Stimulation by ATP-Mg2+ and inactivation by cyclic-AMP-dependent phosphorylation of a cytosolic monkey brain aminopeptidase.

ABSTRACT: The activity of a purified cytosolic aminopeptidase (Mr 79,000) from monkey brain was stimulated about 4-fold by ATP-Mg2+. The stimulation was seen with either synthetic aminopeptidase substrates or natural peptides such as enkephalins. Both ATP and Mg2+ were required for stimulation, and ADP did not inhibit the stimulation. Non-hydrolysable analogues of ATP, deoxy-ATP and other nucleoside triphosphates stimulated to a lesser extent compared with ATP, whereas nucleoside mono- or di-phosphates were ineffective. The enzyme did not exhibit any ATPase activity. An ATPase inhibitor, orthovanadate, had no inhibitory effect on the ATP-Mg2+ stimulation. The aminopeptidase was not autophosphorylated by [gamma-32P]ATP and Mg2+, but in the presence of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase underwent phosphorylation on serine residue(s). Phosphorylation resulted in inactivation of the aminopeptidase activity, and also resulted in a decreased stimulation of the enzyme by ATP-Mg2+.

Cyclic AMP produced inside mitochondria regulates oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:Mitochondria constantly respond to changes in substrate availability and energy utilization to maintain cellular ATP supplies, and at the same time control reactive oxygen radical (ROS) production. Reversible phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins has been proposed to play a fundamental role in metabolic homeostasis, but very little is known about the signaling pathways involved. We show here that protein kinase A (PKA) regulates ATP production by phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins, including subunits of cytochrome c oxidase. The cyclic AMP (cAMP), which activates mitochondrial PKA, does not originate from cytoplasmic sources but is generated within mitochondria by the carbon dioxide/bicarbonate-regulated soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in response to metabolically generated carbon dioxide. We demonstrate for the first time the existence of a CO(2)-HCO(3)(-)-sAC-cAMP-PKA (mito-sAC) signaling cascade wholly contained within mitochondria, which serves as a metabolic sensor modulating ATP generation and ROS production in response to nutrient availability.

Channel phosphorylation and modulation of L-type Ca2+ currents by cytosolic Mg2+ concentration.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that inhibition of L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)) by cytosolic free Mg(2+) concentration ([Mg(2+)](i)) is profoundly affected by activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase pathways. To investigate the mechanism underlying this counterregulation of I(Ca), rat cardiac myocytes and tsA201 cells expressing L-type Ca(2+) channels were whole cell voltage-clamped with patch pipettes in which [Mg(2+)] ([Mg(2+)](p)) was buffered by citrate and ATP. In tsA201 cells expressing wild-type Ca(2+) channels (alpha(1C)/beta(2A)/alpha(2)delta), increasing [Mg(2+)](p) from 0.2 mM to 1.8 mM decreased peak I(Ca) by 76 +/- 4.5% (n = 7). Mg(2+)-dependent modulation of I(Ca) was also observed in cells loaded with ATP-gamma-S. With 0.2 mM [Mg(2+)](p), manipulating phosphorylation conditions by pipette application of protein kinase A (PKA) or phosphatase 2A (PP(2A)) produced large changes in I(Ca) amplitude; however, with 1.8 mM [Mg(2+)](p), these same manipulations had no significant effect on I(Ca). With mutant channels lacking principal PKA phosphorylation sites (alpha(1C/S1928A)/beta(2A/S478A/S479A)/alpha(2)delta), increasing [Mg(2+)](p) had only small effects on I(Ca). However, when channel open probability was increased by alpha(1C)-subunit truncation (alpha(1CDelta1905)/beta(2A/S478A/S479A)/alpha(2)delta), increasing [Mg(2+)](p) greatly reduced peak I(Ca). Correspondingly, in myocytes voltage-clamped with pipette PP(2A) to minimize channel phosphorylation, increasing [Mg(2+)](p) produced a much larger reduction in I(Ca) when channel opening was promoted with BAY K8644. These data suggest that, around its physiological concentration range, cytosolic Mg(2+) modulates the extent to which channel phosphorylation regulates I(Ca). This modulation does not necessarily involve changes in channel phosphorylation per se, but more generally appears to depend on the kinetics of gating induced by channel phosphorylation.

Regulation of cyclic AMP by extracellular ATP in cultured brain capillary endothelial cells.

