Regulation by forskolin of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and protein kinase C activity in LLC-PK1 cells.

ABSTRACT: Forskolin, a naturally occurring activator of adenylate cyclase, inhibits total and high-affinity cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in soluble and particulate fractions of cultured LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cells. The naturally occurring forskolin analogue 1,9-dideoxyforskolin, which does not stimulate adenylate cyclase activity, is a more potent inhibitor of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity than forskolin. To clarify the structural feature of the forskolin molecule responsible for inhibition of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity, the effects of two agents which share structural identity with portions of the forskolin ring were tested. The steroid 5-pregnenolone, but not the hexose alpha-D-galactose, inhibited cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in LLC-PK1 cells. Forskolin and 1,9-dideoxyforskolin both stimulate protein kinase C activity in LLC-PK1 cells. The effect of 1,9-dideoxyforskolin in stimulating LLC-PK1 protein kinase C activity can be attenuated by staurosporine. Both 5-pregnenolone and alpha-D-galactose also stimulate protein kinase C activity in LLC-PK1 cells. 5-Pregnenolone and the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate cause translocation of protein kinase C from a soluble to a particulate fraction, while both 1,9-dideoxyforskolin and alpha-D-galactose increase protein kinase C activity in both soluble and particulate fractions. Our results demonstrate that forskolin exerts diverse enzymic effects in cultured LLC-PK1 cells.

Dependence of urokinase-type-plasminogen-activator induction on cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activation in LLC-PK1 cells.

Project description:The activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) in vivo was studied in LLC-PK1 pig kidney cells and the mutant cell lines M18 and FIB5, which have total levels of cAMP-PK catalytic-subunit and regulatory-subunit activities comparable with those of parental cells. The extent of cAMP-PK activation (release of active catalytic subunit from the holoenzyme) was directly correlated with the cellular cyclic AMP concentration in LLC-PK1 cells. In LLC-PK1 cells, as well as in the mutants M18 and FIB5, the extent of the induction of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) by the cyclic AMP-mediated effectors calcitonin, vasopressin and forskolin was directly correlated with the levels of activated catalytic subunit. The 'receptorless' mutant M18, which is impaired in calcitonin- and vasopressin-receptor function, did not show any activation of cAMP-PK or uPA production in response to either hormone, whereas cAMP-PK and uPA responses to forskolin were about 35% higher than in parental cells. Analysis of the FIB5-cell line revealed a lesion affecting the regulation of adenylate cyclase activity, whereby basal and stimulated (both receptor- and non-receptor-mediated) adenylate cyclase levels were less than 36% of those in parental cells. The activation of cAMP-PK in response to cyclic AMP effectors was similarly reduced, and uPA induction was concomitantly lower than that in parental cells. The results demonstrate the dependence of uPA induction by cyclic AMP effectors on dissociation of the cAMP-PK holoenzyme, implying the importance of activated free cAMP-PK catalytic subunit in this process. Thus it is concluded that the mutations in the cellular cyclic AMP-generating apparatus of the M18 and FIB5 cell lines impair uPA induction by preventing cAMP-PK activation.

Modulation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase by vasopressin and calcitonin in cultured porcine renal LLC-PK1 cells.

Project description:We have previously demonstrated that a cultured porcine kidney cell, LLC-PK(1), maintains the characteristics of a polar renal epithelial cell in culture, and responds to salmon calcitonin and [arginine]vasopressin by increasing cyclic AMP content. To demonstrate the usefulness of this cell line as a model for the study of the biochemical events distal to cyclic AMP production, the activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was examined. Intact cells in monolayer demonstrated progressive increases in cyclic AMP content and activation of protein kinase in response to [arginine]vasopressin (2-200nm) and salmon calcitonin (0.03-30nm) with both hormones fully activating the enzyme at a cell cyclic AMP content of 35pmol/mg of protein. Of the total cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity, 80% was found in the 27000g supernatant fraction of sonicated cell material, and this soluble protein kinase could be fully activated by hormone. Conversely, the 27000g pellet contained a significant proportion of cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase and only 20% of total cell cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase; the latter showed little response to hormone. On the basis of DEAE-cellulose chromatography, type II protein kinase was the predominant isoenzyme in both soluble and particulate fractions of the LLC-PK(1) cells and the soluble fractions of rat and guinea-pig renal medulla. Thus, the LLC-PK(1) cell line can serve as a model for hormonal modulation of protein kinase and as a potential source for defining the endogenous substrates for these enzymes.

Bacterial cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase activity coordinates biofilm formation.

