Abstract
5'-p-Fluorosulphonylbenzoyl-adenosine (FSO2BzAdo), an affinity labelling analogue of ATP, was used to label the active site of sheep brain phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PtdIns 4-kinase). The incubation of PtdIns 4-kinase with concentrations of FSO2BzAdo as low as 50 microM resulted in considerate inactivation of the enzyme. (e.g. 55% less after 60 min with 50 microM FSO2BzAdo). The kinetics of inactivation of PtdIns 4-kinase by FSO2BzAdo suggest a two-step mechanism, in which a rapid reversible binding of FSO2BzAdo to the enzyme is followed by a covalent sulphonation step. The first-order rate constant (k2) for the inactivation of PtdIns 4-kinase was calculated to be 0.063 min-1, and the steady-state constant of inactivation (Ki) to be 200 microM. Preincubation of the enzyme with either ATP plus Mg2+, or PtdIns alone, prior to addition of FSO2BzAdo reduced the degree of inactivation of the enzyme; suggesting that FSO2BzAdo binds within the active site PtdIns 4-kinase. Moreover, since ATP plus Mg2+ provided the greatest protection against inactivation, it is concluded that the main site of labelling of PtdIns 4-kinase by FSO2BzAdo is within the ATP-binding site of the enzyme. Results obtained from chemical modification experiments, which employed pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and tetranitromethane, are consistent with a catalytically-essential lysine being present within the ATP-binding site of PtdIns 4-kinase. Therefore, it is hypothesised that the inactivation of PtdIns 4-kinase by FSO2BzAdo may be due to the labelling of this lysine residue.

Abstract
We have performed large-scale random oligonucleotide insertion mutagenesis on a 41-kbp genomic segment derived from the unique long (UL) region of the alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PRV). This procedure has resulted in the generation of a series of PRV strains, each carrying a single gene whose termination of translation is induced by the inserted oligonucleotide. To relate the genes that were involved in the mutagenization to genes previously identified in herpes simplex virus type 1, the prototype alphaherpesvirus, we have performed cross-hybridization studies. In this way, we have mapped the location of the homolog of a gene which was described to have sequence characteristics of a eukaryotic phosphotransferase. We characterized the phenotype of a mutant PRV strain lacking this putative phosphotransferase also the phenotype of a PRV strain lacking, in addition to the UL-encoded putative phosphotransferase, the protein kinase encoded within the unique short region of the virus. To assess the enzymatic activity of the UL region-encoded phosphotransferase, we expressed the gene transiently in a eukaryotic expression system. Immunoprecipitation of the protein followed by kinase assays and phosphoamino acid analyses revealed protein-serine/threonine kinase activity. Implications of sequence divergence of this protein from classical protein-serine/threonine kinases for kinase structure and function are discussed in view of the recent resolution of the structure of the catalytic domain of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
An ATP-like affinity labeling reagent, 5'-[p-(fluorosulfonyl)benzoyl]adenosine (FSBA), was used to probe the MgATP-binding site of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase from chicken gizzard (smMLCK) and its calmodulin (CaM) complex. Native smMLCK has an absolute requirement for the binding of the calcium complex of CaM for expression of its catalytic activity. FSBA reacted with smMLCK-CaM and with the CaM-free, inactive enzyme as well. Both reactions were dependent on time and FSBA concentration. Reaction was accompanied by the incorporation of covalently bound [14C]FSBA into smMLCK protein at a molar ratio of approximately 1:1 in each case. p-(Fluorosulfonyl)benzoic acid, an analogue of FSBA lacking the adenosine targeting group, did not react at a significant rate with either form of smMLCK. Reaction of CaM-free and CaM-bound smMLCK with FSBA displayed saturation kinetics. The first-order rate constants for the conversion of the reversible, noncovalent enzyme-FSBA complex to form the irreversibly inhibited, covalently modified enzyme were similar for both smMLCK and smMLCK-CaM, 0.15 and 0.07 min-1, respectively. The concentrations of FSBA yielding the half-maximal rate of inactivation, KI, were essentially identical--0.65 and 0.64 mM, respectively--for smMLCK and smMLCK-CaM. MgATP, but not MgGTP or a substrate peptide, potently inhibited reaction with FSBA. Inhibition by MgATP was competitive. The measured inhibitory constant for MgATP was essentially the same--33 versus 34 microM--for both smMLCK and smMLCK-CaM. It therefore is concluded that the MgATP-binding site on smMLCK remains accessible and recognizable as such when the enzyme becomes inactivated upon dissociation of CaM.

