[32P]ATP-citrate lyase phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase was partially digested by trypsin. Two tryptic 32P-labeled phosphopeptides containing more than 90% of the 32P radioactivity present on the phosphorylated enzyme were purified and found to have overlapping amino acid sequences around the same phosphorylated site (Thr-Ala-Ser(32P)-Phe-Ser-Glu-Ser-Arg). Tryptic digestion of 32P-labeled ATP-citrate lyase purified from 32P-labeled hepatocytes exposed to glucagon yielded a major 32P-labeled peptide of identical amino acid composition with that indicated above. Thus, the site on ATP-citrate lyase phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro resides on the same octapeptide as the site of glucagon-stimulated phosphorylation in intact hepatocytes.

Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in supernatants of homogenates of kidneys from vitamin D-deficient chicks is decreased to 70% of the level measured in kidneys from normal chicks. Activity was restored to normal by oral administration of vitamin D or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 for 1 or 2 weeks. Both isozymes of cAMP-dependent protein kinase were reduced to the same extent by vitamin D deficiency. The decreased enzyme activity could not be accounted for by a shift to the particulate fraction nor by an increased requirement for cyclic AMP. A heat stable, trichloroacetic acid-precipitable, trypsin-labile inhibitor of protein kinase activity was identified and quantitated in kidneys from vitamin D-deficient chicks (16 to 26 units/mg of protein) and from those given vitamin D (2 to 6 units/mg of protein). The measured difference in inhibitor levels could not be attributed to differential stability in kidney homogenates from vitamin D-deficient or -repleted chicks. The observed increase in inhibitor level with vitamin D deficiency is not sufficient to account for the decrease in cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity, suggesting that the total amount of this enzyme activity is reduced in vitamin D deficiency.

The amino acid sequence at the ATP-binding site on the cGMP-dependent protein kinase has been determined. For this determination the enzyme was labeled covalently by 5'-p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyladenosine and fragmented using cyanogen bromide or digested by trypsin after succinylation. The 14C-labeled peptides were purified by gel filtration and high performance liquid chromatography. The amino acid sequence around the site was found to be: -Val-Glu-Leu-Val-Gln-Leu-Lys-Ser-Glu-Glu-Ser-Lys-Thr-Phe-Ala-Met-*Lys-Ile-Leu-Lys--Lys-Arg-His-Ile-Val-Asp-Thr-Arg-Gln-Gln-Glu-His-Ile-Arg-Ser-Glu-Lys-, in which *Lys is the lysine residue that was modified by the affinity reagent. When this sequence was compared with that of the ATP-binding site of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a high degree of structural homology was observed for this site in the two proteins.

Studies have been initiated to determine the hormonal regulation of glycogen synthase in rabbit skeletal muscle. It was found that glycogen synthase purified from control animals was quite highly phosphorylated (2.35 mol phosphate/mol synthase subunit) with 40% of the phosphate in the trypsin-sensitive or COOH-terminal domain, and 60% in the trypsin-insensitive or NH2-terminal domain. The phosphorylation state of synthase was elevated (3.9 mol/mol) by epinephrine injection and in the diabetic condition. With epinephrine, about 76% of the additional phosphate was incorporated in the trypsin-sensitive domain, which strongly supports the contention that this hormone acts through the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase. In the synthase purified from diabetic rabbits, 90% of the additional phosphate was in the trypsin-insensitive domain. Insulin treatment of the diabetics resulted in specific dephosphorylation of the trypsin-insensitive domain. These results indicate that in this system insulin is not acting by inhibition of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

The modification and concomitant inactivation of the catalytic subunit of bovine heart cAMP-dependent protein kinase with affinity analogs of peptide substrates potentially capable of undergoing disulfide interchange with enzyme-bound sulfhydryl groups have been used to probe the active site associated with peptide binding. The regeneration of catalytic activity on treatment of the modified enzymes with dithiothreitol and the observation that prior reaction with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) blocks the modification of the kinase by these reagents are consistent with the proposal that only thiol residues are reacting. The affinity analog Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Cys(3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl)-Leu-Gly, 1, and the closely related peptide AcLeu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Cys(3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl)-Leu-Gly-OEt, 3, react with a single sulfhydryl as shown by the stoichiometry of the release of the 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl group and the amount of label incorporated in the enzyme when the radioactively labeled peptide analog of 3 (peptide 4) is employed as the modifying agent. The kinetics of the reaction of 1 with 4.3 microM catalytic subunit was monophasic (employing substrate in excess conditions), yielding an apparent value of KI of approximately 40 microM and a k2 value of approximately 0.25 s-1. The low value of the observed KI, together with the observation that protein kinase substrates inhibit the modification reactions, suggest strongly that the cysteine residue undergoing reaction is in the vicinity of the active site. By trypsin-catalyzed degradation and identification of the peptide segment modified by covalent attachment of the peptide portion of the radioactive analog 4, the single cysteine modified was identified as cysteine-198.

