The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytosol fractions of liver homogenates exhibit phosphoprotein phosphatase activity towards glycogen synthase D and phosphorylase a. The following observations suggest that liver contains multiple forms of these phosphatases. Synthase phosphatase activity in either fraction was more readily inactivated by heating than phosphorylase phosphatase activity. Both synthase phosphatase and phosphorylase phosphatase activities in smooth ER were non-competitively inhibited by Mg2+, but were activated by this ion in the cytosol. Synthase phosphatase activities in cytosol and smooth ER were stimulated by a number of sugar phosphates, particularly glucose-1-phosphate, galactose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate. Erythrose-4-phosphate stimulated synthase phosphatase activity in the cytosol, but inhibited the microsomal enzyme. Phosphorylase phosphatase activities in either fraction were inhibited by most sugar phosphates. Adenosine mono-, di- and tri-phosphates inhibited phosphatase activities in both fractions. Low concentrations of AMP and ADP inhibited phosphorylase phosphatase activities to a greater extent than synthase phosphatase activities. Chromatography of the smooth ER fraction on DEAE-cellulose resulted in the separation of synthase phosphatase from phosphorylase phosphatase, as soluble proteins. The elution profile for the microsomal phosphatase was different from that for the cytosol enzymes. It is concluded that: both synthase phosphatase and phosphorylase phosphatase in liver have at least two isoenzyme forms; synthase phosphatase and phosphorylase phosphatase are separate enzymes; the different behaviour of microsomal and cytosol phosphatases towards divalent cations and sugar phosphates provides a potential mechanism for the differential regulation of these activities in liver.

Leishmania donovani promastigotes contain intense tartrate-resistant cell surface acid phosphatase (ACP1) which blocks superoxide anion production by activated human neutrophils [A.T. Remaley et al. (1984) J. Biol. Chem, 259, 11173-11175]. An extensively purified preparation of ACP1 dephosphorylates several phosphoproteins which are phosphorylated at serine residues; these include: pyruvate kinase (Km 1.6 microM; Vmax 71.4 U (mg protein)-1), phosphorylase kinase (Km 0.076 microM; Vmax 5.4 U (mg protein)-1) and histones (Km 4.86 microM; Vmax 2.2 U (mg protein)-1). However, the specific activity of the leishmanial phosphatase on these phosphoproteins is very low as compared to other phosphoprotein phosphatases. The phosphatase activity of ACP1 was also low on phosphohistone phosphorylated at tyrosine residues. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate (PIP2) and inositoltriphosphate (IP3) were also tested as ACP1 substrates. PIP2 was hydrolyzed rapidly by ACP1. The rate of hydrolysis of PIP2 was higher at pH 6.8 (Km 2.35 microM; Vmax 107 X 10(3) U (mg protein)-1) than at pH 5.5 (Km 4.16 microM; Vmax 71 X 10(3) U (mg protein)-1). 32P-labeled IP3 was also a substrate for ACP1; the hydrolysis products consisted of a mixture of inositoldiphosphate and inositolmonophosphate. ACP1 and ten other phosphatases were tested for their ability to dephosphorylate proteins and to inhibit O2- production by stimulated human neutrophils. There was no correlation between the protein phosphatase activity of the acid- and alkaline phosphatases and their ability to block neutrophil O2- production. The results indicate that ACP1 probably blocks the production of reduced oxygen intermediates by a mechanism that does not involve dephosphorylation of phosphoproteins; however, the possibility that the parasite's phosphatase affects phagocyte metabolism by degrading PIP2 or IP3 should be considered.

Two broad-specifically protein phosphatases, termed protein phosphatase-1 (PrP-1) and protein phosphatase-2A (PrP-2A), accounting for all the hepatic activity regulating glycogen phosphorylase, were measured in spontaneously diabetic Chinese hamsters exhibiting persistent glycosuria. When compared with genetically related inbred sublines free of glycosuria, diabetic animals demonstrated approximately 25% increase in PrP-1 activity measured either in crude tissue extracts or in cytosols fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography. No significant alteration in total PrP-2A activity was observed in the diabetic animals. These findings indicate that a specific change in hepatic PrP-1 is associated with genetically acquired diabetes in Chinese hamsters. In contrast to reported data using animals with experimentally induced diabetes mellitus, hepatic PrP-1 was increased in the spontaneously diabetic Chinese hamsters. The data suggests that distinct alterations in PrP-1 and associated metabolic consequences are exhibited by different types of diabetes.

