Prolactin induction of casein mRNA in organ culture. A model system for studying peptide hormone regulation of gene expression.

The peptide hormone, prolactin, when added to organ explants of rat mammary gland, rapidly (within 1 h) induced the accumulation of casein mRNA. Casein mRNA sequences, as determined by hybridization with a specific cDNA probe, were shown to increase for up to 48 h after prolactin addition. The magnitude of this response was dependent upon the day of pregnancy at which the tissue was placed in culture. Maximal levels of induction (as great as 45-fold) were obtained using tissue from 15-day pregnant rats. Further data indicate that two steroid hormones, hydrocortisone and progesterone, were able to modulate the prolactin-induced accumulation of casein mRNA. The continuous presence of hydrocortisone was not necessary for prolactin induction of casein mRNA. However, the presence of hydrocortisone was required for maximal accumulation of casein mRNA. The induction of casein mRNA by prolactin was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by the simultaneous addition of progesterone to the organ culture. Thus, hydrocortisone appears to potentiate the prolactin induction of casein mRNA, whereas progesterone is able to prevent casein mRNA accumulation. Since mammary gland organ culture is performed in a serum-free, chemically defined medium, this system allows a detailed examination of the mechanims by which a peptide hormone regulates the rapid accumulation of a specific mRNA.

Synthetic peptides including acidic clusters as substrates and inhibitors of rat liver casein kinase TS (type-2).

The hexapeptides AcSer-Glu-Glu-Glu-Val-Glu and Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Glu-Glu, reminiscent of the sites phosphorylated by type-2 casein kinase TS in troponin T and glycogen synthase, respectively, have been synthesized and tested as phosphorylatable substrates for casein kinase TS as well as for other protein kinases. Both peptides are readily phosphorylated by casein kinase TS but not, to any detectable extent, by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or phosphorylase kinase. Phosphorylation by type-1 casein kinase S was almost negligible. On the other hand the hexapeptide Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Ala-Ala is phosphorylated much more slowly and the hexapeptide Ser-Glu-Glu-Ala-Ala-Ala is almost unaffected by casein kinase TS. While the Vmax values of casein kinase TS with the acidic hexapeptides are comparable to those obtained with the corresponding protein substrates, the apparent Km values for the peptides are about two orders of magnitude higher than those for the protein substrates. The heptapeptide Arg-Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Val-Glu is a very poor substrate of casein kinase TS in comparison with the corresponding hexapeptide lacking the N-terminal Arg; it is, however, a competitive inhibitor toward the protein substrates, exhibiting a Ki similar to those of Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Glu-Glu and (Glu)5 which, in turn, are one order of magnitude higher than that of (Glu)10. It is concluded that the minimum structural requirement of type-2 casein kinases consists of a phosphorylatable residue followed by an acidic cluster, whose length is critical for the binding to the enzyme. Additional residues on the N-terminal side are not required, but their nature can influence the transphosphorylation reaction considerably.

Formation of gizzard erosion-inducing substance in heated casein-histidine mixture.

Formation of a toxic substance inducing gizzard erosion (GE) was examined by using mainly a casein-histidine mixture as a simple model of fish meal. When a casein-histidine mixture was heated at 135 degrees C for three or five hours or at 160 degrees C for one hour, it induced severe GE. Changes in pH of histidine solution seemed to have little effect on the production of the toxic substance. Addition of a heated mixture of 30 mg of histidine and 150 g of casein (per kg of diet) failed to induce GE. A mixture of 750 mg of histidine and 150 g of casein was enough to produce a maximal toxicity. A heated mixture of histidine and isolated soybean protein, ovalbumin or gluten induced severe GE. A heated mixture of gelatin and histidine had a somewhat milder toxicity. On the other hand, zein and yeast treated in the same way showed only a slight toxicity. Two kinds of pre-treatment of casein before the addition of histidine were proved to be ineffective to inhibit the formation of the toxic substance. The toxicity of heated casein-histamine was rather lower than that of heated casein-histidine. Studies were also made on releasing of the toxic substance from heated casein-histidine into the soluble fraction by acidic hydrolysis and precipitation of this substance at acidic pH.

