Effect of cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation on the reactivity of sulphydryl groups in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.

ABSTRACT: Phosphorylation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase results in enhanced Ca2+ transport even though Ca2+-dependent ATPase is not a substrate for the kinase. The mechanisms involved in this enhancement are not clear. In the present study, we used the reactivity of sulphydryl groups in the Ca2+-dependent ATPase as an index of conformational change during the Ca2+ transport cycle and examined the effects of protein kinase-catalysed phosphorylation. N-Ethylmaleimide alkylation allowed the distinction of several thiol groups with variable functional significance for the ATPase. A sulphydryl group involved in the formation of the phosphorylated intermediate (EP) of the Ca2+-dependent ATPase was protected by adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate. Reactivity of an additional thiol group was related to EP dephosphorylation and was dependent on Ca2+. The Ca2+ concentration for change in the reactivity of this sulphydryl group and ATPase inhibition occurred within the range for Ca2+ binding to the high-affinity sites. Phosphorylation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase resulted in decreased N-ethyl[1-14C]-maleimide binding and the ATPase inhibition; the thiol groups involved in EP dephosphorylation were selectively protected. The results indicate that protein kinase-catalysed phosphorylation results in conformational changes of the ATPase, which renders certain thiol groups inaccessible to N-ethylmaleimide. This conformational change may facilitate functional movements involved in Ca2+ transport.

Epac2 mediates cardiac ?1-adrenergic-dependent sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ leak and arrhythmia.

Project description:?-Adrenergic receptor (?-AR) activation can provoke cardiac arrhythmias mediated by cAMP-dependent alterations of Ca(2+) signaling. However, cAMP can activate both protein kinase A and an exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac), but their functional interaction is unclear. In heart, selective Epac activation can induce potentially arrhythmogenic sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release that involves Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) effects on the ryanodine receptor (RyR).We tested whether physiological ?-AR activation causes Epac-mediated SR Ca(2+) leak and arrhythmias and whether it requires Epac1 versus Epac2, ?(1)-AR versus ?(2)-AR, and CaMKII?-dependent phosphorylation of RyR2-S2814. We used knockout (KO) mice for Epac1, Epac2, or both. All KOs exhibited unaltered basal cardiac function, Ca(2+) handling, and hypertrophy in response to pressure overload. However, SR Ca(2+) leak induced by the specific Epac activator 8-CPT in wild-type mice was abolished in Epac2-KO and double-KO mice but was unaltered in Epac1-KO mice. ?-AR-induced arrhythmias were also less inducible in Epac2-KO versus wild-type mice. ?-AR activation with protein kinase A inhibition mimicked 8-CPT effects on SR Ca(2+) leak and was prevented by blockade of ?(1)-AR but not ?(2)-AR. CaMKII inhibition (KN93) and genetic ablation of either CaMKII? or CaMKII phosphorylation on RyR2-S2814 prevented 8-CPT-induced SR Ca(2+) leak.?(1)-AR activates Epac2 to induce SR Ca(2+) leak via CaMKII?-dependent phosphorylation of RyR2-S2814. This pathway contributes to ?-AR-induced arrhythmias and reduced cardiac function.

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.

Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates phospholamban in isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum from cardiac and smooth muscle.

Project description:Phospholamban of isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum of cardiac and smooth muscle is phosphorylated by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase). Concomitantly, the affinity of the Ca2+ pump for Ca2+ is increased. These effects are very similar to those seen with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase). The phosphate incorporation into phospholamban and the stimulatory effects of both kinases on the Ca2+ pump are not additive, suggesting that G-kinase phosphorylates the same serine residue as A-kinase. A possible physiological role for phosphorylation of phospholamban by G-kinase is discussed.

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.

Dynamic calcium movement inside cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum during release.

Project description:Intra-sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) free [Ca] ([Ca](SR)) provides the driving force for SR Ca release and is a key regulator of SR Ca release channel gating during normal SR Ca release or arrhythmogenic spontaneous Ca release events. However, little is known about [Ca](SR) spatiotemporal dynamics.To directly measure local [Ca](SR) with subsarcomeric spatiotemporal resolution during both normal global SR Ca release and spontaneous Ca sparks and to evaluate the quantitative implications of spatial [Ca](SR) gradients.Intact and permeabilized rabbit ventricular myocytes were subjected to direct simultaneous measurement of cytosolic [Ca] and [Ca](SR) and FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleach). We found no detectable [Ca](SR) gradients between SR release sites (junctional SR) and Ca uptake sites (free SR) during normal global Ca release, clear spatiotemporal [Ca](SR) gradients during isolated Ca blinks, faster intra-SR diffusion in the longitudinal versus transverse direction, 3- to 4-fold slower diffusion of fluorophores in the SR than in cytosol, and that intra-SR Ca diffusion varies locally, dependent on local SR connectivity. A computational model clarified why spatiotemporal gradients are more detectable in isolated local releases versus global releases and provides a quantitative framework for understanding intra-SR Ca diffusion.Intra-SR Ca diffusion is rapid, limiting spatial [Ca](SR) gradients during excitation-contraction coupling. Spatiotemporal [Ca](SR) gradients are apparent during Ca sparks, and these observations constrain models of dynamic Ca movement inside the SR. This has important implications for myocyte SR Ca handling, synchrony, and potentially arrhythmogenic spontaneous contraction.

Depletion of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of cardiac muscle prompts phosphorylation of phospholamban to stimulate store refilling.

