Beta-adrenergic-regulated phosphorylation of the skeletal muscle Ca(V)1.1 channel in the fight-or-flight response. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2010; 107:18712-7.

Abstract
Ca(V)1 channels initiate excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal and cardiac muscle. During the fight-or-flight response, epinephrine released by the adrenal medulla and norepinephrine released from sympathetic nerves increase muscle contractility by activation of the β-adrenergic receptor/cAMP-dependent protein kinase pathway and up-regulation of Ca(V)1 channels in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Although the physiological mechanism of this pathway is well defined, the molecular mechanism and the sites of protein phosphorylation required for Ca(V)1 channel regulation are unknown. To identify the regulatory sites of phosphorylation under physiologically relevant conditions, Ca(V)1.1 channels were purified from skeletal muscle and sites of phosphorylation on the α1 subunit were identified by mass spectrometry. Two phosphorylation sites were identified in the proximal C-terminal domain, serine 1575 (S1575) and threonine 1579 (T1579), which are conserved in cardiac Ca(V)1.2 channels (S1700 and T1704, respectively). In vitro phosphorylation revealed that Ca(V)1.1-S1575 is a substrate for both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, whereas Ca(V)1.1-T1579 is a substrate for casein kinase 2. Treatment of rabbits with isoproterenol to activate β-adrenergic receptors increased phosphorylation of S1575 in skeletal muscle Ca(V)1.1 channels in vivo, and treatment with propranolol to inhibit β-adrenergic receptors reduced phosphorylation. As S1575 and T1579 in Ca(V)1.1 channels and their homologs in Ca(V)1.2 channels are located at a key regulatory interface between the distal and proximal C-terminal domains, it is likely that phosphorylation of these sites in skeletal and cardiac muscle is directly involved in calcium channel regulation in response to the sympathetic nervous system in the fight-or-flight response.

Abstract
The intracellular mechanisms underlying enhanced myogenic contraction (MC) in coronary resistance arteries (CRAs) from exercise-trained (EX) pigs have not been established. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that exercise-induced alterations in protein kinase C (PKC) signaling underlie enhanced MC. Furthermore, we sought to determine whether modulation of intracellular Ca2+signaling by PKC underlies enhanced MC in EX animals. Male Yucatan miniature swine were treadmill trained ( n = 7) at ∼75% of maximal O2uptake for 16 wk (6 miles/h, 60 min) or remained sedentary (SED, n = 6). Diameter measurements in response to intraluminal pressure (60, 75, and 90 cmH2O) or 60 mM KCl were determined in single, cannulated CRAs (∼100 μm ID) with and without the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine (CE, 1 μM). Confocal imaging of Ca2+signaling [myogenic Ca2+(Cam)] was also performed in CRAs of similar internal diameter after abluminal loading of the Ca2+indicator dye fluo 4 (1 μM, 37°C, 30 min). We observed significantly greater MC in CRAs isolated from EX than from SED animals at 90 cmH2O, as well as greater reductions in MC after CE at all pressures studied. At intraluminal pressures of 75 and 90 cmH2O, CE produced greater decreases in Camin CRAs from EX than from SED animals (64% vs. 25%, P < 0.05). Inhibition of KCl constriction and Camby CE was also greater in EX animals ( P < 0.05). Western blotting revealed significant increases in Ca2+-dependent PKC-α (∼50%) but not Ca2+-independent PKC-ϵ levels in CRAs isolated from EX animals ( P < 0.05). We also observed significant group differences in phosphorylated PKC-α levels. Finally, voltage-gated Ca2+current (VGCC) was effectively blocked by CE, bisindolylmaleimide, and staurosporine in isolated smooth muscle cells from CRAs, providing evidence for a mechanistic link between VGCCs and PKC in our experimental paradigm. These results suggest that enhanced MC in CRAs from EX animals involves PKC-dependent modulation of intracellular Ca2+, including regulation of VGCCs.