Project description:Biofilm-related infections are a major contributor to human disease, and the capacity for surface attachment and biofilm formation are key attributes for the pathogenesis of microbes. Serratia marcescens type I fimbriae-dependent biofilms are coordinated by the adenylate cyclase, CyaA, and the cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-cAMP receptor protein (CRP) complex. This study uses S. marcescens as a model system to test the role of cAMP-phosphodiesterase activity in controlling biofilm formation. Herein we describe the characterization of a putative S. marcescens cAMP-phosphodiesterase gene (SMA3506), designated as cpdS, and demonstrated to be a functional cAMP-phosphodiesterase both in vitro and in vivo. Deletion of cpdS resulted in defective biofilm formation and reduced type I fimbriae production, whereas multicopy expression of cpdS conferred a type I fimbriae-dependent hyper-biofilm. Together, these results support a model in which bacterial cAMP-phosphodiesterase activity modulates biofilm formation.

Negative regulation of histone deacetylase 8 activity by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A.

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues of histone and nonhistone proteins. Recent studies suggest that they are key regulators of many cellular events, including cell proliferation and cancer development. Human class I HDACs possess homology to the yeast RPD3 protein and include HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC8. While HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3 have been characterized extensively, almost nothing is known about HDAC8. Here we report that HDAC8 is phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) in vitro and in vivo. The PKA phosphoacceptor site of HDAC8 is Ser(39), a nonconserved residue among class I HDACs. Mutation of Ser(39) to Ala enhances the deacetylase activity of HDAC8. In contrast, mutation of Ser(39) to Glu or induction of HDAC8 phosphorylation by forskolin, a potent activator of adenyl cyclase, decreases HDAC8's enzymatic activity. Remarkably, inhibition of HDAC8 activity by hyperphosphorylation leads to hyperacetylation of histones H3 and H4, suggesting that PKA-mediated phosphorylation of HDAC8 plays a central role in the overall acetylation status of histones.

Pde1 phosphodiesterase modulates cyclic AMP levels through a protein kinase A-mediated negative feedback loop in Cryptococcus neoformans.

Project description:The virulence of the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is regulated by a cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) signaling cascade that promotes mating and the production of melanin and capsule. In this study, genes encoding homologs of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae low- and high-affinity phosphodiesterases, PDE1 and PDE2, respectively, were deleted in serotype A strains of C. neoformans. The resulting mutants exhibited moderately elevated levels of melanin and capsule production relative to the wild type. Epistasis experiments indicate that Pde1 functions downstream of the Galpha subunit Gpa1, which initiates cAMP-dependent signaling in response to an extracellular signal. Previous work has shown that the PKA catalytic subunit Pka1 governs cAMP levels via a negative feedback loop. Here we show that a pde1Delta pka1Delta mutant strain exhibits cAMP levels that are dramatically increased ( approximately 15-fold) relative to those in a pka1Delta single mutant strain and that a site-directed mutation in a consensus PKA phosphorylation site reduces Pde1 function. These data provide evidence that fluctuations in cAMP levels are modulated by both Pka1-dependent regulation of Pde1 and another target that comprise a robust negative feedback loop to tightly constrain intracellular cAMP levels.

Activation and phosphorylation of the 'dense-vesicle' high-affinity cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Project description:Incubation of a hepatocyte particulate fraction with ATP and the isolated catalytic unit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) selectively activated the high-affinity 'dense-vesicle' cycle AMP phosphodiesterase. Such activation only occurred if the membranes had been pre-treated with Mg2+. Mg2+ pre-treatment appeared to function by stimulating endogenous phosphatases and did not affect phosphodiesterase activity. Using the antiserum DV4, which specifically immunoprecipitated the 51 and 57 kDa components of the 'dense-vesicle' phosphodiesterase from a detergent-solubilized membrane extract, we isolated a 32P-labelled phosphoprotein from 32P-labelled hepatocytes. MgCl2 treatment of such labelled membranes removed 32P from the immunoprecipitated protein. Incubation of the Mg2+-pre-treated membranes with [32P]ATP and A-kinase led to the time-dependent incorporation of label into the 'dense-vesicle' phosphodiesterase, as detected by specific immunoprecipitation with the antiserum DV4. The time-dependences of phosphodiesterase activation and incorporation of label were similar. It is suggested (i) that phosphorylation of the 'dense-vesicle' phosphodiesterase by A-kinase leads to its activation, and that such a process accounts for the ability of glucagon and other hormones, which increase intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations, to activate this enzyme, and (ii) that an as yet unidentified kinase can phosphorylate this enzyme without causing any significant change in enzyme activity but which prevents activation and phosphorylation of the phosphodiesterase by A-kinase.