Abstract
We have amplified and sequenced the complete coding region of bovine hexokinase isoenzyme 1 (HK1) from brain RNA with PCR primers selected for sequence conservation. The sequence information was analyzed to evaluate the evolutionary and structure-function relationships among the mammalian and yeast HK isoenzymes. Structure to function analysis identified an unduplicated, invariant N-terminal domain involved in HK1 outer mitochondrial membrane targeting, as well as putative carbohydrate and nucleotide-binding sites in the regulatory and catalytic halves of HK1 essential to enzyme function. The ATP-binding site in the catalytic half of the HK1 protein resembles nucleotide-binding regions from protein kinases, with the single amino acid replacement (lysine to glutamate) in the ATP-binding site of the amino half explaining the loss of HK1 catalytic function in the regulatory domain. Sequence comparisons suggest that the 50-kDa mammalian and yeast glucokinases arose separately in evolution. In addition to providing valuable phylogenetic and structure-function insights, this work provides an efficient strategy for rapid cloning and sequencing of the coding regions for other HKs and related proteins.

Abstract
In simple eukaryotes, protein kinases regulate mitotic and meiotic cell cycles, the response to polypeptide pheromones, and the initiation of nuclear DNA synthesis. The protein HRR25 from the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was defined by the mutation hrr25-1. This mutation resulted in sensitivity to continuous expression of the HO double-strand endonuclease, to methyl methanesulfonate, and to x-irradiation. Homozygotes of hrr25-1 were unable to sporulate and disruption and deletion of HRR25 interfered with mitotic and meiotic cell division. Sequence analysis revealed two distinctive regions in the protein. The NH2-terminus of HRR25 contains the hallmark features of protein kinases, whereas the COOH-terminus is rich in proline and glutamine. Mutations in HRR25 at conserved residues found in all protein kinases inactivated the gene, and these mutants exhibited the hrr25 null phenotypes. Taken together, the hrr25 mutant phenotypes and the features of the gene product indicate that HRR25 is a distinctive member of the protein kinase superfamily.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the catalytic subunit of cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase complexed with a 20-amino acid substrate analog inhibitor has been solved and partially refined at 2.7 A resolution to an R factor of 0.212. The magnesium adenosine triphosphate (MgATP) binding site was located by difference Fourier synthesis. The enzyme structure is bilobal with a deep cleft between the lobes. The cleft is filled by MgATP and a portion of the inhibitor peptide. The smaller lobe, consisting mostly of amino-terminal sequence, is associated with nucleotide binding, and its largely antiparallel beta sheet architecture constitutes an unusual nucleotide binding motif. The larger lobe is dominated by helical structure with a single beta sheet at the domain interface. This lobe is primarily involved in peptide binding and catalysis. Residues 40 through 280 constitute a conserved catalytic core that is shared by more than 100 protein kinases. Most of the invariant amino acids in this conserved catalytic core are clustered at the sites of nucleotide binding and catalysis.

Abstract
The structure of a 20-amino acid peptide inhibitor bound to the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and its interactions with the enzyme, are described. The x-ray crystal structure of the complex is the basis of the analysis. The peptide inhibitor, derived from a naturally occurring heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor, contains an amphipathic helix that is followed by a turn and an extended conformation. The extended region occupies the cleft between the two lobes of the enzyme and contains a five-residue consensus recognition sequence common to all substrates and peptide inhibitors of the catalytic subunit. The helical portion of the peptide binds to a hydrophobic groove and conveys high affinity binding. Loops from both domains converge at the active site and contribute to a network of conserved residues at the sites of magnesium adenosine triphosphate binding and catalysis. Amino acids associated with peptide recognition, nonconserved, extend over a large surface area.

