1. The CNBr digest of troponin C from rabbit fast skeletal muscle was shown to possess many of the functional properties of the whole troponin C molecule. 2. A peptide corresponding to residues 83-134 was isolated, which forms a Ca(2+-dependent complex with troponin I and neutralizes the inhibition by troponin I of the Mg(2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase of desensitized actomyosin. 3. The peptide inhibits the phosphorylation of fast-skeletal-muscle, but not cardiac-muscle, troponin I, by 3' :5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. In this property it was as effective as whole skeletal-muscle troponin C when compared on a molar basis. 4. Biological activity was also present in other fractions obtained from the CNBr digest. 5. By gel filtration and affinity chromatography of the whole CNBr digest of troponin C, two peptides, one of which was identified as representing residues 83-134, were shown to form Ca(2+-dependent complexes with troponin I. 6. The significance of these findings for the mechanism of interaction of troponin C and troponin I is discussed.

Protein kinase activity was determined in subcellular fractions of rat testis interstitial tissue after incubation of the intact tissue with LH (luteinizing hormone) in vitro. Various factors that might have changed the activity of this enzyme during preparation of the fractions before assay were also investigated. The following results were obtained. 1. LH and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (a phosphodiesterase inhibitor) added together during incubation of the interstitial tissue caused a twofold increase in the protein kinase activity in the total tissue homogenate and subcellular fractions (12000g X 5 min pellet and 105000g X 60 min supernatant and pellet). 2. A decrease of approx. 40% in the total amount of protein kinase recovered in the soluble fraction (105000g supernatant) occurred in tissue incubated with LH and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine when compared with the controls. No change in total activity was found in the other fractions. 3. LH and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine caused an increase in cyclic AMP concentration in the soluble fraction (from 30 +/- 6 to 450 +/- 40 pmol/mg of protein, means +/- S.E.M., n = 4), but there was little or no increase in the particulate fractions [from 9 +/- 1 to 13 +/- 3 pmol/mg of protein (n = 3) and from 6 +/- 2 to 23 +/- 11 pmol/mg of protein (n = 3) in the 12000g and 105000g pellets respectively]. 4 Addition of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine alone had little effect on protein kinase activity or cyclic AMP concentrations. 5. Little or no protein kinase activity could be demonstrated in subcellular particulate fractions unless Triton X-100 was added; the effect of this detergent was shown to be at least partly due to the inhibition of adenosine triphosphatase activity. 6. In the presence of Triton X-100 approx. 57% of the total protein kinase activity in the homogenate was found in the 105000g supernatant compared with 11% in the 105000g pellet and 32% in the 12000g pellet. 7. In contrast with adipose-tissue protein kinase [Corbin et al. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 1813-1821] the relative amounts of cyclic AMP-dependent and -dependent enzyme were not affected by dilution of the interstitial-tissue fractions. NaCl (0.5 M) decreased the estimated total amount of protein kinase activity.

Dopa-decarboxylase, acetylcholinesterase, sodium plus potassium stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+ + K+-ATPase), and membrane-bound protein kinase were compared in the erythrocytes of patients with Huntington's disease and normal controls. All these enzymes also exist in the basal ganglia. The Na+ +K+-ATPase level was elevated (p less than 0.05) in Huntington's disease, while no significant changes were observed in the other enzymes. This finding is consistent with the concept that Huntington's disease is associated with a general membrane abnormality.

A protein kinase, stimulated by cytidine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, is conventionally assayed by monitoring the incorporation of radiolabelled phosphate from adenosine triphosphate into a histone substrate. Here the assay of the protein kinase is carried out by positive-ion fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of the enzyme incubation mixture after the reaction has been terminated. The data so obtained show good agreement with data obtained by the conventional radiometric assay: the intrinsic advantage of the mass spectrometric assay is the capacity for multiple component monitoring; the ability of the kinase to bind competing cyclic nucleotides together with integral adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and phosphodiesterase activity can also be assessed.

The response of sodium, potassium-adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase was examined in membranes obtained from rabbit iris-ciliary body. In the presence of the protein kinase together with 10(-5) M cAMP, Na,K-ATPase activity was reduced. No change in Na,K-ATPase activity was detected in response to the protein kinase without added cAMP. Likewise cAMP alone did not alter Na,K-ATPase activity. Reduction of Na,K-ATPase activity was also observed in the presence of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit. The response of the enzyme to the kinase catalytic subunit was also examined in membranes obtained from rabbit ciliary processes. In the presence of 8 micrograms/ml of the catalytic subunit, ciliary process Na,K-ATPase activity was reduced by more than 50%. To examine whether other ATPases were suppressed by the protein kinase, calcium-stimulated ATPase activity was examined; its activity was stimulated by the catalytic subunit. To test whether the response of the ciliary process Na,K-ATPase is unique, experiments were also performed using membrane preparations from rabbit lens epithelium or rabbit kidney; the catalytic subunit significantly reduced the activity of Na,K-ATPase from the kidney but not the lens. These Na,K-ATPase studies suggest that in the iris-ciliary body, cAMP may alter sodium pump activity. In parallel 86Rb uptake studies, we observed that ouabain-inhibitable potassium uptake by intact pieces of iris-ciliary body was reduced by exogenous dibutryl cAMP or by forskolin.

