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+.

Calcium transport by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was compared in hyperthyroid (HT) and euthyroid (ET) rats. Both Ca2+ uptake (97 +/- 3.1 nmol/mg per min in HT vs. 63 +/- 2.9 nmol/mg per min in ET, P less than 0.01) and CA2+ -stimulated ATPase activity (61 +/- 4.1 vs. 37 +/- 1.6 nmol Pi/mg per min, P less than 0.01) were higher in the thyroxine-treated animals. These changes were accompanied by enhanced cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of cardiac SR in hyperthyroid rats (180 +/- 4.3 pmol Pi/mg per min vs. 117 +/- 4.2 pmol Pi/mg per min, P less than 0.01). SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cardiac SR showed that phosphorylation of a 22,000-dalton protein (phospholamban) primarily accounted for the differences between the two groups. There was no difference in the rate of SR dephosphorylation by endogenous phosphoprotein phosphatase between HT and ET rats. Differences in cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation between the two groups were blunted in the presence of excess exogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. These results suggest that increased levels or activity of endogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases may partially explain enhanced calcium transport by the cardiac SR of hyperthyroid animals.

The role of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent membrane phosphorylation in the regulation of microsomal calcium transport in rat aortic smooth muscle was studied. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase augmented the phosphorylation of serine residues in a microsomal protein component with a molecular weight of about 44,000 (determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and the majority of 32P incorporation was in serine residue(s). The phosphorylated protein had stability characteristics of a phosphoester. The phosphorylated substrate was not extracted from the trichloroacetic acid (TCA) precipitate with organic solvents or by suspension in hot TCA; and the demonstrated hydroxylamine insensitivity suggested that the substrate was not lipid or nucleic acid. Intrinsic phosphoprotein phosphatase cleaved the labeled phosphate from the cyclic AMP-stimulated microsomes in the first 5 min of incubation. Microsomes phosphorylated in the presence of 1 micron cyclic AMP or 1 micron cyclic AMP plus 0.1 mg/ml protein kinase exhibited enhanced calcium uptake. We suggest that reversible phosphorylation of microsomal membranes may play an important role in the regulation of aortic microsomal calcium transport by cyclic AMP.

A protein phosphatase activity has been demonstrated in nuclei of rat ventral prostate utilizing 32P-labelled phosvitin as a model acidic phosphoprotein substrate. This phosphoprotein phosphatase has a pH optimum of 6.7, is unaffected by the sulphydryl protecting agent 2-mercaptoethanol, and requires a divalent cation for maximal activity. Of the various divalent cations tested, Mg2+ is the most effective in reactivating the EDTA-inhibited enzyme. The phosphatase is inhibited by sodium flouride, sodium oxalate, N-ethylmaleimide, ATP and ADP but is relatively insensitive to ammonium molybdate. Increased ionic strength of the reaction medium also causes a reduction in the enzyme activity, e.g., by 48% at 200 mM sodium chloride. The activity of the acidic phosphoprotein phosphatase did not change significantly at 48 h or 96 h post-orchiectomy when expressed per unit of nuclear protein. However, it is reduced by approx. 30% at these times after castration if based on DNA content. The decline in activity per nucleus reflects the decrease in the realtive nuclear protein content observed at 48 h or 96 h post-orchiectomy. This suggests that the decline in the phosphorylation of prostatic nuclear acidic proteins which occurs upon androgen withdrawal is not due to increased nuclear phosphatase activity.

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 NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase from Candida utilis was isolated from 32P-labeled cells following enzyme inactivation promoted by glutamate starvation and found to exist in a phosphorylated form. Analysis of purified, fully active NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (a form) and inactive NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (b form) for alkalilabile phosphate revealed that the a form contained 0.09 +/- 0.06 mol of phosphate/mol of enzyme subunit and b form 1.25 +/- 0.06 mol of phosphate/mol of enzyme subunit. Phosphorylation caused a 10-fold reduction in enzyme specific activity. Dephosphorylation (release of 32P) and enzyme reactivation occurred on incubation with cell-free yeast extracts, indicating the presence of a phosphoprotein phosphatase in such preparations.

