Abstract
The serine-threonine protein kinase, protein kinase C-δ (PKCδ), is emerging as a bi-functional regulator of cell death and proliferation. Studies in PKCδ-/- mice have confirmed a pro-apoptotic role for this kinase in response to DNA damage and a tumor promoter role in some oncogenic contexts. In non-transformed cells, inhibition of PKCδ suppresses the release of cytochrome c and caspase activation, indicating a function upstream of apoptotic pathways. Data from PKCδ-/- mice demonstrate a role for PKCδ in the execution of DNA damage-induced and physiologic apoptosis. This has led to the important finding that inhibitors of PKCδ can be used therapeutically to reduce irradiation and chemotherapy-induced toxicity. By contrast, PKCδ is a tumor promoter in mouse models of mammary gland and lung cancer, and increased PKCδ expression is a negative prognostic indicator in Her2+ and other subtypes of human breast cancer. Understanding how these distinct functions of PKCδ are regulated is critical for the design of therapeutics to target this pathway. This review will discuss what is currently known about biological roles of PKCδ and prospects for targeting PKCδ in human disease.

Abstract
cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) plays important regulatory roles during mouse spermatogenesis. PKA-mediated signaling has been shown to regulate gene expression, chromatin condensation, capacitation, and motility during sperm development and behavior, although how PKA is regulated in spatiotemporal manners during spermatogenesis is not fully understood. In the present study, we found that PKA subunit isoforms are expressed and localized differently in meiotic and post-meiotic mouse spermatogenic cells. Regulatory subunit I alpha (RIα) is expressed in spermatocytes and round spermatids, where it is localized diffusely throughout the cytoplasm of cells. During late spermiogenesis, RIα abundance gradually decreases. On the other hand, RIIα is expressed constantly throughout meiotic and post-meiotic stages, and is associated with cytoskeletal structures. Among several A kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) expressed in the testis, sperm-specific AKAP3 can be found in the cytoplasm of elongating spermatids and interacts with RIα, as demonstrated by both in vivo and in vitro experiments. In mature sperm, AKAP3 is exclusively found in the principal piece of the flagellum, coincident with only RIIα. Mutagenesis experiments further showed that the preferential interactions of AKAP3 with PKA regulatory subunits are mediated by two highly conserved amphipathic peptides located in the N-terminal region of AKAP3. Thus, AKAP3 is a dual-specificity molecule that modulates PKA isotypes in a spatiotemporal manner during mouse spermatogenesis.

Abstract
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a synaptic, autophosphorylating kinase that is essential for learning and memory. Previous models have suggested that CaMKII functions as a bistable switch that could be the molecular correlate of long-term memory, but experiments have failed to validate these predictions. These models involved significant approximations to overcome the combinatorial complexity inherent in a multisubunit, multistate system. Here, we develop a stochastic particle-based model of CaMKII activation and dynamics that overcomes combinatorial complexity without significant approximations. We report four major findings. First, the CaMKII model system is never bistable at resting calcium concentrations, which suggests that CaMKII activity does not function as the biochemical switch underlying long-term memory. Second, the steady-state activation curves are either laserlike or steplike. Both are characterized by a well-defined threshold for activation, which suggests that thresholding is a robust feature of this system. Third, transiently activated CaMKII can maintain its activity over the time course of many experiments, and such slow deactivation may account for the few reports of bistability in the literature. And fourth, under in vivo conditions, increases in phosphatase activity can increase CaMKII activity. This is a surprising and counterintuitive effect, as dephosphorylation is generally associated with CaMKII deactivation.

