Acetyl-CoA carboxylase purified from isolated hepatocytes is activated dramatically by protein phosphatase treatment, concomitant with a reduction of the phosphate content from 3.7 to 1.1 mol/subunit. Glucagon treatment of the cells produces a further inactivation of the enzyme that is totally reversed by phosphatase treatment, and is associated with an increase in phosphate content of 0.8 mol/subunit, distributed in two peptides which contain the sites phosphorylated in vitro by the cyclic AMP-dependent and AMP-activated protein kinases. Sequencing of these peptides shows that the low activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase is due to phosphorylation by the AMP-activated protein kinase, and not cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, even after glucagon treatment.

1. The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) stimulates fatty acid synthesis from glucose in isolated adipocytes with a half-maximal effect at 0.72 microM. In seven batches of cells, the maximal effects of TPA and insulin were 8.5 +/- 1.1-fold and 27.1 +/- 2.1-fold respectively. Insulin also stimulated fatty acid synthesis from acetate 8.9 +/- 0.5-fold (three experiments), but TPA did not significantly increase fatty acid synthesis from this precursor. 2. In contrast to insulin, TPA treatment of isolated adipocytes did not produce an activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase which was detectable in crude cell extracts. 3. The total phosphate content of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, isolated from adipocytes in the presence of protein phosphatase inhibitors, was estimated by 32P-labelling experiments to be 2.6 +/- 0.1 (5), 3.4 +/- 0.2 (5), and 3.8 +/- 0.2 (3) mol/mol subunit for enzyme from control, insulin- and TPA-treated cells respectively. Insulin and TPA stimulated phosphorylation within the same two tryptic peptides. 4. Purified acetyl-CoA carboxylase is phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C at serine residues which are recovered in three tryptic peptides, i.e. peptide T1, which appears to be identical with the peptide Ser-Ser(P)-Met-Ser-Gly-Leu-His-Leu-Val-Lys phosphorylated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, and peptides Ta and Tb, which have the sequences Ile-Asp-Ser(P)-Gln-Arg and Lys-Ile-Asp-Ser(P)-Gln-Arg respectively, and which appear to be derived from a single site by alternative cleavages. None of these correspond to the peptides whose 32P-labelling increase in response to insulin or TPA. Peptides Ta/Tb are not significantly phosphorylated in isolated adipocytes, even after insulin or TPA treatment. Peptide T1 is phosphorylated in isolated adipocytes, but this phosphorylation is not altered by insulin or TPA. 5. These results show that TPA mimics the effect of insulin on phosphorylation, but not activation, of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, i.e. that these two events can be dissociated. In addition, phorbol ester stimulates phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in isolated adipocytes, but this is not catalyzed directly by protein kinase C, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase does not appear to be a physiological substrate for this kinase.

