Abstract
The 44-kDa regulatory subunit (R44) of one form of cAMP-dependent protein kinase of Paramecium was purified, and two partial internal amino acid sequences from it were used to clone the corresponding cDNA. This R44 cDNA clone was 1022-bp long, including 978 bp of coding sequence and 7 bp and 37 bp of 5' and 3' untranslated sequences, respectively. A 1.1-kb mRNA was labeled on a Northern blot. The deduced R44 amino acid sequence had 31%-38% positional identity to the sequences of other cloned cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunits. R44 sequence showed equal sequence similarity to mammalian types I and II regulatory subunits. The N-terminal sequence encoding the regulatory subunit dimerization domain found in most regulatory subunits is not present in the R44 clone, confirming the lack of regulatory subunit dimer formation previously reported for the Paramecium cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The putative autophosphorylation site of R44 contains the amino acid sequence TRTS, distinct from the consensus sequence RRXS, where X is any residue, found in other autophosphorylated cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunits and many cAMP-dependent protein kinase substrates.

Abstract
Two isoforms of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, Calpha and Cbeta1, are known to be widely expressed in mammals. Although much is known about the structure and function of Calpha, few studies have addressed the possibility of a distinct role for the Cbeta proteins. The present study is a detailed comparison of the biochemical properties of these two isoforms, which were initially expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Cbeta1 demonstrated higher Km values for some peptide substrates than did Calpha, but Cbeta1 was insensitive to substrate inhibition, a phenomenon that was observed with Calpha at substrate concentrations above 100 microM. Calpha and Cbeta1 displayed distinct IC50 values for the alpha and beta isoforms of the protein kinase inhibitor, protein kinase inhibitorpeptide, and the type IIalpha regulatory subunit (RIIalpha). Of particular interest, purified type II holoenzyme containing Cbeta1 exhibited a 5-fold lower Ka value for cAMP (13 nM) than did type II holoenzyme containing Calpha (63 nM). This latter result was extended to in vivo conditions by employing a transcriptional activation assay. In these experiments, luciferase reporter activity in COS-1 cells expressing RIIalpha2Cbeta12 holoenzyme was half-maximal at 12-fold lower concentrations of 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP and 5-fold lower concentrations of forskolin than in COS-1 cells expressing RIIalpha2Calpha2 holoenzyme. These results provide evidence that type II holoenzyme formed with Cbeta1 is preferentially activated by cAMP in vivo and suggest that activation of the holoenzyme is determined in part by interactions between the regulatory and catalytic subunits that have not been described previously.

Abstract
Normal growth and differentiation of embryonic palatal tissue depends on regulated levels of intracellular cAMP. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases (PKA) act to mediate the biological activities of cAMP. PKA isozyme protein profiles demonstrate a clear pattern of temporal alterations in embryonic palatal tissue during its development. In order to ascertain the molecular basis for changing PKA isozyme profiles during palatal ontogeny, the spatial and temporal expression of mRNAs for regulatory (RI alpha, RII alpha, and RII beta) and catalytic (C alpha) subunits of PKA was examined. RNA extracted from murine embryonic palatal tissue (days 12-14 of gestation) was examined by Northern blot analysis. Significant levels of constitutively expressed RI alpha and C alpha mRNA were seen on all days of gestation examined. RI alpha transcripts were substantially less abundant in palate mesenchymal cells in vitro than in palatal tissue in vivo. Levels of RII alpha and RII beta mRNA were highest on gestational day (GD) 12, a period characterized by pronounced palatal tissue growth. In addition, patterns of tissue distribution of RII beta, not previously described, were examined in the developing embryonic palate. A dramatic developmental shift in tissue distribution of RII beta was seen. The isozyme was evenly distributed between palatal epithelial and mesenchymal cells on GD 12 but by GD 14, RII beta was predominantly localized to palatal epithelial cells. Direct activation of adenylate cyclase with forskolin in murine embryonic palate mesenchymal (MEPM) cells resulted in an increase in RII alpha mRNA levels but had no effect on steady state levels of RII beta or C alpha mRNA. In addition, elevation of intracellular levels of cAMP resulted in a shift in the transcriptional profile of RI alpha mRNAs. Results of this study document specific patterns of expression for the genes encoding the various cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory and C alpha subunits in murine embryonic palatal tissue. In addition, we have demonstrated adaptational changes of this kinase in MEPM cells in response to conditions of increased intracellular levels of cAMP.

