Agonist occupancy of the cloned human serotonin (5-HT)1A receptor expressed in HeLa cells stimulates Na+/K+ ATPase activity as assessed by rubidium uptake. The purpose of the study was to determine which of the receptor-associated signaling mechanisms was responsible for this effect. 5-HT stimulated Na+/K+ ATPase 38% at 2 mM extracellular potassium, an effect characterized by a decrease in apparent K0.5 from 2.8 +/- 0.3 to 1.8 +/- 0.3 mM potassium without a significant change in apparent Vmax. The EC50 for the transport effect was approximately 3 microM 5-HT. The response was pertussis toxin-sensitive but did not involve inhibition of adenylate cyclase, as stimulation of Na+/K+ ATPase by 5-HT was observed in the presence of excess dibutyryl cAMP. Protein kinase C was not required for the response since short-term incubation with the phorbol esters phorbol 12 myristate, 13 acetate (PMA) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) did not mimic the 5-HT effect. Moreover, 5-HT increased Na+/K+ ATPase activity after inactivation of protein kinase C by overnight incubation with PMA. 5-HT and the sesquiterpene lactone thapsigargin increased cytosolic calcium in this cell model, and the EC50 for 5-HT corresponded with that for stimulation of Na+/K+ ATPase. Both thapsigargin and A23187, a calcium ionophore, also increased Na+/K+ ATPase activity in a dose-responsive fashion. The response to 5-HT, thapsigargin, and A23187 was blocked by conditions that removed the cytosolic calcium response. By two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, we established evidence for a calcium-sensitive but protein kinase C-independent signaling pathway. We conclude that the 5-HT1A receptor, which we have previously shown to stimulate phosphate uptake via protein kinase C, stimulates Na+/K+ ATPase via a calcium-dependent mechanism. This provides evidence for regulation of two separate transport processes by a single receptor subtype via different signaling mechanisms.

We have examined the effect of protein kinase C phosphorylation on the actin-activated ATPase activity and filament stability of calf thymus myosin. Protein kinase C phosphorylated thymus myosin regulatory light chains, LC20, on two sites which are different from the site phosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase. The light meromyosin part of the thymus myosin heavy chain was also phosphorylated by protein kinase C, but at a rate about 10% that of LC20. Under conditions where both unphosphorylated thymus and myosin light chain kinase-phosphorylated thymus myosin were filamentous and under conditions where myosin light chain kinase phosphorylation induces myosin filament formation, protein kinase C phosphorylation had little effect on the actin-activated ATPase activity or filament stability of unphosphorylated or myosin light chain kinase-phosphorylated myosin. In contrast, protein kinase C phosphorylation has been reported to inhibit the actin-activated ATPase activity of gizzard myosin.

We have found a defect in the ouabain-sensitive Na+, K+-ATPase (Na+ pump, EC 3.6.1.37) of erythrocytes from streptozocin diabetic rats. This defect was accompanied by an increase in cell volume and osmotic fragility and a decrease in the cytosolic K+/Na+ ratio. There was also a doubling in the time needed for diabetic erythrocytes to pass through 4.7-micron channels in a polycarbonate filter. Our data are consistent with a primary defect in the erythrocyte Na+ pump and secondary changes in cell volume, osmotic fragility, K+/Na+ ratio, and cell filterability. All were reversed or prevented in vivo by insulin or the aldose reductase inhibitor Sorbinil. Protein kinase C agonists (phorbol ester and diacylglycerol) and agonist precursor (myoinositol) reversed the Na+ pump lesion, suggesting that protein kinase C-dependent phosphorylation of the 100-kDa subunit regulates Na+ pump activity and that insulin can influence erythrocyte protein kinase C activity. Ouabain inhibition of the erythrocyte Na+ pump also produced increases in cell size and reductions in rates of filtration. Theoretical treatment of the volume changes also predicts reduction in filterability as a consequence of cell swelling. We suggest that enlarged erythrocytes could play a role in the evolution of the microvascular changes of diabetes mellitus.

