Abstract
The Golgi Reassembly and Stacking Proteins (GRASPs) are engaged in various functions within the cell, both in unconventional secretion mechanisms and structuring and organizing the Golgi apparatus. Understanding their specific role in each situation still requires more structural and functional data at the molecular level. GRASP55 is one of the GRASP members in mammals, anchored to the membrane via the myristoylation of a Gly residue at its N-terminus. Therefore, co-translational modifications, such as myristoylation, are fundamental when considering a strategy to obtain detailed information on the interactions between GRASP55 and membranes. Despite its functional relevance, the N-terminal myristoylation has been underappreciated in the studies reported to date, compromising the previously proposed models for GRASP-membrane interactions. Here, we investigated the synergy between the presence of the membrane and the formation of oligomeric structures of myristoylated GRASP55, using a series of biophysical techniques to perform the structural characterization of the lipidated GRASP55 and its interaction with biological lipid model membranes. Our data fulfill an unexplored gap: the adequate evaluation of the presence of lipidations and lipid membranes on the structure-function dyad of GRASPs.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The mammary gland undergoes a spectacular series of changes during its development and maintains a remarkable capacity to remodel and regenerate during progression through the lactation cycle. This flexibility of the mammary gland requires coordination of multiple processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, regeneration, stress response, immune activity, and metabolic changes under the control of diverse cellular and hormonal signaling pathways. The lactating mammary epithelium orchestrates synthesis and apical secretion of macromolecules including milk lipids, milk proteins, and lactose as well as other minor nutrients that constitute milk. Knowledge about the subcellular compartmentalization of these metabolic and signaling events, as they relate to milk production and secretion during lactation, is expanding. Here we review how major organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondrion, lysosome, and exosome) within mammary epithelial cells collaborate to initiate, mediate, and maintain lactation, and how study of these organelles provides insight into options to maintain mammary/breast health.

Abstract
Defects in protein glycosylation can have a dramatic impact on eukaryotic cells and is associated with mental and developmental pathologies in humans. The studies outlined below illustrate how a basic biochemical problem in the mechanisms of protein glycosylation, specifically substrate transporters of nucleotide sugars, including ATP and 3'-phosphoadenyl-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS), in the membrane of the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, expanded into diverse biological systems from mammals, including humans, to yeast, roundworms, and protozoa. Using these diverse model systems allowed my colleagues and me to answer fundamental biological questions that enabled us to formulate far-reaching hypotheses and expanded our knowledge of human diseases caused by malfunctions in the metabolic processes involved.

Mol Cancer Res 2018; 17:225-237. [PMID: 30224543 DOI: 10.1158/1541-7786.mcr-18-0577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2018] [Revised: 07/23/2018] [Accepted: 08/22/2018] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Multiple epidemiologic observations and meta-analysis clearly indicate the link between alcohol abuse and the incidence and progression of prostate cancer; however, the mechanism remains enigmatic. Recently, it was found that ethanol (EtOH) induces disorganization of the Golgi complex caused by impaired function of the largest Golgi matrix protein, giantin (GOLGB1), which, in turn, alters the Golgi docking of resident Golgi proteins. Here, it is determined that in normal prostate cells, histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), the known regulator of androgen receptor (AR) signaling, localizes in the cytoplasm and nucleus, while its kinase, glycogen synthase kinase β (GSK3β), primarily resides in the Golgi. Progression of prostate cancer is accompanied by Golgi scattering, translocation of GSK3β from the Golgi to the cytoplasm, and the cytoplasmic shift in HDAC6 localization. Alcohol dehydrogenase-generated metabolites induces Golgi disorganization in androgen-responsive LNCaP and 22Rv1 cells, facilitates tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model and activates anchorage-independent proliferation, migration, and cell adhesion. EtOH-treated cells demonstrate reduced giantin and subsequent cytoplasmic GSK3β; this phenomenon was validated in giantin-depleted cells. Redistribution of GSK3β to the cytoplasm results in phosphorylation of HDAC6 and its retention in the cytoplasm, which, in turn, stimulates deacetylation of HSP90, AR import into the nucleus, and secretion of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Finally, the relationship between Golgi morphology, HDAC6 cytoplasmic content, and clinicopathologic features was assessed in human prostate cancer patient specimens with and without a history of alcohol dependence. IMPLICATIONS: This study demonstrates the importance of alcohol-induced Golgi fragmentation in the activation of AR-mediated proliferation.

Abstract
Chlamydiales comprise important human and animal pathogens as well as endosymbionts of amoebae. Generally, these obligate intracellular living bacteria are characterized by a biphasic developmental cycle, a reduced genome and a restricted metabolic capacity. Because of their metabolic impairment, Chlamydiales essentially rely on the uptake of diverse metabolites from their hosts. Chlamydiales thrive in a special compartment, the inclusion, and hence are surrounded by an additional membrane. Solutes might enter the inclusion through pores and open channels or by redirection of host vesicles, which fuse with the inclusion membrane and release their internal cargo. Recent investigations shed new light on the chlamydia-host interaction and identified an additional way for nutrient uptake into the inclusion. Proteome studies and targeting analyses identified chlamydial and host solute carriers in inclusions of Chlamydia trachomatis infected cells. These transporters are involved in the provision of UDP-glucose and biotin, and probably deliver further metabolites to the inclusion. By the controlled recruitment of specific solute carriers to the inclusion, the chlamydial resident thus can actively manipulate the metabolite availability and composition in the inclusion. This review summarizes recent findings and new ideas on carrier mediated solute uptake into the chlamydial inclusion in the context of the bacterial and host metabolism.

