Abstract
Monocytes encounter basement membranes and interact with laminins while crossing the vascular barrier. It is known that these cells possess ecto-protein kinase activity on their surface. Several proteins of the extracellular matrix can be phosphorylated by ectokinases. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that monocyte ectokinases could phosphorylate laminins and influence their biological properties. In order to test the above hypothesis, we used intact human monocytes and adenosine triphosphate labeled with radioactive phosphate at the third phosphate ([gamma-32P]-ATP) to phosphorylate laminin-1. Autoradiography after sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamyde gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) electrophoresis indicated phosphorylation of laminin-1 on the beta and/or gamma chains. After phosphorylation, phosphoserine could be detected on Western blots by a specific monoclonal antibody. Phosphorylation was not detected when monocytes were pre-treated with trypsin and was inhibited by a specific ecto-protein kinase inhibitor (K252b). Laminin phosphorylation was also inhibited by heparin, a known inhibitor of casein kinase II and by pretreatment of monocytes by a monoclonal anti-casein kinase II antibody. Heparin binding, cell attachment and proliferation, and monocyte migration were enhanced on the phosphorylated laminin-1 as compared to the non-phosphorylated controls. These data indicate that laminin-1 can be phosphorylated by monocyte casein kinase II type ectokinase. This phosphorylation influences important functions of laminin and therefore could provide an additional means for the interaction of monocytes with basement membranes.

Abstract
Actin cytoskeleton disruption in host cells has been demonstrated for PTPases from pathogenic microorganisms. In this work, we analysed whether the secreted acid phosphatase from Entamoeba histolytica has phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity and the possibility that this activity may participate in damaging host cells. The secreted acid phosphatase of E. histolytica, which catalyses p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis at acid pH values, was found to have phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity. The enzymatic properties of phosphotyrosine phosphatase and acid phosphatase were virtually identical and included: Km values of 10 x 10(-4) M, no requirement for divalent cations, and sensitivity to molybdate, vanadate, and tungstate. The phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity caused significant levels of cell rounding and detachment correlating with disruption of the actin stress fibres in HeLa cells. Thus, our data suggest that secreted phosphotyrosine phosphatase could play a cytotoxic role during amoebic infection.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria interacts with a CD14-independent receptor of mouse bone marrow granulocytes (BMC), and triggers in these cells the expression of CD14, an inducible type of LPS receptor (iLpsR). This particular response of BMC to LPS required the activation of protein tyrosine kinase and p38 MAP kinase. The inhibition of the LPS effect by the MEK inhibitor PD-98059 suggested that the ERK pathway was also involved. Unexpectedly, protein kinase C, myosin light chain kinase, cAMP-, cGMP-, and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinases, as well as ecto-protein kinases, were not required for iLpsR expression. However, other yet unidentified serine/threonine protein kinase(s) were implied since the BMC response to LPS was markedly reduced after exposure to three inhibitors of such kinases (K-252a, H-7, and KT-5823). The atypical kinase requirements observed in this study may be due either to a novel signaling LPS receptor complex present in BMC, or to the particular events involved in CD14 biosynthesis.

Abstract
Human platelets express a protein phosphorylation system on their surface. A specific protein kinase C (PKC) antibody, monoclonal antibody (MAb) 1.9, which binds to the catalytic domain of PKC and inhibits its activity, causes the aggregation of intact platelets while inhibiting the phosphorylation of platelet surface proteins. Photoaffinity labeling with 100 nM 8-azido-[alpha(32)P]ATP identified this ecto-PKC as a single surface protein of 43 kDa sensitive to proteolysis by extracellular 0.0005% trypsin. Inhibition of the binding of 8-azido-[alpha(32)P]ATP to the 43-kDa surface protein by MAb 1.9 identified this site as the active domain of ecto-PKC. Covalent binding of the azido-ATP molecule to the 43-kDa surface protein inhibited the phosphorylative activity of the platelet ecto-PKC. Furthermore, PKC pseudosubstrate inhibitory peptides directly induced the aggregation of platelets and inhibited azido-ATP binding to the 43-kDa protein. Platelet aggregation induced by MAb 1.9 and by PKC inhibitory peptides required the presence of fibrinogen and resulted in an increase in the level of intracellular free calcium concentration. This increase in intracellular free calcium concentration induced by MAb 1.9 was found to be dependent on the binding of fibrinogen to activated GPIIb/IIIa integrins, suggesting that MAb 1.9 causes Ca(2+) flux through the fibrinogen receptor complex. We conclude that a decrease in the state of phosphorylation of platelet surface proteins caused by inhibition of ecto-PKC results in membrane rearrangements that can induce the activation of latent fibrinogen receptors, leading to platelet aggregation. Accordingly, the maintenance of a physiological steady state of phosphorylation of proteins on the platelet surface by ecto-PKC activity appears to be one of the homeostatic mechanisms that maintain fibrinogen receptors of circulating platelets in a latent state that cannot bind fibrinogen.

