Abstract
In mammalian brain, tau, glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta), and 14-3-3, a phosphoserine-binding protein, are parts of a multiprotein tau phosphorylation complex. Within the complex, 14-3-3 simultaneously binds to tau and GSK3beta (Agarwal-Mawal, A., Qureshi, H. Y., Cafferty, P. W., Yuan, Z., Han, D., Lin, R., and Paudel, H. K. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 12722-12728). The molecular mechanism by which 14-3-3 connects GSK3beta to tau within the complex is not clear. In this study, we find that GSK3beta within the tau phosphorylation complex is phosphorylated on Ser(9). From extracts of rat brain and rat primary cultured neurons, Ser(9)-phosphorylated GSK3beta precipitates with glutathione-agarose beads coated with glutathione S-transferase-14-3-3. Similarly, from rat brain extract, Ser(9)-phosphorylated GSK3beta co-immunoprecipitates with tau. In vitro, 14-3-3 binds to GSK3beta only when the kinase is phosphorylated on Ser(9). In transfected HEK-293 cells, 14-3-3 binds to Ser(9)-phosphorylated GSK3beta and does not bind to GSK3beta (S9A). Tau, on the other hand, binds to both GSK3beta (WT) and GSK3beta (S9A). Moreover, 14-3-3 enhances the binding of tau with Ser(9)-phosphorylated GSK3beta by approximately 3-fold but not with GSK3beta (S9A). Similarly, 14-3-3 stimulates phosphorylation of tau by Ser(9)-phosphorylated GSK3beta but not by GSK3beta (S9A). In transfected HEK-293 cells, Ser(9) phosphorylation suppresses GSK3beta-catalyzed tau phosphorylation in the absence of 14-3-3. In the presence of 14-3-3, however, Ser(9)-phosphorylated GSK3beta remains active and phosphorylates tau. Our data indicate that within the tau phosphorylation complex, 14-3-3 connects Ser(9)-phosphorylated GSK3beta to tau and Ser(9)-phosphorylated GSK3beta phosphorylates tau.

Abstract
Wound keratinocytes form long cellular extensions that facilitate their migration from the wound edge into provisional matrix. We have previously shown that similar extensions can be induced by a long-term exposure to EGF or rapidly by staurosporine in cultured cells. This morphological change depends on the activity of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). Here, we have characterized the cytoskeletal changes involved in formation of these extended lamellipodia (E-lam) in human HaCaT keratinocytes. E-lams contained actin filaments, stable microtubules and keratin intermediate filaments. E-lam formation was prevented by cytochalasin D, colchicine and low concentrations of taxol and nocodazole, suggesting that actin and microtubule organization and dynamics are essential for E-lam formation. Staurosporine induced recruitment of filamentous actin (F-actin), cortactin, filamin, Arp2/3 complex, Rac1 GTPase and phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) to lamellipodia. Treatment of cells with the GSK-3 inhibitors SB-415286 and LiCl(2) inhibited E-lam formation and prevented the accumulation of Rac1 and Arp2/3 complex at lamellipodia. The formation of E-lams was dependent on fibronectin-binding integrins and normally regulated Rac1, and expression of either dominant-negative or constitutively active forms of Rac1 prevented E-lam formation. Overexpression of either RhoA or Cdc42 GTPases suppressed E-lam formation. We conclude that extended lamellipodia formation in keratinocytes requires actin and tubulin assembly at the leading edge, and this process is regulated by Rac1 downstream of GSK-3.