Abstract
Limited information is available regarding the effects of protein kinase C (PKC) isozyme(s) in the regulation of L-type Ca(2+) channels due to lack of isozyme-selective modulators. To dissect the role of individual PKC isozymes in the regulation of cardiac Ca(2+) channels, we used the recently developed novel peptide activator of the epsilonPKC, epsilonV1-7, to assess the role of epsilonPKC in the modulation of L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca,L)). Whole cell I(Ca,L) was recorded using patch-clamp technique from rat ventricular myocytes. Intracellular application of epsilonV1-7 (0.1 microM) resulted in a significant inhibition of I(Ca,L) by 27.9 +/- 2.2% (P < 0.01, n = 8) in a voltage-independent manner. The inhibitory effect of epsilonV1-7 on I(Ca,L) was completely prevented by the peptide inhibitor of epsilonPKC, epsilonV1-2 [5.2 +/- 1.7%, not significant (NS), n = 5] but not by the peptide inhibitors of cPKC, alphaC2-4 (31.3 +/- 2.9%, P < 0.01, n = 6) or betaC2-2 plus betaC2-4 (26.1 +/- 2.9%, P < 0.01, n = 5). In addition, the use of a general inhibitor (GF-109203X, 10 microM) of the catalytic activity of PKC also prevented the inhibitory effect of epsilonV1-7 on I(Ca,L) (7.5 +/- 2.1%, NS, n = 6). In conclusion, we show that selective activation of epsilonPKC inhibits the L-type Ca channel in the heart.

Abstract
Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaM kinase IV) is a multifunctional enzyme that is abundantly present in the nuclei of neurons. We report the properties of phosphorylation and activation of CaM kinase IV in comparison to CaM kinase II in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. Phosphorylation and activity of CaM kinase IV as well as CaM kinase II were increased by treatment of neurons either with glutamate or high K(+). Glutamate-induced phosphorylation and activity of CaM kinase IV were blocked by N-methyl-D-asparate (NMDA) antagonists, and NMDA application instead of glutamate did increase CaM kinase IV phosphorylation. CaM kinase IV phosphorylation was also increased by alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA), and was blocked by an inhibitor of NMDA receptor. The AMPA-induced phosphorylation was blocked by tetrodotoxin, a Na(+) channel blocker, that was expected to block endogenous glutamate transmission indirectly. On the other hand, high K(+)-induced phosphorylation and activation were not blocked by inhibitors of glutamate receptors, and effectively blocked by nifedipine, an L-type Ca(2+) channel blocker. These properties were similar between CaM kinase IV and CaM kinase II.

Abstract
(a) Chronic electrostimulation of fast-twitch skeletal muscles makes them resemble slow-twitch muscles. The involvement of second-messenger cascades in this muscle reprogramming is not well understood. The goal of this study was to examine protein kinase activities and calmodulin levels as a function of the duration of electrostimulation. (b) Fast-twitch rabbit muscle was subjected to continuous low-frequency electrostimulation for 2 weeks. The extensor digitorum longus was taken and examined for calmodulin concentration and cAMP-dependent (PKA). Ca(2+)-phospholipid-dependent (PKC) and Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent (CaM kinase or PKB) protein kinase activities. (c) Electrostimulation for 14 days led to a significant increase in total calmodulin level and PKB activity, both rising in the cytosolic fraction. Protein kinase C translocated to the membrane fraction, although total activity did not change. (d) These changes could be related with electrostimulation-induced changes in excitation-contraction coupling.

Abstract
We have expressed the pore-forming alpha1S (skeletal muscle isoform) and alpha1C (cardiac/brain isoform) subunits, as well as the accessory beta2a (cardiac/brain isoform) and alpha2/delta subunits of the L-type, dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium (Ca) channels in Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells (Sf9 cells) by infection with recombinant baculoviruses in order to facilitate biochemical studies of these rare, heteromultimeric membrane proteins. Since the L-type channels are believed to be regulated by protein phosphorylation, this expression system allowed us to investigate which subunits could act as substrates for protein kinase A and C (PKA and PKC) and to determine the potential role of subunit interactions in phosphorylation of the channel proteins. Using purified protein kinases in vitro, the membrane-associated alpha1S, alpha1C, and beta2a subunits were demonstrated to be phosphorylated stoichiometrically by PKA. The extent of phosphorylation of these subunits by PKA was similar whether the subunits were expressed alone or in combination. In addition, the alpha1C and beta2a subunits were phosphorylated stoichiometrically by PKC when expressed individually. In contrast, the alpha1S subunit, when expressed alone, was a poor substrate for PKC, despite the fact that this subunit has been shown to be an excellent substrate for PKC in native skeletal muscle membranes. Interestingly, co-expression of alpha1S with the beta2a subunit restored the ability of the alpha1S subunit to serve as a substrate for PKC. These results strongly suggests that subunit interactions play an important and potentially differential role in channel regulation by PKC, whereas phosphorylation of the same subunit by PKA occurs independent of subunit interaction. Furthermore, our results provide biochemical evidence that, when co-expressed, the alpha1C, alpha1S, and beta2a subunits of L-type Ca2+ channels are excellent substrates for PKA and PKC and support the hypothesis that phosphorylation of each of these subunits may participate in channel regulation by these kinases.

