Mouse peritoneal macrophages have a phospholipase A2 activity which is optimally active at pH 8.5 (PLA8.5), requires 2 mM Ca2+ and is capable of hydrolyzing arachidonic acid from phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The specific activity of PLA8.5 can be greatly increased in macrophage sonicates by their incubation at 37 degrees C. This augmentation of PLA8.5 activity occurs maximally at pH 7.5, requires Ca2+, and is inhibited by ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N',-tetraacetic acid and EDTA. The sulfhydryl-specific reagents N-ethylmaleimide and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate inhibit PLA8.5 activation but have no effect on the fully activated PLA8.5 enzyme itself. PLA8.5 activation is also augmented by ATP and is inhibited by pretreatment of the sonicates with ATPase and by beta-gamma-methylene ATP. The addition of the catalytic subunit of bovine heart cAMP-dependent protein kinase to macrophage sonicates in the presence of 1 mM reduced glutathione augments PLA8.5 activation. These data suggest that a protein kinase may be involved in the activation of PLA8.5 in mouse macrophage sonicates.

The underlying mechanism of Ca2+ uptake function of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was investigated in the rat septic shock model produced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The results are as follows. During the early phase of sepsis, the initial rate of ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake by SR was decreased, while both the capacity of Ca2+ uptake and the activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase were unaffected. In the late sepsis, the impairment in SR function was even greater as the initial rate and the capacity of Ca2+ uptake by SR were significantly decreased, and this was paralleled by a reduction in Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. Although Ca2+ affinity (Km value) to calcium pump and the A0.5 values for Mg2+ and ATP activation on the Ca2+ uptake rate were unchanged, during sepsis the phosphorylation of SR vesicles by adding of catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), calmodulin, or the fragment of PKC into Ca2+ uptake buffer, failed to stimulate Ca2+ uptake activities of SR isolated from early or late septic rats. These data suggest that depression of cardiac SR function is aggravated as sepsis develops, the impairment of SR Ca2+ uptake is possibly based on a mechanism of defective phosphorylation of SR rather than the ionic and energic regulatory actions of Ca2+, Mg2+, ATP on cardiac SR.

Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphoprotein phosphatase (calcineurin, PP2B) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is implicated in adaptation to high-salt conditions. Calcineurin mediates high salt-induced expression of the ENA1/PMR2 gene encoding the P-type ATPase, which is suggested to be involved in Na+ efflux. We identified the PDE1 gene encoding the low-affinity cAMP phosphodiesterase as a multicopy suppressor of the Li(+)- and Na(+)-sensitive calcineurin null mutant, suggesting that cAMP is a negative regulator of adaptation to high-salt stress. Genetic analysis indicated that calcineurin and cAMP act antagonistically in a common pathway for adaptation. The bcy1 disruption, which leads to constitutive cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity inhibited high NaCl-induced expression of the ENA1/PMR2 gene, caused an elevation of the intracellular Na+ level and a growth defect in high-NaCl medium, all of which were analogous to the defects of a calcineurin mutant. A reduced cAMP level resulting from multiple copies of the PDE1 gene caused increased expression of the ENA1/PMR2 gene in response to high NaCl. We propose a model for the regulation of cation homeostasis, in which calcineurin antagonizes PKA to activate transcription of the ENA1/PMR2 gene in response to high-salt conditions.

Phosphorylation of purified Na+,K(+)-ATPase by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) decreases the activity of this enzyme. We have now shown, using several experimental approaches, that a highly conserved seryl residue on the catalytic (alpha) subunit of Na+,K(+)-ATPase, corresponding to Ser943 of the rat alpha 1 isoform, is the phosphorylation site for protein kinase A. cDNAs corresponding to wild-type Na+,K(+)-ATPase and Na+,K(+)-ATPase in which Ser943 was mutated to Ala were transfected into COS cells. Treatment of the transfected cells with forskolin plus 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine resulted in a decrease in the activity of the wild-type enzyme but not in that of the mutated enzyme. The results suggest that, in intact cells, the activity of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase is regulated in part by signal transduction pathways that use protein kinase A-dependent phosphorylation of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha subunit.