Abstract
Podocytes are kidney cells with specialized morphology that is required for glomerular filtration. Diseases, such as diabetes, or drug exposure that causes disruption of the podocyte foot process morphology results in kidney pathophysiology. Proteomic analysis of glomeruli isolated from rats with puromycin-induced kidney disease and control rats indicated that protein kinase A (PKA), which is activated by adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), is a key regulator of podocyte morphology and function. In podocytes, cAMP signaling activates cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) to enhance expression of the gene encoding a differentiation marker, synaptopodin, a protein that associates with actin and promotes its bundling. We constructed and experimentally verified a β-adrenergic receptor-driven network with multiple feedback and feedforward motifs that controls CREB activity. To determine how the motifs interacted to regulate gene expression, we mapped multicompartment dynamical models, including information about protein subcellular localization, onto the network topology using Petri net formalisms. These computational analyses indicated that the juxtaposition of multiple feedback and feedforward motifs enabled the prolonged CREB activation necessary for synaptopodin expression and actin bundling. Drug-induced modulation of these motifs in diseased rats led to recovery of normal morphology and physiological function in vivo. Thus, analysis of regulatory motifs using network dynamics can provide insights into pathophysiology that enable predictions for drug intervention strategies to treat kidney disease.

Abstract
The cyclic purine nucleotides cAMP and cGMP are well-characterized second messengers and activators of PKA and PKG, respectively. In contrast, the functions of the cyclic pyrimidine nucleotides cCMP and cUMP are poorly understood. cCMP induces relaxation of smooth muscle via PKGI, and phosphodiesterases differentially hydrolyze cNMPs. Here, we report that cNMPs differentially activate PKA isoforms and PKGIα. The combination of cCMP with cAMP reduced the EC(50) of cAMP for PKA. PKGIα exhibited higher specificity for the cognate cNMP than PKA. Our data support a role of cCMP and cUMP as second messengers.

Abstract
An important focus in cell biology is understanding how different feedback mechanisms regulate G protein-coupled receptor systems. Toward this end we investigated the regulation of endogenous beta(2) adrenergic receptors (beta2ARs) and phosphodiesterases (PDEs) by measuring cAMP signals in single HEK-293 cells. We monitored cAMP signals using genetically encoded cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels. This high resolution approach allowed us to make several observations. (a) Exposure of cells to 1 muM isoproterenol triggered transient increases in cAMP levels near the plasma membrane. Pretreatment of cells with 10 muM rolipram, a PDE4 inhibitor, prevented the decline in the isoproterenol-induced cAMP signals. (b) 1 muM isoproterenol triggered a sustained, twofold increase in phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) activity. (c) The decline in isoproterenol-dependent cAMP levels was not significantly altered by including 20 nM PKI, a PKA inhibitor, or 3 muM 59-74E, a GRK inhibitor, in the pipette solution; however, the decline in the cAMP levels was prevented when both PKI and 59-74E were included in the pipette solution. (d) After an initial 5-min stimulation with isoproterenol and a 5-min washout, little or no recovery of the signal was observed during a second 5-min stimulation with isoproterenol. (e) The amplitude of the signal in response to the second isoproterenol stimulation was not altered when PKI was included in the pipette solution, but was significantly increased when 59-74E was included. Taken together, these data indicate that either GRK-mediated desensitization of beta2ARs or PKA-mediated stimulation of PDE4 activity is sufficient to cause declines in cAMP signals. In addition, the data indicate that GRK-mediated desensitization is primarily responsible for a sustained suppression of beta2AR signaling. To better understand the interplay between receptor desensitization and PDE4 activity in controlling cAMP signals, we developed a mathematical model of this system. Simulations of cAMP signals using this model are consistent with the experimental data and demonstrate the importance of receptor levels, receptor desensitization, basal adenylyl cyclase activity, and regulation of PDE activity in controlling cAMP signals, and hence, on the overall sensitivity of the system.