Abstract
Voltage-dependent potentiation of skeletal muscle L-type calcium channels requires phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) that is localized by binding to a cAMP-dependent protein kinase-anchoring protein (AKAP). L-type calcium channels purified from rabbit skeletal muscle contain an endogenous co-purifying protein kinase activity that phosphorylates the alpha1 and beta subunits of the channel. The co-purifying kinase also phosphorylates a known PKA peptide substrate, is stimulated by cAMP, and is inhibited by PKA inhibitor peptide-(5-24), indicating that it is PKA. PKA activity co-immunoprecipitates with the calcium channel, suggesting that the channel and the kinase are physically associated. Using biotinylated type II regulatory subunit of PKA (RII) as a probe, we have identified a 15-kDa RII-binding protein in purified calcium channel preparations, which we have designated AKAP-15. Anti-peptide antibodies directed against the alpha1 subunit of the calcium channel co-immunoprecipitate AKAP-15. Together, these findings demonstrate a physical link between PKA and the calcium channel and suggest that AKAP-15 may mediate their interaction.

Abstract
We have previously shown that two intracellular events which occur during capacitation of bovine sperm are the formation of actin filaments on the plasma and outer acrosomal membranes and the attachment of a PIP2-specific phospholipase C (PLC) to this membrane bound F-actin. This PLC plays an essential role in sperm exocytosis (acrosome reaction). In the present report, we further elucidated the role of this PLC using a PIP2-specific PLC of bacterial origin. This PLC is different from the endogenous sperm PLC in that it is calcium independent and not inhibited by neomycin. Here we report using bovine sperm that this bacterial PLC can restore actin release from extracted membranes as well as membrane fusion in a cell-free assay when the endogenous PLC is inhibited by neomycin. The sperm PLC requires 2 microM calcium for half maximal activation, while half maximal actin release from extracted plasma membranes occurs at 80 microM. Extracted sperm membranes were examined for calcium pumps and channels. Sperm plasma membranes were found to possess a thapsigargin insensitive calcium pump and calcium channels which are opened by phosphorylation by protein kinase C. The acrosomal membrane possesses a calcium pump which is inhibited by thapsigargin and calcium channels which are opened by cAMP. These observations are discussed in terms of a model of acrosomal exocytosis which involves a calcium rise that occurs in two stages resulting from calcium mobilization from internal stores followed by influx of extracellular calcium.

Abstract
We have reported that erythropoietin induces a dose-dependent increase in cytosolic calcium ([Cai]) in single human peripheral blood BFU-E derived erythroblasts which is specific for stage of differentiation and that this increase is modulated by erythropoietin through an ion channel permeable to Ca2+. Here, the role of protein phosphorylation in the increase in intracellular free calcium [Cai] stimulated by erythropoietin was studied with digital video imaging. Preincubation of day 10 erythroblasts with a broad inhibitor of serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases, staurosporine (100 nM), blocked the increase in [Cai] over 20 min following erythropoietin stimulation. However, erythropoietin-induced calcium influx was unaffected by preincubation of cells with specific inhibitions of protein kinase C (calphostin C) or the cAMP- or cGMP-dependent kinases (KT 5720, HA 1004), and [Cai] did not increase following stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or dibutyryl cAMP. These results suggest that neither protein kinase C nor protein kinase A mediate the erythropoietin-induced [Cai] increase. In contrast, preincubation with genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocked the erythropoietin induced increase in [Cai]. To further study calcium entry in erythroblasts, we determined mastoparan, a peptide from wasp venom, induced a dose-dependent rise in [Cai] in erythroblasts which required external calcium. Stimulation of erythroid precursors with 10 microM mastoparan resulted in an increase in [Cai] from 52 +/- 3 nM to 214 +/- 36 nM which peaked at 20 min. The mastoparan-induced [Cai] increase was also dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation since it was blocked by preincubation with genistein. These results demonstrate that both erythropoietin and mastoparan stimulate calcium entry by a mechanism which has a genistein sensitive step and suggest that tyrosine kinase activation is required for the rise in [Cai] to occur.

