Phosphorylation of the alpha-chain of fibrinogen by a platelet kinase activity enhanced by interferon

Treatment of patients with interferon or inducers of interferon results in an enhanced level of a protein kinase activity found in platelets (1,3). The kinase activity is responsible for the phosphorylation of a 70-72,000 molecular weight protein (72K protein) found in blood plasma. By the means of a technique based on the precipitation of this protein kinase system (the protein kinase and its substrate), we show here that the 72K protein is the alpha-chain of fibrinogen. During the coagulation process induced by thrombin, the 32P-labelled 72K protein is recovered in the clot. After incubation in the presence of thrombin, the 72K protein looses a small polypeptide of 2-3000 in molecular weight resulting a shift in its isoelectric point (pI) from 6.8-7.0 to 7.5. At the end of the coagulation process, the 32P-labelled 72K protein becomes undetectable since it gives rise to a covalently linked alpha-polymer of a high molecular weight. In accord with these results, the 72K protein could be precipitated by antibodies against human fibrinogen.     

Assay of interferon-mediated protein kinase activity from plasma and tissue extracts

Interferon-treated mouse and human cells show enhanced levels of a protein kinase activity which is manifested by the phosphorylation of endogenous 67,000 and 72,000 Mr proteins, respectively. Enhanced levels of such kinase activity are also detectable in the plasma of patients treated with interferon and in the plasma and tissues of interferon-treated mice. A rapid and efficient method of assay for these protein kinase activities is described. The samples are first incubated with heparin (100 units/ml), which results in the inhibition of different protein kinase activities, but not the one mediated by interferon. The latter one is then assayed after partial purification on poly(rI):(rC)-Sepharose or poly(rG)-Sepharose. The protein kinase from human and mouse cells in culture and from the different tissues of mice binds specifically to poly(rI):(rC)-Sepharose. On the other hand, the protein kinase activity from both mouse and human plasma shows a higher affinity toward poly(rG)-Sepharose. These methods are successfully applied for the determination of the interferon-mediated protein kinase activity from tissue extracts and plasma.     

Synthesis of two non-phosphorylated proteins induced in mouse L-cells by homologous interferon

We have shown that two proteins P1 and P2 of M_r 43000 and 40800 are always detected by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of interferon-treated mouse L-929 cell extract. These two proteins have an isoelectric point of pH 4.6 and pH 4.7 respectively. If Pl is detectable in small amount in the control gels, P2 is completely absent. Actinomycin D added at the same time as interferon, prevents both P1 and P2 synthesis, but enhances their production when added between 4 to 6 h after interferon. Using molecular weight and isoelectric point as criteria, we have tried to compare P1 and P2 to enzymes induced by interferon. With double-labelled two-dimensional gels by |³⁵S| methionine and |γ³²P| ATP, we have shown that neither P1 nor P2 is phosphorylated. This experimental procedure has allowed us to obtain new data on substrates phosphorylared by interferon induced protein kinase.

Regulation of the intracellular calcium level in human blood platelets: Cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate dependent phosphorylation of a 22 000 dalton component in isolated Ca2+-accumulating vesicles

Two protein kinase activities have been separated from the supernatants of homogenized human blood platelets by DEAE cellulose chromatography. One of them (peak I enzyme) is an efficient stimulator of the uptake of Ca²⁺ into isolated membrane vesicles in the presence of cyclic AMP and ATP. The second (peak II enzyme), although equally active towards histone, exerts only about one third of the activity of the peak I enzyme. The stimulation of Ca²⁺ uptake is accompanied by the phosphorylation of a membrane protein with an apparent molecular weight of 22 000, which appears to play an essential role in the regulation of the intracellular Ca²⁺ level and hence of platelet activity.     

A 67-kDa plasma-membrane-bound Ca2+-stimulated protein kinase active in sink tissue of higher plants