Project description:Nonmuscle cells have almost ubiquitously evolved a mechanism to detect and prevent Ca2+ store depletion-store operated calcium entry. No such mechanism has, as yet, been reported in cardiac myocytes. However, it is conceivable that such a mechanism may play an important role in cardiac Ca2+ homeostasis to ensure the availability of sufficient stored Ca2+ to maintain normal excitation contraction coupling. We present data that confirms the presence of a mechanism that is able to monitor the Ca2+ load of the SR and initiate a signaling process to accelerate Ca2+ uptake by the SR when store depletion is detected. Depletion of SR Ca2+ activates a protein kinase, the principal SR substrate of which is phospholamban. Phosphorylation of this SR protein promotes Ca2+ pump activity and therefore store refilling. Furthermore, a protein kinase activity associated with the SR that is inhibited by Ca2+ ions has been identified. We have measured lumenal [Ca2+] by using a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator and found that by initiating Ca2+ uptake and increasing Ca2+ load, we can inhibit the protein kinase activity associated with the SR. This confirms that a protein kinase, that is regulated by lumenal [Ca2+], has been identified and represents part of a previously unidentified signalling cascade. This local feedback mechanism would allow the myocyte to detect and prevent SR Ca2+ load depletion.

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.

Copper regulates cyclic-AMP-dependent lipolysis.

Project description:Cell signaling relies extensively on dynamic pools of redox-inactive metal ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium and zinc, but their redox-active transition metal counterparts such as copper and iron have been studied primarily as static enzyme cofactors. Here we report that copper is an endogenous regulator of lipolysis, the breakdown of fat, which is an essential process in maintaining body weight and energy stores. Using a mouse model of genetic copper misregulation, in combination with pharmacological alterations in copper status and imaging studies in a 3T3-L1 white adipocyte model, we found that copper regulates lipolysis at the level of the second messenger, cyclic AMP (cAMP), by altering the activity of the cAMP-degrading phosphodiesterase PDE3B. Biochemical studies of the copper-PDE3B interaction establish copper-dependent inhibition of enzyme activity and identify a key conserved cysteine residue in a PDE3-specific loop that is essential for the observed copper-dependent lipolytic phenotype.

Lysosomal sulphate transport is dependent upon sulphydryl groups.

Project description:Using thiol blocking agents, we examined the role of sulphydryl groups for function of the lysosomal sulphate transport system. Monothiol binding reagents, p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid (p-HMB) and p-chloromercuribenzene sulphonic acid (p-CMBS), dithiol binding reagents such as CuCl2, the alkylating agent, N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), and NADH all inhibited lysosomal sulphate transport. The inhibitory effects of NEM and Cu2+ were not additive, suggesting that they both act upon the same critical sulphydryl group(s). Unlike the case for NEM, the inhibitory effects of Cu2+ were reversed by the reducing agent, dithiothreitol. Exposure to NEM resulted in a seven-fold increase in Km to 867 microM versus a control value of 126 microM and a modest decrease in Vmax to 99 pmolperunit beta-hexosaminidase per 30 s versus a control value of 129 pmolperunit beta-hexosaminidase per 30 s. Similar although somewhat less dramatic results were obtained using Cu2+ with an increase of Km to 448 microM and a Vmax of 77 pmolperunit beta-hexosaminidase per 30 s. The sulphate transport activity of detergent solubilized lysosomal membranes could be bound to a p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (p-CMB)-Sepharose sulphydryl affinity resin and eluted with mercaptoethanol. Sulphydryl groups thus appear to play a role in sulphate transport through effects on substrate affinity. Sulphydryl-binding appears to be a strategy that may be useful for purification of the transporter.

Characterization of calumenin-SERCA2 interaction in mouse cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Project description:Calumenin is a multiple EF-hand Ca(2+)-binding protein localized in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) with C-terminal SR retention signal HDEF. Recently, we showed evidence that calumenin interacts with SERCA2 in rat cardiac SR (Sahoo, S. K., and Kim, D. H. (2008) Mol. Cells 26, 265-269). The present study was undertaken to further characterize the association of calumenin with SERCA2 in mouse heart by various gene manipulation approaches. Immunocytochemical analysis showed that calumenin and SERCA2 were partially co-localized in HL-1 cells. Knockdown (KD) of calumenin was conducted in HL-1 cells and 80% reduction of calumenin did not induce any expressional changes of other Ca(2+)-cycling proteins. But it enhanced Ca(2+) transient amplitude and showed shortened time to reach peak and decreased time to reach 50% of baseline. Oxalate-supported Ca(2+) uptake showed increased Ca(2+) sensitivity of SERCA2 in calumenin KD HL-1 cells. Calumenin and SERCA2 interaction was significantly lower in the presence of thapsigargin, vanadate, or ATP, as compared with 1.3 mum Ca(2+), suggesting that the interaction is favored in the E1 state of SERCA2. A glutathione S-transferase-pulldown assay of calumenin deletion fragments and SERCA2 luminal domains suggested that regions of 132-222 amino acids of calumenin and 853-892 amino acids of SERCA2-L4 are the major binding partners. On the basis of our in vitro binding data and available information on three-dimensional structure of Ca(2+)-ATPases, a molecular model was proposed for the interaction between calumenin and SERCA2. Taken together, the present results suggest that calumenin is a novel regulator of SERCA2, and its expressional changes are tightly coupled with Ca(2+)-cycling of cardiomyocytes.
