Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases prepared from crude cytosols of chick kidney, rat kidney and rat liver were found on dilution to exhibit complex kinetics. Dilution of the cytosols appears to increase the state of activation of the enzymes. This effect was due to the presence of inhibitory agents in the cytosol which had a greater inhibitory effect on the cyclic AMP-dependent than on the cyclic AMP-independent enzyme. Two types of inhibitory activity were found by column chromatography, one resistant to trichloroacetic acid precipitation and boiling but affected by trypsin digestion and the other resistant to boiling and trypsin digestion but precipitated by trichloroacetic acid. Inhibitory activity corresponding to the former characteristics has been described previously but the presence of additional soluble inhibitory agents in the cytosol has not been documented. The complete characterisation of this previously undescribed inhibitory activity requires further investigation. The relevance of such cytosolic inhibitory activity to the interpretation of states of activation of protein kinase enzymes is discussed. 相似文献

The protein-bound cyclic AMP and the activity of cytosolic protein kinases in the presence and absence of cyclic AMP were determined in rat liver up to 2h after injection of glucagon. On the basis of the different salt-sensitivities of the activated cyclic AMP-dependent proteinkinases I and II, an activation of protein kinase II restricted to the high cyclic AMP concentrations present in the first 30 min after hormone injection was found. Essentially the same result was obtained by chromatographic analysis on DEAE-cellulose of liver cytosol from untreated rats and from rats killed at 2 and 60 min after glucagon injection. Protein kinase II activation was only detected at 2 min after injection. In contrast, the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase I was found to be nearly totally activated at 2 min and to be still almost as active at 60 min after the hormone stimulus, whereas the amount of bound cyclic AMP and the activation of total cytosolic protein kinases had fallen to two-thirds of their maximal values during this time period. A third cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase, which co-chromatographed with protein kinase type II, could be clearly distinguished from the two cyclic AMP-dependent kinases by use of the heat-stable inhibitor from bovine muscle, which totally inhibited the cyclic AMP-dependent enzymes, but stimulated the cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase. 相似文献

Abstract: An enzyme activity in rat brain, capable of catalysing the transfer of myristic acid from myristoyl CoA to the amino terminus of synthetic peptides, has been characterised. The synthetic peptides used as substrates were one based on the N-terminal eight amino acids of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and another hexadecapeptide based on the N-terminal sequence of p60src . This N -myristoyl transferase (NMT) activity, which is both peptide dependent and heat labile, occurs in rat brain at levels at least three times those found in other rat tissues. In the presence of both ATP and CoA the enzyme catalysed the transfer of myristic acid, but not palmitic acid, specifically to the N-terminal glycine of the peptides. Both peptide substrates exhibited Mi-chaelis-Menten kinetics yielding K m values of 100 μ M and 60 μ M , and Vmax values of 5 and 14.8 pmol/min/mg for the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase peptide and sre-derived peptides, respectively. The majority of the NMT activity was present in the cytosol of the brain homogenates, and there was evidence of an NMT inhibitory activity in both the particulate fraction of brain homogenates and in brain cytosol. NMT activity could also be demonstrated in the 100,000 g supernatant of lysed synaptosomes, and the synaptosomal membranes also exhibited an inhibitory activity on the soluble enzyme. Different brain areas exhibited different levels of the N -myristoyl transferase activity and there was a fivefold difference in the activity found in the most active area, the hippocampus, compared to spinal cord. 相似文献

The cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase specific activities of cytosol fractions from urethane-induced lung tumours and from normal mouse lung were determined. Both basal and cyclic AMP-stimulated activities in tumours were twofold higher than those of normal lung. Since neonatal and adult lung cytosols have identical kinase activities, the high activity in tumours appears to be a tumour-specific property. 相似文献

