Bovine platelet myosin is phosphorylated by protein kinase C at multiple sites. Most of the phosphate is incorporated in the 20,000-dalton light chain although some phosphate is incorporated in the heavy chain. Phosphorylation of the 20,000-dalton light chain of platelet myosin is 10 times faster than the phosphorylation of smooth muscle myosin. Platelet myosin light chain is first phosphorylated at a threonine residue followed by a serine residue. Dominant phosphorylation sites of the 20,000-dalton light chain are estimated as serine-1, serine-2, and threonine-9. Prolonged phosphorylation by protein kinase C resulted in an additional phosphorylation site which, on the basis of limited proteolysis, appears to be either serine-19 or threonine-18. Phosphorylation by protein kinase C causes an inhibition of actin-activated ATPase activity of platelet myosin prephosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase. Inhibition of ATPase activity is due to a decreased affinity of myosin for actin, and no change in Vmax is observed. It is shown that platelet myosin also exhibits the 6S to 10S conformation transition as judged by viscosity and gel filtration methods. Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of platelet myosin is paralleled with the 10S-6S transition. Phosphorylation by protein kinase C affects neither the 10S-6S transition nor the myosin filament formation. Therefore, the inhibition of actin-activated ATPase activity of platelet myosin is not due to the change in the myosin conformation.

The domain structure of rho protein, a transcription termination factor of Escherichia coli, was analyzed by oligonucleotide site-directed mutagenesis and chemical modification methods. The single cysteine at position 202, previously thought to be essential for rho function, was changed to serine or to glycine with no detectable effects on the protein's hexameric structure, RNA-binding ability, or ATPase, helicase, and transcription termination activities. A 151-residue amino-terminal fragment (N1), generated by hydroxylamine cleavage, and its complementary carboxyl-terminal fragment of 268 amino acids (N2) were extracted from NaDod-SO4/polyacrylamide gels and renatured. The N1 fragment binds poly(C) and mRNA corresponding to the rho-dependent terminator sequence trp t', but not RNA unrecognized by rho; hence, this small renaturable domain retains not only the binding ability but also the specificity of the native protein. Uncleaved rho renatures to regain its RNA-dependent ATPase activity, but neither N1 nor N2 exhibits any detectable ATP hydrolysis. Similarly, the two fragments, isolated separately but renatured together, are unable to hydrolyze ATP. Sequence homology to the alpha subunit of the E. coli F1 membrane ATPase, and to consensus elements of other nucleotide-binding proteins, strongly suggests a structural domain for ATP binding that begins after amino acid 164. The implications of discrete domains for RNA and nucleotide binding are discussed in the context of requirements for specific interactions between RNA-binding and ATP-hydrolysis sites during transcription termination.