Abstract
The product of the CDC7 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has multiple cellular functions, being needed for the initiation of DNA synthesis during mitosis as well as for synaptonemal complex formation and commitment to recombination during meiosis. The CDC7 protein has protein kinase activity and contains the conserved residues characteristic of the protein kinase catalytic domain. To determine which of the cellular functions of CDC7 require this protein kinase activity, we have mutated some of the conserved residues within the CDC7 catalytic domain and have examined the ability of the mutant proteins to support mitosis and meiosis. The results indicate that the protein kinase activity of the CDC7 gene product is essential for its function in both mitosis and meiosis and that this activity is potentially regulated by phosphorylation of the CDC7 protein.

Abstract
The secondary structure and elements of tertiary structure have been predicted for the catalytic domain of protein kinases using a method that extracts structural information from the patterns of conservation and variation in an alignment of homologous proteins. The central features of this structural prediction are: (a) the catalytic domains of protein kinases do not incorporate a Rossmann fold; (b) the core of the structure is founded on beta sheets built from pairs of bent antiparallel beta strands; (c) five helices, including an especially long helix (alignment positions 129-152) that lie on the outside of the folded core. These proteins are important in many aspects of metabolic regulation.

Abstract
5'-p-Fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine (FSBA) is a useful reagent for the affinity labeling of adenine nucleotide binding proteins. We have developed an immunochemical approach to the detection of proteins that have been covalently modified with FSBA, which provides an alternative to the use of a radiolabeled ligand. Antibodies have been prepared against FSBA-modified glutamate dehydrogenase and purified by chromatography on ATP-agarose. The resulting affinity-purified antibodies react on Western blots only with proteins that have been labeled previously with the affinity reagent. The degree of immunoreactivity on Western blots correlates well with the extent of covalent modification as shown by studies on the modification and inhibition of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. In crude cellular extracts, numerous proteins can be labeled with FSBA and then detected by using this approach. The labeling and subsequent detection of these proteins can be blocked by including an excess of MgATP, which competes with FSBA for nucleotide-binding sites. The labeling of specific proteins in crude mixtures is saturable, as shown by labeling studies of p56lck, a protein-tyrosine kinase that is abundantly expressed in membranes from the T lymphoma cell line LSTRA.

Abstract
During in vitro myogenesis, mononucleated myoblasts fuse among themselves to form multinucleated myotubes. We have recently reported for the first time in the literature that a Ca2(+)-dependent ectoprotein kinase is responsible for this process, but we had no direct evidence for the role of extracellular ATP. To investigate whether the cells can fuse or not in the absence of this nucleotide, we used a nucleotide affinity label, fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine (FSBA). We report here its use in detecting the nucleotide-binding sites at the cell surface of intact myoblasts in culture. We demonstrate that FSBA blocks fusion by inhibiting the ectoprotein kinase activity of the cells at sublethal concentrations. Radioactive [14C]SBA is incorporated into seven cell surface proteins and into the 48-kDa protein, among others. This species is specific for fusion-competent myoblasts and is implicated in this process. This is the first time that nucleotide-binding molecular species have been identified at the surface of myoblasts.

