Regulation of D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C

The Ca2(+)-mobilizing second messenger D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) is converted to the putative messenger D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate by Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. We found that cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C phosphorylate, and thereby modulate, the activity of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. cAMP-dependent kinase introduced a stoichiometric amount of phosphate at serine 109 of the 53-kDa polypeptide and caused a 1.8-fold increase in Vmax, whereas the protein kinase C-dependent phosphorylation reduced the Vmax to one-fourth of that of the unphosphorylated enzyme. Upon prolonged incubation, protein kinase C introduced phosphate at multiple sites in Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase, and the resulting inactivation of the enzyme appeared to be well-correlated with the simultaneous phosphorylation of two major sites, serine 109 and serine 175. The Km for Ins(1,4,5)P3 was not affected significantly after phosphorylation by either protein kinase. We propose, therefore, that the phosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase by cAMP-dependent kinase and protein kinase C constitutes mechanisms of cross-talk between cellular signaling pathways that use various second messengers such as inositol phosphates, diacylglycerol, Ca2+, and cAMP.     

Calcium modulates the generation of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate in human platelets by the activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase.

Histamine (0.5 mM) stimulated the cyclic AMP content of cell suspensions containing greater than 80% parietal cells. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) inhibited this stimulatory effect of histamine, but had no effect on basal cyclic AMP content. The half-maximally effective concentration of EGF for inhibition of histamine-stimulated cyclic AMP was 3.9 nM. The equivalent measurement for the inhibition of histamine-stimulated aminopyrine accumulation was 3.0 nM. Aminopyrine accumulation was measured because it provides an index of the secretory activity of the cell. The cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) prevented the inhibitory effect of EGF on cyclic AMP content. This effect of IBMX was not caused by its ability to raise cellular cyclic AMP content in the presence of histamine. Prevention by IBMX of the inhibitory action of EGF on histamine-stimulated aminopyrine accumulation had been shown previously [Shaw, Hatt, Anderson & Hanson (1987) Biochem. J. 244, 699-704]. EGF stimulated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in the cell fraction containing greater than 80% parietal cells, with the half-maximally effective concentration being 7.5 nM. EGF was ineffective in stimulating PGE2 production if the cell fraction was depleted of parietal cells (12%), or if 0.5 mM-histamine was added to the enriched parietal-cell fraction. In conclusion, EGF may inhibit histamine-stimulated acid secretion by decreasing the cyclic AMP content of parietal cells. This effect could be mediated by an increase in cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity, but it is unlikely to involve an effect of EGF on parietal-cell prostaglandin production.     

Regulation of the phosphorylation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor by protein kinase C

The various inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) isoforms are potential substrates for several protein kinases. We compared the in vitro phosphorylation of purified IP(3)R1 and IP(3)R3 by the catalytic subunit of protein kinase C (PKC). Phosphorylation of IP(3)R1 by PKC was about eight times stronger than that of IP(3)R3 under identical conditions. Protein kinase A strongly stimulated the PKC-induced phosphorylation of IP(3)R1. In contrast, Ca(2+) inhibited its phosphorylation (IC(50)相似文献   

Formation and metabolism of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in human platelets.

1. myo-[3H]Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3], when added to lysed platelets, was rapidly converted into [3H]inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4], which was in turn converted into [3H]inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4)P3]. This result demonstrates that platelets have the same metabolic pathways for interconversion of inositol polyphosphates that are found in other cells. 2. Labelling of platelets with [32P]Pi, followed by h.p.l.c., was used to measure thrombin-induced changes in the three inositol polyphosphates. Interfering compounds were removed by a combination of enzymic and non-enzymic techniques. 3. Ins(1,4,5)P3 was formed rapidly, and reached a maximum at about 4 s. It was also rapidly degraded, and was no longer detectable after 30-60 s. 4. Formation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was almost as rapid as that of Ins(1,4,5)P3, and it remained detectable for a longer time. 5. Ins(1,3,4)P3 was formed after an initial lag, and this isomer reached its maximum, which was 10-fold higher than that of Ins(1,4,5)P3, at 30 s. 6. Comparison of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration as measured with fura-2 indicates that agents other than Ins(1,4,5)P3 are responsible for the sustained maintenance of a high concentration of intracellular Ca2+. It is proposed that either Ins(1,3,4)P3 or Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 may also be Ca2+-mobilizing agents.     

