A retro-inverso analogue of the pseudosubstrate sequence, Arg-Phe-Ala-Arg-Lys-Gly-Ala25-Leu-Arg-Gln-Lys-Asn-Val (1), found in the regulatory domain of all protein kinase C (PKC) subspecies was synthesized. It shows to be an inhibitor (IC50 = 31 microM) of the phosphorylation, by PKC, of [Ala9.10,Lys11.12] glycogen synthase (1-12). Its analogue in which D Ala25 is replaced by D Ser is not a PKC substrate, but a more potent inhibitor, competitive with the peptidic substrate (IC50 = 5 microM, Ki = 2 microM). Both retro-inverso peptides are highly specific for PKC versus adenosine cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and are totally stable towards proteolysis by trypsin or pronase.

Mouse BC3H1 myocytes were incubated with 32Pi before acetylcholine receptors were solubilized, immunoprecipitated, and subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. More than 90% of the 32P found in the receptor was bound to the delta subunit. Two phosphorylation sites in this subunit were resolved by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography after exhaustive proteolysis of the protein with trypsin. Sites 1 and 2 were phosphorylated to approximately the same level in control cells. The divalent cation ionophore, A23187, increased 32P in site 1 by 40%, but did not affect the 32P content of site 2. In contrast, isoproterenol increased 32P in site 2 by more than 60%, while increasing 32P in site 1 by only 20%. When dephosphorylated receptor was incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the delta subunit was phosphorylated to a maximal level of 1.6 phosphates/subunit. Approximately half of the phosphate went into site 2, with the remainder going into a site not phosphorylated in cells. The alpha subunit was phosphorylated more slowly, but phosphorylation of both alpha and delta subunits was blocked by the heat-stable protein inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of the receptor was also observed with preparations of phosphorylase kinase. In this case phosphorylation occurred in the beta subunit and site 1 of the delta subunit, neither of which were phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The rate of receptor phosphorylation by phosphorylase kinase was slow relative to that catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Therefore, it can not yet be concluded that phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates the beta subunit and the delta subunit site 1 in cells. However, the results strongly support the hypothesis that phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase accounts for phosphorylation of the alpha subunit and the delta subunit site 2 in response to elevations in cAMP.

ARPP-21 (cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, Mr = 21,000 as determined by SDS-PAGE) is a major cytosolic substrate for cAMP-stimulated protein phosphorylation in dopamine-innervated regions of the rat CNS. It has recently been purified to homogeneity from bovine caudate nucleus and characterized (Hemmings and Greengard, 1989). ARPP-21 is isolated as 2 isoforms, ARPP-21A and ARPP-21B. The amino acid sequence of purified bovine ARPP-21B has now been determined by gas-phase sequencing. The S-14C-carboxymethylated protein was subjected to enzymatic cleavage with trypsin, chymotrypsin, subtilisin, and endoproteinase Lys-C. The resulting peptides were purified by high-performance liquid chromatography, and selected peptides were subjected to amino acid analysis and/or amino acid sequencing by automated Edman degradation. ARPP-21B consists of a single NH2-terminal blocked polypeptide chain of 88 residues, with a calculated molecular mass of 9561 Da, including an NH2-terminal acetyl group inferred by deblocking with an acylaminopeptidase. This molecular mass is significantly lower than earlier estimates based on SDS-PAGE or hydrodynamic measurements. The seryl residue phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (Hemmings et al., 1989) is located at position 55. The molecule contains 1 cysteinyl residue, at position 71, and contains no methionyl, tyrosyl, phenylalanyl, tryptophanyl, or histidinyl residues. Determination of the primary structure of ARPP-21, one of several phosphoproteins localized to dopaminoceptive neurons in the basal ganglia, provides a framework for further investigations into the molecular mechanisms involved in dopaminergic neurotransmission.

The Na+-H+ exchanger from solubilized rabbit renal brush border membranes is inhibited by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) mediated protein phosphorylation. To characterize this inhibitory response and its sensitivity to limited proteolysis, the activity of the transporter was assayed after reconstitution of the proteins into artificial lipid vesicles. Limited trypsin digestion increased the basal rate of proton gradient-stimulated, amiloride-inhibitable sodium uptake in reconstituted proteoliposomes and blocked the inhibitory response to PKA-mediated protein phosphorylation. To determine if the inhibitory response to PKA-mediated protein phosphorylation could be restored to the trypsin-treated solubilized proteins, nontrypsinized solubilized brush border membrane proteins were separated by column chromatography. The addition of small molecular weight polypeptides, fractionated on Superose-12 FPLC (Ve = 0.7), to trypsinized solubilized brush border membrane proteins restored the inhibitory response to PKA-mediated protein phosphorylation. Similarly, the addition of the 0.1 M NaCl fraction from an anion exchange column, Mono Q-FPLC, also restored the inhibitory response to PKA. Both protein fractions contained a common 42-43 kDa protein which was preferentially phosphorylated by PKA. These results indicate that limited trypsin digestion dissociates the activity of the renal Na+-H+ exchanger from its regulation by PKA. It is suggested that trypsin cleaves an inhibitory component of the transporter and that this component is the site of PKA-mediated regulation. Phosphoprotein analysis of fractions that restored PKA regulation raises the possibility that a polypeptide of 42-43 kDa is involved in the inhibition of the renal Na+-H+ exchanger by PKA-mediated protein phosphorylation.

