none of the six different methods used revealed the presence of glyco-moieties in B-50.

We characterized the effect of the tumor promoter phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on osteoblast function and DNA synthesis in 21-day-old fetal rat calvaria maintained in organ culture. Protein synthesis was determined by measuring the incorporation of [3H]proline into collagenase-digestible (CDP) and noncollagen protein (NCP), respectively. Alkaline phosphatase activity was assessed as the release of p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenol phosphate. DNA synthesis was determined by the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into acid-insoluble bone and total DNA content. PMA at 3-100 ng/ml (4-133 nM) caused a dose-related inhibition of collagen synthesis that was observed 6 hours after adding PMA to calvaria. PMA inhibited collagen synthesis in the osteoblast-rich central bone of calvaria but did not alter collagen synthesis in the periosteum. There was little effect of PMA on noncollagen protein synthesis in the central bone or periosteum. Phorbol esters that do not promote tumor formation in vivo did not alter collagen synthesis in calvaria. PMA stimulated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in calvaria, but indomethacin did not alter the inhibitory effect of PMA on bone collagen synthesis. PMA decreased alkaline phosphatase activity measured after 48 hr of culture and increased the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into bone and DNA content after 96 hr of culture. These data indicate that PMA inhibits collagen synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity, while stimulating DNA synthesis, suggesting that activation of protein kinase C might regulate osteoblast function and bone cell replication.

We have demonstrated that the purified guanine nine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) may be isolated as a complex with NADPH. Complete inhibition of the GEF-catalyzed exchange of eukaryotic initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP was observed in the presence of either 0.5-0.75 mM NAD+ or NADP+. Incubation of GEF with ATP results in the phosphorylation of its Mr 82,000 polypeptide. This phosphorylation is strongly inhibited by heparin but is not affected by heme or H8 (N-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide dihydrochloride), an inhibitor of cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinases and protein kinase C. The purification of GEF was modified to eliminate any contaminating kinase activity and the isolated protein appears to be homogeneous as judged by NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. The Mr 82,000 subunit of GEF is phosphorylated only upon addition of ATP and casein kinase II. The extent of phosphorylation is approximately equal to 0.55 mol of phosphate per mol of GEF, and this results in a 2.3-fold increase in the guanine nucleotide exchange activity. Following treatment of the phosphorylated GEF with alkaline phosphatase, the activity of the protein is reduced by a factor of 5. Rephosphorylation of GEF increases its specific activity to that of the phosphorylated protein. The results of this study suggest that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of GEF plays a role in regulating polypeptide chain initiation.

Activation of calcium-stimulated phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) by diacylglycerols and phorbol esters has been shown to mediate the release of secretory proteins in several systems. To determine whether PKC activation is involved in regulation of the release of human placental lactogen (hPL) from the placenta, we examined the effects of various acylglycerols and phorbol esters on the release of hPL from cultured human trophoblast cells. Sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (diC8) and phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), both of which stimulate placental protein kinase C activity, caused dose-dependent increases in hPL release over a 0.5-h period. The maximal amounts of hPL released in response to diC8 (300 microM) and PMA (10(-8) M) were 200-300% and 150-225% greater, respectively, than that released in response to diluent alone. Acylglycerols and phorbol esters, which are less potent stimulators of PKC activity in other systems, stimulated hPL release to a lesser extent than either diC8 or PMA. PKC-inactive acylglycerols and phorbol esters were without effect. After 0.5 h of exposure, diC8 (300 microM)- and PMA (10(-8) M)-exposed cells synthesized 257.5% and 250.3% more hPL than control cells. Cycloheximide at a dose (50 micrograms/ml) that inhibited the synthesis of trichloroacetic acid-precipitable [35S]methionyl placental proteins by more than 80% completely blocked the stimulatory effects of diC8 and PMA on hPL synthesis and release. Although diC8 and PMA stimulated the synthesis and release of hPL, these compounds had no effect on the release of hCG and did not cause the release of the cytosolic enzymes lactic dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase. The demonstration that acylglycerols and phorbol esters stimulate the synthesis and release of hPL strongly implicates protein kinase C activation in the mechanisms of hPL synthesis and release.

Most chemical carcinogens require activation by polysubstrate monooxygenase. The phosphorylation of essential components of this cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase system, isolated from rabbit liver microsomes, cytochrome P-450 (LM2) and cytochrome reductase, was tested using two different protein kinases. One of the kinases, a cyclic AMP-independent phosvitin kinase (kinase P), was inactive in all systems tested. However, the catalytic subunit of a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (kinase C) catalyzed phosphoryl group transfer to both proteins, but to different extents. Cytochrome P-450 was phosphorylated when added as sole component and also when in the presence of P-450 reductase and phosphatidylcholine. In contrast, the weak phosphorylation of P-450 reductase was reduced considerably in a complete reconstituted system containing P-450 and phosphatidylcholine. The inclusion of kinase P did not alter these results which excludes the possibility that these kinases participate in a sequential phosphorylation mechanism. The monooxygenase constituents themselves were without kinase activity. When hepatic microsomes were isolated in presence of the phosphatase inhibitor sodium fluoride no significant change in monooxygenase (7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation) activity was observed, whilst after preincubation with either acid or alkaline phosphatase a significant reduction in monooxygenase activity was measured. Thus, cytochrome P-450 (LM2) is phosphorylatable by protein kinase C and the catalytic activity of polysubstrate monooxygenase decreases after preincubation of microsomes with phosphatases.