Identification in extracts from AR4-2J cells of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by its susceptibility to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase and 5-phosphatase.

Renal brush-border membrane vesicles from rat kidney cortex were irradiated in frozen state with a gamma-radiation source. Initial rates of influx into these vesicles were estimated for substrates such as L-glutamic acid, L-alanine, L-proline and L-leucine to establish the molecular sizes of their carriers. Transport was measured in initial-rate conditions to avoid artifacts arising from a decrease in the driving force caused by a modification of membrane permeability. Initial rates of Na(+)-independent uptakes for those four substrates appeared unaffected in the dose range used (0-6 Mrad), indicating that the passive permeability of the membrane towards these substrates was unaffected. However, at higher doses of irradiation the Na+ influx and the intravesicular volume evaluated by the uptake of glucose at equilibrium were altered by radiation. Thus Na(+)-dependent influx values were corrected for volume changes, and the corrected values were used to compute radiation-inactivation sizes of the transport systems. Their respective values for L-glutamic acid, L-proline, L-leucine and L-alanine carriers were 250, 224, 293 and 274 kDa. The presence of the free-radicals scavenger benzoic acid in the frozen samples during irradiation did not affect the uptake of glucose, phosphate and alkaline phosphatase activity. These results indicate that freezing samples in a cryoprotective medium was enough to prevent secondary inactivation of transporters by free radicals. Uptakes of beta-alanine and L-lysine were much less affected by radiation. The radiation-inactivation size of the Na(+)-dependent beta-alanine carrier was 127 kDa and that of the L-lysine carrier was 90 kDa.     

Structural insights into enzyme regulation for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase B

D-Myoinositol 1,4,5-trisphophate 3-kinases (IP(3)-3Ks) play important roles in metazoan cellular signaling. It has been demonstrated that mice without a functional version of IP(3)-3K isoform B are deficient in peripheral T-cells, indicating that IP(3)-3KB is essential to the developing immune system. The recent apo IP(3)-3KA structure exhibited a helix at the catalytic domain N-terminus exhibited a helix at the N-terminus of the catalytic domain, with a tryptophan indole moiety mimicking the binding mode of the substrate ATP purine ring, suggesting a mechanism of autoinhibition. Here we present the structure of the complete catalytic domain of IP(3)-3KB, including the CaM binding domain in complex with Mg(2+) and ATP. The crystal structure reveals a homodimeric arrangement of IP(3)-3KB catalytic domains, mediated via an intermolecular antiparallel beta-sheet formed from part of the CaM binding region. Residues from the putative autoinhibitory helix are rearranged into a loop configuration, with extensive interactions with the bound ATP. Mutagenesis of residues from this region reveals that substitution of the putative autoinhibitory tryptophan generates a hyperactive enzyme which retains Ca(2+)/CaM sensitivity. The IP(3)-3KB structure suggests a mechanism of enzyme activation, and raises the possibility that an interaction between IP(3)-3KB molecules may occur as part of the catalytic or regulatory cycle.     

Melatonin elevates intracellular free calcium in human platelets by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate independent mechanism

Several studies have indicated the existence of direct effects of melatonin on platelets. Here we show that, melatonin at high concentration is capable of significantly raising platelet intracellular calcium even in the absence of an agonist. The effect of melatonin on platelets was abolished by luzindole, a melatonin receptor blocker, and rotenone, while it was unaffected by cell-permeable antagonists of either inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor, phospholipase C (PLC), or bafilomycin A1, which discharges acidic calcium stores. Melatonin-induced manganese entry provided evidence for activation of bivalent cation entry. Thus, our data suggest that melatonin evoked the elevation of platelet intracellular calcium through depletion of mitochondrial Ca(2+) stores and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), while the action was independent of the PLC-IP(3) axis.     