Abstract
We have previously used cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels as sensors to measure cAMP signals in human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells. We found that prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) triggered transient increases in cAMP concentration near the plasma membrane, whereas total cAMP levels rose to a steady plateau over the same time course. In addition, we presented evidence that the decline in the near-membrane cAMP levels was due primarily to a PGE(1)-induced stimulation of phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity, and that the differences between near-membrane and total cAMP levels were largely due to diffusional barriers and differential PDE activity. Here, we examine the mechanisms regulating transient, near-membrane cAMP signals. We observed that 5-min stimulation of HEK-293 cells with prostaglandins triggered a two- to threefold increase in PDE4 activity. Extracellular application of H89 (a PKA inhibitor) inhibited stimulation of PDE4 activity. Similarly, when we used CNG channels to monitor cAMP signals we found that both extracellular and intracellular (via the whole-cell patch pipette) application of H89, or the highly selective PKA inhibitor, PKI, prevented the decline in prostaglandin-induced responses. Following pretreatment with rolipram (a PDE4 inhibitor), H89 had little or no effect on near-membrane or total cAMP levels. Furthermore, disrupting the subcellular localization of PKA with the A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) disruptor Ht31 prevented the decline in the transient response. Based on these data we developed a plausible kinetic model that describes prostaglandin-induced cAMP signals. This model has allowed us to quantitatively demonstrate the importance of PKA-mediated stimulation of PDE4 activity in shaping near-membrane cAMP signals.

Abstract
The cardiac cell is a complex biological system where various processes interact to generate electrical excitation (the action potential, AP) and contraction. During AP generation, membrane ion channels interact nonlinearly with dynamically changing ionic concentrations and varying transmembrane voltage, and are subject to regulatory processes. In recent years, a large body of knowledge has accumulated on the molecular structure of cardiac ion channels, their function, and their modification by genetic mutations that are associated with cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. However, ion channels are typically studied in isolation (in expression systems or isolated membrane patches), away from the physiological environment of the cell where they interact to generate the AP. A major challenge remains the integration of ion-channel properties into the functioning, complex and highly interactive cell system, with the objective to relate molecular-level processes and their modification by disease to whole-cell function and clinical phenotype. In this article we describe how computational biology can be used to achieve such integration. We explain how mathematical (Markov) models of ion-channel kinetics are incorporated into integrated models of cardiac cells to compute the AP. We provide examples of mathematical (computer) simulations of physiological and pathological phenomena, including AP adaptation to changes in heart rate, genetic mutations in SCN5A and HERG genes that are associated with fatal cardiac arrhythmias, and effects of the CaMKII regulatory pathway and beta-adrenergic cascade on the cell electrophysiological function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of inhaled nitric oxide on endogenous cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the intact lamb, and to determine the potential role of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the rebound pulmonary hypertension associated with nitric oxide withdrawal. DESIGN Prospective, placebo-controlled experimental study. SETTING University-based basic science research laboratory. SUBJECTS One-month-old lambs. INTERVENTIONS Six 1-month-old control lambs, and 6 milrinone- (phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitor) treated lambs, were mechanically ventilated. Inhaled nitric oxide (40 ppm) was administered for 24 hrs and then acutely withdrawn. Sequential peripheral lung biopsies were obtained before, during, and 2 hrs after withdrawing inhaled nitric oxide therapy. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS In control lambs, initiation of nitric oxide decreased left pulmonary vascular resistance by 29.6%, and withdrawal rapidly increased pulmonary vascular resistance by 77.1% (p <.05). Lung tissue cyclic adenosine monophosphate concentrations decreased by 25.3% during nitric oxide therapy (p <.05). In milrinone-treated lambs, nitric oxide decreased pulmonary vascular resistance by 26.6% (p <.05), but pulmonary vascular resistance was unchanged after acute withdrawal. Lung tissue cyclic adenosine monophosphate concentrations were preserved during nitric oxide therapy. CONCLUSIONS Inhaled nitric oxide produces potent pulmonary vasodilation by activating soluble guanylate cyclase and increasing smooth muscle cell concentrations of guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate. However, alterations in endogenous nitric oxide/guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate during inhaled nitric oxide have been implicated in the clinically significant increases in pulmonary vascular resistance noted upon its acute withdrawal. Previous in vitro data suggest that exogenous nitric oxide/guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate can also alter cyclic adenosine monophosphate concentrations via their effect on cyclic adenosine monophosphate production and metabolism. The current in vivo study demonstrates that lung tissue cyclic adenosine monophosphate concentrations are decreased during inhaled nitric oxide and suggests a role for decreased cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the rebound pulmonary hypertension noted upon inhaled nitric oxide withdrawal. Milrinone may be a useful adjunct therapy during inhaled nitric oxide to preserve cyclic adenosine monophosphate concentrations and prevent rebound pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
The role of phospholipids (PLs) in the signal transduction pathways that are activated by a mitogenic stimulus (foetal calf serum) in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes (EPI) was investigated. Only phosphatidylinositol-bis-phosphate was significantly altered in this process. Other phosphoinositides, including major PLs such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, were unaltered. Lysophosphatidic acid, reported to be the primary active substance in effects of serum in other systems, had no mitogenic activity when added to epimastigote cultures. Involvement of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C was established using the inhibitors ET-18-OCH3 and U73122, which prevented phosphatidylinositol-bis-phosphate hydrolysis; the latter compound decreased T. cruz proliferation. The intracellular signalling downstream to the phospholipase C was mediated by Ca2+/PL-dependent protein kinase and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, judging from the marked decrease in replication caused by the specific inhibitors staurosporine, derythro-sphingosine and KN-93. Previous reports have demonstrated a dual control of cell growth in EPI, whose proliferation is stimulated by the activation of a phospholipase C system and inhibited by activation of an adenylate cyclase system. Investigating this 'cross-talk' phenomenon, we observed that an increase in intracellular cAMP inhibited growth mediated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase, but did not cause PL alterations, and also did not prevent the effect of serum on them.

