Intact pig aortic strips were incubated in medium containing [32P]P1 and various Ca2+ concentrations. The 32P content of the myosin P-light chain was determined by radioautography after electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. Although treatment of the strips with noradrenaline always caused a rise in tension, this was not necessarily accompanied by increased phosphorylation of the P-light chain. These results indicate that, in aortic smooth muscle, phosphorylation of the P-light chain is not obligatory for contraction.  相似文献

We have studied the effect of myosin P-light chain phosphorylation on the isometric tension generated by skinned fibers from rabbit psoas muscle at 0.6 and 10 microM Ca2+. At the lower Ca2+ concentration, which produced 10-20% of the maximal isometric tension obtained at 10 microM Ca2+, addition of purified myosin light chain resulted in a 50% increase in isometric tension which correlated with an increase in P-light chain phosphorylation from 0.10 to 0.80 mol of phosphate/mol of P-light chain. Addition of a phosphoprotein phosphatase reversed the isometric tension response and dephosphorylated P-light chain. At the higher Ca2+ concentration, P-light chain phosphorylation was found to have little effect on isometric tension. Fibers prepared and stored at -20 degrees C in a buffer containing MgATP, KF, and potassium phosphate incorporated 0.80 mol of phosphate/mol of P-light chain. Addition of phosphoprotein phosphatase to these fibers incubated at 0.6 microM Ca2+ caused a reduction in isometric tension and dephosphorylation of the P-light chain. There was no difference before and after phosphorylation of P-light chain in the normalized force-velocity relationship for fibers at the lower Ca2+ concentration, and the extrapolated maximum shortening velocity was 2.2 fiber lengths/s. Our results suggest that in vertebrate skeletal muscle, P-light chain phosphorylation increases the force level at submaximal Ca2+ concentrations, probably by affecting the interaction between the myosin cross-bridge and the thin filament.  相似文献

1. On treatment of the perfused rabbit heart with adrenaline, the total covalently bound phosphate of troponin I increased from 1.14 mol of phosphate/mol to 1.86 mol of phosphate/mol. 2. Covalently bound phosphate could be identified only in the region of the molecule of cardiac troponin I consisting of residues 1--48. 3. When 32P-labelled orthophosphate was present in the perfusion medium the phosphate at serine-20 became radioactively labelled. This residue was the only significant site of phosphorylation that could be identified. 4. The addition of adrenaline caused a 4--5-fold increase in covalently bound [32P]phosphate. Virtually all of the 32P was located at serine-20. 5. It was concluded from these studies that the extent of phosphorylation of serine-20 of cardiac troponin I increased from 30--40% in the control perfused heart to about 100% in the presence of adrenaline.  相似文献

The phosphate content of the fast (LC2F) and two slow (LC2S and LC2S1) phosphorylatable light chains (P-light chains) in myosin isolated from biopsy samples of rested human vastus lateralis muscle averaged 0.21, 0.28 and 0.25 mol of phosphate per mol of P-light chain, respectively. Following a 10 s maximal contraction, phosphate content was increased by almost 2-fold in the fast and two slow P-light chains. After prolonged, moderate cycling activity phosphate content was only slightly increased in the three P-light chains. These data suggest that, unlike animal skeletal muscle, myosin light chain kinase and phosphatase activities are similar in human fast and slow muscle fibres.  相似文献

Studies on the light-stimulated phosphorylation of rod outer segments by [gamma-32P]ATP showed that although nearly 1 mol of [32P]phosphate was incorporated/mol of total opsin, only a small fraction of the molecules were phosphorylated, and these contained at least 2-3 mol of phosphate/mol. Rod outer segments containing the phosphorylated opsin were incubated with 11-cis-retinal to generate phosphorylated rhodopsin and then digested with papain to produce a cleaved complex comprising three fragments, heavy (H), medium (M) and light (L). It was shown that L-fragment of apparent mol.wt. 6000 contained all the phosphorylation sites. This suggests that one specific domain of rhodopsin is susceptible to multiple phosphorylation.  相似文献