Purification and characterization of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase from pig aortic smooth muscle.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 3-kinase, which phosphorylates InsP3 to form inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, was purified to apparent homogeneity by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and sequential chromatographic steps on DEAE-sepharose, calmodulin-Affi-Gel and DEAE-5PW h.p.l.c. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 24.4 nmol of inositol tetrakisphosphate formed/min per mg of protein, which represented a purification of approx. 195-fold with a 0.29% recovery, compared with the cytosol fraction of the muscle. SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showed a single protein-staining band of Mr 93,000. Moreover, the major protein peak, of Mr 84,000, was detected by TSK gel G3000SW gel-permeation chromatography of the purified sample. As this value was approximately consistent with the Mr determined by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel-electrophoretic analysis, the InsP3 3-kinase might be a monomeric enzyme. The purified enzyme had a Km for InsP3 of 0.4 microM, with an optimum pH range of 5.8-7.7. The enzyme was maximally activated by calmodulin, with a stoichiometry of 1:1.     

Akt kinase phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors

A consensus RXRXX(S/T) substrate motif for Akt kinase is conserved in the C-terminal tail of all three inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) isoforms. We have shown that IP3R can be phosphorylated by Akt kinase in vitro and in vivo. Endogenous IP3Rs in Chinese hamster ovary T-cells were phosphorylated in response to Akt activation by insulin. LnCAP cells, a prostate cancer cell line with constitutively active Akt kinase, also showed a constitutive phosphorylation of endogenous type I IP3Rs. In all cases, the IP3R phosphorylation was diminished by the addition of LY294002, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Mutation of IP3R serine 2681 in the Akt substrate motif to alanine (S2681A) or glutamate (S2681E) prevented IP3R phosphorylation in COS cells transfected with constitutively active Akt kinase. Analysis of the Ca2+ flux properties of these IP3R mutants expressed in COS cell microsomes or in DT40 triple knock-out (TKO) cells did not reveal any modification of channel function. However, staurosporine-induced caspase-3 activation in DT40 TKO cells stably expressing the S2681A mutant was markedly enhanced when compared with wild-type or S2681E IP3Rs. We conclude that IP3 receptors are in vivo substrates for Akt kinase and that phosphorylation of the IP3R may provide one mechanism to restrain the apoptotic effects of calcium.     

Detection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate kinase in retina. A direct demonstration of phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by ATP.

The metabolism of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] consists of two pathways: dephosphorylation by 5-phosphomonoesterase(s) produces inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, and phosphorylation by Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase yields inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4]. The requirements for Ins(1,4,5)P3 kinase activity in retina were characterized. Apparent Km values for ATP and Ins(1,4,5)P3 are 1.4 mM and 1.3 microM respectively. A direct demonstration of phosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 by [gamma-32P]ATP was achieved. Characterization of the 32P-labelled product revealed that it had the expected chromatographic and electrophoretic properties of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4.     

Calcium free inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate stimulates protein kinase C dependent protein phosphorylation in nuclei isolated from mitogen-treated Swiss 3T3 cells

As a step towards the elucidation of the role played by nuclear polyphosphoinositides, we have investigated the effect of exogenous calcium free inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate on the in vitro phosphorylation of proteins in nuclei prepared from Swiss 3T3 cells treated with bombesin and insulin-like growth factor I. When present in combination with phosphatidylserine, inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate enhanced the phosphorylation of two nuclear proteins, Mr 21,000 and 31,000, as well as of exogenous histone H1, to the same extent as a combination of phosphatidylserine and diacylglycerol. Inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate alone had no effect. This stimulation could be abolished by the protein kinase C inhibitor sphingosine and by EGTA, while could be restored by a combination of phosphatidylserine and exogenous Ca+(+) ions. These results raise the possibility that inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate is capable of liberating Ca+(+) ions from a nuclear store thus stimulating protein kinase C activity.     

Mode of activation of bovine brain inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase by calmodulin and calcium.

The effect of Ca2+ and calmodulin (CaM) on the activation of purified bovine brain Ins(1,4,5)P3 kinase was quantified and interpreted according to the model of sequential equilibria generally used for other calmodulin-stimulated systems. Two main conclusions can be drawn. (i) CaM.Ca3 and CaM.Ca4 together are the biologically active species in vitro, as is the case for the great majority of other calmodulin targets. (ii) These species bind in a non-co-operative way to the enzyme with an affinity constant of 8.23 x 10(9) M-1, i.e. approx 10-fold higher than for most calmodulin-activated target enzymes. The dose-response curve of the activation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 kinase by calmodulin is not significantly impaired by melittin and trifluoperazine, whereas under very similar assay conditions the half-maximal activation of bovine brain cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase requires over 30-50-fold higher concentrations of CaM when 1 microM melittin or 20 microM-trifluoperazine is present in the assay medium. Similarly, 1 microM of the anti-calmodulin peptides seminalplasmin and gramicidin S, as well as 20 microM of N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene-sulphonamide (W7), do not inhibit the activation process. These data suggest that binding and activation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 kinase require surface sites of calmodulin which are different from those involved in the binding of most other target enzymes or of model peptides.     