Six weeks after induction of diabetes, the rate of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ accumulation, a parameter which reflects Na+ + K+-ATPase pumping activity, was significantly reduced in endoneurial preparations of sciatic nerve from untreated diabetic rats compared with that in control rats (Trial, 1, 0.19 +/- 0.09 versus 0.48 +/- 0.13 pmol/min per mg wet weight of tissue, p less than 0.001; Trial 2, 0.27 +/- 0.16 versus 0.47 +/- 0.18, p less than 0.01). This decrease in ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake was not observed in nerves from diabetic rats maintained on sorbinil (an aldose reductase inhibitor) or myo-inositol diets. Protein kinase C activity was demonstrated in the soluble fraction of a sciatic nerve homogenate by assaying for lipid-activated, Ca+-dependent phosphorylation of calf thymus histone. No significant difference in the time course of kinase C activity was observed between cytosol fractions of nerve homogenates from control and diabetic rats (control, 6.22 +/- 0.97 pmol 32P incorporated/mg cytosol protein in 50 min; diabetic, 5.32 +/- 0.71). Three low molecular weight neural proteins (each with Mr less than 29,000) were identified as substrates for protein kinase C.

The rate of energy-dependent nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase)-mediated nucleocytoplasmic translocation of poly(A)-containing mRNA [poly(A)+mRNA] across the nuclear envelope is thought to be regulated by poly(A)-sensitive phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of nuclear-envelope protein. Studying the phosphorylation-related inhibition of the NTPase, we found that phosphorylation of one polypeptide of rat liver envelopes by endogenous NI- and NII-like protein kinase was particularly sensitive to poly(A). This polypeptide (106 kDa) was also phosphorylated by nuclear-envelope-bound Ca2+-activated and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). Activation of kinase C by tumour-promoting phorbol esters resulted in inhibition of nuclear-envelope NTPase activity and in a concomitant decrease of mRNA (actin) efflux rate from isolated rat liver nuclei. Protein kinase C, but not nuclear envelope NI-like or NII-like protein kinase, was found to be solubilized from the envelope by Triton X-100, whereas the presumable poly(A)-binding site [the 106 kDa polypeptide, representing the putative carrier for poly(A)+mRNA transport] remained bound to this structure. RNA efflux from detergent-treated nuclei lost its susceptibility to phorbol esters. Addition of purified protein kinase C to these nuclei restored the effect of the tumour promoters. Protein kinase C was found to bind also to isolated rat liver nuclear matrices in the absence but not in the presence of ATP. The NII-like nuclear-envelope protein kinase co-purified together with the 106 kDa polypeptide which specifically binds to poly(A) in an ATP-labile linkage.

Unidirectional transport of poly(A)-containing mRNA [poly(A)+ mRNA] through the nuclear envelope pore complex is thought to be an energy (ATP or GTP)-dependent process which involves a nuclear envelope nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase). In the intact envelope, this enzyme is regulatable by poly(A) binding and by poly(A)-dependent phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of other components of the mRNA translocation system, which are as yet unidentified. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were elicited against the poly(A) binding nuclear envelope fraction isolated from rat liver. The mAbs were screened for their modulatory effects on mRNA transport in vitro. One stable clone decreased the efflux of rapidly labeled RNA and of one specific mRNA (ovalbumin) from isolated nuclei. It increased the binding of poly(A) to the envelope and increased the maximal catalytic rate of the NTPase, but it did not alter the apparent Km of the enzyme or the extent of its stimulation by poly(A). The nuclear envelope-associated protein kinase that down-regulates the NTPase was inhibited by the antibody, while other protein kinases were not affected. Because both the NTPase and mRNA efflux were inhibited by the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, the sensitive kinase is probably protein kinase C. Protein kinase C was found to be associated with the isolated nuclear envelope. The antibody reacted with both a Mr 83,000 and a Mr 65,000 nuclear envelope polypeptide from rat liver and other tissues. By immunofluorescence microscopy in CV-1 cells, the antibody localized to the nuclear envelope and, in addition, to cytoplasmic filaments which show some superposition with the microfilament network.

