The phosphoprotein phosphatase(s) acting on muscle phosphorylase a was purified from rabbit liver by acid precipitation, high speed centrifugation, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, Sephadex G-75, and Sepharose-histone. Enzyme activity was recovered in the final step as two distinct peaks tentatively referred to as phosphoprotein phosphatases I and II. Each phosphatase showed a single broad band when examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis; the molecular weights derived by this method were approximately 30,500 for phosphoprotein phosphatase I and 34,000 for phosphoprotein phosphatase II. The s20, w value for each enzyme was 3.40. Using this value and values for the Stokes radii, the molecular weight for each enzyme was calculated to be 34,500. Both phosphatases, in addition to catalyzing the conversion of phosphorylase a to b, also catalyzed the dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase D, activated phosphorylase kinase, phosphorylated histone, phosphorylated casein, and the phosphorylated inhibitory component of troponin (TN-I). The relative activities of the phosphatases with respect to phosphorylase a, glycogen synthase D, histone, and casein remained essentially constant throughout the purification. The activities of both phosphatases with different substrates decreased in parallel when they were denatured by incubation at 55 degrees and 65 degrees. The Km values of phosphoprotein phosphatase I for phosphorylase a, histone, and casein were lower than the values obtained for phosphoprotein phosphatase II. With glycogen synthase D as substrate, each enzyme gave essentially the same Km value. Utilizing either enzyme, it was found that activity toward a given substrate was inhibited competitively by each of the alternative substrates. The results suggest that phosphoprotein phosphatases I and II are each active toward all of the substrates tested.

1. Phosphoprotein phosphatase (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase EC 3.1.3.16) in the soluble fraction of rabbit liver which catalyzes the dephosphorylation of muscle phosphorylase a and phosphohistone (P-histone) was resolved into three active fractions by NaCl gradient elution from a DEAE-cellulose column (Fraction I, 11 and III in order of elution). They have different relative reaction rates for the two substrates and different degrees of stimulation by Mn-2+. Apparent Km values of Fraction I, II and III were 15, 20 and 16 muM for phosphorylase a, and 6.9, 5.3 and 4.4 muM for P-histone, respectively (with Mn-2+ in the assay mixture). 2. On sucrose density gradient centrifugation Fraction I and II were revealed to contain a major peak (7.0 S and 7.8 S, respectively) and a minor peak (4.0 S) of activity, while Fraction III contained only one peak (5.8 S). Freezing and thawing in the presence of 0.2 M mercaptoethanol dissociated all three fractions into subunits of similar molecular size (3.4 S), with concomitant enhancement of phosphorylase phosphatase activity. The Km values all became essentially the same (20 muM for phosphorylase a and 16 muM for P-histone). 3. The phosphorylase phosphatase and P-histone phosphatase activities could not be separated with any of the procedures described. Competition between the two phosphoprotein substrates was observed with some of the fractions.?

The regulatory mechanism of a phosphoprotein phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16), which is considered to catalyze the dephosphorylation reaction of several phosphoproteins (glycogen synthetase-D (EC 2.4.1.11), phospho-form of phosphorylase b kinase (EC 2.7.1.38), phosphohistone and phosphorylase a (EC 2.4.1.1)), was studied with partially purified preparations from rabbit skeletal muscle. Time- and temperature-dependent inactivation and reactivation of phosphohistone phosphatase, as well as phosphorylase phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.17), were observed on pre0incubation of the enzyme(s) with ATP, and subsequent incubation with divalent metal ions (Mg2+, Mn2+, or Co2+) without any change of molecular size. Manganese, however, instantly restored the activity of the ATP-inactivated enzyme, and increased the maximal velocity of the enzyme while decreasing its affinity to phosphorylase a. However, the metal ion inhibited the reactivated enzyme competively with respect to phosphorylase a. It is suggested that phosphoprotein phosphatase(s) is a metalloenzyme, and that ATP results in a conformational change of the enzyme protein in such a way that a metal ion can be easily released due to the chelating effect of ATP, or incorporated (in the presence of excess metal ions) into the enzyme protein.