Abstract
An increasing number of studies document the presence of protein kinases facing outwards at the cell surface of a diverse array of cells. These ecto-protein kinases phosphorylate cell-surface proteins and soluble extracellular substrates, and thus could affect many physiological processes involving cell-cell contacts, cellular differentiation and proliferation, ion fluxes and cellular activation. To date, only limited attention has been paid to exploring ecto-protein kinases as possible pharmacological targets. Here, the identification and physiological role of ecto-protein kinases in different biological systems is described; it is suggested that ecto-protein kinases are attractive and novel candidates for pharmacological manipulation under various (patho)physiological conditions.

Abstract
Previously we reported that a phorbol ester, phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu), increased the release of human growth hormone-binding protein (hGH-BP) in IM-9 cells, and that this phorbol ester-enhanced release was mediated by protein kinase Ca (PKCalpha). In the present study, the mechanisms of the phorbol ester-enhanced hGH-BP release were further investigated. Treatment of IM-9 cells with PDBu did not increase hGH-BPs (55-60 kDa) in the intracellular soluble fraction. When the cells were treated with trypsin to remove human growth hormone receptors (hGHRs) on the cell surface after stimulation, no hGH-BPs were detected in the culture supernatants, nor did treatment with bafilomycin A1 or chloroquine affect the PDBu-enhanced hGH-BP release. These results suggest that hGH-BPs released by PDBu stimulation are derived from cell surface hGHRs and not generated within the cells. Protein kinase inhibitors with broad specificities, K-252a and K-252b, inhibited the PDBu-enhanced release with almost the same dose-dependency, although only a trace amount of K-252b was incorporated into IM-9 cells than K-252a, suggesting that K-252b probably inhibits an ecto-kinase extracellularly. PDBu actually enhanced the phosphorylation of several extracellular proteins, and this enhanced phosphorylation was completely inhibited by K-252b treatment. Moreover, the PKCalpha-specific inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide III which inhibits PDBu enhanced hGH-BP release inhibited the PDBu-enhanced phosphorylation of extracellular proteins. On the other hand, the impermeable PKC inhibitor PKC inhibitor peptide 19-31 did not inhibit PDBu-enhanced release, suggesting that the target PKCalpha for PDBu is not present on the extracellular surface. Taken together, these results suggest that, in addition to intracellular PKCalpha, activation of an undefined ecto-kinase may also be involved in the PDBu-enhanced hGH-BP release.

Abstract
Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATPo) has been suggested to play a role in lymphocyte effector functions. Recently, it has been suggested that MgATP2- may be the molecular species which is involved in modulating the lytic interaction between cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) and their target cells. In this study, we provide evidence that ATPo mediates the phosphorylation of extracellular proteins on T-lymphocytes through the action of ectoprotein kinases. The ectophosphorylation is temperature-dependent, supported by Mg2+ and Mn2+, and both ATP and GTP, whereas kinase activity and/or substrates were removed by pretreatment of intact lymphocytes with trypsin. We show the presence of extracellular ATP/GTP-binding sites, indicating the presence of ectoenzymes on intact lymphocytes. The major ectoprotein kinase was identified as a casein kinase II-like protein kinase and could be inhibited by heparin, whereas its activity was enhanced by spermine. The ectoprotein kinase showed remarkable substrate specificity, phosphorylating the serum protein vitronectin, but not fibronectin. In experiments with the cell-impermeable protein kinase inhibitor K-252b, we demonstrate the possible functional importance of ectoprotein kinase in CTL-mediated cytotoxicity, i.e., target cell death was completely blocked by K-252b without affecting intracellular phosphorylation. These results suggest that ectoprotein phosphorylation may possibly be an important event in immunologically relevant cell-cell interactions.