The dephosphorylation of phosphorylase a by the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-1 obtained from rabbit skeletal muscle is inhibited by heparin in a noncompetitive manner with respect to phosphorylase a (Ki = 8 micrograms/ml). The inhibitory effect of heparin is also observed in the presence of effectors (e.g., glucose and AMP) modifying the dephosphorylation of phosphorylase a. Heat-stable protein inhibitors of protein phosphatase-1 can develop their inhibitory effect of the activity of protein phosphatase-1 even in the presence of heparin. The inhibitory effect of heparin and the heat-stable inhibitor-2 of phosphatase is additive. Polybrene, a heparin antagonist, prevented phosphatase-1 from the inhibition caused by heparin or the inhibitors. Proteins with basic character, histone fractions (H1, H3) and protamine sulfate, can counteract with the inhibitory effect of heparin, but they cannot intercept the actions of inhibitor-1 or -2.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of proteins labeled with 32Pi in S49 mouse lymphoma cells revealed five phosphoproteins that were rapidly and reversibly dephosphorylated in response to elevation of cyclic AMP (cAMP). Under basal conditions, labeling of at least two of these proteins was limited by slow turnover of protein-bound phosphate. The rapid cAMP-mediated dephosphorylation of these species was attributable, therefore, to stimulation of a specific phosphoprotein phosphatase.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytosol fractions of liver homogenates exhibit phosphoprotein phosphatase activity towards glycogen synthase D and phosphorylase a. The following observations suggest that liver contains multiple forms of these phosphatases. Synthase phosphatase activity in either fraction was more readily inactivated by heating than phosphorylase phosphatase activity. Both synthase phosphatase and phosphorylase phosphatase activities in smooth ER were non-competitively inhibited by Mg2+, but were activated by this ion in the cytosol. Synthase phosphatase activities in cytosol and smooth ER were stimulated by a number of sugar phosphates, particularly glucose-1-phosphate, galactose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate. Erythrose-4-phosphate stimulated synthase phosphatase activity in the cytosol, but inhibited the microsomal enzyme. Phosphorylase phosphatase activities in either fraction were inhibited by most sugar phosphates. Adenosine mono-, di- and tri-phosphates inhibited phosphatase activities in both fractions. Low concentrations of AMP and ADP inhibited phosphorylase phosphatase activities to a greater extent than synthase phosphatase activities. Chromatography of the smooth ER fraction on DEAE-cellulose resulted in the separation of synthase phosphatase from phosphorylase phosphatase, as soluble proteins. The elution profile for the microsomal phosphatase was different from that for the cytosol enzymes. It is concluded that: both synthase phosphatase and phosphorylase phosphatase in liver have at least two isoenzyme forms; synthase phosphatase and phosphorylase phosphatase are separate enzymes; the different behaviour of microsomal and cytosol phosphatases towards divalent cations and sugar phosphates provides a potential mechanism for the differential regulation of these activities in liver.

A type-1 protein phosphatase (protein phosphatase-1G) was purified to homogeneity from the glycogen-protein particle of rabbit skeletal muscle. Approximately 3 mg of enzyme were isolated within 4 days from 5000 g of muscle. Protein phosphatase-1G had a molecular mass of 137 kDa and was composed of two subunits G (103 kDa) and C (37 kDa) in a 1:1 molar ratio. The subunits could be dissociated by incubation in the presence of 2 M NaCl, separated by gel-filtration on Sephadex G-100, and recombined at low ionic strength. The C component was the catalytic subunit, and was identical to the 37-kDa type-1 protein phosphatase catalytic subunit (protein phosphatase-1C) isolated from ethanol-treated muscle extracts, as judged by peptide mapping. The G component was the glycogen-binding subunit. It was very asymmetric, extremely sensitive to proteolytic degradation, and failed to silver stain on SDS/polyacrylamide gels. Protein phosphatase-1G was inhibited by inhibitor-1 and inhibitor-2, but unlike protein phosphatase-1C, the rate of inactivation was critically dependent on the ionic strength, temperature and time of preincubation with the inhibitor protein. At near physiological temperature and ionic strength, protein phosphatase-1G was inactivated very rapidly by inhibitor-1. Protein phosphatase-1G interacted with inhibitor-2 (I-2) to form an inactive species, with the structure GCI-2. This form could be activated by preincubation with Mg-ATP and glycogen synthase kinase-3. The G subunit could be phosphorylated on a serine residue(s) by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, but not by phosphorylase kinase or glycogen synthase kinase-3. Phosphorylation was rapid and stoichiometric, and increased the rate of inactivation of protein phosphatase-1G by inhibitor-1. The relationship of the G subunit to the 'deinhibitor protein' is discussed.