1. Protamine-agarose and hydrophobic interaction chromatography were found to be effective in the purification of phosphoprotein phosphatase(s) (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.16) of rat-liver. The phosphoprotein phosphatase of rat-liver cytosol were first resolved into three fractions, termed A, B and C, in order of elution from DEAE-cellulose. Whereas all fractions displayed activity towards [32P]phosphoprotamine, only fractions B and C displayed appreciable activity towards [32P]phosphopyruvate kinase. Since fraction B exhibited the most properties and the highest recovery of enzymatic activity towards [32P]phosphoprotamine and [32P]phosphopyruvate kinase, it was selected for further purification. The method developed involves sequential chromatography of fraction B on Sephadex G-200, protamineagarose, histone-agarose and then again on Sephadex G-200 as a final step. A 400-fold enrichment in the phosphoprotamine phosphatase activity of fraction B was obtained. Purified fraction B also displayed substantial phosphatase activity towards [32P]phosphopyruvate kinase and [32P]phosphohistones. An apparent molecular weight of about 250 000 was estimated for purified fraction B on a calibrated Sephadex G-200 column. The present data indicate that rat-liver cytosol contains multiple forms of phosphoprotein phosphatases and suggest a technique which might be applied for the further purification of at least fraction B. 2. In a separate approach, a combination of pentyl-agarose and protamineagarose chromatography was shown to be a conbenient method for the enrichment (up to 20-fold of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity from crude liver extracts.

Polyamine hydrochlorides, NaCl and magnesium acetate stimulated the enzymatic dephosphorylation of phosphorylated H2B histone by two forms (large form, mol. wt. 250 000; small form, mol. wt. 30 000) of a pig heart phosphoprotein phosphatase (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.16). These ionic compounds stimulated the large form of the enzyme 5--9-fold but stimulated the small form of theenzyme only 2-fold. With phosphorylated H2B histone as substrate, these effectors caused an increase in both Km and V values of the two forms of the enzyme. On the other hand, when a tryptic phosphodecapeptide derived from phosphorylated H2B histone was used as substrate, these effectors were always inhibitory apparently non-competitively with respect to the substrate. Using phosphorylated H1 histone as substrate, these effectors stimulated the large form of the enzyme 2-fold but inhibited the small form. With phosphorylase a as substrate, the reactions were also inhibited by these effectors irrespective of the enzyme employed. With respect to phosphorylase a, this inhibition was apparently of a competitive type for the large form and a non-competitive type for the small form of the enzyme.

The effects of ATP and divalent cations on a divalent cation-independent phosphorylase phosphatase of Mr = 35,000 (phosphatase S) purified from canine cardiac muscle have been studied. The enzyme can be rapidly inactivated by ATP or other nucleoside di- and triphosphates and PPi, but not by AMP, adenosine, adenine, Pi, EDTA, ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N' -tetraacetic acid, 1,10-phenanthroline, or 8-hydroxyquinoline. After removing the inactivating agent, such as ATP or PPi, by gel filtraiton followed by exhaustive dialysis, the inactivated enzyme (apophosphatase S) can be reactivated by preincubating with Mn2+ or Co2+, but not with Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, Ba2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, or Cd2+. The Mn2+ -reactivated enzyme, which is less active than the Co2+ -reactivated enzyme, can be again inactivated by preincubating with ATP. The present findings indicate that phosphatase S contains a tightly bound divalent cation, probably Mn2+, in the active site. ATP and PPi, due to their structural similarity to the phosphoprotein substrate and their ability to chelate metal ions, can readily enter the active site to remove the divalent cation(s) essential for the catalytic function. The present findings also indicate that phosphatase S, a common catalytic subunit of several larger molecular forms of nospecific phosphoprotein phosphatase in cardiac muscle, can exist in two interconvertible forms, a metallized form (active) and a demetallized form (inactive). ATP and metal ions may regulate this class of isozymes by mediating the interconversions.

We previously showed that preincubation of a 10,000 g supernatant (S(10)) from rat liver for 20 min at 37 degrees C dramatically increased the subsequent incorporation of [(14)C]acetate into sterols. No activation was seen with [(14)C]mevalonate as substrate. In the present studies we have examined the effect of preincubation on HMG CoA reductase. When microsomes were isolated from S(10) by calcium precipitation, preincubation of S(10) increased the specific activity of HMG CoA reductase threefold. No activation of HMG CoA reductase was observed in microsomes isolated by ultracentrifugation. Activation was cyclic AMP-sensitive. When cyclic AMP (0.001-1.0 mM) and MgATP (1 mM) were present during the preincubation period, there was little or no activation of HMG CoA reductase activity or of sterol synthesis from acetate. MgATP alone did not prevent activation. Neither cyclic AMP nor MgATP was inhibitory when present only during the assay of sterol synthesis. We propose that the in vitro activation represents the reversal of a physiologic cyclic AMP-mediated mechanism for the control of hepatic HMG CoA reductase. That a phosphoprotein phosphatase may catalyze the activation was supported by the observation that sodium fluoride, an inhibitor of phosphoprotein phosphatases, inhibited the activation. These results suggest that hormone-induced changes in the cellular level of cyclic AMP may regulate the activity of HMG CoA reductase and the rate of hepatic cholesterol synthesis.