The calmodulin content in cardiomyocyte cytosol of hypoxic myocardium is increased compared to normal level. This is unaccompanied by differences in the stimulating effect of calmodulin on Ca2+ transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of ischemic heart. The decrease of the endogenous cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity in ischemia is associated with the lowered resistance to trypsinolysis of Ca2+ transport in SR (trypsin/microsomal protein ratio is 1:10) with simultaneous Ca-ATPase activation. In the presence of exogenous protein kinase and cAMP the protective effect of phosphorylation on Ca2+ transport in SR vesicles of hypoxic cardiomyocytes treated with trypsin for 10 min reaches the same level as in intact heart.

The 18,000-dalton bovine lens fiber cell intrinsic membrane protein MP18 was phosphorylated on a serine residue by both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C. In addition, this protein bound calmodulin and was recognized by a monoclonal antibody (2D10). These different regions were localized using enzymatic and chemical fragmentation of electrophoretically purified MP18 that had been phosphorylated with either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase C. Partial digestion of 32P-labeled MP18 with protease V8 resulted in a Mr = 17,000 peptide that bound calmodulin, but neither contained 32P or was recognized by the monoclonal antibody 2D10. Furthermore, the 17-kDa peptide had the same N-terminal amino acid sequence as MP18. Thus, the monoclonal antibody 2D10 recognition site and the protein kinase phosphorylation site(s) are close together and confined to a small region in the C terminus of MP18. This conclusion was confirmed in experiments where MP18 was fragmented with trypsin, endoproteinase Lys-C, or CNBr. The location of the phosphorylation site was confirmed by sequencing the small 32P-labeled, C-terminal peptide that resulted from protease V8 digestion of 32P-labeled MP18. This peptide contained a consensus sequence for cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

The beta 2-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) is an integral membrane glycoprotein of apparent Mr approximately equal to 64,000. The amino acid sequence deduced from the beta-AR gene reveals homology with the visual pigment rhodopsin of retinal rod outer segments. We have proposed a structural model of beta-AR which is similar to that elucidated for rhodopsin. In this paper we identify a number of structural and topographical characteristics of beta-AR consistent with the model through the use of limited proteolysis. Limited trypsinization of beta-AR reconstituted in lipid vesicles yields two insoluble (integral membrane) domains of Mr approximately equal to 38,000 and 26,000. Identical results were obtained in intact cells, indicating that the cleavage site of the receptor is accessible at the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane. The amino-terminal domain (38 kDa) contains the ligand binding site (as revealed by photoaffinity labeling) and the sites of glycosylation (as revealed by its sensitivity to endoglycosidase F), whereas the carboxyl-terminal domain (26 kDa) contains all the sites of in vitro phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase. Of four canonical sites for N-linked glycosylation, two near the amino and two near the carboxyl terminus, only those in the amino-terminal domain (Asn6 and Asn15) are utilized and sensitive to endoglycosidase F. Carboxypeptidase Y treatment of reconstituted native beta-adrenergic receptor generates a truncated (approximately 57 kDa) glycopeptide that has lost most of the sites phosphorylated by beta-AR kinase and one of the sites phosphorylated by protein kinase A. The various features delineated, including the length of the carboxypeptidase Y-sensitive region, the extracellular location of the trypsin-sensitive site, the location of the sites of phosphorylation and glycosylation all constrain the receptor to a rhodopsin-like structure with multiple membrane spanning segments.

