Abstract
mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) senses nutrients to mediate anabolic processes within the cell. Exactly how mTORC1 promotes cell growth remains unclear. Here, we identified a novel mTORC1-interacting protein called protein kinase A anchoring protein 8L (AKAP8L). Using biochemical assays, we found that the N-terminal region of AKAP8L binds to mTORC1 in the cytoplasm. Importantly, loss of AKAP8L decreased mTORC1-mediated processes such as translation, cell growth, and cell proliferation. AKAPs anchor protein kinase A (PKA) through PKA regulatory subunits, and we show that AKAP8L can anchor PKA through regulatory subunit Iα. Reintroducing full-length AKAP8L into cells restored mTORC1-regulated processes, whereas reintroduction of AKAP8L missing the N-terminal region that confers the interaction with mTORC1 did not. Our results suggest a multifaceted role for AKAPs in the cell. We conclude that mTORC1 appears to regulate cell growth, perhaps in part through AKAP8L.

Carraro U. Exciting perspectives for Translational Myology in the Abstracts of the 2018Spring PaduaMuscleDays: Giovanni Salviati Memorial - Chapter I - Foreword. Eur J Transl Myol 2018; 28:7363.

Abstract
Myologists working in Padua (Italy) were able to continue a half-century tradition of studies of skeletal muscles, that started with a research on fever, specifically if and how skeletal muscle contribute to it by burning bacterial toxin. Beside main publications in high-impact-factor journals by Padua myologists, I hope to convince readers (and myself) of the relevance of the editing Basic and Applied Myology (BAM), retitled from 2010 European Journal of Translational Myology (EJTM), of the institution of the Interdepartmental Research Center of Myology of the University of Padova (CIR-Myo), and of a long series of International Conferences organized in Euganei Hills and Padova, that is, the PaduaMuscleDays. The 2018Spring PaduaMuscleDays (2018SpPMD), were held in Euganei Hills and Padua (Italy), in March 14-17, and were dedicated to Giovanni Salviati. The main event of the "Giovanni Salviati Memorial", was held in the Aula Guariento, Accademia Galileiana di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti of Padua to honor a beloved friend and excellent scientist 20 years after his premature passing. Using the words of Prof. Nicola Rizzuto, we all share his believe that Giovanni "will be remembered not only for his talent and originality as a biochemist, but also for his unassuming and humanistic personality, a rare quality in highly successful people like Giovanni. The best way to remember such a person is to gather pupils and colleagues, who shared with him the same scientific interests and ask them to discuss recent advances in their own fields, just as Giovanni have liked to do". Since Giovanni's friends sent many abstracts still influenced by their previous collaboration with him, all the Sessions of the 2018SpPMD reflect both to the research aims of Giovanni Salviati and the traditional topics of the PaduaMuscleDays, that is, basics and applications of physical, molecular and cellular strategies to maintain or recover functions of skeletal muscles. The translational researches summarized in the 2018SpPMD Abstracts are at the appropriate high level to attract approval of Ethical Committees, the interest of International Granting Agencies and approval for publication in top quality, international journals. This was true in the past, continues to be true in the present and will be true in the future. All 2018SpPMD Abstracts are indexed at the end of the Chapter IV.

Abstract
The precision of cAMP-responsive events is controlled in part through compartmentalization of the signal transduction machinery. Recent evidence suggests that the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is localized to specific subcellular compartments through association with A Kinase Anchoring Proteins (AKAPs). The AKAPs now represent a functionally related family of regulatory proteins that contain a conserved PKA binding domain and unique targeting sequences that direct the PKA-AKAP complex to subcellular structures. In this review, the recent evidence suggesting that AKAPs facilitate PKA anchoring close to key membrane substrates, such as glutamate receptors, calcium-activated potassium channels, and skeletal or cardiac muscle calcium channels, is surveyed.

Abstract
It is believed that brief, high amplitude Ca2+ transients, as found in fast-twitch muscles, are not sufficient to activate the calcineurin (Cn)-dependent signaling pathway involved in regulation of slow myosin and slow sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase genes (Olson and Williams, Cell 101: 689-692, 2000). The results reported here try to fill the gap between this molecular knowledge, and the still fragmentary pieces of information on a possible different role of calcineurin in the same type of muscles. In the present work calcineurin was determined immunocytochemically by labeling fast- and slow-twitch fibers of representative rabbit muscles with anti-CnB antibodies, and was assessed by western blotting of isolated subcellular fractions. Calcineurin was found to be largely soluble and to be constitutively overexpressed in fast muscle as CnAalpha and CnAbeta isoforms, the latter appearing to be predominant. Particulate calcineurin was not only associated with myofibrils but also with membranes of various origins. Fluorescence microscopy showed that calcineurin was distributed in the same pattern with respect to sarcomeres in both types of fibers, and formed punctate dots spanning the I-Z-I region, rather than being exclusively located at the Z-line, a disposition described for cardiomyocytes (Frey et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 97: 14,632-14,637, 2000). From knowledge that, in mammalian skeletal muscle fibers, junctional triads are located at the A-I band boundary, we explored the distribution of calcineurin between triadic components, after having verified that it was present in very low amounts in dystrophin-enriched sarcolemmal membranes. Our results demonstrate that a small but significant proportion of calcineurin coenriched with transverse tubules (TT), and copurified with the DHPR and with DHPR-associated PKA-AKAP15/18, thus suggesting that it is assembled as a multiprotein complex in the junctional membrane domain of TT. The membrane specificity of this association is further corroborated by the negative evidence for the presence of calcineurin in SR terminal cisternae. Calcineurin was separated from the DHPR and isolated as a AKAP15/18 subcomplex, including beta2 adrenergic receptor, in addition to PKA and calcineurin, following equilibrium centrifugation of detergent extracts on a linear sucrose gradient. We show that the alpha1 subunit skeletal isoform of the DHPR, is a substrate for calcineurin dephosphorylation, after previous phosphorylation by endogenous PKA.