Abstract
Previously, we have reported a decrease in the binding of a cAMP analog to the regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK), as well as a decrease in cAMP-PK activities, in psoriatic cells. Retinoic acid (RA) treatment of these cells can induce an increase in cAMP-PK toward normal levels. To better define the effect of retinoic acid on the cAMP-PK system in psoriatic fibroblasts, Western blot analysis using an RII alpha specific antibody and in vivo phosphorylation experiments were carried out to determine possible changes in the RII regulatory subunit. Our results indicate a decrease in the binding of the cAMP analog 8-azido-[32P]-cAMP with no change in the level of RII protein in psoriatic fibroblasts. In addition, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis we observed the presence of a phosphorylated form of RII unique to psoriatic cells which is suppressed by RA treatment. This study suggests an altered posttranslational modification of the cAMP-PKII in psoriatic fibroblasts which can be reversed by exposure of these cells to RA.

Abstract
Using in situ hybridization histochemistry and immunohistochemistry, the present study examines the cooperative regulation of transcription of molecules involved in the Ras-signal and the cAMP dependent protein kinase (PKA) pathways during peripheral nerve regeneration in rats. Injury to hypoglossal motor neurons resulted in an increase in extracellular regulated kinase (ERK, or MAP kinase) and ERK kinase (MEK, or MAP kinase kinase) mRNAs, but in a decrease in the expression of the catalytic subunits of PKA (C alpha and C beta) mRNAs. These results show the importance of the Ras-signal pathway in the nerve regeneration process and extend recent observation which suggested a cross-talk between the Ras and PKA pathways in vitro. The down-regulation of PKA may facilitate the activation of the Ras pathway which is located downstream of the growth factor receptor. The present study may suggest a possibility of regulatory talk between these two major signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the changes in gene expressions of catalytic (C alpha, beta) and regulatory (RI alpha, beta and RII alpha, beta) subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in axotomized facial motoneurons of the rat. Nerve transection induced changes in the expression of C subunit messenger RNAs and RII subunit messenger RNAs. Control facial motoneurons had a high expression of both C alpha and C beta subunit messenger RNAs, but their expression declined after axotomy. The decrease was most pronounced at postoperative week 2 and returned to basal level within postoperative week 4. In contrast, the expression of both RII alpha and beta subunit messenger RNAs, which were low in control facial motoneurons, was increased after axotomy. Enhancement of RII subunits messenger RNAs was apparent during postoperative weeks 1 and 3, and then returned to the basal level. RI alpha, beta subunits messenger RNAs were strongly expressed in normal facial motoneurons, but were not clearly influenced by axotomy. These results indicate an attenuation of total PKA activity in axotomized facial motoneurons. Furthermore, such gene regulation may imply a change of the targets for PKA in facial motoneurons during the process of neurite regeneration.

Abstract
Demembranated rat sperm flagellar polypeptides capable of binding the regulatory subunit (RII) of a type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase, having apparent subunit molecular masses of 120, 80 and 57 kDa were identified by an RII overlay procedure [Horowitz, J. A., Wasco, W., Leiser, M. & Orr, G. A. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 2098-2104]. In this study it is shown that all three polypeptides capable of binding RII on a solid-phase blot are tightly associated with the fibrous sheath. Purified fibrous sheath preparations were capable of binding (a) [3H]cAMP and (b) purified catalytic subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase forming a functional holoenzyme. The 57-kDa protein was identified as RII by photoaffinity labeling with 8-azido[32P]cAMP. This peptide was phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. RII alpha was also shown to form tight, specific complexes with the fibrous sheath demonstrating the presence of functional RII alpha-binding sites. Truncated RII beta fusion proteins were used to identify the N-terminal amino acids at positions 1-50 as a primary determinant for RII-binding protein interaction. Differential extraction of adult testis with buffers containing Triton X-100, urea and sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed the presence of 80-kDa (major) and 120-kDa (minor) RII-binding proteins in particulate extracts. The 80-kDa polypeptide is only expressed at late stages of spermatogenesis, i.e. during spermiogenesis, suggesting a developmental role for RII anchoring to the sperm flagellar fibrous sheath.