Abstract
The catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase typically phosphorylates protein substrates containing basic amino acids preceding the phosphorylation site. To identify amino acids in the catalytic subunit that might interact with these basic residues in the protein substrate, the enzyme was treated with a water-soluble carbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC), in the presence of [14C]glycine ethyl ester. Modification of the catalytic subunit in the absence of substrates led to the irreversible, first-order inhibition of activity. Neither MgATP nor a 6-residue inhibitor peptide alone was sufficient to protect the catalytic subunit against inactivation by the carbodiimide. However, the inhibitor peptide and MgATP together completely blocked the inhibitory effects of EDC. Several carboxyl groups in the free catalytic subunit were radiolabeled after the catalytic subunit was modified with EDC and [14C]glycine ethyl ester. After purification and sequencing, these carboxyl groups were identified as Glu 107, Glu 170, Asp 241, Asp 328, Asp 329, Glu 331, Glu 332, and Glu 333. Three of these amino acids, Glu 331, Glu 107, and Asp 241, were labeled regardless of the presence of substrates, while Glu 333 and Asp 329 were modified to a slight extent only in the free catalytic subunit. Glu 170, Asp 328, and Glu 332 were all very reactive in the apoenzyme but fully protected from modification by EDC in the presence of MgATP and an inhibitor peptide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A peptide affinity inactivator, Ac-Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-(BrAc)Orn-Leu-Gly, was used as a tool to probe for active site residues in the catalytic subunit of bovine cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The peptide inactivated the catalytic subunit in an active site-directed and monophasic manner with a first-order rate constant of 0.03 min-1 and a dissociation constant of 675 microM. Studies with radioactive peptide indicated that approximately one equivalent of peptide was incorporated into each protein molecule. Protein sequencing identified the modified residue as Cys-199. A possible location for Cys-199 within the active site is suggested.

Abstract
The cyclic 3',5'-AMP-binding protein was isolated from the muscle of Ascaris suum and purified to apparent homogeneity. It migrated as a protein with a relative Mr 54,000 on electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. On gel filtration columns it was eluted at a volume corresponding to a protein of Mr greater than 200,000 under conditions which kept the cyclic 3',5'-AMP-binding property intact. The purified catalytic subunit of protein kinase from Ascaris and the C subunit of cyclic 3',5'-AMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine heart were inhibited by the cyclic 3',5'-AMP-binding protein. Gel filtration studies indicated the formation of a stable protein complex between the protein kinase and the cyclic 3',5'-AMP-binding protein from Ascaris.

Abstract
The v-fms oncogene is capable of producing tumors in vivo and transforming cells in culture; in contrast, the c-fms proto-oncogene is nontransforming. In this report we present the complete nucleotide sequence of a feline c-fms cDNA, the progenitor of the v-fms oncogene. Comparison of this sequence with that of v-fms shows that the proteins encoded by these two genes differ by nine amino acid substitutions and the replacement of 50 C-terminal amino acids present in c-fms by 11 unrelated residues in v-fms. Using chimeric fms genes and site-directed mutagenesis, we have determined that the C-terminal modification present in v-fms is sufficient to generate a partially transforming phenotype, but that mutations at amino acid positions 301 and 374 are required (in addition to the C-terminal modification) to generate a fully transforming fms gene.

Abstract
Modification of the type II calmodulin-dependent protein kinase by 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine (FSBA) resulted in a time-dependent inactivation of the enzyme. The reaction followed pseudo-first-order kinetics and showed a nonlinear dependence on reagent concentration. The rate of inactivation was sensitive to Mg2+- and calmodulin-induced conformational changes on the enzyme. However, the enhancing effects of these ligands were not additive; indeed, the kinetic parameters of the Mg2+-stimulated inactivation reaction with FSBA (Kinact = 2.4 mM; kappa max = 0.12 min-1) were almost unaffected by the simultaneous addition of calmodulin (Kinact = 1.5 mM; kappa max = 0.086 min-1). Protection from inactivation by FSBA was provided by Mg2+-ADP which is consistent with modification of the catalytic site. An analysis of the protective effect of Mg2+-ADP in the absence (Kd = 590 microM) and presence (Kd = 68 microM) of calmodulin demonstrated that binding of the modulator protein to the enzyme increases the affinity of the protein kinase for nucleotides. Modification by FSBA resulted in labeling of both Tyr and Lys residues but only labeling of Lys was decreased by Mg2+-ADP which is consistent with the hypothesis that a conserved Lys residue is important in nucleotide binding to the protein kinase. However, the kinetic results of the inactivation reaction suggest that this Lys is not involved in mediating the calmodulin-promoted increase in the affinity of the enzyme for Mg2+-nucleotide complexes.