Differences in the acute phase responses of serum amyloid P-component (SAP) and C3 to injections of casein or bovine serum albumin in amyloid-susceptible and -resistant mouse strains.

In CBA/Ca and C57Bl/Cbi mice, which are susceptible to casein-induced amyloidosis, daily injections of casein caused a marked rise in the level of circulating serum amyloid P-component (SAP), which was sustained while injections continued. In contrast, mice given bovine serum albumin (BSA) injections showed only a small, transient increase in SAP levels. A/J mice, which are relatively resistant to casein-induced amyloidosis, also developed high SAP levels initially, but the increase was not maintained despite continued administration of casein. A/J mice receiving BSA had a slowly progressive rise in SAP which reached the same level as in the casein-treated animals. Administration of colchicine, which prevents casein-induced amyloidosis, suppressed the SAP response to casein in CBA mice. The serum level of the C3 component of complement, which is not an amyloid protein but is an acute phase reactant, also increased following casein injection. The rise in C3 was, however, proportionately less than that of SAP, was less sustained and was scarcely affected by colchicine. The present results therefore demonstrate different patterns in the acute phase response of different proteins in different mouse strains, and suggest that there may be a relationship between sustained high levels of SAP and the deposition of amyloid.

Influence of two amounts of dietary casein on uric acid, sodium urate, and ammonium urate urinary activity product ratios of healthy beagles.

Casein has been used as a protein source in diets designed to dissolve canine ammonium urate uroliths and to prevent their recurrence, because it contains fewer purine precursors than do many other sources of protein. However, an important question is whether reduced quantities of dietary casein have any benefit in modifying saturation of urine with urates. To answer this question, activity product ratios of uric acid, sodium urate, and ammonium urate were determined in 24-hour urine samples produced by 6 healthy Beagles during periods of consumption of a 10.4% protein, casein-based (10.4% casein) diet and a 20.8% protein, casein-based (20.8%casein) diet. Significantly lower 24-hour urinary excretions of ammonia and phosphorus were observed when dogs consumed the 10.4% casein diet. These results suggest that use of the 10.4% casein diet in protocols designed for dissolution and prevention of uric acid, sodium urate, and ammonium urate uroliths in dogs may be beneficial.

Protein kinase C and mammary cell differentiation: involvement of protein kinase C alpha in the induction of beta-casein expression.

Treatment of HC11 mouse mammary epithelial cells with the lactogenic hormones dexamethasone, insulin, and prolactin (DIP) leads to cellular differentiation and production of the milk protein beta-casein. The following experimental evidence suggests the involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) in DIP induced signal transduction. Down-regulation of PKC by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate or addition of CGP 41251, a selective inhibitor of PKC, inhibited beta-casein protein expression induced by DIP in HC11 cells. This inhibition occurs at the level of transcription, since the DIP mediated activation of a beta-casein promoter-luciferase reporter construct or of mammary gland specific factor (MGF), an essential transcription factor for beta-casein promoter activity, was also inhibited by CGP 41251. Inhibition or down-regulation of PKC reduced the activation of MGF by prolactin as well. PKC-alpha, the only conventional PKC isoform expressed in HC11 cells, is most likely involved in the DIP induced beta-casein expression. (a) Only PKC-alpha and PKC-epsilon are down-regulated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate whereas PKC-delta and PKC-zeta are not. (b) Of the PKC isoforms expressed in HC11 cells, CGP 41251 inhibits PKC-alpha more potently than PKC-delta, PKC-epsilon, and PKC-zeta. The IC50 for the inhibition of beta-casein synthesis, MGF activation, and beta-casein promoter activity by CGP 41251 correlated well with the IC50 of PKC-alpha inhibition. (c) Finally, only PKC-alpha translocated to membrane fractions after DIP or prolactin treatment. Taken together, these data indicate that PKC-alpha plays an important role in the signaling pathway activated by prolactin during beta-casein induction.