Abstract
Full-length human cDNAs for all the different regulatory (R) and catalytic (C) subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinases (PKA) were transcribed and translated in a cell-free in vitro system. The resulting proteins were characterized with respect to molecular size, isoelectric focusing, immunoreactivity, cAMP binding, and to what extent the RII protein subunits revealed mobility shifts upon phosphorylation by catalytic subunit of PKA. We were able to express cDNAs for all the human R (RI alpha, RI beta, RII alpha and RII beta) and C (C alpha, C beta and C gamma) subunits in a wheat-germ extract. [35S]Methionine-labelled in-vitro-translated products were analyzed by SDS/PAGE and revealed distinct protein bands with apparent molecular masses of 49 (RI alpha), 54-55 (RI beta), 51 (RII alpha) and 53 kDa (RII beta) for the R subunits. In vitro transcription/translation of the cDNAs for the C subunits of PKA gave proteins with molecular masses of approximately 40 kDa for all the different C subunits. Phosphorylation of RII alpha and RII beta by the C subunit of PKA, revealed a distinct mobility shift of the RII alpha subunit on one-dimensional SDS/PAGE (51-54 kDa), but not of RII beta (53 kDa). Further characterization of the R subunits by two-dimensional SDS/PAGE revealed that RI alpha was more acidic than RI beta, with pIs of 6.1-6.0 and 6.4-6.2, respectively. Furthermore, the RII alpha protein was more basic than RII beta, with pIs of approximately 5.4-5.3 and 5.3-5.1, respectively. All the in-vitro-translated R subunits could be photoaffinity labelled by the cAMP-analog 8-azido-[32P]cAMP and were also detected by immunoprecipitation with subunit-specific antibodies.

Abstract
This study examines the mechanism of TSH action on the cAMP-dependent protein kinases (PKA) by measuring the catalytic activity of the two PKA isozymes (PKA I and PKA II) and their capacity to bind cAMP to the regulatory subunits (RI and RII) in thyroid cell cultures exposed for two days to different doses of TSH. In TSH-treated cell cultures a selective down regulation (up to 60%) of the catalytic activity was found; the PKA I was down regulated at lower TSH doses (0.1 mU/ml and even 0.05 mU/ml) than was the PKA II (1.0 mU/ml TSH). At the dose of 1.0 mU/ml the loss of the catalytic activity in PKA I and PKA II was respectively 60% and 40%. No free catalytic activity was found either in control or in TSH-treated cells. Binding of cAMP to regulatory subunits (R) measured under exchange conditions at 37 degrees C, showed that no change in total regulatory subunit protein content occurs in TSH-treated cells. Binding of cAMP to R subunits at 4 degrees C (when only free cAMP binding sites are measured) revealed an important endogenous occupancy of cAMP binding sites of RI and RII isoreceptors under basal conditions (40%) and a significantly increased occupancy after exposure of cells to TSH (60%). Pools of regulatory subunits with more than 50% of sites occupied, which were devoid of enzyme activity, were found both, in control and TSH-exposed cells. They were identified as RI subunits which represented a mixed population of native and partly degraded molecules.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is composed of two genetically distinct catalytic (C) and regulatory (R) subunits. There are two different classes of PKA, designated as type I and type II, which contain distinct R subunits (RI or RII, respectively) but share a common C subunit. Enhanced expression of type I PKA has been correlated with cell proliferation and neoplastic transformation. Detection of the different PKA subunits is usually performed by photoaffinity labeling with 8-N3-32P-cAMP or by radioimmunolabeling techniques. Both techniques are time consuming and require a high number of cells and the use of radioactive reagents. Using the MCF-10A normal human mammary cell line infected with a recombinant retroviral vector containing the human RI alpha gene (MCF-10A RI alpha), we have developed a flow-cytometric assay to detect the intracellular content of RI alpha protein in human cells. MCF-10A and MCF-10A RI alpha cells were fixed in 1.5% paraformaldehyde at 37 degrees C for 15 min and permeabilized by methanol and acetone (1:1) at -20 degrees C for 5 min before staining with a specific IgG2a MoAb followed by a FITC-conjugate rabbit-anti mouse IgG. This procedure was also successfully utilized to recognize RI alpha protein content in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Flow-cytometric detection of the RI alpha subunit in human cells is feasible and allows the study of the role of type I PKA in cell growth and neoplastic transformation.