Abstract
GRASP55 and GRASP65 were knocked out, and it was found that double knockout of GRASP proteins disperses the Golgi stack into single cisternae and tubulovesicular structures, accelerates protein trafficking, and impairs accurate glycosylation of proteins and lipids. Golgi reassembly stacking protein of 65 kDa (GRASP65) and Golgi reassembly stacking protein of 55 kDa (GRASP55) were originally identified as Golgi stacking proteins; however, subsequent GRASP knockdown experiments yielded inconsistent results with respect to the Golgi structure, indicating a limitation of RNAi-based depletion. In this study, we have applied the recently developed clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 technology to knock out GRASP55 and GRASP65, individually or in combination, in HeLa and HEK293 cells. We show that double knockout of GRASP proteins disperses the Golgi stack into single cisternae and tubulovesicular structures, accelerates protein trafficking, and impairs accurate glycosylation of proteins and lipids. These results demonstrate a critical role for GRASPs in maintaining the stacked structure of the Golgi, which is required for accurate posttranslational modifications in the Golgi. Additionally, the GRASP knockout cell lines developed in this study will be useful tools for studying the role of GRASP proteins in other important cellular processes.

Vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT): appearance of an actress on the stage of purinergic signaling. Purinergic Signal 2017; 13:387-404.

Abstract
Vesicular storage of ATP is one of the processes initiating purinergic chemical transmission. Although an active transport mechanism was postulated to be involved in the processes, a transporter(s) responsible for the vesicular storage of ATP remained unidentified for some time. In 2008, SLC17A9, the last identified member of the solute carrier 17 type I inorganic phosphate transporter family, was found to encode the vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT) that is responsible for the vesicular storage of ATP. VNUT transports various nucleotides in a membrane potential-dependent fashion and is expressed in the various ATP-secreting cells. Mice with knockout of the VNUT gene lose vesicular storage and release of ATP from neurons and neuroendocrine cells, resulting in blockage of the initiation of purinergic chemical transmission. Thus, VNUT plays an essential role in the vesicular storage and release of ATP. The VNUT knockout mice exhibit resistance for neuropathic pain and a therapeutic effect against diabetes by way of increased insulin sensitivity. Thus, VNUT inhibitors and suppression of VNUT gene expression may be used for therapeutic purposes through suppression of purinergic chemical transmission. This review summarizes the studies to date on VNUT and discusses what we have learned about the relevance of vesicular ATP release as a potential drug target.

Abstract
A rare disease afflicts less than 200,000 individuals, according to the National Organization for Rare Diseases (NORD) of the United States. Over 6,000 rare disorders affect approximately 1 in 10 Americans. Rare genetic bone disorders remain the major causes of disability in US patients. These rare bone disorders also represent a therapeutic challenge for clinicians, due to lack of understanding of underlying mechanisms. This systematic review explored current literature on therapeutic directions for the following rare genetic bone disorders: fibrous dysplasia, Gorham-Stout syndrome, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, melorheostosis, multiple hereditary exostosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, craniometaphyseal dysplasia, achondroplasia, and hypophosphatasia. The disease mechanisms of Gorham-Stout disease, melorheostosis, and multiple hereditary exostosis are not fully elucidated. Inhibitors of the ACVR1/ALK2 pathway may serve as possible therapeutic intervention for FOP. The use of bisphosphonates and IL-6 inhibitors has been explored to be useful in the treatment of fibrous dysplasia, but more research is warranted. Cell therapy, bisphosphonate polytherapy, and human growth hormone may avert the pathology in osteogenesis imperfecta, but further studies are needed. There are still no current effective treatments for these bone disorders; however, significant promising advances in therapeutic modalities were developed that will limit patient suffering and treat their skeletal disabilities.

Abstract
Protein kinases constitute one of the largest gene families and control many aspects of cellular life. In retrospect, the first indication for their existence was reported 130 years ago when the secreted protein, casein, was shown to contain phosphate. Despite its identification as the first phosphoprotein, the responsible kinase has remained obscure. This conundrum was solved with the discovery of a novel family of atypical protein kinases that are secreted and appear to phosphorylate numerous extracellular proteins, including casein. Fam20C, the archetypical member, phosphorylates secreted proteins within Ser-x-Glu/pSer motifs. This discovery has solved a 130-year-old mystery and has shed light on several human disorders of biomineralization.

Abstract
We report here for the first time the isolation and characterization of a protein from the organic matrix (OM) of the sclerites of the alcyonarian, Corallium rubrum. This protein named scleritin is one of the predominant proteins extracted from the EDTA-soluble fraction of the OM. The entire open reading frame (ORF) was obtained by comparing amino acid sequences from de novo mass spectrometry and Edman degradation with an expressed sequence tag library dataset of C. rubrum. Scleritin is a secreted basic phosphorylated protein which exhibits a short amino acid sequence of 135 amino acids and a signal peptide of 20 amino acids. From specific antibodies raised against peptide sequences of scleritin, we obtained immunolabeling of scleroblasts and OM of the sclerites which provides information on the biomineralization pathway in C. rubrum.

Abstract
Adenine nucleotides play a vital role in plant metabolism and physiology, essentially representing the major energy currency of the cell. Heterotrophic cells regenerate most of the ATP in mitochondria, whereas autotrophic cells also possess chloroplasts, representing a second powerhouse for ATP regeneration. Even though the synthesis of these nucleotides is restricted to a few locations, their use is nearly ubiquitous across the cell and thereby highly efficient systems are required to transport these molecules into and out of different compartments. Here, we discuss the location, biochemical characterization and evolution of corresponding transport systems in plants. We include recent scientific findings concerning organellar transporters from plants and algae and also focus on the physiological importance of adenine nucleotide exchange in these cells.

Abstract
Glucose residues from N-linked oligosaccharides are removed by glucosidases I and II in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or by the alternate endomannosidase pathway in the Golgi apparatus. Our morphological analysis demonstrates that recombinant rat endomannosidase exhibited a cis- and medial-Golgi localization alike the endogenous enzyme and its ER to Golgi transport is COP II mediated. Recombinant endomannosidase undergoes a posttranslational modification, which is not related to N-or O-glycosylation. A shift in molecular mass of recombinant endomannosidase was observed upon phosphatase digestion but not for ER-retained CHO cell endomannosidase. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation of (35)S- and (33)P-labeled endomannosidase expressed in CHO-K1 cells suggests that recombinant endomannosidase undergoes phosphorylation. Substitution of the single cytoplasmic threonine residue of rat endomannosidase by either an alanine or valine residue resulted in the same posttranslational modification alike the wild-type enzyme. The subcellular localization and the in vivo activity of the mutant endomannosidase were not affected. Thus, endomannosidase phosphorylation is occurring in luminal sequences. Modification was prevented when endomannosidase was synthesized using reticulocyte lysates in the presence of canine microsomes. Treatment of cells with brefeldin A blocked the posttranslational modification of endomannosidase, suggesting that phosphorylation is occurring in the Golgi apparatus, the residence of endomannosidase.