Activities of different enzymes (acid glycosidases, phosphatases, Na+ - K+ -dependent ATPase, proteases, dehydrogenases) and acid glycosaminoglycans were studied by histochemical methods in sections of rabbit anterior eye segments after experimental alkali burn and treatment with aprotinin, an inhibitor of plasmin and other serine proteinases. Solutions of sodium hydroxide (0.25-1.0 M) were applied on corneas using 12-mm-diameter plastic tube for 15-60 s. After wiping with cotton and rinsing with tap water aprotinin solutions were applied in saline (in experimental animals) and saline (in control animals) dropwise in 12-h intervals for a month. Within the first two weeks aprotinin was used at a concentration of 5000 IU/ml. During the subsequent two weeks the aprotinin concentration was reduced to 2500 IU/ml. Striking differences in enzyme activities and in the healing between treated and untreated eyes were found. Without aprotinin, ulcers developed in most corneas within 3 weeks and plasmin was regularly demonstrated in tears and in the aqueous. When aprotinin treatment was started within 24 h after the burn, the number of enzymatically active inflammatory cells was significantly lower, not only in the cornea itself but also in the whole anterior eye segment. With aprotinin treatment no ulcerations and no plasmin in tears and the aqueous were observed and the corneas healed within a month. The healing process started from the zone of enzymatically activated corneal cells in the unburned zone at the corneal periphery. In the regenerating epithelium and endothelium high activities of Na+ -K+ -dependent ATPase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, lactate and succinate dehydrogenases appeared very soon.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The activity of a purified cytosolic aminopeptidase (Mr 79,000) from monkey brain was stimulated about 4-fold by ATP-Mg2+. The stimulation was seen with either synthetic aminopeptidase substrates or natural peptides such as enkephalins. Both ATP and Mg2+ were required for stimulation, and ADP did not inhibit the stimulation. Non-hydrolysable analogues of ATP, deoxy-ATP and other nucleoside triphosphates stimulated to a lesser extent compared with ATP, whereas nucleoside mono- or di-phosphates were ineffective. The enzyme did not exhibit any ATPase activity. An ATPase inhibitor, orthovanadate, had no inhibitory effect on the ATP-Mg2+ stimulation. The aminopeptidase was not autophosphorylated by [gamma-32P]ATP and Mg2+, but in the presence of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase underwent phosphorylation on serine residue(s). Phosphorylation resulted in inactivation of the aminopeptidase activity, and also resulted in a decreased stimulation of the enzyme by ATP-Mg2+.

The Neurospora crassa plasma membrane H+-ATPase is rapidly inactivated in the presence of diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEP). The reaction is pseudo-first-order showing time- and concentration-dependent inactivation with a second-order rate constant of 385-420 M-1.min-1 at pH 6.9 and 25 degrees C. The difference spectrum of the native and modified enzyme has a maximum near 240 nm, characteristic of N-carbethoxyhistidine. No change in the absorbance of the inhibited ATPase at 278 nm or in the number of modifiable sulfhydryl groups is observed, indicating that the inhibition is not due to tyrosine or cysteine modification, and the inhibition is irreversible, ruling out serine residues. Furthermore, pretreatment of the ATPase with pyridoxal phosphate/NaBH4 under the conditions of the DEP treatment does not inhibit the ATPase and does not alter the DEP inhibition kinetics, indicating that the inactivation by DEP is not due to amino group modification. The pH dependence of the inactivation reaction indicates that the essential residue has a pKa near 7.5, and the activity lost as a result of H+-ATPase modification by DEP is partially recovered after hydroxylamine treatment at 4 degrees C. Taken together, these results strongly indicate that the inactivation of the H+-ATPase by DEP involves histidine modification. Analyses of the inhibition kinetics and the stoichiometry of modification indicate that among eight histidines modified per enzyme molecule, only one is essential for H+-ATPase activity. Finally, ADP protects against inactivation by DEP, indicating that the essential residue modified may be located at or near the nucleotide binding site.

The 20,000-dalton light chain of bovine platelet myosin is phosphorylated at two sites by myosin light chain kinase. The first and second phosphorylation sites are at a serine and a threonine residue, respectively. The location of the phosphorylation sites was determined by using limited proteolysis. The N-terminal sequence of the 17,000-dalton tryptic fragment of platelet myosin 20,000-dalton light chain was found to be identical with that of gizzard 20,000-dalton light chain from Ala-17 to Phe-33. On the basis of these results and the distribution of 32P among the proteolytic fragments, it was concluded that serine-19 and threonine-18 were the two phosphorylation sites. Phosphorylation at the threonine residue markedly increases the actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin. It was found that platelet myosin forms 10S and 6S conformations and its Mg2+-ATPase activity parallels the transition from the 6S to the 10S conformation. The conformational transition was influenced by phosphorylation at both sites, and the phosphorylation at the threonine residue further shifted the equilibrium toward the 6S conformation. The phosphorylation at the threonine residue also induced thick filament formation in the presence of ATP. These results suggest that the phosphorylation at the threonine residue as well as at the serine residue may play an important role in the contractility of nonmuscle cells.