Abstract
The catalytic (C) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase interacts with two classes of inhibitors. The regulatory (R) subunits, types I and II, associate to form an inactive holoenzyme complex that is activated in response to cAMP. The C-subunit is also inhibited by small heat-stable protein kinase inhibitors (PKI's). Inhibition by both PKI and RI-subunit requires the synergistic high-affinity binding of MgATP. The stabilizing effect of ATP was quantitated by using analytical gel chromatography. Both the type I holoenzyme and the C.PKI complex in the presence of MgATP show apparent Kd's for subunit association that are below 0.1 nM, while in the absence of MgATP the apparent Kd's are 125 nM and 2.3 microM, respectively, for the two complexes. In the absence of MgATP both complexes also can be dissociated readily and, hence, activated by salt-induced dissociation. Under physiological salt concentrations, salt-induced dissociation would be substantial in the absence of the high-affinity binding of MgATP. In both complexes, the ATPase activity of the free C-subunit is abolished. The off rates for MgATP also indicate that the type I holoenzyme is more stable than the C.PKI complex. The off rate (t1/2) for MgATP from the C.PKI complex is 17 min, while the off rate for the type I holoenzyme is 11.7 h. When the C.PKI complex is incubated with RI-subunit in the presence or absence of MgATP, the C-subunit preferentially reassociates with the RI-subunit, forming holoenzyme. In contrast, free PKI cannot compete for the C-subunit when it is part of a holoenzyme complex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) regulates a variety of diverse biochemical events through the phosphorylation of target proteins. Because PKA is a multifunctional enzyme with a broad substrate specificity, its compartmentalization may be a key regulatory event in controlling which particular target substrates are phosphorylated. In recent years it has been demonstrated that differential localization of the type II holoenzyme is directed through interaction of the regulatory subunit (RII) with a family of A-Kinase Anchoring Proteins (AKAPs). In this report, we review evidence for PKA compartmentalization and discuss the structural and functional properties of AKAPs.

Abstract
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK) plays an essential role during differentiation and fruit morphogenesis in Dictyostelium discoideum. The presence of an open reading frame on the gene, pkaC (previously named either Dd PK2 or Dd PK3 by different groups), predicts a 73-kDa polypeptide with 54% similarity to the catalytic subunits of cAPKs from other organisms. Using anti-peptide antibodies, we show that the pkaC gene product, PkaC, is a 73-kDa polypeptide. Despite the fact that PkaC is about twice the size of its mammalian counterparts, it possesses all of the properties required of a catalytic subunit. It is physically associated with the regulatory subunit, and this association results in an inhibition of the catalytic activity which is reverted by cAMP. PkaC copurifies with cAPK activity, and an increased cAPK activity is observed in cells overexpressing PkaC. We conclude that PkaC is a catalytic subunit of the Dictyostelium discoideum cAPK and discuss the unusual features of this protein with the highest molecular weight of known cAPKs.

Abstract
Growth and differentiation of cells derived from the embryonic palate are critically dependent on the intracellular cAMP-mediated signal transduction pathway. Human embryonic palate mesenchymal (HEPM) cells have been widely used to examine the effect of teratogens on palatal tissue growth and differentiation, as well as a prescreen for environmental teratogens. This study examined responsiveness of HEPM cells to agents known to stimulate adenylate cyclase, characterized cAMP-dependent protein kinases (cAMP-dPK) (EC 2.7.1.37) and investigated to what extent HEPM cells reveal adaptational responses to cAMP at the level of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. HEPM cells exhibited a total cell cycle transit time of approximately 22 h and responded maximally, when confluent, to prostacyclin (PGI2), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and isoproterenol with time- and dose-dependent increases in intracellular levels of cAMP. The order of sensitivity to hormonal activation of adenylate cyclase was PGE2 > isoproterenol > PGI2. Basal cAMP-dependent protein kinases activity was 0.184 fmol phosphate transferred from ATP to histone per microgram protein per minute under conditions where endogenous phosphatases did not significantly affect protein phosphorylation. Regulatory subunits of cAMP-dPK in HEPM cells were characterized by the binding of [3H]cAMP to cytosolic fractions. Specific binding was saturable at approximately 50 nM indicating the presence of binding sites that are finite in number. Calculation of half-maximal binding yielded an estimated Kd of 25 nM indicating the presence of high affinity binding sites. Cyclic AMP-dPK regulatory subunits were also photoaffinity labeled with 8-N3-[32P]-cAMP, subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and radiolabeled bands visualized by autoradiography. Photoactivated incorporation of 8-N3-[32P]cAMP was detected into two proteins of molecular weight (M(r)) 45,000 and M(r) 51,000 representing, respectively, the RI alpha and RII beta subunits of cAMP-dPK. Binding of [32P]8-azido cAMP to proteins of M(r) 45,000 (RI alpha) and M(r) 51,000 (RII beta) was increased in response to elevation of intracellular cAMP via inhibition of its breakdown with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, or by direct activation of adenylate cyclase with forskolin. HEPM cells thus revealed adaptational responses to cAMP at the level of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Characterization of the cAMP signal transduction pathway in HEPM cells, derived from embryonic palatal tissue which is critically dependent on this pathway for normal development, may provide information fundamental to a clear understanding of cellular events involved in palatal ontogeny. These results highlight several important differences between HEPM cells and murine embryonic palate mesenchymal cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
This review summarizes various aspects of the inherited kidney disorder nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). The clinical manifestations of the disease are presented. The important role of the genetic localization of the NDI gene to the X-chromosome long arm, in region Xq28, for carrier detection and early (prenatal) diagnosis of the disorder is emphasized. Following an overview of the cellular physiology involved in the antidiuretic action of vasopressin, possible mechanisms in the pathogenesis of NDI are discussed. We hypothesize that NDI is most probably due to the absence or abnormality of the renal V2 receptor. This assumption is strengthened by recent findings in receptor studies, which indicate a general V2 receptor defect in NDI, and in experiments with somatic cell hybrid cell lines, which are consistent with a co-localization of the genes for NDI and for the V2 receptor in the Xq28 region. Finally, the efficacy of the combination amiloride-hydrochlorothiazide, compared with the indomethacin-hydrochlorothiazide regimen, in the treatment of NDI is presented and the advantages of the former combination are discussed.