Studies on human alpha(s)- and kappa-casein fractions and human caseinoglycomacropeptide.

1. Fractions have been obtained from human whole casein closely resembling the alpha(s)- and kappa-fractions of cow casein. 2. The alpha(s)-fraction (human alpha(s)-casein) is calcium-sensitive, heterogeneous in zone analysis and inert towards rennin. 3. The kappa-fraction (human kappa-casein) is calcium-insensitive, heterogeneous in zone analysis, and forms a soluble glycopeptide when acted upon by rennin. 4. Human kappa-casein stabilizes human alpha(s)-casein in the presence of Ca(2+) ions. 5. The glycopeptides released by rennin from human casein and from cow casein have been compared. There are important differences in both the peptide and non-peptide structures of the two compounds. 6. In both human and bovine glycopeptides some of the carbohydrate residues are joined to the peptide by O-glycosidic links with threonine, and possibly with serine.

Phosphorylation of DARPP-32, a dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, by casein kinase II.

DARPP-32 (dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphorprotein, Mr = 32,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) is an inhibitor of protein phosphatase-1 and is enriched in dopaminoceptive neurons possessing the D1 dopamine receptor. Purified bovine DARPP-32 was phosphorylated in vitro by casein kinase II to a stoichiometry greater than 2 mol of phosphate/mol of protein whereas two structurally and functionally related proteins, protein phosphatase inhibitor-1 and G-substrate, were poor substrates for this enzyme. Sequencing of chymotryptic and thermolytic phosphopeptides from bovine DARPP-32 phosphorylated by casein kinase II suggested that the main phosphorylated residues were Ser45 and Ser102. In the case of rat DARPP-32, the identification of these phosphorylation sites was confirmed by manual Edman degradation. The phosphorylated residues are located NH2-terminal to acidic amino acid residues, a characteristic of casein kinase II phosphorylation sites. Casein kinase II phosphorylated DARPP-32 with an apparent Km value of 3.4 microM and a kcat value of 0.32 s-1. The kcat value for phosphorylation of Ser102 was 5-6 times greater than that for Ser45. Studies employing synthetic peptides encompassing each phosphorylation site confirmed this difference between the kcat values for phosphorylation of the two sites. In slices of rat caudate-putamen prelabeled with [32P]phosphate, DARPP-32 was phosphorylated on seryl residues under basal conditions. Comparison of thermolytic phosphopeptide maps and determination of the phosphorylated residue by manual Edman degradation identified the main phosphorylation site in intact cells as Ser102. In vitro, DARPP-32 phosphorylated by casein kinase II was dephosphorylated by protein phosphatases-1 and -2A. Phosphorylation by casein kinase II did not affect the potency of DARPP-32 as an inhibitor of protein phosphatase-1, which depended only on phosphorylation of Thr34 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. However, phosphorylation of DARPP-32 by casein kinase II facilitated phosphorylation of Thr34 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase with a 2.2-fold increase in the Vmax and a 1.4-fold increase in the apparent Km. Phosphorylation of DARPP-32 by casein kinase II in intact cells may therefore modulate its phosphorylation in response to increased levels of cAMP.

Using self-consistent-field theory to understand enhanced steric stabilization by casein-like copolymers at low surface coverage in mixed protein layers.

We present a statistical mechanical approach to predicting the properties of mixed copolymer layers using the Scheutjens-Fleer self-consistent-field theory. Our model copolymers are based on the primary structures of the major bovine casein monomers, alpha(s1)-casein and beta-casein. Numerical calculations have been carried out to determine the polymer segment density profiles at an isolated hydrophobic surface and the interaction forces as a pair of polymer-coated surfaces is brought to close interlayer separation. For a copolymer model containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments, we show how the steric stabilizing capacity of a casein-like macromolecule at very low surface coverage is enhanced in the presence of a thin dense layer of shorter tethered amphiphilic chains. Using a more refined protein model, which also distinguishes between the charged and uncharged hydrophilic segments along the chain, we clearly demonstrate that the enhanced steric repulsion from beta-casein exceeds that from alpha(s1)-casein. These calculations explain how the replacement of just a few percent of beta-lactoglobulin by casein can inhibit the heat-induced thickening and flocculation behavior observed experimentally with some whey protein-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions.