Abstract
The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in cellular regulation of L-type Ca2+ channels was investigated in human umbilical vein smooth muscle. Activation of PKC, by low concentrations (< 30 nM) of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) caused inhibition of Ca2+ channels, while higher concentrations of TPA (> 100 nM) elicited a transient rise, followed by sustained inhibition of Ca2+ channel activity in cell-attached patches. Low TPA concentrations predominantly reduced channel availability, while high concentrations of TPA (100 nM) transiently increased channel availability and, in addition, prolonged mean open time. The inactive 4-alpha-phorbol-12,13- didecanoate failed to affect channel activity, and pretreatment of the cells with PKC inhibitors (H-7, chelerythrine) antagonized inhibitory and stimulatory effects of TPA. Our results provide evidence for two distinct PKC-dependent mechanisms of L-type Ca2+ channel regulation in smooth muscle.

Abstract
Simultaneous recordings of the tension and intracellular Ca2+ concentration of guinea-pig ileum longitudinal smooth muscle strips, as well as 24Na+ and 45Ca2+ influx measurements in cultured myocytes from the same tissue, were used to investigate the mechanisms underlying angiotensin-induced desensitization and tachyphylaxis. Angiotensin II and [2-lysine]-angiotensin II (Lys2All), incubated for prolonged periods (10 min) with muscle strips, induced fading of the contractile response (desensitization) and reappearance of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration oscillations, which were inhibited during the initial increase in cytosolic Ca2+. The desensitization was paralleled, in cultured myocytes, by inhibition of the 45Ca2+ but not of the 24Na+ influxes which were initially stimulated by the peptides. On the other hand, repeated administrations of angiotensin II (but not of Lys2All) caused gradual reduction of the contractile response and of the 24Na+ influx stimulation evoked by the agonist (tachyphylaxis). Treatment with phorbol 12-13 dibutyrate accelerated the desensitization induced by both angiotensin II and by Lys2All and aggravated the tachyphylaxis to angiotensin II. The results support the hypothesis that activation of protein kinase C is responsible for the desensitization and that tachyphylaxis is due to the slow dissociation of angiotensin II from a postulated Na(+)-dependent regulatory site on the receptor.

Abstract
1. Gastric mucosal calcium channel complex was isolated from the solubilized epithelial cell membranes by affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin. 2. The complex following labeling with [3H]PN200-110 was reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine vesicles which exhibited active 45Ca2+ uptake into intravesicular space as evidenced by La3+ displacement and osmolarity measurements. The 45Ca2+ uptake was independent of sodium and potassium gradients indicating the electroneutral nature of the process. 3. The gastric mucosal channels on epidermal growth factor binding in the presence of ATP responded by an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 and 170 kDa subunits of calcium channel. 4. The phosphorylated channels following reconstitution into vesicles displayed at 48% greater 45Ca2+ uptake, thus indicating the tyrosine kinase involvement in EGF dependent activation of calcium channel. 5. The results point towards the importance of epidermal growth factor in the maintenance of gastric mucosal calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
The calcium channel complex of the parotid was isolated from solubilized acinar-cell membranes by affinity chromatography on wheatgerm agglutinin. The channel, after labelling the calcium antagonist-receptor site with [3H]-PN200-100, was reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine vesicles that exhibited active 45Ca2+ uptake. This uptake was independent of sodium and potassium gradients, indicating its electroneutrality. The channels responded in a dose-dependent manner to the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, PN200-110, which at 0.4 microM exerted a maximal inhibitory effect of 75% on 45Ca2+ uptake; a 46% enhancement in 45Ca2+ uptake occurred with a specific calcium-channel activator, BAY K8644. On epidermal growth-factor (EGF) binding in the presence of ATP, there was an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 and 170 kDa calcium-channel proteins. Such phosphorylated channels, after reconstitution into vesicles, displayed a 61% greater 45Ca2+ uptake, indicating the involvement of tyrosine kinase in EGF-dependent activation of the calcium channel. The results point towards the importance of EGF in the regulation of calcium homeostasis in salivary gland.

