In cultured chicken myotubes, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a peptide present in spinal cord motoneurons, increased by 1.5-fold the number of surface acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and by threefold AChR alpha-subunit mRNA level without affecting the level of muscular alpha-actin mRNA. Cholera toxin (CT), an activator of adenylate cyclase, produced a similar effect, which did not add up with that of CGRP. In contrast, tetrodotoxin, a blocker of voltage-sensitive Na+ channels, elevated the level of AChR alpha-subunit mRNA on top of the increase caused by either CGRP or CT. 12-O-Tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C, markedly decreased the cell surface and total content of [125I]alpha BGT-binding sites and reduced the rate of appearance of AChR at the surface of the myotubes without reducing the level of AChR alpha-subunit mRNA. Moreover, TPA inhibited the increase of AChR alpha-subunit mRNA caused by tetrodotoxin without affecting that produced by CGRP or CT. Under the same conditions, TPA decreased the level of muscular alpha-actin mRNA and increased that of nonmuscular beta- and gamma-actins mRNA. These data suggest that distinct second messengers are involved in the regulation of AChR biosynthesis by CGRP and muscle activity and that these two pathways may contribute to the development of different patterns of AChR gene expression in junctional and extrajunctional areas of the muscle fiber. 相似文献

Involvement of ion channels in the induction of proenkephalin A gene expression by nicotine and cAMP in bovine chromaffin cells 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The involvement of Na+ and Ca2+ channels in the stimulatory effect of nicotine and cAMP upon proenkephalin A mRNA (mRNA ENK) levels in primary cultures of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells was analyzed. Nicotine (10 microM) caused about a 2-3-fold increase in mRNA ENK which was abolished by the nicotinic receptor antagonist tubocurarine (4 X 10(-7) M), inhibited by the Ca2+ channel antagonist nifedipine (100 nM) abolished by the Ca2+ channel blocker D600 (10 microM), and augmented by the Ca2+ channel agonist BayK 8644 (100 nM). In contrast, blockade of the Na+ channel by tetrodotoxin (1 microM) did not modulate the nicotine-induced increase in mRNA ENK. Incubation of the cells with forskolin (25 microM) and 8-bromo-cAMP (1 mM) also resulted in an increase in mRNA ENK levels that was inhibited by the Ca2+ channel blocker verapamil (50 microM) and nifedipine (100 nM), whereas it was enhanced by BayK 8644 (100 nM). In addition, the effect of forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP was decreased by the Na+ channel blocker tetrodotoxin (1 microM). These results suggest that the induction of proenkephalin A gene expression by cAMP and nicotine involves the modulation of ion channels. It appears that changes in Ca2+ flux are involved in mediating this induction. The dihydropyridines nifedipine and BayK 8644 and the Ca2+ channel blockers verapamil and D600 all modulate 45Ca uptake. In addition, we show that incubation of the cells with A23187 (10(-7) M), a Ca2+ ionophore, resulted in an increase in mRNA ENK, indicating that changes in intracellular Ca2+ levels may indeed modulate proenkephalin A gene expression. Although it appears that an elevation of mRNA ENK upon nicotinic receptor activation occurs rapidly (an increase could be detected after 2 h incubation), the findings that the rise in mRNA ENK could be abolished by the Ca2+ channel blocker D600 but not affected by tetrodotoxin (1 microM), and that agents such as KCl (20 mM) and veratridine (5 microM) that increase mRNA ENK by activation of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels do not result in an increase in intracellular cAMP, provide no evidence for a major role of the adenylate cyclase system in the inducing effect of nicotine upon proenkephalin A gene expression. 相似文献