Abstract
ATP is an excitatory neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous system. We investigated ATP accumulation in highly purified brain synaptic vesicles (SVs). Based on the amount of ATP accumulated in SVs under the conditions used, ATP is not transported against a concentration gradient but rather appears to have a Delta mu H(+)-independent mechanism. ATP transport was inhibited by DIDS and NEM, but was not affected by Mg(2+) or by pre-incubation with nucleotides. These results suggest a unique transport mechanism that does not involve exchange with other nucleotides or protons, unlike other known neurotransmitter transport systems.

Abstract
The gamma-subunit of Na-K-ATPase is robustly expressed in inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD)3 cells either acutely challenged or adapted to hypertonicity but not under isotonic conditions. Circumstantial evidence suggests that this protein may be important for the survival of renal cells in a hypertonic environment. However, no direct proof for such a contention has been forthcoming. The complete mRNA sequences of either gamma-subunit isoforms were spliced into an expression vector and transfected into IMCD3 cells. Multiple clones stably expressed gamma-subunit protein under isotonic conditions. Clones expressing the gamma(b) isoform showed enhanced survival at lethal acute hypertonicity compared with either gamma(a) isoform or empty vector (control) expressing clones. We also evaluated the loss of gamma-subunit expression on the survival of IMCD3 cells exposed to hypertonicity employing silencing RNA techniques. Multiple stable gamma-subunit-specific siRNA clones were obtained and exposed to sublethal hypertonicity. Under these conditions, both the level of gamma mRNA and protein was essentially undetectable. The impact of silencing gamma-subunit expression resulted in a 70% reduction at 48 h (P < 0.01) in cell survival compared with empty vector (control) clones. gamma siRNA clones showed a 45% decrease in myo-inositol uptake compared with controls after an 18-h exposure to sublethal hypertonicity. Taken together, these data demonstrate a direct and critical role of the gamma-subunit on IMCD3 cell survival and/or adaptation in response to ionic hypertonic stress.

Abstract
Anion channels provide a pathway for Cl(-) influx into the lumen of the Golgi cisternae. This influx permits luminal acidification by the organelle's H(+)-ATPase. Three different experimental approaches, electrophysiological, biochemical, and proteomic, demonstrated that two Golgi anion channels, GOLAC-1 and GOLAC-2, also mediate ATP anion transport into the Golgi lumen. First, GOLAC-1 and -2 were incorporated into planar lipid bilayers, and single-channel recordings were obtained. Low ionic activities of K(2)ATP added to the cis-chamber directly inhibited the Cl(-) subconductance levels of both channels, with K(m) values ranging from 16 to 115 microM. Substitution of either K(2)ATP or MgATP for Cl(-) on the cis, trans, or both sides indicated that ATP is conducted by the channels with a relative permeability sequence of Cl(-) > ATP(4-) > MgATP(2-). Single-channel currents were observed at physiological concentrations of Cl(-) and ATP, providing evidence for their importance in vivo. Second, transport of [alpha-(32)P]ATP into sealed Golgi vesicles that maintain in situ orientation was consistent with movement through the GOLACs because it exhibited little temperature dependence and was saturated with an apparent K(m) = 25 microM. Finally, after transport of [gamma-(32)P]ATP, a protease-protection assay demonstrated that proteins are phosphorylated within the Golgi lumen, and after SDS-PAGE, the proteins in the phosphorylated bands were identified by mass spectrometry. GOLAC conductances, [alpha-(32)P]ATP transport, and protein phosphorylation have identical pharmacological profiles. We conclude that the GOLACs play dual roles in the Golgi complex, providing pathways for Cl(-) and ATP influx into the Golgi lumen.

Abstract
The prohormone convertases play important roles in the maturation of neuropeptides and peptide hormone precursors. Prohormone convertase-2 (PC2) is the only convertase that requires the expression of another neuroendocrine protein, 7B2, for expression of enzyme activity. In this study, we determined that 7B2 can be phosphorylated in Rin cells (a rat insulinoma cell line) and cultured chromaffin cells, but not in AtT-20 cells (derived from mouse anterior pituitary). Phosphoamino acid analysis of Rin cell 7B2 indicated the presence of phosphorylated serine and threonine. Phosphorylation of Ser115 (located within the minimally active 36-residue peptide) was confirmed by mutagenesis, although Ser115 did not represent the sole residue phosphorylated. Two independent assays were used to investigate the effect of phosphorylated 7B2 on PC2 activation: the ability of 7B2 to bind to pro-PC2 was assessed by co-immunoprecipitation, and activation of pro-PC2 was assessed in a cell-free assay. Phosphorylated 7B2 was unable to bind pro-PC2, and the phosphorylated 7B2 peptide (residues 86-121, known to be the minimally active peptide for pro-PC2 activation) was impaired in its ability to facilitate the generation of PC2 activity in membrane fractions containing pro-PC2. In vitro phosphorylation experiments using Golgi membrane fractions showed that 7B2 could be phosphorylated by endogenous Golgi kinases. Golgi kinase activity was strongly inhibited by the broad-range kinase inhibitor staurosporine and partially inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide I, but not by the other protein kinase A, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II, myosin light chain kinase, and protein kinase G inhibitors tested. We conclude that phosphorylation of 7B2 functionally inactivates this protein and suggest that this may be analogous to the phosphorylating inactivation of BiP, which impairs its ability to bind substrate.

