1. At least two classes of high-affinity cyclic AMP-binding proteins have been identified: those derived from cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases (regulatory subunits) and those that bind a wide range of adenine analogues (adenine analogue-binding proteins). 2. In fresh-tissue extracts, regulatory subunits could be further subdivided into 'type I or 'type II' depending on whether they were derived from 'type I' or 'type II' protein kinase [see Corbin et al. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 218-225]. 3. The adenine analogue-binding protein was detected in crude tissue supernatant fractions of bovine and rat liver. It differed from the regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in many of its properties. Under the conditions of assay used, the protein accounted for about 45% of the binding of cyclic AMP to bovine liver supernatants. 4. The adenine analogue-binding protein from bovine liver was partially purified by DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose 6B chromatography. It had mol.wt. 185000 and was trypsin-sensitive. As shown by competition and direct binding experiments, it bound adenosine and AMP in addition to cyclic AMP. At intracellular concentrations of adenine nucleotides, binding of cyclic AMP was essentially completely inhibited in vitro. Adenosine binding was inhibited by only 30% under similar conditions. 5. Rat tissues were examined for the presence of the adenine analogue-binding protein, and, of those examined (adipose tissue, heart, brain, testis, kidney and liver), significant amounts were only found in the liver. The possible physiological role of the adenine analogue-binding protein is discussed. 6. Because the adenine analogue-binding protein or other cyclic AMP-binding proteins in tissues may be products of partial proteolysis of the regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, the effects of trypsin and aging on partially purified protein kinase and its regulatory subunit from bovine liver were investigated. In all studies, the effects of trypsin and aging were similar. 7. In fresh preparations, the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase had mol.wt. 150000. Trypsin treatment converted it into a form of mol.wt 79500. 8. The regulatory subunit of the protein kinase had mol.wt. 87000. It would reassociate with and inhibit the catalytic subunit of the enzyme. Trypsin treatment of the regulatory subunit produced a species of mol.wt. 35500 which bound cyclic AMP but did not reassociate with the catalytic subunit. Trypsin treatment of the protein kinase and dissociation of the product by cyclic AMP produced a regulatory subunit of mol.wt. 46500 which reassociated with the catalytic subunit. 9. These results may be explained by at least two trypsin-sensitive sites on the regulatory subunit. A model for the effects of trypsin is described.

Binding studies of various nucleotides to the purified coupling factor-latent ATPase from Mycobacterium phlei have been carried out using gel filtration, equilibrium dialysis, and ultrafiltration methods. The purified latent ATPase binds 3 mol of ADP per mol of the enzyme with an apparent dissociation constant of 68 muM. Binding of nucleotides occurred in the decreasing order: ADP, epsilon-ATP, epsilon-ADP, UDP, adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (AMP-P(NH)P), IDP, and adenosine 5'-(alpha,beta-methylene)diphosphate (AdoP(CH2)P). AMP-P(NH)P inhibits both soluble (Ki = 77 muM) and membrane-bound latent ATPase activity. However, AMP-P(NH)P does not affect oxidative phosphorylation in membrane vesicles of M. phlei. AMP-P(NH)P exhibits one binding site per molecule of the enzyme with a dissociation constant of 71 muM. After trypsin treatment of the enzyme, the binding of ADP decreases 35%, while AMP-P(NH)P binding remains unchanged. Moreover, AMP-P(NH)P binding was not displaced by ADP. Studies with sulfhydryl agents showed that, in contrast to AMP-P(NH)P, binding of at least 1 mol of ADP requires the participation of sulfhydryl groups. The results indicate that AMP-P(NH)P and ADP do not share a common binding site and that the latent ATPase enzyme has separate sites for ATP hydrolysis and ATP synthesis.

Control of the rate of cardiac cell division by oxygen occurs most probably by altering the redox state of a control substance, e.g. NAD(+)right harpoon over left harpoonNADH. NAD(+) (and not NADH) forms poly(ADP-ribose), an inhibitor of DNA synthesis, in a reaction catalysed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. Lower partial pressure of oxygen, which increases the rate of division, would shift NAD(+)-->NADH, decrease poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis, and increase DNA synthesis. Chick-embryo heart cells grown in culture in 20% O(2) (in which they divide more slowly than in 5% O(2)) did exhibit greater poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity (+83%, P<0.001) than when grown in 5% O(2). Reaction product was identified as poly(ADP-ribose) by its insensitivity to deoxyribonuclease, ribonuclease, NAD glycohydrolase, Pronase, trypsin and micrococcal nuclease, and by its complete digestion with snake-venom phosphodiesterase to phosphoribosyl-AMP and AMP. Isolation of these digestion products by Dowex 1 (formate form) column chromatography and paper chromatography allowed calculation of average poly(ADP-ribose) chain length, which was 15-26% greater in 20% than in 5% O(2). Thus in 20% O(2) the increase in poly(ADP-ribose) formation results from chain elongation. Formation of new chains also occurs, probably to an even greater degree than chain elongation. Additionally, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase has very different K(m) and V(max.) values and pH optima in 20% and 5% O(2). These data suggest that poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism participates in the regulation of heart-cell division by O(2), probably by several different mechanisms.

