The increased rate of Ca2+ uptake and ATPase activity in isolated cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) by adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) has been shown to be activated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP kinase). Functionally skinned myocardial fiber preparations were used to study the mechanisms of cAMP action on the SR at the same time that tension was monitored. cAMP effects were studied on Ca2+ -activated tension of the contractile proteins, and on Ca2+ uptake and release from the SR using caffeine-induced tension transients. Neither cyclic AMP (0.1-5 microM) nor the catalytic subunit of cAMP kinase (0.1-1 microM) (PK-C) significantly changed either the maximal or the submaximal Ca2+ -activated tension. The areas of the tension transients were unchanged when cAMP was present in the releasing solution (release phase), and were significantly increased up to a mean of about 80% when cAMP or PK-C was present in the Ca2+ loading solutions (uptake phase). The increased tension transient was blocked by heat-stable inhibitor of cAMP kinase. We conclude that cAMP-induced increases in Ca2+ uptake by the SR could play an important role in the positive inotropic effect. cAMP kinase could thus play a crucial role in the regulation of myocardial contractility.

Na+, K+-ATPase activity of homogenates prepared from cauda epididymal golden hamster sperm increased after the addition of cGMP (50 microM), monobutyryl cGMP (0.5 microM) or cGMP-dependent protein kinase (0.94 micrograms/ml). Addition of monobutyryl cAMP (0.5 microM) or purified catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (1.26 micrograms/ml) inhibited the activity of the Na+, K+-ATPase. Preincubation with a partially purified preparation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor (75 micrograms/ml) stimulated the activity of the Na+, K+-ATPase, and this stimulation was decreased by the addition of 5 microM monobutyryl cAMP. It is not yet known whether direct and/or indirect mechanisms are involved, but these results are the first to describe such opposing effects by cyclic nucleotide-mediated processes on a Na+, K+-ATPase activity.

Two substrate proteins for cAMP-dependent protein kinase detected in a rat heart sarcolemma preparation displayed molecular weights of 24,000 and 9000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate gels and were shown to be interconvertible. The 9000-dalton protein could readily be separated from other low molecular weight phosphoproteins (mol. wt. 14,000 and 7000) by the use of 15% polyacrylamide gels. In addition to an endogenous cAMP-dependent protein kinase the membrane preparation also contained a protein-phosphorylation system that required Ca2+ and calmodulin. It appeared that both 24,000- and 55,000-dalton proteins were substrates for the endogenous Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. Contaminating sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, first loaded with calcium oxalate, could be separated from the enriched sarcolemma preparation by sucrose gradient centrifugation. The separation was confirmed by comparative analysis of 5'-nucleotidase, Na+ -Ca2+ antiporter, and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-dependent ATPase activities and by determination of gel electrophoretic (phospho)protein composition, sialic acid, cholesterol, and phospholipid contents. The 24,000-dalton phosphoprotein complex was equally distributed between sarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions, whereas the 55,000- and 7000-dalton proteins were predominantly found in the sarcolemmal fraction. The 24,000-dalton protein was most likely phospholamban, because no other phosphoprotein was found in the 20,000 molecular weight range.

A procedure has been developed for isolating canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum with considerably improved Ca2+ transport properties and stability. Contamination by mitochondria and sarcolemma is low, and the preparation is at least 85% pure sarcoplasmic reticulum. The preparation exhibits efficient, high activity ATP-dependent, oxalate-facilitated Ca2+ accumulation. At 13-16 microM ionized Ca2+, loading at 37 degrees C is 2.55 +/- 0.08 mumol of Ca2+/mg of protein in 1 min and reaches 9.08 +/- 0.64 mumol of Ca2+/mg of protein. Approximately 1 mol of Ca2+ is transported per mol of ATP hydrolyzed. Ca2+-insensitive ATPase is low. The Ca2+ loading rate and the Ca2+/ATP efficiency are increased by addition of ryanodine. At 1.2 microM ionized Ca2+, where the control rate is significantly higher than values previously reported, the Ca2+ transport rate is further increased 64% by calmodulin, 2.3-fold by cAMP plus cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and 2.5-fold by the combination of these components. The preparation is stable for 24 h at room temperature and for 48 hr at 0 degrees C and can be stored at -70 degrees C with retention of function for more than 1 month. The preparation is further characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, by phospholipid analysis, and by thin section, freeze-fracture, and negative staining electron microscopy. The analyses indicate that the orientation and turnover number of the cardiac Ca2+ pump protein are similar to those of the skeletal muscle enzyme, and that the major factor in the lower Ca2+ transport rate of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum is a lower density of Ca2+ pump polypeptides in the membrane.

