Abstract
Human multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4) has recently been determined to confer resistance to the antiviral purine analog 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine and methotrexate. However, neither its substrate selectivity nor physiological functions have been determined. Here we report the results of investigations of the in vitro transport properties of MRP4 using membrane vesicles prepared from insect cells infected with MRP4 baculovirus. It is shown that expression of MRP4 is specifically associated with the MgATP-dependent transport of cGMP, cAMP, and estradiol 17-beta-D-glucuronide (E(2)17 beta G). cGMP, cAMP, and E(2)17 beta G are transported with K(m) and V(max) values of 9.7 +/- 2.3 microm and 2.0 +/- 0.3 pmol/mg/min, 44.5 +/- 5.8 microm and 4.1 +/- 0.4 pmol/mg/min, and 30.3 +/- 6.2 microm and 102 +/- 16 pmol/mg/min, respectively. Consistent with its ability to transport cyclic nucleotides, it is demonstrated that the MRP4 drug resistance profile extends to 6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine, two anticancer purine analogs that are converted in the cell to nucleotide analogs. On the basis of its capacity to transport cyclic nucleotides and E(2)17 beta G, it is concluded that MRP4 may influence diverse cellular processes regulated by cAMP and cGMP and that its substrate range is distinct from that of any other characterized MRP family member.

Abstract
The discovery of free and membrane-bound ectokinases raises the question whether phosphorylation is another mechanism to modulate the action of distinct neuropeptides. Atrial-natriuretic-peptide (ANP) which is widespread found in the central nervous system (CNS) and involved in the modulation of stress reactions and emotional states like anxiety contains a recognition-motif for cAMP-dependent protein kinase A. We investigated the effect of phosphorylation of ANP and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), a related peptide without phosphorylation site, on their ability to activate their receptors in mouse pituitary AtT20 cells by measuring the formation of cyclic guanosinmonophosphate (cGMP). Phosphorylation with protein kinase A inactivated ANP. Coincubation experiments adding adenosintriphosphate (ATP), ATP-analogues or inhibitors of protein kinases to the medium pointed to the presence of an intrinsic protein kinase A like ectokinase-activity on AtT20 cells. The activity of CNP was unaffected in these experiments. Phosphorylation by ectokinases may be a physiological mechanism to regulate the biological activity of ANP in different tissues, such as pituitary and CNS.

Abstract
Basal embryonic cAMP and cGMP concentrations and cAMP and cGMP accumulation in embryos and in the incubation medium were measured in cattle blastocysts recovered at days 14 (n = 23), 15 (n = 29) and 16 (n = 23) of pregnancy. Cyclic AMP and cGMP concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay and the results expressed per microgram of protein, which was determined by the Pierce Micro BCA protein assay. Cyclic AMP and cGMP were present on each day. Basal embryonic cAMP was similar on days 14, 15, and 16, at 2.3., 2.5 and 2.6 fmol per microgram protein, respectively, while the concentration of cGMP was higher at day 14 (0.14 fmol per microgram protein than at either day 15 or 16 (0.06 and 0.05 fmol per microgram protein, respectively; P < 0.05), which were similar (P > 0.10). Basal embryonic cAMP concentrations were 15 to 60-fold higher than cGMP concentrations. Following a 2 h culture period in the presence or absence of the phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor, isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), the accumulated concentrations of cAMP and cGMP were measured in the embryos and in the incubation medium. IBMX did not affect the concentrations of either cAMP or cGMP in the embryos but increased the concentrations of cAMP (P < 0.005) and cGMP (P < 0.01) in the incubation medium. There was no effect of day on either embryonic or medium cAMP, but both embryonic and medium cGMP were higher at day 14 than at day 15 (P < 0.05) or 16 (P < 0.005). Differences between embryonic and medium cAMP and cGMP accumulation were examined. There was no effect of day or treatment. cGMP accumulation in the medium was higher than in the embryos (P < 0.005) whereas cAMP accumulation in the medium was lower than in the embryos (P < 0.05). Whether the efflux of cAMP and cGMP is active or passive is not clear but it may indicate a possible role in embryo-maternal signalling.

Abstract
While the importance of receptor-mediated intracellular cyclic AMP in blood pressure regulation is well documented, few studies have evaluated the physiologic relevance of cyclic AMP exported from cells. We report evidence of a relationship between blood pressure and the transport of intracellular cyclic AMP from lymphocytes. Twenty-eight hypertensive and 56 normotensive white and black volunteers (mean age 40 years) were studied. Both intra- and extracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP were determined in lymphocytes following incubation with 10(-5) M isoproterenol. Compared to normotensives, hypertensives (p = 0.001), particularly white hypertensives (p = 0.023) had higher levels of exported cyclic AMP. These values were independent of intracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP, which were similar across the groups. Exported cyclic AMP was independent of both sodium excretion and beta-adrenergic receptor sensitivity, the latter being lower in white hypertensives (p = 0.024). Across all subjects, exported cyclic AMP was correlated with MAP (r = .39, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that the active transport of cyclic AMP may be enhanced in hypertension and suggest a possible pathway which might explain existing data of increased cyclic AMP levels in hypertension.

