We previously demonstrated that an acidic variant (B1) of lysosomal arylsulfatase B from transplanted human lung cancer is phosphorylated on its protein and carbohydrate moieties (Gasa, S., and Makita, A. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 5034-5039). The present study identifies that a cAMP-dependent protein kinase is responsible for phosphorylation of arylsulfatase B. The protein kinase activity toward the sulfatase was considerably higher in the transplanted lung cancer than in normal lung in the presence of cAMP. B enzyme purified from normal human liver was found to contain 0.6 mol/mol B enzyme, and protein kinase treatment added further 1.3 mol of Pi to give a single phosphopeptide (X). On the other hand, B1 enzyme purified from the transplanted human lung cancer which had been labeled in vivo with 32Pi revealed at least two phosphopeptides (X and Y). Assuming that the sulfatase from normal liver and lung cancer possesses the same number of available phosphorylation sites, phosphorylation of site X which was available only by deliberate phosphorylation of the native, ordinary B enzyme appears to be cancer-associated. Increasing phosphorylation of the sulfatase resulted in a maximum 50% elevation in arylsulfatase activity, followed by a decrease of the activity upon overphosphorylation, using an artificial substrate.

Since a lysosomal arylsulfatase B has been shown to be phosphorylated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) in transplantable human lung tumor, protein kinase isozymes were investigated in the tumor. Although the kinase of normal human lung comprised both type I and II isozymes at lower level, the tumor kinase was elevated in the activity and occupied almost exclusively by the type II which was responsible for the phosphorylation of arylsulfatase B. The isozyme deviation was also observed in the casein kinase of the tumor with predominance of type II in the tumor in contrast to the coexistence of both types I and II in normal lung.

Arylsulfatase A was purified from human lung and human placenta to apparent homogeneity presented by electrophoresis in the absence and presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The enzyme from normal lung, placenta, and lung adenocarcinoma showed considerable charge heterogeneity when examined by isoelectrofocusing, with isoelectric point (pI) ranging from 5.1 to 4.6. The enzyme from adenocarcinoma was more heterogeneous and having more acidic components than the other enzyme. When the tumor enzyme was treated with exogenous sialidase, alkaline phosphatase, or endo-beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase H (endoglycosidase H), the acidic components of the enzyme shifted to the more alkaline region on the focussing gel. The banding pattern of the enzyme from normal tissues also changed to the more alkaline region when treated with exogenous hydrolase and showed almost the same pattern as hydrolase treated enzyme from adenocarcinoma. Combined treatment of the enzyme with endoglycosidase H and sialidase resulted in complete loss of the most acidic components to give the less acidic components with pI of 5.1.50. and 4.9. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase could not phosphorylate the protein moiety of arylsulfatase A even after the enzyme was treated with alkaline phosphatase. When an acidic fraction of the endoglycosidase H sensitive oligosaccharides from arylsulfatase A was treated with phosphatase, the acidic oligosaccharide fraction lost the negative charge on QAE-Sephadex chromatography. These results strongly suggest that the charge heterogeneity of arylsulfatase A is due not only to sialylation but also to phosphorylation at the carbohydrate moiety of the enzyme, and that the extent of substitution by acidic groups, sialic acid residue and phosphate residue, is markedly increased in the tumor enzyme.

Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated that arylsulfatase B (ASB) is phosphorylated by a protein kinase, which is the first finding of phosphorylation in lysosomal hydrolases. The present study was undertaken to characterize the sites of phosphorylation in ASB from transplanted human lung cancer and from normal human tissues, and to identify type of tumor protein kinase responsible for the phosphorylation of ASB. When ASB purified from liver and placenta was phosphorylated in vitro by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase, it gave a single tryptic phosphopeptide (X) and phosphothreonine. On the other hand, the tumor ASB which had been phosphorylated in vivo demonstrated two phosphopeptides X and Y. Since the tumor ASB had been shown to be phosphorylated both at threonine and serine residues, phosphorylation at threonine residue of peptide X, which is phosphorylated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase, will be cancer-associated. Through photoaffinity labeling with a labeled cAMP analogue to detect regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase subtypes, it was found that the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the transplanted lung tumor was largely type II which can be ascribed to the appearance of highly phosphorylated ASB in the tumor.