Regulation of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump in the cell is of critical importance in maintaining calcium homeostasis. Since protein kinase C is known to regulate functions of cellular proteins by direct phosphorylation or by inducing their gene expression, we investigated the possible involvement of protein kinase C in the regulation of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump. The Ca2+ pump was isolated by immunoprecipitation from [32P]orthophosphate-labeled cultured rat aortic endothelial cells grown in the absence or presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), an activator of protein kinase C. PMA treatment of cells led to a rapid increase in the phosphorylation level (1.3-fold) within 5 min and a further increase to 2.9-fold after 3 h. Prolonged PMA treatment also induced the accumulation of the Ca2+ pump mRNA, followed by increased levels of the pump protein. The peak level of the pump mRNA induction occurred at 4 h and was 8-20-fold higher than the control culture without PMA. The rate of the Ca2+ pump protein accumulation was slower, reaching a maximum of 3.5-fold after 6 h. Induction of the pump mRNA was suppressed by the protein kinase C inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine and by down-regulation of protein kinase C. Inactive phorbol ester 4 alpha-phorbol didecanoate also failed to mimic the PMA effect. These results suggest that the induction of Ca2+ pump expression is mediated by a protein kinase C-dependent mechanism. Furthermore, since the induction of the Ca2+ pump mRNA was blocked when cycloheximide and PMA were added together, this suggests that newly synthesized protein factor is needed to produce the mRNA induction. Our results suggest that protein kinase C is involved in the regulation of the Ca2+ pump in endothelial cells. At the protein level, it modifies the Ca2+ pump by phosphorylation, and at the gene level, it stimulates the expression of its mRNA and thereby increases the amount of the pump protein. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of voltage-sensitive Na+ channels in neurons by protein kinase C slows Na+ channel inactivation and reduces peak Na+ currents. Na+ channels purified from rat brain and reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles under conditions that restore Na+ channel function were rapidly phosphorylated by protein kinase C on their 260-kDa alpha subunit. The phosphorylation reaction required Ca2+, diolein, and phosphatidylserine for activation of protein kinase C, and the rate of phosphorylation of reconstituted Na+ channels was 3- to 4-fold faster than for Na+ channels in detergent solution. Phosphorylation was on serine residues in three distinct tryptic phosphopeptides designated A, B, and C. Up to 2.5 mol of phosphate were incorporated per mol of Na+ channel. Following maximum phosphorylation by protein kinase C, cAMP-dependent protein kinase was able to incorporate more than 2.25 mol of phosphate per mol of Na+ channel indicating that these two kinases phosphorylate distinct sites. However, prior phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase prevented phosphorylation of phosphopeptide B indicating that both kinases phosphorylate the site in this peptide. Phosphopeptide B shown here to be phosphorylated by protein kinase C and phosphopeptide 7 previously shown to be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase co-migrate on two-dimensional phosphopeptide maps and evidently are identical. The reduction in peak Na+ currents caused by both protein kinase C and cAMP-dependent protein kinase may result from phosphorylation of this single common site. 相似文献

The acetylcholine receptor (AChR) synthesis, insertion and degradation rates are regulated by numerous intracellular and extracellular agents. Recent studies have shown that Ca2+ and Ca2+ ionophores have a profound regulatory effect on the appearance of AChR clusters and AChR synthesis. These regulatory effects may be mediated through the activation of calcium and phospholipid-dependent protein kinases by agents such as phorbol esters. In this study, we have utilized 4-beta-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) in order to determine whether the activation of protein kinase C exerts a regulatory effect on the expression of AChRs in cultured chick myotubes. Our results show that 4-beta-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate decreased intracellular AChRs and suppressed AChR synthesis without affecting the turnover rate. Control and PMA treated cells labeled with [35S] methionine and immunoprecipitated with a monoclonal antibody to the alpha subunit of AChRs (mAb35) revealed a significant decrease in radioactivity precipitated after exposure to PMA. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed no major changes in protein patterns, or in newly synthesized proteins as determined by [35S] methionine incorporation and autoradiography. Other enzymes important in muscle metabolism were not affected by PMA treatment. Our results indicate that activation of protein kinase C results in the suppression of AChRs synthesis and dispersal of AChR clusters. 相似文献

Presynaptic Ca2+ channels are inhibited by metabotropic receptors. A possible mechanism for this inhibition is that G protein betagamma subunits modulate the binding of the Ca2+ channel beta subunit on the Ca2+ channel complex and induce a conformational state from which channel opening is more reluctant. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the binding of Ca2+ channel beta and G protein beta subunits on the two separate binding sites, i.e. the loopI-II and the C terminus, and on the full-length P/Q-type alpha12.1 subunit by using a modified mammalian two-hybrid system and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements. Analysis of the interactions on the isolated bindings sites revealed that the Ca2+ channel beta1b subunit induces a strong fluorescent signal when interacting with the loopI-II but not with the C terminus. In contrast, the G protein beta subunit induces FRET signals on both the C terminus and loopI-II. Analysis of the interactions on the full-length channel indicates that Ca2+ channel beta1b and G protein beta subunits bind to the alpha1 subunit at the same time. Coexpression of the G protein increases the FRET signal between alpha1/beta1b FRET pairs but not for alpha1/beta1b FRET pairs where the C terminus was deleted from the alpha1 subunit. The results suggest that the G protein alters the orientation and/or association between the Ca2+ channel beta and alpha12.1 subunits, which involves the C terminus of the alpha1 subunit and may corresponds to a new conformational state of the channel. 相似文献