Cholesterol oxidase [EC 1.1.3.6] from Schizophyllum commune was purified by an affinity chromatography using 3-O-succinylcholesterol-ethylenediamine (3-cholesteryl-3-[2-aminoethylamido]propionate) Sepharose gels. The resulting preparation was homogeneous as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 53,000 by SDS-gel electrophoresis and 46,000 by sedimentation equilibrium. The enzyme contained 483 amino acid residues as calculated on the basis of the molecular weight of 53,000. The enzyme consumed 60 mumol of O2/min per mg of protein with 1.3 mM cholesterol at 37 degrees C. The enzyme showed the highest activity with cholesterol; 3 beta-hydroxysteroids, such as dehydroepiandrosterone, pregnenolone, and lanosterol, were also oxidized at slower rates. Ergosterol was not oxidized by the enzyme. The Km for cholesterol was 0.33 mM and the optimal pH was 5.0. The enzyme is a flavoprotein which shows a visible absorption spectrum having peaks at 353 nm and 455 nm in 0.1 M acetate buffer, pH 4.0. The spectrum was characterized by the hypsochromic shift of the second absorption peak of the bound flavin. The bound flavin was reduced on anaerobic addition of a model substrate, dehydroepiandrosterone. Neither acid not heat treatment released the flavin coenzyme from the enzyme protein. The flavin of the enzyme could be easily released from the enzyme protein in acid-soluble form as flavin peptides when the enzyme protein was digested with trypsin plus chymotrypsin. The mobilities of the aminoacyl flavin after hydrolysis of the flavin peptides on thin layer chromatography and high voltage electrophoresis differed from those of free FAD, FMN, and riboflavin. A pKa value of 5.1 was obtained from pH-dependent fluorescence quenching process of the aminoacyl flavin. AMP was detected by hydrolysis of the flavin peptides with nucleotide pyrophosphatase. The results indicate strongly that cholesterol oxidase from Schizophyllum commune contains FAD as the prothetic group, which is covalently linked to the enzyme protein. The properties of the bound FAD were comparable to those of N (1)-histidyl FAD.

Yeast phosphofructokinase was subjected to limited proteolysis by trypsin in the presence of different effectors. It could be demonstrated that the substrates MgATP and fructose-6-phosphate are able to protect the enzyme from inactivation by trypsin. Other effectors like AMP, ADP, phosphoenolpyruvate, citrate and ammonium ions exhibit only negligible effects. During the first step of degradation consisting in the conversion of the subunits from Mr 120,000 to 90,000 no significant effects of the substrates and effectors on the proteolytic inactivation of yeast phosphofructokinase can be observed. In the presence of ATP as well as of ADP the sensitivity of the enzyme against ATP inhibition is either not or only slightly influenced by proteolytic modification. The modified enzyme retains its sensitivity against activation by AMP, independently of whether effectors are present or absent during proteolysis. The kinetic parameters of the enzyme modified by subtilisin in the presence of ATP or of fructose-6-phosphate have been determined.

The effect of trypsin on gastric (H+ + K+)-ATPase and K+-phosphatase was studied. Loss of both enzymic activities was biphasic, consisting of a fast and slow phase. Several peptides were produced from the original 105,000-dalton region of the sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoretic separation, but only two, 87,000 and 47,000 daltons, were labeled following incubation with [gamma-33P]ATP. After a 30-min hydrolysis, 35% of the original peptide remained unaltered and appeared to be a glycoprotein. ATP and ADP abolished the second phase of tryptic inactivation of both activities and only two peptides, of 78,000 and 30,000 daltons, were found on the acrylamide gel in addition to the original 105,000-dalton region, neither of which was labeled by [gamma-33P]ATP. The protection was specific for these nucleotides, AMP, beta, gamma-methylene ATP, TTP, and pNPP being ineffective. Na+ and K+ at high concentrations reduced the rate of loss of activity but no change in the peptides produced was found. The level of phosphoenzyme was increased 2-fold by trypsin treatment, whereas the quantity of K+-sensitive phosphoenzyme remained relatively constant. Thus, the 105,000-dalton region is heterogeneous, consisting of a catalytic subunit (the active site is on a 47,000-dalton fragment), a glycoprotein, and another 105,000-dalton peptide. The action of trypsin is initially to prevent interconversion of a K+-insensitive to a K+-sensitive form of the phosphoenzyme, thus inhibiting hydrolysis.

The article deals with the results of studies on the structure and properties of discrete sites in a molecule of sarcoplasmic reticulum Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase obtained during its fragmentation in the process of its limited hydrolysis by trypsin. It is established to contain three fragments with the molecular mass of 45 000, 30 000 and 20 000 Daltons. Some properties of these fragments are determined by the amino acid analysis, inhibitory analysis with application of radiactive labels and also of immunochemical analysis. The properties show that the first fragment is hydrophobic and the others are hydrophilic; these properties show that the first fragment is hydrophobic and the others are hydrophilic; these properties determine the location of the fragments in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. The fragment with the molecular mass of 45 000 Daltons forms in it a nonspecific channel as if "sewing" it, two other fragments of the Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase are located at the outer side of the membrane, the fragment with the molecular weight of 20 000 occupying a middle position between the fragments with molecular weight of 45 000 and 30 000, thus creating a selective respect to calcium "valve" to the nonspecific channel. This discrete part of Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase possesses the ionophoric activity. The fragment with molecular weight of 30 000 is the energy converter. The site hydrolyzing AMP is located in it. The models (hypothetic) are presented for the Ca2+ active transpprt through biological membranes with Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase participation.