Abstract
Based upon recent reports that the rat testis exhibits mRNAs for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) regulatory (R) subunits RI alpha, RI beta, RII alpha, and RII beta, this study was designed to identify R proteins present in extracts of germ cell-rich testis from adult and Sertoli cell-enriched, germ cell-poor testis from 14-15-day-old rats. Following separation by DEAE-cellulose, R subunits were identified by Mr: (a) upon labeling with 8-N3[32P]cAMP and 32P in an RII phosphorylation reaction and; (b) by Western blot analysis using R-specific antibodies on one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Elution of R subunits as catalytic (C) subunit-free dimers or in association with C subunits to form holoenzyme was determined by their sedimentation characteristics on sucrose gradient centrifugation in conjunction with their cAMP-stimulated activation characteristics on Eadie-Scatchard analysis. Soluble extracts of testes, from both adult and 14-15 day-old rats, showed the presence of a prominent type I holoenzyme containing RI alpha subunits (47 kDa, peak 1), a minor type II holoenzyme, containing RII beta subunits (52 kDa, peak 2), and a second, more abundant, type II holoenzyme peak containing predominantly RII alpha and, to a lesser extent RII beta subunits (peak 3). The 53 kDa RI beta protein predicted by mRNA studies was only tentatively identified by Western blot analysis. Testes extracts of 14-15-day-old, but not adult, rats exhibited high levels of C subunit-free RI alpha, a result not predicted by mRNA studies. This latter result may be attributable to direct RI alpha regulation or to indirect RII beta regulation at a time during testis development prior to germ cell maturation.

Abstract
1. The levels of mRNAs for RII beta and G beta were about 50% lower in brown adipose tissue (BAT) from hyperthyroid than from hypothyroid rats. 2. Treatment of hypothyroid rats with T3 resulted in a 50% decrease in mRNAs for RII beta and G beta in BAT occurring by 12 hr after treatment. 3. The levels of mRNAs for hormone-sensitive lipase, G alpha s and C alpha in BAT were unchanged by thyroid hormone status. 4. The results suggest that thyroid hormone may be involved in negative regulation of the expression of RII beta and G beta at the transcriptional level in BAT.

Abstract
A cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) analogue, 8-chloro-cAMP (8-Cl-cAMP), had a collateral growth-inhibitory effect on a cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP)-resistant human cancer cell lines (PC-14/CDDP). The non-selective analogues dibutyryl-cAMP, 8-bromo-cAMP and forskolin, which are cAMP agonists, showed far less cytotoxicity than 8-Cl-cAMP in both cell lines. There was no significant difference in cAMP content between PC-14 and PC-14/CDDP. Because 8-Cl-cAMP has been shown to bind selectively to the site I receptor of the type II regulatory subunit (RII) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, we determined the level of expression of regulatory subunits in PC-14 and PC-14/CDDP cells by photoaffinity labeling. PC-14/CDDP cells had a higher RII level, low site I receptor of type I regulatory subunit (RI) level, and a lower RI/RII ratio than the parental PC-14 cells. Exposure to 8-Cl-cAMP increased the RI and RII level in PC-14/CDDP cells in dose- and time-dependent manners. On the other hand, in parental PC-14 cells, RII was not detected and the levels of RI and RII were not increased by exposure to 8-Cl-cAMP. These results suggested that the change in RI and/or RII levels caused by 8-Cl-cAMP was correlated with 8-Cl-cAMP-induced growth inhibition and that the collateral sensitivity to 8-Cl-cAMP in CDDP-resistant cells was due to the increased RII level. Our results suggest that 8-Cl-cAMP can be used in combination with CDDP and that measurement of RI and RII levels and/or the RI/RII ratio is a useful tool to predict CDDP sensitivity.