Abstract
Binding of two long wavelength fluorescent cAMP analogues, 8-thioacetamido-fluorescein-cAMP (SAF-cAMP) and 8-thioacetamido-rhodamine-cAMP (SAR-cAMP), to the RI (from bovine muscle) and RII (from bovine heart) regulatory subunits of cAMP dependent kinases has been studied. Displacement of [3H]cAMP from RI and RII and equilibrium dialysis measurements show that the fluorescent nucleotides are high affinity ligands for the cAMP binding sites. The binding is characterized by complex fluorescence spectral and fluorescence anisotropy changes, more evident for the fluorescein than for the rhodamine derivative. The fluorescence excitation spectrum of the bound SAF-cAMP is characterized by the appearance of a red shifted shoulder at 500-510 nm excitation wavelength region. Any change of the bound/free ratio in a solution equilibrium is accompanied by changes in fluorescence and anisotropy signals which are best detected at suitable wavelengths. It is proposed that fluorescence and anisotropy changes can distinguish between binding to type B (slow dissociating) and A (fast dissociating) cAMP binding sites of regulatory subunits. Applications of the fluorescent nucleotides to kinase localization and cAMP determination in living cells are discussed.

Abstract
The effects of different dietary fats on peritoneal macrophage plasma membrane fluidity, intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) production, GTP hydrolysis and TNF binding and TNF-induced IL1 and IL6 production was investigated. After a four week period, fluidity, as determined by both fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and anisotropy was lowest and highest in animals fed corn and fish oil respectively. After eight weeks feeding, lateral membrane movements were decreased substantially in fish, olive and coconut oil fed dietary groups, whereas an increase in the corn oil fed group was observed, no effect was observed in macrophages from the butter fed group. However, an increase in the packing was observed in macrophages from all dietary groups except in the olive oil fed group. GTPase values for the coconut oil and butter groups were higher than in any other dietary group. After receiving the diet for 8 weeks these differences between the groups were no longer apparent. Exposure of macrophages to TNF had no effect on the rate of GTP hydrolysis. A major enhancement of cAMP production became apparent between weeks 4 and 8 of dietary treatment. After 4 weeks on the diet, values were significantly higher from cells of animals fed corn and olive oils than from animals fed fish oil. After 8 weeks, while there was a general enhancement of production, further differences became apparent. Feeding corn and coconut oils resulted in the highest values and olive oil and chow in the lowest. It is proposed that fats rich in n-3 fatty acids (fish oils) alter membrane fluidity, decrease TNF binding affinity, GTPase activity and cAMP production which appears not to modify cytokine production after short term dietary supplementation. However, after long term feeding it appears that increases in the sensitivity of the TNF receptors plays a major role in modifying cytokine production.