Activation of Tyrosine Hydroxylase in PC12 Cells by the Cyclic GMP and Cyclic AMP Second Messenger Systems 总被引:2,自引:4,他引:2
Tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in catecholamine biosynthesis, is subject to regulation by a variety of agents. Previous workers have found that cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and calcium-stimulated protein kinases activate tyrosine hydroxylase. We wanted to determine whether cyclic GMP might also be involved in the regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity. We found that treatment of rat PC12 cells with sodium nitroprusside (an activator of guanylate cyclase), 8-bromocyclic GMP, forskolin (an activator of adenylate cyclase), and 8-bromocyclic AMP all produced an increase in tyrosine hydroxylase activity measured in vitro or an increased conversion of [14C]tyrosine to labeled catecholamine in situ. Sodium nitroprusside also increased the relative synthesis of cyclic GMP in these cells. In the presence of MgATP, both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP increased tyrosine hydroxylase activity in PC12 cell extracts. The heat-stable cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor failed to attenuate the activation produced in the presence of cyclic GMP. It eliminated the activation produced in the presence of cyclic AMP. Sodium nitroprusside also increased tyrosine hydroxylase activity in vitro in rat corpus striatal synaptosomes and bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. In all cases, the cyclic AMP-dependent activation of tyrosine hydroxylase was greater than that of the cyclic GMP-dependent second messenger system. These results indicate that both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP and their cognate protein kinases activate tyrosine hydroxylase activity in PC12 cells. 相似文献

Cyclic AMP in μM concentrations increases the labeling of a membrane component of approximately 53,000 daltons as well as the labeling of a minor peptide of 18,000 daltons when isolated, intact rat fat cells are incubated with μM concentrations of (γ-32P)ATP. Controlled tryptic digestion of intact cells followed by incubation with (γ-32P)ATP results in diminution of labeling of both of these phosphopeptides indicating susceptibility, hence, access of either the catalytic site or the substrates to trypsin action. Addition of the catalytic subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from beef heart to cells previously treated with trypsin results in the labeling of both phosphopeptides comparable to untreated cells. These findings indicate the catalytic subunit(s) of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase(s) as well as these two phosphopeptides of the intact rat fat cell must be located on the external surface of the plasma membrane. Further, the catalytic subunit(s) of the membrane-located cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase(s) is susceptible to trypsin action whereas the membrane peptides serving as substrates are not. 相似文献

Since phosphorylation of chromosomal proteins by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases (EC 2.7.1.37) enhances template activity of adrenal medulla chromatin (9), we have studied the properties and regulation of protein kinases isolated from chromaffin cell cytosol and nuclei. DEAE-cellulose chromatography revealed three peaks of kinase activity in the nucleus (nPKI, nPKII, nPKIII) and two in the cytosol (cPKI, cPKII). The three nuclear enzymes, as well as cPKII, did not require cyclic AMP to express their catalytic activity. nPKI and nPKIII preferred acidic substrates as PO3-4 acceptors, while nPKII and the cytosol enzymes preferred basic PO3-4 acceptors. Enzyme recombination experiments using protein kinase regulatory subunits from cytosol suggested that cPKII was the catalytic subunit of cPKI. In contrast, the nuclear enzymes were not catalytic subunits of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the cytosol (cPKI). Only the cytosol protein kinases could be inhibited by endogenous heat-stable protein kinase inhibitors. The nuclear and cytosol cyclic AMP-independent protein kinases were distinguishable on the basis of their sedimentation constants as well as Mc2+ and Mn2+ requirements. 相似文献