Total biosynthesis of the cyclic AMP booster forskolin from <i>Coleus forskohlii</i>.

Project description:Forskolin is a unique structurally complex labdane-type diterpenoid used in the treatment of glaucoma and heart failure based on its activity as a cyclic AMP booster. Commercial production of forskolin relies exclusively on extraction from its only known natural source, the plant Coleus forskohlii, in which forskolin accumulates in the root cork. Here, we report the discovery of five cytochrome P450s and two acetyltransferases which catalyze a cascade of reactions converting the forskolin precursor 13R-manoyl oxide into forskolin and a diverse array of additional labdane-type diterpenoids. A minimal set of three P450s in combination with a single acetyl transferase was identified that catalyzes the conversion of 13R-manoyl oxide into forskolin as demonstrated by transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana. The entire pathway for forskolin production from glucose encompassing expression of nine genes was stably integrated into Saccharomyces cerevisiae and afforded forskolin titers of 40 mg/L.

Differential, phosphorylation dependent trafficking of AQP2 in LLC-PK1 cells.

Project description:The kidney maintains water homeostasis by modulating aquaporin 2 (AQP2) on the plasma membrane of collecting duct principal cells in response to vasopressin (VP). VP mediated phosphorylation of AQP2 at serine 256 is critical for this effect. However, the role of phosphorylation of other serine residues in the AQP2 C-terminus is less well understood. Here, we examined the effect of phosphorylation of S256, S261 and S269 on AQP2 trafficking and association with recycling pathway markers. We used LLC-PK1 cells expressing AQP2(S-D) or (S-A) phospho mutants and a 20°C cold block, which allows endocytosis to continue, but prevents protein exit from the trans Golgi network (TGN), inducing formation of a perinuclear AQP2 patch. AQP2-S256D persists on the plasma membrane during cold block, while wild type AQP2, AQP2-S256A, S261A, S269A and S269D are internalized and accumulate in the patch. Development of this patch, a measure of AQP2 internalization, was most rapid with AQP2-S256A, and slowest with S261A and S269D. AQP2-S269D exhibited a biphasic internalization profile with a significant amount not internalized until 150 minutes of cold block. After rewarming to 37°C, wt AQP2, AQP2-S261A and AQP2-S269D rapidly redistributed throughout the cytoplasm within 20 minutes, whereas AQP2-S256A dissipated more slowly. Colocalization of AQP2 mutants with several key vesicular markers including clathrin, HSP70/HSC70, EEA, GM130 and Rab11 revealed no major differences. Overall, our data provide evidence supporting the role of S256 and S269 in the maintenance of AQP2 at the cell surface and reveal the dynamics of internalization and recycling of differentially phosphorylated AQP2 in cell culture.

Role of Dlg5/lp-dlg, a membrane-associated guanylate kinase family protein, in epithelial-mesenchymal transition in LLc-PK1 renal epithelial cells.

Project description:Discs large homolog 5 (Dlg5) is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase adaptor family of proteins, some of which are involved in the regulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Dlg5 has been described as a susceptibility gene for Crohn's disease; however, the physiological function of Dlg5 is unknown. We show here that transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?)-induced EMT suppresses Dlg5 expression in LLc-PK1 cells. Depletion of Dlg5 expression by knockdown promoted the expression of the mesenchymal marker proteins, fibronectin and ?-smooth muscle actin, and suppressed the expression of E-cadherin. In addition, activation of JNK and p38, which are stimulated by TGF-?, was enhanced by Dlg5 depletion. Furthermore, inhibition of the TGF-? receptor suppressed the effects of Dlg5 depletion. These observations suggest that Dlg5 is involved in the regulation of TGF-?receptor-dependent signals and EMT.

Replicative capacity of four porcine enteric coronaviruses in LLC-PK1 cells.

Project description:Enteric coronaviruses (CoVs) are major pathogens that cause diarrhea in piglets. To date, four porcine enteric CoVs have been identified: transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and HKU2-like porcine enteric alphacoronavirus (PEAV). In this study, we investigated the replicative capacity of these four enteric CoVs in LLC-PK1 cells, a porcine kidney cell line. The results showed that LLC-PK1 cells are susceptible to all four enteric CoVs, particularly to TGEV and PDCoV infections, indicating that LLC-PK1 cells can be applied to porcine enteric CoV research in vitro, particularly for coinfection studies.