Abstract
An in vitro culturing to examine the cyst stage of Toxoplasma gondii (ME49 strain) was investigated using murine peritoneal macrophages, and we also examined the effect of cAMP or DHFR inhibitors on the growth of bradyzoites. For experiments ICR mice were injected i.p. with 1,500 brain cysts. At 1, 3, 5 and 7 days, peritoneal exudates were isolated and then adherent peritoneal macrophages were cultured for 1, 3, 5 and 10 days. Growth pattern of bradyzoites was measured by [3H]-uracil uptake assay and morphological pattern of pseudocysts formed in macrophages was observed with Giemsa stain. Mostly bradyzoites were observed in the macrophages extracted at 3 and 5 days post infection. After 3 days in vitro, a number of pseudocysts were formed in the macrophages and the size of pseudocysts was increased during further 5 and 10 days in vitro culture. cAMP stimulated the growth of bradyzoites when in vivo 3 and 5 days and then in vitro 5 and 10 days conditions were applied. In case of DHFR inhibitors, pyrimethamine produced a linearly decremental effect with a conc.-dependent mode but methotrexate was not effective against intracellular bradyzoites or pseudocysts in this system. It was suggested that cyst-forming strain of T. gondii (ME49 strain) could be maintained and cultivated in vitro by use of murine peritoneal macrophages. In vivo 3 and 5 days and then in vitro 5 and 10 days conditions appeared to be suitable for culturing of bradyzoites. cAMP and pyrimethamine had an effect of stimulation and inhibition on the growth of bradyzoite, respectively.

Abstract
Structural lesions in cAMP-binding sites of regulatory (R) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase caused identical increases in apparent constants for cyclic nucleotide-dependent kinase activation in preparations from cells that were hemizygous or heterozygous for mutant R1 subunit expression. No wild-type kinase activation was observed in extracts from heterozygous mutant cells. This "dominance" was investigated by characterizing expression of wild-type and mutant R1 subunits and properties of protein kinase from S49 mouse lymphoma cell mutants heterozygous for expression of wild-type R1 subunits and R1 subunits with a lesion (Glu200) that inactivates cAMP-binding site A. By both studies of cAMP dissociation and two-dimensional gel analysis, wild-type R subunits comprised about 35% of total R1 subunits in heterozygous mutants. Synthesis of wild-type and mutant R1 subunits was equivalent, but wild-type subunits were degraded preferentially. Hydroxylapatite chromatography revealed a novel R1 subunit-containing species from heterozygous mutant preparations whose elution behavior suggested a trimeric kinase consisting of an R1 subunit dimer and one catalytic (C) subunit. Wild-type R1 subunit was found only in dimer and "trimer" peaks; the tetrameric kinase peak contained only mutant R1 subunit. It is concluded that C subunit binds preferentially to mutant R1 subunit in heterozygous cells forming either tetrameric kinase with mutant R1 subunit homodimers or trimeric kinase with R1 subunit heterodimers. This preferential binding results both in suppression of wild-type kinase activation and differential stabilization of mutant R1 subunits.

Abstract
The signal transduction mechanisms involved in interferon (IFN) gamma induction in human peripheral mononuclear lymphocyte nylon-nonadherent cells (NNA cells) by stimulation with poly(I):poly(C) are investigated. Significant enhancement of IFN gamma production by poly(I):poly(C) is observed in the presence of the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA, a protein kinase C (PKC) activator). Our study shows that in NNA cells, poly(I):poly(C) with or without TPA causes prolonged activation of cytosolic PKC of NNA cells for at least 120 min. The level of activation of PKC is quite remarkable in the case of the combined stimulation by poly(I):poly(C) and TPA as compared to poly(I):poly(C) alone. This demonstrates that prolonged activation of cytosolic PKC for at least 120 min is essential for high levels of production of IFN gamma. Moreover, inhibition experiments using the PKC inhibitor H-7 and cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor H-8 suggest that the mechanism of signal transduction with regard to PKC is involved in stimulation of IFN gamma production in NNA cells by poly(I):poly(C) in the presence of TPA and that along with PKC, cAMP-dependent protein kinase is probably involved in induction of IFN gamma by stimulation with poly(I):poly(C) alone.