A decrease in activity of Ca2(+)-ATPase and activation of Na+, K(+)-ATPase, correlating with elevation in content of phosphatidyl inositol and phosphatidyl serine, were detected in erythrocyte membranes of patients with the infectional-allergic form of bronchial asthma. Microviscosity of the erythrocyte membranes, estimated by fluorescence spectra of pyrene, was not altered, while negative charge as shown by ANS- fluorescence, was slightly increased on the membrane surface. Euphylline, intal, levamizole and glucocorticosteroid were found to regulate the ATPases activity in vivo and in vitro.

A 47-kilodalton neutrophil cytosol factor (NCF-47k), required for activation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase superoxide (O2-.) production, is absent in most patients with autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease (AR-CGD). NCF-47k cDNAs were cloned from an expression library. The largest clone predicted a 41.9-kD protein that contained an arginine and serine-rich COOH-terminal domain with potential protein kinase C phosphorylation sites. A 33-amino acid segment of NCF-47k shared 49% identity with ras p21 guanosine triphosphatase activating protein. Recombinant NCF-47k restored O2-. -producing activity to AR-CGD neutrophil cytosol in a cell-free assay. Production of active recombinant NCF-47k will enable functional regions of this molecule to be mapped.

A material with inhibitory action to Na+/K+ ATPase was found in the lens of the ICR/f rat, a recessive hereditary cataractous rat. The material also induced lens opacification in vitro. From the results of amino acid analysis and by secondary ion mass spectroscopy, it was suggested that the material might contain approximately equimolar amounts of four amino acids, ie, aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid and glycine, and that the molecular weight was 444. These facts suggested that this material with Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitory action might be a peptide. However, there is not yet any corroborating evidence to show whether this peptide is only a single material or not. The peptide significantly increased with aging in the lens of the ICR/f rat until approximately 90 days, when cataract became manifest, but its content decreased thereafter. This study suggests that one of the causes of cataractogenesis in the ICR/f rat might be this peptide, which is transformed in the lens with aging, and also that the peptide might accelerate lens opacification after cataractogenesis.

As an extension of our previous reports that cardiac and skeletal muscle troponin I (Tn-I) and troponin T (Tn-T) are excellent substrates for protein kinase C (PKC) (Katoh, N., Wise, B. C., and Kuo, J. F. (1983) Biochem. J. 209, 189-195; Mazzei, G. J., and Kuo, J. F. (1984) Biochem. J. 218, 361-369), we have now determined that PKC phosphorylated serine 43 (and/or serine 45), serine 78, and threonine 144 in the free Tn-I subunit and threonine 190, threonine 199, and threonine 280 in the free Tn-T subunit of bovine cardiac troponin. PKC appeared to phosphorylate the same sites of the subunits present in the form of the troponin complex, as indicated by the similarity in the two-dimensional phosphopeptide maps. Although some of the phosphorylation sites were shared by other classes of protein kinases, PKC exhibited a distinct substrate specificity. It was also noted that phosphorylated serine and threonine residues in Tn-I and Tn-T had neighboring basic amino acid residues separated by 1 or 2 other residues both at the amino and carboxyl termini, in agreement with the conclusion of House et al. (House, C., Wettenhall, R. E. H., and Kemp, B. E. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 772-777) based upon their studies on other substrate proteins. Several peptides having sequences around the phosphorylating sites have been synthesized. The phosphorylation experiments indicated that these peptides were substrates for PKC, and their relative substrate activity (determined by the ratios of Vmax/Km) compared with other proteins, in descending order, was Tn-I = Tn-I(134-154) greater than Tn-T much greater than histone H1 greater than Tn-I(33-35) approximately Tn-T(268-284) greater than Tn-T(179-198) approximately Tn-T(191-209). It is suggested that PKC phosphorylation of Tn-I and Tn-T could be biologically significant in terms of possible modifications in interactions among the individual contractile protein components as well as the Ca2+ sensitivity and activity of actomyosin ATPase.
