In rabbit heart homogenates about 50% of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity was associated with the low speed particulate fraction. In homogenates of rat or beef heart this fraction represented approximately 30% of the activity. The percentage of the enzyme in the particulate fraction was not appreciably affected either by preparing more dilute homogenates or by aging homogenates for up to 2 h before centrifugation. The particulate enzyme was not solubilized at physiological ionic strength or by the presence of exogenous proteins during homogenization. However, the holoenzyme or regulatory subunit could be solubilized either by Triton X-100, high pH, or trypsin treatment. In hearts of all species studied, the particulate-bound protein kinase was mainly or entirely the type II isozyme, suggesting isozyme compartmentalization. In rabbit hearts perfused in the absence of hormones and homogenized in the presence of 0.25 M NaCl, at least 50% of the cAMP in homogenates was associated with the particulate fraction. Omitting NaCl reduced the amount of particulate-bound cAMP. Most of the particulate-bound cAMP was probably associated with the regulatory subunit in this fraction since approximately 70% of the bound nucleotide was solubilized by addition of homogeneous catalytic subunit to the particulate fraction. The amount of cAMP in the particulate fraction (0.16 nmol/g of tissue) was approximately one-half the amount of the regulatory subunit monomer (0.31 nmol/g of tissue) in this fraction. The calculated amount of catalytic subunit in the particulate fraction was 0.18 nmol/g of tissue. Either epinephrine alone or epinephrine plus 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine increased the cAMP content of the particulate and supernatant fractions. The cAMP level was increased more in the supernatant fraction, possibly because the cAMP level became saturating for the regulatory subunit in the particulate fraction. The increase in cAMP was associated with translocation of a large percentage of the catalytic subunit activity from the particulate to the supernatant fraction. The distribution of the regulatory subunit of the enzyme was not significantly affected by this treatment. The catalytic subunit translocation could be mimicked by addition of cAMP to homogenates before centrifugation. The data suggest that the regulatory subunit of the protein kinase, at least that of isozyme II, is bound to particulate material, and theactive catalytic subunit is released by formation of the regulatory subunit-cAMP complex when the tissue cAMP concentration is elevated. A model for compartmentalized hormonal control is presented.

Rat hearts were perfused with epinephrine and/or 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine for 2 min. These agents raised the concentration of cAMP and increased the fraction of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.70) in the active form. However, the content of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the soluble fraction of homogenates of these hearts was reduced and the amount in the particulate fraction was increased. A similar redistribution was obtained by adding cAMP to homogenates of control hearts. The reduction in soluble protein kinase content was due to apparent binding of the free catalytic subunit of the enzyme to particulate material (12,000 times g pellet) in media of low ionic strength (smaller than 100 mM KCl). The amount bound was, therefore, proportional to the dissociation of the holoenzyme. The binding was not altered by prior boiling or trypsin treatment of the particulate material, but it was prevented or reversed by the addition of 150 mM KCl. The catalytic subunit of the protein kinase from heart also bound to particulate fractions from liver or Escherichia coli and to various denatured proteins. These findings suggest that the protein kinase activity of membranes and particulate fractions has frequently been overestimated, since isolation of particulate materials has usually been carried out at low ionic strength. The data also imply that intracellular translocation of the protein kinase catalytic subunit, at least in heart tissue, is of questionable physiological significance.

The stimulatory and inhibitory activities in the crude preparation of protein kinase modulator from dog heart were separated by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration, and the stimulatory modulator was further purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The isolated stimulatory modulator, as the crude modulator preparation, stimulated the activity of the purified guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinases of both mammalian and arthropod origins in the presence of cGMP. The cGMP-dependent protein kinases were not activated by cGMP in the absence of either the isolated stimulatory modulator or the crude modulator. The stimulatory modulator, unlike the crude modulator had no effect on the activity of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase. The stimulatory modulator was a protein since its activity was destroyed by trypsin but was resistant to hydrolysis by DNase, RNase, phospholipase C, and lysozyme. The isolated inhibitory modulator, presumably the same as the protein inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase reported by Walsh et al. (Wash. D.A., Ashby, C.D., Gonzalez, C., Calkins, D., Fischer. E.H., and Krebs, E.G. (1971) J. Biol. Chem. 246, 1977-1985), depressed the cAMP-stimulated activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase as did the crude preparation of protein kinase modulator. The isolated inhibitory modulator, unlike the crude preparation, was without effect on cGMP-dependent protein kinase. The present findings provide evidence to support that in mammals there are separate proteins for the stimulatory and the inhibitory activities of protein kinase modulator, in contrast to the modulator from an arthropod tissue (lobster tail muscle, Donnelly et al. (Donnelly, T.E., Jr., Kuo, J.F., Reyes, P.L., Liu, Y.P., and Greengard, P. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 190-198) which has been shown to possess both activities.