Phosphorylation of yeast plasma membrane H+-ATPase by casein kinase I.

The plasma membrane H+-ATPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is subject to phosphorylation by a casein kinase I activity in vitro. We show this casein kinase I activity to result from the combined function of YCK1 and YCK2, two highly similar and plasma membrane-associated casein kinase I homologues. First, H+-ATPase phosphorylation is severely impaired in the plasma membrane of YCK-deficient yeast strains. Furthermore, the wild-type level of the phosphoprotein is restored by the addition of purified mammalian casein kinase I to the mutant membranes. We used the H+-ATPase as well as a synthetic peptide substrate that contains a phosphorylation site for casein kinase I to compare kinase activity in membranes prepared from yeast cells grown in the presence or absence of glucose. The addition of glucose results in increased H+-ATPase activity which is associated with a decline in the phosphorylation level of the enzyme. Mutations in both YCK1 and YCK2 affect this regulation, suggesting that H+-ATPase activity is modulated by glucose via a combination of a "down-regulating" casein kinase I activity and another, yet uncharacterized, "up-regulating" kinase activity. Biochemical mapping of phosphorylated H+-ATPase identifies a major phosphopeptide that contains a consensus phosphorylation site (Ser-507) for casein kinase I. Site-directed mutagenesis of this consensus sequence indicates that Glu-504 is important for glucose-induced decrease in the apparent Km for ATP.

Some physico-chemical properties and structural changes of bovine beta-casein upon glycation.

The studies on casein structure modification contribute to better understanding of the role of nonamino acid components in forming casein complexes and improving ways of protein functionality. The objective of the experiments was to explain the influence of bovine milk casein glycation on some physico-chemical properties and structural changes. From the the analysis of glycation rate curve the reaction of the first order range can be assumed during the first 24 h, turning to a mixed type afterwards. The isoelectric point and molecular weight of beta-casein increased after glycation and the electrophoretic mobility was slightly modified. The structural changes were also confirmed by different absorption spectra in UV and a better heat stability of the modified beta-casein. The findings showed higher solubility with modified beta-casein. The glycation caused changes in beta-casein, modifying its susceptibility to the trypsin hydrolysis.

Uptake, flow, and digestion of casein and green fluorescent protein in the digestive system of Lygus hesperus Knight.

Selected compounds were used to study physiological processes associated with digestion in the western tarnished plant bug, Lygus hesperus Knight. Durations of passage and rates of absorption, digestion, and excretion were determined for a digestible protein (casein), a non-digestible protein (green fluorescent protein, GFP), and a non-digestible carbohydrate (dextran). Dextran was used as a control to monitor the non-absorptive flow rate of ingesta through the digestive system. Fluorescent tracking of FITC-conjugates of casein and dextran, as well as immunoblotting and immunofluorescent staining of casein and GFP, were used to monitor the degradation (in vitro) and ingestion, digestion, and distribution (in vivo) of the respective compounds. Under our experimental conditions, L. hesperus took discrete meals, feeding and excreting at 2-3 h intervals. Rate of food passage was variable. FITC-dextran was found in the fecal material of most insects by 6-8 h after treatment initiation; by 12 h, 95% of ingested FITC-dextran was recovered from all insects. FITC-casein was digested extensively in in vitro homogenates of gut, hemolymph, and salivary gland. In vivo, FITC-casein was ingested and partially absorbed as a holoprotein into the hemolymph. Ingested FITC-casein was partially degraded in the gut and hemolymph within 2 h of ingestion, and no holoprotein was found after 12 h. In contrast, there was no detectable degradation of GFP in hemolymph, gut, and salivary gland homogenates after 24 h of incubation. Ingested GFP was not degraded in gut or hemolymph up to 8 h after treatment initiation, but did transfer to the hemolymph as a holoprotein. Analysis of immunohistological images confirmed that GFP bound to gut epithelial cell brush-border membranes. However, the mechanism by which GFP and casein pass as holoproteins into the hemolymph remains unknown.