An acidic variant form of arylsulfatase B from normal leukocytes and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) leukocytes was found to be phosphorylated at its serine and threonine residues through in vivo phosphorylation with 32Pi. However, the predominant phosphorylation site was serine in normal cells, in contrast to threonine in CML cells. A cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was responsible for phosphorylation of the sulfatase of CML cells.

Many lysosomal hydrolases in cases of human cancer were found to be accompanied by acidic variant forms together with the major hydrolase components. Such variants were found to be phosphorylated not only at their carbohydrate moiety which contributes largely to their acidic property, but also at the protein moiety. We identified a cAMP-dependent protein kinase which is responsible for phosphorylation of arylsulfatase B. The protein kinase activity toward the sulfatase was considerably higher in transplanted lung cancer than in normal lung in the presence of cAMP. The B enzyme purified from normal human liver was found to contain 0.6mol of Pi/mol of B enzyme, and protein kinase treatment added a further 1.3mol Pi to give a single phosphopeptide (X) containing phosphothreonine. On the other hand, the B1 enzyme purified from transplanted human lung cancer which had been labeled in vivo with [32P] Pi revealed at least two phosphopeptides (X and Y). Assuming that the sulfatase from liver and lung cancer possesses the same number of available phosphorylation sites, phosphorylation of site X (Thr) which is available only by deliberate phosphorylation of the native, ordinary B enzyme, appears to be cancer-associated. Increased phosphorylation of the sulfatase resulted in a maximum 50% elevation in arylsulfatase activity, followed by a decrease in the activity upon overphosphorylation, using an artificial substrate.

Human lung cancer transplanted into athymic mice contains predominantly an acidic variant (designated B1) of lysosomal arylsulfatase B. B1 enzyme was suggested to be phosphorylated and sialylated (Gasa, S., Makita, A., Kameya, T., Kodama, T., Koide, T., Tsumuraya, M., and Komai, T. (1981) Eur. J. Biochem. 116, 497-503). In order to determine the localization of phosphate in B1 enzyme, we labeled in vivo the transplanted tumor with [32P]H3PO4 or [3H]glucosamine and purified B1 enzyme by immunoprecipitation. Bio-Gel chromatography of the labeled B1 enzyme treated with endoglycosidase H demonstrated that both the excluded and included materials were labeled with 32P and 3H. From acid hydrolysate of the excluded materials, phosphorylated serine and threonine were detected. Protein phosphorylation of arylsulfatase was confirmed by in vitro labeling experiments with [gamma-32P]ATP. By incubation of the tumor homogenate with ATP followed by isolation of the enzymes, B1 enzyme had a significant amount of radioactivity, whereas the B enzyme had little; by exogenous protein kinase, partially purified B enzyme was phosphorylated 35 times more than B1 enzyme. Acid hydrolysate of the included materials in the Bio-Gel column demonstrated mannose 6-phosphate and an unknown phosphorylated compound which migrates more than Man-6-P on electrophoresis and chromatography.

The Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) is thought to play an important part in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. To determine which of the known subtypes (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) occur in insulin-secreting cells, we amplified all types of CaM kinase II by RT-PCR and found the beta3-, gamma-, delta2- and delta6-subtypes in RINm5F insulinoma cells. None of the other 8 delta-subtypes was present. Antibodies generated against the bacterially expressed association domain of the delta2-subtype recognized the recombinant gamma and delta-subtypes. In INS-1 and RINm5F cells, as well as freshly isolated rat islets, only a 55-kDa protein corresponding in size to the delta2-subtype expressed in NIH3T3 fibroblasts was detected. The delta2-subtype therefore appears to represent the predominant subtype of CaM kinase II present in insulin secreting cells. The enzyme was primarily associated with cytoskeletal structures, and very little was present in the soluble compartment or detergent soluble fraction in INS-1- or RINm5F-cells. An analysis of its subcellular distribution was performed by sucrose and Nycodenz density gradient fractionation of INS-1 cells and detection of CaM kinase II delta by immune blots. The enzyme codistributed with insulin used as a marker for secretory granules but not with the lighter synaptic-like microvesicles detected with an antibody against synaptophysin, plasma membranes (syntaxin 1), lysosomes (arylsulfatase), or mitochondria (cytochrome c oxidase). CaM kinase II delta2 thus is identified as the subtype associated with insulin secretory granules and is likely to be involved in insulin secretion.

The existence of mutants at specific steps in a pathway is a valuable tool of functional genomics in an organism. Heterologous integration occurring during transformation with a selectable marker in Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) has been used to generate an ordered mutant library. A strain, having a chimeric construct (pNia1::arylsulfatase gene) as a sensor of the Nia1 gene promoter activity, was transformed with a plasmid bearing the paramomycin resistance AphVIII gene to generate insertional mutants defective at regulatory steps of the nitrate assimilation pathway. Twenty-two thousand transformants were obtained and maintained in pools of 96 for further use. The mutant library was screened for the following phenotypes: insensitivity to the negative signal of ammonium, insensitivity to the positive signal of nitrate, overexpression in nitrate, and inability to use nitrate. Analyses of mutants showed that (1) the number or integrated copies of the gene marker is close to 1; (2) the probability of cloning the DNA region at the marker insertion site is high (76%); (3) insertions occur randomly; and (4) integrations at different positions and orientations of the same genomic region appeared in at least three cases. Some of the mutants analyzed were found to be affected at putative new genes related to regulatory functions, such as guanylate cyclase, protein kinase, peptidyl-prolyl isomerase, or DNA binding. The Chlamydomonas mutant library constructed would also be valuable to identify any other gene with a screenable phenotype.

The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii PSR1 gene is required for proper acclimation of the cells to phosphorus (P) deficiency. P-starved psr1 mutants show signs of secondary sulfur (S) starvation, exemplified by the synthesis of extracellular arylsulfatase and the accumulation of transcripts encoding proteins involved in S scavenging and assimilation. Epistasis analysis reveals that induction of the S-starvation responses in P-limited psr1 cells requires the regulatory protein kinase SNRK2.1, but bypasses the membrane-targeted activator, SAC1. The inhibitory kinase SNRK2.2 is necessary for repression of S-starvation responses during both nutrient-replete growth and P limitation; arylsulfatase activity and S deficiency-responsive genes are partially induced in the P-deficient snrk2.2 mutants and become fully activated in the P-deficient psr1snrk2.2 double mutant. During P starvation, the sac1snrk2.2 double mutants or the psr1sac1snrk2.2 triple mutants exhibit reduced arylsulfatase activity compared to snrk2.2 or psr1snrk2.2, respectively, but the sac1 mutation has little effect on the abundance of S deficiency-responsive transcripts in these strains, suggesting a post-transcriptional role for SAC1 in elicitation of S-starvation responses. Interestingly, P-starved psr1snrk2.2 cells bleach and die more rapidly than wild-type or psr1 strains, suggesting that activation of S-starvation responses during P deprivation is deleterious to the cell. From these results we infer that (i) P-deficient growth causes some internal S limitation, but the S-deficiency responses are normally inhibited during acclimation to P deprivation; (ii) the S-deficiency responses are not completely suppressed in P-deficient psr1 cells and consequently these cells synthesize some arylsulfatase and exhibit elevated levels of transcripts for S-deprivation genes; and (iii) this increased expression is controlled by regulators that modulate transcription of S-responsive genes during S-deprivation conditions. Overall, the work strongly suggests integration of the different circuits that control nutrient-deprivation responses in Chlamydomonas.