Abstract
In this report we demonstrate that a 51-kDa outer-envelope membrane protein (P51) is involved in protein translocation into chloroplasts. Furthermore it is shown that phosphorylation of P51 is functionally related to the process of binding and/or importing precursor proteins into chloroplasts. Several lines of evidence have been obtained supporting this suggestion. First, protein import into chloroplasts was inhibited by the membrane-impermeable agent pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, which has been shown to react with a component of the protein-import apparatus. Phosphorylation of envelope membrane polypeptides using [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate resulted in an increased incorporation of 32P radiolabel into a 51-kDa membrane polypeptide (P51). A close correlation between the inhibition of protein import and the increase in the phosphorylation state of P51, both as a function of PLP concentration, was observed. Second, binding of purified precursor proteins to chloroplasts resulted in a specific increase in the phosphorylation state of P51. This effect was not exerted by the mature form of the precursor protein lacking the presequence. Third, internally generated ATP was able to compete specifically with externally added [gamma-32P]ATP for the phosphorylation of P51. Fourth, digestion of the outer-envelope membrane with low amounts of thermolysin resulted in a loss of protein import activity, which was associated with the removal of the phosphorylation site of P51. Phosphorylation of P51 proceeds with an apparent Km (ATP) of about 5 microM, which is much lower than the ATP concentration required for the protein translocation itself. We suggest that two different ATP-dependent processes are involved in protein translocation into chloroplasts. P51 represent presumably a regulatory component of the protein-import apparatus or the protein receptor itself.

Abstract
In recent years, members of the protein kinase family have been discovered at an accelerated pace. Most were first described, not through the traditional biochemical approach of protein purification and enzyme assay, but as putative protein kinase amino acid sequences deduced from the nucleotide sequences of molecularly cloned genes or complementary DNAs. Phylogenetic mapping of the conserved protein kinase catalytic domains can serve as a useful first step in the functional characterization of these newly identified family members.

Abstract
Significant homology was observed between the adenine nucleotide-binding domain in the catalytic subunit of bovine protein kinase A and the carboxy-terminal half of the globular domain of histone H1. A consensus sequence deducible from several previously characterized adenine nucleotide-binding sites is totally conserved in H1. In addition, several putative phosphate binding-sites were observed within the carboxyterminal tail and one in the cluster of basic amino acids in the aminoterminal tail. Both the putative adenine and phosphate-binding sites are well conserved through evolution in various species and in different H1 variants. The present data thus suggest that histone H1 variants may bind to adenine derivatives and imply that they may recognize a specific nucleotide sequence in DNA.

Abstract
Two genes, aphE and orf, coding for putative Mr 29,000 and Mr 31,000, proteins respectively, were identified in the nucleotide sequence of a 2.8 kbp DNA segment cloned from Streptomyces griseus N2-3-11. The aphE gene expressed streptomycin (SM) resistance and a SM phosphorylating enzyme in S. lividans strains. The two genes were found to be in opposite direction and seemed to share a common region of transcription termination. The aphE gene shows significant homology to the aph gene, encoding aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase, APH(3'), from the neomycin-producing S. fradiae. The enzymatic specificity of the aphE gene product was identified to be SM 3"-phosphotransferase, APH(3"). The primary structure of the APH(3") protein is closely related to the members of the APH(3') family of enzymes. However, the APH(3") enzyme did not detectably phosphorylate neomycin or kanamycin. There is only low similarity of the protein to the APH(6) group of SM phosphotransferases. An evolutionary relationship between antibiotic and protein kinases is proposed.