The phosphorylation of myosin light chain was quantitated in fast and slow chicken skeletal muscles and in frog sartorius and semitendinosus muscles. The phosphate content of light chain was determined either as moles [32P]phosphate per mole of light chain in 32P-labeled muscles or as percentage phosphorylated light chain of the total P-light chain, measured by densitometry after separating the phospho and dephospho forms of P-light chain with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Both methods revealed that the percentage of total P-light chain which was phosphorylated did not exceed 50% either in maximally tetanized or caffeine-contracted skeletal muscle. This suggests that one of the two P-light chains is selectively phosphorylated in skeletal muscle.  相似文献

Twitch tension and maximal unloaded velocity of human knee extensor muscles were studied under conditions of low phosphate content of the phosphorylatable light chains (P-light chains) of myosin and elevated phosphate content, following a 10-s maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC). After the MVC, twitch tension was significantly potentiated, with greater potentiation observed at a shorter muscle length (p less than 0.05). The MVC was associated with at least a twofold increase in phosphate content of the fast (LC2F) and two slow (LC2S and LC2S') P-light chains, but this increase was unrelated to muscle length. No significant differences in knee extension velocity were observed between conditions where P-light chains had low or elevated phosphate content. Positive but nonsignificant correlations were noted between the extent of twitch potentiation and phosphate content of individual P-light chains as well as the percentage of type II muscle fibres in vastus lateralis muscle. No significant relationships were determined for myosin light chain kinase activity and either P-light chain phosphorylation or type II fibre percentage. These data suggest that, unlike other mammalian fast muscles, P-light chain phosphorylation of mixed human muscles is not strongly associated with altered contractile performance.  相似文献

Calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase phosphorylates two light chain subunits on each myosin molecule. We have developed a method for measuring nonphosphorylated, monophosphorylated, and diphosphorylated forms of myosin in smooth muscle. Four protein bands were separated in tissue extracts by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of pyrophosphate. Immunoblots demonstrated that three forms (designated M, MP, and MP2) reacted with rabbit antisera prepared against the purified phosphorylatable light chain (P-light chain) from bovine tracheal smooth muscle. Evidence was obtained that M, MP, and MP2 represented nonphosphorylated, monophosphorylated, and diphosphorylated myosin, respectively, and that the other protein band was probably filamin. The formation of different phosphorylated forms of myosin was measured in bovine trachealis strips neurally stimulated from 1.0 to 3.5 s and quick-frozen. There was no detectable MP or MP2 in unstimulated muscles; the extent of P-light chain phosphorylation measured directly was 0.02 +/- 0.01 mol of phosphate/mol of P-light chain. After 2.5-s stimulation, maximal values of 0.63 +/- 0.06 mol of phosphate/mol of P-light chain and 0.40 +/- 0.06 MP2/myosintotal were obtained. During continuous neural stimulation from 1.0 to 3.5 s, the relationship between the extent of P-light chain phosphorylation (measured directly or calculated) and the relative amount of MP2 is consistent with a random phosphorylation process.  相似文献

Phosphorylation of phospholipids was studied in Langendorff perfused guinea pig hearts subjected to beta-adrenergic stimulation. Hearts were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing [32P]Pi and freeze-clamped in a control condition or at the peak of the inotropic response to isoprenaline. 32P incorporation into total phospholipids, individual phospholipids and polyphosphoinositides was analysed in whole tissue homogenates and membranes, enriched in sarcoplasmic reticulum, prepared from the same hearts. Isoprenaline stimulation of the hearts did not result in any significant changes in the levels of phosphate incorporation in the total phospholipid present in cardiac homogenates (11.6 +/- 0.4 nmol of 32P/g for control hearts and 12.4 +/- 0.5 nmol of 32P/g for isoprenaline-treated hearts; n = 6), although there was a significant increase in the degree of phospholipid phosphorylation in sarcoplasmic reticulum (3.5 +/- 0.3 nmol of 32P/mg for control hearts and 6.7 +/- 0.2 nmol of 32P/mg for isoprenaline-treated hearts; n = 6). Analysis of 32P incorporation into individual phospholipids and polyphosphoinositides revealed that isoprenaline stimulation of the hearts was associated with a 2-3-fold increase in the degree of phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol monophosphate and bisphosphate as well as phosphatidic acid in both cardiac homogenates and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. In addition, there was increased phosphate incorporation into phosphatidylinositol in sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. Thus, perfusion of guinea pig hearts with isoprenaline is associated with increased formation of polyphosphoinositides and these phospholipids may be involved, at least in part, in mediating the effects of beta-adrenergic agents in the mammalian heart.  相似文献