In both cardiac and slow-twitch skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) there are several systems involved in the regulation of Ca(2+)-ATPase function. These include substrate level regulation, covalent modification via phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of phospholamban by both cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) as well as direct CaM kinase phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase. Studies comparing the effects of PKA and CaM kinase on cardiac Ca(2+)-ATPase function have yielded differing results; similar studies have not been performed in slow-twitch skeletal muscle. It has been suggested recently, however, that phospholamban is not tightly coupled to the Ca(2+)-ATPase in SR vesicles from slow-twitch skeletal muscle. Our results indicate that assay conditions strongly influence the extent of CaM kinase-dependent Ca(2+)-ATPase stimulation seen in both cardiac and slow-twitch skeletal muscle. Addition of calmodulin (0.2 microM) directly to the Ca2+ transport assay medium results in minimal (approximately 112-130% of control) stimulation of Ca2+ uptake activity when the Ca2+ uptake reaction is initiated by the addition or either ATP or Ca2+/EGTA. On the other hand, prephosphorylation of the SR by the endogenous CaM kinase and subsequent transfer of the membranes to the Ca2+ transport assay medium results in stimulation of Ca2+ uptake activity (202% of control). These effects are observable in both cardiac and slow-twitch skeletal muscle SR. PKA stimulates Ca2+ uptake markedly (215% of control) when the Ca2+ uptake reaction is initiated by the addition of prephosphorylated SR membranes or by Ca2+/EGTA but minimally (130% of control) when the Ca2+ uptake reaction is initiated by the addition of ATP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Phospholamban is a putative suppressor of the Ca2+ ATPase of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. The level of mRNA encoding the Ca2+ ATPase has been shown to be increased, whereas the phospholamban mRNA level to be decreased in the ventricles obtained from hyperthyroid rabbits [Nagai R, Zarain-Herzberg A. Brandl CJ, Fujii J. Tada M. MacLennan DH, Alpert NR, Periasamy M. (1989) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86: 2966-2970]. The present study was designed to examine whether these effects of thyroid hormone on the expression of the Ca2+ ATPase and phospholamban are exerted directly on cardiac myocytes and whether the resultant incoordinate expression of these proteins alters Ca2+ pumping activity. We studied the levels of phospholamban and Ca2+ ATPase mRNA in primary isolated neonatal rat myocardial cells incubated with triiodothyronine (T3) for 3-48 h and the Ca2+ uptake activity of the microsomes prepared from the cells. Northern blot analysis showed that T3 decreased phospholamban mRNA levels to about a half of control in 24 h. On the other hand, Ca2+ ATPase mRNA gradually increased with time. EC50 for phospholamban mRNA expression was 2.5 x 10(-10) M which was approximately 10 times higher than that for the Ca2+ ATPase. T3 increased Vmax of Ca2+ uptake with the significant reduction of K0.5 for Ca2+ (0.40 +/- 0.02 microM for control v 0.31 +/- 0.02 microM for T3-treated vesicles), indicating that thyroid hormone stimulates Ca2+ pumping activity not only by increasing the Ca2+ ATPase but also decreasing phospholamban. These results suggested that phospholamban regulates the Ca2+ ATPase in dual modes; in short time range, by decreasing the affinity of the Ca2+ ATPase for Ca2+ by phosphorylation of phospholamban with cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and in long time range, by changing the molecular ratio between the two proteins through the regulation of gene expression.

Phospholamban is a negative regulator of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-pumping ATPase. Phosphorylation of phospholamban activates the ATPase and decreases the level of cytosolic calcium. Phospholamban is phosphorylated in heart by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CM-kinase-II) and in smooth muscle cells by cGMP-dependent protein kinase. In contrast to heart muscle, phospholamban is poorly phosphorylated by CM-kinase-II in extracts of rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Rat aorta phospholamban amino acid sequence was identical to dog heart. The peptide substrate specificity of CM-kinase-II from rat aorta was the same as that from rat heart. The lack of phosphorylation of rat aorta phospholamban by the CM-kinase-II appears to result from the relatively low abundance of phospholamban in smooth muscle.