A novel 67-kDa protein kinase (p67 ^cdpk ) was identified in the microsomal membrane fraction of apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Braeburn) suspension cultures and subsequently found to be active in sink tissues. Microsomal proteins were blotted onto Nylon or polyvinylidenedifluoride membranes, and p67 ^cdpk assayed by in situ-labelling renatured proteins with [γ-³²P]ATP; thin-layer electrophoresis/thin-layer chromatography of acid hydrolysates of the ³²P-labelled protein band indicated that serine and threonine, but not tyrosine residues were phosphorylated. A detailed analysis of the ion-dependency of p67 ^cdpk revealed that it was a Ca²⁺-stimulated, Mg²⁺-dependent protein kinase. However, p67 ^cdpk was ten times more active in the presence of 10 mM Mn²⁺, and these assay conditions were used routinely to increase the sensitivity of the assay. Activity of p67 ^cdpk was found at high levels in the plasma membrane, and solubilisation experiments with a number of detergents suggested that p67 ^cdpk is an integral membrane protein. A homologous protein kinase with similar biochemical properties was also present in cell-suspension cultures of pear and maize. In maize (Zea mays L.) plants, sink tissues, such as young expanding leaves of both light-grown and etiolated plants, mature etiolated tissue and roots all had high levels of p67 ^cdpk activity. However, mature light-grown (source) tissues had barely detectable levels. In etiolated maize leaves and coleoptiles the kinase activity was highest in expanding tissue and decreased as the cells expanded. When etiolated maize plants were exposed to light, the activity of p67 ^cdpk was reduced to background levels after 8 h. Although p67 ^cdpk has biochemical properties similar to those of other plant calcium-dependent protein kinases, this is the first identification of a membrane-bound calcium-dependent protein kinase which is specifically active in sink tissues.

A calcium-dependent protein kinase is present in tetrahymena

A Ca²⁺-dependent protein kinase of Tetrahymena thermophila has been partially purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the enzyme is less than that of similar enzymes (for example protein kinase C), being about 55 kDa. After purification and in the presence of Ca²⁺ the enzyme activity increased. The promoter of protein kinase C (PKC) activity, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), increased the activity while the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 decreased the activity of the enzyme. The experiments demonstrate the presence, activity and similarity to vertebrate enzymes of a protein kinase at a low level of phylogeny.

Membrane-associated protein kinase activities in the developing mesocarp of grape berry

Fruit development is a process involving various signals and gene expression. Protein phosphorylation catalyzed by protein kinases is known to play a key role in eukaryotic cell signalling and so may be involved in the regulation of fruit development. Using the method of exogenous substrate phosphorylation, we characterised the calcium-dependent and calmodulin-independent protein kinase (CDPK) activity and the myelin basic protein (MBP)-phosphoralating activity that could be due to a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-like activity in the developing mesocarp of grape berry. The CDPK activity was shown to be predominantly localised in the plasma membrane, while the MAPK-like activity was predominantly associated with endomembranes. The assays of bivalent cation requirement showed that Mn2+ could to a certain extent replace Mg2+ in the incubation system for the protein kinase activities. Both CDPK and MAPK-like activities were resistant to heat treatment. The activities of the two enzymes were fruit developmental stage-specific with the highest activities of both enzymes in the lag growth phase before the ripening stage, suggesting strongly the important roles of the detected CDPK and MAPK-like activities in the fruit development.     

Regulation of actin function by protein kinase A‐mediated phosphorylation of Limk1

Proper regulation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A, PKA) is necessary for cellular homeostasis, and dysregulation of this kinase is crucial in human disease. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking the PKA regulatory subunit Prkar1a show altered cell morphology and enhanced migration. At the molecular level, these cells showed increased phosphorylation of cofilin, a crucial modulator of actin dynamics, and these changes could be mimicked by stimulating the activity of PKA. Previous studies of cofilin have shown that it is phosphorylated primarily by the LIM domain kinases Limk1 and Limk2, which are under the control of the Rho GTPases and their downstream effectors. In Prkar1a^−/− MEFs, neither Rho nor Rac was activated; rather, we showed that PKA could directly phosphorylate Limk1 and thus enhance the phosphorylation of cofilin. These data indicate that PKA is crucial in cell morphology and migration through its ability to modulate directly the activity of LIM kinase.     

Anchored phosphatases modulate glucose homeostasis

Endocrine release of insulin principally controls glucose homeostasis. Nutrient-induced exocytosis of insulin granules from pancreatic β-cells involves ion channels and mobilization of Ca²⁺ and cyclic AMP (cAMP) signalling pathways. Whole-animal physiology, islet studies and live-β-cell imaging approaches reveal that ablation of the kinase/phosphatase anchoring protein AKAP150 impairs insulin secretion in mice. Loss of AKAP150 impacts L-type Ca²⁺ currents, and attenuates cytoplasmic accumulation of Ca²⁺ and cAMP in β-cells. Yet surprisingly AKAP150 null animals display improved glucose handling and heightened insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle. More refined analyses of AKAP150 knock-in mice unable to anchor protein kinase A or protein phosphatase 2B uncover an unexpected observation that tethering of phosphatases to a seven-residue sequence of the anchoring protein is the predominant molecular event underlying these metabolic phenotypes. Thus anchored signalling events that facilitate insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis may be set by AKAP150 associated phosphatase activity.     