Abstract
1. The effect of anti-ulcer agent, sucralfate, on the activity of the gastric mucosal calcium channel was investigated using calcium channels purified from rat gastric epithelial cell membranes. 2. The channels on reconstitution into phosphatidylcholine vesicles responded in a concentration-dependent manner to a calcium channel activator, BAY K8644, as well as to a calcium channel antagonist, PN200-110. The 45Ca2+ uptake was inhibited by sucralfate. Maximum inhibitory effect was attained at 100 micrograms/ml sucralfate, at which point a 52% decrease in the uptake occurred. 3. EGF-induced channel protein phosphorylation showed an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 and 170 kDa proteins, and the vesicles containing the phosphorylated channels displayed a 48% greater 45Ca2+ uptake. This phosphorylation process was inhibited by sucralfate. Furthermore, sucralfate also interfered with the binding of EGF to calcium channel protein. 4. The results indicate that sucralfate protects the cellular integrity from calcium imbalance by modulating the EGF-stimulated gastric mucosal calcium channel phosphorylation.

Abstract
1. Calcium channels, isolated from gastric epithelial cell membranes when reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine vesicles exhibited active 45Ca2+ uptake as evidenced by a dose dependent response to calcium channel activator, BAY K8644, and antagonist, PN200-110. 2. The channels on epidermal growth factor (EGF) binding in the presence of ATP showed an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 and 170 kDa calcium channel proteins. Such phosphorylated channels following reconstitution into the vesicles displayed a 48% greater 45Ca2+ uptake than that of the controls. 3. The binding of EGF to calcium channel protein was inhibited by GM1-ganglioside reaching maximum inhibition of 65% at 40 nM GM1. In contrast, calcium channel antagonist, PN200-110, had no effect on EGF binding. 4. The EGF-stimulated calcium channel protein phosphorylation was inhibited by GM1. This inhibitory effect was mainly reflected in the decrease of tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 and 170 kDa proteins. 5. The results suggest the participation of GM1-ganglioside in the regulation of EGF-stimulated gastric mucosal calcium channel activation.

Abstract
Gastric mucosal calcium channel complex was isolated from the solubilized epithelial cell membranes by affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin. The complex following labeling with [3H]PN200-100 was reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles which exhibited active 45Ca2+ uptake. The channels responded in a dose dependent manner to dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, PN200-110, which at 0.5 microM exerted maximal inhibitory affect of 66% on 45Ca2+ uptake, while a 52% enhancement in 45Ca2+ uptake occurred with a specific calcium channel activator, BAY K8644. On platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) binding in the presence of ATP, channels showed an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 and 170kDa subunits of calcium channel. Such phosphorylated channels following reconstitution into vesicles displayed a 78% greater 45Ca2+ uptake. The results point towards the importance of PDGF in the regulation of gastric mucosal calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
L-Type calcium channel was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with RNAs coding for different cardiac Ca2+ channel subunits, or with total heart RNA. The effects of activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by the phorbol ester PMA (4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) were studied. Currents through channels composed of the main (alpha 1) subunit alone were initially increased and then decreased by PMA. A similar biphasic modulation was observed when the alpha 1 subunit was expressed in combination with alpha 2/delta, beta and/or gamma subunits, and when the channels were expressed following injection of total rat heart RNA. No effects on the voltage dependence of activation were observed. The effects of PMA were blocked by staurosporine, a protein kinase inhibitor. beta subunit moderate the enhancement caused by PMA. We conclude that both enhancement and inhibition of cardiac L-type Ca2+ currents by PKC are mediated via an effect on the alpha 1 subunit, while the beta subunit may play a mild modulatory role.

