Three cyclic AMP-independent acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinases (A, B1 and B2) have been isolated from lactating rat mammary gland, using phosphocellulose chromatography, high performance gel filtration, and affinity chromatography on casein-Sepharose and phosvitin-Sepharose. These protein kinases have been identified with previously described kinases by the following criteria. Kinase A phosphorylates the same sites on rabbit mammary acetyl-CoA carboxylase as acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase 2, which was originally described as a contaminant of rabbit mammary acetyl-CoA carboxylase purified by the poly(ethylene glycol)procedure. Kinase A will henceforth be referred to as acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase-2. Kinase B1 has been identified with casein kinase II by its heparin sensitivity, elution behaviour on phosphocellulose, molecular mass, substrate specificity and subunit composition. Kinase B2 has been identified with casein kinase I by its elution behaviour on phosphocellulose, molecular mass, substrate specificity and subunit composition. The three kinases phosphorylate distinct sites on acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Phosphorylation by either casein kinase I or II does not affect enzyme activity. However, acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase 2 inactivates acetyl-CoA carboxylase reversibly, in an identical manner to cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, and phosphorylates sites located on identical peptides. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase kinase-2 can, however, be distinguished from the free catalytic subunit of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase by its molecular mass, its substrate specificity, its elution behaviour on phosphocellulose, and its complete lack of sensitivity to the protein inhibitor of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. We also present evidence that phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase occurs directly and not via a bicyclic cascade system as proposed by other laboratories.

Protein phosphatase-2B was purified from extracts of rabbit skeletal muscle by a procedure that involved fractionation with ammonium sulphate, chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, fractionation with poly(ethylene glycol), gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 (Mr = 98000 +/- 4000), chromatography on Affi-Gel Blue and affinity chromatography on calmodulin-Sepharose. The enzyme was purified 3500-fold in seven days with an overall yield of 0.5%. The alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase, protein phosphatase inhibitor-1 and the myosin P-light chain from rabbit skeletal muscle were dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase-2B with similar kinetic constants. The alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase was dephosphorylated at least 100-fold more rapidly than the beta-subunit, while glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen synthase, histones H1 and H2B, ATP-citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, L-pyruvate kinase and protein synthesis initiation factor eIF-2 were not dephosphorylated at significant rates. Protein phosphatase-2B became activated 10-fold by calmodulin (A0.5 = 6 nM) after chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose and this degree of activation was maintained throughout the remainder of the purification. Calmodulin increased the Vmax of the reaction without altering the Km for inhibitor-1. The activity of protein phosphatase-2B was completely dependent on Ca2+ in the presence or absence of calmodulin. Half-maximal activation was observed at 1.0 microM Ca2+ in the absence, and at 0.5 microM Ca2+ in the presence, of 0.03 microM calmodulin. Protein phosphatase-2B was inhibited completely by trifluoperazine; half-maximal inhibition occurred at 45 microM in the absence and 35 microM in the presence of 0.03 microM calmodulin. The metabolic role of protein phosphatase-2B in vivo is discussed in the light of the observation that this enzyme is probably identical to a major calmodulin-binding protein of neural tissue termed calcineurin or CaM-BP80 [Stewart, A. A., Ingebritsen, T. S., Manalan, A., Klee, C. B., and Cohen, P. (1982) FEBS Lett. 137, 80-84].

Biotin-protein ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent biotinylation of a specific lysine residue in acetyl-CoA carboxylase. The biotin-protein ligase from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 has been cloned, overexpressed and purified. Crystallization was performed by the microbatch method or the vapour-diffusion method using PEG 2000 as a precipitant at 295 K. X-ray diffraction data have been collected to 1.6 A resolution from a native crystal and to 1.55 A resolution from a selenomethionine-derivative crystal for multiple anomalous dispersion phasing using synchrotron radiation at 100 K. The native crystal belongs to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 38.601, b = 78.264, c = 70.147 A, beta = 101.48 degrees. Assuming a homodimer per asymmetric unit gives a VM value of 2.14 A3 Da(-1) and a solvent content of 42.5%. Cocrystals with biotin, ADP and biotinyl-5'-AMP were prepared and diffraction data sets were collected to 1.6, 1.6 and 1.45 A resolution, respectively.

Biotin protein ligase (BPL) catalyses the biotinylation of the biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. To elucidate the exact details of the protein-protein interactions in the biotinylation function, the C-terminal half fragment of BCCP (BCCPDeltaN76), the R48A mutant of BPL (BPL*) and the R48A K111A double mutant of BPL (BPL**), all of which are from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3, have been expressed, purified and successfully cocrystallized. Cocrystals of the BPL*-BCCPDeltaN76 and BPL**-BCCPDeltaN76 complexes as well as crystals of BPL*, BPL** and BCCPDeltaN76 were obtained by the oil-microbatch method using PEG 20 000 as a precipitant at 295 K. Complete X-ray diffraction data sets for BPL*-BCCPDeltaN76 and BPL**-BCCPDeltaN76 crystals were collected at 100 K to 2.7 and 2.0 A resolution, respectively, using synchrotron radiation. They belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with similar unit-cell parameters a = 69.85, b = 63.12, c = 75.64 A, beta = 95.9 degrees . Assuming two subunits of the complex per asymmetric unit gives a V(M) value of 2.45 A(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 50%.

Biotin protein ligase from Staphylococcus aureus catalyses the biotinylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and pyruvate carboxylase. Recombinant biotin protein ligase from S. aureus has been cloned, expressed and purified. Crystals were grown using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using PEG 8000 as the precipitant at 295 K. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.3 A resolution from crystals using synchrotron X-ray radiation at 100 K. The diffraction was consistent with the tetragonal space group P4(2)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 93.665, c = 131.95.

The gene encoding biotin acetyl-CoA carboxylase ligase (BirA) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli with a C-terminal Strep-tag. PEG 4000 as well as PEG 8000 were used as precipitants at pH 7.5 to crystallize the protein using the vapour-diffusion technique. X-ray characterization of crystals at room temperature indicated that the crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 79.7, b = 62.8, c = 105.8 A. Assuming the presence of two BirA molecules in the asymmetric unit, the solvent content of the crystals was 44% (V(M) = 2.2 A(3) Da(-1)). When transferred to a cryoprotectant, crystals grown in the same drop exhibited a difference in one unit-cell parameter, with a = 60.1, b = 64.0, c = 103.6 A, but belonged to the same P2(1)2(1)2(1) space group. These crystals, with two molecules of BirA present per asymmetric unit, appeared to have a very low solvent content of 28% (V(M) = 1.7 A(3) Da(-1)).