We have demonstrated recently that in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), a membrane-associated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) phosphorylates and activates the Ca(2+)-pumping ATPase (Ca(2+)-ATPase) in addition to phosphorylating the previously characterized substrates, phospholamban, and Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor) (Xu, A., Hawkins, C., and Narayanan, N. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 8394-8397). The present study shows that a CaM kinase regulatory system capable of modulating SR Ca2+ pump activity through direct phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase is functional in slow twitch but not fast twitch skeletal muscle. Incubation of SR vesicles isolated from rabbit slow twitch (soleus) and fast twitch (adductor magnus) skeletal muscles in the presence of Ca2+ and calmodulin resulted in phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase in slow twitch muscle SR but not in fast twitch muscle SR. Exogenous CaM kinase II, which stimulated phosphorylation of the cardiac and slow twitch muscle SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, failed to phosphorylate fast twitch muscle SR Ca(2+)-ATPase. These observations demonstrate that CaM kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of the Ca2+ pump is isoform-specific since heart and slow twitch muscle express the same Ca(2+)-ATPase isoform (SERCA2a), which is distinct from that of fast twitch muscle (SERCA1). As in the case of cardiac SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, phosphorylation of the slow twitch muscle SR Ca(2+)-ATPase (occurring at a serine residue) resulted in a 2-fold increase in catalytic activity of the enzyme without alteration in its Ca2+ sensitivity. In addition, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent prephosphorylation of slow twitch muscle SR resulted in a greater than 2-fold increase in its Ca2+ transport activity. In both cardiac and slow twitch muscle SR, phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase by the endogenous CaM kinase occurred rapidly (maximum within 2 min at 37 degrees C), had similar pH optimum (8.5-9.0), temperature optimum (30 degrees C), and calmodulin concentration-dependence (k0.5 50-60 nM). cAMP-dependent protein kinase did not phosphorylate the Ca(2+)-ATPase appreciably in either cardiac or slow twitch muscle SR. These findings suggest a muscle-specific role for the membrane-associated CaM kinase in the modulation of Ca2+ uptake and release functions of the SR. In cardiac and slow twitch muscle, phosphorylation of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase by CaM kinase might provide a novel mechanism for the modulation of the enzymatic and Ca2+ transport functions of this enzyme.

Second messenger regulation of IRK1 (Kir2.1) inward rectifier K+ channels was investigated in giant inside-out patches from Xenopus oocytes. Kir2.1-mediated currents that run down completely within minutes upon excision of the patches could be partly restored by application of Mg-ATP together with > 10 microM free Mg2+ to the cytoplasmic side of the patch. As restoration could not be induced by the ATP analogs AMP-PNP or ATP gamma S, this suggests an ATPase-like mechanism. In addition to ATP, the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) induced an increase in current amplitude, which could, however, only be observed if channels were previously or subsequently stimulated by Mg-ATP and free Mg2+. This indicates that functional activity of Kir2.1 channels requires both phosphorylation by PKA and ATP hydrolysis. Moreover, currents could be down-regulated by N-heptyl-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide, a specific stimulator of protein kinase C (PKC), suggesting that PKA and PKC mediate inverse effects on Kir2.1 channels. Regulation of Kir2.1 channels described here may be an important mechanism for regulation of excitability.

To elucidate the mechanism of Na+ retention by insulin in vivo, the direct tubular effect of insulin on NaCl transport in the in vitro microperfused medullary thick ascending limb of Henle (MTAL) was examined. Insulin at 10(-6) mol/l in the bath increased transepithelial voltage (Vte) from 3.1 +/- 0.3 to 5.7 +/- 0.3 mV (n = 12, P < 0.0001). The effect of insulin on Vte was dependent on its concentration, and the half-maximal effect of insulin was observed at 5 x 10(-9) mol/l. Insulin at 10(-6) mol/l also caused a significant decrease of luminal Cl- concentration from 85.4 +/- 5.0 to 62.8 +/- 3.0 mmol/l (n = 5, P < 0.002) when the lumen was microperfused constantly at less than 1 nl/min. Insulin at 10(-6) mol/l also increased net lumen-to-bath Cl- flux (JCl) from 143 +/- 15 to 292 +/- 37 pmol.mm-1.min-1 (n = 5, P < 0.004). When the Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase) in the basolateral membrane was blocked by 10(-4) mol/l ouabain, the insulin-mediated increase in Vte was completely suppressed. When the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransporter in the luminal membrane of the MTAL was blocked by 10(-4) mol/l furosemide, the insulin-mediated increase in Vte was also abolished. To test whether adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) contributes to the action of insulin, we examined the effect of cAMP analogue and cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor on the action of insulin. A maximal concentration (5 x 10(-4) mol/l) of dibutyryl-cAMP (DBcAMP) increased Vte and JCl.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