32P-labeled ATP-citrate lyase isolated from 32P-labeled hepatocytes treated with insulin contained 1.6-1.8-fold greater 32P-radioactivity per mg protein than control enzyme. Both enzyme preparations were digested in parallel with trypsin until 94% of all 32P-radioactivity was rendered acid soluble. Quantitative high performance liquid chromatographic peptide mapping of the tryptic digests revealed a principal 32P-peptide which accounted for at least 80% of the insulin induced increment in 32P-radioactivity of native lyase. This peptide was purified, sequenced, and the site of 32P-phosphorylation assigned by two methods: electrophoresis (pH 6.5) of residual peptide after each step of Edman degradation and solid phase sequencing. The site of insulin-directed phosphorylation of ATP-citrate lyase (Thr-Ala-Ser(32P)-Phe-Ser-Glu-Ser-Arg) is the same as that directed by glucagon, and, in turn, identical with that phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro.

Leukocyte glycogen synthase (UDPglucose:glycogen 4-alpha-d-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.11) was phosphorylated to about one P1/synthase subunit by either the cAMP-dependent protein kinase or the cAMP-dependent synthase kinase. The relationship between dephosphorylation and the increase in the ratio of independence was investigated by analysis of the release of 32P-labelled phosphopeptides from the trypsin-sensitive and the trypsin-insensitive regions. The trypsin-insensitive region was predominantly dephosphorylated and a close correlation between dephosphorylation of a phosphopeptide in the trypsin-insensitive region and activation of glycogen synthase is reported for the enzyme phosphorylated in both ways.

The cytosol fraction of the cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains a low-molecular-mass, heat-stable inhibitor for endogenous cAMP-independent protein kinase. The inhibitor (Mr 15 000) is specific toward the protein kinase of A type, while the protein kinase of G type and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase are not affected. The following results suggest a protein structure of the inhibitor: 1. preincubation of the inhibitor with trypsin totally abolished its activity; 2. the inhibitor can be labelled by reductive alkylation of the amino acids with [14C]formaldehyde and sodium cyanoborohydride. The kinetic experiments have shown that the inhibitor is a competitive effector of the protein kinase of A type with respect to the protein substrate.

Bovine heart phosphorylase kinase has been isolated by a procedure involving precipitation with polyethylene glycol, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography and calmodulin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The isolated enzyme had a specific activity of 8.3 IU/mg of protein at pH 8.2 at 30 degrees C in the presence of 1% glycogen. The native enzyme had a sedimentation coefficient of 23 S and the Mr of the alpha', beta, gamma, and delta subunits, were 140,000, 130,000, 46,000, and 18,000, respectively. Activation of the phosphorylase kinase by the catalytic subunit of bovine heart cAMP-dependent protein kinase increases the pH 6.8/8.2 activity ratio from 0.01 to 0.32-0.38. Glycogen (1%) decreased the Km of the activated phosphorylase kinase at pH 6.8 for phosphorylase b from 5.5 to 1.25 mg/ml. Trypsin treatment increased the pH 6.8 activity but decreased the pH 8.2 activity. During this process the alpha' subunit was converted to a Mr 110,000 polypeptide and the enzyme activity was converted essentially to a 5.9 S species having an apparent Mr of 100,000 as determined by gel filtration. On extended trypsin treatment only one major polypeptide corresponding to the beta subunit remained. The same polypeptide was present in the active fractions following gel filtration of the trypsinized kinase.

The binding of [3H]cGMP to purified beef lung cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cG kinase) was examined using two methods of membrane filtration which avoided loss of bound [3H]cGMP. The enzyme bound 1.6-2.0 mol of [3H]cGMP/mol of monomer. If the kinase was saturated with [3H]cGMP and then excess unlabeled cGMP was added, [3H]cGMP dissociated from the enzyme as two approximately equal components (Sites 1 and 2). When 8-bromo-cGMP or cIMP was added to the [3H]cGMP-binding reaction at a concentration sufficient to competitively inhibit binding by greater than 50%, the relative amount of the slower or faster component, respectively, of [3H]cGMP dissociation decreased during the cGMP chase. The data indicated that the cG kinase, like its cAMP-dependent protein kinase homologue, possesses two highly conserved intrachain cyclic nucleotide-binding sites which have different dissociation rates and analog specificity. The Ka of the kinase for cGMP was about 20-fold lower using histone instead of heptapeptide as substrate. Aging of the enzyme caused conversion to a higher Ka form of the kinase and an apparent increase in the Site 1 cGMP dissociation rate. Using fresh enzyme and heptapeptide as substrate, Site 1 occupation occurred at lower concentrations of cGMP than did Site 2 occupation, and was associated with an increase in protein kinase activity. However, kinase activity appeared to correlate better with total cGMP binding than with binding to either of the two sites, and the activation by cGMP exhibited positive cooperativity (n = 1.57). It is suggested that both intrachain sites are involved in protein kinase activation. E2 + 4 cGMP in equilibrium E2 . cGMP4 The cG kinase could be photoaffinity-labeled using 8-azido-[32P]cAMP. When the labeled cG kinase was trypsin-treated followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-slab gel electrophoresis, a single major peptide of approximate Mr = 12,000 was resolved.