Abstract
The actions of tumor-promoting phorbol esters in smooth muscle excitation-contraction coupling were studied in isolated guinea pig ileum in the presence of various contractile agents. Muscarinic agonists, histamine and bradykinin elicited an initial transient phasic contraction and a subsequent sustained tonic contraction in guinea pig ileum. The Ca2+ channel antagonist nifedipine selectively inhibited the tonic contraction. Phorbol esters, protein kinase C activators, induced immediate muscle relaxation followed by oscillatory contractions when added during the tonic phase of contraction. Phorbol esters, when added in advance, slightly altered the ligand-induced phasic contraction but converted tonic contractions into oscillatory spikes. The amplitude, frequency and shape of the oscillation induced by phorbol esters were dependent upon the dose of phorbol ester: amplitude was increased and frequency was decreased by increasing the doses of phorbol ester. In contrast, the phorbol ester potentiated the tonic contraction induced by high potassium chloride with little effect on the phasic component. It also sensitized the muscles to Bay K 8644. Bay K 8644, which was ineffective in stimulating muscle contraction at 1 nM, became a very effective stimulator in the presence of the phorbol ester. All of these phorbol ester-induced potentiations and oscillations were sensitive to inhibition by staurosporine or nifedipine. These data suggest that in guinea pig ileum, protein kinase C plays a positive regulatory role in Ca2+ channel activation and promotes a complex regulatory effect on Ca(2+)-mobilizing ligand-stimulated Ca2+ channel activity, which results in oscillatory contractile responses to carbachol, methacholine, histamine and bradykinin.

Abstract
In this study, we report the effect of pertussis toxin pretreatment on dihydropyridine modulation of voltage-sensitive calcium channels in PC12 cells. The rise in intracellular calcium concentration caused by potassium depolarization is not affected significantly by pertussis toxin pretreatment. Nicardipine, a dihydropyridine derivative, added either before or after potassium-induced depolarization, reduces the resultant elevation in cytosolic calcium level both in control and in pertussis toxin-treated cells. The dihydropyridine agonist Bay K 8644, when added before potassium, is able to enhance the potassium-induced spike of cytosolic calcium levels, an effect significantly reduced by pertussis toxin pretreatment. Moreover, the addition of Bay K 8644 after potassium holds the intracellular calcium concentration at a cytosolic sustained level during the slow inactivating phase of depolarization. This effect of Bay K 8644 is inhibited by nicardipine. Pertussis toxin pretreatment slightly weakens the effect of Bay K 8644 when added after potassium-induced depolarization, whereas it significantly reduces the nicardipine inhibition of cytosolic calcium rise stimulated by potassium and Bay K 8644, but not by potassium alone. In conclusion, our findings suggest that a pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide regulatory protein could be involved in the interaction between dihydropyridine derivatives and voltage-dependent calcium channels.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of connexin 32, the major liver gap-junction protein, was studied in purified liver gap junctions and in hepatocytes. In isolated gap junctions, connexin 32 was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK), by protein kinase C (PKC) and by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (Ca2+/CaM-PK II). Connexin 26 was not phosphorylated by these three protein kinases. Phosphopeptide mapping of connexin 32 demonstrated that cAMP-PK and PKC primarily phosphorylated a seryl residue in a peptide termed peptide 1. PKC also phosphorylated seryl residues in additional peptides. CA2+/CaM-PK II phosphorylated serine and to a lesser extent, threonine, at sites different from those phosphorylated by the other two protein kinases. A synthetic peptide PSRKGSGFGHRL-amine (residues 228-239 based on the deduced amino acid sequence of rat connexin 32) was phosphorylated by cAMP-PK and by PKC, with kinetic properties being similar to those for other physiological substrates phosphorylated by these enzymes. Ca2+/CaM-PK II did not phosphorylate the peptide. Phosphopeptide mapping and amino acid sequencing of the phosphorylated synthetic peptide indicated that Ser233 of connexin 32 was present in peptide 1 and was phosphorylated by cAMP-PK or by PKC. In hepatocytes labeled with [32P]orthophosphoric acid, treatment with forskolin or 20-deoxy-20-oxophorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBt) resulted in increased 32P-incorporation into connexin 32. Phosphopeptide mapping and phosphoamino acid analysis showed that a seryl residue in peptide 1 was most prominently phosphorylated under basal conditions. Treatment with forskolin or PDBt stimulated the phosphorylation of peptide 1. PDBt treatment also increased the phosphorylation of seryl residues in several other peptides. PDBt did not affect the cAMP-PK activity in hepatocytes. It has previously been shown that phorbol ester reduces dye coupling in several cell types, however in rat hepatocytes, dye coupling was not reduced by treatment with PDBt. Thus, activation of PKC may have differential effects on junctional permeability in different cell types; one source of this variability may be differences in the sites of phosphorylation in different gap-junction proteins.