Frequent strong depolarizations facilitate Ca2+ channels in various cell types by shifting their gating behavior towards mode 2, which is characterized by long openings and high probability of being open. In cardiac cells, the same type of gating behavior is potentiated by beta-adrenoceptors presumably acting via phosphorylation of a protein identical to or associated with the channel. Voltage-dependent phosphorylation has also been reported to underlie Ca2+ channel facilitation in chromaffin adrenal medulla and in skeletal muscle cells. We studied a possible voltage-dependent facilitation of the principal channel forming alpha 1-subunit of the dihydropyridine-sensitive smooth muscle Ca2+ channel. Single channel and whole-cell Ca2+ currents were recorded in Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing the class Cb Ca2+ channel alpha 1-subunit. Strong depolarizing voltage-clamp steps preceding the test pulse resulted in a 2- to 3-fold increase of the single Ca2+ channel activity and induction of mode 2-like gating behavior. Accordingly we observed a significant potentiation of the whole-cell current by approximately 50%. In contrast to the previous suggestions we found no experimental evidence for involvement of channel phosphorylation by protein kinases (cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C and other protein kinases utilizing ATP gamma S) in the control and facilitated current. The data demonstrate that the L-type Ca2+ channel alpha 1-subunit solely expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells is subject to a voltage-dependent facilitation but not to phosphorylation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels from skeletal muscle are multisubunit proteins and are regulated by protein phosphorylation. The purpose of this study was to determine: 1) which subunits are the preferential targets of various protein kinases when the channels are phosphorylated in vitro in their native membrane-bound state and 2) the consequences of these phosphorylations in functional assays. Using as substrates channels present in purified transverse (T) tubule membranes, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), and a multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM protein kinase) preferentially phosphorylated the 165-kDa alpha 1 subunit to an extent that was 2-5-fold greater than the 52-kDa beta subunit. A protein kinase endogenous to the skeletal muscle membranes preferentially phosphorylated the beta peptide and showed little activity toward the alpha 1 subunit; however, the extent of phosphorylation was low. Reconstitution of partially purified channels into liposomes was used to determine the functional consequences of phosphorylation by these kinases. Phosphorylation of channels by PKA or PKC resulted in an activation of the channels that was observed as increases in both the rate and extent of Ca2+ influx. However, phosphorylation of channels by either the CaM protein kinase or the endogenous kinase in T-tubule membranes was without effect. Phosphorylation did not affect the sensitivities of the channels toward the dihydropyridines. Taken together, the results demonstrate that the alpha 1 subunit is the preferred substrate of PKA, PKC, and CaM protein kinase when the channels are phosphorylated in the membrane-bound state and that phosphorylation of the channels by PKA and PKC, but not by CaM protein kinase or an endogenous T-tubule membrane protein kinase, results in activation of the dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels from skeletal muscle. 相似文献

L-Type calcium channel was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with RNAs coding for different cardiac Ca2+ channel subunits, or with total heart RNA. The effects of activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by the phorbol ester PMA (4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) were studied. Currents through channels composed of the main (alpha 1) subunit alone were initially increased and then decreased by PMA. A similar biphasic modulation was observed when the alpha 1 subunit was expressed in combination with alpha 2/delta, beta and/or gamma subunits, and when the channels were expressed following injection of total rat heart RNA. No effects on the voltage dependence of activation were observed. The effects of PMA were blocked by staurosporine, a protein kinase inhibitor. beta subunit moderate the enhancement caused by PMA. We conclude that both enhancement and inhibition of cardiac L-type Ca2+ currents by PKC are mediated via an effect on the alpha 1 subunit, while the beta subunit may play a mild modulatory role. 相似文献

Multiple regulation of proenkephalin gene expression by protein kinase C 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