Calmodulin activates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase activity in pig aortic smooth muscle.

The effects of calmodulin (CaM) on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 3-kinase activity in pig aortic smooth muscle were examined. The cytosol fraction of muscle cells, containing 1.2-2.0 micrograms of CaM/mg of cytosol protein (thus 0.12-0.2%, w/w), showed a Ca2+-dependent InsP3 3-kinase activity, and there was no further activation by exogenous addition of CaM purified from dog brain. (NH4)2SO4 fractionation of the cytosol fraction revealed that a 20-60%-satd.-(NH4)2SO4 fraction was rich in the enzyme activity, and the activity without exogenous CaM was still dependent on Ca2+, although the CaM content in this fraction was minute (0.013-0.016%, w/w). The kinase activity observed in the absence of exogenous CaM became insensitive to Ca2+ when a 20-60%-satd.-(NH4)2SO4 fraction was applied to a DEAE-cellulose column, but exogenous addition of CaM increased the enzyme activity from 80-120 to 450 pmol/min per mg of protein, with addition of 10 microM free Ca2+. A fraction separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography was applied to a CaM affinity column. The kinase activity was retained on the column in the presence of Ca2+, and was eluted by lowering the free Ca2+ concentration by adding EGTA. These results directly show that CaM activates InsP3 3-kinase activity and the enzyme becomes sensitive to Ca2+.     

Partial purification and some properties of rat brain inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase.

An enzyme which catalyses the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] was purified approx. 180-fold from rat brain cytosol by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, chromatography through hydroxyapatite, anion-exchange fast protein liquid chromatography and gel-filtration chromatography. Gel filtration on Sepharose 4B CL gives an Mr of 200 x 10(3) for the native enzyme. The inositol tetrakisphosphate (InsP4) produced by the enzyme has the chromatographic, chemical and metabolic properties of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase displays simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics for both its substrates, having Km values of 460 microM and 0.44 microM for ATP and Ins(1,4,5)P3 respectively. When many of the inositol phosphates known to occur in cells were tested, only Ins(1,4,5)P3 was a substrate for the enzyme; the 2,4,5-trisphosphate was not phosphorylated. Inositol 4,5-bisphosphate and glycerophosphoinositol 4,5-bisphosphate were phosphorylated much more slowly than Ins(1,4,5)P3. CTP, GTP and adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate were unable to substitute for ATP. When assayed under conditions of first-order kinetics, Ins(1,4,5)P3 kinase activity decreased by about 40% as the [Ca2+] was increased over the physiologically relevant range. This effect was insensitive to the presence of calmodulin and appeared to be the result of an increase in the Km of the enzyme for Ins(1,4,5)P3. Preincubation with ATP and the purified catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase did not affect the rate of phosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 when the enzyme was assayed at saturating concentrations of Ins(1,4,5)P3 or at concentrations close to its Km for this substrate.     

Modulation of cytosolic calcium signaling by protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors

Calcium release via intracellular Ca2+ release channels is a central event underpinning the generation of numerous, often divergent physiological processes. In electrically non-excitable cells, this Ca2+ release is brought about primarily through activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors and typically takes the form of calcium oscillations. It is widely believed that information is carried in the temporal and spatial characteristics of these signals. Furthermore, stimulation of individual cells with different agonists can generate Ca2+ oscillations with dramatically different spatial and temporal characteristics. Thus, mechanisms must exist for the acute regulation of Ca2+ release such that agonist-specific Ca2+ signals can be generated. One such mechanism by which Ca2+ signals can be modulated is through simultaneous activation of multiple second messenger pathways. For example, activation of both the InsP3 and cAMP pathways leads to the modulation of Ca2+ release through protein kinase A mediated phosphoregulation of the InsP3R. Indeed, each InsP3R subtype is a potential substrate for PKA, although the functional consequences of this phosphorylation are not clear. This review will focus on recent advances in our understanding of phosphoregulation of InsP3R, as well as the functional consequences of this modulation in terms of eliciting specific cellular events.     

