A manyfold increase in phosphorylation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was seen when SR was incubated in the presence of a bovine cardiac cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and cyclic AMP. This phosphoprotein had stability characteristics of a phosphoester in which the phosphate is incorporated largely into serine, and its formation did not required calcium ions, unlike the formation of acyl phosphoprotein intermediate of calcium-transport ATPase which is present within the same membrane. When examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the protein kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation occurred at a 22,000-dalton component of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. This 22,000-dalton protein has been named "phospholamban" (lambda alpha mu beta alpha nu epsilon iota nu = to receive), based on its ability to receive phosphate from ATP. Phosphorylation of phospholamban by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was associated with the stimulation of calcium transport by the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. This stimulation was accompanied by an increase in the calcium-activated ATPase activity, indicating that the overall rate of calcium transport rather than its efficiency is enhanced by protein kinase. The 22,000-dalton phopholamban was susceptible to trypsin. Brief digestion with trypsin in the presence of 1 M sucrose prevented subsequent phosphorylation of phospholamban, while leaving the calcium pump apparently intact. Incubation of trypsin-treated sarcoplasmic reticulum with cyclic AMP-depentent protein kinase did not result in the stimulation of calcium transport. These results may suggest that phospholamban is a modulator of the calcium pump of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.

It is determined that ortho- and n-nitrophenol introduced into the stomach (0.80 and 0.11 g/kg, respectively) inhibit the activity of cytochrome oxydase (by 21% at an average), cause an increase in the content of NADH (by 35 and 27%) and a decrease in ATP (by 38 and 36%, respectively), split the oxidation and phosphorylation processes in the rat liver tissue. The content of NAD+, AMP and ADP, lactate, the activity of K+, Na+-ATPase and lactate dehydrogenase do not change.

Ca-stimulated ATPase activity has been demonstrated in homogenates of mouse pancreatic islets. On subcellular fractionation Ca-ATPase activity was found in secretory granules, mitochondria, and microsomes, but not in the postmicrosomal fractions. Highest specific activity was found in the granules. In all active subcellular fractions two Km(Ca) values for Ca-ATPase around 7.0 X 10(-6) and 1.8 X 10(-7) M were estimated. Assuming an ATP hydrolysis:Ca pumping ratio of 1:2, the highest capacity for active Ca transport was found in secretory granules and mitochondria. Concentrations of 40 mM or higher of Na and 10(-5) M cyclic AMP inhibited Ca-ATPase in all subfractions. Caffeine at a concentration of 10 mM inhibited Ca-ATPase significantly in secretory granules and microsomes. Also MG-ATPase activity was demonstrated in the various subfractions. This activity was compared with that of Ca-ATPase at identical concentrations of free metal ions and in the absence or presence of various inhibitors. It was concluded that high-affinity Ca-ATPase and Mg-ATPase are two different enzymic entities. Ca-ATPase may tentatively be assumed to participate in active transport of Ca between intracellular compartments and to constitute a Ca-accumulating system which returns the cytosolic free Ca concentration to the resting state after stimulation of the beta-cells by secretagogues. This enzyme may therefore play a significant role in regulation of insulin release.

Because the mechanism whereby Shigella dysenteriae I enterotoxin induces intestinal secretion is unclear, the effect of this toxin on adenylate cyclase activity in rabbit ileal mucosa was studied under various in vitro and in vivo conditions. Activation of adenylate cyclase by Shigella enterotoxin was observed only when substrate (ATP) concentrations above the Km of adenylate cyclase were employed. These concentrations of ATP are greater than those required to demonstrate activation of adenylate cyclase by cholera toxin. Under optimal assay conditions, doses of Shigella toxin between 5.4 and 900 mug of toxin protein and in vivo incubation times between 6 and 18 hr all increased adenylate cyclase activity by about 100%. Shigella toxin produced significant but highly variable increases in mucosal cyclic AMP concentrations, which were less that the rises seen with a comparable dose of cholera toxin. This variability in cyclic AMP response to Shigella toxin and the disparity between Shigella and cholera toxins' effects on mucosal cyclic AMP are probably the result of the different kinetics of adenylate cyclase activated by these enterotoxins. Mucosal Na-K-ATPase activity was unaffected by Shigella toxin. These observations suggest that alterations in fluid and electrolyte transport induced by Shigella enterotoxin may, in part, be mediated by the adenylate cyclase-cyclic AMP system.

