A procedure for the purification of cholesterol ester hydrolase from bovine adrenal cortical 105000 x g supernatant is described. Preincubation of a crude enzyme extract with [gamma-32P]ATP followed by purification resulted in the isolation of a phosphorylated preparation of cholesterol ester hydrolase. The phosphorylated cholesterol ester hydrolase appeared to be composed of 4 subunits, each having a molecular weight of 41000 +/- 280, only one of which may be phosphorylated. Preincubation of the crude enzyme preparation with [alpha-32P]ATP followed by purification did not produce a phosphorylated preparation of cholesterol ester hydrolase. Cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, cyclic AMP, ATP and magnesium ions were required for activation of purified cholesterol ester hydrolase in vitro and the time course of activation closely paralleled the time course of phosphorylation of the enzyme. The addition of ATP, cyclic AMP and magnesium ions to the bovine adrenal cortical 105000 x g supernatant produced a 2.5-fold stimulation in cholesterol ester hydrolase activity. This stimulation was abolished if protein kinase inhibitor was added prior to the addition of ATP cyclic AMP and magensium ions. The addition of magnesium ions or calcium ions to a crude preparation of cholesterol ester hydrolase was found to inhibit activity; however the same additions made to a purified preparation of cholesterol ester hydrolase were not inhibitory. The decrease in cholesterol ester hydrolase activity on incubation with magnesium ion was accompanied by a loss of 32P radioactivity from the protein. Preincubation of a crude preparation of cholesterol ester hydrolase with alkaline phosphatase resulted in a deactivation of cholesterol ester hydrolase. It is suggested that bovine adrenal cortex cholesterol ester hydrolase is activated by a phosphorylation catalysed by a cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. Deactivation of cholesterol ester hydrolase is accomplished by dephosphorylation catalysed by a phosphoprotein phosphatase, dependent on magnesium or calcium ions.

A phosphoprotein phosphatase (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.16) has been partially purified from rat liver homogenates by (NH4)2SO4 and ethanol precipitations followed by DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose 6B chromatography. The phosphoprotein phosphatase is capable of cleaving [32P]phosphate from radiolabelled phosphopyruvate kinase (type L) (EC 2.7.1.40), phosphohistones, and phosphoprotamine. However, it did not detectably dephosphorylate ATP, ADP, DL-phosphorylserine or beta-glycerophosphate. Dephosphorylation of [32P]phosphopyruvate kinase was stimulated by divalent cations and inhibited by ATP, ADP, Fru-1,6-P2, and orthophosphate. Divalene cations could reverse inhibition induced by ADP or ATP. At least one function of the phosphoprotein phosphatase may be to remove phosphate groups from the phosphorylated form of pyruvate kinase in the liver.

Incubation of purified cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophospate-dependent protein kinase with [gamma-32P]ATP and Mg2+ led to formation of one 32P-labeled protein, Mr = 75,000, which corresponded to the single protein band detected after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. When electrophoresis was performed without detergent, the labeled protein coincided with the position of cGMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Phosphorylation was enhanced severalfold by either histone or cAMP and was inhibited by the addition of cGMP. Low concentrations of cGMP blocked the stimulatory effects of cAMP or histone (or both). Since neither cAMP-dependent protein kinase nor cGMP-dependent phosphoprotein phosphatase activities were detected in the purified enzyme, we concluded that the cGMP-dependent protein kinase is a substrate for its own phosphotransferase activity and that other protein substrates (histone) and cyclic nucleotides modulate the process of self-phosphorylation.

In the preceding paper (Sheetz, M. and S.J. Singer. 1977. J Cell Biol. 73:638-646) it was shown that erythrocyte ghosts undergo pronounced shape changes in the presence of mg-ATP. The biochemical effects of the action of ATP are herein examined. The biochemical effects of the action of ATP are herein examined. Phosphorylation by ATP of spectrin component 2 of the erythrocyte membrane is known to occur. We have shown that it is only membrane protein that is significantly phosphorylated under the conditions where the shape changes are produced. The extent of this phosphorylation rises with increasing ATP concentration, reaching nearly 1 mol phosphoryle group per mole of component 2 at 8mM ATP. Most of this phosphorylation appears to occur at a single site on the protein molecule, according to cyanogen bromide peptide cleavage experiments. The degree of phosphorylation of component 2 is apparently also regulated by a membrane-bound protein phosphatase. This activity can be demonstrated in erythrocyte ghosts prepared from intact cells prelabeled with [(32)P]phosphate. In addition to the phosphorylation of component 2, some phosphorylation of lipids, mainly of phosphatidylinositol, is also known to occur. The ghost shape changes are, however, shown to be correlated with the degree of phosphorylation of component 2. In such experiment, the incorporation of exogenous phosphatases into ghosts reversed the shape changes produced by ATP, or by the membrane-intercalating drug chlorpromazine. The results obtained in this and the preceding paper are consistent with the proposal that the erythrocyte membrane possesses kinase and phosphates activities which produce phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of a specific site on spectrin component 2 molecules; the steady-state level of this phosphorylation regulates the structural state of the spectrin complex on the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane, which in turn exerts an important control on the shape of the cell.