The N-terminal part sequences of pituitary growth hormone, N alpha-acetyl-hGH 7-13 and hGH 6-13, promoted conversion of glycogen synthase b to glycogen synthase a in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue when injected intravenously. The peptides also caused conversion of phosphorylase a to phosphorylase b in liver and adipose tissue, but not in muscle, where the peptides antagonised activation of phosphorylase. Synthase phosphatase activity in muscle and phosphorylase phosphatase activity in liver increased after injection of peptide, with time courses of change similar to those seen for muscle synthase and liver phosphorylase activities. Injection of peptide also decreased both the cyclic AMP dependent and independent synthase kinase activities in muscle. These results show that the insulin-like activities of these peptides on glycogen synthase and phosphorylase involve both increases in protein phosphatase activities and inhibition of protein kinase activities. These results are discussed in relation to the insulin-like activities of growth hormone.

When analyzed from transformed cell lysates, pp60v-src, the product of the Rous sarcoma virus src gene, typically appears as a single polypeptide of 60,000 molecular weight, phosphorylated at two major sites, an amino-terminal region serine residue and carboxy-terminal region tyrosine residue. We describe here the identification of variant forms of pp60v-src present in transformed cell lysates that exhibited an altered electrophoretic mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. This change in migration appeared to be the result of some alteration in the amino-terminal portion of the molecule and paralleled the appearance of extensive amino-terminal region tyrosine phosphorylation on the pp60v-src molecule. These structural modifications were further correlated with a dramatic increase in the protein kinase-specific activity of pp60v-src. The detection of these variant forms of pp60v-src depended on the prior treatment of the transformed cell cultures with vanadium ions or the inclusion in the cell disruption buffer of Mg2+ or ATP-Mg2+. The implications is that modified, highly active forms of the pp60v-src protein exist in transformed cells, but are transient and rapidly converted to stable forms, possibly by specific dephosphorylation. We suggest that amino-terminal region tyrosine phosphorylation of pp60v-src, presumably the result of autophosphorylation, serves to greatly enhance src protein enzymatic activity, but that much of the regulation of this transforming protein's function may involve a phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase.

The catalytic subunit of phosphoprotein phosphatase (Mr = 35,000) is inactivated by phosphate compounds such as trimetaphosphate, PPi, and ATP. The inactivation of phosphoprotein phosphatase by these phosphate compounds is time- and concentration-dependent, is not reversed by dilution or gel filtration and is protected by Pi. A dissociation constant for the enzyme-trimetaphosphate complex and a rate constant for the reaction were calculated to be 4.6 x 10(-4) M and 0.29 min-1, respectively. The inactivation of phosphatase by PPi and ATP shows more complex kinetics than that by trimetaphosphate. The addition of EDTA to PPi and ATP exhibits more potent inactivation, even though EDTA alone does not inactivate phosphatase. This phosphoprotein phosphatase is not labeled by [gamma-32P]ATP. The inactivation of phosphatase by PPi or ATP can only be reversed by Mn2+ or Co2+, among all other metals or cationic compounds tried. The reactivation also requires sulfhydryl compounds. The effectiveness of sulfhydryl compounds follows the order: dithioerythritol greater than mercaptoethanol greater than cysteine. Glutathione was without effect. Metal analysis of the catalytic subunit did not reveal any significant amounts of Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Sn, or Zn. Phosphoprotein phosphatase activity from zinc-deficient rat livers also eliminated the possibility of this phosphatase being a zinc metalloenzyme. Inactivation does not seem to be due to a loss of a critical metal ion. Other mechanisms for inactivation are presented.