The stimulation by cyclic AMP of steroidogenesis in rat adrenal cells isolated by trypsin treatment was inhibited by D-threo-chloramphenicol and by its L-threo-isomer. The former is an inhibitor of mitochondrial protein synthesis while the latter is not. Both substances, at concentrations which inhibit steroidogenesis, inhibit amino acid incorporation into the proteins of microsomes. Inhibition in other subcellular fractions also occurs depending on the isomer and its concentration. In no case was there a preferential inhibition of amino acid incorporation into mitochondrial proteins. Carbomycin, another inhibitor of mitochondrial protein synthesis, gave similar results. In addition, subfractionation of mitochondria in these experiments revealed no preferential inhibition of amino acid incorporation into the proteins of either the soluble of membrane fractions of this organelle. The above results were obtained at several concentrations of the inhibitors when only partial inhibition of steroidogenesis was present. Both isomers of chloramphenicol inhibited steroidogenesis in a cell-free system to an extent equal to that found with cyclic AMP-stimulated steroidogenesis in intact cells. It is concluded that these inhibitors of mitochondrial protein synthesis have multiple metabolic effects in adrenal cells.

Two tryptic phosphopeptides containing the sites on the alpha and beta subunits of phosphorylase kinase which are phosphorylated by protein kinase, dependent on adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP), have been isolated and their amino acid sequences have been determined. 32P-labelled phosphorylase kinase, containing 1.9 mol phosphate per mol enzyme, was digested with an equimolar quantity of trypsin for 2.5 min at pH 7.0, 20 degrees C. This treatment released nearly all the 32P radioactivity associated with the beta subunit as trichloroacetic-acid-soluble material. Only a small proportion of the 32P radioactivity associated with the alpha subunit was solubilised, the remainder being removed in the trichloroacetic acid pellet. The beta-subunit tryptic phosphopeptide was completely resolved from traces of the alpha-subunit phosphopeptide by gel filtration on Sephadex G-25. Further purification by peptide mapping separated the phosphopeptide into four components, each derived from the same nine-amino-acid segment of the betachain, which was found to possess the sequence: Gln-Ser-Gly-Ser(P)-Val-Ile-Tyr-Pro-Leu-Lys. The four components were produced by the partial cyclisation of the N-terminal glutaminyl residue, and by the presence of two alleles for the beta subunit in the rabbit population, which led to a valine-isoleucine ambiguity. The alpha-subunit phosphopeptide was liberated from the trichloroacetic acid pellet by redigestion with trypsin. It was the largest component in the digest which remained soluble in 5% trichloroacetic acid, and obtained in a highly purified form by a single filtration on Sephadex G-50. The peptide comprised 39 amino acids of which nine were serine and three were threonine residues. Only one residue, the serine at position three from the amino terminus, was phosphorylated. The amino-terminal sequence of the peptide was shown to be: Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser-Glx-Pro-Asx-Gly. The sequences confirm the stoichiometry of the reaction and the absolute specificity of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase for just two of the 200 serine residues in the enzyme. These results and an inspection of the rate of phosphorylation of a number of skeletal muscle proteins, including each enzyme of the glycolytic pathway, lead to the conclusion that cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase is an extremely specific enzyme. The molecular basis of this specificity is discussed.

A cell suspension was prepared from immature rat ovaries by treatment with trypsin and collagenase. The isolated cells were capable of converting [8-14-C]adenine to cyclic [-14-C]AMP and the rate of this conversion was stimulated in vitro by luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotropine, but not by prolactin, norepinephrine, dopamine or albumin. The accumulation of progesterone was also measured in these cells by radioimmunoassay. In vitro addition of luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotropine, but not by prolactin, norepinephrine, dopamine or albumin. The accumulation of progesterone was also measured in these cells by radioimmunoassay. In vitro addition of luteinizing hormone stimulated the accumulation of radioimmuno-assayable progesterone. The conversion of [8-14-C]adenine to cyclic [-14-C]AMP showed a rapid increase during the first 30 min of the incubation period when luteinizing hormone was added to the incubation medium. Progesterone accumulation in response to the same dose of luteinizing hormone showed a lag period for the first 30 min of incubation after which there was an increase up to 2 h. The luteinizing hormone-induced progesterone accumulation was sensitive to puromycin, but there was no effect on the luteinizing hormone-induced increase in cyclic [-14-C]AMP formation from [8-14-C]-adenine. Actinomycin D also inhibited the luteinizing hormone-induced progesterone accumulation in rat ovarian interstitial cell suspension is preceded by an increased accumulation of cyclic AMP and that the accumulation of steroid under the influence of luteinizing hormone involve processes sensitive to puromycin and antinomycin D.