Abstract
The glgP gene, which codes for glycogen phosphorylase, was cloned from a genomic library of Escherichia coli. The nucleotide sequence of the glgP gene contained a single open reading frame encoding a protein consisting of 790 amino acid residues. The glgP gene product, a polypeptide of Mr 87,000, was confirmed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The deduced amino acid sequence showed that homology between glgP of E. coli and rabbit glgP, human glgP, potato glgP, and E. coli malP was 48.6, 48.6, 42.3, and 46.1%, respectively. Within this homologous region, the active site, glycogen storage site, and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate binding site are well conserved. The enzyme activity of glycogen phosphorylase increased after introduction on a multicopy of the glgP gene.

Abstract
The cDNA for the porcine type I regulatory subunit (RI) of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) was cloned into two different bacterial expression vectors: pKK223 and pUC18. Recombinant RI was produced by bacteria transformed with either construct, and purified by affinity chromatography. Both the native RI from the pKK223 construct and the RI with an amino terminal extension of eight amino acids from the pUC18 construct were found to be completely native with regard to inhibition of the catalytic subunit activity and cAMP binding.

Abstract
Intact S49 mouse lymphoma cells were used as a model system to study the effects of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and its analogs on the phosphorylation of regulatory (R) subunit of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of R subunit was negligible in mutants deficient in adenylate cyclase; low levels of cAMP analogs, however, stimulated R subunit phosphorylation in these cells to rates comparable to those in wild-type cells. In both wild-type and adenylate cyclase-deficient cells, R subunit phosphorylation was inhibited by a variety of N6-substituted derivatives of cAMP; C-8-substituted derivatives were generally poor inhibitors. Two derivatives that were inactive as kinase activators (N6-carbamoylmethyl-5'-AMP and 2'-deoxy-N6-monobutyryl-cAMP) were also ineffective as inhibitors of R subunit phosphorylation. Preferential inhibition by N6-modified cAMP analogs could not be ascribed simply to selectivity for the more aminoterminal (site I) of the two cAMP-binding sites in R subunit: Analog concentrations required for inhibition of R subunit phosphorylation were always higher than those required for activation of endogenous kinase; 8-piperidino-cAMP, a C-8-substituted derivative that is selective for cAMP-binding site I, was relatively ineffective as in inhibitor; and, although thresholds for activation of endogenous kinase by site I-selective analogs could be reduced markedly by coincubation with low levels of site II-selective analogs, no such synergism was observed for the inhibitory effect. The uncoupling of cyclic nucleotide effects on R subunit phosphorylation from activation of endogenous protein kinase suggests that, in intact cells, activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase requires more than one and fewer than four molecules of cyclic nucleotide.

Abstract
A variety of structural mutations that alter functional properties of regulatory subunit (R) of type I cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase are available in the cultured S49 mouse lymphoma cell system. Many of these mutations also alter the electrostatic charge of R by about 1 or 2 units. By a novel peptide mapping procedure, a number of these "charge-shift" structural mutations were localized to small regions within the R polypeptide. The procedure employed two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to separate large overlapping fragments generated from denatured, affinity-purified R by limited digestion with papain. Mutations were mapped to intervals between the endpoints of these fragments. The position of one mutation was confirmed by mapping a new site for cleavage by Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. Six different Ka mutations, which increase the concentrations of cyclic AMP required for kinase activation, mapped to three clusters in the carboxy-terminal half of R. Second-site mutations that cause phenotypic reversion of a single Ka mutant strain mapped to either side of the original mutation. By using charge-shift mutations for calibration, a map of charge density distribution was constructed for the R polypeptide. This map allowed tentative assignment of mutational lesions to portions of the R amino acid sequence implicated in cyclic AMP binding.