Extracts of rat tissues contain kinases which catalyze the conversion of glycogen synthease from the glucose 6-phosphate-independent (I) form to the glucose 6-phosphatate-dependent (D) form. These kinases were stimulated by adenosine 3':5' monophosphate (cyclic AMP). The glycogen synthase kinase activity ratio (activity in the absence of cyclic AMP divided by activity in the presence of cyclic AMP) varied from 0.28 to 0.97. The activity ratio for histone kinase in the same extracts ranged from 0.11 to 0.29. The levels of glycogen synthase kinase varied by a factor of 80 in the following rat tissues (given in order of decreasing enzyme activity): kidney, liver, stomach mucosa, lung, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. In the same tissues the levels of histone kinase varied by only a factor of 6 and did not correlate with the levels of glycogen synthase kinase. A modification of the method of Walsh et al. ((1971) J. Biol. Chem. 246, 1977-1985) was developed for purification of the heat-stable inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases (inhibitor). The modified procedure resulted in good yields of highly purified inhibitor and was much simpler than the previously described procedure. This inhibitor completely inhibited cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase activity of the extracts but much of the glycogen synthase kinase activity was not inhibited. The portion of glycogen synthase kinase that was insensitive to the inhibitor was: stomach mucosa, 95%; brain, 90%; liver, 82%; kidney, 81%; lung, 68%; adipose tissue, 65%; skeletal muscle, 63%; and heart, 54%. This histone kinase activity in the extracts and hte ratio of glycogen synthase kinase to histone kinase activity of purified catalytic subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was used to calculate for each extract the glycogen synthase kinase activity contributed by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Based on these calculations, the portion of the glycogen synthase kinase which was due to kinases independent of cyclic AMP was: kidney, 97%; liver, 91%; lung, 89%; brain, 87%, heart, 85%; stomach mucosa, 84%; adipose tissue, 38%; and skeletal muscle, 33%. A significant portion of the glycogen synthase kinase activity, but virtually none of the cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase activity, of these extracts could be adsorbed to phosphocellulose columns. Liver extracts contained, in addition, a form of glycogen synthase kinase which was not adsorbed to phosphocellulose and which could be separated from the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase by additional chromatography. These studies demonstrate that kinases independent of cyclic AMP account for most of the glycogen synthase kinase activity of many tissues. The widespread distribution and high concentrations of these enzymes suggest that they are of physiological importance. 相似文献

Inhibition of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase by the polar head group of an insulin-sensitive glycophospholipid 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A glycophospholipid has been purified from rat liver membranes and shown to copurify with an insulin-sensitive glycophospholipid isolated from H35 hepatoma cells. The polar head group of this glycophospholipid is a phospho-oligosaccharide generated by treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from Staphylococcus aureus. It has been proposed that this phospho-oligosaccharide, which is also generated in response to insulin, may play a role in insulin action. Incubation of the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase with this phospho-oligosaccharide inhibited the activity of the kinase to phosphorylate histone IIA, a purified preparation of phospholipid methyltransferase and kemptide, a phosphate-accepting peptide. Inhibition of kinase activity was dose-dependent and 50% inhibition of histone phosphorylation was demonstrated with a concentration of phospho-oligosaccharide of around 2 microM. This effect was demonstrated in the presence of ATP at concentrations up to 1 mM, indicating that the phospho-oligosaccharide acts at physiological concentrations of ATP and that it does not compete with this nucleotide for the same binding site in the kinase. Inhibition by the phospho-oligosaccharide of kinase activity could be reversed by dilution or dialysis and was not reproduced by up to 50 microM myo-inositol, glucosamine, galactose, myo-inositol 1-phosphate, glucosamine 1-phosphate, galactose 1-phosphate or phosphorylcholine. The inhibitory activity was resistant to mild acid treatment but was labile to treatment with alkali, exposure to nitrous acid or incubation with sodium periodate. The phospho-oligosaccharide had no effect on the phosphorylation of lysine-rich histone by rat brain protein kinase C and on the binding of cyclic AMP to a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. In conclusion, the data in this study suggested that a phospho-oligosaccharide generated from an insulin-sensitive glycophospholipid may play a role in insulin action by modulating cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that a cultured porcine kidney cell, LLC-PK(1), maintains the characteristics of a polar renal epithelial cell in culture, and responds to salmon calcitonin and [arginine]vasopressin by increasing cyclic AMP content. To demonstrate the usefulness of this cell line as a model for the study of the biochemical events distal to cyclic AMP production, the activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was examined. Intact cells in monolayer demonstrated progressive increases in cyclic AMP content and activation of protein kinase in response to [arginine]vasopressin (2-200nm) and salmon calcitonin (0.03-30nm) with both hormones fully activating the enzyme at a cell cyclic AMP content of 35pmol/mg of protein. Of the total cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity, 80% was found in the 27000g supernatant fraction of sonicated cell material, and this soluble protein kinase could be fully activated by hormone. Conversely, the 27000g pellet contained a significant proportion of cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase and only 20% of total cell cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase; the latter showed little response to hormone. On the basis of DEAE-cellulose chromatography, type II protein kinase was the predominant isoenzyme in both soluble and particulate fractions of the LLC-PK(1) cells and the soluble fractions of rat and guinea-pig renal medulla. Thus, the LLC-PK(1) cell line can serve as a model for hormonal modulation of protein kinase and as a potential source for defining the endogenous substrates for these enzymes. 相似文献

Alanyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli, Bombyx mori and rat were examined with respect to the following functional and structural properties: the effect of substrates on sensitivity to proteolysis, secondary structure as determined by circular dichroism, amino acid composition and, in the case of the rat and insect enzymes, partial amino acid sequence determination on a 60-kDa C-terminal tryptic fragment. Digestion of the enzyme from all three sources with trypsin resulted in significant decline in aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase activity with little effect on pyrophosphate-exchange activity. In each case the presence of alanine and ATP together, but not separately, reduced the rate of digestion by trypsin; the largest effect was observed with the enzyme from rat liver. Trypsin digestion generated fragments of 47 kDa and 40 kDa with all three enzymes, but detection of significant quantities of the 47-kDa fragment from the rat enzyme required the presence of ATP and alanine. Trypsin digestion produced a fragment of 60 kDa with all three enzymes, but detection of significant quantities of this fragment with the bacterial enzyme required the presence of ATP and alanine. Limited sequence analysis of the 60-kDa fragment from the insect and rat enzymes indicated that trypsin cleaved both proteins at the same site to generate this species. Similar effects of substrates were observed when the enzymes were digested with chymotrypsin suggesting that the effects of substrates on protease sensitivity were not unique to trypsin. Circular dichroism spectra obtained for the three enzymes were qualitatively and quantitatively similar. There is some similarity in amino acid composition between the rat and insect enzymes. 相似文献

The boiled supernatant fraction from rat cerebrum contained factors which inhibited the basal activity of a Ca2+-dependent phosphodiesterase from rat cerebrum. Two inhibitory fractions were isolated by DEAE-cellulose or Sephadex chromatography and were deemed proteins, based on their sensitivity to trypsin digestion. The inhibitory fractions eluted from DEAE-cellulose columns prior to the Ca2+-dependent activator protein. The inhibitory factors, unlike the activator protein, were stable to heat treatment under alkaline conditions. The inhibitory factors caused both an increase in Km for cyclic GMP and a decrease in V. In the presence of calcium ions and purified activator protein, the Ca2+-dependent phosphodiesterase was not inhibited by the factors, but instead was slightly stimulated. The inhibitory factors caused a slight apparent stimulation of a Ca2+-independent phosphodiesterase from rat cerebrum but this proved instead to be a nonspecific stabilizing effect which was minimicked by bovine serum albumin. After prolonged alkaline treatment, the purified activator protein caused a modest Ca2+-independent activation of Ca2+-dependent phosphodiesterase. The inhibitory factors antagonized the activation of Ca2+-dependent phosphodiesterase by alkaline treated activator protein or by lysophosphatidylcholine. The inhibitory factors had no effect on activity of trypsinized Ca2+-dependent phosphodiesterase. Of various other proteins, only casein mimicked the effects of the inhibitory factors on phoshodiesterase activity. 相似文献