Sarcolemmal membranes isolated from guinea pig heart ventricles contained an ATP-dependent calcium-sequestering activity. Sarcolemmal calcium accumulation but not binding was enhanced by preincubation of membranes with exogenous protein kinase, with cyclic AMP, or with isoproterenol. Protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) increased the V of Ca2+ accumulation by sarcolemma without any significant effect on the affinity for Ca2+. The endogenous protein kinase activity present in isolated sarcolemma affected membrane phosphorylation. Cyclic AMP increased the endogenous kinase activity modestly, whereas histone increased it significantly. Exogenous protein kinase also catalyzed phosphorylation of these membranes. Endogenous and exogenous kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of sarcolemma was hydroxylamine-insensitive. Ca2+-dependent ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) (extra ATPase) activity of sarcolemma was also increased by protein kinase.

The use of polyethyleneimine-cellulose thin layer sheets to follow the phosphorylation of histone and decomposition of ATP catalyzed by an adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-stimulated protein kinase, protein kinase I, has made possible a more detailed analysis of the time course of these reactions than has been achieved previously be observing only recovered phosphorylated protein. When [gamma-32P] ATP was employed, significant error was introduced by the presence of 32Pi at the solvent front on these sheets, and this limited the accuracy of the available information. However, the analysis of assays performed with [U-14C] ATP was straightforward and appeared to have an accuracy comparable to that of the present standard assay. This appears to be the first use of [U-14C] ATP to assay protein kinases. Our physical characterization of protein kinase I showed it to be a homogeneous protein species by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis and analytical ultracentrifugation. Kinetic studies with protein kinase I indicated the absence of histone phosphatase and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity. Furthermore, the ATPase activity seen is believed to be intimately associated with the protein kinase action, particularly in view of the observed dependence of the rate of Pi production on the presence of cyclic AMP. The kinetic data for the phosphorylation of histone catalyzed by protein kinase I under full stimulation by cyclic AMP are consistent with a double displacement mechanism.

Protein kinase activity was determined in subcellular fractions of rat testis interstitial tissue after incubation of the intact tissue with LH (luteinizing hormone) in vitro. Various factors that might have changed the activity of this enzyme during preparation of the fractions before assay were also investigated. The following results were obtained. 1. LH and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (a phosphodiesterase inhibitor) added together during incubation of the interstitial tissue caused a twofold increase in the protein kinase activity in the total tissue homogenate and subcellular fractions (12000g X 5 min pellet and 105000g X 60 min supernatant and pellet). 2. A decrease of approx. 40% in the total amount of protein kinase recovered in the soluble fraction (105000g supernatant) occurred in tissue incubated with LH and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine when compared with the controls. No change in total activity was found in the other fractions. 3. LH and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine caused an increase in cyclic AMP concentration in the soluble fraction (from 30 +/- 6 to 450 +/- 40 pmol/mg of protein, means +/- S.E.M., n = 4), but there was little or no increase in the particulate fractions [from 9 +/- 1 to 13 +/- 3 pmol/mg of protein (n = 3) and from 6 +/- 2 to 23 +/- 11 pmol/mg of protein (n = 3) in the 12000g and 105000g pellets respectively]. 4 Addition of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine alone had little effect on protein kinase activity or cyclic AMP concentrations. 5. Little or no protein kinase activity could be demonstrated in subcellular particulate fractions unless Triton X-100 was added; the effect of this detergent was shown to be at least partly due to the inhibition of adenosine triphosphatase activity. 6. In the presence of Triton X-100 approx. 57% of the total protein kinase activity in the homogenate was found in the 105000g supernatant compared with 11% in the 105000g pellet and 32% in the 12000g pellet. 7. In contrast with adipose-tissue protein kinase [Corbin et al. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 1813-1821] the relative amounts of cyclic AMP-dependent and -dependent enzyme were not affected by dilution of the interstitial-tissue fractions. NaCl (0.5 M) decreased the estimated total amount of protein kinase activity.