Abstract
Purified plasma membranes from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae bind about 1.2 pmol of cAMP/mg of protein with high affinity (Kd = 6 nM). By using photoaffinity labeling with 8-N3-[32P]cAMP, we have identified in plasma membrane vesicles a cAMP-binding protein (Mr = 54,000) that is present also in bcy1 disruption mutants, lacking the cytoplasmic R subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). This argues that it is genetically unrelated to PKA. Neither high salt, nor alkaline carbonate, nor cAMP extract the protein from the membrane, suggesting that it is not peripherally bound. The observation that (glycosyl)phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipases (or nitrous acid) release the amphiphilic protein from the membrane, thereby converting it to a hydrophilic form, indicates anchorage by a glycolipidic membrane anchor. Treatment with N-glycanase reduces the Mr to 44,000-46,000 indicative of a modification by N-linked carbohydrate side chain(s). In addition to the action of a phospholipase, the efficient release from the membrane requires the removal of the carbohydrate side chain(s) or the presence of high salt or methyl alpha-mannopyranoside, suggesting complex interactions with the membrane involving not only the glycolipidic anchor but also the glycan side chain(s). Topological studies show that the protein is exposed to the periplasmic space, raising intriguing questions for the function of this protein.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP's regulatory role as an intracellular second messenger is well established. In brain and other tissues, specific proteins that bind cyclic AMP have been shown to be the regulatory subunits of cystolic and particulate cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases. This study of the autoradiographic localization of specific [3H]cyclic AMP binding revealed the heterogeneous distribution of particulate cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the mammalian central nervous system. Specific [3H]cyclic AMP binding to tissue sections was of high affinity (KD = 60 nM) and saturable (Bmax = 5 pmol/mg protein). Purine and pyrimidine nucleotide analogues demonstrated inhibition constants against [3H]cyclic AMP binding consistent with the specific labelling of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (e.g. 8'-bromo-cyclic AMP: IC50 = 130 nM; inosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate: IC50 = 1 microM; uridine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate: IC50 = 60 microM). Variations in the levels of [3H]cyclic AMP binding presumably reflect the presence of differing amounts of particulate cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in different neuronal populations. Highest densities were associated with neuronal cell layers such as the pyramidal cells of the piriform cortex and hippocampus, and granule cells of the dentate gyrus and cerebellum. High levels of binding were also found in other cortical and limbic structures, while moderate levels were found in hypothalamic, thalamic and midbrain areas. Excitotoxic lesions confirmed the localization of the enzyme in hippocampal pyramidal cells and cerebellar granule cells. Localizations reported in this study are largely consistent with results obtained using immunohistochemical methods to label cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases. Recently, [3H]forskolin, a potent and selective activator of adenylate cyclase, the enzyme responsible for the formation of cyclic AMP from adenosine 5'-triphosphate, has been used to localize the activated catalytic component of this enzyme in rat brain. Regions described as being intensely labelled with [3H]forskolin (e.g. basal ganglia, hilus of the dentate gyrus and molecular layer of the cerebellum) were found to be associated with relatively low [3H]cyclic AMP binding levels. These findings suggest a marked difference between the localization of the two related enzyme entities. However, the distribution of the enzymes is indirectly correlated as high levels of particulate cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase are present in the soma of neurons with high concentrations of adenylate cyclase in their terminals. Alternatively, it is possible that [3H]forskolin localizes only a subpopulation of adenylate cyclase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Confluent T51B rat liver epithelial cells promptly began accumulating cyclic AMP-binding sites on their surfaces when they were stimulated from quiescence by serum growth factors in medium containing 1.8 mM Ca2+, but they began losing the accumulated binding sites shortly before initiating DNA replication. When the medium contained only 0.02 mM Ca2+, the cells still accumulated surface cyclic AMP-binding sites, but they did not initiate DNA replication and tended to continue accumulating the binding sites. The cyclic AMP-binding sites were eliminated completely by treating intact cells for 5 minutes with 0.005% trypsin (which did not damage the cells), and cyclic AMP caused them to be released from intact, undamaged cells into the medium. The binding sites also comigrated electrophoretically with purified regulatory subunits of type I cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and to a lesser extent the regulatory subunit of type II cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Therefore, it is likely that a transient accumulation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases on the outer surface of the plasma membrane is part of the T51B rat liver cell's prereplicate program.

Abstract
Incubating T51B rat liver cells in Ca2+-deficient, serum-rich medium containing only 0.02 mM Ca2+ strikingly decreased the phosphorylation of several trypsin-removable cell surface proteins and arrested the cells in late G1 phase. Raising the Ca2+ concentration in the Ca2+-deficient medium from 0.02 mM to 0.5 mM or adding 80 nM TPA (12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate), a protein kinase C activator, stimulated the phosphorylation of a certain set of surface proteins within 5 min and the initiation of DNA replication within the next 2 hr. By contrast, incubation in the same Ca2+-deficient medium, which does not affect the proliferation of neoplastic T51B-261B cells, did not reduce the phosphorylation of cell surface proteins. These observations suggest that the stimulation of a Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (possibly protein kinase C) directly or indirectly phosphorylates certain cell surface proteins that might be part of the mechanism that triggers the Ca2+-dependent G1----S transition of normal cells. They also suggest that an alteration of this Ca2+-dependent protein kinase might be the reason for neoplastic cells being able to proliferate in the face of an external Ca2+ shortage that would stop the proliferation of normal cells.

Abstract
The involvement of cAMP and calcium in the rise in alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity observed when confluent, serum-free primary cultures of neonatal mouse calvarial cells are treated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been studied. Synthetic bovine PTH [bPTH-(1-34)] increased cellular cAMP at concentrations (10(-9) to 10(-7) M) previously found to elevate AP activity. Other substances that increase cAMP in these cells (forskolin, prostaglandin E2, 8-bromoadenosine cAMP and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) also increased enzyme activity. By comparison, increasing the concentration of calcium in the culture medium from 1.8 to 3.8 or 5.8 mM lowered the magnitude of the maximal AP response. In addition, treatment of cultures with the divalent cation ionophore A23187 caused a significant decrease in AP activity. These results suggest that: 1) cAMP mediates the rise in the specific activity of AP in cultured neonatal mouse calvarial cells treated with bPTH-(1-34) and 2) the concentration of calcium in the environment significantly influences the responsivity of bone cells to the hormone.
