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.

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.

Inhibitor-1 from rabbit skeletal muscle was phosphorylated by protein kinase dependent on adenosine 3' :5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP), but not by phosphorylase kinase or by glycogen synthetase kinase-2. Protein phosphatase-III, isolated and stored in the presence of manganese ions to keep it stable, was in a form which catalysed a rapid dephosphorylation and inactivation of inhibitor-1. The kinetic constants for the dephosphorylation of inhibitor-1 [Km = 0.7 micron, V(rel) = 40] were comparable to those for the dephosphorylation of phosphorylase kinase [Km =1.1 micron, V (rel) = 62] and phosphorylase [Km = 5.0 micron, V (rel) = 100]. The dephosphorylation of inhibitor -1 was inhibited by inhibitor-2, indicating that it was catalysed by protein phosphatase-III, and not by another enzyme that might be contaminating the preparation. When protein phosphatase-III was diluted into buffers containing excess EDTA, it lost activity initially, but after 90 min, the activity reached a plateau that remained stable for at least 20h. The initial loss in activity varied with the substrate that was tested; it was 20-30% with phosphorylase a, 50-60% with phosphorylase kinase and greater than or equal to 95% with inhibitor-1. This form of protein phosphatase-III was inhibited by inhibitor-1 in a noncompetitive manner, and the Ki for inhibitor-1 was 1.6 +/- 0.3 nM. The phosphorylase phosphatase, phosphorylase kinase phosphatase and glycogen synthetase phosphatase activities of protein phosphatase-III were inhibited in an identical manner by inhibitor-1. This result emphasizes the potential importance of inhibitor-1 in the regulation of glycogen metabolism, since it can influence the state of phosphorylation of three different enzymes. The formation of the inactive complex between inhibitor-1 and protein phosphatase-III was reversed by incubation with trypsin (which destroyed inhibitor-1, but not protein phosphatase-III) or by dilution of the inactive complex. Kinetic studies, using the form of protein phosphatase-III which dephosphorylated inhibitor-1 very rapidly, demonstrated three unusual features of the system: (a) inhibitor-1 was still as powerful and inhibitor of the dephosphorylation of phosphorylase a and phosphorylase kinase a even under conditions where it was being rapidly dephosphorylated; (b) inhibitor-1 was not an inhibitor of its own dephosphorylation; (c) phosphorylase a did not effect the rate of dephosphorylation of inhibitor-1 even when it was present in a 50-fold molar excess over inhibitor-1. The result of these three properties is that inhibitor-1 is preferentially dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase-III even in the presence of a large excess of other phosphoprotein substrates. Inhibitor-1 was also dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase-II. The kinetic constants for the dephosphorylation of inhibitor-1 [Km = 2.8 micron, V (rel) = 200] and the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase [Km = 3.7 micron, V (rel) = 100]were comparable...

The effect of thrombin on the phosphorylating activity of platelet membranes was compared to that of trypsin. Preincubation of non-32P phosphorylated platelet membranes with or without either of these two enzymes resulted in a considerable loss of membrane protein kinase activity which was most severe when trypsin was used. Protein kinase activity and endogenous protein acceptors decreased in parallel. 32P-phosphorylated membranes showed a slow but progressive loss of label which was accelerated by trypsin. Thrombin under these conditions prevented the loss of 32P-phosphate. These results are interpreted to indicate a thrombin-induced destruction of a phosphoprotein phosphatase. The protein kinase activity of phosphorylated platelet membranes using endogenous or exogenous protein substrates showed a significant reduction compared to non-phosphorylated membranes suggesting a deactivation of protein kinase by phosphorylation of platelet membranes. Neither thrombin nor trypsin caused a qualitative change in the membrane polypeptides accepting 32P-phosphate but resulted in quantitative alterations of their ability to become phosphorylated.

The ATP.Mg-dependent type-1 protein phosphatase and its activating factor (protein kinase FA) were identified to exist in brain synaptosome. The inactive protein phosphatase was found to exist in the synaptosomal cytosol whereas its activating factor (protein kinase FA) was present in the synaptosomal membrane, indicating that the inactive protein phosphatase and its activating factor FA are localized in two separate subcellular compartments. The membrane-bound FA was found to exist in two forms; approximately 75% of FA is inactive and trypsin-resistant, whereas 25% of FA is active and trypsin-labile. When membranes were incubated with exogenous phospholipase C, the inactive/trypsin-resistant FA could be activated and sequestered to become the active/trypsin-labile FA in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Taken together, the results provide initial evidence that the activation-sequestration of membrane-bound protein kinase FA may represent one mode of control modulating the activity of protein kinase FA and thereby to activate protein phosphatase in brain synaptosome, representing an efficient regulatory mechanism for regulating neurotransmission in the central nervous system.

