The phosphorylation of spectrin polypeptide 2 is thought to be involved in the metabolically dependent regulation of red cell shape and deformability. Spectrin phosphorylation is not affected by cAMP. The reaction in isolated membranes resembles the cAMP-independent, salt-stimulated phosphorylation of an exogenous substrate, casein, by enzyme(s) present both in isolated membranes and cytoplasmic extracts. Spectrin kinase is selectively eluted from membranes by 0.5 M NaCl and co-fractionates with eluted casein kinase. Phosphorylation of band 3 in the membrane is inhibited by salt, but the band 3 kinase is otherwise indistinguishable operationally from spectrin kinase. The membrane-bound casein (spectrin) kinase is not eluted efficiently with spectrin at low ionic strength; about 80% of the activity is apparently bound at sites (perhaps on or near band 3) other than spectrin. Partitioning of casein kinase between cytoplasm and membrane is metabolically dependent; the proportion of casein kinase on the membrane can range from 25% to 75%, but for fresh cells is normally about 40%. Dephosphorylation of phosphorylated spectrin has not been studied intensively. Slow release of 32Pi from [32P] spectrin on the membrane can be demonstrated, but phosphatase activity measured against solubilized [32P] spectrin is concentrated in the cytoplasm. The crude cytoplasmic phosphospectrin phosphatase is inhibited by various anions--notably, ATP and 2,3-DPG at physiological concentrations. Regulation of spectrin phosphorylation in intact cells has not been studied. We speculate that spectrin phosphorylation state may be regulated 1) by metabolic intermediates and other internal chemical signals that modulate kinase and phosphatase activities per se or determine their intracellular localization and 2) by membrane deformation that alters enzyme-spectrin interaction locally. Progress in the isolation and characterization of spectrin kinase and phosphospectrin phosphatase should lead to the resolution of major questions raised by previous work: the relationships between membrane-bound and cytoplasmic forms of the enzymes, the nature of their physical interactions with the membrane, and the regulation of their activities in defined cell-free systems.

Phosphoprotein phosphatase (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase EC 3.1.3.16) activity for myelin basic protein was found to be present in the myelin fraction of rat brain. The enzyme activity was in a latent form and solubilized by 0.2% Triton X-100 treatment with about 50% increase of activity. The cytosol fraction from bovine brain also had phosphoprotein phosphatase activity for myelin basic protein, which was resolved into at least two peaks of activity on DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Myelin basic protein was the best substrate for both the solubilized myelin fraction and the cytosol enzymes among the substrate proteins tested. The Km values of the solubilized myelin fraction were 4.2 muM for myelin basic protein, 7.4 muM for arginine-rich histone, 8.0 muM for histone mixture and 14.3 muM for protamine, respectively.

We have studied the effect of protein phosphokinase (EC 2.7.1.37; ATP:protein phosphotransferase) and phosphoprotein phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16; phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase) on reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA nucleotidyltransferase) activity of Rous sarcoma virus. Protein kinase from Rous sarcoma virus-transformed chick embryo fibroblasts was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex gel filtration, and isoelectric focusing. Purified reverse transcriptase from Rouse sarcoma virus was preincubated with protein kinase and ATP under conditions allowing incorporation of phosphate into substrate protein. After the preincubation, reverse transcriptase activity was assayed in the presence of poly(rA).oligo(dT) as template. A 2- to 5-fold increase of reverse transcriptase activity was found after the preincubation of reverse transcriptase with protein kinase and ATP. Incubation of reverse transcriptase with heat-treated, inactive protein kinase and ATP had no effect on transcriptase activity. When the transcriptase preparation was incubated with protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP and subsequently purified by chromatography on phosphocellulose and Sephadex gel filtration, significant amounts of 32P-labeled proteins were found in the fractions exhibiting reverse transcriptase activity, suggesting 32P incorporation into transcriptase or transcriptase-associated proteins. A 20-60% decrease of reverse transcriptase activity was observed after incubation of reverse transcriptase with phosphatase. The results suggest that phosphorylative modification of reverse transcriptase may be critical in the regulation of reverse transcriptase-catalyzed DNA synthesis.