The subcellular distribution of adenylate cyclase, cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase, protein kinases and phosphoprotein phosphatase in bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei was determined by isopycnic sucrose-gradient centrifugation of post-large-granule extracts. Cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase was almost entirely soluble whereas adenylate cyclase was membrane-bound. The latter enzyme appeared to be absent from the plasma-membrane fraction but copurified with acid phosphatase and acid phosphodiesterase indicating a possible association with the flagellar pocket. At least two protein kinase activities could be distinguished as based on their distribution profiles in gradients, their preference for exogenously added acceptor protein and their inhibition and stimulation by suramin and nucleoside, respectively. Suramin-sensitive protein kinase co-purified with the plasma-membrane marker alpha-D-glucosidase and a nucleoside-stimulated protein kinase behaved as a typical cell-sap enzyme. Phosphoprotein phosphatase activity was found to be mainly soluble but a small part seemed to be associated with plasma membranes.

Phosphoprotein phosphatase was purified from swine kidney by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, Sephacryl S-200 and Sepharose 4B columns containing covalently bound hexanediamine and polylysine. The enzyme was purified more than 20000-fold and the homogeneous preparation had a specific activity of 2.8 micromol per min per mg of protein with saturating concentrations of 32P-histone as the substrate. The phosphatase showed only a single protein band when examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and a single protein peak containing all of the enzymatic activity was observed during chromatography on Sephadex G-100 column. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was determined to be 70000 +/- 5000 by exclusion chromatography on a calibrated Sephadex G-100 column. Similar values were obtained by sucrose density centrifugation, 70000 +/- 5000, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, 70000 +/- 3000. The purified enzyme catalyzed the dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated forms of glycogen synthase, phosphorylase, histone, phosphofructokinase, Type II regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, casein and protamine. The apparent Km values for these substrates were 3.6 microM, 2.8 microM, 66 microM, 3.3 microM, 8.0 microM, 6.6 microM and 100 microM, respectively. The enzyme did not hydrolyze low molecular weight phosphate esters such as glucose 6-phosphate, glycerol phosphate, adenosine nucleotides and inorganic pyrophosphate. The activity of the enzyme towards a phosphorylated protein substrate was competitively inhibited by the addition of other substrates. These results suggest that swine kidney contains a phosphoprotein phosphatase with a rather broad substrate specificity for a number of endogenous and exogenous phosphoprotein substrates.

Microinjection of cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor (1.8 microM) increases the cAMP level of Xenopus oocyte. Its effect was observed in full-grown (stage VI) as well as in vitellogenic (stage IV) oocytes. In contrast the inhibitor I1 of protein phosphatase-1 blocks cAMP accumulation. Progesterone (1 microM) decreases the cAMP level in control and in PKI-treated oocytes of both stages. These results show that cAMP concentration is regulated by a cAMP-dependent phosphorylation indicating the presence of a feedback mechanism. The feedback control is disrupted when oocyte is induced to mature by progesterone.

The LSTRA murine thymoma cell line contains an elevated level of tyrosine protein kinase activity. When a microsomal preparation from these cells is incubated in vitro with ATP, the principal tyrosine protein kinase substrate is a 56,000-dalton protein, p56. We have found that an activity phosphorylating p56 on tyrosine can also be detected at low levels in microsomes from most, but not all, T lymphoma cell lines and from normal thymic tissue. Only 1 of 30 other lymphoma cell lines was found to contain an elevated level of such a tyrosine protein kinase. An activity that phosphorylated p56 in vitro was not detectable in the cells of other hematopoietic lineages. Anti-peptide antibodies reactive with the site of in vitro tyrosine phosphorylation of p56 allowed us to determine that the apparent abundance of the p56 polypeptide parallels closely the level of the tyrosine protein kinase activity in the cell lines examined. This suggests that p56 is the protein kinase responsible for the elevated tyrosine protein kinase activity in LSTRA cells and that the phosphorylation of p56 observed in vitro results from autophosphorylation. Two-dimensional tryptic peptide mapping revealed that p56 is distinct from the proteins encoded by the cellular genes which are the progenitors of retroviral tyrosine protein kinases, src, yes, fgr, abl, fes, and ros. Additionally, none of these proto-oncogenes was found to be transcribed at elevated levels in LSTRA or Thy19 cells. Like the catalytic subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, the cellular and viral forms of p60src, and the protein phosphatase calcineurin B, p56 contains covalently bound fatty acid.