The protein B-50 is dephosphorylated in rat cortical synaptic plasma membranes (SPM) by protein phosphatase type 1 and 2A (PP-1 and PP-2A)-like activities. The present studies further demonstrate that B-50 is dephosphorylated not only by a spontaneously active PP-1-like enzyme, but also by a latent form after pretreatment of SPM with 0.2 mM cobalt/20 micrograms of trypsin/ml. The activity revealed by cobalt/trypsin was inhibited by inhibitor-2 and by high concentrations (microM) of okadaic acid, identifying it as a latent form of PP-1. In the presence of inhibitor-2 to block PP-1, histone H1 (16-64 micrograms/ml) and spermine (2 mM) increased B-50 dephosphorylation. This sensitivity to polycations and the reversal of their effects on B-50 dephosphorylation by 2 nM okadaic acid are indicative of PP-2A-like activity. PP-1- and PP-2A-like activities from SPM were further displayed by using exogenous phosphorylase alpha and histone H1 as substrates. Both PP-1 and PP-2A in rat SPM were immunologically identified with monospecific antibodies against the C-termini of catalytic subunits of rabbit skeletal muscle PP-1 and PP-2A. Okadaic acid-induced alteration of B-50 phosphorylation, consistent with inhibition of protein phosphatase activity, was demonstrated in rat cortical synaptosomes after immunoprecipitation with affinity-purified anti-B-50 immunoglobulin G. These results provide further evidence that SPM-bound PP-1 and PP-2A-like enzymes that share considerable similarities with their cytosolic counterparts may act as physiologically important phosphatases for B-50.

The differential assay conditions for protein phosphatases PP1, PP2A, and PP2C were extensively studied by using crude extracts from mouse lymphoid tissues as enzyme sources. Under these conditions, the protein phosphatase activities were measured in MRL/MpJ-lpr/lpr mice (MRL/lpr mice), autoimmune-prone mice, and MRL/MpJ(-)+/+ mice (MRL/+/+ mice) and C3H/HeJ mice as the controls. In MRL/lpr mice, significant alterations in protein phosphatase activities from those in the control mice were demonstrated. In spleen and liver from MRL/lpr mice, potential activities of PP1 and PP2A were distinctly elevated over those of the control mice. These elevations appeared to be due to accumulation of the abnormal lymphocytes that emerged in MRL/lpr mice. Although the PP1 activity in MRL/lpr lymph nodes was lower than those of normal spleen and thymus, it was greatly increased by Co(2+)-trypsin treatment so that the PP1 activity of MRL/lpr lymph nodes was the highest among those of all the tissues examined. In contrast, PP2C activity showed no remarkable alteration in the autoimmune disease model mice as compared with that in the control mice. These results demonstrated a specific elevation in potency of protein dephosphorylation in the tissues of MRL/lpr mice, suggesting a new explanation for the defect in signal transduction in this disease.

We determined the mRNA levels and the activities in nuclear and non-nuclear fractions of protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) and type 2A (PP2A) through the cell cycle in synchronized mouse NIH3T3 fibroblasts. The mRNA level for PP1 alpha was gradually elevated in late G1 phase, began to decrease in M phase, and reached the control level with entering into the next G1 phase. The mRNA level for PP2A was rapidly increased in early G1 phase, kept at the high level, and decreased after S phase. In nuclear fractions of cells, spontaneous activities of both PP1 and PP2A were gradually increased until M phase and rapidly decreased with entering the next G1 phase, while in non-nuclear fraction such dramatic alterations were not observed. Potential activities of PP1 in both fractions revealed by Co(2+)-trypsin treatment showed an oscillaion patterns similar to those of the spontaneous activities. These results strongly suggest that cell cycle dependent gene expressions and activities of PP1 and PP2A play roles in DNA synthesis and mitosis during the cell cycle.

Latent protein phosphatase, Fc.M, was purified from porcine heart extracts by a procedure involving precipitation at pH 5.0, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose, Biogel-A 0.5m and poly-L-lysine-agarose. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 12,200 nanomoles of phosphate released from phosphorylase a/mg protein when assayed following activation by pretreatment with Mn++ and trypsin in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl. The enzyme is a heterodimer of 66 kDa composed of a catalytic (37 kDa) and a modulator (31 kDa) subunit.