Abstract
The transport of nucleotide sugars from the cytoplasm into the Golgi apparatus is mediated by specialized type III proteins, the nucleotide sugar transporters (NSTs). Transport assays carried out in vitro with Golgi vesicles from mammalian cells showed specific uptake for a total of eight nucleotide sugars. When this study was started, NSTs with transport activities for all but two nucleotide sugars (UDP-Xyl and UDP-Glc) had been cloned. Aiming at identifying these elusive NSTs, bioinformatic methods were used to display putative NST sequences in the human genome. Ten open reading frames were identified, cloned, and heterologously expressed in yeast. Transport capabilities for UDP-Glc and UDP-Xyl were determined with Golgi vesicles isolated from transformed cells. Although a potential UDP-Glc transporter could not be identified due to the high endogenous transport background, the measurement of UDP-Xyl transport was possible on a zero background. Vesicles from yeast cells expressing the human gene SLC35B4 showed specific uptake of UDP-Xyl, and subsequent testing of other nucleotide sugars revealed a second activity for UDP-GlcNAc. Expression of the epitope-tagged SLC35B4 in mammalian cells demonstrated strict Golgi localization. Because decarboxylation of UDP-GlcA is known to produce UDP-Xyl directly in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi lumen, our data demonstrate that two ways exist to deliver UDP-Xyl to the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
In reptiles, as in the other oviparous vertebrates, vitellogenin (VTG) synthesis is stimulated in the liver by ovarian estrogens. In this article, the presence of VTG precursors was detected in liver subcellular fractions of the oviparous lizard, Podarcis sicula, in the reproductive period. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and the smooth microsomal fraction (SMF), which includes smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex, were separated by means of two different sucrose gradients. The successful separation was controlled at the electron microscope. The contents of the different compartments were extracted by means of n-octyl-beta-D-glucopiranoside detergent and subjected to SDS-PAGE. Western Blotting with homologous anti/VTG antibody revealed two immunoreactive proteins of about 84 and 70 kDa in the RER, and four proteins of about 180, 150, 60, 50 kDa in the SMF; all these proteins appeared phosphorylated and glycosylated. The differences in the molecular weight of these VTG precursors are discussed.

Abstract
We isolated and sequenced cDNA clones encoding a 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP94) from a cDNA library constructed using bovine (Bos taurus) mammary gland poly(A)(+) RNA. The coding nucleotide sequence and the deduced amino acid sequence of bovine GRP94 shared 94.2-88.4% and 98.1-96.5% identity with those of other mammalian species, respectively. The primary structure contained a carboxyl-terminal signal sequence for retention in the endoplasmic reticulum, six potential sites for N-linked glycosylation and two potential adenosine 5'-triphosphate binding sites, similar to other mammalian and avian GRP94 homologues. In Northern blot hybridization using a cDNA probe from the bovine GRP94 cDNA sequence, a transcript 3.0 kb in size was detected. We measured the amounts of GRP94 and its mRNA in mammary glands from cows at various developmental stages of hormonally induced lactation. The highest level of GRP94 mRNA, determined by dot blot analysis, was detected in the developing stage. In contrast to the mRNA level, the amount of protein, determined by immunoblot analysis using rabbit antiserum raised against GRP94 purified from bovine brain, was higher in lactating stages than in others. The increased level of GRP94 mRNA during the developing stage and the maintenance of GRP94 protein during lactation suggest that the synthesis of GRP94 is regulated during mammary development and differentiation, and also that the protein is involved in a function related to lactation.

Abstract
Inorganic pyrophosphate (PP(i)) regulates certain intracellular functions and extracellular crystal deposition. PP(i) is produced, degraded, and transported by specialized mechanisms. Moreover, dysregulated cellular PP(i) production, degradation, and transport all have been associated with disease, and PP(i) appears to directly mediate specific disease manifestations. In addition, natural and synthetic analogs of PP(i) are in use or currently under evaluation as prophylactic agents or therapies for disease. This review summarizes recent developments in the understanding of how PP(i) is made and disposed of by cells and assesses the body of evidence for potentially significant physiological functions of intracellular PP(i) in higher organisms. Major topics addressed are recent lines of molecular evidence that directly link decreased and increased extracellular PP(i) levels with diseases in which connective tissue matrix calcification is disordered. To illustrate in depth the effects of disordered PP(i) metabolism, this review weighs the roles in matrix calcification of the transmembrane protein ANK, which regulates intracellular to extracellular movement of PP(i), and the PP(i)-generating phosphodiesterase nucleotide pyrophosphatase family isoenzyme plasma cell membrane glycoprotein-1 (PC-1).

Abstract
Renal cells in culture have low viability when exposed to hypertonicity. We developed cell lines of inner medullary collecting duct cells adapted to live at 600 and 900 mosmol/kgH(2)O. We studied the three modules of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family in the adapted cells. These cells had no increase in either extracellular signal-regulated kinase, c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase, or p38 MAP kinase protein or basal activity. When acutely challenged with further increments in tonicity, they had blunted activation of these kinases, which was not due to enhanced phosphatase activity. In contrast, the cells adapted to the hypertonicity displayed a marked increment in Na-K-ATPase expression (5-fold) and ouabain-sensitive Na-K-ATPase activity (10-fold). The changes were reversible on return to isotonic conditions. Replacement of 300 mosmol/kgH(2)O of NaCl by urea in cells adapted to 600 mosmol/kgH(2)O resulted in marked decrement in Na-K-ATPase and failure to maintain the cell line. Replacement of NaCl for urea in cells adapted to 900 mosmol/kgH(2)O did not alter either Na-K-ATPase expression, or the viability of the cells. The in vivo modulation of Na-K-ATPase was studied in the renal papilla of water-deprived mice (urinary osmolality 2,900 mosmol/kgH(2)O), compared with that of mice drinking dextrose in water (550 mosmol/kgH(2)O). Increased water intake was associated with a ~30% decrement in Na-K-ATPase expression (P < 0.02, n = 6), suggesting that this enzyme is osmoregulated in vivo. We conclude that whereas MAP kinases play a role in the response to acute changes in tonicity, they are not central to the chronic adaptive response. Rather, in this setting there is upregulation of other osmoprotective proteins, among which Na-K-ATPase appears to be an important component of the adaptive process.