Abstract
The modulation of tau phosphorylation and localization in response to insulin-like growth factor-1 or insulin was examined in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 treatment resulted in a rapid and transient increase in tau phosphorylation at specific epitopes. These effects were completely inhibited by lithium, revealing that the insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 induced changes in tau phosphorylation were mediated by glycogen synthase kinase-3beta. In addition, the increase in tau phosphorylation directly correlated with a transient dissociation of tau from the cytoskeleton, indicating that insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 treatment resulted in a change in tau localization. Using immunocytochemistry, it was also demonstrated that treatment of neurons with insulin-like growth factor-1 for 3 min resulted in a redistribution of tau to the growth cone and the distal segment of the axons. Further, insulin-like growth factor-1 treatment resulted in an increased immunoreactivity with the phospho-dependent antibody AT8 in the same areas of the axons. Thus, the phosphorylation state and distribution of tau can be modulated by insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 signaling pathways involving glycogen synthase kinase-3beta. We propose that by transiently increasing tau phosphorylation, insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 may contribute to the reorganization of the cytoskeleton necessary for the development and growth of the neurites.

Abstract
The modulation of tau phosphorylation in response to insulin was examined in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Insulin treatment resulted in a transient increase in tau phosphorylation followed by a decrease in tau phosphorylation that correlated directly with a sequential activation and deactivation of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta). The insulin-induced increase in tau phosphorylation and concurrent activation of GSK-3beta was rapid (<2 min) and transient, and was associated with increased tyrosine phosphorylation of GSK-3beta. The increase in GSK-3beta tyrosine phosphorylation corresponded directly to an increase in the association of Fyn tyrosine kinase with GSK-3beta, and Fyn immunoprecipitated from cells treated with insulin for 1 min phosphorylated GSK-3beta to a significantly greater extent than Fyn immunoprecipitated from control cells. Subsequent to the increase in GSK-3beta activation and tau phosphorylation, treatment of cells with insulin for 60 min resulted in a dephosphorylation of tau and a decrease in GSK-3beta activity. Thus, insulin rapidly and transiently activated GSK-3beta and modulated tau phosphorylation, alterations that may contribute to neuronal plasticity.

Abstract
The ATP.Mg-dependent type 1 protein phosphatase is inactive as isolated but can be activated in several different ways. In this report, we show that the phosphatase can also be activated by the Fe2+/ascorbate system. Activation of the phosphatase requires both Fe2+ ion and ascorbate and the level of activation is dependent on the concentrations of Fe2+ ion and ascorbate. In the presence of 20 mM ascorbate, the Fe2+ ion concentrations required for half-maximal and maximal activation are about 0.3 and 3 mM, respectively. Several common divalent metal ions, including CO2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ ions, cannot cooperate with ascorbate to activate the phosphatase, and SH-containing reducing agents such as 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol cannot cooperate with Fe2+ ion to activate the phosphatase, indicating that activation of the phosphatase by the Fe2+/ascorbate system is a specific process. Moreover, H2O2, a strong oxidizer, could significantly diminish the phosphatase activation by the Fe2+/ascorbate system, suggesting that reduction mechanism other than SH-SS interchange is a prerequisite for the Fe2+/ascorbate-mediated phosphatase activation. Taken together, the present study provides initial evidence for a new mode of type 1 protein phosphatase activation mechanism.

Abstract
Inhibitor-2 (I-2) is the regulatory subunit of the cytosolic ATP-Mg-dependent form of type 1 serine/threonine protein phosphatase and its phosphorylation at Thr-72 by glycogen synthase kinase-3 results in phosphatase activation. Activation of cytosolic type 1 phosphatase has been observed in cells treated with growth factors. Reported here is the phosphorylation and activation of the ATP-Mg-dependent phosphatase by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Recombinant I-2 was phosphorylated by activated MAPK to an extent (approximately 0.3 mol of phosphate/mol of polypeptide) similar to that reported for phosphorylation by the alpha isoform of glycogen synthase kinase-3. The phosphorylation of I-2 by MAPK was exclusively at Thr-72, the site involved in the activation of phosphatase. Incubation of MAPK with purified ATP-Mg-dependent phosphatase resulted in phosphorylation of the I-2 component and activation of the phosphatase. Ribosomal S6 protein kinase II (p90rsk) was also able to phosphorylate the recombinant I-2; however, this phosphorylation occurred on serines and had no effect on phosphatase activation. Our data may explain growth factor-induced activation of the ATP-Mg-dependent phosphatase and suggest that MAPK may of cytosolic type 1 phosphatase in response to insulin and/or other growth factors.