In some systems, such as the turkey erythrocyte, agonist-promoted phosphorylation of the beta-adrenergic receptor appears to be associated with desensitization of the adenylate cyclase system. This process can be partially mimicked by cyclic AMP analogs. Accordingly, we have investigated the phosphorylation of the pure mammalian beta-adrenergic receptor by the pure catalytic subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The beta-adrenergic receptor, purified from hamster lung to apparent homogeneity, contains a single polypeptide of Mr approximately 64,000. The receptor can be phosphorylated in vitro by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (approximately 2 mol of phosphate (on serine residues) per mol). Isoproterenol, a beta-agonist, promoted a 2-3-fold increase in the rate of receptor phosphorylation which was blocked by the beta-antagonists propranolol and alprenolol. High performance liquid chromatographic tryptic peptide mapping reveals two major phosphorylation sites. Phosphorylated receptor can be completely dephosphorylated by a high molecular weight phosphoprotein phosphatase. The rate of receptor dephosphorylation is enhanced 2-3-fold by isoproterenol and this effect is blocked by alprenolol. The functional significance of receptor phosphorylation was examined using ligand binding and reconstitution techniques. While the binding of isoproterenol and alprenolol to the receptor was unaffected by phosphorylation, the ability of the receptor to interact with the stimulatory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, as assessed by isoproterenol-promoted GTPase activity, was decreased 24 +/- 1% (mean +/- S.E., p less than 0.001, n = 17). The quantitative extent of receptor phosphorylation and functional impairment are virtually identical to those previously observed when intact turkey erythrocytes were incubated with cyclic AMP. These data provide a direct demonstration of regulation of the function of the isolated beta-adrenergic receptor by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Calcineurin dephosphorylated microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) and tau factor phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent and Ca2+, calmodulin-dependent protein kinases from the brain. Tubulin, only phosphorylated by the Ca2+, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, served as substrate for calcineurin. The concentrations of calmodulin required to give half-maximal activation of calcineurin were 21 and 16 nM with MAP2 and tau factor as substrates, respectively. The Km and Vmax values were in ranges of 1-3 microM and 0.4-1.7 mumol/mg/min, respectively, for MAP2 and tau factor. The Km value for tubulin was in a similar range, but the Vmax value was lower. The peptide map analysis revealed that calcineurin dephosphorylated MAP2 and tau factor universally, but not in a site-specific manner. The autophosphorylated Ca2+, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase was not dephosphorylated by calcineurin. These results suggest that calcineurin plays an important role in the functions of microtubules via dephosphorylation.

A high molecular weight phosphoprotein phosphatase was purified from rabbit liver using high speed centrifugation, acid precipitation, ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sepharose-histone, and Bio-Gel A-0.5m. The purified enzyme showed a single band on a nondenaturing polyacrylamide anionic disc gel which was associated with the enzyme activity. The enzyme was made up of equimolar concentrations of two subunits whose molecular weights were 58,000 (range 58,000-62,000) and 35,000 (range 35,000-38,000). Two other polypeptides (Mr 76,000 and 27,000) were also closely associated with our enzyme preparation, but their roles, if any, in phosphatase activity are not known. The optimum pH for the reaction was 7.5-8.0. Km value of phosphoprotein phosphatase for phosphorylase a was 0.10-0.12 mg/ml. Freezing and thawing of the enzyme in the presence of 0.2 M beta-mercaptoethanol caused an activation (100-140%) of phosphatase activity with a concomitant partial dissociation of the enzyme into a Mr 35,000 catalytic subunit. Divalent cations (Mg2+, Mn2+, and Co2+) and EDTA were inhibitory at concentrations higher than 1 mM. Spermine and spermidine were also found to be inhibitory at 1 mM concentrations. The enzyme was inhibited by nucleotides (ATP, ADP, AMP), PPi, Pi, and NaF; the degree of inhibition was different with each compound and was dependent on their concentrations employed in the assay. Among various types of histones examined, maximum activation of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity was observed with type III and type V histone (Sigma). Further studies with type III histone indicated that it increased both the Km for phosphorylase a and the Vmax of the dephosphorylation reaction. Purified liver phosphatase, in addition to the dephosphorylation of phosphorylase a, also catalyzed the dephosphorylation of 32P-labeled phosphorylase kinase, myosin light chain, myosin, histone III-S, and myelin basic protein. The effects of Mn2+, KCl, and histone III-S on phosphatase activity were variable depending on the substrate used.

Phosphoprotein phosphatase prepared from bovine cardiac muscle was used to study the roles of axonemal phosphoproteins in the flagellar motility of sea urchin spermatozoa. When isolated axonemes were incubated with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, gamma-[32P]ATP and cyclic AMP, more than 15 polypeptides were phosphorylated. Most were dephosphorylated by treatment with phosphoprotein phosphatase. When Triton models of sea urchin spermatozoa were treated with phosphoprotein phosphatase followed by an addition of ATP, the flagellar motility of the models was drastically reduced in comparison with that of the untreated models. The motility of the phosphatase-treated Triton models was partially restored by an addition of cyclic AMP and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. These data give strong support to the idea that the motility of eukaryotic flagella is controlled by a protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation system.