The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the phosphorylation of bovine cardiac troponin by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The purified troponin-tropomyosin complex from beef heart contained 0.78 +/- 0.15 mol of phosphate per mol of protein. Analysis of the isolated protein components indicated that the endogenous phosphate was predominately in the inhibitory subunit (TN-I) and the tropomyosin-binding subunit (TN-T) of troponin. When cardiac troponin or the troponin-tropomyosin complex was incubated with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP, the rate of phosphorylation was stimulated by cyclic AMP and inhibited by the heat-stable protein inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The 32P was incorporated specifically into the TN-I subunit with a maximal incorporation of 1 mol of phosphate per mol of protein. The maximal amount of phosphate incorporated did not vary significantly between troponin preparations that contained low or high amounts of endogenous phosphate. The Vmax of the initial rates of phosphorylation with troponin or troponin-tropomyosin as substrates was 3.5-fold greater than the value obtained with unfractionated histones. The rate or extent of phosphorylation was not altered by actin in the presence or absence of Ca2+. The maximal rate of phosphorylation occurred between pH 8.5 and 9.0. At pH 6.0 and 7.0 the maximal rates of phosphorylation were 13 and 45% of that observed at pH 8.5, respectively. These results indicate that cyclic AMP formation in cardiac muscle may be associated with the rapid and specific phosphorylation of the TN-I subunit of troponin. The presence of endogenous phosphate in TN-T and TN-I suggests that kinases other than cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase may also phosphorylate troponin in vivo.  相似文献

Conditions are described for the preparation of functional myofibrils and myosin light chains from freeze-clamped beating hearts with the state of light chain phosphorylation chemically 'frozen' during the extraction procedure. Myofibrils were shown to be functionally intact by measurement of Ca2+ binding and ATPase activity. Highly purified cardiac myosin light chains could be routinely isolated from myofibrillar preparations using ethanol fractionation together with ion-exchange chromatography. Analysis of light chains for covalent phosphate indicated that basal levels of phosphorylation of the 18--20 000 dalton light chain of myosin in rabbit hearts beating in situ or in a perfusion apparatus were 0.3--0.4 mol/mol. Covalent phosphate content of the light chain fraction did not change during perfusion of hearts with 10 microM epinephrine.  相似文献

Pieces of rat epididymal adipose tissue were incubated in medium containing [32P]phosphate for 2 h to achieve steady-state labelling of intracellular phosphoproteins and then with or without hormones for a further 15 min. Phosphofructokinase was rapidly isolated from the tissue by use of either Blue Dextran-Sepharose chromatography or immunoprecipitation with antisera raised against phosphofructokinase purified from rat interscapular brown adipose tissue. Similar extents of incorporation of 32P into phosphofructokinase were measured by both techniques. Exposure of the tissue to adrenaline or the beta-agonist isoprenaline increased phosphorylation by about 5-fold (to about 1.4 mol of phosphate/mol of enzyme tetramer). No change in phosphorylation was detected with the alpha-agonist phenylephrine, but exposure to insulin resulted in an approx. 2-fold increase. The increased phosphorylation observed with isoprenaline was found to be associated with a decrease in the apparent Ka for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate similar to that observed on phosphorylation of phosphofructokinase purified from rat epididymal white adipose tissue with the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. These results support the view [Sale & Denton (1985) Biochem. J. 232, 897-904] that an increase in cyclic AMP in adipose tissue may result in an increase in glycolysis through the phosphorylation of phosphofructokinase by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.  相似文献

In isolated rat liver cells, the inhibition of L-pyruvate kinase (L-PK) by a cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation mechanism is involved in the hormonal control of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether or not the in vivo phosphorylation state of the enzyme was maintained during the liver perfusion used to prepare isolated liver cells. When the L-PK phosphorylation state was studied indirectly in liver extracts by kinetic measurement, it was found that, during the perfusion, the S0.5 of phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) for L-PK was decreased in a time-dependent manner from 1 +/- 0.08 to 0.64 +/- 0.1 mM (P less than 0.01) and 0.58 +/- 0.06 mM in liver cells. This shift was prevented only by the addition of glucagon to the perfusion medium. The extent of phosphorylation of L-PK was also estimated by incubation of the liver extract with [gamma-32P]ATP, protein kinase, and cyclic AMP, and measurement of 32Pi incorporated in L-PK by specific immunoprecipitation. In liver extracts removed at the beginning of the perfusion, 0.4 mol Pi/mol L-PK was incorporated and there was no stimulation by cyclic AMP. In contrast, in the liver extracts removed after 30 min of perfusion, cyclic AMP stimulated 32P incorporation two to threefold, and 1.6 mol Pi/mol L-PK was incorporated. These data suggest that L-PK was activated by a dephosphorylation mechanism during rat liver perfusion. This phenomenon could be involved in the classical inactivation of gluconeogenesis observed in the perfused rat liver model.  相似文献