The rate of calcium transport by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from dog heart assayed at 25 degrees C, pH 7.0, in the presence of oxalate and a low free Ca2+ concentration (approx. 0.5 microM) was increased from 0.091 to 0.162 mumol . mg-1 . min-1 with 100 nM calmodulin, when the calcium-, calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation was carried out prior to the determination of calcium uptake in the presence of a higher concentration of free Ca2+ (preincubation with magnesium, ATP and 100 microM CaCl2; approx. 75 microM free Ca2+). Half-maximal activation of calcium uptake occurs under these conditions at 10-20 nM calmodulin. The rate of calcium-activated ATP hydrolysis by the Ca2+-, Mg2+-dependent transport ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum was increased by 100 nM calmodulin in parallel with the increase in calcium transport; calcium-independent ATP splitting was unaffected. The calcium-, calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum, preincubated with approx. 75 microM Ca2+ and assayed at approx. 10 microM Ca2+ approaches maximally 3 nmol/mg protein, with a half-maximal activation at about 8 nM calmodulin; it is abolished by 0.5 mM trifluperazine. More than 90% of the incorporated [32P]phosphate is confined to a 9-11 kDa protein, which is also phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and most probably represents a subunit of phospholamban. The stimulatory effect of 100 nM calmodulin on the rate of calcium uptake assayed at 0.5 microM Ca2+ was smaller following preincubation of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with calmodulin in the presence of approx. 75 microM Ca2+, but in the absence of ATP, and was associated with a significant degree of calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation. However, the stimulatory effect on calcium uptake and that on calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation were both absent after preincubation with calmodulin, without calcium and ATP, suggestive of a causal relationship between these processes.

Sarcolemmal vesicles were prepared from bovine cardiac muscle by differential and discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Na+/K+-ATPase was purified 33-fold to a specific activity of 53 +/- 0.5 (12) mumol Pi X mg-1 X h-1, binding sites for strophantin 20-fold to a density of 56.3 +/- 5.3 (14) pmol/mg and that for the calcium antagonist nitrendipine 5.5-fold to a density of 0.72 +/- 0.07 (6) pmol/mg. The specific activity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger was 61.1 +/- 3.7 (6) nmol/mg. The vesicles had an intravesicular volume of 20 +/- 4 (4) microliter/mg and 56.9 +/- 6 (4)% of the vesicles were right-side-out oriented. Several peptides of the purified membranes were phosphorylated in the presence of Mg . ATP and EGTA. Most of the radioactive phosphate was incorporated into a peptide with an apparent molecular mass of 22 kDa. Denaturation of the membranes at 100 degrees C changed the mobility of this peptide to 15 kDa and 11 kDa. This peptide could not be distinguished from a sarcoplasmic reticulum peptide of similar molecular mass. The phosphorylation of the sarcolemmal peptide was stimulated by Ca2+/calmodulin, cAMP and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. A comparison of the phosphorylation of sarcolemmal membranes with that of sarcoplasmic reticulum showed that Ca2+/calmodulin stimulated in each membrane, the phosphorylation of the 22-kDa peptide and a 44-kDa peptide, and in the sarcoplasmic reticulum the phosphorylation of an additional peptide of 55-kDa. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of a 55-kDa peptide could not be demonstrated in sarcolemma, regardless if sarcolemmal membranes were incubated together with sarcoplasmic reticulum or if the phosphorylation was carried out in the presence of purified cardiac myosin light chain kinase or phosphorylase kinase. 'Depolarization' induced Ca2+ uptake which was measured according to Bartschat, D.K., Cyr, D.L. and Lindenmayer, G.E. [(1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 10044-10047] was 5 nmol/mg protein. This uptake was not enhanced after preincubation of the vesicles with Mg . ATP or Mg . ATP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The value of 5 nmol/mg protein is in agreement with the theoretical amount of Ca2+ which can be accumulated by the bovine cardiac sarcolemma in the absence of a driving force other than the Ca2+ gradient. The potassium-stimulated Ca2+ uptake was not blocked by the organic Ca2+ channel blockers. Prolonged incubation of Mg . ATP with sarcolemmal vesicles in the presence of various ATPase inhibitors led to the hydrolysis of ATP. The liberated phosphate precipitated with Ca2+ in the presence of LaCl3. These precipitates amounted to an apparent Ca2+ uptake ranging from 50 to over 1000 nmol/mg. The results suggest that potassium-stimulated Ca2+ uptake of bovine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles is not enhanced in the presence of ATP or by phosphorylation of a 22-kDa peptide.

Cytosol prepared from rat preovulatory ovarian follicles contained several specific substrates which were phosphorylated by [gamma 32P] ATP in the presence of 2 microM cyclic AMP (cAMP) or 780 nM of highly purified catalytic subunit. These substrates were identified as RII, the regulatory subunit of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase, an Mr = 43,000 protein presumed to be actin, and four other proteins with Mr = 36,500-15,000. A marked decrease in phosphorylation of these proteins was observed within 6-48 h of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-induced ovulation and luteinization in hormonally primed immature rats. The phosphorylation of these proteins was also low in cytosol of corpora lutea isolated on Days 2, 4, 9, 13 and 23 of pregnancy. The decrease in phosphorylation of RII was associated primarily with a decrease in substrate content as measured by photoaffinity labeling and silver staining techniques, and not to a marked increase in phosphoprotein phosphatase and adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activities. Whereas the decreased phosphorylation of other proteins is also presumed to be related to a decrease in their cytosol content, the data do not exclude the possibility that luteal tissue contains a specific phosphoprotein phosphatase which is not present in granulosa or theca cells of preovulatory follicles. We conclude that luteinizing hormone (LH) or hCG, and thereby cAMP itself, induces the rapid loss of specific phosphoproteins which may be involved in regulating cAMP action in granulosa cells.

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.