Abstract
The distribution of the regulatory (RII beta) subunits of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase in cortical and subcortical areas was examined in human control and Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. Four monoclonal antibodies generated against bovine brain RII, which cross-reacted with human brain RII beta, detected RII-immunoreactivity in pyramidal neurons of the hippocampus and frontal, occipital, parietal and superior temporal cortices and in non-pyramidal neurons of the amygdala and putamen. RII beta immunoreactivity was localized to neuronal perikarya, proximal dendrites and cell processes. With the exception of rare processes in the ventroposterior lateral nucleus, RII-immunoreactivity was not seen in the thalamus. Other areas lacking RII-immunoreactivity included the midbrain, caudate nucleus and globus pallidus. RII-immunoreactivity was not detected in endothelia or glia. Except for the neocortex, the distribution of RII beta immunoreactivity was the same in AD and non-demented control brains; however, cell bodies and their processes stained more intensely and uniformly in the neocortical regions of non-demented controls compared to AD. In the neocortex of AD, RII beta immunoreactivity was substantially decreased in the superior temporal and occipital cortices, but not in the frontal cortex. Our data suggest that RII subunits are regionally distributed in the human brain. RII-immunoreactivity was decreased in some regions of neocortex in AD, but it did not preferentially colocalize with neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), senile plaques, or neuropil threads.

Abstract
Based on RII autophosphorylation, photoaffinity labeling with 8-N3[32P]cAMP, and Western blot analysis we have identified the RII isoform found in rabbit corpora lutea as RII beta. The RII beta subunit found in rabbit corpora lutea differs from the RII beta found in rat follicles and corpora lutea in that it migrates at Mr 52,500 on SDS-PAGE and shifts to Mr 53,000 when phosphorylated.

Abstract
A cDNA for the human catalytic subunit (C beta) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) has been cloned from a testis cDNA library. In the present study, we have determined the chromosomal localization of this gene using a cDNA for C beta as a probe. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA from human/mouse cell hybrids revealed that the presence or absence of a 20-kb XbaI fragment, which hybridized with the C beta probe, was concordant with the presence of human chromosome 1. In situ hybridization to metaphase chromosome confirmed the somatic cell hybrid data and regionally mapped the C beta gene of PKA to the p36 band on chromosome 1.

Abstract
The aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii provides a system for studying the regulation of expression of regulatory (R) and catalytic (C) subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Blastocladiella cells contain a single PKA with properties very similar to type II kinases of mammalian tissues. During development cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity and its associated cAMP-binding activity change drastically. We have previously shown that the increase in cAMP-binding activity during sporulation is due to de novo synthesis of R subunit and to an increase in the translatable mRNA coding for R (Marques et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 178, 803, 1989). In the present work we have continued these studies to investigate the mechanism by which the changes in the level of kinase activity take place. The C subunit of Blastocladiella has been purified; antiserum has been raised against it and used to determine amounts of C subunit throughout the fungus' life cycle. A sharp increase in C subunit content occurs during sporulation and peaks at the zoospore stage. Northern blot analyses, using Blastocladiella C and R cDNA probes, have shown that the levels of C and R mRNAs parallel their intracellular protein concentrations. These results indicate a coordinate pretranslational control for C and R subunit expression during differentiation in Blastocladiella.

