In cardiac muscle, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) associated with the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is known to phosphorylate the membrane proteins phospholamban, Ca(2+)-ATPase, and Ca(2+)-release channel (ryanodine receptor). Phosphorylation of phospholamban and Ca(2+)-ATPase is recognized to stimulate Ca2+ sequestration by the SR but the functional consequence of Ca2+ channel phosphorylation has not been clearly established. In this study, we investigated the effects of the SR Ca(2+)-release inhibitor, ruthenium red (RR), and the SR Ca(2+)-release activator, ryanodine (at submicromolar concentrations), on CaM kinase-mediated phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-cycling proteins in rabbit cardiac SR. Incubation of SR with RR (5-30 microM) for 3 min at 37 degrees C resulted in marked (up to 85%) inhibition of Ca2+ channel phosphorylation (50% inhibition with 15 +/- 2 microM RR) by the endogenous membrane-associated CaM kinase. Phosphorylation of the Ca2+ channel by exogenously added multifunctional alpha CaM kinase II was also inhibited similarly by RR. Phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase by endogenous and exogenous CaM kinase was inhibited only modestly (25-30%) by RR, and phospholamban phosphorylation was unaffected by RR. The magnitude of RR-induced inhibition of Ca2+ channel phosphorylation did not differ appreciably at saturating or subsaturating concentrations of Ca2+ or calmodulin, and in the absence or presence of protein phosphatase inhibitors. In contrast to the effects of RR, low concentrations of ryanodine (0.25-1 microM) caused significant stimulation (up to approximately 50%) of Ca2+ channel phosphorylation but had no effect on Ca(2+)-ATPase and phospholamban phosphorylation. These findings suggest that interaction of RR with the ryanodine receptor induces a "nonphosphorylatable state" of the Ca(2+)-release channel, likely through a conformational change involving occlusion of the CaM kinase phosphorylation site. On the other hand, ryanodine binding to the receptor may serve to maintain an open, "phosphorylatable state" of the channel.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has at least three receptors (Y1, Y2, and Y3) through which it influences different mechanisms in many cell types. Previous data suggest that the Y2 receptor may be divided into prejunctional and postjunctional subgroups. We have examined the intracellular signalling pathways of the postjunctional Y2 receptor in rat renal proximal tubules. The results indicate that NPY regulates Na+,K(+)-ATPase through several signalling pathways: (1) In proximal tubule (PT) cells NPY increased intracellular calcium. The response was blocked by removing extracellular calcium and was also blocked by using nifedipine. This suggests that calcium was increased by influx from the extracellular space through L-type calcium channels. (2) NPY increased Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in PT segments and this effect was also blocked by nifedipine. CaMKII-Ala286[281-302] a blocker of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) inhibited the NPY-stimulated Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. This implies that increased intracellular calcium activates CaMKII which subsequently increases Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. CaMKII thus appear to act similar to what has been proposed for protein phosphatase 2B. (3) Calphostin C, an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), did not inhibit NPY-stimulated Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. PKC is, therefore, unlikely to be involved. (4) Y2 receptors are negatively coupled to the cAMP pathway. NPY attenuated forskolin-stimulated cAMP production in renal tubules and exogenous cAMP counteracted the NPY-stimulated Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. This illustrated the importance of NPY for the regulation of renal sodium handling. We also propose that the renal tubule cell is a good model for studying the function and mechanisms of postjunctional Y2 receptors.

The release of the vasoactive peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) is Ca2+ dependent after thrombin stimulation; however, little is known about the pathways involved. We studied the importance of Ca(2+)-dependent signal transduction pathways on preproET-1 mRNA induction in human endothelial cells. Thrombin-mediated preproET-1 mRNA induction was inhibited after clamping of cytosolic free CA2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. Chelation of extracellular Ca2+ with ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid also had a significant inhibitory effect on the induction of preproET-1 mRNA. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 induced constitutive as well as thrombin-stimulated preproET-1 mRNA expression. Mobilization of Ca2+ stores into the cytosol by inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-adenosinetriphosphatase with thapsigargin was effective also in inducing preproET-1 mRNA. Calmodulin antagonists W-7 and calmidazolium, as well as Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II inhibitor KN-62, significantly reduced thrombin-induced preproET-1 mRNA. Inhibition by cyclosporin A of the Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent phosphatase calcineurin potentiated constitutive preproET-1 mRNA. These data suggest that, in human endothelial cells, thrombin-mediated preproET-1 gene induction is regulated by a stimulatory Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II-dependent pathway.