The properties of purified mammalian adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)- and guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinases were compared. Several physical characteristics of the two enzymes were similar, including size, shape, affinity for cyclic nucleotide binding, and K(m) for ATP. In addition, the amino acid composition of the two proteins indicated a close composition homology (70-90%). Both cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases catalyzed phosphorylation of rat liver pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) and fructose 1,6-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11), rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase (EC 2.4.1.11) and phosphorylase b kinase (EC 2.7.1.38), and calf thymus histone H(2)b. The phosphorylation of several synthetic peptides and of trypsin-sensitive and trypsin-insensitive sites in glycogen synthase suggested similar recognition sites on the protein substrates for the two kinases. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase was the better catalyst with each protein or peptides substrate. The results suggest that the two enzymes evolved from a common ancestral protein.

The heat-stable protein (protein kinase modulator), partially purified from fresh bovine heart, possessed the ability to inhibit and stimulate adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase and guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase activities, respectively. The inhibitory activity of protein kinase modulator on cAMP-dependent protein kinase was abolished almost completely by trypsin treatment, while the ability to stimulate cGMP-dependent protein kinase activity was resistant to trypsin. Fractionation by a linear potassium phosphate gradient on DEAE-cellulose column did not clearly separate both activities. Phosphorylation of cardiac microsomal component, "phospholamban" (molecular weight = 22,000), was inhibited almost completely by the saturating amounts of protein kinase modulator. This inhibition of phospholamban phosphorylation by protein kinase modulator was accompanied by a decreased Ca uptake rate that had been stimulated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These findings indicate that protein kinase modulator is functional in controlling the cAMP-dependent protein kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of phospholamban and the rate of calcium transport, lending further support for the previously proposed mechanism, in which phospholamban is assumed to serve as a regulator of calcium transport in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.

A protein kinase which depends on the simultaneous presence of Ca2+ and the modulator protein for its histone phosphorylation activity has been demonstrated in rabbit skeletal muscle and partially purified. The purified enzyme was not activated by cAMP, cGMP, or incubation with trypsin. Nor was the enzyme inhibited by the protein inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. In addition to histone, myosin light chains and phosphorylase kinase served as substrates for the protein kinase, and their phosphorylation also depended on the presence of Ca2+ and the modulator protein. The phosphorylation of phosphorylase kinase was accompanied with a marked activation of the enzyme. The results suggest that the protein kinase has multiple functions and may be involved in the mediation of Ca2+ effects in many biological processes. It is proposed that this enzyme be designated as the modulator-dependent protein kinase. The modulator-dependent protein kinase may be identical to the myosin light chain kinase; chicken gizzard light chain kinase has been shown activatable by the modulator protein (Dabrowska, R., Sherry, J. M. F., Aramatorio, D. K., and Hartshorne, D. J. (1978) Biochemistry 17, 253-258).

Monomeric cAMP-binding fragments of molecular mass 16,000 and 14,000 daltons were obtained by Sephadex G-75 chromatography of partially trypsin-hydrolyzed regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase isozymes I and II, respectively. The Stokes radii were 19.1 and 16.4 A, the frictional ratios were 1.15 and 1.03, and the sedimentation coefficients were 1.94 and 1.91 S for the 16,000- and 14,000-dalton fragments, respectively. The 16,000-dalton fragment retained specific cyclic nucleotide binding characteristics of the native protein. The specificity of cyclic nucleotide binding to the 14,000-dalton fragment (cAMP greater than cIMP = 8-bromo-cAMP = 8-oxo-cAMP greater than cUMP = cGMP) differed from that of the native subunit (cAMP = 8-oxo-cAMP greater than 8-bromo-cAMP greater than cIMP greater than cUMP = cGMP). The 14,000-dalton fragment bound nearly 1 mol of cAMP/mol of fragment. The binding exchange rate of cAMP was much faster for the 14,000-dalton fragment than for either of the native regulatory subunits or for the 16,000 dalton fragment. Although hemin inhibited cAMP binding to the native regulatory subunits and to the 16,000 dalton fragment, the molecule did not affect cAMP binding to the 14,000-dalton fragment. Both of the native regulatory subunits and the isolated 16,000- and 14,000-dalton fragments could be covalently labeled with the photoaffinity analog, 8-N3-[32P]cAMP. The 14,000-dalton fragment could not be phosphorylated and neither fragment could recombine with the catalytic subunit to inhibit its activity. The results indicate that the functional entities of the regulatory subunit other than cAMP binding are destroyed by trypsin. The properties of the 16,000-dalton fragment suggest that the intact cAMP-binding site is contained in a small trypsin-resistant "core" of the native regulatory subunit. The properties of the 14,000-dalton fragment imply that part of the binding site of the native regulatory subunit was slighlty modified or lost during preparation of this fragment.

