The role of protein phosphatases in the regulation of Na-K-Cl cotransport was examined in human pigmented ciliary epithelial (PE) cells. Both a 37 kDa form and a 72 kDa form of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) could be immunologically detected. The protein phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A stimulated Na-K-Cl cotransport by 89 +/- 12% at 10 n M, whereas okadaic acid had no effect at concentrations less than 100 n M. Calyculin A had no significant effect on either Na-K ATPase or ouabain-insensitive, bumetanide-insensitive 86Rb+uptake. These data suggest that PP1 plays a role in the inhibition of Na-K-Cl cotransport in PE cells. Treatment of cells with phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator caused an 82% inhibition of Na-K-Cl cotransport. When cells were first treated for 5 min with PMA, 10 n M calyculin A stimulated Na-K-Cl cotransport by 53% compared to 101% by calyculin A alone. Treatment of cells with PMA after stimulation of Na-K-Cl cotransport by calyculin A resulted in a prompt 56% drop in cotransport activity. These data suggest that maximal inhibition of Na-K-Cl cotransport by PKC requires PP1 activity, but that a part of PKCs inhibitory effect is independent of PP1. The effect of PKC activation on PP1 was further examined by determining PP1 activity in cells pretreated with PMA. PP1 activity increased 38+/-8% in cells exposed to 1 microM PMA for 5 min. This stimulation was blocked by 100 n M staurosporine or 1 microM bisindolylmaleimide, two PKC inhibitors. An isomer which does not activate PKC (4 alpha phorbol didecanoate), did not stimulate PP1 activity. Thus PKC activation leads to an increase in PP1 activity in PE cells. Pretreatment of cells with the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor PHI 14-22 resulted in a partial reduction in calyculin A stimulation of cotransport, suggesting that PP1 and PKA function in a kinase-phosphatase regulatory loop. To determine whether other protein kinases might also be involved, several protein kinase inhibitors were tested, including KT5823 (protein kinase G, type II-specific), KN62 (calmodulin activated kinase-specific) and ML7 (myosin light chain kinase-specific). None prevented activation of Na-K-Cl cotransport by calyculin A, suggesting that these kinases are not involved in the activation of Na-K-Cl cotransport.

A tobacco cDNA (NtSLT1, for Nicotiana tabacum sodium- and lithium-tolerant) was isolated by functional complementation of the salt-sensitive phenotype of a calcineurin (CaN)-deficient yeast mutant (cnb delta, regulatory subunit null). CaN is a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent type 2B protein phosphatase that regulates Na+ homeostasis in yeast. This phosphatase modulates plasma membrane K+/Na+ selectivity through the activation of high-affinity K+ transport, and increaseses extracellular Na+ efflux by activation and transcriptional induction of the Na+/Li+ translocating P-type ATPase encoded by ENA1. Expression of N-terminally truncated NtSLT1 (Met-304), but not full-length protein, suppressed salt sensitivity of cnb1. Truncated NtSLT1 also increased salt tolerance of wild-type yeast, indicating functional sufficiency. NtSLT1 encodes a protein of yet unknown function but experimentation in yeast confirms it as a salt tolerance determinant. The Arabidopsis thaliana orthologue, AtSLT1, also suppressed salt sensitivity of cnb delta but only when expressed without the N-terminus (Met-301), suggesting that this region of the proteins from these evolutionarily diverse plant species contains an autoinhibitory domain. NtSLT1 enhanced transcription of the CaN-dependent ENA1 gene promoter and compensated the salt sensitivity of a mutant deficient in TCN1--a transcription factor that is activated by CaN and then induces ENA1 expression. NtSLT1 partially suppressed the salt sensitivity of ena1-4 indicating that NtSLT1 has both ENA-dependent and independent functions. NtSLT1 suppressed spk1 hal4 (SPK1/HAL4 which encodes a serine-threonine kinase that regulates TRK1-2 transporters to have high K+/Na+ selectivity) but not ena1-4 trk1-2 implicating the ENA-independent function to be through TRK1-2. Together, these results implicate SLT1 as a signal regulatory molecule that mediates salt tolerance by modulating Na+ homeostasis.