Abstract
Incubation of intact U-937 cells with 1 micron [gamma-32P] ATP resulted in rapid (10 min) incorporation of radioactivity into phosvitin, kemptide and protein kinase C (PKC)-peptide. The amount of incorporation was dependent on substrate type and concentration, and on incubation time. Staurosporine, H-7 and Mg(2+)-exclusion abolished phosphorylation of kemptide and PKC-peptide but not phosvitin. Cyclic AMP and phorbol ester enhanced kemptide and PKC-peptide phosphorylation. Protein kinase inhibitor (PKI) inhibits only kemptide phosphorylation. Cell differentiation enhanced 2-fold the phosphorylation of phosvitin and PKC-peptide without significant effect on kemptide phosphorylation. ATP concentrations sufficient to trigger changes in intracellular Ca2+ were sufficient to support extracellular phosphorylation reactions. The results suggest the presence of at least three ectokinase activities on U-937 cells that may play important roles in regulating membrane associated specific functions of developing and mature monocytes.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of surface proteins by ecto-protein kinase has been proposed to play a role in mechanisms underlying neuronal differentiation and their responsiveness to nerve growth factor (NGF). PC12 clones represent an optimal model for investigating the mode of action of NGF in a homogeneous cell population. In the present study we obtained evidence that PC12 cells possess ecto-protein kinase and characterized the endogenous phosphorylation of its surface protein substrates. PC12 cells maintained in a chemically defined medium exhibited phosphorylation of proteins by [gamma-32P]ATP added to the medium at time points preceding the intracellular phosphorylation of proteins in cells labeled with 32Pi. This activity was abolished by adding apyrase or trypsin to the medium but was not sensitive to addition of an excess of unlabeled Pi. As also expected from ecto-protein kinase activity, PC12 cells catalyzed the phosphorylation of an exogenous protein substrate added to the medium, dephospho-alpha-casein, and this activity competed with the endogenous phosphorylation for extracellular ATP. Based on these criteria, three protein components migrating in sodium dodecyl sulfate gels with apparent molecular weights of 105K, 39K, and 20K were identified as exclusive substrates of ecto-protein kinase in PC12 cells. Of the phosphate incorporated into these proteins from extracellular ATP, 75-87% was found in phosphothreonine. The phosphorylation of the 39K protein by ecto-protein kinase did not require Mg2+, implicating this activity in the previously demonstrated regulation of Ca(2+)-dependent, high-affinity norepinephrine uptake in PC12 cells by extracellular ATP. The protein kinase inhibitor K-252a inhibited both intra- and extracellular protein phosphorylation in intact PC12 cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Extracellular protein kinase activity is demonstrated in intact cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells and is characterised. When cells were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP (1 microM) a major cell surface protein, corresponding to 115 kDa, and at least four serum proteins (19, 21, 55 and 126 kDa) became phosphorylated. Protein kinase activity is released by intact endothelial cells, which is not due to cell damage, as judged by various cell viability parameters (e.g., release of marker enzymes, trypan blue exclusion). The activity of the protein kinase released amounted to 170 fmol/min per mg endothelial cell protein with phosvitin as substrate, which represents 9% of the total cellular phosvitin protein kinase activity. Repetitive incubation of endothelial cells substantially decreased phosvitin-kinase release. Exo-protein kinase is not influenced by cAMP and cGMP but is effectively inhibited by heparin (EC50, 0.3 microgram/ml). The findings clearly demonstrate: (1) exo-protein kinase is released by intact porcine aortic endothelial cells; (2) substrates of this enzyme are endothelial surface proteins and serum proteins.

Abstract
We have characterized a novel ecto-protein kinase activity and a novel ecto-protein phosphatase activity on the membrane surface of human platelets. Washed intact platelets, when incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP in Tyrode's buffer, showed the phosphorylation of a membrane surface protein migrating with an apparent molecular mass of 42 kDa on 5-15% SDS polyacrylamide gradient gels. The 42 kDa protein could be further resolved on 15% SDS gels into two proteins of 39 kDa and 42 kDa. In this gel system, it was found that the 39 kDa protein became rapidly phosphorylated and dephosphorylated, whereas the 42 kDa protein was phosphorylated and dephosphorylated at a much slower rate. NaF inhibited the dephosphorylation of these proteins indicating the involvement of an ecto-protein phosphatase. The platelet membrane ecto-protein kinase responsible for the phosphorylation of both of these proteins was identified as a serine kinase and showed dependency on divalent cations Mg2+ or Mn2+ ions. Ca2+ ions potentiated the Mg(2+)-dependent ecto-protein kinase activity. The ecto-protein kinase rapidly phosphorylated histone and casein added exogenously to the extracellular medium of intact platelets. Following activation of platelets by alpha-thrombin, the incorporation of [32P]phosphate from exogenously added [gamma-32P]ATP by endogenous protein substrates was reduced by 90%, suggesting a role of the ecto-protein kinase system in the regulation of platelet function. The results presented here demonstrate that both protein kinase and protein phosphatase activities reside on the membrane surface of human platelets. These activities are capable of rapidly phosphorylating and dephosphorylating specific surface platelet membrane proteins which may play important roles in early events of platelet activation and secretion.