Abstract
gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine are stored into synaptic vesicles by a recently identified vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter [VIAAT, also called vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT)]. Immunoblotting analysis revealed that rat brain VIAAT migrated as a doublet during sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, with a predominant slower band in all areas examined except olfactory bulb and retina. The slower band corresponded to a phosphorylated form of VIAAT as it was converted to the faster one by treating brain homogenates with alkaline phosphatase or with an endogenous phosphatase identified as type 2A protein-serine/threonine phosphatase using okadaic acid. In contrast, the recombinant protein expressed in COS-7 or PC12 cells co-migrated with the faster band of the brain doublet and was insensitive to alkaline phosphatase. To investigate the influence of VIAAT phosphorylation on vesicular neurotransmitter loading, purified synaptic vesicles were treated with alkaline phosphatase and assayed for amino acid uptake. However, neither GABA nor glycine uptake was affected by VIAAT phosphorylation. These results indicate that VIAAT is constitutively phosphorylated on cytosolic serine or threonine residues in most, but not all, regions of the rat brain. This phosphorylation does not regulate the vesicular loading of GABA or glycine, suggesting that it is involved at other stages of the synaptic vesicle life cycle.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) transporter from rat liver rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) was solubilized and reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine liposomes. The RER proteoliposomes, resulting from optimizing some reconstitution parameters, had an apparent K(m) value of 1.5 microM and a V(max) of 286 pmol min(-1) (mg protein)(-1) and showed higher affinity for ATP and a lower V(max) value than intact RER (K(m) of 6.5 microM and V(max) of 1 nmol). ATP transport was time- and temperature-dependent, inhibited by 4, 4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, which is known as an inhibitor of anion transporters including ATP transporter, but was not affected by atractyloside, a specific inhibitor of mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier. The internal and external effects of various nucleotides on the ATP transport were examined. ATP transport was cis-inhibited strongly by ADP and weakly by AMP. ADP-preloaded RER proteoliposomes showed a specific increase of ATP transport activity while AMP-preloaded RER proteoliposomes did not show the enhanced overshoot peak in the ATP uptake plot. These results demonstrate the ADP/ATP antiport mechanism of ATP transport in rat liver RER.

Abstract
Glycosylation of glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycolipids occurring in the Golgi apparatus requires the translocation of nucleotide sugars from the cytosol into the lumen of the Golgi. Translocation is mediated by specific nucleotide sugar transporters, integral Golgi membrane proteins that regulate the above glycosylation reactions. A defect in GDP-fucose transport into the lumen of the Golgi apparatus has been recently identified in a patient affected by leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II syndrome (Lubke, T., Marquardt, T., von Figura, K., and Korner, C. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 25986-25989). We have now identified and purified the rat liver Golgi membrane GDP-fucose transporter, a protein with an apparent molecular mass of 39 kDa, by a combination of column chromatography, native functional size determination on a glycerol gradient, and photoaffinity labeling with 8-azidoguanosine-5'-[alpha-(32)P] triphosphate, an analog of GDP-fucose. The purified transporter appears to exist as a homodimer within the Golgi membrane. When reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine liposomes, it was active in GDP-fucose transport and was specifically photolabeled with 8-azidoguanosine-5'-[alpha-(32)P]triphosphate. Transport was also stimulated 2-3-fold after preloading proteoliposomes with GMP, the putative antiporter.

Abstract
E-type ATPases are involved in many biological processes such as modulation of neural cell activity, prevention of intravascular thrombosis, and protein glycosylation. In this study, we show that a gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, identified by similarity to that of animal ectoapyrase CD39, codes for a new member of the E-type ATPase family (Apy1p). Overexpression of Apy1p in yeast cells causes an increase in intracellular membrane-bound nucleoside di- and triphosphate hydrolase activity. The activity is highest with ADP as substrate and is stimulated similarly by Ca (2+), Mg(2+), and Mn(2+). The results also indicate that Apy1p is an integral membrane protein located predominantly in the Golgi compartment. Sequence analysis reveals that Apy1p contains one large NH(2)-terminal hydrophilic apyrase domain, one COOH-terminal hydrophilic domain, and two hydrophobic stretches in the central region of the polypeptide. Although no signal sequence is found at the NH(2)-terminal portion of the protein and no NH(2)-terminal cleavage of the protein is observed, demonstrated by the detection of NH(2)-terminal tagged Apy1p, the NH(2)-terminal domain of Apylp is on the luminal side of the Golgi apparatus, and the COOH-terminal hydrophilic domain binds to the cytoplasmic face of the Golgi membrane. The second hydrophobic stretch of Apy1p is the transmembrane domain. These results indicate that Apylp is a type III transmembrane protein; however, the size of the Apy1p extracytoplasmic NH(2) terminus is much larger than those of other type III transmembrane proteins, suggesting that a novel translocation mechanism is utilized.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of secretory and integral membrane proteins and of proteoglycans also occurs in the lumen of the Golgi apparatus. ATP, the phosphate donor in these reactions, must first cross the Golgi membrane before it can serve as substrate. The existence of a specific ATP transporter in the Golgi membrane has been previously demonstrated in vitro using intact Golgi membrane vesicles from rat liver and mammary gland. We have now identified and purified the rat liver Golgi membrane ATP transporter. The transporter was purified to apparent homogeneity by a combination of conventional ion exchange, dye color, and affinity chromatography. An approximately 70,000-fold purification (2% yield) was achieved starting from crude rat liver Golgi membranes. A protein with an apparent molecular mass of 60 kDa was identified as the putative transporter by a combination of column chromatography, photoaffinity labeling with an analog of ATP, and native functional size determination on a glycerol gradient. The purified transporter appears to exist as a homodimer within the Golgi membrane, and when reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine liposomes, was active in ATP but not nucleotide sugar or adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-phosphosulfate transport. The transport activity was saturable with an apparent Km very similar to that of intact Golgi vesicles.