Phosphorylation of the 20-kDa light chain regulates adult smooth muscle myosin; phosphorylation by the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent enzyme myosin light chain kinase stimulates the actomyosin ATPase activity of adult smooth muscle myosin; the simultaneous phosphorylation of a separate site on the 20-kDa light chain by the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme protein kinase C attenuates the myosin light chain kinase-induced increase in the actomyosin ATPase activity of adult myosin. Fetal smooth muscle myosin, purified from 12-day-old fertilized chicken eggs, is structurally different from adult smooth muscle myosin. Nevertheless, phosphorylation of a single site on the 20-kDa light chain of fetal myosin by myosin light chain kinase results in stimulation of the actomyosin ATPase activity of this myosin. Protein kinase C, in contrast, phosphorylates three sites on the fetal myosin 20-kDa light chain including a serine or threonine residue on the same peptide phosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase. Interestingly, phosphorylation by protein kinase C stimulates the actomyosin ATPase activity of fetal myosin. Moreover, unlike adult myosin, there is no attenuation of the actomyosin ATPase activity when fetal myosin is simultaneously phosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase and protein kinase C. These data demonstrate, for the first time, the in vitro activation of a smooth muscle myosin by another enzyme besides myosin light chain kinase and raise the possibility of alternate pathways for regulating smooth muscle myosin in vivo.

Control of the contraction/relaxation cycle in vascular smooth muscle is regulated by Ca2+ and the cyclic nucleotides, cAMP and cGMP. For the most part, the effectors of these intracellular messengers are the protein kinases. Four major protein kinases (myosin light chain kinase, protein kinase C, cAMP dependent protein kinase, and cGMP dependent protein kinase) have been identified in vascular smooth muscle. Substantial biochemical and physiological evidence exists supporting the involvement of Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated activation of myosin light chain kinase and phosphorylation of the 20,000 dalton P-light chain of myosin in the regulation of vascular contractile activity. However, alternative hypotheses exist which suggest that additional Ca2+ dependent regulatory mechanisms reside at other contractile protein sites. Calcium also activates protein kinase C, which requires phospholipid and diacylglycerol as co-factors instead of calmodulin. Protein kinase C also phosphorylates smooth muscle myosin P-light chain; however, phosphorylation occurs at a different site on the P-light chain and represses ATPase activity which has been stimulated by myosin light chain kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation. The precise physiological role of protein kinase C in modulating vascular smooth muscle contractile activity remains to be elucidated. Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle by some different relaxants is linked to either cAMP or cGMP formation. Correlative evidence also links activation of cAMP dependent protein kinase with relaxation. Two isozymes of cAMP dependent protein kinase exist in arterial smooth muscle; potential specific roles for each isozyme have not been elucidated. Mechanistically, relaxation mediated by both cyclic nucleotide-regulated protein kinases most likely involves primary effects on Ca2+ ion flux regulation rather than direct effects on contractile protein interactions. Activation of cGMP dependent protein kinase may be important in mediating the relaxant effects of endothelium derived relaxant factor or atrial natriuretic factor. Direct pharmacological modulation of smooth muscle vascular protein kinase activity represents an approach towards developing novel vasodilator agents. Various classes of agents, including phenothiazine antipsychotics, antidepressants, naphthalene sulfonamides, and certain lipophilic Ca2+ antagonists, inhibit myosin light chain kinase activity primarily by competition with the enzyme for Ca2+-calmodulin. However, additional inhibition via binding to the myosin P-light chain may also occur with some of these agents.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase) purified from rat brain or endogenous to cell-free extracts from HeLa cells stimulates, by a factor of 2-3, HeLa DNA polymerase alpha but not beta or gamma. Monoclonal antibody to the kinase prevents the stimulation, and monoclonal antibody to human DNA polymerase alpha neutralizes the enhanced activity. Reduced DNA polymerase alpha activity is obtained from noncycling HeLa cells and this activity has lower fidelity when copying synthetic primer-templates than that obtained from log phase cultures. After exposure to the kinase, the fidelities and activities of the polymerase from both sources increase by 2- to 3-fold. This improved accuracy is not accompanied by the appearance of triphosphatase or DNase activities. Exposure to the protein kinase reduces the Km for activated DNA and for poly(dA-dT) but not for dNTPs. Moreover, the Vmax for activated DNA but not for poly(dA-dT) is increased approximately 2- to 3-fold. These alterations suggest a role for protein phosphorylation in modulating DNA polymerase alpha.

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.