Abstract
Beta-adrenergic-stimulated parotid secretion is believed to be mediated by activation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-A). However, the relative roles of the type I and II PK-A isoenzymes are still unclear. Combinations of site-selective, lipophilic cAMP analogues that synergistically activate each PK-A were used to investigate this problem. The selectivity of synergistic activation with these combinations was verified with the partially purified parotid PK-A isoenzymes, using kemptide as a substrate. Synergism in activation of PK-AII was only seen with 8-thiomethyl cAMP (8-TM) and N-6-benzoyl cyclic AMP (N6B), while PK-AI was only synergistically activated by 8-(6-aminohexyl) amino cyclic AMP (AHA) and N6B. Additive activation of each isoenzyme was observed for the combination of 8-TM and AHA. Rates of amylase secretion from dispersed parotid acini in response to secretagogues were determined with a coupled enzyme assay for amylase activity, which was adapted for use in a microplate reader. Cells were stimulated to secrete during 30 min with different doses (0.1-1.0 mM) and combinations of the cyclic nucleotide analogues. Alone, N6B was most effective in stimulating amylase secretion. The basal amylase secretory rate was stimulated by these secretagogues (0.44 mM) to the following extent: 53-fold (N6B), 8-fold (8-AHA), 2-fold (8-TM). In combination at a series of concentrations, only 8-TM + N6B produced synergistic stimulation of secretion, while AHA + N6B and 8-TM + AHA did not.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The promoter and exon 1 of the regulatory subunit (RII beta) of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase were isolated from a mouse genomic library. The 5'-flanking DNA lacked TATA and CAAT sites but contained GC rich regions typically found in constitutively expressed house keeping genes. Fusion gene constructs, containing RII beta 5'-flanking sequences and the bacterial CAT structural gene, were transfected into NB2a neuroblastoma cells and CHO cells. The NB2a cells expressed high levels of CAT activity. CHO cells expressed CAT activity at 5% of the level seen in the NB2a cells. Transfection of deletion constructs into both cell lines was used to define the core promoter and enhancer elements. The core promoter was situated between bp -291/-121. An enhancer element was located between bp -1426/-1018.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone stimulate proopiomelanocortin (POMC) promoter activity and mRNA levels in ovarian granulosa cells. The objective of these studies was to determine the role of cAMP-dependent protein kinases (pKA) in gonadotropin-stimulated gene expression. Primary cultures of rat granulosa cells were transfected with a gene construct consisting of the POMC promoter (-150 to +63; designated pOMC-CAT) fused to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene either alone or cotransfected with an expression plasmid (designated mutant RI), which overexpresses a mutant form of the murine RI subunit incapable of binding cAMP and serving as an irreversible inhibitor of the catalytic subunit of pKA. Follicle-stimulating hormone or isoproterenol caused a significant stimulation of pOMC-CAT activity in transfected cells. Cotransfection of pOMC-CAT with mutant RI caused a significant inhibition of basal pOMC-CAT activity and abolished the gonadotropin stimulation. As a control, transfection of the SV-40 viral enhancer-promoter fused to CAT (pSV2-CAT) was unresponsive to follicle-stimulating hormone stimulation and cotransfection with mutant RI had no significant effect on pSV2-CAT activity. These studies suggest that gonadotropin regulation of the POMC promoter is mediated by pKA and that promoter activity is stringently controlled by pKA.

Abstract
Complementary DNA clones for the regulatory subunit RI beta of cAMP-dependent protein kinases were isolated from a human testis cDNA library using a mouse RI beta cDNA probe. One clone 2.4 kilobases (kb) in length contained an open reading frame of 1137 bases, and encoded a protein of 379 amino acids (excluding the initiator methionine). The human RI beta protein was one amino acid shorter than the corresponding protein in mouse and rat. The nucleotide similarity to mouse and rat sequences was 85.6% and 84.8%, respectively, while the amino acid similarity was 97.6% and 97.3%, respectively. Northern blot analyses revealed a 2.7 kb mRNA in human tissues and a 2.8 kb mRNA in mouse tissues. Both mouse and human RI beta mRNA were found to be expressed in most tissues, and not restricted to brain and testis as reported by others.

Abstract
Alterations in the cAMP signal transduction pathway are associated with mouse lung neoplasia, cAMP effects are mediated by activating cAMP-dependent protein kinase isozymes, PKA I and PKA II. E9, a tumorigenic cell line, exhibited decreased PKA I levels compared to C10 cells, a nontumorigenic cell line of similar epithelial origin. Western immunoblots of PKA subunit proteins demonstrated low concentrations of both the catalytic (C) and regulatory (RI) PKA I subunits. Although RII (regulatory subunit of PKA II) concentrations were similar in both cell lines, RII from E9 cells was more highly phosphorylated than in C10 cells. RII phosphorylation status regulates cAMP activation of PKA II. Northern-blot analysis of mRNA content indicated diminished expression of both C and RI mRNA in E9 relative to C10 cells. Several endogenous PKA substrate proteins present in C10 cells were minimally phosphorylated by PKA in E9 cells. Forskolin, which raises cellular cAMP content, increased phosphorylation of a protein doublet in intact C10 cells, but not in E9 cells. Decreased PKA I expression and alterations in RII phosphorylation in lung neoplasia may contribute to anomalous regulation by cAMP, thereby diminishing cAMP-mediated growth inhibitory effects.