Abstract
ST6Gal-I (alpha2,6-sialyltransferase) is expressed as two isoforms, STTyr and STCys, which exhibit differences in catalytic activity, trafficking through the secretory pathway, and proteolytic processing and secretion. We have found that the ST6Gal-I isoforms are phosphorylated on luminal Ser and Thr residues. Immunoprecipitation of 35S- and 32P-labeled proteins expressed in COS-1 cells suggests that the STTyr isoform is phosphorylated to a greater extent than the STCys isoform. Analysis of domain deletion mutants revealed that STTyr is phosphorylated on stem and catalytic domain amino acids, whereas STCys is phosphorylated on catalytic domain amino acids. An endoplasmic reticulum retained/retrieved chimeric Iip33-ST protein demonstrates drastically lower phosphorylation than does the wild type STTyr isoform. This suggests that the bulk of the ST6Gal-I phosphorylation is occurring in the Golgi. Treatment of cells with the ionophore monensin does not significantly block phosphorylation of the STTyr isoform, suggesting that phosphorylation is occurring in the cis-medial Golgi prior to the monensin block. This study demonstrates the presence of kinase activities in the cis-medial Golgi and the substantial phosphorylation of the luminal sequences of a glycosyltransferase.

Abstract
The lumens of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are the subcellular sites where glycosylation, sulfation, and phosphorylation of secretory and membrane-bound proteins, proteoglycans, and lipids occur. Nucleotide sugars, nucleotide sulfate, and ATP are substrates for these reactions. ATP is also used as an energy source in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum during protein folding and degradation. The above nucleotide derivatives and ATP must first be translocated across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and/or Golgi apparatus before they can serve as substrates in the above lumenal reactions. Translocation of the above solutes is mediated for highly specific transporters, which are antiporters with the corresponding nucleoside monophosphates as shown by biochemical and genetic approaches. Mutants in mammals, yeast, and protozoa showed that a defect in a specific translocator activity results in selective impairments of the above posttranslational modifications, including loss of virulence of pathogenic protozoa. Several of these transporters have been purified and cloned. Experiments with yeast and mammalian cells demonstrate that these transporters play a regulatory role in the above reactions. Future studies will address the structure of the above proteins, how they are targeted to different organelles, their potential as drug targets, their role during development, and the possible occurrence of specific diseases.

Nucleotide sugars, nucleotide sulfate, and ATP are substrates in the above reactions and must first be translocated from the cytosol into the lumen of these organelles. Translocation of these nucleotide derivatives is mediated by highly specific transporters, which are antiporters with the corresponding nucleoside monophosphate, as shown by genetic and biochemical approaches in mammals and yeast. Studies with mammalian, yeast, and protozoa mutants have shown that a defect in a specific translocator results in selective impairments of glycosylation of proteins, lipids and proteoglycans in vivo. Several of these transporters have been purified, cloned, and found to encode very hydrophobic proteins with multitransmembrane domains. Experiments with yeast and mammalian cells demonstrate that these transporters play a regulatory role in posttranslational modifications.

Abstract
By using a beta-casein-derived specific peptide substrate for mammary gland Golgi-enriched-fraction casein kinase, phosphorylating activity has been detected in the Golgi apparatus of rat liver, spleen and to a lesser extent, kidney and brain, while the other post-nuclear cytoplasmic fractions are totally devoid of such a casein kinase activity. In contrast ubiquitous protein kinases CK1 and CK2 (casein kinases 1 and 2), tested with their specific peptide substrates, display different subcellular distribution and are almost undetectable in the Golgi fraction. The absence of CK2 in the Golgi fraction has been also confirmed using specific antibodies. The relatedness between the liver Golgi apparatus casein kinase (G-CK) and the bona fide mammary gland Golgi-enriched-fraction casein kinase (GEF-CK) is supported by a variety of observations, notably: (a) identical peptide substrate specificity, consistent with an S-X-E-X consensus sequence; (b) preference for Mn2+, and, to a lesser extent, Co2+, over Mg2+, as activating cation; (c) superimposable elution profiles from DEAE-Sepharose, heparin-Sepharose, and Superdex 200, this latter consistent with a molecular mass around 500 kDa; (d) insensitivity to staurosporine and heparin (a potent inhibitor of CK2) and inability to use GTP as phosphate donor (by contrast to CK2). These data provide the evidence for the existence of a third class of ubiquitous casein kinases here termed G-CK, distinct from CK1 and CK2, specifically located to the Golgi apparatus and related to the bona fide casein kinase(s) responsible for the phosphorylation of casein secreted from lactating mammary gland. The possible involvement of G-CK in the phosphorylation of secretory pathways proteins at S-X-E motifs is discussed.

Abstract
In the present work we studied the relationship between the phosphorylated 150- and 160-kDa proteins and other SR proteins in the 150,000-170,000 range of molecular masses. on SDS-PAGE, the identification of their kinase, as well as the purification and structural interactions between these proteins and the rynodine receptor (RyR). The phosphorylated 150-kDa protein was identified as sarcalumenin based on: (a) its cross-reactivity with three different monoclonal antibodies specific for sarcalumenin. (b) its mobility in SDS-PAGE which was modified upon digestion with endoglycosidase H, (c) its elution from lentil-lectin column by alpha-methyl mannoside, (d) its resistance to trypsin, (e) its ability to bind Ca2+ and to stain blue with Stains-All. The phosphorylated 160-kDa protein was identified as the histidine-rich Ca2+ binding protein (HCP) based on: (a) its Ca(2+)-binding property and staining blue with Stains-All, (b) phosphorylation with the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent kinase. (c) its increased mobility in SDS-PAGE in the presence of Ca2+ (d) its heat stability and (e) its partial amino acid sequence. The endogenous kinase was identified as casein kinase II (CK II) based on the inhibition of the endogenous phosphorylation 160/150-kDa proteins by heparin, 5.6-dichlorobenzimidazole riboside, polyaspartyl peptide and hemin, and its ability to use [gamma-32P]GTP as the phosphate donor. The association of CK II with SR membranes, was demonstrated using specific polyclonal anti-CK II antibodies. The luminal location of CK II is suggested because CK II was extracted from the SR by l M NaCl only after their treatment with hypotonic medium, and CK II activity was inhibited with the charged inhibitors heparin and polyaspartyl peptide only after their incubation with the SR in the presence of NP-40. The 160- and 150-kDa proteins were purified on spermine-agarose column, and were phosphorylated by CK II. Like the endogenous phosphorylation of the 150/160-kDa proteins in SR. the phosphorylation of the purified proteins by CK II was inhibited by La3+ (Cl50 = 4 microM) and hemin. The results suggest the phosphorylation of the luminally located sarcalumenin and HCP with CK II.