1. Extracts of several plant species contained nucleoside-AMP phosphotransferase activity. The ratio of activity with thymidine to that with uridine as nucleoside substrate was essentially constant, both between species and throughout plant development. Evidence is presented that the total thymidine-AMP phosphotransferase activity of the leaves of Asplenium nidus (bird's-nest fern) and of Helianthus tuberosus (Jerusalem artichoke) increases during maturation. 2. Thymidine-AMP phosphotransferase was purified 22-fold from a very rich source of this activity, extracts of A. nidus. 3. A broad specificity towards both nucleoside and nucleoside 5'-monophosphate substrates is displayed by this preparation, and the evidence suggests that all could be due to a single enzyme. 4. Nucleosides that act as substrates will also inhibit phosphotransfer to other nucleosides, with Ki values close to the corresponding Km values found when utilized as substrates. 5. Ca2+-activated ATP phosphohydrolase was separated from the phosphotransferase by differential complexing to Blue Dextran in the presence of urea, whereas an AMP phosphohydrolase activity was closely associated with thymidine-AMP phosphotransferase through all separation techniques used. 6. Metal ions did not activate either of the latter two activities, and 1,10-phenanthroline was found to inhibit the phosphotransferase. 7. Km values for AMP for the respective activities were 0.11 mM (thymidine phosphotransferase) and 0.20 mM (AMP phosphohydrolase) and for thymidine (phosphotransferase only) 0.88 mM. 8. 3':5'-Cyclic AMP was found to inhibit both phosphotransferase and AMP phosphohydrolase activities, with Ki values of 0.056 mM and 0.15 mM respectively. It is suggested that this inhibitor would be of value in revealing the existence of thymidine kinase in plant extracts with high thymidine phosphotransferase activity.

The purpose of this study was to try to differentiate histochemically between the various enzymes which may catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in developing rat dental tissues. Freeze cut and freeze dried sections of molar and incisor teeth were incubated in lead capture-based media at pH 5.0, 7.2 or 9.4 with one of the following substrates: beta-glycerophosphate, AMP, ADP, ATP, AMP-PNP and tetrasodium pyrophosphate. To establish the enzymatic nature of the hydrolysis parallel sections were incubated after prior fixation in either formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde. By comparing the enzymatic stainings obtained with the various substrates and at the different pH:s, it was concluded that ATP can be visibly hydrolyzed in rat dental tissues by alkaline phosphatase (stratum intermedium, apical part of maturation ameloblasts, basal part of all ameloblasts, odontoblasts and subodontoblastic layer), specific ATPase (apical and basal parts of secretory ameloblasts) and ATP pyrophosphatase and/or adenylate cyclase (stratum intermedium, odontoblasts). Acid phosphatase, specific ADPase, 5'-nucleotidase, inorganic pyrophosphatase, 3':5'-cyclic-AMP-phosphodiesterase and adenylate kinase on the other hand, seem not to be engaged in the ATP hydrolysis to such a degree as to complicate the interpretation of the histochemical staining. The alkaline phosphatase part of the ATP hydrolysis appeared to be rather insensitive to aldehyde fixation, while the hydrolysis effected by specific ATPase and ATP pyrophosphatase and/or adenylate cyclase was extinguished after fixation with formaldehyde for 4 h or glutaraldehyde for 10 min.

1. Calcium-stimulated ATPase activity was studied in a plasma membrane rich fraction of rat pancreas homogenate. 2. The enzyme is stimulated to the same maximum rate of ATP hydrolysis by either calcium or magnesium, but the apparent requirement for calcium is five-fold lower than for magnesium. 3. Maximum hydrolytic activity of the enzyme is not increased when additional magnesium is added to the optimal amount of calcium. 4. The enzyme does not require Na+ or K+ for its activation by Ca2+ and is not inhibited by ouabain or 2,4-dinitrophenol. 5. Pancreozymin, in concentrations which evoke secretion of zymogen protein, inhibits the calcium-stimulated ATPase. 6. Carbachol and dibutyryl cyclic AMP, in concentrations which increase the release of digestive proteins, do not alter the activity of the calcium-stimulated enzyme. 7. It is suggested that the plasma membrane calcium-activated enzyme, is not involved in the active calcium extrusion, previously reported to occur with use of the various pancreatic secretagogues tested.