High molecular weight calmodulin-binding protein is phosphorylated by calmodulin-dependent protein kinase VI from bovine cardiac muscle

A high molecular weight calmodulin-binding protein (HMW CaMBP) from bovine heart cytosolic fraction was purified to apparent homogeneity. A novel CaM-dependent protein kinase was originally discovered when the total CaM-binding protein fraction from cardiac muscle was loaded on a gel filtration column. The CaM-dependent protein kinase was shown by gel filtration chromatography to have an apparent molecular mass of 36,000 daltons. The CaM-dependent protein kinase has been highly purified by sequential chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose C1 6B (to remove calmodulin), CaM-Sepharose 4B, phosphocellulose, Sepharose 6B gel filtration and Mono S column chromatographies. The highly purified protein kinase stoichiometrically phosphorylated the HMW CaMBP in a Ca²⁺/CaM-dependent manner. The phosphorylation resulted in the maximal incorporation of 1 mol of phosphate/mol of the HMW CaMBP. The distinct substrate specificity of this protein kinase indicates that it is not related to the known protein kinases (I, II, III, IV and V) that have been already characterized, therefore we would like to designate this novel kinase as a CaM-dependent protein kinase V1.     

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin causes an increase in protein kinases growth hepatic associated with epidermal factor receptor in the plasma membrane

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), administered to male rats at a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection dose of 25 μg/kg causes down-regulation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor in the plasma membrane of rat liver which starts after two days and continues throughout the experimental period (20 days). Using monoclonal antibody to EGF receptor, it was determined that TCDD-caused EFG receptor down-regulation in the rat liver was accompanied by increased protein kinase activity. Such an increase in the protein kinase activity involves, at least in part, an activation of protein tyrosine kinase. Examination of serum samples from control and treated rats revealed no detectable difference in the level of EGF itself or EGF receptor-reacting substances (eg, hormones and other growth factors). In vivo TCDD caused early eye opening and tooth eruption and poor body weight gain and hair growth in mouse neonates similar to those observed with exogenously administered EGE The results indicate that such EGF receptor–mediated effect of TCDD has some toxocilogical significance in vivo. Although TCDD causes significant reduction in [¹²⁵I]-EGF binding in the hepatic plasma membrane in susceptible strains of mice, it has only modest effects in tolerant strains. The results are consistent with the idea that the action of TCDD on the EGF receptor is mediated through the cytosoliclnuclear TCDD receptor, which is known to be regulated by the Ah locus.     

Further characterization of the protein kinase activity mediated by interferon in mouse and human cells

Interferon-treated mouse and human cells show enhanced levels of a protein kinase activity which is manifested by the phosphorylation of endogenous Mr = 67,000 and 72,000 proteins, respectively. Such kinase activity can be assayed after its partial purification on poly(I) X poly(C)-Sepharose. Under these experimental conditions, the apparent km of the kinase for ATP is 1.0 X 10(-6) M and 2.5 X 10(-6) M in enzyme fractions from mouse L-929 and human HeLa cells, respectively. The Mr = 67,000 and 72,000 proteins are phosphorylated by their serine and threonine residues, the ratio of which is modified in preparations from interferon-treated cells. Both of these phosphoproteins are composed of several subspecies with similar isoelectric points (pIs) in the range of 7.2 to 8.2. This heterogeneity is due to the number of phosphate groups per molecule of protein. Accordingly, the pIs of highly phosphorylated proteins are at a less basic pH (7.2 to 7.5). Furthermore, highly phosphorylated proteins show an increase in their apparent molecular weights compared to partially phosphorylated ones. This corresponds to an increase of Mr = 1,500. Partial proteolysis of the 32P-labeled Mr = 67,000 and 72,000 proteins by Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, alpha-chymotrypsin and thrombin, indicated that these phosphoproteins differ in their polypeptide structure. Phosphorylation of the Mr = 67,000 and 72,000 proteins in enzyme fractions from control L-929 and HeLa cells is enhanced by mixing with extracts from interferon-treated heterologous cells. Proteins, Mr = 67,000 and 72,000, therefore, may serve as suitable substrates for an exogenous kinase, thus indicating that the substrate in enzyme fractions from control cells is less phosphorylated because of a low level of kinase activity.     