Abstract
ATP is an excitatory neurotransmitter that is stored and cosecreted with catecholamines from cells of the adrenal medulla. While the transport of catecholamines into chromaffin granule ghosts has been extensively characterized, there is little information on the mechanism of ATP transport into these structures. Here we show that ATP transport is driven by the electrical component of the electrochemical proton gradient created by the chromaffin granule membrane H+-ATPase, and that the accumulated nucleotide is released from the vesicles by inhibition of the H+-ATPase. GTP and UTP are also substrates for this transporter, distinguishing it from the mitochondrial ADP/ATP exchanger. Accumulation of ADP and ATP (rather than exchange with intravesicular ATP) is demonstrated by high pressure liquid chromatography measurements. The anion transport inhibitor 4,4-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (Ki = 27 microM) inhibits ATP transport, while atractyloside, the inhibitor of the mitochondrial ATP/ADP exchanger, is a very poor inhibitor. Finally, we have demonstrated a synergy between the accumulation of ATP and that of serotonin (i.e. more of each solute accumulates when the two are accumulated together), supporting the view that there is an interaction between serotonin and ATP that reduces their effective concentration within the ghosts.

Abstract
Glycoprotein processing in Dictyostelium discoideum is characterized by enzyme catalyzed steps not reported in other organisms. One of these is the formation of a beta 1 --> 4 linkage between GlcNAc and the mannose linked to the core mannose in the alpha 1 --> 6 position of N-glycosides. A simple and sensitive assay for this GlcNAc transferase activity, using a tri-mannose acceptor and a low concentration of UDP-GlcNAc, was developed. Homogenates of the organism were subjected to sub-cellular fractionation by centrifugation in discontinuous sucrose gradients. The specific activity was enriched 4-5-fold in a crude membrane fraction. The transferase was purified 10-12-fold in a membrane fraction that bands on top of 1.1 M sucrose. This fraction was also enriched in nucleotidyldiphosphatase. The enriched fraction was deficient in glucose-6-phosphatase, an endoplasmic reticulum marker. Approx. 80% of the transferase activity was latent, and unavailable to protease. Purified membranes were either subjected to phase separation in Triton X-114, or sodium carbonate extraction or sonication. In each case, the transferase behaved as an intrinsic membrane protein. Several secreted and lysosomal proteins are modified by the enzyme. These data support the idea that the GlcNAc transferase is present as an integral Golgi membrane protein and that at least the catalytic center of the transferase is on the lumenal side of the vesicles.

Abstract
In this study we demonstrate the existence of a protein with properties of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) using multiple approaches as summarized in the following: (a) 35 and 30 kDa proteins in different SR preparations, purified from other membranal systems by Ca2+/oxalate loading and sedimentation through 55% sucrose, cross-react with four different VDAC monoclonal antibodies. (b) Amino acid sequences of three peptides derived from the SR 35 kDa protein are identical to the sequences present in VDAC1 isoform. (c) Similar to the mitochondrial VDAC, the SR protein is specifically labeled by [14C]DCCD. (d) Using a new method, a 35 kDa protein has been purified from SR and mitochondria with a higher yield for the SR. (e) Upon reconstitution into a planar lipid bilayer, the purified SR protein shows voltage-dependent channel activity with properties similar to those of the purified mitochondrial VDAC or VDAC1/porin 31HL from human B lymphocytes, and its channel activity is completely inhibited by the anion transport inhibitor DIDS and about 80% by DCCD. We also demonstrate the translocation of ATP into the SR lumen and the phosphorylation of the luminal protein sarcalumenin by this ATP. Both ATP translocation and sarcalumenin phosphorylation are inhibited by DIDS, but not by atractyloside, a blocker of the ATP/ADP exchanger. These results indicate the existence of VDAC, thought to be located exclusively in mitochondria, in the SR of skeletal muscle, and its possible involvement in ATP transport. Together with recent studies on VDAC multicompartment location and its dynamic association with enzymes and channels, our findings suggest that VDAC deserves attention and consideration as a protein contributing to various cellular functions.

Abstract
A partial mouse cDNA was isolated by its ability to functionally complement a thymidine transport deficiency in plasma membranes of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The full-length cDNA encoded a previously unidentified 27-kDa protein (mouse transporter protein (MTP)) with four predicted transmembrane-spanning domains. MTP mRNA was detected in cells of several mammalian species, and its predicted protein sequence exhibited near identity (98%) with that of a human cDNA (HUMORF13). MTP and its homologs evidently reside in an intracellular membrane compartment because a protein (about 24 kDa) that was recognized by MTP-specific antibodies was observed in a subcellular fraction of rat hepatocytes enriched for Golgi membranes. Deletion of the hydrophilic C terminus of MTP, which encompassed two putative signal motifs for intracellular localization (Tyr-X-X-hydrophobic amino acid), allowed expression of recombinant protein (MTP deltaC) in plasma membranes of Xenopus laevis oocytes. MTP deltaC-expressing oocytes exhibited greater fragility than nonexpressing oocytes, and those that survived the experimental manipulations were capable of mediated uptake of thymidine, uridine, and adenosine. Thymidine uptake by MTP deltaC-expressing oocytes was inhibited by thymine and dTMP. MTP may function in the transport of nucleosides and/or nucleoside derivatives between the cytosol and the lumen of an intracellular membrane-bound compartment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In subjects with idiopathic calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition disease, cartilage chondrocytes elaborate increased amounts of PPi. The mechanism of the intracellular PPi elevation is not known. Plasma membrane 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase I/nucleotide pyrophosphohydrolase (NTPPPH) activity also is elevated in chondrocytes and dermal fibroblasts of patients with idiopathic CPPD deposition disease. NTPPPH, as an ecto-enzyme, could act within certain intracellular compartments. Thus, we hypothesized a potential causal link between increased NTPPPH activity and increased intracellular PPi. METHODS Transformed simian fibroblasts (COS cells) and human osteoblasts (U2OS cells) were transfected with the 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase I ecto-enzyme plasma cell membrane glycoprotein-1 (PC-1), recently shown to be expressed in cartilage, osteoblasts, and fibroblasts. RESULTS Transfection with PC-1 markedly up-regulated 5'-nucleotode phosphodiesterase I activity and increased intracellular PPi concentrations by increasing the capacity of cells to generate PPi. Importantly, this did not require supplementation with exogenous nucleotides. CONCLUSION Cellular overexpression of PC-1 produces NTPPPH overactivity and increased intracellular PPi generation in vitro. These findings support the potential importance of NTPPPH overactivity in PPi generation, both inside and outside the cell, in some subjects with CPPD deposition disease.

