Endogenous cyclic AMP-stimulated phosphorylation of a Wolfgram protein component in rabbit central-nervous-system myelin.

ABSTRACT: Cyclic AMP-stimulated phosphorylation of membrane proteins in central-nervous-system myelin was investigated, with rabbit brain myelin. Subfractionation of a myelin membrane preparation by sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation produced a rapidly sedimenting population of membrane vesicles containing 5'-nucleotidase and acetylcholinesterase, a light membrane fraction containing myelin basic protein and 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase, and an intermediate membrane fraction containing the highest specific activity of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase and a small proportion of myelin basic protein. Cyclic AMP stimulation of protein phosphorylation was confined to a protein of Mr 49 700, which co-electrophoresed with the upper component of the Wolfgram protein doublet. Cyclic AMP did not affect the phosphorylation of myelin basic protein. Cyclic AMP-stimulated phosphorylation of this protein followed 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase activity on subcellular fractionation and was correspondingly high in the intermediate or 'myelin-like' fraction on sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation.

Calcium- and cyclic AMP-regulated protein kinases of bovine central-nervous-system myelin.

Project description:Bovine central-nervous-system myelin was found to contain both Ca2+-activated and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases. Each enzyme possesses unique solubility and substrate-specificity characteristics. The Ca2+-activated enzyme, like its substrate (basic protein), is probably deeply embedded in the neural membrane, whereas the cyclic AMP-dependent kinase appears to be much less tightly associated with myelin. Treatment of insoluble myelin fraction housing the Ca2+-activated kinase with phospholipase A2 and phospholipases A2 + C causes a decrease in its ability to become activated by Ca2+. This can be countered by phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Whereas the activity of the Ca2+-activated membrane-associated kinase is inhibited by chlorpromazine, dibucaine, melittin and Triton X-100, it is activated by certain phorbol diesters (4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibenzoate and 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-diacetate), which appear to exert this effect by lowering the concentration of Ca2+ normally required for the activation of this enzyme. Together these results suggest that the activation of the membrane-associated kinase by Ca2+ most probably requires certain lipids, perhaps those already present in the membrane.

Photoaffinity labelling of central-nervous-system myelin. Evidence for an endogenous type I cyclic AMP-dependent kinase phosphorylating the larger subunit of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase.

Project description:Endogenous cyclic AMP-stimulated phosphorylation of a 49700-Mr Wolfgram protein component in rabbit central nervous system was investigated by using photoaffinity labelling and 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase activity staining after electroblotting on to nitrocellulose paper. Photoaffinity labelling with 8'-azidoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate showed a cyclic AMP-binding protein that appeared to be intrinsic to the myelin membrane and appeared to represent the R-subunit of a type I cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. This photoaffinity-labelled protein was of larger apparent Mr than the protein showing cyclic AMP-stimulated phosphorylation. Blotting of one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoretograms followed by staining for 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase activity showed two activity bands corresponding to the two components of the Wolfgram protein doublet. Cyclic AMP-stimulated protein phosphorylation corresponded to the upper component of this doublet. Electroblotting of two-dimensional non-equilibrium pH-gradient electrophoretograms also showed co-migration of cyclic AMP-stimulated protein phosphorylation with enzyme activity. It is proposed that central-nervous-system myelin contains an endogenous type I cyclic-AMP dependent protein kinase that phosphorylates the larger subunit of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase.

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.

The transcriptome of central nervous system myelin

Project description:Rapid nerve conduction in the CNS is facilitated by the insulation of axons with myelin, a specialized oligodendroglial compartment distant from the cell body. Myelin is turned over and adapted throughout life; however, the molecular and cellular basis of myelin dynamics is not well understood. Hypothesizing that only a fraction of all myelin-related mRNAs has been identified so far, we subjected myelin biochemically purified from mouse brains at various ages to RNA sequencing. We find a surprisingly large pool of transcripts abundant and/or enriched in myelin. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis showed that the myelin transcriptome is closely related to the myelin proteome but clearly distinct from the transcriptomes of oligodendrocytes and brain tissues, suggesting that the incorporation of mRNAs into the myelin compartment is highly selective. The mRNA-pool in myelin displays maturation-dependent dynamic changes of composition, abundance, and functional associations; however ageing-dependent changes after 6 months of age were minor. We suggest that this transcript pool provides a basis for the local modulation of myelin turnover and adaptation, i.e. in the individual internode. A light-weight membrane fraction enriched for myelin was purified from mouse brains as described previously (Jahn et al., Neuromethods, 2013). For RNA-Seq, RNA was isolated from myelin of mice from indicated ages.

The transcriptome of mouse central nervous system myelin.

Project description:Rapid nerve conduction in the CNS is facilitated by insulation of axons with myelin, a specialized oligodendroglial compartment distant from the cell body. Myelin is turned over and adapted throughout life; however, the molecular and cellular basis of myelin dynamics remains elusive. Here we performed a comprehensive transcriptome analysis (RNA-seq) of myelin biochemically purified from mouse brains at various ages and find a surprisingly large pool of transcripts enriched in myelin. Further computational analysis showed that the myelin transcriptome is closely related to the myelin proteome but clearly distinct from the transcriptomes of oligodendrocytes and brain tissues, suggesting a highly selective incorporation of mRNAs into the myelin compartment. The mRNA-pool in myelin displays maturation-dependent dynamic changes of composition, abundance, and functional associations; however ageing-dependent changes after 6 months were minor. We suggest that this transcript pool enables myelin turnover and the local adaptation of individual pre-existing myelin sheaths.

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.

Calcium ion-stimulated phosphorylation of myelin proteins.

Project description:Myelin isolated from the central and peripheral nervous system contains a Mg2+-dependent protein kinase that catalyses phosphorylation of myelin-specific proteins. This phosphorylation is markedly stimulated by Ca2+ but not by cyclic AMP. Evidence was obtained that suggested an involvement of calmodulin-like protein in the stimulatory effects of Ca2+ on myelin phosphorylation.

Regulatory T cells promote myelin regeneration in the central nervous system.

Project description:Regeneration of CNS myelin involves differentiation of oligodendrocytes from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. In multiple sclerosis, remyelination can fail despite abundant oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, suggesting impairment of oligodendrocyte differentiation. T cells infiltrate the CNS in multiple sclerosis, yet little is known about T cell functions in remyelination. We report that regulatory T cells (Treg) promote oligodendrocyte differentiation and (re)myelination. Treg-deficient mice exhibited substantially impaired remyelination and oligodendrocyte differentiation, which was rescued by adoptive transfer of Treg. In brain slice cultures, Treg accelerated developmental myelination and remyelination, even in the absence of overt inflammation. Treg directly promoted oligodendrocyte progenitor cell differentiation and myelination in vitro. We identified CCN3 as a Treg-derived mediator of oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination in vitro. These findings reveal a new regenerative function of Treg in the CNS, distinct from immunomodulation. Although the cells were originally named 'Treg' to reflect immunoregulatory roles, this also captures emerging, regenerative Treg functions.