In a previous report on the ontogeny of the ovarian adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase activity during prepubertal development of the rat, we concluded that the 4-fold decline in cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity observed in ovaries of 21- to 23-day-old rats was due to the presence of a heat-labile inhibitor in the ovarian extracts (Hunzicker-Dunn et al., 1984). We developed an assay for this ovarian kinase inhibitor activity that was based on the observation that ovarian cytosol added to an exogenous catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase caused a time-dependent and ovarian cytosol protein concentration-dependent inhibition of exogenous catalytic subunit phosphotransferase activity. The present studies were conducted to evaluate the basis for this catalytic subunit inhibitor present in soluble rat ovarian extracts of prepubertal-aged rats. This inhibitor activity was absent from cytosol extracts of rat corpora lutea, rat liver, rabbit follicles, and rabbit corpora lutea. Inhibitor activity present in rat ovarian cytosol was not attributable to insufficient levels of the phosphorylation substrate Kemptide. Inhibitor activity was also not related to the presence of the large amount of catalytic subunit-free regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase present in ovarian extracts of late juvenile-aged rats. Inhibitor activity, however, did correlate with an endogenous adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity that reduced assay ATP concentrations below levels needed to accurately measure phosphotransferase activity, despite the presence of sodium fluoride (an ATPase inhibitor) and ATP concentrations 5- to 15-fold greater than the Km of the kinase for ATP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Previously, we have shown that okadaic acid (OA), isolated from black sponge (Halichondria okadai) causes contraction even in the absence of Ca++ in the saponin-permealized taenia isolated from guinea pig cecum. In the present study, mechanism of action of OA was examined using native actomyosin extracted from chicken gizzard smooth muscle. In the absence of Ca++, OA (0.1-1 microM) induced superprecipitation and increased the Mg++-adenosine triphosphatase activity. The OA-induced superprecipitation was enhanced by Ca++ at a concentration (greater than 0.1 microM) which did not activate the calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain (MLC) kinase. The effect of OA was not affected by the calmodulin inhibitor, trifluoperazine, at a concentration (100 microM) needed to inhibit the Ca++-induced response, but was inhibited markedly by the nonselective kinase inhibitors, amiloride (1 mM) and K-252a (5 microM). The OA-induced superprecipitation in the absence of Ca++ was accompanied by phosphorylation of the 20 K dalton MLC, which also was enhanced by low concentration of Ca++ (greater than 0.1 microM). OA did not change the phosphatase activity which dephosphorylates the phosphorylated MLC. An activator of Ca++- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (1 microM), did not modulate superprecipitation or phosphorylation of MLC in the presence and absence of OA. Furthermore, inhibitors of Ca++ and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride (400 microM) and polymyxin B (100 micrograms/ml), affected neither superprecipitation nor phosphorylation of MLC induced by OA. With a reconstituted system containing purified myosin and MLC kinase, OA induced only slight phosphorylation of MLC.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A newly synthesized compound, N-(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (HA-1004), was shown to be a potent inhibitor of two cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases, cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and the Ki values were 1.4 and 2.3 microM, respectively. HA-1004 relaxed rabbit aortic strips contracted by various agonists and with similar ED50 values. Phenotolamine, propranolol and atropine did not affect this HA-1004-induced relaxation, thereby suggesting that this compound does not act through these membrane receptor associated mechanisms. HA-1004 shifted the dose-response curve for CaCl2 to the right in a competitive manner in depolarized rabbit renal arterial strips. This compound also relaxed the A-23187 and phenylephrine-induced contractions elicited in Ca++-free solution. These findings suggest that HA-1004 exerts its action at the intracellular or submembranal level. This vasodilator has little effect on actomyosin adenosine triphosphatase and Ca++-calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase. Studies using its derivatives with various lengths of alkyl chain (C0-C6) indicated that the potencies of these compounds, as vasorelaxants, correlated well with their potential to inhibit cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinase. HA-1004 should be a useful tool for investigating in smooth muscle, regulatory mechanism(s) by second messengers, cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP.

Enhancement of endogenous kinase-dependent in vitro protein phosphorylation of subcellular fractions from brains and spinal cords of hens paralyzed 3 weeks after intoxication with tri-o-cresyl phosphate was correlated with the development of organophosphorus compound-induced delayed neurotoxicity (OPIDN). This was documented by showing: parallel dose-dependence curves for both responses, phosphorylation enhancement in proteins from hens treated with OPIDN-producing O-4-bromo-2,5-dichlorophenyl-O-methyl phenylphosphonothioates, but not in those treated with non-OPIDN-producing O,O-diethyl-O-4-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate or tri-p-cresyl phosphate, and shared age and species selectivities for both effects. These results strengthen our earlier observation of a close temporal relationship between protein phosphorylation enhancement and OPIDN. Further studies suggest that the proximate cause of the enhanced phosphorylation is not related to an alteration in protein phosphatase activity or to the preservation of a rate-limiting pool of [gamma-32P]ATP by adenosine triphosphatase inhibition. Therefore, it is most likely related either to altered protein kinase activity or amount (due to chemically originated physical disruption of the neuron). These data support the hypothesis that increased protein phosphorylation may be involved in the development of OPIDN.

The interaction of the dissociated catalytic subunit of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (kinase A) and phosphatidylinositol metabolism has been studied in rat spleen lymphocyte membranes. As reported previously (Sarkadi et al., FEBS Lett. 152: 195-198, 1983) addition of kinase A increased by about twofold the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol in lymphocyte membranes at low ATP concentrations. However, we have found that this increase is an artifact of the assay conditions, and that the increase is a consequence of an inhibition of membrane adenosine triphosphatase activity by the protein kinase A. When lipid phosphorylation was measured under initial rate conditions, at high ATP concentrations, the increase was abolished. No effect of kinase A was observed on initial rates of the synthesis or hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol phosphate. No phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate was produced in the membranes under any of the assay conditions used.