Immunoprecipitation of 32P-labeled CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase from freshly isolated rat hepatocytes followed by trypsin digestion and two-dimensional peptide mapping revealed multiple phosphorylation sites. Treatment of the hepatocytes with 0.5 mM of the cAMP analog, 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate or elevation of intracellular cAMP levels by cholera toxin activated the cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity in intact cells. Despite the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase no change in the rate of [3H]choline incorporation into phosphatidylcholine was detected. In addition, the activity of cytidylyltransferase in total cell homogenates and its distribution between soluble and particulate fractions remained unchanged. Comparison of peptide maps of 32P-labeled cytidylyltransferase obtained from control and cholera-toxin-treated hepatocytes did not reveal any differences in the phosphorylation state of cytidylyltransferase. Furthermore, only [32P]phosphoserine residues were detected following phosphoamino acid analysis. We conclude that cytidylyltransferase activity is not altered solely by the activation of the cAMP-dependent kinase in fresh hepatocytes.

Phosphorylation of immunopurified chicken oviduct progesterone receptor (PR) was studied in intact cells and under cell-free conditions. Cytosol PR was isolated by incubation with anti-PR monoclonal antibody alpha PR22 adsorbed to protein A-Sepharose and suspended in a reaction mixture containing 10 mM Mg2+, 0.1 mM [gamma-32P]ATP, and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) from bovine heart. All three major proteins of avian PR (PR-A, 79 kDa; PR-B, 110 kDa; 90 kDa) incorporated 32P-radioactivity on serine residues. The phosphorylation reaction was inhibited by synthetic inhibitors of protein kinases, H-8 and 20-residue peptide IP20. A 40 degrees C preexposure of PR oligomer increased phosphorylation of the 90-kDa protein, known to be a heat-shock protein (hsp-90). The extent of the phosphorylation reaction was temperature-dependent as the 32P-incorporation into PR-A and PR-B increased gradually, showing a maximum at 37 degrees C. Multiple phosphopeptides (4-7) were resolved by two-dimensional electrophoresis chromatography following cleavage of 32P-labeled peptides with trypsin. Both A and B forms of receptor showed similar phosphorylation patterns with B receptor digestion exhibiting two to three additional peptides. Under physiological conditions, preincubation of oviduct mince with forskolin, a regulator of intracellular cAMP levels, caused a greater extent of phosphorylation of PR-A and PR-B proteins. The results of this study demonstrate that chicken oviduct PR is an excellent substrate for the action of cAMP-PK in vitro and that this enzyme may be a physiological regulator of progesterone action in the oviduct.

Rat submandibular and parotid gland exocytosis is primarily controlled by beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation. Although its precise role in the regulation of salivary gland exocytosis is not fully understood, protein phosphorylation, mediated by the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, may be directly involved. Previous studies suggest that analogous 26-kDa integral membrane phosphoproteins may play a direct role in regulating exocytosis. Studies were here undertaken to purify and partially characterize both phosphoproteins. After endogenous phosphorylation with 32P, subcellular fraction and solubilization of the microsomal fraction in n-octyl beta-glucopyranoside, the 26-kDa integral membrane phosphoproteins were purified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), followed by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electroelution of the proteins. Amino acid analysis indicated a significant number of serine amino acids: N-terminal sequence data demonstrated a high level of homology; and trypsin digestion followed by reversed-phase HPLC indicated the possibility of multiple phosphorylation sites.
