The hormonal control of glycogen metabolism. Phosphorylation of protein phosphatase inhibitor-1 in vivo in response to adrenaline.

Inhibitor-1 has been shown to be phosphorylated in skeletal muscle in vivo. In normal fed animals the degree of phosphorylation was 31 +/- 7% and this value increases to 70 +/- 12% following an intravenous injection of adrenaline. The results imply that the phosphorylation of inhibitor-1 may be equally as important as the phosphorylation of phosphorylase kinase in elevating the levels of phosphorylase a. The role of inhibitor-1 in metabolism is discussed.

Distribution of isoenzymes of the glycogenolytic cascade in different types of muscle fibre.

Distinct isoenzyme patterns of the glycogenolytic enzymes exist in different fibre types. Fast twitch glycolytic and slow twitch oxidative fibres differ in the proportion of the two isoenzymes of cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase and in the type of phosphorylase kinase that is present. Slow twitch oxidative fibres and cardiac fibres resemble one another in these two respects, but differ in that the type I phosphorylase of cardiac muscle is absent in slow twitch oxidative fibres. In all examples, the functional differences between the isoenzymes seem to be related to the regulatory rather than the catalytic behavior of the molecules. In the case of cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase and phosphorylase kinase, it is a regulatory subunit that appears to be affected [16,23], while in the case of phosphorylase, the type I isoenzyme is known to have a five to eight-fold Ka for the allosteric activator 5' AMP [6]. However, the precise physiological significance of these differences remains to be elucidated.

The substrate specificity of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase of rabbit skeletal muscle.

The known amino acid sequences at the two sites on phosphorylase kinase that are phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase were extended. The sequences of 42 amino acids around the phosphorylation site on the alpha-subunit and of 14 amino acids around the phosphorylation site on the beta-subunit were shown to be: alpha-subunit Phe-Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser-Glx-Pro-Asx-Gly-Gly-His-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ala-Asp-Leu-Met-Ser-Pro-Ser-Phe-Leu-Ser-Pro-Gly-Thr-Ser-Val-Phe(Ser,Pro,Gly)His-Thr-Ser-Lys; beta-subunit, Ala-Arg-Thr-Lys-Arg-Ser-Gly-Ser(P)-VALIle-Tyr-Glu-Pro-Leu-Lys. The sites on histone H2B which are phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro were identified as serine-36 and serine-32. The amino acid sequence in this region is: Lys-Lys-Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32(P)-Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36(P)-Tyr-Ser-Val-Tyr-Val- [Iwai, K., Ishikawa, K. & Hayashi, H. (1970) Nature (London) 226, 1056-1058]. Serine-36 was phosphorylated at 50% of the rate at which the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase was phosphorylated, and it was phosphorylated 6-7-fold more rapidly than was serine-32. The amino acid sequences when compared with those at the phosphorylation sites of other physiological substrates suggest that the presence of two adjacent basic amino acids on the N-terminal side of the susceptible serine residue may be critical for specific substrate recognition in vivo.

The effects of Mg2+ on the Ca2+-binding properties and Ca2+-induced tyrosine-fluorescence changes of calmodulin isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle.

Calmodulin from phosphorylase kinase (the delta subunit) was obtained as a homogeneous protein in a spectroscopically pure form, and its interaction with Ca2+ and Mg2+ was studied. 1. Determination of the binding of Ca2+ to calmodulin in a buffer of low ionic strength (0.001 M) show that it contained six binding sites for this divalent cation. 2. Employment of a buffer of high ionic strength (0.18 M) allowed two Ca2+/Mg2+-binding sites (KdCa2+ = 4.0 microM), which showed Ca2+ - Mg2+ competition (KdMg2+ = 0.75 mM), to be distinguished from two Ca2+-specific binding sites (KdCa2+ = 40 microM). The remaining two Ca2+-binding sites are not observed under these conditions and are probably Mg2+-specific binding sites. Thus, the binding sites on calmodulin are remarkably similar to those of the homologous Ca2+-binding protein, troponin C [Potter and Gergely (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 4628, 4633]. 3. The conformational states of calmodulin are defined by Ca2+, Mg2+ and salt concentrations, which can be differentiated by their Ca2+ affinity and their relative tyrosine fluorescence intensity. In a buffer of high ionic strength, Mg2+ induces a conformation which enhances the apparent affinity for Ca2+. Addition of Ca2+ leads to an enhancement of the tyrosine fluorescence intensity, which remains enhanced even upon removal of Ca2+ by chelation with EGTA. Only additional chelation of Mg2+ with EDTA reduces the tyrosine fluorescence intensity. 4. Comparison of the Ca2+-binding parameters of phosphorylase kinase, which were previously determined under identical experimental conditions [Kilimann and Heilmeyer (1977) Eur. J. Biochem. 73, 191-197], with those reported here on calmodulin isolated from this enzyme, allows the conclusion that Ca2+ binding to the holoenzyme occurs by binding to the delta subunit exclusively. 5. Ca2+ binding and Ca2+ activation of phosphorylase kinase are compared and discussed in relation to the Ca2+ and Mg2+-induced conformation changes of calmodulin.