Phosphorylation of NaI-treated bovine brain cortex microsomes by inorganic phosphate in the presence of Mg2+ and ouabain has been studied at 0 degrees C (pH 7.4) and 20 degrees C (pH 7.0). Nearly maximal (90%) and half-maximal phosphorylation are achieved at 20 degrees C within 2 min with 50--155 and 5.6--17 muM 32Pi, respectively, and at 0 degrees C within 75 s with 300--600 and 33--66 muM 32Pi, respectively. Maximal phosphorylation yields 146 pmol 32P - mg-1 protein. Without ouabain (20 degrees C, pH 7.0) less than 25% of the incorporation observed in the presence of ouabain is reached. Preincubation of the native microsomes with Mg2+ and K+, in order to decompose possibly present high-energy phosphoryl-bonds prior to ouabain treatment, does not affect the maximal phosphate incorporation. This indicates that the inorganic phosphate incorporation is not due to an exchange with high-energy phosphoryl-bonds, which might have been preserved in the microsomal preparations. Phosphorylation of the native microsomes by ATP in the presence of Mg2+ and Na+ reaches 90 and 50% maximal levels within 15--30 s at 0 degrees C and pH 7.4 at concentrations of [gamma-32P]ATP of 5--32 and 0.5--3.5 muM, respectively. The maximal phosphorylation level is 149 pmol 32P-mg-1 protein, equal to that of ouabain-treated microsomes phosphorylated by inorganic phosphate. Both inorganic phosphate and ATP phosphorylate on site per active enzyme subunit of 135 000 molecular weight. From the equilibrium constants for the phosphorylation of ouabain-treated microsomes by inorganic phosphate at 0 degrees C and 20 degrees C standard free-energy changes of --5.4 and --6.8 kcal/mol, respectively, are calculated. These values yield a standard enthalpy change of 14 kcal/mol and an entropy change of 70 cal/mol - degree K. This characterizes the reaction as a process driven by an entropy change. The intermediate formed by phosphorylation with Pi has maximal stability at acidic pH, as is the case for the intermediate formed with ATP. Solubilization in sodium dodecyl sulfate stabilizes the phosphoryl-bond in the pH range of 4--7. The non-solubilized preparation has optimal stability at pH 2--4, the level of which is equal to that of detergent-solubilized intermediate. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of the microsomes at pH 3, following incorporation of 32Pi yields 11 protein bands, only one of which (mol. wt 100 000--106 000) carries the radioactive label. This protein has the same molecular weight as the protein, which is phosphorylated by ATP in the presence of Mg2+ and Na+.  相似文献

Myosin light-chain phosphatase.   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5       下载免费PDF全文
1. A method for the isolation of a new enzyme, myosin light-chain phosphatase, from rabbit white skeletal muscle by using a Sepharose-phosphorylated myosin light-chain affinity column is described. 2. The enzyme migrated as a single component on electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gel at pH7.0, with apparent mol.wt. 70000. 3. The enzyme was highly specific for the phosphorylated P-light chain of myosin, had pH optima at 6.5 and 8.0 and was not inhibited by NaF. 4. A Ca2+-sensitive 'ATPase' (adenosine triphosphatase) system consisting of myosin light-chain kinase, myosin light-chain phosphatase and the P-light chain is described. 5. Evidence is presented for a phosphoryl exchange between Pi, phosphorylated P-light chain and myosin light-chain phosphatase. 6. Heavy meromyosin prepared by chymotryptic digestion can be phosphorylated by myosin light-chain kinase. 7. The ATPase activities of myosin and heavy meromyosin, in the presence and absence of F-actin, were not significantly changed (+/- 10%) by phosphorylation of the P-light chain.  相似文献

