Rat stimulated heavy gastric membranes enriched with (H+-K+)-ATPase, a marker for the apical membrane of the parietal cell, displayed a 32P-histone-dephosphorylating activity which appeared to be physically copurified with, but functionally independent of, the ATPase. The protein phosphatase activity was optimal at pH 7.5 and was inhibited by fluoride (50 mM), inorganic phosphate (50 mM), and p-chloromercuribenzoate (0.1 mM), but was insensitive to vanadate (1 mM). The 32P-phosphoproteins in the heavy gastric membranes were also dephosphorylated, apparently by their own membrane-bound phosphatase in the presence of Mg2+ at millimolar concentrations, which is likely to enhance membrane-membrane interaction. Heavy gastric membrane vesicles incubated with Mg2+ (2 mM) exhibited no alterations in K+-dependent ATP-hydrolyzing activity, Cl permeability, and protein and lipid compositions, but irreversibly lost the ATP, K+-dependent H+-pumping activity. Since valinomycin, a K+-specific ionophore, restored the intravesicular acidifying activity and an inhibitor of the protein phosphatase, inorganic phosphate, largely blocked the Mg2+-induced change in the membrane transport function, it is reasonable to propose that the phosphatase action on certain membrane proteins, possibly the putative K+ transporter or regulatory proteins, selectively decreases K+-conductance in the apical membranes of gastric parietal cells.

We have characterized protein phosphorylation in vitro in subcellular fractions from Drosophila melanogaster heads. Optimal conditions for the incorporation of 32P into proteins, and its dependence on ATP, divalent cations, and cyclic nucleotides have been determined, as well as the effect of inhibitors of ATPase, protein phosphatase, and protein kinase on protein phosphorylation. Among these inhibitors, Zn2+ was found to affect the incorporation of 32P into specific bands and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate was found to be most suited for freezing the activity of both kinases and phosphatases. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-dPK) activity was present in both supernatant (S2) and particulate (P2) fractions, with the majority (60-85%, depending on the homogenization medium) being associated with S2, as determined by phosphorylation of exogenous synapsin I. cAMP-dPK catalyzed the phosphorylation of at least 18 endogenous polypeptides in S2 and at least 10 endogenous polypeptides in P2. These proteins could be classified on the basis of the extent of stimulation of phosphorylation by cyclic nucleotides, dependence on cyclic nucleotide concentration, and rate of phosphorylation. A phosphoprotein of 51 kilodaltons (pp51) was a major component of the S2 and P2 fractions and displayed properties expected from the regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dPK, R-II. A phosphoprotein doublet of approximately 37 kilodaltons (pp37) was stimulated to the largest extent by cAMP in the P2 and S2 fractions. The phosphorylation of several proteins in both fractions was significantly lowered by the mammalian Walsh inhibitor of cAMP-dPK, whereas in some cases the stimulation of phosphorylation of the same proteins by exogeneous cAMP was relatively small. Phosphoproteins from two learning mutants known to be deficient in cAMP metabolism, dnc and rut, were analyzed for their extent of phosphorylation in the presence of a stable cAMP analogue; no significant differences from normal were detected, suggesting that the genetic defect in cAMP metabolism is not accompanied by constituent abnormalities in phosphorylated substrates in the adult fly, and that the physiological defects in these mutants result from aberrations in the interaction of the cAMP cascade with normal substrates. The majority of Ca2+/calmodulin kinase activity (80-90%, depending on the homogenization procedure) was associated with S2, as revealed by phosphorylation of exogenous synapsin I. Two endogenous substrates for this kinase in P2 had molecular masses of approximately 45 and 87 kilodaltons. At least 11 substrates for the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase were detected in S2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Enhancement of endogenous kinase-dependent in vitro protein phosphorylation of subcellular fractions from brains and spinal cords of hens paralyzed 3 weeks after intoxication with tri-o-cresyl phosphate was correlated with the development of organophosphorus compound-induced delayed neurotoxicity (OPIDN). This was documented by showing: parallel dose-dependence curves for both responses, phosphorylation enhancement in proteins from hens treated with OPIDN-producing O-4-bromo-2,5-dichlorophenyl-O-methyl phenylphosphonothioates, but not in those treated with non-OPIDN-producing O,O-diethyl-O-4-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate or tri-p-cresyl phosphate, and shared age and species selectivities for both effects. These results strengthen our earlier observation of a close temporal relationship between protein phosphorylation enhancement and OPIDN. Further studies suggest that the proximate cause of the enhanced phosphorylation is not related to an alteration in protein phosphatase activity or to the preservation of a rate-limiting pool of [gamma-32P]ATP by adenosine triphosphatase inhibition. Therefore, it is most likely related either to altered protein kinase activity or amount (due to chemically originated physical disruption of the neuron). These data support the hypothesis that increased protein phosphorylation may be involved in the development of OPIDN.