Determination of Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase in rat liver membranes

A method has been developed to measure the Ca²⁺- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase in membrane fractions. The method is based on the fact that this enzyme is resistant to comparatively high concentrations of octyglycoside. Rat liver membranes were treated with octylglycoside and the phosphate incorporation from |-³²P]ATP was measured in the presence of histone H1. The enzyme activity was determined as the difference between the incorporation obtained after addition of Ca²⁺ and phosphatidylserine and the incorporation obtained without these additions but with EGTA. The endogenous incorporation of phosphate to membrane components was constant under these incubation conditions. The conditions for determination of the membrane-bound enzyme were optimized. Two thirds of the total enzymic activity was attached to membranes in rat liver cells. A highly purified plasma membrane preparation had the highest specific activity, while most of the bound enzyme was found in microsomes, an only traces were found in mitochondria.     

Calcium-dependent protein kinase in the green algaChara

Cytoplasmic streaming in the characean algae is inhibited by micromolar rises in the level of cytosolic free Ca²⁺, but both the mechanism of action and the molecular components involved in this process are unknown. We have used monoclonal antibodies against soybean Ca²⁺-dependent protein kinase (CDPK), a kinase that is activated by micromolar Ca²⁺ and co-localizes with actin filaments in higher-plant cells (Putnam-Evans et al., 1989, Cell Motil. Cytoskel.12, 12–22) to identify and localize its characean homologue. Immunoblot analysis revealed that CDPK inChara corralina Klein ex. Wild shares the same relative molecular mass (51–55 kDa) as the kinase purified from soybean, and after electrophoresis in denaturing gels is capable of phosphorylating histone III-S in a Ca²⁺-dependent manner. Immunofluorescence microscopy localized CDPK inChara to the subcortical actin bundles and the surface of small organelles and other membrane components of the streaming endoplasm. The endoplasmic sites carrying CDPK were extracted from internodal cells by vacuolar perfusion with 1 mM ATP or 10^–4 M Ca²⁺. Both the localization of CDPK and its extraction from internodal cells by perfusion with ATP or high Ca²⁺ are properties similar to that reported for the heavy chain of myosin inChara (Grolig et al., 1988, Eur. J. Cell Biol.47, 22–31). Based on its endoplasmic location and inferred enzymatic properties, we suggest that CDPK may be a putative element of the signal-transduction pathway that mediates the rapid Ca²⁺-induced inhibition of streaming that occurs in the characean algae.Abbreviations CDPK calcium-dependent protein kinase - kDa kilodalton - mAb monoclonal antibody - M_r relative molecular mass - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis We thank Dr. Richard Williamson (Plant Cell Biology Group, Research School of Biological Sciences, The Australian National University) for valuable discussions during the course of this research.

PKD1 Inhibits AMPKα2 through Phosphorylation of Serine 491 and Impairs Insulin Signaling in Skeletal Muscle Cells

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an energy-sensing enzyme whose activity is inhibited in settings of insulin resistance. Exposure to a high glucose concentration has recently been shown to increase phosphorylation of AMPK at Ser^485/491 of its α1/α2 subunit; however, the mechanism by which it does so is not known. Diacylglycerol (DAG), which is also increased in muscle exposed to high glucose, activates a number of signaling molecules including protein kinase (PK)C and PKD1. We sought to determine whether PKC or PKD1 is involved in inhibition of AMPK by causing Ser^485/491 phosphorylation in skeletal muscle cells. C2C12 myotubes were treated with the PKC/D1 activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), which acts as a DAG mimetic. This caused dose- and time-dependent increases in AMPK Ser^485/491 phosphorylation, which was associated with a ∼60% decrease in AMPKα2 activity. Expression of a phosphodefective AMPKα2 mutant (S491A) prevented the PMA-induced reduction in AMPK activity. Serine phosphorylation and inhibition of AMPK activity were partially prevented by the broad PKC inhibitor Gö6983 and fully prevented by the specific PKD1 inhibitor CRT0066101. Genetic knockdown of PKD1 also prevented Ser^485/491 phosphorylation of AMPK. Inhibition of previously identified kinases that phosphorylate AMPK at this site (Akt, S6K, and ERK) did not prevent these events. PMA treatment also caused impairments in insulin-signaling through Akt, which were prevented by PKD1 inhibition. Finally, recombinant PKD1 phosphorylated AMPKα2 at Ser⁴⁹¹ in cell-free conditions. These results identify PKD1 as a novel upstream kinase of AMPKα2 Ser⁴⁹¹ that plays a negative role in insulin signaling in muscle cells.     