Activity of RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RDDP) from avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV), either in purified form or in virus lysates, was increased by phosphorylation. Stability of RDDP in lysates buffered with phosphate was much greater (no loss of activity in 48 hours at 4 degrees) than that in lysates buffered with Tris-Cl (76% loss). Activity lost in the Tris-buffered extracts was completely restored by phosphorylation. The findings suggested that AMV RDDP activity is influenced by the degree of phosphorylation of the enzyme or enzyme-associated proteins and that this chemical modification is mediated by protein phosphokinase and phosphoprotein phosphatase present in crude extracts of purified AMV. Application of these results provided the basis of procedures whereby RDDP can be recovered in significantly higher yield and purity than formerly.

Bovine adipose-tissue glycogen metabolism was studied during food deprivation and re-feeding. Changes in the specific activity of adipose-tissue glycogen synthase paralleled changes in tissue glycogen content: both parameters increased during food deprivation and remained so during the first 10 days of re-feeding. The values for the A0.5 (activation constant) for glucose 6-phosphate of the freshly isolated enzyme from adipose tissue from fed and starved steers were 2.9 +/- 0.1 mM and 0.90 +/- 0.05 mM respectively. Additionally, whereas incubation of adipose-tissue extracts from fed steers did not activate endogenous glycogen synthase (through a presumed phosphoprotein phosphatase mechanism), the enzyme from starved or re-fed (up to 3 days re-feeding) steers was reversibly activated as measured by changes in the value for the A0.5 for glucose 6-phosphate. Thus activation of bovine adipose-tissue glycogen synthase during food deprivation appears to be related to expression of glycogen synthase phosphatase activity. These effects of food deprivation on bovine glycogen metabolism contrast markedly with the effects observed in rat adipose tissue.

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.?

Plasma membranes have been prepared from porcine thyroid glands using sucrose gradients. The fractions having a density in sucrose of 1.18 g/ml mainly contained plasma membranes and were moderately contaminated with other subcellular components as shown by marker enzyme data. Purified plasma membranes incubated in the presence of [32-P]gamma ATP incorporated 32-P. Kinetics of incorporation of 32-P into endogenous substrates studied in various buffers and with increasing ATP concentration suggest a phosphodephosphorylating system related to cAMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphoprotein phosphatase activities. The two enzymatic activities associated with plasma membranes have been demonstrated using exogenous substrates. cAMP increases and fluoride ions decrease the extent of membrane phosphorylation. The specific activity of protein kinase was 10-12 times higher than in the initial homogenate and was only slightly enhanced in the presence of 0.5% Nonidet as compared to microsomal fraction. cAMP binding to membrane proteins was 3 times higher than to the other particulate fractions. TSH present in the incubating medium or added after 5 min of 32-P labelling induced a rapid stimulation of endogenous phosphorylation followed by a rapid decrease. Phosphorylated membrane substrates were analyzed: high voltage paper electrophoresis after partial hydrolysis indicated that [32-P]phosphate is incorporated into serine and threonine residues as o-phosphate derivatives. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed several 32--labelled fractions. When enhanced by cAMP, no specific phosphorylation of protein components was observed.

A protein whose endogenous phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are affected by cAMP has been found in the soluble and particulate fractions of all vertebrate tissues studied. This phosphoprotein, which contained a substantial proportion of the radioactive phosphate observed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels, was estimated to have an apparent molecular weight of 49,000. In the presence of Zn++, cAMP inhibited the endogenous phosphorylation of this protein (protein 49) in the cytosol and microsomal fractions. In the presence of Mg++, cAMP stimulated the phosphorylation of protein 49 in the cytosol fractions, but had only slight effects in the microsomal fractions. The dephosphorylation of protein 49 by an endogenous protein phosphatase was markedly stimulated by cAMP in the cytosol and microsomal fractions of all tissues studied. The binding of 8-azido-cAMP (a photoaffinity analog of cAMP, which reacts specifically with cAMP-binding sites) to subcellular fractions was also studied. This binding was principally to a protein of molecular weight 49,000. These and other data suggest that a cAMP-binding protein with a molecular weight of 49,000 capable of undergoing cAMP-dependent phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, occurs in a variety of tissues.

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.

Both E. coli and calf thymus DNA polymerase can be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphorylation appears to stimulate the DNA polymerase reaction. Conversely, dephosphorylation of the polymerase molecule, by a protein phosphatase, inhibits the polymerase reaction.