Abstract
In synaptosomes prepared from rat cerebral cortex, free cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured using the fluorescent dye fura-2. Incubation of fura-2-loaded synaptosomes with carbachol increased [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner (1-1,000 microM), with a maximum response of 22 +/- 2% at approximately 100 microM and an EC50 (calculated concentration producing 50% of the maximum response) of 30 microM. The effect of carbachol (100 microM) on [Ca2+]i was antagonised by atropine, but not by hexamethonium (10 microM). The calculated concentration of atropine needed for 50% inhibition (IC50) was 260 nM. The rise in [Ca2+]i produced by carbachol was reduced in the absence of extrasynaptosomal Ca2+ and effectively blocked by the L-type calcium channel blocker nifedipine (with an IC50 of 29 nM). The response to carbachol was reduced if the synaptosomes were preincubated with the protein kinase inhibitors H7 [1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2- methylpiperazine] (from 17% in the solvent control to 4%) and staurosporine (from 20% in the solvent control to 3%). These results show that stimulation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in synaptosomes increases [Ca2+]i by protein kinase-dependent activation of 1,4-dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels.

Abstract
Freshly isolated cells of murine thymuses and in vitro cultured murine neuroblastoma cells were seeded into microplates, treated with either phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or dibutyryl-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (DBcAMP), and then processed for enzyme immunoassay to analyze with G4 monoclonal antibody the expression of Thy-1.2 antigen epitope. Pretreatment of thymic cells with PMA resulted in little, if any, decrease of Thy-1 expression, while treatment of these cells with DBcAMP caused a significant down-modulation of the epitope. DBcAMP did not affect binding of another murine IgG antibody to the thymic cells. Modulation of the epitope on thymic cells caused by DBcAMP was dose-dependent with maximal effect seen at the drug concentration of 10(-4) M. However, at various doses of DBcAMP (10(-6) to 10(-3) M) we were unable to detect any significant shift of Thy-1 expression on neuroblastoma cells. Though mechanisms of the above phenomena need further elucidation, we conclude that cellular ELISA may provide a useful alternative to more commonly used cytofluorimetric studies for the analysis of immune cell-surface antigen expression and its pharmacological and physiological modulation.

Abstract
Complementary DNAs for the beta subunit of the dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channel of rabbit skeletal muscle were isolated on the basis of peptide sequences derived from the purified protein. The deduced primary structure is without homology to other known protein sequences and is consistent with the beta subunit being a peripheral membrane protein associated with the cytoplasmic aspect of the sarcolemma. The protein contains sites that might be expected to be preferentially phosphorylated by protein kinase C and guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase. A messenger RNA for this protein appears to be expressed in brain.

Abstract
Secretory chloride channels can be activated by adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase in normal airway epithelial cells but not in cells from individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). In excised, inside-out patches of apical membrane of normal human airway cells and airway cells from three patients with CF, the chloride channels exhibited a characteristic outwardly rectifying current-voltage relation and depolarization-induced activation. Channels from normal tissues were activated by both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C. However, chloride channels from CF patients could not be activated by either kinase. Thus, gating of normal epithelial chloride channels is regulated by both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C, and regulation by both kinases is defective in CF.

Abstract
In both the central and the peripheral nervous systems, impulse activity regulates the expression of a vast number of genes that code for synaptic proteins, including neuropeptides, enzymes involved in neurotransmitter biosynthesis and degradation, and membrane receptors. In recent years, the mechanisms involved in these regulations became amenable to investigation by the methods of recombinant DNA technology. The first part of this review focuses on the activity-dependent control of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor biosynthesis in vertebrate muscle, a model case for the regulation of synaptic protein biosynthesis at the postsynaptic level. The second part summarizes some examples of neuronal proteins whose biosynthesis is under the control of transsynaptic impulse activity. The first, second, and third intracellular messengers involved in membrane-to-gene signaling are discussed, as are possible posttranscriptional control mechanisms. Finally, models are proposed for a role of neuronal activity in the genesis and stabilization of the synapse.