Metabolic and functional consequences of introducing inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate into saponin-permeabilized human platelets.

In an earlier study we reported the effect of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] in releasing Ca2+ from highly purified human platelet intracellular membrane vesicles. [Authi & Crawford (1985) Biochem. J. 230, 247-253]. We have now investigated the metabolic and functional consequences of introducing Ins(1,4,5)P3 into saponin-permeabilized platelets. Washed human platelets when resuspended in a suitable medium were permeabilized with saponin (10-14 micrograms/ml) to allow entry of low-Mr water-soluble molecules without significant release of the cytoplasmic marker enzyme protein lactate dehydrogenase. Saponin-permeabilized platelets show identical platelet responses (shape change, aggregation and release of 5-hydroxy[14C]tryptamine) to both collagen (5 micrograms/ml) and thrombin (0.1 unit/ml) as obtained with intact cells, indicating that there is minimal disturbance to the surface membrane receptor topography for these two agonists. Ins(1,4,5)P3 (1-10 microM) added to saponin-treated platelets (but not to intact platelets) induced dose-related shape change, aggregation and release of 5-hydroxy[14C]tryptamine which at maximal doses was comparable with responses obtained with thrombin or collagen. The cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors indomethacin and aspirin, if added prior to saponization and Ins(1,4,5)P3 addition, completely inhibited both aggregation and release of 5-hydroxy[14C]tryptamine (EC50 for indomethacin, 50 nM; for aspirin, 30 microM). We believe that Ins(1,4,5)P3 induces the release of Ca2+ from intracellular storages sites which stimulates the Ca2+-dependent phospholipase A2 releasing arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids. Arachidonic acid is then converted to the aggregatory prostanoids (prostaglandin H2 and thromboxane A2) resulting in the observed responses. This concept is supported by the use of the thromboxane receptor antagonists EPO 45 and EPO 92, both of which also completely inhibit Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced responses in saponin-permeabilized platelets. Electron microscopy of the platelet preparations revealed that thrombin- and collagen-induced platelet aggregates of intact and saponized cells were identical, showing extensive pseudopod formation and dense granule release. The Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced aggregates also showed similar dense granule release but an almost total absence of pseudopod formation. These results are discussed in the light of the second messenger role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in stimulus-response coupling in platelets.     

Purification of D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase from rat brain

The ATP-dependent, calmodulin-sensitive 3-kinase responsible for the conversion of D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate to D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate has been purified 2,700-fold from rat brain to a specific activity of 2.3 mumol/min/mg protein. A method of purification is described involving chromatography on phosphocellulose, Orange A dye ligand, calmodulin agarose, and hydroxylapatite columns. Neither the highly purified enzyme nor enzyme eluting from the phosphocellulose column were activated by Ca2+. However, enzyme in the 100,000 x g supernatant from rat brain was activated by Ca2+ over the range from 10(-7) to 10(-6) M and Ca2+ sensitivity of the purified enzyme was restored by the addition of calmodulin. The enzyme has a catalytic subunit Mr of 53,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Size exclusion chromatography of the purified enzyme on a Superose 12 column gave a Mr value of 70,000, indicating that the purified enzyme was present as a monomer. In contrast, the 100,000 x g supernatant and the purified enzyme after addition of calmodulin and 10(-6) M Ca2+ chromatographed on size exclusion chromatography with a Mr of 150,000-160,000. These results imply that the native enzyme is a dimeric structure of two catalytic subunits plus calmodulin. The purified enzyme showed a Km of 0.21 +/- 0.08 microM for D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and had a pH optimum of 8.5. Addition of calmodulin increased both the Km and the Vmax of the purified enzyme about 2-fold. The high affinity of the 3-kinase for D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate together with its activation by Ca2+/calmodulin suggests that this enzyme may exert an important regulatory role in inositol phosphate signaling by promoting the formation of additional inositol polyphosphate isomers.