Abstract
The reversible phosphorylation of intracellular proteins has been established as a key regulatory mechanism in numerous cellular functions. In this process the enzyme protein kinase transfers the gamma-phosphate of ATP to form a covalent bond with specific proteins. Another line of investigation has demonstrated that extracellular ATP is a potent physiological regulator in various cellular systems. Although many of the physiological effects of extracellular ATP were shown to be mediated by the action of purinergic receptors, it is possible that extracellular protein phosphorylation systems are also implicated in the mechanisms underlying the responsiveness of cells to extracellular ATP. The identification of ectoprotein kinase at the surface of various cells has provided evidence for the existence of such mechanisms, and revealed how the regulatory powers of protein phosphorylation systems can extend to the extracellular environment. The versatile roles that extracellular protein phosphorylation activity may play in the regulation of cellular functions is underscored by the presence of multiple protein substrates for this activity at the cell surface. Each such surface phosphoprotein may have a unique function. FIGURE 5 depicts the hypothetical relationships between the extracellular ATP secreted by exocytosis and the specific physiological function of these secreting neurons. Based on findings described in this article, we propose that extracellular ATP can be utilized by two types of extracellular protein kinase: a membrane-bound ectoprotein kinase, and a soluble exoprotein kinase. The exoprotein kinase can originate by detachment of an ectokinase from the cell surface, or be an intravesicular protein that is coreleased with ATP by exocytosis from stimulated cells. Phosphorylation of specific proteins at the surface of a secreting cell may have an important feedback control over its own presynaptic activity. The ectoprotein kinase could exert this feedback regulation by phosphorylating ion channels involved in secretion, and/or by phosphorylating transporters that carry out the reuptake of released transmitter molecules. Phosphorylation of receptors can regulate intercellular communication, and phosphorylation of integrins could regulate the interaction of the cell surface with components of the extracellular matrix. Although most of the relationships suggested in FIGURE 5 are still hypothetical, it should be possible to test them experimentally in a direct manner by raising antibodies against the phosphorylated sites of specific surface phosphoproteins. The ability of such antibodies to inhibit protein phosphorylation without penetrating the cells provides an experimental paradigm for the direct testing of potential physiological function of ecto- and exoprotein kinase activities in a variety of cells.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP in its tetra-anionic form (ATP4-) induces ion fluxes and membrane depolarization in the mouse macrophage-like cell line J774.2 and in resident mouse macrophages. We analyzed the effects of extracellular ATP4- by both patch-clamp and intracellular microelectrode techniques. Whole-cell patch-configuration membrane potential measurements on J774.2 cells revealed that ATP4- -induced depolarization occurred within 40 ms of pulsed application of ATP and was completely reversible. The depolarizations were accompanied by a dramatic increase in membrane conductance and showed no sign of adaptation to ATP over a period of 30 min. At 5 mM total ATP (ATPt) the whole-cell conductance was approximately 10 nS, and an upper limit of 20 pS for a single-channel conductance has been established. The reversal potential associated with the ATP-induced depolarization at asymmetric K+, Na+, Ca2+, and Cl- concentrations across the membrane was 0 mV. In patch-clamped cells depolarization was complete at 20 microM ATP4-, and repolarization from full depolarization occurred in approximately 5 s. In contrast, in intact cells measured by microelectrode impalement, complete depolarization occurred at approximately 2 mM ATP4- and repolarization was much slower (approximately 100 min). These findings indicate that the changes in intracellular ionic composition that occur after ATP treatment affect the rate of cell repolarization. At lower concentrations of ATP, potassium conductances modulated the depolarizing effect of ATP. ATP also depolarized mouse peritoneal macrophages, but a variant cell line (ATPR B2), derived from J774.2 cells by prolonged exposure to ATP, was insensitive to ATP. Our results provide a membrane electrophysiological description and analysis of a large nonselective plasma membrane conductance of macrophages induced by extracellular ATP.