In the present study we investigated the role of protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme)-mediated processes in the regulation of proenkephalin gene expression in primary cultures of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Activators of protein kinase C such as 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol, mezerein, and the phorbol esters phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and phorbol 12,13-didecanoate induced a time-dependent increase in proenkephalin mRNA levels, whereas the inactive phorbol ester 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate had no effect. The increase in phorbol ester-induced proenkephalin mRNA was potentiated by low concentrations of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187, suggesting an interaction between protein kinase- and Ca2+-mediated processes in the regulation of proenkephalin mRNA. The phorbol ester-induced stimulation does not appear to be mediated by an interaction with the cAMP-generating system or increases in Ca2+ uptake. However, when proenkephalin mRNA levels were stimulated by KCl (10 mM) and the dihydropyridine BayK8644, PMA exhibited an inhibitory effect on proenkephalin mRNA, which was detectable at a 10-fold lower concentration of PMA than the stimulatory effect. This inhibitory effect appears to be mediated by an inhibition of Ca2+ entry through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, as suggested by 45Ca2+ uptake experiments. Thus, the net effect of PMA depends on and varies with the state of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel activity. A third mode of action by protein kinase C to modulate proenkephalin gene expression is by interaction with the phosphatidylinositol second messenger system. Stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis and proenkephalin mRNA by histaminic H1-receptor activation was inhibited by low concentrations of PMA. We suggest that protein kinase C may act as a positive and negative regulator of proenkephalin gene expression by interacting with at least three receptor-coupled second messenger systems. 相似文献

We have examined the effects of cAMP elevating agents on the phosphorylation of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels in intact newborn chick skeletal muscle. In situ treatment with the beta-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol resulted in the phosphorylation of the 170-kDa alpha 1 subunit in the intact cells, as evidenced by a marked decrease in the ability of the alpha 1 peptide to serve as a substrate in in vitro back phosphorylation reactions with [gamma-32P]ATP and the purified catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The phosphorylation of the 52-kDa beta subunit was not affected. The effects of isoproterenol were time- and concentration-dependent and were mimicked by other cAMP elevating agents but not by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 or a protein kinase C activator. To test for functional effects of the observed phosphorylation, purified channels were reconstituted into liposomes containing entrapped fluo-3, and depolarization-sensitive and dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ influx was measured. Channels from isoproterenol-treated muscle exhibited an increased rate and extent of Ca2+ influx compared to control preparations. The effects of isoproterenol pretreatment could be mimicked by phosphorylating the channels with cAMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro. These results demonstrate that the alpha 1 subunit of the dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2(+)-channels is the primary target of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation in intact muscle and that the phosphorylation of this protein leads to activation of channel activity. 相似文献

Antagonistic effects of calcium ionophores and phorbol esters on T cell receptor mRNA levels in human thymocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Levels of mRNA of the T cell antigen receptors (TcR) in human thymocytes are differentially regulated in response to distinct intracellular signals. Activation of protein kinase C by the phorbol ester, tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate or other phorbol esters increases the levels of the alpha and beta T cell receptor (TcR-alpha, TcR-beta) mRNA, whereas an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+, induced by ionomycin or other Ca2+ ionophores, results in a decrease of alpha and beta TcR mRNA levels. In contrast, ionomycin increases the expression TcR-gamma mRNA whereas tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate prevents this induction. Our results suggest the existence of two opposing intracellular pathways that control expression of TcR-alpha and TcR-beta mRNA levels, on the one hand and TcR-gamma mRNA, on the other. These results provide the first evidence for antagonistic actions of protein kinase C and cytosolic-free Ca2+ on gene expression. 相似文献

Coexpression of the beta subunit (KV,Cabeta) with the alpha subunit of mammalian large conductance Ca2+- activated K+ (BK) channels greatly increases the apparent Ca2+ sensitivity of the channel. Using single-channel analysis to investigate the mechanism for this increase, we found that the beta subunit increased open probability (Po) by increasing burst duration 20-100-fold, while having little effect on the durations of the gaps (closed intervals) between bursts or on the numbers of detected open and closed states entered during gating. The effect of the beta subunit was not equivalent to raising intracellular Ca2+ in the absence of the beta subunit, suggesting that the beta subunit does not act by increasing all the Ca2+ binding rates proportionally. The beta subunit also inhibited transitions to subconductance levels. It is the retention of the BK channel in the bursting states by the beta subunit that increases the apparent Ca2+ sensitivity of the channel. In the presence of the beta subunit, each burst of openings is greatly amplified in duration through increases in both the numbers of openings per burst and in the mean open times. Native BK channels from cultured rat skeletal muscle were found to have bursting kinetics similar to channels expressed from alpha subunits alone. 相似文献