We have previously reported that the uptake of colchicine and other drugs in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells can be greatly enhanced by the addition of metabolic inhibitors such as cyanide (See, Y.P., Carlsen, S.A., Till, J.E. and Ling, V. (1974) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 373, 242-252). This has led us to postulate the presence of an active drug permeability barrier in these cells. In this paper we provide evidence for the dependence of this permeability barrier on intracellular ATP levels. Colchicine-resistant mutants of CHO cells exhibiting a reduced drug permeability, however, can maintain this drug permeability barrier at much lower ATP levels, suggesting that they possess an altered active drug permeability barrier. We have also observed a membrane-associated protein kinase-phosphoprotein phosphatase system in the isolated membranes of mutant and wild-type cells. Differences in the intrinsic protein phosphorylation patterns between the membranes of these cells have led us to conclude that the control of the drug permeability barrier may be mediated via the phosphorylation of at least two high molecular weight surface glycoproteins.

Adenine- and uridine di- and triphosphates (in a 3 mM concentration) increase considerably phosphoprotein phosphatase (PPPase) (EC 3.1.3.16) activity of rat and chicken myocardium homogenates. AMP and Pi are effective inhibitors of the enzyme. The ATP activating effect is also shown in partially purified preparations of rat myocardium PPPase. ATP is able of protecting significantly the enzyme during its thermodenaturation.

Phosphohistone phosphatase (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.16) of canine heart extract has been separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography into 4 molecular forms, namely phosphatases A (Mr = 156 000), B (Mr = 161 000), C (Mr = 95 600) and U (Mr = 61 000). ATP inhibited phosphatase A, stimulated phosphatase B and did not significantly affect phosphatase C activity. Phosphatase U requires Mn2+ for activity, under which condition ATP is inhibitory. Phosphatases A, B and C, but not phosphatase U, were dissociated by ethanol into catalytic subunits that were inhibited by ATP, insensitive to Mn2+, and had a common molecular weight of 34 800 (phosphatase S). The dissociation was accompanied by an increase of enzymic activity. Chromatography of the ethanol-treated 55% (NH4)2SO4 fraction of canine heart extract on DEAE-cellulose demonstrated that the multiple forms of phosphohistone phosphatase could be reduced to two forms: phosphatase U and phosphatase S, which may represent two basic constituents of the multiple forms of phosphohistone phosphatase in canine heart.

1. Calcium transport into microsomal vesicles of respiratory (tracheal) smooth muscle was characterized. This calcium transport was ATP dependent and stimulated by the presence of the oxalate ion. The magnitude of transport was similar to that reported for microsomes from other types of smooth muscle. 2. Bovine and rabbit, heavy and light microsomes were isolated from respiratory (tracheal) and vascular (aortic) smooth muscle. Preincubation of these vesicles with cyclic AMP and protein kinase did not alter the transport of calcium into the vesicles. There uas no evidence of phosphate incorporation into microsomal membrane proteins. Similar results were obtained if phosphorylase b kinase replaced the combination of cyclic AMP and protein kinase during the preincubation. 3. The phosphoprotein phosphatase activity of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and smooth muscle microsomes was determined. The activity of this enzyme was found to be several-fold less in the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum than in various smooth muscle microsome preparations.

Properties of the ATP-dependent calcium transport system of heart sarcolemma are presented. Calcium accumulation (with oxalate) in sarcolemma was increased due to cAMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphorylase b kinase. Protein kinase increased the Vmax of the sarcolemmal calcium accumulation without any detectable effect on the affinity for Ca2+. Both kinases failed to stimulate calcium binding. Protein kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of membrane proteins of molecular weights of 100,000, 25,000, and 14,000. Phosphorylase b kinase also catalyzed phosphorylation of these proteins. Protein kinase stimulated ATPase activity of sarcolemma. Sarcolemma contained endogenous protein kinase and protein phosphatase activities.

Phosphoprotein phosphatase (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.16) from bovine tracheal smooth muscle extracts was isolated and its activity determined using two [32P]phosphorylated proteins as substrates, i.e. phosphorylated histone (H-P) and a phosphorylated muscle specific substrate protein (MS-P) for the tracheal smooth muscle protein kinase. The enzyme was purified by the use of DEAE-cellulose followed by a two stage chromatography on a histone-Sepharose affinity column. Elution from the affinity column resolved the phosphoprotein phosphatase into four activity fractions. While fractions expressed phosphatase activity against both tested substrates the relative amounts of either activity varied. The ratio of activity towards H-P to activity towards MS-P changed from 11.5 to 0.12. The characterization of four phosphoprotein phosphatase fractions was based on the differences found in the following parameters: substrate specificity; sensitivity to NaF; influences of nucleotides (ATP, 5'-AMP, cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP) and the requirement of Mn2+ for maximal activity. Mg2+, Ba2+ or Ca2+ could not substitute for Mn2+.