Extracellular matrix regulates alpha s1-casein gene expression in rabbit primary mammary cells and CCAAT enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) binding activity.

Previous studies have shown that both the signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) and the CCAAT enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs) are involved in the regulation of casein gene expression by mammary epithelial cells. Prolactin (Prl) activation of STAT5 is necessary for casein gene expression. The extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates also casein gene expression. Here, we have investigated whether ECM regulates C/EBPs activity in primary rabbit mammary epithelial cells. Isolated primary mammary cells were cultured on plastic or on floating collagen I gel. Prolactin induced alphas 1-casein gene expression when cells were cultured on collagen but not on plastic. It is noteworthy that activated STAT5 was detected in both culture conditions. Several STAT5 isoforms (STAT5a, STAT5b, and other STAT5 related isoforms, some with lower molecular weight than the full-length STAT5a and STAT5b) were detected under the different culture conditions. However, their presence was not related to the expression of alphas 1-casein gene. The binding of nuclear factors to a C/EBP specific binding site and the protein level of C/EBPbeta differed in cells cultured on plastic or on collagen but these parameters were not modified by Prl. This suggests that C/EBP binding activity was regulated by ECM and not by Prl. Interestingly, these modifications were correlated to the expression of the alphas 1-casein gene. Hence, the activation of the alphas 1-casein gene expression depends on two independent signals, one delivered by Prl via the activation of STAT5, the other delivered by ECM via C/EBP.

Casein secretion by mammary gland epithelia from collagen gel cultures and lactating glands.

Amino acid incorporation experiments show that epithelial cells from lactating mouse mammary glands and from collagen gel culture both synthesize and secrete four principal phosphocaseins (p45, p40, p27, and p23 kD). In both cases, however, the casein production is largely dominated by the p27 species. The average percentage distribution of the above casein species in medium from cultured epithelia is approximately 13%, 6%, 68%, and 14%, respectively; for milk the distribution is approximately 23%, 7%, 54%, and 16%. The predominance of the p27 species is not a consequence of extensive extracellular differential degradation of the secreted caseins since no significant casein degradation was observed in culture medium, either in contact or isolated from epithelial cell monolayers. Synthesis and secretion of all the caseins by cultured epithelia is dependent upon insulin, prolactin, and hydrocortisone. Presumably some intracellular events result in the secretion of p27 as the principal casein in mouse milk. Apparently, some selection factor(s) operate to make p27 a major nitrogenous nutritional component for a newborn mouse. In addition, on a quantitative basis, the relative levels of various caseins secreted by epithelia from lactating mammary glands is essentially duplicated by epithelia in collagen gel culture.

Quenched BODIPY dye-labeled casein substrates for the assay of protease activity by direct fluorescence measurement.

We have prepared casein conjugates of two BODIPY dyes for use as fluorogenic protease substrates in homogeneous assays. Both conjugates are labeled to such an extent that the dyes are efficiently quenched in the protein, yielding virtually nonfluorescent substrate molecules. These fluorogenic substrates release highly fluorescent BODIPY dye-labeled peptides upon protease digestion, with fluorescence increases proportional to enzyme activity. These quenched substrates are suitable for the continuous assay of enzymatic activity using standard fluorometers, filter fluorometers, or fluorescence microplate readers using either fluorescein excitation and emission wavelengths to measure BODIPY FL casein hydrolysis or Texas Red wavelengths to detect proteolysis of BODIPY TR-X casein. Most current techniques for detecting protease activity, such as the fluorescein thiocarbamoyl casein (FTC-casein) protease assay, require extensive manipulation, including separation steps, and are therefore labor intensive and error-prone. In comparison, we found the BODIPY dye-labeled casein protease assays to be simple and precise and to have greater sensitivity and a broader dynamic range of detection than the FTC-casein assay. We were able to sensitively detect the activities of a wide variety of enzymes with these new substrates, including serine, acid, sulfhydryl, and metalloproteases. We also found the assay suitable for quantitating protease inhibitor concentrations and for real-time analysis of proteolysis.

