Project description:Rabbit skeletal-muscle troponin T was phosphorylated by a standard preparation of phosphorylase kinase [Cohen (1973) Eur. J. Biochem. 34, 1--14] and by fractions obtained after chromatography of phosphorylase kinase on phosphocellulose. The original preparation of phosphorylase kinase phosphorylated at least two sites, one of which was serine-1. The second and probably the third sites were presumably located in the peptide flanked by amino-acid residues 147 and 161 of troponin T. Fractions of phosphorylase kinase was adsorbed on phosphocellulose phosphorylated only the second site. Tightly adsorbed fractions possessed high troponin T kinase and phosvitin kinase activities and phosphorylated only serine-1 of troponin T. The results suggest that standard preparations of phosphorylase kinase are contaminated by troponin T kinase, which can phosphorylate serine-1 of troponin T.

Project description:Myosin light chain kinase can be divided into three distinct structural domains, an amino-terminal "tail," of unknown function, a central catalytic core and a carboxy-terminal calmodulin-binding regulatory region. We have used a combination of deletion mutagenesis and monoclonal antibody epitope mapping to define these domains more closely. A 2.95-kilobase cDNA has been isolated that includes the entire coding sequence of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase (607 amino acids). This cDNA, expressed in COS cells encoded a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase with a specific activity similar to that of the enzyme purified from rabbit skeletal muscle. Serial carboxy-terminal deletions of the regulatory and catalytic domains were constructed and expressed in COS cells. The truncated kinases had no detectable myosin light chain kinase activity. Monoclonal antibodies which inhibit the activity of the enzyme competitively with respect to myosin light chain were found to bind between residues 235-319 and 165-173, amino-terminal of the previously defined catalytic core. Thus, residues that are either involved in substrate binding or in close proximity to a light chain binding site may be located more amino-terminal than the previously defined catalytic core.

Project description:1. Incubation of rabbit cardiac-muscle troponin I with phosphorylase b kinase leads to the incorporation of .07-1.2 mol of Pi/mol. 2. The major site of phosphorylation is a serine residue at position 72. 3. Lesser amounts of phosphate are incorporated into threonine-138, threonine-162 and serine 20. 4. Serine-20 is the only site that contains a significant amount of phosphate before incubation with phosphorylase b kinase. 5. Unlike the situation with serine-20, the extent of phosphorylation of serine-72 and threonine-138 in the perfused rabbit heart does not change when the heart is exposed to adrenaline (4 microM).

Project description:Understanding the regulatory interactions among the 16 subunits of the (alphabetagammadelta)(4) phosphorylase b kinase (PhK) complex can only be achieved through reconstructing the holoenzyme or its subcomplexes from the individual subunits. In this study, recombinant baculovirus carrying a vector containing a multigene cassette was created to coexpress in insect cells alpha, beta, gamma, and delta subunits corresponding to rabbit skeletal muscle PhK. The hexadecameric recombinant PhK (rPhK) and its corresponding alphagammadelta trimeric subcomplex were purified to homogeneity with proper subunit stoichiometries. The catalytic activity of rPhK at pH 8.2 and its ratio of activities at pH 6.8 versus pH 8.2 were comparable to those of PhK purified from rabbit muscle (RM PhK), as was the hysteresis (autoactivation) in the rate of product formation at pH 6.8. Both the rPhK and alphagammadelta exhibited only a very low Ca(2+)-independent activity and a Ca(2+)-dependent activity similar to that of the native holoenzyme with [Ca(2+)](0.5) of 0.4 microM for the RM PhK, 0.7 microM for the rPhK, and 1.5 microM for the alphagammadelta trimer. The RM PhK, rPhK, and alphagammadelta subcomplex were also all activated through self-phosphorylation. Using cross-linking and limited proteolysis, the alpha-gamma intersubunit contacts previously observed within the intact RM PhK complex were also observed within the recombinant alphagammadelta subcomplex. Our results indicate that both the rPhK and alphagammadelta subcomplex are promising models for future structure-function studies on the regulation of PhK activity through intersubunit contacts, because both retained the regulatory properties of the enzyme purified from skeletal muscle.