Abstract
A cAMP analogue, 8-chloro-cAMP (8-Cl-cAMP), selectively binds to site 1 receptor of type II regulatory subunit (RII) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The effects of 8-Cl-cAMP on human gastric carcinoma cell lines were studied. Twenty microM 8-Cl-cAMP clearly inhibited cell growth in six cell lines (TMK-1, KATO-III, MKN-7, -28, -45, and -74) but not in MKN-1. Cell population in the G1 phase was increased in KATO III cells, which were more responsive to 8-Cl-cAMP, while cell cycle progression in TMK-1 and MKN-1 cells was apparently not influenced by 8-Cl-cAMP. The various changes induced by 8-Cl-cAMP were further analyzed in TMK-1 cells. Decrease of type I regulatory subunit (RI) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and translocation of RII from cytosol to nucleus were induced by 8-Cl-cAMP treatment. 8-Cl-cAMP increased the level of cAMP-response element (CRE) binding protein in addition to inducing FOS mRNA, whose promoter contains CRE. 8-Cl-cAMP decreased the expression of mRNA for transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), while the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor was not changed. Expression of HRAS and MYC mRNAs was slightly increased, whereas the amounts of HRAS and MYC proteins remained unchanged. Our results overall suggest that 8-Cl-cAMP might be a useful tool for antitumor therapy of gastric cancers and that cell growth inhibition by 8-Cl-cAMP might account for the decrease of TGF-alpha expression by tumor cells.

Abstract
Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates prostaglandin biosynthesis and steroidogenesis in preovulatory (PO) follicles prior to ovulation. Since the ovulatory process shares many similarities with an inflammatory reaction, mediators of the inflammatory response, such as bradykinin (BK) have been suggested to modulate the effects of LH. In the present study the effect of BK (5 microM) on: 1) prostaglandin biosynthesis (PGE2, PGF2 alpha and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha), 2) the levels of two enzymes in the cyclo-oxygenase pathway, prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase (PGS) and prostacyclin synthase (PCS), and 3) cyclic adenosine 3'5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and progesterone response of PO follicles incubated in vitro were examined. LH (0.1 microgram/ml) stimulated the accumulation of cAMP and progesterone in the medium, while BK had no effect on these parameters. BK exerted a slight stimulatory effect on PGE2, and PGF2 alpha, (p less than or equal to 0.01) but not on 6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis, but no changes in PGS or PCS levels could be detected. The effect of LH on prostaglandin biosynthesis was much more pronounced, with an increase of PGE2, PGF2 alpha and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. LH also induced PGS. The combination of LH and BK did not alter these responses compared to that of LH alone. This study demonstrates that BK stimulates prostaglandin biosynthesis in PO follicles. In contrast to LH, this effect of BK does not seem to involve the adenylate cyclase system, since BK did not stimulate cAMP production. BK did not affect the levels of PGS or PCS, and the stimulatory effect of BK is suggested to involve an increase in the availability of substrate for the cyclo-oxygenase pathway.

Abstract
Binding of the regulatory subunit type II (RII) of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) dependent protein kinase was inhibited by Hg2+ with an IC50 value of 0.31 microM. Methyl mercury, p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (PCMB), and 5,5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) also inhibited cAMP binding with IC50 values of 70-80 microM for organic mercurials and 130 microM for DTNB. Addition of 1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol and 1 M cysteine to the assay mixture reversed these inhibitions. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) showed little effect on the binding. On the other hand, Hg2+ and methyl mercury markedly suppressed enzymatic activity of the catalytic subunit. The IC50 value was 0.13 microM for Hg2+ and 0.15 microM for organic mercurials. Scatchard plots of kinetic analysis data for the cAMP binding revealed a noncompetitive type of inhibition by mercurials and DTNB. It is suggested that blockade of sulfhydryl groups resulted in the inhibition of cAMP binding to the RII subunit, which might result in preserving the association of the RII subunit and the catalytic subunits and in preventing further inactivation of the catalytic subunit by Hg2+.

Abstract
After retinoic acid treatment, a large percentage of cells of the human embryonal carcinoma cell line NT2/D1 differentiate into neuronal cells. We demonstrate here that the differentiated cells, but not the undifferentiated cells, contain high levels of neurofilament mRNA. We have also measured mRNA, protein, and activity levels of two kinases, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC), in order to explore the role of protein kinases in the establishment of the differentiated state. RNA levels for the catalytic (C alpha and C beta) subunits of PKA increased after differentiation. Total PKA activity levels increased 7-fold in the differentiated cells. Parallel with this, a rise in the level of catalytic subunit protein occurred. A 12-fold induction of Type 2 (beta) PKC mRNA levels was observed after neuronal differentiation. Increases in PKC activity and in Type 2 (beta) and Type 3 (alpha) PKC protein levels also accompanied differentiation. These changes in PKA- and PKC-specific RNA levels and enzyme activity may be necessary for production and maintenance of the differentiated state in these cells.