Project description:1 In primary unpassaged rat brain capillary endothelial cell cultures (RBECs), using reverse-transcriptase PCR with primers specific for P2Y receptor subtypes, we detected mRNA for P2Y2, P2Y4 and P2Y6, but not P2Y1 receptors. 2 None of the various nucleotides tested reduced forskolin elevated cyclic AMP levels in RBECs. ATP and ATPgammaS, as well as adenosine, enhanced cyclic AMP accumulation in the presence of forskolin. 3 Comparison of the concentration response curves to ATPgammaS with those for ATP and adenosine, at different incubation times, indicated that the response to purine nucleotides was not wholly dependent on conversion to adenosine. Adenosine deaminase abolished the response to adenosine but only reduced the response to ATP by about 50%. These results suggest the participation of a receptor responsive to nucleotides. 4 Isobutylmethylxanthine and 8-sulphophenyltheophylline prevented the cyclic AMP response, while neither 8-cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine nor SCH58261 were effective antagonists. 2-chloradenosine gave a robust response, but neither 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine nor CGS 21680 were agonists. 5 These results show that adenosine and ATP can elevate the cyclic AMP levels of brain endothelial cells by acting on receptors which have a pharmacology apparently distinct from known P2Y and adenosine receptors.

Cyclic GMP-AMP is an endogenous second messenger in innate immune signaling by cytosolic DNA.

Project description:Cytosolic DNA induces type I interferons and other cytokines that are important for antimicrobial defense but can also result in autoimmunity. This DNA signaling pathway requires the adaptor protein STING and the transcription factor IRF3, but the mechanism of DNA sensing is unclear. We found that mammalian cytosolic extracts synthesized cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP-AMP, or cGAMP) in vitro from adenosine triphosphate and guanosine triphosphate in the presence of DNA but not RNA. DNA transfection or DNA virus infection of mammalian cells also triggered cGAMP production. cGAMP bound to STING, leading to the activation of IRF3 and induction of interferon-?. Thus, cGAMP functions as an endogenous second messenger in metazoans and triggers interferon production in response to cytosolic DNA.

Cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase mediates penile erection.

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) generated by neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) initiates penile erection, but has not been thought to participate in the sustained erection required for normal sexual performance. We now show that cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of nNOS mediates erectile physiology, including sustained erection. nNOS is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) at serine(S)1412. Electrical stimulation of the penile innervation increases S1412 phosphorylation that is blocked by PKA inhibitors but not by PI3-kinase/Akt inhibitors. Stimulation of cAMP formation by forskolin also activates nNOS phosphorylation. Sustained penile erection elicited by either intracavernous forskolin injection, or augmented by forskolin during cavernous nerve electrical stimulation, is prevented by the NOS inhibitor L-NAME or in nNOS-deleted mice. Thus, nNOS mediates both initiation and maintenance of penile erection, implying unique approaches for treating erectile dysfunction.

AMPK antagonizes hepatic glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP signalling via phosphorylation-induced activation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 4B.

Project description:Biguanides such as metformin have previously been shown to antagonize hepatic glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) signalling independently of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) via direct inhibition of adenylate cyclase by AMP. Here we show that incubation of hepatocytes with the small-molecule AMPK activator 991 decreases glucagon-stimulated cAMP accumulation, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity and downstream PKA target phosphorylation. Moreover, incubation of hepatocytes with 991 increases the Vmax of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) without affecting intracellular adenine nucleotide concentrations. The effects of 991 to decrease glucagon-stimulated cAMP concentrations and activate PDE4B are lost in hepatocytes deleted for both catalytic subunits of AMPK. PDE4B is phosphorylated by AMPK at three sites, and by site-directed mutagenesis, Ser304 phosphorylation is important for activation. In conclusion, we provide a new mechanism by which AMPK antagonizes hepatic glucagon signalling via phosphorylation-induced PDE4B activation.

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase is a cytosolic DNA sensor that activates the type I interferon pathway.

Project description:The presence of DNA in the cytoplasm of mammalian cells is a danger signal that triggers host immune responses such as the production of type I interferons. Cytosolic DNA induces interferons through the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP-AMP, or cGAMP), which binds to and activates the adaptor protein STING. Through biochemical fractionation and quantitative mass spectrometry, we identified a cGAMP synthase (cGAS), which belongs to the nucleotidyltransferase family. Overexpression of cGAS activated the transcription factor IRF3 and induced interferon-? in a STING-dependent manner. Knockdown of cGAS inhibited IRF3 activation and interferon-? induction by DNA transfection or DNA virus infection. cGAS bound to DNA in the cytoplasm and catalyzed cGAMP synthesis. These results indicate that cGAS is a cytosolic DNA sensor that induces interferons by producing the second messenger cGAMP.

