Substrate selectivity and sensitivity to inhibition by FK506 and cyclosporin A of calcineurin heterodimers composed of the alpha or beta catalytic subunit.

The calcineurin (CaN) alpha and beta catalytic subunit isoforms are coexpressed within almost all cell types. The enzymatic properties of CaN heterodimers comprised of the regulatory B subunit (CnB) with either the alpha or beta catalytic subunit were compared using in vitro phosphatase assays. CaN containing the alpha isoform (CnA alpha) has lower K(m) and higher V(max) values than CaN containing the beta isoform (CnA beta) toward the PO4-RII, PO4-DARPP-32(20-38) peptides, and p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP). CaN heterodimers containing the alpha or beta catalytic subunit isoform displayed identical calmodulin dissociation rates. Similar inhibition curves for each CaN heterodimer were obtained with the CaN autoinhibitory peptide (CaP) and cyclophilin A/cyclosporin A (CyPA/CsA) using each peptide substrate at K(m) concentrations, except for a five- to ninefold higher IC50 value measured for CaN containing the beta isoform with p-nitrophenylphosphate as substrate. No difference in stimulation of phosphatase activity toward p-nitrophenylphosphate by FKBP12/FK506 was observed. At low concentrations of FKBP12/FK506, CaN containing the alpha isoform is more sensitive to inhibition than CaN containing the beta isoform using the phosphopeptide substrates. Higher concentrations of FKBP12/FK506 are required for maximal inhibition of beta CaN using PO4-DARPP-32(20-38) as substrate. The functional differences conferred upon CaN by the alpha or beta catalytic subunit isoforms suggest that the alpha:beta and CaN:substrate ratios may determine the levels of CaN phosphatase activity toward specific substrates within tissues and specific cell types. These findings also indicate that the alpha and beta catalytic subunit isoforms give rise to substrate-dependent differences in sensitivity toward FKBP12/FK506.     

Characterization of the phosphatase activity of a baculovirus-expressed calcineurin A isoform.

Calcineurin A was purified by calmodulin-Sepharose affinity chromatography from Sf9 cells infected with recombinant baculovirus containing the cDNA of a rat calcineurin A isoform. The Sf9-expressed calcineurin A has a low basal phosphatase activity in the presence of EDTA (0.9 nmol/min/mg) which is stimulated 3-5-fold by Mn2+. Calmodulin increased the Mn2+ stimulated activity 3-5-fold. Bovine brain calcineurin B increased the A subunit activity 10-15-fold, and calmodulin further stimulated the activity of reconstituted A and B subunits 10-15-fold (644 nmol/min/mg). The Km of calcineurin A for 32P-RII pep (a peptide substrate (DLDVPIPGRFDRRVSVAAE) for CaN), was 111 microM with or without calmodulin, and calmodulin increased the Vmax about 4-fold. The Km of reconstituted calcineurin A plus B for 32P-RII pep was 20 microM, and calmodulin increased the Vmax 18-fold without affecting the Km. CaN A467-492, a synthetic autoinhibitory peptide (ITSFEEAKGLDRINERMPPRRDAMP) from calcineurin, inhibited the Mn2+/calmodulin-stimulated activities of the reconstituted enzyme and the A subunit with IC50's of 25 microM and 90 microM, respectively. The reconstitution of the phosphatase activity of an expressed isoform of calcineurin A by purified B subunit and calmodulin may facilitate comparative studies of the regulation of calcineurin A activity by the B subunit and calmodulin.     

Protein kinases in brown adipose tissue of developing rats. II. two soluble kinase activities and their affinities for nucleotide and protein substrates.

A heat-stable, soluble component of brown adipose tissue from newborn rats was found to be readily phosphorylated by protein kinase of the same subcellular fraction. The concentration of this component in brown fat decreased with the age of the animals. A boiled crude microsomal preparation from rat liver was also phosphorylated by brown fat protein kinase. The GTP-linked phosphorylation of the endogenous heat-stable protein was not stimulated by ATP (in contrast to phosphorylation of histone). The maximum velocity of phosphorylation achieved with GTP was about 2.5 times higher than that with ATP as nucleotide substrate. This difference was not due to ATPase activity in the assay. With histone as the protein acceptor both activities were the same. The affinity of protein kinase(s) for ATP was lower with the endogenous heat-stable brown-fat protein and with boiled microsomes (Km of 0.21 mM and 0.17 mM, respectively) than with histone (Km of 0.05 M). No detectable ATPase activity was present in either acceptor protein. It is concluded that the 100 000 times g supernatant fraction from brown fat of infant rats contains two protein kinase activities. One preferentially uses ATP and histone as substrates and the other uses endogenous heat-stable soluble proteins and either ATP or GTP.     

Response of recombinant calcineurin to metal ions,reduction-oxidation agents,and enzymatic modification

Recombinant calcineurin heterodimer with the full length delta-isoform of the catalytic subunit (CaN(500)) was expressed in insect cells using the baculovirus system and compared to native bovine brain enzyme in its response to divalent metal ions, redox reagents, and enzymatic modification of arginine residues. The response to various metal ions showed essentially the same profile as bovine brain calcineurin, although Co2+ and Zn2+ did not support recombinant activity as well. Kinetic analysis showed that metal ion and substrate binding were not independent, as found for the bovine brain calcineurin. Incubation with DTT or ascorbate alone caused similar effects on the activity of both enzymes, but different responses were observed when incubated with both DTT and ascorbate; only the recombinant enzyme showed activation. Arginine deimination of recombinant calcineurin by peptidylarginine deiminase resulted in the loss of 60-80% of its phosphatase activity with protection observed if calmodulin was present. Recombinant calcineurin was reactivated by treatment with the protease clostripain, suggesting that deimination of an arginine in the carboxyl terminal domain may be responsible for the loss of phosphatase activity and decreased calmodulin binding [Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 318 (1995) 370]. Supporting this conclusion, a truncated variant of the catalytic subunit lacking the carboxyl terminus showed no loss of phosphatase activity compared to full length calcineurin subunit and contained lower amounts of citrulline than the full length subunit after deimination. These different responses of recombinant calcineurin are consistent with conformational differences compared to bovine brain calcineurin and raise questions about its utility for studying the mechanism of calcineurin.     

Calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation of the human placental membrane receptor for epidermal growth factor urogastrone

The findings of our work were 2-fold: (1) calcineurin (from bovine brain) can catalyze the complete dephosphorylation of the phosphotyrosine and phosphoserine residues in the human placental receptor for epidermal growth factor urogastrone (EGF-URO), and (2) the major calmodulin-binding protein of human placental membranes is a calcineurin-related protein. In terms of its metal ion dependence (Ni2+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Co2+), its calmodulin dependence, and its sensitivity to inhibitors (Zn2+, fluoride, orthovanadate), the phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase activity of calcineurin, using the EGF-URO receptor as substrate, paralleled the enzyme activity measured with p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) as a substrate. These characteristics distinguish calcineurin from other classes of protein phosphotyrosyl phosphatases. Calcineurin purified from placental membranes was similar to, if not identical with, bovine brain calcineurin in terms of enzymatic specific activity toward PNPP, subunit electrophoretic mobilities, and immunological cross-reactivity. The enzymatic properties and comparative abundance of calcineurin in the placenta membranes suggest that this enzyme may play an important role in regulating the phosphorylation state of those receptors (e.g., for EGF-URO or insulin) also known to be present in the membranes.