Perfused rat hearts were treated with isoprenaline (10?6M) or ouabain (5.5 × 10?6M). The phosphate contents of troponin-I and myosin P light chains were established by radiolabelling with 32P; in the case of the light chains, direct chemical analysis of total and of specifically alkali-labile phosphate was also performed. Addition of isoprenaline caused phosphorylation of both troponin-I and myosin P light chains, reaching a maximum increment, after several minutes, of 1 mol/mol and 0.30 mol/mol, respectively. The Mg2+-ATPase activities, at saturating Ca2+ concentrations, of natural actomyosin isolated from treated hearts were significantly depressed, and an inverse correlation was established between the phosphate content of troponin-I and the Vmax[Ca2+] of this ATPase activity. The Ca2+ sensitivity of the Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase was also decreased. These changes were all reversed by an incubation permitting dephosphorylation of proteins by endogenous phosphatases.Treatment of hearts with ouabain caused no increment in troponin-I phosphorylation, but increased the P light chain phosphate content to a maximum of 0.30 mol/mol after some minutes. A positive correlation was evident between phosphate content of the light chains (in all experiments) and the maximum myosin Ca2+-ATPase activities. In addition, the Vmax[ATP] of the Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase of natural actomyosin was increased when light chain phosphorylation had occurred in the absence of troponin-I phosphorylation. P-light chain phosphorylation did not affect the Ca2+ sensitivity of Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase activity.We suggest that the effects of phosphorylation of troponin-I are to diminish thin filament sensitivity to Ca2+, and to decrease the efficiency of the transduction process along neighbouring actin monomers, such that the number of actin-myosin crossbridge interactions is decreased even in the presence of Ca2+ excess. Phosphorylation of P light chains of myosin has an activating effect on myosin Ca2+-ATPase activity, as well as on the rate of cross-bridge formation.  相似文献

In vitro and in situ studies have proposed a potentiation of submaximal force production after myosin light chain 2 (P-light chain) phosphorylation in mammalian striated muscle. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationship between the augmentation in left ventricular pressure development and cardiac myosin P-light chain phosphorylation at different times during and after submaximal treadmill exercise involving adult female Sprague-Dawley rats. In vivo hemodynamic measurements were monitored with an indwelling high-fidelity solid-state pressure transducer. Exercise heart rate, peak left ventricular (LV) pressure, and rate of LV pressure development/relaxation (LV +/- dP/dt) were significantly elevated compared with a normal sedentary group (P less than 0.001). Peak LV pressure remained significantly elevated throughout 20 min of postexercise recovery (P less than 0.01), and heart rate, LV end-diastolic pressure, and LV +/- dP/dt returned rapidly to preexercise values. Corresponding to these in vivo hemodynamic changes, increased levels of P-light chain phosphorylation were observed during both exercise (16%, P less than 0.01) and subsequent recovery periods (14%, P less than 0.02) compared with the NC group. A quasi-temporal relationship was observed between postexercise peak LV pressure potentiation and P-light chain phosphorylation. These results demonstrate that cardiac myosin P-light chain phosphorylation is associated, in part, with the augmentation of peak LV pressure observed during both exercise and recovery.  相似文献

Phosphorylation of rodent cardiac myosin light chain 2: effects of exercise   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the degree of cardiac myosin light chain 2 (P-light chain) phosphorylation occurs as a function of changes in cardiovascular functional state as induced by 1) treadmill exercise (20-27 m/min, 0% grade for 20, 30, 45 min) (phase I) and 2) pharmacological intervention (phase II) in adult female Sprague-Dawley rats. It was hypothesized that cardiac myosin phosphorylation is regulated in accordance with time-dependent sustained elevations in myocardial work demands requiring alterations in either heart rate or left ventricular pressure development. Exercise heart rates (HR) and double products (HR x DP) were equivalent among the three exercise groups and were significantly elevated in comparison with the normal-rest (NR) group (P less than 0.05). In phase II, isoproterenol elicited higher HR, although the atenolol group exhibited a marked reduction in HR, mean arterial pressure, and double product relative to NR (P less than 0.05). Percent myosin P-light chain phosphorylation exhibited both a HR- and a work load-dependent modulation in P-light chain levels (-9% to +23% change) in the two phases of the study (P less than 0.05). These data are consistent with the view that the above responses are associated with modulations in intracellular calcium concentrations commensurate with the alterations in HR and left ventricular pressure. Also, elevations in P-light chain phosphorylation could serve to augment left ventricular pressure development under these functional states.  相似文献