Abstract
External ATP causes a great increase in the passive permeability of the plasma membrane for phosphorylated metabolites and other small molecules in cultured mammalian cells. We previously demonstrated that in CHO-K1 cells an ATP-dependent permeability change was induced in the presence of a mitochondrial inhibitor (KCN or rotenone), a cytoskeleton-attacking agent (vinblastine) and a calmodulin antagonist (trifluoperazine). These permeability changes were reversible but long exposure, for 30-60 min, to ATP together with a mitochondrial inhibitor significantly reduced the cell viability of the treated cells. Since this cell lysis was shown to be due to the ATP-dependent permeability change, we could isolate several clones resistant to the action of the external ATP from CHO-K1 cells after repeated treatment with ATP and rotenone. In 9.1 cells, one of the isolated clones, little or no ATP-dependent permeability change was observed in the presence of either a mitochondrial inhibitor, vinblastine or trifluoperazine. This CHO variant could be specifically resistant as to the change in membrane permeability induced by external ATP, since the permeabilities for the 2-deoxyglucose and drugs used in the present studies were similar to those in the case of the parent cells. These results suggest that a specific defect or alteration in the plasma membrane is involved in the ATP-dependent permeability change. It is also reported that Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity was found on the cell surface of both CHO-K1 and 9.1 cells, and this activity was shown to be not involved in the permeability change controlled by external ATP.

Abstract
Leishmania donovani promastigotes contain intense tartrate-resistant cell surface acid phosphatase (ACP1) which blocks superoxide anion production by activated human neutrophils [A.T. Remaley et al. (1984) J. Biol. Chem, 259, 11173-11175]. An extensively purified preparation of ACP1 dephosphorylates several phosphoproteins which are phosphorylated at serine residues; these include: pyruvate kinase (Km 1.6 microM; Vmax 71.4 U (mg protein)-1), phosphorylase kinase (Km 0.076 microM; Vmax 5.4 U (mg protein)-1) and histones (Km 4.86 microM; Vmax 2.2 U (mg protein)-1). However, the specific activity of the leishmanial phosphatase on these phosphoproteins is very low as compared to other phosphoprotein phosphatases. The phosphatase activity of ACP1 was also low on phosphohistone phosphorylated at tyrosine residues. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate (PIP2) and inositoltriphosphate (IP3) were also tested as ACP1 substrates. PIP2 was hydrolyzed rapidly by ACP1. The rate of hydrolysis of PIP2 was higher at pH 6.8 (Km 2.35 microM; Vmax 107 X 10(3) U (mg protein)-1) than at pH 5.5 (Km 4.16 microM; Vmax 71 X 10(3) U (mg protein)-1). 32P-labeled IP3 was also a substrate for ACP1; the hydrolysis products consisted of a mixture of inositoldiphosphate and inositolmonophosphate. ACP1 and ten other phosphatases were tested for their ability to dephosphorylate proteins and to inhibit O2- production by stimulated human neutrophils. There was no correlation between the protein phosphatase activity of the acid- and alkaline phosphatases and their ability to block neutrophil O2- production. The results indicate that ACP1 probably blocks the production of reduced oxygen intermediates by a mechanism that does not involve dephosphorylation of phosphoproteins; however, the possibility that the parasite's phosphatase affects phagocyte metabolism by degrading PIP2 or IP3 should be considered.

Abstract
We show that a purified preparation of the prominent tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (E.C.3.1.3.2), isolated from the external surface of the intracellular parasite Leishmania donovani (promastigote form), inhibits toxic oxidative metabolite production of neutrophils. Preincubation of a neutrophil suspension (2.5 X 10(6) cells/ml) for 15 min at 37 C with 250 units (1 unit equals 1 nmole of 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate cleaved per hr at pH 5.5) of the acid phosphatase in Krebs-Ringer phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) decreased O2 consumption, O2- production, and H2O2 production of N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe)-stimulated neutrophils to 15-25% of control values. The acid phosphatase also affected concanavalin A-stimulated O2-production by neutrophils, but had no effect on the rate of phorbol myristic acetate-stimulated O2- production, chemotactic peptide binding, degranulation, or membrane depolarization. Addition of an acid phosphatase inhibitor (Complex E; (NH4)6[P2Mo18O62] X 9H2O) to suspensions of opsonized promastigotes and neutrophils resulted in a threefold or greater enhancement of O2- production. These results suggest a possible pathophysiologic role for the acid phosphatase of L. donovani promastigotes.
