ATP x Mg-dependent protein phosphatase from rabbit skeletal muscle. II. Purification of the activating factor and its characterization as a bifunctional protein also displaying synthase kinase activity.

A protein (FA) has been isolated from rabbit muscle which has two functions: one is the activation of the ATP x Mg-dependent phosphatase (see previous paper) (1) and the second is the phosphorylation and concomitant inactivation of glycogen synthase, independent from cyclic AMP or Ca ions. The two activities co-purify throughout the purification scheme, and reside in the single protein band that the purified preparation shows in discontinuous acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Heat inactivation experiments with the purified protein showed a parallel decrease of both activities with time. GTP could efficiently replace the ATP in both reactions. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis also shows a single protein-stained band corresponding to a Mr = approximately 50,000 and sucrose density gradient centrifugation gave a value of 45,000. The enzyme incorporates only 1 mol of phosphate/mol of synthase monomer (85,000 daltons) and brings the activity ratio (+/- glucose-6-P) down to less than 0.05. Kinetic studies suggest that FA exerts its two activities in quite different ways: the activation of the ATP x Mg-dependent phosphatase is bought about by a protein-protein interaction (FA x FC complex formation) with ATP x Mg as a necessary cofactor, whereas for the inactivation of synthase, FA is a cyclic AMP- and Ca-independent kinase.

Acidotic depression of cyclic AMP accumulation and phosphorylase b to a transformation in skeletal muscle of man.

Intravenous infusion of adrenaline was performed in three healthy subjects on two occasions. In one case subjects performed a maximal isometric contraction before infusion. Biopsies were taken from the quadriceps femoris muscle before and after infusion for 0.5 and 2 min, and analysed for muscle pH, cyclic AMP, metabolites and activities of glycogen phosphorylase and synthetase. Isometric contraction resulted in a decrease of muscle pH to 6.60 (normal value at rest 7.0-7.1). By this experimental procedure the effect of adrenaline infusion could be studied on a muscle with normal pH and one with low pH. Cyclic AMP increased from 3 to about 9.5 mumol per kg dry weight after 0.5 min of adrenaline infusion. When isometric contraction preceded the infusion, cyclic AMP increased more slowly and was about 5.5 mumol per kg dry weight after the same time of infusion. Phosphorylase a constituted about 22% of total phosphorylase in resting muscle but increased rapidly to 80% after 0.5 min infusion. When exercise preceded infusion phosphorylase a decreased and was still lower after 2 min infusion. The results can be explained by inhibition of adenylcyclase and phosphorylase b kinase at low muscle pH.

Identification and characterization of a phosphorylation-activated, cyclic AMP and Ca2+-independent protein kinase in the brain.

A cyclic AMP and calcium-independent protein kinase has been identified and purified from pig brain to near homogeneity. This independent protein kinase was isolated in an inactive form, and activation required ATP and Mg2+. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified enzyme contains 1 subunit with a molecular mass of about 36 kDa. Although there was no significant phosphorylation of phosphorylase, phosphorylase b kinase, casein, phosvitin, and protamine, this kinase was found to be very active toward myelin basic protein and histones H1, 2A, and 2B. Trypsinolysis completely destroyed the kinase activity, indicating that this is not a protease-activated protein kinase. More interesting, this cAMP and calcium-independent protein kinase can be regulated by its state of phosphorylation. In its non-phosphorylated state, the kinase was essentially inactive but could be fully activated when the enzyme was phosphorylated up to a 1:1 molar ratio. Conversely, partial dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated enzyme was associated with a time-dependent decrease in the kinase activity and a loss of 32P. All the results taken together point out that this kinase is distinguished from all the reported protein kinases and may represent a previously undiscovered protein kinase. The results also provide initial evidence that a cascade activation mechanism may possibly be involved in the regulation of a protein kinase activity which is independent of cAMP and calcium.

Short-term feedback regulation of cAMP by accelerated degradation in rat tissues.

A recent study showed that cAMP analogs lowered cAMP levels in rat hepatocytes (Corbin, J.D., Beebe, S.J., and Blackmore, P.F. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 8731-8735). The present work demonstrates that cAMP analogs also lowered cAMP in a rapid, concentration-dependent manner in heart and fat cells. In order to determine if the cAMP-dependent protein kinase mediated this effect, techniques were developed to assay the protein kinase activity ratio in hepatocytes treated with cAMP analogs. The activation of protein kinase and phosphorylase in hepatocytes by 8-pCl phi S-cAMP (where 8-pCl phi S- indicates 8-parachlorothiophenyl-) was concentration-dependent and occurred in parallel to proportionate decreases in cAMP. More than 20% of the cAMP binding sites on the protein kinase were unoccupied at concentrations of 8-pCl phi S-cAMP that produced maximal cAMP lowering. Thus, the possibility that 8-pCl phi S-cAMP lowered cAMP by displacing it from protein kinase binding sites, making it available for hydrolysis, seemed unlikely. In adipocytes, the lowering of cAMP by 8-pCl phi S-cAMP occurred in parallel with increases in lipolysis and activation of low Km phosphodiesterase, suggesting that the phosphodiesterase was responsible for the cAMP lowering. Further evidence for this assertion was the finding that in hepatocytes preloaded with low concentrations of 8-pCl phi S-cAMP, glucagon lowered 8-pCl phi S-cAMP by about 50%, an amount similar to the cAMP lowering observed with 8-pCl phi S-cAMP treatment. The results were consistent with a cAMP-dependent protein kinase-catalyzed activation of a phosphodiesterase and suggested that 8-pCl phi S-cAMP-mediated hydrolysis of cAMP mimicked a physiologically significant response. The observation of this phenomenon in several tissues further suggested that it may be a general mechanism for dampening and terminating the hormonal signal through accelerated degradation of cAMP.

Protein inhibitors of phosphorylase phosphatase and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from rabbit skeleta muscle.

A heat-and acid-stable protein inhibitor of phosphorylase phosphatase is present in a highly purified preparation of protein inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle. Although these two inhibitors have strikingly similar properties to each other, such as sensitivity to trypsin and behavior on gel permeation chromatography, they can be separated by polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. This indicates that the phosphatase-inhibitory and kinase-inhibitory activities reside with different protein species. The inhibition of both the enzymes is not altered by incubating the inhibitor preparation with a general phosphoprotein phosphatase, with phosvitin kinase, or with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Inhibition of phosphorylase phosphatase is of a non-competitive type supporting the idea that the phosphatase inhibitor is not an alternative substrate for the enzyme. Inhibition of phosphatase activity is selective in that it does no occur when phosphorylated histone or phosphorylated protamine are used as substrates.

The inhibition of the insulin receptor by the receptor protein PC-1 is not specific and results from the hydrolysis of ATP.

The membrane protein plasma cell differentiation antigen 1 (PC-1) has been purified as an inhibitor of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of NIDDM. However, we show here that PC-1 is a general protein kinase inhibitor in vitro and that this inhibition results from the hydrolysis of ATP by the intrinsic nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity of PC-1. Thus, the inhibition diminished with increasing ATP concentrations, and it was nullified when the ATP concentration was kept constant with a regenerating system or when ATP was added repetitively. When care was taken to avoid ATP depletion, PC-1 did not affect the insulin sensitivity of insulin receptor autophosphorylation. We conclude that the reported inhibition of insulin signaling by PC-1 does not result from a direct inhibition of the insulin receptor kinase activity.