Conditions influencing the cyclic AMP-dependence of protein kinase (ATP-protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) during the phosphorylation of histone were studied. Protein kinase from mouse liver cytosol and the two isoenzymes [PK (protein kinase) I and PK II] isolated from the cytosol by DEAE-cellulose chromatography were tested. A relation between concentration of enzyme and cyclic AMP-dependence was observed for both isoenzymes. Moderate dilution of isoenzyme PK II decreased the stimulation of the enzyme by cyclic AMP. Isoenzyme PK I could be diluted 200 times more than isoenzyme PK II before the same decrease in cyclic AMP-dependence appeared. Long-term incubation with high concentrations of histone increased the activity in the absence of cyclic AMP relative to the activity in the presence of the nucleotide. This was more pronounced for isoenzyme PK II than for isoenzyme PK I. The cyclic AMP concentration needed to give half-maximal binding of the nucleotide was the same as the cyclic AMP concentration (Ka) at which the protein kinase had 50% of its maximal activity. The close correlation between binding and activation is also found in the presence of KCl, which increased the apparent activation constant (Ka) for cyclic AMP. With increasing [KCl], a progressively higher proportion of the histone phosphorylation observed in cytosol was due to cyclic AMP-independent (casein) kinases, leading to an overestimation of the degree of activation of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases present. The relative contributions of cyclic AMP-dependent and -independent kinases to histone phosphorylation at different ionic strengths was determined by use of heat-stable inhibitor and phospho-cellulose chromatography. 相似文献

The phosphorylation of purified phospholamban by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A pure bovine phospholamban sample was phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase maximally to about 1 mol of phosphate/mol of protein (Mr 25,000), whereas phospholamban purified from bovine cardiac SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum) vesicle prephosphorylated by the protein kinase was found to contain 4.6 mol of phosphate/mol of phospholamban. The decrease in phospholamban phosphorylation occurred during the protein purification at the immunoaffinity chromatography step. The protein phosphorylation could be restored by the addition of the affinity column flow-through fraction to the phosphorylation reaction. The phosphorylation-stimulating activity of the flow-through fraction was resistant to boiling and trypsin treatment and extractable by organic solvent, suggesting that the endogenous factor(s) is lipid. Various phospholipids were found capable of stimulating the phosphorylation of phospholamban by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, but only phosphatidylinositol could stimulate the protein phosphorylation to a level achieved by the phosphorylation of SR membrane-bound phospholamban, about 5 mol of phosphate/mol. Phospholamban phosphorylated in the presence of phosphatidylinositol showed similar sites of phosphorylation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis mobility shifts as the phospholamban isolated from phosphorylated SR vesicles. Results of the present study suggest that phospholamban in SR is embedded in a phosphatidylinositol-rich microenvironment, and that this specific environment may be important for the regulation of Ca2+ pump by phospholamban. 相似文献

Native polyacrylamide gels have been used to resolve protein kinase isoenzymes from cultured cells and the protein kinases have been identified by carrying out phosphorylation reactions in the gel. Following electrophoresis the gels were incubated with histone and [gamma-32P]ATP. The gels were then thoroughly washed and dried down, and the protein kinases were located by autoradiography. Protein kinase activity as measured in the gel system was a linear function of cytosol protein concentration up to about 100 microgram per channel and incorporation of 32P into histone was time dependent. Three bands of protein kinase activity were resolved in cytosol samples from baby hamster kidney (BHK) fibroblasts. The band with the lowest relative mobility utilized histone IIA or casein equally well as substrate protein whereas bands 2 and 3 demonstrated a clear preference for histone. Bands 2 and 3 displayed a relative mobility in electrophoresis that was identical to that observed for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases I and II from rat liver. Treatment of cytosol samples with cyclic AMP prior to electrophoresis resulted in the disappearance of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases from the gel profile. This method was employed to identify bands 2 and 3 as cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases. The protein kinases in growth-arrested cells were compared with proliferating cells. We have observed a 3.5-fold increase in the activity of Type II protein kinase as the cells arrest growth in G1 phase of the cell cycle. This increase in Type II is correlated with the increase in cells blocked in G1 and a decrease in Type II activity appears to be an early event in permitting cells to leave G1 and resume growth. 相似文献