Abstract
Although protein kinase FA/GSK-3 alpha (an activating factor of ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase) has been established as a cytosolic enzyme in mammalian nonnervous tissues involved in the metabolic regulation, immunological and biochemical studies on tissue and subcellular distributions demonstrate that kinase FA/GSK-3 alpha is in fact a membrane-associated enzyme and most abundantly exists in brain particulate membrane fractions depending on the tissue homogenization conditions. For instance, when brain was homogenized in Polytron without 0.32 M sucrose, approximately 40% of the total FA/GSK-3 alpha was found in the cytosol. However, when brain was homogenized in buffer containing 0.32 M sucrose and in a glass homogenizer with Teflon pestle, more than 80% of the total FA/GSK-3 alpha was found associated with the particulate membrane fractions. By manipulating these findings, we have developed a simplified procedure for purification of homogeneous kinase FA/GSK-3 alpha in high recovery and in a substantial amount from brain tissue. The data explain why kinase FA/GSK-3 alpha cannot be isolated in a reasonable amount from most mammalian tissues for the past years. The specific pure antibody that can specifically recognize kinase FA/GSK-3 alpha from crude tissue extracts together with the high quantity purification of the enzyme as presented in this report provides an initial key step for studies on the role of kinase FA/GSK-3 alpha in the regulation of brain functions especially in the brain particulate membrane fractions.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant cells can manifest an increase in epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor number along with increased P-glycoprotein (Pgp) synthesis. An interrelationship of the two membrane proteins in actinomycin D-resistant Chinese hamster lung cells (DC-3F/AD X) in terms of the effect of EGF on Pgp phosphorylation was investigated. EGF was not a mitogen for the resistant cells, nor was it mitogenic for DC-3F, the parental drug-sensitive line. Brief treatment of DC-3F/AD X cells with EGF resulted in a 30-50% decrease in the level of Pgp phosphorylation, and treatment of the cells with okadaic acid, a specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases-1 and -2A (PP1 and 2A), increased Pgp phosphorylation. Okadaic acid also increased phosphorylation of Pgp in plasma membranes isolated from DC-3F/AD X cells by 30-40%. Protein phosphatase activity in extracts of cells grown in EGF-containing medium was greater by 30% than that of cells grown in standard medium, and okadaic acid inhibited the increases. The results suggested that EGF activated PP1 and PP2A in DC-3F/AD X cells and that Pgp was a substrate for the phosphatases. The properties of Pgp may be modulated by the signalling system transduced by ligand-activated EGF receptor.

Abstract
Mg-ATP-dependent protein phosphatase activating factor [kinase FA/glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3)] has been identified in highly purified clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) isolated from pig brain. Kinase FA was found to exist in an inactive state but can be activated by 1% Triton X-100 or 1 M Tris-HCl extraction in brain CCVs. Activation of kinase FA in CCVs is due to disassociation of the kinase from CCVs as demonstrated on sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation and Sepharose CL-4B gel filtration. Using purified brain CCVs as substrates, kinase FA enhanced the endogenous phosphorylation of assembly protein complexes in the molecular weight range of 100,000-130,000 severalfold, as demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. Comparisons with well-defined brain CCV-associated endogenous protein kinases such as pp50 kinase/AP50 and casein kinase 2 provide evidence that kinase FA/GSK-3 represents a third potent and unique CCV-associated protein kinase distinctly different from the previously described CCV protein kinases, suggesting the possible involvement of kinase FA in the regulation of CCV functions in the brain. The results also support the notion that protein kinase FA is involved in cell surface signal transduction in the CNS.