In intact red cells a CaMg-ATPase activity commensurable with that of the Ca-pump exists consisting mainly of protein kinase-protein phosphatase enzymes. The Ca:ATP stoichiometry of the Ca-pump is most probably 2:1, the deviation from this value at low [Ca] in inside-out-vesicles is possibly an artifact. Ca-affinity of the Ca-pump is low in intact red cells, where both calmodulin and calmodulin binding protein are present, and the cAMP-dependent activatory mechanism found in many other cells is inactive. Ca-affinity, however, can be enhanced by A23187, by Ca-EGTA buffers at the internal membrane surface (eliminating some structural divalent cations?), by enrichment in calmodulin and loss in calmodulin binding protein and by mild proteolytic effects on the inner surface of the membrane. Mild trypsin treatment of the external surface of the membrane increases the hydrolysis rate, but not the Ca-affinity of the Ca-pump and other CaMg-ATPases, increases membrane protein phosphorylation and protects against echinocytic shape transformation. All these findings reflect the interrelatedness of several membrane components influencing the rate and/or Ca-affinity of CaMg-ATPases.

Enzyme cytochemical and immunocytochemical techniques at the light and electron microscope levels were used to study the distribution of potential markers of chemical transformation in rodent bladders. In rat tumours induced by in vivo treatment with methylnitrosourea, alkaline phosphatase localization was normal on the external surface of the plasma membranes of some cells but abnormal in others where reaction product was seen only on intracellular membranes. 5'-Nucleotidase localization was abnormal in all cells, being seen on endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear membranes only, while in normal bladders only ectoenzyme localization was seen. Heterogeneity of alkaline phosphatase amd 5'-nucleotidase localization was seen on the plasma membranes of these tumours after 15 days in organ culture. Some cells produced enzyme and others did not; in other cells only parts of the membrane reacted heavily, while other regions were negative. In transformed cell cultures and tumours of mouse bladder derived by in vitro treatment of explants with dimethylbenz (a) anthracene, a bimodal pattern of alkaline phosphatase localization was seen. Cells had either normal ectoenzyme reaction product or abnormal intracellular membrane reaction product. 5'-Nucleotidase and ADPase were lost after transformation while cAMP-phosphodiesterase was retained as an ectoenzyme. Mg.ATPase and a cAMP-independent, calcium-insensitive 'protein phosphatase' were induced in transformed cell cultures. An epithelial antigen was detected in the cytoplasm of both normal and transformed cells associated with reticular cytoplasmic ground substance, plasma membrane vesicles and cytoskeletal elements.

The actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin II from Acanthamoeba castellanii is inhibited by phosphorylation of 3 serine residues near the carboxyl end of the heavy chain of the molecule. We have purified a protein phosphatase from Acanthamoeba using myosin II as a substrate. This phosphatase has a molecular weight of 39,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and an isoelectric point in urea of 5.2. The enzyme also is active against other phosphoserine protein substrates such as turkey gizzard smooth muscle myosin light chain, but not against a synthetic phosphotyrosine protein substrate. It does not hydrolyze ATP or p-nitrophenol phosphate. No effector has been found to increase substantially the activity of the enzyme as isolated, but it is inhibited by ATP, pyrophosphate, and NaF. This inhibition is reduced in the presence of MnCl2. The Mg2+-dependent actin-activated ATPase of myosin II is activated by dephosphorylation of phosphorylated myosin II by the phosphatase. Its broad substrate specificity, molecular weight, and response to protein phosphatase inhibitors suggest that the Acanthamoeba protein phosphatase is a type 2A phosphatase (Cohen, P. (1982) Nature (Lond.) 206, 613-620).

The activities of nuclear envelope-associated protein phosphokinase and protein phosphatase were determined in nuclear ghosts from liver and oviduct of quails. The protein kinase was found to be inhibited by poly(A) by 75%. During the kinase reaction proteins with molecular weights of 106 000 and 64 000 were phosphorylated. The phosphoprotein phosphatase from liver was stimulated to 190% by poly(A), whereas only a slight enhancing effect by this polymer was determined with the oviduct enzyme (to 125%). Comparative determinations of the nuclear ghost-associated enzyme activities revealed the following values (in nmol Pi/min per 10(8) ghosts); oviduct: phosphokinase, 0.015; phosphatase, 0.004 and nucleoside triphosphatase, 39.4; and liver: phosphokinase, 0.044; phosphatase, 0.012 and nucleoside triphosphatase, 11.7. These data indicate that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation proceeds independently of the nucleoside triphosphatase cycle. This assumption is supported by analytical results revealing that no marked dephosphorylation occurs after poly(A) binding to the nuclear envelope. Moreover, stoichiometrical data showed a nearly 1:1 molar ratio between ATP-binding and phosphorylation of nuclear envelope protein. From these findings a new model for the nucleoside triphosphatase-mediated poly(A)(+)mRNA efflux from nuclei is deducted, proposing phosphokinase and phosphatase only to modulate the affinity of the 'carrier structure' for poly(A) (+)mRNA, but not to constitute the nucleoside triphosphatase.