Abstract
The details of the process by which protein kinase catalyzes phosphoryl group transfers are beginning to be understood. Early work that explored the primary specificity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase action enabled the synthesis of small peptide substrates for the enzyme. Enzyme-peptide interactions seem simpler to understand than protein-protein interactions, so peptide substrates have been used in most protein kinase studies. In most investigations the kinetics for the phosphorylation of small peptides have been interpreted as being consistent with mechanisms which do not invoke phospho-enzyme intermediates (see, for example, Bolen et al.). Protein kinase has been shown to bind two metal ions in the presence of a nucleotide. Using magnetic resonance techniques the binding of these ions has been utilized to elucidate the conformation of nucleotide and peptide substrates or inhibitors when bound in the enzymic active site. Also, two new peptides with the form Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Y-Gly, where Y was either Pro or (N-methyl)Leu, were synthesized and found not to be substrates, within the limits of detection, for protein kinase. The striking lack of affinity that protein kinase has for such peptides which are unlikely to form a beta 3-6 turn has not been reported before. Our results may indicate that this type of turn is a requirement for protein kinase catalyzed phosphorylation or that these peptides lack the ability to form a particular hydrogen bond with the enzyme. Magnetic resonance techniques have indicated that the distance between the phosphorous in the gamma-phosphoryl group of MgATP and the hydroxyl oxygen of serine in the peptide Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly is 5.3 +/- 0.7 A. This, together with certain kinetic evidence, suggests that the mechanism by which protein kinase catalyzes phosphoryl group transfer has considerable dissociative character. Chemical modifications, including one using a peptide-based affinity label, have identified two residues at or near the active site, lysine-72 and cysteine 199. While neither of these groups has been shown to be catalytically essential, similar studies may help to identify groups that are directly involved in the catalytic process. Finally, a spectrophotometric assay for cAMP-dependent protein kinase has been described. Using this assay the preliminary results of an in-depth study of the pH dependence of protein kinase catalyzed phosphoryl group transfer have been obtained. This study shall aid in the identification of active site residues and should contribute to the elucidation of the enzyme's catalytic mechanism.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase is activated through the dissociation of active catalytic subunits from a regulatory dimer. The regulatory subunit consists of four cyclic-AMP-binding sites and two binding sites for catalytic subunits. Under well defined experimental conditions, protein kinase activation obeys apparent positive cooperativity and is linearly coupled to cyclic AMP binding. The simulation of theoretical models is used for testing working hypotheses. Here we demonstrate that the proposed stoichiometry of protein kinase activation may account for the experimentally observed properties of the system. The restrictive conditions under which theory and experimental observations are compatible are: (1) functional dependence between the two monomers of the regulatory dimer, (2) the only complexes which can accumulate at equilibrium in the considered conditions are R2C2, (cyclic AMP)2R2C and (cyclic AMP)4R2 (where R and C are the regulatory and catalytic subunits of protein kinase). An experimental procedure is proposed in order to check the validity of the theoretical predictions. The determination of the sequence of events leading to activation or inactivation of protein kinase is discussed.

Abstract
A novel peptide mapping approach has been used to map sites of charge modification to major structural domains of regulatory subunit (R) of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase from S49 mouse lymphoma cells. Proteolytic fragments of crude, radiolabeled R were purified by cAMP affinity chromatography and displayed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. [35S]methionine-labeled peptides containing sites of mutation or phosphorylation exhibited charge heterogeneity attributable to the modification. Phosphate-containing fragments were also labeled with [32P]orthophosphate to confirm their phosphorylation. Major fragments from [35S]methionine-labeled S49 cell R corresponded in size to carboxyterminal cAMP-binding fragments reported from proteolysis of purified type I Rs from various mammalian species; additional fragments were also visualized. End-specific markers in Rs from some mutant S49 sublines confirmed that cAMP-binding fragments extended to the carboxyterminus of R. Aminoterminal endpoints of fragments could be deduced, therefore, from peptide molecular weights. Clustering of proteolytic cleavage sites within the "hinge-region" separating aminoterminal and carboxyterminal domains of R permitted high resolution mapping in this region: the endogenous phosphate and a "phenotypically-silent" electrophoretic marker mutation fell within a 2.5-kdalton interval at its aminoterminal end. On the other hand, Ka mutations that increase the apparent constant for activation of kinase by cAMP mapped within the large cAMP-binding region of R. A map of charge density distribution within the hinge-region of R was constructed to facilitate structural comparisons between Rs from S49 cells and from other mammalian sources.