Abstract
The ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase activating factor (FA) has been identified and purified to near homogeneity from brain. In this report, as evidenced on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography, factor FA has further been identified as a cAMP and Ca(2+)-independent brain kinase that could phosphorylate synapsin I, a neuronal protein that coats synaptic vesicles, binds to cytoskeleton, and is believed to be involved in the modulation of neurotransmission. Kinetic study further indicated that factor FA could phosphorylate synapsin I with a low Km value of about 2 microM and with a molar ratio of 1 mol of phosphate per mole of protein. Peptide mapping analysis revealed that factor FA specifically phosphorylated the tail region of synapsin I but on a unique site distinct from those phosphorylated by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the two well-established synapsin I kinases. Functional study further revealed that factor FA could phosphorylate this unique specific site on the tail region of synapsin I and thereby inhibit cross-linking of synapsin I with microtubules. The results further suggest the possible involvement of factor FA as a synapsin I kinase in the regulation of axonal transport process of synaptic vesicles via the promotion of vesicles motility during neurotransmission.

Abstract
About an eightfold increase in protamine kinase activity was detected following extraction of highly purified microsomes from bovine kidney with 1% Triton X-100. Relative to the soluble fraction, the microsomes contained about 30% protamine kinase activity. The microsomal protamine kinase was purified to apparent homogeneity. The purified enzyme exhibited an apparent M(r) approximately 45,000 as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by gel permeation chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. Relative to protamine, the purified kinase exhibited about 100% activity with the synthetic peptide RRLSSLRA and about 5, 8, and less than 0.1% activity with casein, histone H2B, and histone H1, respectively. The purified kinase phosphorylated several 40 S ribosome polypeptides. One of these polypeptides was identified as ribosomal protein S6 by N-terminal sequencing. About 2.5 mol of phosphoryl groups was incorporated per mole of ribosomal protein S6 following incubation of the 40 S ribosomes with the purified kinase. Following incubation with protein phosphatase 2A2, purified preparations of the protamine kinase were inactivated. These properties were identical to those of purified preparations of a protamine kinase from extracts of bovine kidney cytosol (Z. Damuni, G.D. Amick, and T.R. Sneed, 1989, J. Biol. Chem. 264, 6412-6418). Near identical peptide patterns were obtained following incubation of purified preparations of the microsomal and cytosolic protamine kinases with Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase. The results indicate that a form of the cytosolic protamine kinase is present in microsomes.

Abstract
Type 1 protein phosphatases (PP-1) comprise a group of widely distributed enzymes that specifically dephosphorylate serine and threonine residues of certain phosphoproteins. They all contain an isoform of the same catalytic subunit, which has an extremely conserved primary structure. One of the properties of PP-1 that allows one to distinguish them from other serine/threonine protein phosphatases is their sensitivity to inhibition by two proteins, termed inhibitor 1 and inhibitor 2, or modulator. The latter protein can also form a 1:1 complex with the catalytic subunit that slowly inactivates upon incubation. This complex is reactivated in vitro by incubation with MgATP and protein kinase FA/GSK-3. In the cell the type 1 catalytic subunit is associated with noncatalytic subunits that determine the activity, the substrate specificity, and the subcellular location of the phosphatase. PP-1 plays an essential role in glycogen metabolism, calcium transport, muscle contraction, intracellular transport, protein synthesis, and cell division. The activity of PP-1 is regulated by hormones like insulin, glucagon, alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists, glucocorticoids, and thyroid hormones.

Abstract
Purified cdc2 or cdc2 obtained from HeLa cells in association with p13suc1 activate inactive type-1 protein phosphatase (PP1) (catalytic subunit.inhibitor-2 complex, purified from skeletal muscle). Likewise in the case of PP1 activation by FA/GSK3, activation by cdc2 is accompanied by phosphorylation of inhibitor-2 (I2) and free I2 can be phosphorylated as well. Correlation between PP1 activation and I2 phosphorylation is suggested by the fact that both activation and phosphorylation (a) increase in parallel during incubation with cdc2, (b) decrease in parallel upon subsequent cdc2 inhibition by EDTA, and (c) are inhibited by the cdc2 inhibitor 5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole riboside. cdc2 also phosphorylates the catalytic subunit of PP1, whether in the complex with I2 or as free molecule. The activation of PP1 by cdc2 and by FA/GSK3 is compared.