Profound immunological tolerance in the antibody response against bovine alpha s1-casein induced by intradermal administration of a dominant T cell determinant.

Immunological tolerance induced by intradermal administration of a peptide from a major milk protein antigen, alpha s1-casein, was investigated. When the peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 91-110 of alpha s1-casein, which included the dominant T cell determinant, was administered intradermally to mice which were subsequently immunized with alpha s1-casein, immunological tolerance in T cell response against alpha s1-casein was induced. Furthermore, intradermal administration of P91-110 induced profound immunological tolerance in the antibody response against native whole protein alpha s1-casein. The anti-alpha s1-casein antibody responses of IgG2a and IgG2b (the subclasses induced by Th1) and of IgG1 (the subclass induced by Th2) were all greatly suppressed by injecting P91-110 or alpha s1-casein. Our study is the first to demonstrate that intradermal administration of a dominant T cell determinant induces profound immunological tolerance in the antibody response against the native protein antigen.

Expression of human milk beta-casein in Escherichia coli: comparison of recombinant protein with native isoforms.

Studies on physiological function and on structure-function relationships of human milk beta-casein have been limited. In this study, we have introduced the human beta-casein cDNA into vectors designed for expression in Escherichia coli. The inducible T7-based expression system resulted in high-level expression of recombinant beta-casein. The recombinant beta-casein, localized intracellularly in E. coli, was purified to homogeneity and compared with purified native beta-casein, in particular with respect to phosphorylation. The E. coli-produced beta-casein was found to comigrate with the full-length, nonphosphorylated native human beta-casein isoform on SDS-PAGE. An N-terminal peptide containing all tentative phosphorylation sites was isolated from the recombinant protein and analyzed by mass spectrometry. The molecular mass as well as the migration of this peptide on reversed-phase chromatography confirmed that it was unphosphorylated.

Isolation of an Arabidopsis thaliana casein kinase II beta subunit by complementation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Casein kinase II is thought to play an essential role in the control of cell division and differentiation in all eukaryotes. Through complementation of a defective casein kinase II catalytic subunit gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we isolated an Arabidopsis thaliana casein kinase II regulatory subunit homologue, CKB1. A second regulatory subunit was identified by low-stringency hybridization with CKB1. Casein kinase II from S. cerevisiae is composed of two catalytic (alpha) and two regulatory (beta) subunits. Simultaneous disruption of the genes for the alpha and alpha' subunits, CKA1 and CKA2, respectively, is lethal. Strain YDH8 has disruptions of CKA1 and CKA2; its viability depends on a temperature-sensitive allele of CKA2, cka2-8, carried on a centromeric plasmid. We screened an A. thaliana cDNA library, whose inserts are under the control of the galactose-inducible GAL10 promoter, for cDNAs which enabled YDH8 cells to grow at the restrictive temperature. One cDNA, CKB1, was isolated by this screen which had homology to cDNAs of casein kinase II beta subunits. A second cDNA, CKB2, was isolated by hybridization and was also able to suppress the YDH8 mutant phenotype. The proteins encoded by CKB1 and CKB2 are 80% identical. The carboxy-terminal two thirds of both proteins is ca. 54% identical to the regulatory beta subunits of casein kinase II from other species. The amino termini are unrelated to any other known proteins. CKB1 and CKB2 lack the conserved autophosphorylation site characteristic of animal beta subunits, but have potential casein kinase II phosphorylation sites in the same region. Suppression of the cka1 delta cka2-8 mutant phenotype occurs by interaction of CKB1 with the defective, cka2-8-encoded, catalytic subunit. Cells with disruptions in CKA1 and CKA2 are not rescued by expression of CKB1.