Abstract
The rate of release of bound c[3H]AMP from the two types (A and B) of cAMP binding sites on the regulatory subunit dimer (R2I) of rabbit muscle protein kinase I was studied in the presence of the catalytic (C) subunit of protein kinase. Rebinding of released c[3H]AMP was avoided by using highly diluted reactants or adding unlabeled cAMP or its analogues. No significant C-induced dissociation of R2I-(c[3H]AMP)4 occurred in the absence of Mg2+-ATP. Of the two options that one or two molecules of C are required to induce the release of c[3H]AMP bound to R2I, only the first one was compatible with the first-order dependence on [C] of the rate of release of c[3H]AMP observed over a wide range of C concentrations. In the absence of added unlabeled cyclic nucleotide, the rate of the C-induced release of c[3H]AMP was the same from site A and site B. The apparent second-order rate constant for the association of C to R2I(c[3H]AMP)4 was 6 X 10(6) M-1 s-1 (37 degrees C, 0.15 M KCl). Raising the concentration of unlabeled cAMP in the medium up to 1 microM decreased by up to 50% the rate of the C-induced release of bound c[3H]AMP from both sites. This is explained by assuming that the association of one molecule of C to R2I(c-[3H]AMP)4 leads to the release of c[3H]AMP first from one R subunit and subsequently, by a process that can be blocked by about 1 microM cAMP, from the other R subunit. A further rise of the cAMP concentration decreased the rate of release from site B only, so that the C-induced release of c[3H]AMP occurred almost exclusively from site A at very high concentrations of cAMP. This suggests that c[3H]AMP is released first from site A and that this vacant site by interacting with cAMP inhibits the release of c[3H]AMP from site B of the same R subunit. The role of site A in controlling the C-induced release was further supported by the finding that several cAMP analogues inhibited the release with potencies correlating with their affinities for site A. The C-induced release of c[3H]AMP from aged R2I was about 10 times slower than that from fresh R2I. No significant C-induced release of c[3H]AMP was observed from the monomeric fragment obtained by limited trypsin treatment of R2(1).

Abstract
The effects of numerous cAMP analogs present in the [3H]cAMP binding reaction on subsequent dissociation of [3H]cAMP from the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase I and II were analyzed. Certain analogs with modification at either C-8 or C-2 showed relative selectivity for one (site 1) of two intrachain cAMP binding sites of both isozymes. Modification at C-6 caused selectivity for the second site (site 2). The combination of a site-1-directed and site-2-directed analog inhibited [3H]cAMP binding much more than did either analog alone. In general, there was a correlation between the site 1 selectivity and the ability of the analog to stimulate the binding of [3H]cIMP, which selects site 2. The site-1-directed analogs stimulated the initial rate of [3H]cIMP binding. The stimulatory effect was enhanced in the presence of a polycationic protein such as histone and was inhibited by high ionic strength. The type I and II isozymes exhibited large differences in analog specificity for this effect. For type I, of the analogs tested the most efficacious for stimulating [3H]cIMP binding were those containing a nitrogen atom attached to C-8, 8-aminobutylamino-cAMP being the most effective. Type II responded best to analogs containing a sulfur atom attached to C-8, 8-SH-cAMP being the most effective of those tested. The stimulatory effect was accentuated in the presence of MgATP when using type I, but this nucleotide had no effect when using type II. It is proposed that in intact tissues cAMP binding to site 1 of either isozyme stimulates the binding to site 2.