Abstract
The ATP.Mg-dependent type-1 protein phosphatase activating factor (FA) was identified as a protein kinase that could phosphorylate synapsin I, a neuronal protein that coats synaptic vesicles, binds to cytoskeleton and is believed to be involved in the modulation of neurotransmission. More importantly, more than 90% of the phosphates in 32P-synapsin I phosphorylated by FA could be removed by the activated ATP.Mg-dependent type-1 protein phosphatase and the synapsin I phosphatase activity was found to be strictly FA-dependent. Functional study further revealed that as a synapsin I kinase, factor FA could phosphorylate synapsin I and thereby inhibits crosslinking of synapsin I with tubulin, while as a synapsin I phosphatase activator, FA could promote the crosslinking copolymerization of synapsin I with tubulin. Taken together, the results provide initial evidence that a cyclic modulation of the crosslinking copolymerization of synapsin I with brain microtubules can be controlled by factor FA, representing an efficient cyclic cascade control mechanism for the regulation of axonal transport process during neurotransmission.

Abstract
I have attempted here to outline the basic biochemical knowledge that we have now secured on the EGF family of proteins. In the future we will learn much more about the differential role of EGF versus TGF-alpha, about the physiological significance of amphiregulin, the newest member of this family, and about the roles of TGF-alpha and amphiregulin in cancer. Many questions remain. What is the importance of these factors in embryogenesis and fetal development? Is there an involvement of the EGF-like domains of extracellular proteins in cell-to-extracellular-matrix interactions? Do these extracellular matrix EGF-like entities function in a similar manner to fibroblast growth factor in cell growth and in mediating the relationship of cells to the extracellular matrix? What is the significance of cell membrane-bound forms of EGF and TGF-alpha as potential cell-to-cell contact regulators? What is the role of the viral EGF-like proteins in the viral infective and transforming process? These and other questions will be addressed in the next decade. The key question has already been well stated: 'what is the normal physiological role of EGF during development and homeostasis? The answers to these and a host of other questions must be found before we can fully comprehend this important regulatory system' (Cohen, 1987).

The catalytic subunit of type-1 protein phosphatase (PP1) was phosphorylated by the tyrosine kinase v-abl as follows: (i) cytosolic PP1 was phosphorylated more (0.73 mol/mol) than PP1 obtained from the glycogen particles (0.076 mol/mol), while free catalytic subunit isolated in the active or inactive form from cytosolic PP1 was phosphorylated even less and catalytic subunit complexed with inhibitor-2 was not phosphorylated; (ii) phosphorylation stoichiometry was dependent on the concentration of PP1 and 3 h incubation at 30 degrees C was required for maximal phosphorylation; (iii) phosphorylation was on a tyrosine residue located in the C-terminal region of PP1 which is lost during proteolysis; (iv) phosphorylation did not affect enzyme activity but allowed conversion from the active to the inactive form upon incubation with inhibitor-2 of a PP1 form that in its dephospho-form did not convert.

Abstract
The ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase activating factor (protein kinase FA) was identified to exist in bovine retina. Furthermore, rhodopsin, the visual light pigment associated with rod outer segments in retina, could be well phosphorylated by kinase FA to about 0.9 mol of phosphates per mol of protein. Moreover, more than 90% of the phosphates in [32P]-rhodopsin could be completely removed by ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase and the rhodopsin phosphatase activity was strictly kinase FA-dependent. Taken together, the results provide initial evidence that a cyclic phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of rhodopsin can be controlled by the retina-associated protein kinase FA, representing an efficient cyclic cascade mechanism possibly involved in the rapid regulation of rhodopsin function in retina.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates protein phosphatase-1 and FA, assayed as phosphatase-1 activator, in 3T3-L1 cells. Since other kinases, such as casein kinase-II may also contribute to such FA activity, we assayed casein kinase-II and FA as peptide kinase on extracts from 3T3-L1 cells that had been exposed to insulin for various times. Under such conditions FA, assayed as phosphatase-1 activator, was stimulated 2-3-fold within 1-2 min. Casein kinase-II was stimulated about 2-fold but at a slightly later time (2-3 min) than FA, making it unlikely that casein kinase-II contributes to FA stimulation. Insulin slightly stimulated also the kinase activity of FA towards a synthetic peptide at 2 min, thus confirming the FA activation seen when FA was assayed as activator of phosphatase-1.