A gibberellin-regulated protein phosphorylated by a putative Ca2+-dependent protein kinase is G-protein mediated in rice root

The GA-signal transduction pathways downstream to the Gα protein in rice seedling root were investigated using in-gel kinase assay and in vitro protein phosphorylation techniques with a Gα protein defective mutant, d1. A 50-kDa protein kinase was detected downstream to Gα protein in the membrane fraction of rice seedling roots using an in-gel kinase assay with histone III-S as a substrate. The activity of a 50-kDa protein kinase increased in the wild-type rice by gibberellin (GA₃) treatment, but did not change in the d1 mutant. This protein kinase activity was inhibited by the Ca²⁺ chelator ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N,N ¹,N ¹-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), protein kinase inhibitors, staurosporine and H7, and calmodulin antagonist, trifluoperazine, suggesting that the 50-kDa protein kinase is a putative plant Ca²⁺-dependent protein kinase (CDPK). The activity of the 50-kDa putative CDPK reached its highest level at 3 h after GA₃ treatment and then gradually declined with time. In order to identify the endogenous substrate for 50-kDa putative CDPK, two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by in vitro protein phosphorylation was carried out. The phosphorylation activity of an endogenous protein PP30, identified as an unknown protein having molecular weight 30 kDa and isoelectric point 5.8 was increased in the wild-type rice by GA₃ treatment, compared with the d1 mutant. The addition of GA₃ treated membrane fraction, which predominantly represent a 50-kDa putative CDPK further increased the phosphorylation of PP30. Almost similar to GA₃ treatment, phosphorylation activity of PP30 was also increased by the treatment with cholera toxin in the wild-type rice but not in d1 mutant. These results suggest that the 50-kDa putative CDPK and an unknown protein, PP30 promoted by GA₃ treatment are G-protein mediated in rice seedling roots.     

Suppression of extracellular signals and cell proliferation through EGF receptor binding by (−)-epigallocatechin gallate in human A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells

Tea polyphenols are known to inhibit a wide variety of enzymatic activities associated with cell proliferation and tumor progression. The molecular mechanisms of antiproliferation are remained to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effects of the major tea polyphenol (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on the proliferation of human epidermoid carcinoma cell line, A431. Using a [³H]thymidine incorporation assay, EGCG could significantly inhibit the DNA synthesis of A431 cells. In vitro assay, EGCG strongly inhibited the protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activities of EGF-R, PDGF-R, and FGF-R, and exhibited an IC₅₀ value of 0.5–1 μg/ml. But EGCG scarcely inhibited the protein kinase activities of pp60^v-src, PKC, and PKA (IC₅₀ > 10 μg/ml). In an in vivo assay, EGCG could reduce the autophosphorylation level of EGF-R by EGF. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the EGF-R revealed that EGCG inhibited the EGF-stimulated increase in phosphotyrosine level in A431 cells. In addition, we showed that EGCG blocked EGF binding to its receptor. The results of further studies suggested that the inhibition of proliferation and suppression of the EGF signaling by EGCG might mainly mediate dose-dependent blocking of ligand binding to its receptor, and subsequently through inhibition of EGF-R kinase activity.

Prolonged Alzheimer-like tau hyperphosphorylation induced by simultaneous inhibition of phosphoinositol-3 kinase and protein kinase C in N2a cells

Co-injection of wortmannin (inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, PI3K) and GF109203X(inhibitor of protein kinase C, PKC) into the rat brain was found to induce spatial memory deficiency and enhance tau hyperphosphorylation in the hippocampus of rat brain. To establish a cell model with durative Alzheimer-like tau hyperphosphorylation in this study, we treated N2a neuroblastoma cells with wortmannin and GF109203X separately and simultaneously, and measured the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3)activity by y-32p-labeling and the level of tau phosphorylation by Western blotting. It was found that the application of wortmannin alone only transitorily increased the activity of GSK-3 (about 1 h) and the level of tau hyperphosphorylation at Ser^396/Ser^404 and Ser^199/Ser^202 sites (no longer than 3 h); however, a prolonged and intense activation of GSK-3 (over 12 h) and enhanced tau hyperphosphorylation (about 24 h) were observed when these two selective kinase inhibitors were applied together. We conclude that the simultaneous inhibition of PI3K and PKC can induce GSK-3 overactivation, and further strengthen and prolong the Alzheimerlike tau hyperphosphorylation in N2a cells, suggesting the establishment of a cell model with early pathological events of Alzheimer‘s disease.