Partially purified rabbit skeletal muscle phosphorylase phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.17; phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase) was inactivated when it was incubated with exogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37; ATP:protein phosphotransferase), cyclic AMP, and ATP-Mg. Subsequent separation of the phosphatase by acrylamide gel electrophoresis or sucrose density centrifugation resulted in reactivation of the enzyme. The phosphatase decreased in molecular weight from approximately 70,000 to 52,000, and a phosphorylated inhibitor with molecular weight of 26,000 was found. Reactivation of phosphatase also occurred when it was incubated with MnCl2 or trypsin. The inhibitor was effective at less than 10(-8) M and was relatively heat stable. Its activity was destroyed by tryptic digestion and by dephosphorylation by a Mn-stimulated phosphatase. These observations support the possibility that phosphorylase phosphatase activity is controlled by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and a Mn-stimulated phosphatase by a reaction involving phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of a protein phosphatase inhibitor.

Two heat-stable and trypsin-labile inhibitors of phosphorylase phosphatase, designated inhibitor-1 and inhibitor-2, were partially purified from extracts of rabbit skeletal muscle by heating and coloumn chromatography using DEAE-dellulose and Bio-gel P-60. Inhibitor-1 exists in an active phosphorylated form and an inactive dephosphorylated form. The interconversion of phosphorylated inhibitor-1 and dephosphorylated inhibitor-1 is mediated by protein kinase dependent on adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and a Mn2+-stimulated phosphoprotein phosphatase. Inhibitory activity of inhibitor-2 is not influenced by treatment with either the kinase or the Mn2+-stimulated phosphatase. The molecular weights of inhibitor-1 and inhibitor-2 estimated by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis are 26000 and 33000 respectively. Both inhibitor-1 and inhibitor-2 inhibit phosphorylase phosphatase by a mechanism which appears to be non-competitive with respect to the substrate phosphorylase a. Inhibitor fractions at early stages of purification also inhibit cyclic-AMP-dependent histone phosphorylation, but this kinase inhibitory activity resides with a protein moiety which is separable from inhibitor-1 and inhibitor-2.

The D to I conversion of glycogen synthase from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes was examined both in a gel-filtered homogenate and in a preparation of glycogen particles with adhering enzymes, purified by chromatography on concanavalin A bound to Sepharose. It was found that glucose 6-phosphate as well as mannose 6-phosphate, glucosamine 6-phosphate, and 2-deoxy-glucose 6-phosphate activated the reaction, whereas the corresponding sugars were without effect. Mn2+ and Ca2+ increased the conversion rate by 51% and 27%, respectively, whereas Mg2+ and inorganic phosphate were without effect. Sodium fluoride inhibited the reaction completely. Glycogen inhibited the reaction in physiological concentrations and 0.5 mM glucose 6-phosphate was able to overcome this inhibition. MgATP greatly augmented the inhibition caused by glycogen in the glycogen particle preparation. This combined effect could be overcome by glucose 6-phosphate in concentrations from 0.1 to 1 mM. Phosphorylase alpha purified from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes inhibited the D to I conversion in a glycogen particle preparation. The inhibition was counteracted by glucose 6-phosphate and to a lesser degree by AMP. Phosphorylase beta was also inhibitory, but only at higher concentrations than phosphorylase alpha. No phosphorylase phosphatase activity was found in the glycogen particle preparation, which may indicate that chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose separates this enzyme from the synthase phosphatase or partially destroys the activity of a hypothetical common protein phosphatase.

Phosphoprotein phosphatase [phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase EC 3.1.3.16] in the soluble fraction of rabbit skeletal muscle, when assayed with phosphorylase a[EC 2.4.1.1] from rabbit skeletal muscle and phosphohistone as substrates, was resolved into three active fractions (Fractions I, II, and III in order of elution) by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation showed that these fractions were composed of subfractions of different molecular size (I: 7.3S and 4S; II: 8S and 4S; III; 6.7S). Components with larger molecular size in the major fractions, II and III, were dissociated to a molecular size similar to that of the smallest component on freezing in the presence of mercaptoethanol. These results indicate that phosphoprotein phosphatase from skeletal muscle occurs in multiple forms very similar to those of the liver enzyme reported previously (Kobayashi, Kato and Sato (1975) Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 373, 343-355).