Abstract
Data emerging from a number of different systems indicate that protein phosphatases are highly regulated and potentially responsive to changes in the levels of intracellular second messengers produced by extracellular stimulation. They may therefore be involved in the regulation of many cell functions. The protein phosphatases in the nervous system have not been well studied. However, a number of neuronal-specific regulators (such as DARPP-32 and G-substrate) exist, and brain protein phosphatases appear to have particularly low specific activity, suggesting that neuronal protein phosphatases possess considerable and unique potential for regulation. Several early events following depolarization or receptor activation appear to involve specific dephosphorylations, indicating that regulation of protein phosphatase activity is important for the control of many neuronal functions. This article reviews the current literature concerning the identification, regulation, and function of serine/threonine protein phosphatases in the brain, with particular emphasis on the regulation of the major protein phosphatases, PP1 and PP2A, and their potential roles in modulating neurotransmitter release and postsynaptic responses.

Abstract
The activating factor of ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase (FA) has been identified in brain microtubules. When using purified MAP-2 (microtubule associated protein 2) and tau proteins as substrates, FA could phosphorylate MAP-2 to 16 moles of phosphates per mole of protein with a Km value of 0.4 microM, and tau proteins to 4 moles of phosphates per mole of proteins with a Km value of about 3 microM. When using microtubules as substrates, FA could enhance many-fold the endogenous phosphorylation of many microtubule-associated proteins including MAP-2, tau proteins, and several low-molecular-weight MAPs. In contrast to other reported MAP kinases, such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase and Ca+2/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, the FA-catalyzed phosphorylation of tau proteins could cause an electrophoretic mobility shift on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting that a dramatic conformational change of tau proteins was produced by FA. Peptide mapping analysis of the phosphopeptides derived from SV8 protease digestion revealed that FA could phosphorylate MAP-2 and tau proteins on at least four specific sites distinctly different from those phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent and Ca+2/phospholipid-dependent MAP kinases. Quantitative analysis further indicated that approximately 19% of the total endogenous kinase activity in brain microtubules was due to FA. Taken together, the results provide initial evidence that the ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase activating factor (FA) is a potent and unique MAP kinase, and may represent one of the major factors involved in phosphorylation of brain microtubules.

Abstract
A highly purified preparation of phosphatase-activating kinase (Fa) from rabbit skeletal muscle phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6. The two activities copurified on DEAE-Sephadex, CM-Sephadex, and phosphocellulose chromatography and upon further chromatography on Sephacryl S-300 and FPLC Mono-S and Mono-Q columns. On the latter column, two separate peaks of Fa activity were observed when it was developed in Tris buffer as opposed to beta-glycerophosphate. S6 kinase activity was obtained only with the Fa which adhered to the resin. The Mr of the Fa and S6 activities was determined to be 83,200 by gel permeation on a Sephacryl S-300 column. The Fa preparation phosphorylated serine residues on S6; two tryptic phosphopeptides, A and C, were identified by two-dimensional phosphopeptide analysis. The enzyme also showed good activity toward initiation factor eIF-4B. Based on specificity toward ribosomal proteins and initiation factors, the Fa and a mitogen-stimulated S6 kinase purified from insulin-stimulated 3T3-L1 cells were similar. These results suggest that a form of Fa and an insulin-stimulated S6 kinase may be related or closely associated.

Abstract
The ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase activating factor (protein kinase FA) has been identified to exist in neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid 108-15 cells (NG108-15 cells). More importantly, when NG cells were induced to differentiate with N6, O2'-dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (dibutyryl cAMP), the cellular activity of kinase FA was found to increase dramatically. Time course study further revealed that induction of differentiation in NG cells by dibutyryl cAMP treatment increased the FA activity to over 3 times the levels found in undifferentiated cells and in a linear day-dependent manner, indicating that the FA activity level is correlated with the state of differentiation of NG108-15 cells. This is the first report providing initial evidence that protein kinase FA (a transmembrane signal of insulin) is involved in the induction of neuronal cell differentiation.