To clarify functions of the Mre11/Rad50 (MR) complex in DNA double-strand break repair, we report Pyrococcus furiosus Mre11 crystal structures, revealing a protein phosphatase-like, dimanganese binding domain capped by a unique domain controlling active site access. These structures unify Mre11's multiple nuclease activities in a single endo/exonuclease mechanism and reveal eukaryotic macromolecular interaction sites by mapping human and yeast Mre11 mutations. Furthermore, the structure of the P. furiosus Rad50 ABC-ATPase with its adjacent coiled-coil defines a compact Mre11/Rad50-ATPase complex and suggests that Rad50-ATP-driven conformational switching directly controls the Mre11 exonuclease. Electron microscopy, small angle X-ray scattering, and ultracentrifugation data of human and P. furiosus MR reveal a dual functional complex consisting of a (Mre11)2/(Rad50)2 heterotetrameric DNA processing head and a double coiled-coil linker.

The inhibition of myosin phosphatase evokes smooth muscle contraction in the absence of Ca(2+), yet the underlying mechanisms are not understood. To this end, we have cloned smooth muscle zipper-interacting protein (ZIP) kinase cDNA. ZIP kinase is present in various smooth muscle tissues including arteries. Triton X-100 skinning did not diminish ZIP kinase content, suggesting that ZIP kinase associates with the filamentous component in smooth muscle. Smooth muscle ZIP kinase phosphorylated smooth muscle myosin as well as the isolated 20-kDa myosin light chain in a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-independent manner. ZIP kinase phosphorylated myosin light chain at both Ser(19) and Thr(18) residues with the same rate constant. The actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin increased significantly following ZIP kinase-induced phosphorylation. Introduction of ZIP kinase into Triton X-100-permeabilized rabbit mesenteric artery provoked a Ca(2+)-free contraction. A protein phosphatase inhibitor, microcystin LR, also induced contraction in the absence of Ca(2+), which was accompanied by an increase in both mono- and diphosphorylation of myosin light chain. The observed sensitivity of the microcystin-induced contraction to various protein kinase inhibitors was identical to the sensitivity of isolated ZIP kinase to these inhibitors. These results suggest that ZIP kinase is responsible for Ca(2+) independent myosin phosphorylation and contraction in smooth muscle.

Sodium tolerance in yeast is enhanced by continuous activation of calcineurin, a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase that is required for modulation of the Na(+) efflux mechanism. We isolated several salt-tolerant mutations with the treatment of ethylmethane sulfonate under high salt stress. One of the mutations was mapped in the PMR1 gene. Pmr1p, the P-type Ca(2+)-ATPase in the Golgi apparatus, regulates a cytosolic Ca(2+) level in various responses. Cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration in the pmr1 mutant is highly maintained, and thus calcineurin is activated continuously. The treatment of FK506, a specific inhibitor of calcineurin, abolishes the salt-tolerant phenotype of the pmr1 mutant. Activated calcineurin induces the expression of PMR2, encoding the P-type Na(+)-ATPase, through the specific transcription factor, Tcn1p/Crz1p. Also, expression of the PMR2::lacZ reporter gene in the pmr1 mutant was higher than that in wild type. We propose that the pmr1 mutation confers salt tolerance through continuous activation of calcineurin and that Pmr1p might act as a major Ca(2+)-ATPase under high salt stress.