Abstract
A new gene, SCH9, was isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by its ability to complement a cdc25ts mutation. Sequence analysis indicates that it encodes a 90,000-dalton protein with a carboxy-terminal domain homologous to yeast and mammalian cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunits. In addition to suppressing loss of CDC25 function, multicopy plasmids containing SCH9 suppress the growth defects of strains lacking the RAS genes, the CYR1 gene, which encodes adenylyl cyclase, and the TPK genes, which encode the cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunits. Cells lacking SCH9 grow slowly and have a prolonged G1 phase of the cell cycle. This defect is suppressed by activation of the cAMP effector pathway. We propose that SCH9 encodes a protein kinase that is part of a growth control pathway which is at least partially redundant with the cAMP pathway.

Abstract
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been extensively used to identify genes required for photoreceptor cell function. We show that the ninaC gene, originally isolated as a Drosophila visual mutation with an electrophysiological phenotype, encodes two novel cytoskeletal proteins. We identified the DNA sequences encoding the ninaC gene by rescuing the electrophysiological phenotype using P-element-mediated germ line transformation. The ninaC locus is expressed as two extensively overlapping mRNAs encoding proteins of 1135 and 1501 amino acids. Both proteins contain a putative protein kinase domain joined to a domain homologous to the head region of the myosin heavy chain and are spatially restricted to photoreceptor cells.

Abstract
Brain type II Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase is a holoenzyme composed of several copies each of three subunits, alpha (50 kd), beta (60 kd), and beta' (58 kd), in varying proportions. The deduced amino acid sequences of alpha (reported here) and beta are highly similar but not identical. The major difference between them is the deletion from alpha of two short segments (residues 316-339 and 354-392 in beta). cDNAs that appear to encode beta' are identical to beta except for the deletion of a segment encoding residues 378-392. Thus, the structural differences among alpha, beta, and beta' arise primarily from deletions (or insertions) in a variable region lying immediately carboxyl to the protein kinase and calmodulin-binding domains. The alpha and beta subunits are encoded by distinct genes expressed primarily, if not exclusively, in brain. Rather than being encoded by a third gene, beta' may arise by alternative splicing of the beta gene transcript.

Abstract
The mouse PIM-1 gene has been implicated in the evolution of retrovirus-associated mouse lymphomas. We have initiated a study of the human PIM-1 gene because of its potential importance as a human oncogene. We have isolated genomic and cDNA clones for this gene and characterized this locus in detail. The predicted PIM-1 protein is 313 amino acids in length. It has homology to a number of the protein kinases but does not have a transmembrane region. The amino acid corresponding to tyrosine-416 of pp60v-src is a tyrosine (position 198), which is consistent with the hypothesis that PIM-1 is a tyrosine kinase rather than a serine-threonine kinase. The PIM-1 gene was found to have six exons and five introns derived from 5 kb of genomic DNA. The site of transcription initiation was localized by S1 nuclease protection studies which indicated that the mature PIM-1 mRNA was approximately 2.7 kb in length. The promotor of this gene had no TATA or CAAT box but did have multiple GC boxes (CCGCCC) that might bind the Sp1 protein. The PIM-1 gene was expressed in myeloid and B lymphoid cell lines, but not in T lymphoid and nonhemopoietic lines. This initial characterization of PIM-1 will allow us to define its role in normal and malignant hematolymphoid differentiation.

Abstract
We have isolated three genes (TPK1, TPK2, and TPK3) from the yeast S. cerevisiae that encode the catalytic subunits of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Gene disruption experiments demonstrated that no two of the three genes are essential by themselves but at least one TPK gene is required for a cell to grow normally. Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences of the TPK genes indicates conserved and variable domains. The carboxy-terminal 320 amino acid residues have more than 75% homology to each other and more than 50% homology to the bovine catalytic subunit. The amino-terminal regions show no homology to each other and are heterogeneous in length. The TPK1 gene carried on a multicopy plasmid can suppress both a temperature-sensitive ras2 gene and adenylate cyclase gene.