Abstract
In responsive cells, all known effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha), and related proteins are mediated through binding to a specific membrane receptor. The EGF/TGF alpha receptor is a single-chain glycoprotein (1186 amino acids) containing three functional domains: 1) an extracellular, glycosylated portion that binds EGF; 2) a small transmembrane portion; and 3) a cytoplasmic portion that has the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity and multiple sites that can be phosphorylated. When EGF binds to the receptor its intrinsic tyrosine kinase is activated, resulting in increased phosphorylation of intracellular tyrosine residues both on the receptor (autophosphorylation sites) and on exogenous proteins involved in regulating cellular functions. Site-specific mutagenesis has established that the tyrosine-kinase activity of the receptor is essential for nearly all of the effects of EGF including its ability to elevate cellular calcium levels and to induce DNA synthesis. The binding of EGF and the kinase activity of the receptor are both regulated by the phosphorylation of the receptor on specific threonine/serine sites catalyzed by other protein kinases. Specific lipids such as sphingosine also can regulate kinase activity. Tyrosine-specific phosphoprotein phosphatases and perhaps proteases must be important in terminating the cellular response to EGF. In human skin, the response to EGF/TGF alpha is determined by the location and number of receptors and is modulated by processes affecting the binding affinity, internalization, and tyrosine-kinase activity of the receptor. Specific patterns of EGF binding and of immunoreactive receptors characterize normal growth and differentiation and these are altered during the abnormal growth and differentiation associated with diseases such as psoriasis, viral infections, neoplasms, and paraneoplastic syndromes. It is not clear if the altered patterns reflect the consequence of the disease or are the cause of the disease. As a cause, the EGF receptor may have undetected point mutations that result in internalization and degradation defects, aberrant phosphorylation, and dephosphorylation or abnormal glycosylation.

Abstract
Protein kinase FA (an activating factor of ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase) has been characterized to exist in two forms in the purified brain myelin. One form of kinase FA is spontaneously active and trypsin-labile, whereas the other form of kinase FA is inactive and trypsin-resistant, suggesting a different membrane topography with active FA exposed on the outer face of the myelin membrane and inactive FA buried within the myelin membrane. When myelin was solubilized in 1% Triton X-100, all kinase FA became active and trypsin-labile. Phospholipid reconstitution studies further indicated that when kinase FA was reconstituted in acidic phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine, the enzyme activity was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that kinase FA interacts with acidic phospholipids which inhibit its activity. Furthermore, when myelin was incubated with exogenous phospholipase C, the inactive/trypsin-resistant FA could be converted to the active/trypsin-labile FA in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Taken together, it is concluded that membrane phospholipids play an important role in modulating the activity of kinase FA in the brain myelin. It is suggested that phospholipase C may mediate the activation-sequestration of inactive/trypsin-resistant kinase FA in the brain myelin through the phospholipase C-catalyzed degradation of acidic membrane phospholipids. The activation-sequestration of protein kinase FA may represent one mode of control modulating the activity of kinase FA in the central nervous system myelin.

Abstract
Two forms of type-1 protein phosphatase activating factor (FA) termed FA1 and FA2 have been identified in plasma membranes of pig brain. FA1 is spontaneously active and trypsin-labile whereas FA2 is inactive and trypsin-resistant. Phospholipid reconstitution studies further indicate that the FA activity in the neutral phospholipids-reconstituted complex is spontaneously active and trypsin-labile whereas the FA activity in the acidic phospholipids-reconstituted complex is trypsin-resistant and inactive. The results indicate that inactive FA2 may have its catalytic domain interacted with negatively-charged phospholipids in brain membranes. This provides initial evidence for the regulation of protein kinase FA (a transmembrane signal of insulin and epidermal growth factor) in the central nervous system.