Phosphorylation of RGS13 by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase inhibits RGS13 degradation.

Project description:Regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins are scaffolds that control diverse signaling pathways by modulating signalosome formation and by accelerating the GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G proteins. Although expression of many RGS proteins is relatively low in quiescent cells, transcriptional and post-translational responses to environmental cues regulate both their abundance and activity. We found previously that RGS13, one of the smallest RGS proteins in the family, inhibited cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-induced gene expression through interactions with the transcription factor cAMP-response element-binding (CREB) protein. Here, we show that PKA activation also leads to increased steady-state RGS13 expression through RGS13 phosphorylation, which inhibits RGS13 protein degradation. RGS13 turnover was significantly reduced in cells stimulated with cAMP, which was reversed by expression of the PKA-specific inhibitory peptide PKI. RGS13 phosphorylation was diminished by mutation of an N-terminal Thr residue (T41) identified as a phosphorylation site by mass spectrometry. Mutation of Thr41 in RGS13 to Ala (T41A) reduced steady-state RGS13 levels and its ability to inhibit M2 muscarinic receptor-mediated Erk phosphorylation compared with wild-type RGS13 by attenuating the protective effect of cAMP on RGS13 degradation. RGS13 underwent ubiquitylation, indicating that it is a likely target of the proteasome. These studies are the first to demonstrate post-translational mechanisms controlling the expression of RGS13. Stabilization of RGS13 through PKA-mediated phosphorylation could enhance RGS13 functions, providing negative feedback regulation that promotes cellular desensitization.

Cyclic AMP Inhibits the Activity and Promotes the Acetylation of Acetyl-CoA Synthetase through Competitive Binding to the ATP/AMP Pocket.

Project description:The high-affinity biosynthetic pathway for converting acetate to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is catalyzed by the central metabolic enzyme acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase (Acs), which is finely regulated both at the transcriptional level via cyclic AMP (cAMP)-driven trans-activation and at the post-translational level via acetylation inhibition. In this study, we discovered that cAMP directly binds to Salmonella enterica Acs (SeAcs) and inhibits its activity in a substrate-competitive manner. In addition, cAMP binding increases SeAcs acetylation by simultaneously promoting Pat-dependent acetylation and inhibiting CobB-dependent deacetylation, resulting in enhanced SeAcs inhibition. A crystal structure study and site-directed mutagenesis analyses confirmed that cAMP binds to the ATP/AMP pocket of SeAcs, and restrains SeAcs in an open conformation. The cAMP contact residues are well conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, suggesting a general regulatory mechanism of cAMP on Acs.

Inactivation of the mitochondrial carrier SLC25A25 (ATP-Mg2+/Pi transporter) reduces physical endurance and metabolic efficiency in mice.

Project description:An ATP-Mg(2+/)P(i) inner mitochondrial membrane solute transporter (SLC25A25), which is induced during adaptation to cold stress in the skeletal muscle of mice with defective UCP1/brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, has been evaluated for its role in metabolic efficiency. SLC25A25 is thought to control ATP homeostasis by functioning as a Ca(2+)-regulated shuttle of ATP-Mg(2+) and P(i) across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mice with an inactivated Slc25a25 gene have reduced metabolic efficiency as evidenced by enhanced resistance to diet-induced obesity and impaired exercise performance on a treadmill. Mouse embryo fibroblasts from Slc25a25(-/-) mice have reduced Ca(2+) flux across the endoplasmic reticulum, basal mitochondrial respiration, and ATP content. Although Slc25a25(-/-) mice are metabolically inefficient, the source of the inefficiency is not from a primary function in thermogenesis, because Slc25a25(-/-) mice maintain body temperature upon acute exposure to the cold (4 °C). Rather, the role of SLC25A25 in metabolic efficiency is most likely linked to muscle function as evidenced from the physical endurance test of mutant mice on a treadmill. Consequently, in the absence of SLC25A25 the efficiency of ATP production required for skeletal muscle function is diminished with secondary effects on adiposity. However, in the absence of UCP1-based thermogenesis, induction of Slc25a25 in mice with an intact gene may contribute to an alternative thermogenic pathway for the maintenance of body temperature during cold stress.