Gastric vesicles purified from acid-secreting rabbit stomach display K(+) permeability manifested by the valinomycin-independent proton pumping of H(+)-K(+)-ATPase as monitored by acridine orange quenching. This apparent K(+) permeability is attenuated by the treatment of the membrane with 5 mM Mg(2+), and this phenomenon has been attributed to membrane-bound phosphoprotein phosphatase. However, with the exception of the nonspecific inhibitor pyrophosphate, protein phosphatase inhibitors failed to inhibit the loss of K(+) permeability. Preincubation of the membrane with neomycin, a phospholipase C inhibitor, surrogated the effect of Mg(2+), whereas another inhibitor, U-73122, did not. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) restored the attenuated K(+) permeability by treatment with either Mg(2+) or neomycin. Furthermore, either phosphatidylinositol bound to phosphatidylinositol transfer protein or phosphatidylinositol 4,5,6-trisphosphate (PIP(3)) surrogated the effect of PIP(2). Mg(2+) and neomycin reduced K(+) permeability in the membrane as determined by Rb(+) influx and K(+)-dependent H(+) diffusion. Treatment with Mg(2+) reduced the contents of PIP(2) and PIP(3) in the membrane. These results suggest that PIP(2) and/or PIP(3) maintain K(+) permeability, which is essential for proton pumping in the apical membrane of the secreting parietal cell.

The effect of carbachol (Cch) on intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in eel enterocytes was examined using the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fura-2. Cch caused a biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i, with an initial spike followed by a progressively decreasing level (over 6 min) to the initial, pre-stimulated, level. The effect of Cch was dose-dependent with a 7.5-fold increase in [Ca2+]i over basal level induced by the maximal dose of Cch (100 microM). In Ca2+-free/EGTA buffer the effect of Cch was less pronounced and the [Ca2+]i returned rapidly to basal levels. The increment of [Ca2+]i was dose-dependently attenuated in cells pre-treated with U73122, a specific inhibitor of phospholipase C, suggesting that the Cch-stimulated increment of [Ca2+]i required inositol triphosphate formation. In the presence of extracellular Ca2+, thapsigargin (TG), a specific microsomal Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, caused a sustained rise in [Ca2+]i whereas in Ca2+-free medium the increase in [Ca2+]i was transient; in both cases, subsequent addition of Cch was without effect. When 2 mM CaCl2 were added to the cells stimulated with TG or with Cch in Ca2+-free medium, a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i was detected, corresponding to the capacitative Ca2+ entry. Thus, both TG and Cch depleted intracellular Ca2+ stores and stimulated influx of extracellular Ca2+ consistent with capacitative Ca2+ entry. K+ depolarization obtained with increasing concentrations of KCl in the extracellular medium induced a dose-related increase in [Ca2+]i which was blocked by 2 microM nifedipine, a non-specific L-type Ca2+ channel blocker. Nifedipine also changed significantly the height of the Ca2+ transient, and the rate of decrement to the pre-stimulated [Ca2+]i level, indicating that Ca2+ entry into enterocytes also occurs through an L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel pathway. We also show that isolated enterocytes stimulated with increasing Cch concentrations (0.1-1000 microM) showed a dose-dependent inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase activity. The threshold decrease was at 1 microM Cch; it reached a maximum at 100 microM (50.5% inhibition) and did not decrease further with the use of higher dose. The effect of Cch on Na+/K+-ATPase activity was dependent on both protein kinase C (PKC) and protein phosphatase calcineurin activation since the PKC inhibitor calphostin C abolished Cch effects, while the calcineurin inhibitor FK506 augmented Cch effect. Collectively, these data establish a functional pathway by which Cch can modulate the activity of the Na+/K+-ATPase through a PKC-dependent (calphostin C-sensitive) pathway and a calcineurin-dependent (FK506-sensitive) pathway.