Chronic Antidepressant Administration Alters the Subcellular Distribution of Cyclic AMP-Dependent Protein Kinase in Rat Frontal Cortex 总被引:14,自引:7,他引:7
The influence of chronic administration of antidepressants on cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity was examined in rat frontal cortex. Chronic administration of imipramine, tranylcypromine, or electroconvulsive seizures decreased cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in soluble fractions by approximately 25%, whereas enzyme activity was increased in the particulate fractions by approximately 20%. In contrast, enzyme activity in crude homogenates was not altered. This effect appears to be specific to antidepressant drugs, because representatives of several other classes of psychotropic drugs-namely, haloperidol, morphine, and diazepam--failed to alter either soluble or particulate levels of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in this brain region following chronic administration. When the total particulate fraction was subfractionated, it was found that chronic imipramine treatment significantly increased the activity of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in crude nuclear fractions but not in crude synaptosomal or microsomal fractions. Taken together, the data raise the possibility that chronic antidepressant treatments may stimulate the translocation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from the cytosol to the nucleus. This effect would represent a novel action of antidepressants that could contribute to the long-term adaptive changes in brain thought to be essential for the clinical actions of these treatments. 相似文献

Abstract: Adenylate cyclase activity in the particulate fraction from rat brain was markedly enhanced by the cytoplasmic fraction, which itself contained negligible enzyme activity, indicating the presence of some stimulatory factor(s) in the supernatant. Activation of adenylate cyclase was dependent on the supernatant concentration up to 1 mgiml, but higher concentration of the supernatant did not produce further activation of the enzyme. The supernatant retained its stimulatory activity after boiling for 5 min, extensive dialysis, and phospholipase A and DNAase treatments, but was completely inactivated by digestion with trypsin. Ability of the supernatant to activate adenylate cyclase was low during fetal life, increased severalfold neonatally, and declined somewhat thereafter to an adult level. Adenylate cyclase in the particulate fraction from 2-day-old rat brain was also activated by GTP, calcium-dependent regulator (CDR) of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase in the presence of 100 pM-Ca1 , and by NaF. The supernatant produced additive activation of the enzyme with NaF but not with GTP or CDR, suggesting a common site of action of the supernatant factor(s) and the latter two agents. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of the boiled supernatant resolved the heat-stable proteins into several peaks. Adenylate cyclase activator eluted in two distinct peaks, one of which also contained CDR activity. It is concluded that rat brain supernatant contains some factor in addition to CDR which activates particulate adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

1. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of mouse brain cytosol indicated the presence of only the type II isoenzyme of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Mouse heart cytosol contained approximately equal amounts of the type I and type II isoenzymes. 2. Both brain and heart type II isoenzymes reassociated after a transient exposure to cyclic AMP, but the heart type I isoenzyme remained dissociated. 3. Elution of brain cytosol continuously exposed to cyclic AMP resolved multiple peaks of protein kinase and cyclic AMP-binding activities. A single peak of kinase and multiple peaks of cyclic AMP-binding activities were found under the same conditions with heart cytosol. Various control experiments suggested that the heterogeneity within the brain type II isoenzymic class had not been caused by proteolysis. 4. Kinetic experiments with unfractionated brain cytosol showed that the binding of cyclic AMP, the dissociation of cyclic AMP from protein and the rate of heat denaturation of the cyclic AMP-binding activity gave results consistent with the presence of multiple binding species. 5. It concluded that the type II isoenzymic peak obtained by DEAE-cellulose chromatography of mouse brain cytosol represents a class of enzymes containing multiple regulatory and catalytic subunits. The two heart cytosol isoenzymes contain a common catalytic subunit. The degree of protein kinase 'microheterogeneity", defined as the presence of multiple regulatory and/or catalytic subunits within a single isoenzymic class, appears to be tissue-specific. 相似文献

Adrenalin and glucagon inhibit glycogen, fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis by elevation of cyclic AMP, activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and increased phosphorylation of the rate-limiting enzymes of these pathways. Here, we review recent evidence which indicates that inhibition of these biosynthetic pathways in muscle, adipose tissue and liver is much more indirect than has previously been supposed. In particular, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase does not appear to inhibit glycogen synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and HMG-CoA reductase by phosphorylating them directly. It appears to achieve the same end result by inactivation of the protein phosphatases which dephosphorylate these regulatory enzymes in vivo, although this has only been established definitively in the case of glycogen synthesis. 相似文献