Muscle extracts were subjected to fractionation with ethanol, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, precipitation with (NH4)2SO4 and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. These fractions were assayed for protein phosphatase activities by using the following seven phosphoprotein substrates: phosphorylase a, glycogen synthase b1, glycogen synthase b2, phosphorylase kinase (phosphorylated in either the alpha-subunit or the beta-subunit), histone H1 and histone H2B. Three protein phosphatases with distinctive specificities were resolved by the final gel-filtration step and were termed I, II and III. Protein phosphatase-I, apparent mol.wt. 300000, was an active histone phosphatase, but it accounted for only 10-15% of the glycogen synthase phosphatase-1 and glycogen synthase phosphatase-2 activities and 2-3% of the phosphorylase kinase phosphatase and phosphorylase phosphatase activity recovered from the Sephadex G-200 column. Protein phosphatase-II, apparent mol.wt. 170000, possessed histone phosphatase activity similar to that of protein phosphatase-I. It possessed more than 95% of the activity towards the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase that was recovered from Sephadex G-200. It accounted for 10-15% of the glycogen synthase phosphatase-1 and glycogen synthase phosphatase-2 activity, but less than 5% of the activity against the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase and 1-2% of the phosphorylase phosphatase activity recovered from Sephadex G-200. Protein phosphatase-III was the most active histone phosphatase. It possessed 95% of the phosphorylase phosphatase and beta-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase activities, and 75% of the glycogen synthase phosphatase-1 and glycogen synthase phosphatase-2 activities recovered from Sephadex G-200. It accounted for less than 5% of the alpha-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase activity. Protein phosphatase-III was sometimes eluted from Sephadex-G-200 as a species of apparent mol.wt. 75000(termed IIIA), sometimes as a species of mol.wt. 46000(termed IIIB) and sometimes as a mixture of both components. The substrate specificities of protein phosphatases-IIA and -IIB were identical. These findings, taken with the observation that phosphorylase phosphatase, beta-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase, glycogen synthase phosphatase-1 and glycogen synthase phosphatase-2 activities co-purified up to the Sephadex G-200 step, suggest that a single protein phosphatase (protein phosphatase-III) catalyses each of the dephosphorylation reactions that inhibit glycogenolysis or stimulate glycogen synthesis. This contention is further supported by results presented in the following paper [Cohen, P., Nimmo, G.A. & Antoniw, J.F. (1977) Biochem. J. 1628 435-444] which describes a heat-stable protein that is a specific inhibitor of protein phosphatase-III.

A hear-stable protein, which is a specific inhibitor of protein phosphatase-III, was purified 700-fold from skeletal muscle by a procedure that involved heat-treatment at 95 degrees C, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The final step completely resolved the protein phosphatase inhibitor from the protein inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The phosphorylase phosphatase, beta-phosphorylase kinase phosphatase, glycogen synthase phosphatase-1 and glycogen synthase phosphatase-2 activities of protein phosphatase-III [Antoniw, J. F., Nimmo, H. G., Yeaman, S. J. & Cohen, P.(1977) Biochem.J. 162, 423-433] were inhibited in a very similar manner by the protein phosphatase inhibitor and at least 95% inhibition was observed at high concentrations of inhibitor. The two forms of protein phosphatase-III, termed IIIA and IIIB, were equally susceptible to the protein phosphatase inhibitor. The protein phosphatase inhibitor was at least 200 times less effective in inhibiting the activity of protein phosphatase-I and protein phosphatase-II. The high degree of specificity of the inhibitor for protein phosphatase-III was used to show that 90% of the phosphorylase phosphatase and glycogen synthase phosphatase activities measured in muscle extracts are catalysed by protein phosphatase-III. Protein phosphatase-III was tightly associated with the protein-glycogen complex that can be isolated from skeletal muscle, whereas the protein phosphatase inhibitor and protein phosphatase-II were not. The results provide further evidence that the enzyme that catalyses the dephosphorylation of the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase (protein phosphatase-II) and the enzyme that catalyses the dephosphorylation of the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase (protein phosphatase-III) are distinct. The results suggest that the protein phosphatase inhibitor may be a useful probe for differentiating different classes of protein phosphatases in mammalian cells.

A heat-and acid-stable protein inhibitor of phosphorylase phosphatase is present in a highly purified preparation of protein inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle. Although these two inhibitors have strikingly similar properties to each other, such as sensitivity to trypsin and behavior on gel permeation chromatography, they can be separated by polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. This indicates that the phosphatase-inhibitory and kinase-inhibitory activities reside with different protein species. The inhibition of both the enzymes is not altered by incubating the inhibitor preparation with a general phosphoprotein phosphatase, with phosvitin kinase, or with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Inhibition of phosphorylase phosphatase is of a non-competitive type supporting the idea that the phosphatase inhibitor is not an alternative substrate for the enzyme. Inhibition of phosphatase activity is selective in that it does no occur when phosphorylated histone or phosphorylated protamine are used as substrates.