The natriuretic hormone dopamine and the antinatriuretic hormone noradrenaline, acting on alpha-adrenergic receptors, have been shown to bidirectionally modulate the activity of renal tubular Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphate (ATPase). Here we have examined whether intracellular sodium concentration influences the effects of these bidirectional forces on the state of phosphorylation of Na+,K+-ATPase. Proximal tubules dissected from rat kidney were incubated with dopamine or the alpha-adrenergic agonist, oxymetazoline, and transiently permeabilized in a medium where sodium concentration ranged between 5 and 70 mM. The variations of sodium concentration in the medium had a proportional effect on intracellular sodium. Dopamine and protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylate the catalytic subunit of rat Na+,K+-ATPase on the Ser23 residue. The level of PKC induced Na+,K+-ATPase phosphorylation was determined using an antibody that only recognizes Na+,K+-ATPase, which is not phosphorylated on its PKC site. Under basal conditions Na+,K+-ATPase was predominantly in its phosphorylated state. When intracellular sodium was increased, Na+,K+-ATPase was predominantly in its dephosphorylated state. Phosphorylation of Na+,K+-ATPase by dopamine was most pronounced when intracellular sodium was high, and dephosphorylation by oxymetazoline was most pronounced when intracellular sodium was low. The oxymetazoline effect was mimicked by the calcium ionophore A23187. An inhibitor of the calcium-dependent protein phosphatase, calcineurin, increased the state of Na+,K+-ATPase phosphorylation. The results imply that phosphorylation of renal Na+,K+-ATPase activity is modulated by the level of intracellular sodium and that this effect involves PKC and calcium signalling pathways. The findings may have implication for the regulation of salt excretion and sodium homeostasis.

Elevated cAMP in NRK-52E and L6 cells causes a marked reduction in the phosphorylation of numerous phosphoproteins, as detected initially with phosphoserine-specific antibodies. Here, we show that elevation of cAMP in NRK cells by forskolin/3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) treatment decreased phosphorylation of substrates for different protein kinases, pointing to a common protein phosphatase as a target for cAMP-dependent regulation. Forskolin/IBMX treatment completely dephosphorylated a selective protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) substrate, elongation factor-2 (EF-2), at its Ca(2+) calmodulin-dependent kinase site, and decreased phosphorylation of substrates for cyclin-dependent kinases, including retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. As reported before, forskolin/IBMX also decreased phosphorylation of a protein kinase C substrate, the Na,K-ATPase. The cAMP-stimulated dephosphorylation was blocked by the protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and PP2A inhibitor okadaic acid at concentrations selective for PP2A but was not blocked by tautomycin at concentrations selective for PP1. The data implicate PP2A as a cAMP-activated phosphatase. Contrary to expectation, we found evidence that cAMP-dependent activation of PP2A did not depend on protein kinase A (PKA). Pretreatment of cells with the PKA inhibitor H89 abolished PKA activity measured in cell extracts and significantly decreased cAMP-activated phosphorylation of a known PKA substrate, ARPP-19, in cells, but failed to block the cAMP-stimulated dephosphorylation of EF-2, Rb, and other proteins. This novel pathway of PP2A activation, acting on the time scale of minutes, represents yet another example of a cAMP-mediated, PKA-independent signaling mechanism. Because PP2A is active toward a variety of endogenous substrates, cAMP-stimulated dephosphorylation may have complicated the interpretation of many prior studies.

Fusion of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) to the C-terminal of rat Na,K-ATPase a1-subunit is introduced as a novel procedure for visualizing trafficking of Na,K-pumps in living COS-1 renal cells in response to PKA or PKC stimulation. Stable, functional expression of the fluorescent chimera (Na,K-EGFP) was achieved in COS-1 cells using combined puromycin and ouabain selection procedures. Na,K-pump activities were unchanged after fusion with EGFP, both in basal and regulated states. In confocal laser scanning and fluorescence microscopes, the Na,K-EGFP chimera was distributed mainly along the plasma membrane of COS cells. In unstimulated COS cells, Na,K-EGFP was also present in lysosomes and in vesicles en route from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane, but it was almost absent from recycling endosomes labelled with fluorescent transferrin. After activation of protein kinase A or C, the density of co-localizing Na,K-EGFP and transferrin vesicles was increased 3-4-fold, while the ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake was reduced by 22%. Simultaneous activation of PKA and PKC had additive effects with a 6-fold increase of co-localization and a 38% reduction of 86Rb uptake. Responses of similar magnitude were seen after inhibition of protein phosphatase by okadaic acid. Reduction of the amount of Na,K-ATPase in surface plasma membranes through internalization in recycling endosomes may thus in part explain a decrease in Na,K-pump activity following protein kinase activation or protein phosphatase inhibition.