Project description:The paper reports a study of the kinetics of the reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP and Mg(2+) catalysed by rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase. The experimental results indicate that the reaction mechanism is equilibrium random-order in type, that the substrates and products are phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP, Mg(2+), pyruvate and MgATP, and that dead-end complexes, between pyruvate, ADP and Mg(2+), form randomly and exist in equilibrium with themselves and other substrate complexes. Values were determined for the Michaelis, dissociation and inhibition constants of the reaction and are compared with values ascertained by previous workers.

Project description:The study of phosphorylase kinase (PhK)-regulated glycogen metabolism has contributed to the fundamental understanding of protein phosphorylation; however, the molecular mechanism of PhK remains poorly understood. Here we present the high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structures of human muscle PhK. The 1.3-megadalton PhK α4β4γ4δ4 hexadecamer consists of a tetramer of tetramer, wherein four αβγδ modules are connected by the central β4 scaffold. The α- and β-subunits possess glucoamylase-like domains, but exhibit no detectable enzyme activities. The α-subunit serves as a bridge between the β-subunit and the γδ subcomplex, and facilitates the γ-subunit to adopt an autoinhibited state. Ca2+-free calmodulin (δ-subunit) binds to the γ-subunit in a compact conformation. Upon binding of Ca2+, a conformational change occurs, allowing for the de-inhibition of the γ-subunit through a spring-loaded mechanism. We also reveal an ADP-binding pocket in the β-subunit, which plays a role in allosterically enhancing PhK activity. These results provide molecular insights of this important kinase complex.

Project description:The ryanodine receptor, a Ca(2+)-releasing channel in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), plays an important role in the excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal muscle. In a previous study [Hirata, Nakahata and Ohizumi (2000) Mol. Pharmacol. 57, 1235-1242], we reported that mastoparan caused Ca(2+) release through ryanodine receptor from the heavy fraction of SR (HSR) isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle, and that it specifically bound to a 97 kDa protein which was distinct from Ca(2+)-pump or triadin. The present study was undertaken to identify and characterize the 97 kDa mastoparan-binding protein. The 97 kDa protein was purified from solubilized HSR by DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography and preparative SDS/PAGE. The partial amino acid sequence of the purified 97 kDa protein was matched with that of glycogen phosphorylase (GP). The proteolytic cleavage pattern of the 97 kDa protein was identical with that of GP. Furthermore, [(125)I-Tyr(3)]mastoparan specifically bound to GP. Interestingly, mastoparan-induced Ca(2+) release was inhibited by exogenous addition of GP-a, and mastoparan dissociated GP from HSR. These results indicate that the 97 kDa mastoparan-binding protein is GP, which negatively regulates Ca(2+) release from HSR. There may be a functional cross-talk between Ca(2+) release from HSR and glycogenolysis for energy supply mediated through GP in skeletal muscles.

Project description:1. The phosphorylation of troponin T from rabbit white sketetal muscle is catalysed by phosphorylase kinase, but not at a significant rate by bovine 3':5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. 2. The amino acid sequences adjacent to the three major phosphorylation sites of troponin T were determined. 3. The serine in the N-terminal peptide (Asx,SerP, Glx)Glu-Val-Glu, is that phosphorylated (SerP, phosphoserine) when the troponin complex is isolated. 4. The other two sites of phosphorylation are located in the sequence Ala-Leu-(Ser, SerP)-Met-Gly-Ala-Asn-Tyr(Ser,SerP)Tyr. 5. When troponin T is phosphorylated in the presence of troponin C, the extent of phosphorylation at each site is considerably decreased. 6. CNBr fragments of troponin T are also phosphorylated by phosphorylase kinase, but the rate of phosphorylation at each site in the CNBr fragments is considerably slower than in the native protein. 7. From these studies it is suggested that troponin C interacts with troponin T in the region containing the two closely situated phosphorylation sites.