Abstract
The major milk proteins, the caseins, contain multiple phosphorylation sites. Phosphorylation of the caseins is necessary to allow Ca2+ binding and aggregation of the caseins to form micelles. We have followed the phosphorylation of the caseins in isolated acini from lactating mouse mammary gland. Incubation of mammary cells with [32P]orthophosphate revealed that phosphorylation of newly synthesised caseins was complete within 20 minutes of synthesis. Extensive secretion of alpha-, beta- and gamma-caseins occurred over a 2 hour period. Activation of the regulated secretory pathway using ionomycin over the last hour resulted in a preferential increase in secretion of alpha- and gamma-caseins. Brefeldin A (BFA) inhibited protein secretion and synthesis in mammary cells in prolonged incubations. An examination of short-term treatments with BFA on 32P incorporation into the caseins revealed a differential effect of BFA in which the drug inhibited phosphorylation of beta- and gamma- but not alpha-caseins. These results suggest that phosphorylation of alpha-casein normally occurs in Golgi cisternae whereas that of beta- and gamma-caseins occurs in the trans-Golgi network. Phosphorylation of specific secretory proteins may, therefore, occur in different Golgi compartments.

Abstract
The cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) is the major phosphoprotein secreted by human fibroblasts induced with interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha). We have determined that Ser54 is the predominant site of phosphorylation on the fibroblast-derived IL-6 polypeptide; the amino acid motif surrounding this site is reminiscent of the target site for the Golgi-associated protein (casein) kinase. It has been shown earlier that the IL-6 polypeptide follows the classical secretory pathway where N-linked glycosylation is detectable within the first 15 minutes of labeling with [35S]-methionine and O-linked glycosylation occurs between 15-30 minutes after the start of polypeptide synthesis. Pulse-chase experiments using [32P]-orthophosphate or [35S]-methionine as tracers indicated that phosphorylation of IL-6 occurred prior to its O-glycosylation suggesting that the de novo synthesized IL-6 polypeptide is rapidly, perhaps even cotranslationally, phosphorylated at an intravesicular site (in the endoplasmic reticulum and/or Golgi). When IL-1 alpha-induced fibroblasts were exposed to cycloheximide there was enhancement of the net de novo synthesis and secretion of IL-6 as followed by [35S]-methionine labeling ("superinduction") but the secreted cytokine was no longer phosphorylated as monitored by [32P] labeling. Thus, phosphorylation of the IL-6 polypeptide is not an obligatory requirement for secretion of this cytokine. Furthermore, IL-6 phosphorylation is inhibited by cycloheximide through a mechanism different from the drug's effects on polypeptide synthesis per se.

Abstract
A Ca2+- and Mg(2+)-stimulated adenosine-5'-diphosphatase has been found in lactating bovine mammary glands. The enzyme is associated with membranes of mitochondrial, microsomal, and Golgi apparatus fractions. The pH activity curves for the Golgi apparatus and microsomal fractions display two distinct maxima, one at pH 5.8 and the other between pH 7.4 and 8.4. Studies with activators and inhibitors indicate the enzyme is similar to adenosine-5'-diphosphatase found in other tissues. Its occurrence in the Golgi apparatus fraction indicates a possible role for this enzyme in the milk secretory process, particularly in ATP cycling in vesicles. Its occurrence in the microsomal fraction suggests a role in plasma membrane functioning.

A Ca2+/Mg(2+)-stimulated ADPase has been found to occur in the lactating rat mammary gland. The enzyme is membrane associated and occurs in mitochondrial, microsomal, and Golgi apparatus fractions. The pH activity curves for the Golgi apparatus and microsomal fractions display two distinct maxima, one at pH 6.3 and one at pH 7.4. Studies with inhibitors and activators indicate that the enzyme is similar to ADPases found in other tissues and is distinct from the uridine nucleoside diphosphatase previously reported in the mammary Golgi apparatus. The occurrence of ADPase in the Golgi apparatus indicates a possible role for this enzyme in the milk secretory process, while the microsomal enzyme could be involved in extracellular activities.

Abstract
Calsequestrin is a high-capacity Ca(2+)-binding protein and a major constituent of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Two isoforms of calsequestrin, cardiac and skeletal muscle forms, have been described which are products of separate genes. Purified forms of the two prototypical calsequestrin isoforms, dog cardiac and rabbit fast-twitch skeletal muscle calsequestrins, serve as excellent substrates for casein kinase II and are phosphorylated on distinct sites (Cala, S.E. and Jones, L.R. (1991) J. Biol. Chem 266, 391-398). Dog cardiac calsequestrin is phosphorylated at a 50 to 100-fold greater rate than is rabbit skeletal muscle calsequestrin, and only the dog cardiac isoform contains endogenous Pi on casein kinase II phosphorylation sites. In this study, we identified and examined both calsequestrin isoforms in rat muscle cultures and homogenates to demonstrate that the cardiac isoform of calsequestrin in rat skeletal muscle was phosphorylated in vivo on sites which are phosphorylated by casein kinase II in vitro. Phosphorylation of rat skeletal muscle calsequestrin was not detected. In tissue homogenates, cardiac and skeletal muscle calsequestrin isoforms were both found to be prominent substrates for endogenous casein kinase II activity with cardiac calsequestrin the preferred substrate. In addition, these studies revealed that the cardiac isoform of calsequestrin was the predominant form expressed in skeletal muscle of fetal rats and cultured myotubes.