In cardiac muscle, a membrane-associated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) phosphorylates the Ca(2+)-pumping ATPase in addition to its previously characterized substrates, phospholamban and Ca(2+)-release channel (ryanodine receptor). The phosphorylated amino acid in the Ca(2+)-ATPase has been identified as serine. Posphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase is rapid and is reversible by a membrane-associated protein phosphatase, Ca(2+)-ATPase purified from cardiac SR underwent phosphorylation by exogenous CaM kinase, and the phosphorylated enzyme displayed twofold greater catalytic activity without alteration in its Ca(2+)-sensitivity. The phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase was found to be isoform-specific in that the cardiac and slow-twitch skeletal muscle isoform (SERCA 2), but not the fast-twitch skeletal muscle isoform (SERCA 1), underwent phosphorylation by CaM kinase. Studies using SERCA 1 and SERCA 2 isoforms and their mutants expressed in a heterelogous cell system have resulted in i) confirmation of the isoform specificity of Ca(2+)-ATPase phosphorylation by CaM kinase, ii) identification of Ser38 as the site in SERCA 2 phosphorylated by CaM kinase, and iii) demonstration of phosphorylation-induced increase in Vmax of Ca2+ transport by the SERCA 2 enzyme. These observations suggest that in cardiac and slow-twitch skeletal muscle direct phosphorylation of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase by the membrane-bound CaM kinase may serve to stimulate Ca2+ sequestration and therefore, the speed of muscle relaxation.

Na+-K+ ATPase is known to be involved in the transport of sodium and potassium across the cell membrane. We describe here a novel mechanism for the regulation of cardiac Na+-K+ ATPase through phosphorylation by a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) present in the sarcolemmal membrane. Incubation of cardiac sarcolemma in the presence of Ca2+ and calmodulin resulted in phosphorylation of a 110 kDa protein, identified as the alpha-subunit of Na+-K+ ATPase. The compound W-7, a potent inhibitor of calmodulin, caused significant inhibition of the CaM kinase-mediated phosphorylation while ouabain, a potent inhibitor of Na+-K+ ATPase, had no effect. Furthermore, phosphorylation of the sarcolemmal membrane with Ca2+/calmodulin caused significant reduction in the activity of Na+-K+ ATPase. These results suggest that phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit of Na+-K+ ATPase by an endogenous CaM kinase may lead to an inhibition of its catalytic activity.

Despite their important role in controlling the cardiac Ca2+ homeostasis, presence and functions of individual isoforms of the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase in the heart are not well studied. Here we report on expression of isoforms of the delta class in two differentiation states of the embryonic rat heart-derived cell line H9c2 compared to adult rat heart. Reverse transcription coupled polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed specific expression patterns of four variants of the delta class (delta B, delta C, delta 4, delta 9) in adult rat heart, H9c2 myoblasts, and skeletal muscle-like H9c2 myotubes. delta C was identified as a common isoform with higher amounts in H9c2 cells and the prominent one in myoblasts. In contrast, expression of delta 9 accompanied cardiac as well as skeletal muscle differentiation. Expression of delta B, however, was representative for differentiated cardiac muscle, whereas delta 4 expression coincided with differentiation into the skeletal muscle-like state. Our results demonstrate differentiation-dependent isoform expression of the delta class of the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase of muscle. The identification of cardiac target proteins for this kinase, e.g. the alpha 1-subunit of the L-type Ca2+ channel, the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, phospholamban and the ryanodine receptor define H9c2 myoblasts as a suitable model system for further functional characterization of the identified cardiac delta isoforms.

Increases in heart rate are accompanied by acceleration of relaxation. This effect is apparent at the single myocyte level and depends on sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca transport and Ca/calmodulin dependent protein kinase [CaMKII; see R. A. Bassani, A. Mattiazzi, and D. M. Bers. Am. J. Physiol. 268 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 37): H703-H712, 1995]. Because phosphorylation of phospholamban (PLB) by CaMKII can stimulate SR Ca transport, it is a plausible candidate mechanism. We examined this issue using ventricular myocytes isolated from wild-type (WT) mice and those in which the PLB gene was ablated by gene targeting (PLB-KO). During steady-state (SS) stimulation, twitch relaxation and intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca]i) decline were significantly faster than after a rest in both WT and PLB-KO myocytes. Furthermore, the CaMKII inhibitor KN-93 (1 microM) abolished the stimulation-dependent acceleration of twitch [Ca]i decline in PLB-KO. This indicates that neither PLB nor its phosphorylation are required for the CaMKII-dependent acceleration of the SS twitch [Ca]i decline and relaxation. Other quantitative aspects of Ca transport in WT and PLB-KO myocytes were also examined. As expected, the time constant (tau) of [Ca]i decline during the SS twitch is much faster in PLB-KO than in WT myocytes (112 +/- 6 vs. 188 +/- 14 ms, P < 0.0001). There was also an increase in SS SR Ca load, based on the change of [Ca]i during rapid caffeine-induced contractures (CafC) with Na/Ca exchange blocked (565 +/- 74 nM for WT, 1118 +/- 133 nM for PLB-KO, P < 0.01). Accounting for cytosolic Ca buffering, this implies a 37% increase in SR Ca content. The tau for [Ca]i decline of the cafC with Na present indicated slower extrusion by Na/Ca exchange in the PLB-KO mouse (2.2 +/- 0.2 s in WT vs. 3.2 +/- 0.2 in PLB-KO, P < 0.01), although exchanger protein expression was unchanged. Integrated Ca flux analysis in WT and PLB-KO myocytes, respectively, shows that 90 and 96% of Ca during twitch relaxation is removed by the SR Ca-ATPase, 9 and 3.4% by Na/Ca exchange, and 0.5 and 0.1% by slow mechanisms (mitochondria Ca uniporter and sarcolemmal Ca-ATPase). We conclude that the PLB-KO myocytes retain a CaMKII-dependent acceleration of SS twitch [Ca]i decline. The PLB-KO (vs. WT) myocytes also have higher SR Ca pump activity, higher SR Ca load, and reduced Na/Ca exchange activity.