1. Rat hearts were perfused with 32Pi, and contractile force was increased by positive inotropic agents (agents that increase contractility). The inhibitory subunit of troponin (troponin I) was then isolated by affinity chromatography in 8M-urea, and its 32P content measured. Incorporation of phosphate into the subunit was calculated on the basis of the [gamma-32P]ATP specific radioactivity in the hearts. 2. When hearts were perfused with 30 nM-DL-isoprenaline (N-isopropylnoradrenaline), there was an increase in contractile force over 30s which was paralleled by an increase in troponin I phosphorylation. When hearts were perfused for 25s with increasing concentrations of isoprenaline from 1 NM to 0.6 muM, there was again a parallel increase in contractile force and troponin I phosphorylation. The maximum phosphorylation observed was 1.5 mol of phosphate/mol of troponin I, which was reached after 25s with 0.1 muM-isoprenaline. 3. Hearts were stimulated with a 15s pulse perfusion of 30nM-DL-isoprenaline. There was an increase in contractile force which was followed by a return to the control value within 50s. Troponin I phosphorylation increased to a plateau value which was reached within 30s, and remained constant for 60s after the isoprenaline pulse. Phosphorylase a and 3':5'-cyclic AMP concentration showed changes similar to that of the contractile force. There was no change in 3':5'-cyclic GMP concentration. 4. When hearts stimulated with a 15S pulse of isoprenaline were subsequently perfused with 0.6 muM-acetylcholine, the changes in contractile force, phosphorylase a and 3':5'-cyclic AMP were very similar to those seen with the 15s pulse of isoprenaline alone. Troponin I phosphorylation increased to a maximum 30s after the end of the isoprenaline pulse, but then rapidly decreased during the subsequent 30s. This decrease was preceded by a 60% increase in the concentration of 3':5'-cyclic GMP. 5. Hearts were perfused with 0.2 muM-glucagon for periods up to 60s. Contractile force showed little change for the first 30s, but then increased rapidly. This was paralleled by changes in 3':5'-cyclic AMP concentration. Troponin I phosphorylation increased slowly, but the increase in contractile force had reached a maximum before significant phosphorylation had occurred. 6. It is concluded that under certain conditions, e.g. immediately after beta-adrenergic stimulation, there is a good correlation between contractile force and troponin I phosphorylation. However, under other conditions, e.g. when contractile force is decreasing after removal of beta-adrenergic stimulation or in the presence of glucagon, contractile force and troponin I phosphorylation are not well correlated. These results suggest that mechanisms for modifying cardiac contractility, other than troponin I phosphorylation, must be present in rat heart.  相似文献

The potential correlations between phosphorylase kinase subunit phosphorylation and activation have been examined using 32P-perfused rat hearts exposed to a variety of hormonal stimuli. Phosphate incorporation was measured after isolation of the enzyme by immunoprecipitation from heart extracts. Time courses of catecholamine or glucagon treatment produced a rapid rise in both the activity and the beta subunit phosphorylation of the enzyme, and a slightly slower increase in alpha' subunit phosphorylation. For short durations of catecholamine stimulation, the ratio of phosphate in the alpha' versus beta subunit was dependent upon hormone dose. After removal of hormone, both inactivation and alpha' subunit dephosphorylation were fairly slow, while the beta subunit was dephosphorylated more rapidly. For all of the above conditions, activation correlated with both alpha' and beta subunit phosphorylation. The maximum level of phosphate incorporation observed in response to hormonal stimulation is estimated to be approximately 1.3-1.7 mol of [32P]phosphate/mol of (alpha' beta gamma delta)4, divided about equally between the alpha' and beta subunits. When hearts were treated with hormone either in the absence of added calcium or in the presence of a calcium channel blocker, the time courses of subunit phosphorylation and activation were similar to those seen with standard perfusion conditions, suggesting that if any Ca2+-dependent autophosphorylation of phosphorylase kinase were occurring it does not make a major contribution to the observed hormonal responses. The complicated relationships observed here between phosphorylase kinase subunit phosphorylation and activation for the most part provide physiological affirmation of the patterns observed in vitro, but they also show some possible differences of potential interest.  相似文献