A form of glycogen synthase kinase designated GSK-M3 was purified 4000-fold from rat skeletal muscle by phosphocellulose, Affi-Gel blue, Sephacryl S-300 and carboxymethyl-Sephadex column chromatography. Separation of GSK-M from the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase was facilitated by converting the catalytic subunit to the holoenzyme form by addition of the regulatory subunit prior to the gel filtration step. GSK-M had an apparent Mr 62,000 (based on gel filtration), an apparent Km of 11 microM for ATP, and an apparent Km of 4 microM for rat skeletal muscle glycogen synthase. The kinase had very little activity with 0.2 mM GTP as the phosphate donor. Kinase activity was not affected by the addition of cyclic nucleotides, EGTA, heparin, glucose 6-P, glycogen, or the heat-stable inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of glycogen synthase from rat skeletal muscle by GSK-M reduced the activity ratio (activity in the absence of Glc-6-P/activity in the presence of Glc-6-P X 100) from 90 to 25% when approximately 1.2 mol of phosphate was incorporated per mole of glycogen synthase subunit. Phosphopeptide maps of glycogen synthase obtained after digestion with CNBr or trypsin showed that this kinase phosphorylated glycogen synthase in serine residues found in the peptides containing the sites known as site 2, which is located in the N-terminal CNBr peptide, and site 3, which is located in the C-terminal CNBr peptide of glycogen synthase. In addition to phosphorylating glycogen synthase, GSK-M phosphorylated inhibitor 2 and activated ATP-Mg-dependent protein phosphatase. Activation of the protein phosphatase by GSK-M was dependent on ATP and was virtually absent when ATP was replaced with GTP. GSK-M had minimal activity toward phosphorylase b, casein, phosvitin, and mixed histones. These data indicate that GSK-M, a major form of glycogen synthase kinase from rat skeletal muscle, differs from the known glycogen synthase kinases isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle.

Adrenodoxin is an iron-sulfur protein which functions as a carrier of reducing equivalents in steroid hydroxylation reactions catalyzed by specific cytochromes P-450 in steroidogenic tissues such as adrenal cortex. Purified bovine adrenocortical adrenodoxin was shown to be selectively phosphorylated upon incubation with purified cAMP-dependent protein kinase, whereas other protein kinases were ineffective. The phosphorylation reaction was completed within 45 min at 30 degrees C and resulted in the optimal incorporation of 1 mol phosphate/mol adrenodoxin. Apoadrenodoxin, lacking the iron-sulfur cluster, was also phosphorylated under similar conditions. An apparent Km of 55 microM with a Vmax of 0.3 pmol 32P incorporated min-1 mg adrenodoxin-1 was calculated. Phosphorylation resulted in a striking change in several molecular properties of adrenodoxin, such as electrophoretic behavior and hydroxyapatite affinity, thus providing the possibility of clearly separating phosphorylated from unphosphorylated adrenodoxin. In addition, phosphoadrenodoxin became refractory to mild trypsin degradation, whereas this was not the case with apoadrenodoxin. The phosphorylated site of adrenodoxin was identified as a serine residue; study of peptide products resulting from CNBr and proteolytic cleavages of phosphoadrenodoxin suggested that Ser-88 was the target of the phosphorylation reaction. The influence of phosphorylation upon adrenodoxin activity was examined using cholesterol side-chain cleavage and 11 beta-hydroxylase (11 beta) systems, reconstituted from purified components. Phosphorylation of adrenodoxin resulted in an average twofold decrease in its Km values for the two specific cytochromes P-450 involved. This effect was paralleled by a positive relationship between the degree of adrenodoxin phosphorylation and its ability to support the overall activity of reconstituted side-chain cleavage and 11 beta-hydroxylase systems. Although it remains to be examined whether adrenodoxin is phosphorylated in the intact cell, the present observations suggest that it represents a potential target in the hormonal regulation of the adrenocortical differentiated functions, especially by stimulatory agents acting through a cyclic-AMP-dependent mechanism, such as adrenocorticotropin.

The purified catalytic subunit (C) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase produced a 2-fold activation of the low Km phosphodiesterase in crude microsomes (P-2 pellet) of rat adipocytes. This activation was C subunit concentration-dependent, ATP-dependent, blocked by a specific peptide inhibitor, and lost if the C subunit was first heat denatured. The concentration of ATP necessary for half-maximal activation of the low Km phosphodiesterase was 4.50 +/- 1.1 microM, which was nearly the same as the known Km of C subunit for ATP (3.1 microM) using other substrates. The concentration of C subunit producing half-maximal activation of phosphodiesterase was 0.22 +/- 0.04 microM, slightly less than the measured concentration of total C subunit in adipocytes (0.45 microM). The activation of the low Km phosphodiesterase by C subunit was specific, since on an equimolar basis, myosin light chain kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II did not activate the enzyme. The percent stimulation of phosphodiesterase by C subunit was about the same as that produced by incubation of adipocytes with a cAMP analog, and the enzyme first activated in vivo with the analog was not activated to the same extent (on a percentage basis) by in vitro treatment with C subunit. Treatment of the crude microsomes with trypsin resulted in transfer of phosphodiesterase catalytic activity from the particulate to the supernatant fraction, but the enzyme in the supernatant was minimally activated by C subunit, suggesting either loss or dislocation of the regulatory component. The C subunit-mediated activation of phosphodiesterase was preserved after either transfer of phosphodiesterase activity to the supernatant fraction by nonionic detergents or partial purification of the transferred enzyme. The present findings are consistent with the suggestion that protein kinase regulates the concentration of cAMP through phosphodiesterase activation and provide direct evidence that the mechanism of activation involves phosphorylation.