A possible mechanism of aging-induced increase in brain microsomal Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of rats was investigated. Calcium content in the brain tissues and Ca2+-ATPase activity in the brain microsomes of aging rats (50 weeks of age) increased significantly as compared with those of young rats (5 weeks of age). Brain microsomal Ca2+-ATPase activity in aging rats was decreased significantly by treatment of ethyleneglycol-bis-(aminoethylether) N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) (2.7 mM) or digitonin (10(-3)%), while such decrease was not seen in the enzyme activity of young rats. Microsomal Ca2+-ATPase activity in aging rats was markedly decreased by the presence of staurosporine (10(-8) and 10(-7) M), an inhibitor of protein kinase C, in the enzyme reaction mixture, although the enzyme activity of young rats was not inhibited. Meanwhile, dibucaine (10(-6) and 10(-5) M), an inhibitor of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, did not have an effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity in the brain microsomes of young and aging rats. The addition of protein kinase C (100 and 200 mU/ml) in the reaction mixture caused a significant increase in brain microsomal Ca2+-ATPase activity of young rats. These results suggest that protein kinase C is partly involved in the elevation of brain microsomal Ca2+-ATPase activity in rats with increasing ages.

Using SK-N-SH cells, we observe that muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activation by methacholine (MCh) rapidly and selectively diminishes l-NE transport capacity (Vmax) with little or no change in norepinephrine (NE) Km and without apparent effects on membrane potential monitored directly under current clamp. Over the same time frame, MCh exposure reduces the density of [3H]nisoxetine binding sites (Bmax) in intact cells but not in total membrane fractions, consistent with a loss of transport capacity mediated by sequestration of transporters rather than changes in intrinsic transport activity or protein degradation. Similar changes in NE transport and [3H]nisoxetine binding capacity are observed after phorbol ester (beta-PMA) treatment. Inhibition of PKC by antagonists and downregulation of PKC by chronic treatment with phorbol esters abolishes beta-PMA-mediated effects but produce only a partial blockade of MCh-induced effects. Neither muscarinic acetylcholine receptor nor PKC activation require extracellular Ca++ to diminish NET activity. In contrast, treatment of cells with the Ca++/ATPase antagonist, thapsigargin in Ca++-free medium, eliminates the staurosporine-insensitive component of MCh regulation. These findings were further corroborated by the ability of [1, 2-bis(o-amino-phenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetra(acetoxymethyl)ester application in Ca++-free medium to abolish NET regulation by MCh. Although they may contribute to basal NET expression, we could not implicate CaMKII-, PKA- or nitric oxide-linked pathways in MCh regulation. Together, these findings 1) provide evidence in support of G-protein coupled receptor-mediated regulation of catecholamine transport, 2) reveal intracellular Ca++-sensitive, PKC-dependent and -independent pathways that serve to regulate NET expression and 3) indicate that the diminished capacity for NE transport evident after mAChR and PKC activation involves a redistribution of NET protein.

A smooth membrane system consisting of subsurface cisternae (SSC) underlies the lateral plasmalemma of auditory outer hair cells (OHCs). The SSC contain Ca-ATPase and are regarded as an intracellular Ca2+ reservoir like the sarcoplasmic reticulum of myocytes. Recently, it has been demonstrated that Ca-ATPase activity in sarcoplasmic reticulum is regulated by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaM kinases). Here we investigated the presence of CaM kinases in OHCs and their possible association with the SSC. Inner ears collected from adult gerbils and from neonates at 2-day intervals between 0 and 20 days after birth were immunostained with antibodies specific for different CaM kinases. A polyclonal antiserum against CaM kinase IV yielded a strong immunostaining reaction along the lateral wall of OHCs. The staining appeared after the tenth postnatal day and continued into adulthood. No other site in the inner ear, including cochlear inner hair cells and vestibular hair cells, was reactive. The kinase's apparent association with the SSC strongly supports its involvement in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis and suggests a role in regulating the OHCs' slow motile responses.