Previous studies of hormonal regulation of renal Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase have indicated that the activity of the sodium pump is regulated by phosphorylation-dephosphorylation reactions. Here we report that okadaic acid (OA) and calyculin A (CL-A), inhibitors of protein phosphatase (PP)-1 and PP-2A, inhibited Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in cells from the rat thick ascending limb (TAL) of loop of Henle in a dose-dependent manner. CL-A was 10-fold more potent than OA. On the basis of the inhibitory constant values of CL-A and OA for PP-1 and PP-2A, it is concluded that the tubular effect is mainly due to inhibition of PP-1. In situ hybridization studies with oligonucleotide probes revealed very strong PP-1 alpha and PP-1 gamma 1 mRNA labeling in the outer stripe of the outer medulla, strong labeling in the inner stripe of the outer medulla, and weak labeling in the inner medulla. Very weak labeling was demonstrated in the outer cortex. PP-1 beta mRNA labeling was very strong in the inner stripe of the outer medulla, whereas the outer stripe had weaker labeling, and the inner medulla had weak labeling. PP-1 alpha, PP-1 beta, and PP-1 gamma 1 mRNA were also demonstrated in the transitional epithelium of the ureter. The abundance of the PP-1 alpha and PP-1 gamma isoforms as measured by immunoblotting was very high in tissue from the outer medulla, which also has a high abundance of the endogenous dopamine-regulated PP-1 inhibitor, DARPP-32.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Ca2+ ATPases deplete the cytosol of Ca2+ ions and are crucial to cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. The PMC1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a vacuole membrane protein that is 40% identical to the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPases (PMCAs) of mammalian cells. Mutants lacking PMC1 grow well in standard media, but sequester Ca2+ into the vacuole at 20% of the wild-type levels. pmc1 null mutants fail to grow in media containing high levels of Ca2+, suggesting a role of PMC1 in Ca2+ tolerance. The growth inhibitory effect of added Ca2+ requires activation of calcineurin, a Ca2+ and calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase. Mutations in calcineurin A or B subunits or the inhibitory compounds FK506 and cyclosporin A restore growth of pmc1 mutants in high Ca2+ media. Also, growth is restored by recessive mutations that inactivate the high-affinity Ca(2+)-binding sites in calmodulin. This mutant calmodulin has apparently lost the ability to activate calcineurin in vivo. These results suggest that activation of calcineurin by Ca2+ and calmodulin can negatively affect yeast growth. A second Ca2+ ATPase homolog encoded by the PMR1 gene acts together with PMC1 to prevent lethal activation of calcineurin even in standard (low Ca2+) conditions. We propose that these Ca2+ ATPase homologs are essential in yeast to deplete the cytosol of Ca2+ ions which, at elevated concentrations, inhibits yeast growth through inappropriate activation of calcineurin.

Calcineurin is a conserved Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase that plays a critical role in Ca(2+)-mediated signaling in many cells. Yeast cells lacking functional calcineurin (cna1 cna2 or cnb1 mutants) display growth defects under specific environmental conditions, for example, in the presence of high concentrations of Na+, Li+, Mn2+, or OH- but are indistinguishable from wild-type cells under standard culture conditions. To characterize regulatory pathways that may overlap with calcineurin, we performed a synthetic lethal screen to identify mutants that require calcineurin on standard growth media. The characterization of one such mutant, cnd1-8, is presented. The CND1 gene was cloned, and sequence analysis predicts that it encodes a novel protein 1,876 amino acids in length with multiple membrane-spanning domains. CND1 is identical to the gene identified previously as FKS1, ETG1, and CWH53, cnd1 mutants are sensitive to FK506 and cyclosporin A and exhibit slow growth that is improved by the addition of osmotic stabilizing agents. This osmotic agent-remedial growth defect and microscopic evidence of spontaneous cell lysis in cnd1 cultures suggest that cell integrity is compromised in these mutants. Mutations in the genes for yeast protein kinase C (pkc1) and a MAP kinase (mpk1/slt2) disrupt a Ca(2+)-dependent signaling pathway required to maintain a normal cell wall and cell integrity. We show that pkc1 and mpk1/slt2 growth defects are more severe in the absence of calcineurin function and less severe in the presence of a constitutively active form of calcineurin. These observations suggest that calcineurin and protein kinase C perform independent but physiologically related functions in yeast cells. We show that several mutants that lack a functional vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (vma) require calcineurin for vegetative growth. We discuss possible roles for calcineurin in regulating intracellular ion homeostasis and in maintaining cell integrity.