Project description:In yeast, Tom22, the central component of the TOMM (translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane) receptor complex, is responsible for the recognition and translocation of synthesized mitochondrial precursor proteins, and its protein kinase CK2-dependent phosphorylation is mandatory for TOMM complex biogenesis and proper mitochondrial protein import. In mammals, the biological function of protein kinase CSNK2/CK2 remains vastly elusive and it is unknown whether CSNK2-dependent phosphorylation of TOMM protein subunits has a similar role as that in yeast. To address this issue, we used a skeletal muscle-specific Csnk2b/Ck2?-conditional knockout (cKO) mouse model. Phenotypically, these skeletal muscle Csnk2b cKO mice showed reduced muscle strength and abnormal metabolic activity of mainly oxidative muscle fibers, which point towards mitochondrial dysfunction. Enzymatically, active muscle lysates from skeletal muscle Csnk2b cKO mice phosphorylate murine TOMM22, the mammalian ortholog of yeast Tom22, to a lower extent than lysates prepared from controls. Mechanistically, CSNK2-mediated phosphorylation of TOMM22 changes its binding affinity for mitochondrial precursor proteins. However, in contrast to yeast, mitochondrial protein import seems not to be affected in vitro using mitochondria isolated from muscles of skeletal muscle Csnk2b cKO mice. PINK1, a mitochondrial health sensor that undergoes constitutive import under physiological conditions, accumulates within skeletal muscle Csnk2b cKO fibers and labels abnormal mitochondria for removal by mitophagy as demonstrated by the appearance of mitochondria-containing autophagosomes through electron microscopy. Mitophagy can be normalized by either introduction of a phosphomimetic TOMM22 mutant in cultured myotubes, or by in vivo electroporation of phosphomimetic Tomm22 into muscles of mice. Importantly, transfection of the phosphomimetic Tomm22 mutant in muscle cells with ablated Csnk2b restored their oxygen consumption rate comparable to wild-type levels. In sum, our data show that mammalian CSNK2-dependent phosphorylation of TOMM22 is a critical switch for mitophagy and reveal CSNK2-dependent physiological implications on metabolism, muscle integrity and behavior.

Project description:During skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (EC) coupling, membrane depolarizations activate the sarcolemmal voltage-gated L-type Ca(2+) channel (Ca(V)1.1). Ca(V)1.1 in turn triggers opening of the sarcoplasmic Ca(2+) release channel (RyR1) via interchannel protein-protein interaction to release Ca(2+) for myofibril contraction. Simultaneously to this EC coupling process, a small and slowly activating Ca(2+) inward current through Ca(V)1.1 is found in mammalian skeletal myotubes. The role of this Ca(2+) influx, which is not immediately required for EC coupling, is still enigmatic. Interestingly, whole-cell patch clamp experiments on freshly dissociated skeletal muscle myotubes from zebrafish larvae revealed the lack of such Ca(2+) currents. We identified two distinct isoforms of the pore-forming Ca(V)1.1alpha(1S) subunit in zebrafish that are differentially expressed in superficial slow and deep fast musculature. Both do not conduct Ca(2+) but merely act as voltage sensors to trigger opening of two likewise tissue-specific isoforms of RyR1. We further show that non-Ca(2+) conductivity of both Ca(V)1.1alpha(1S) isoforms is a common trait of all higher teleosts. This non-Ca(2+) conductivity of Ca(V)1.1 positions teleosts at the most-derived position of an evolutionary trajectory. Though EC coupling in early chordate muscles is activated by the influx of extracellular Ca(2+), it evolved toward Ca(V)1.1-RyR1 protein-protein interaction with a relatively small and slow influx of external Ca(2+) in tetrapods. Finally, the Ca(V)1.1 Ca(2+) influx was completely eliminated in higher teleost fishes.