Abstract
A direct binding of HRC (histidine-rich Ca(2+)-binding protein) to triadin, the main transmembrane protein of the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle, seems well supported. Opinions are still divided, however, concerning the triadin domain involved, either the cytoplasmic or the lumenal domain, and the exact role played by Ca(2+), in the protein-to-protein interaction. Further support for colocalization of HRC with triadin cytoplasmic domain is provided here by experiments of mild tryptic digestion of tightly sealed TC vesicles. Accordingly, we show that HRC is preferentially phosphorylated by endogenous CaM K II, anchored to SR membrane on the cytoplasmic side, and not by lumenally located casein kinase 2. We demonstrate that HRC can be isolated as a complex with triadin, following equilibrium sucrose-density centrifugation in the presence of mM Ca(2+). Here, we characterized the COOH-terminal portion of rabbit HRC, expressed and purified as a fusion protein (HRC(569-852)), with respect to Ca(2+)-binding properties, and to the interaction with triadin on blots, as a function of the concentration of Ca(2+). Our results identify the polyglutamic stretch near the COOH terminus, as the Ca(2+)-binding site responsible, both for the acceleration in mobility of HRC on SDS-PAGE in the presence of millimolar concentrations of Ca(2+), and for the enhancement by high Ca(2+) of the interaction between HRC and triadin cytoplasmic segment.

Abstract
Systematic immunological and biochemical studies indicate that the level of expression of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase regulatory protein phospholamban (PLB) in mammalian slow-twitch fibers varies from zero, in the rat, to significant levels in the rabbit, and even higher in humans. The lack of PLB expression in the rat, at the mRNA level, is shown to be exclusive to slow-twitch skeletal muscle, and not to be shared by the heart, thus suggesting a tissue-specific, in addition to a species-specific regulation of PLB. A comparison of sucrose density-purified SR of rat and rabbit slow-twitch muscle, with regard to protein compositional and phosphorylation properties, demonstrates that the biodiversity is two-fold, i.e. (a) in PLB membrane density; and (b) in the ability of membrane-bound Ca(2+)-calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II to phosphorylate both PLB and SERCA2a (slow-twitch isoform of Ca(2+)-ATPase). The basal phosphorylation state of PLB at Thr-17 in isolated SR vesicles from rabbit slow-twitch muscle, colocalization of CaM K II with PLB and SERCA2a at the same membrane domain, and the divergent subcellular distribution of PKA, taken together, seem to argue for a differential heterogeneity in the regulation of Ca(2+) transport between such muscle and heart muscle.

Abstract
The present study documents the binding interaction of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) transmembrane protein triadin with peripheral histidine-rich, Ca(2+)-binding protein (HCP). In addition to providing further evidence that HCP coenriches with RyR1, FKBP-12, triadin and calsequestrin (CS) in sucrose-density-purified TC vesicles, using specific polyclonal antibody, we show it to be expressed as a single protein species, both in fast-twitch and slow-twitch fibers, and to identically localize to the I-band. Colocalization of HCP and triadin at junctional triads is supported by the overlapping staining pattern using monoclonal antibodies to triadin. We show a specific binding interaction between digoxigenin-HCP and triadin, using ligand blot techniques. The importance of this finding is strengthened by the similarities in binding affinity and in Ca2+ dependence, (0.1-1 mM Ca2+) of the interaction of digoxigenin-HCP with immobilized TC vesicles. Suggesting that triadin dually interacts with HCP and with CS, at distinct sites, we have found that triadin-CS interaction in overlays does not require the presence of Ca2+. Consistent with the binding of CS to triadin luminal domain (Guo and Campbell, 1995), we show that binding sites for digoxigenin-CS, although not binding sites for digoxigenin-HCP, can be recovered in the 92 kDa triadin fragment, after chymotryptic cleavage of the NH2-terminal end of the folded molecule in intact TC vesicles. These differential effects form the basis for the hypothesis that HCP anchors to the junctional membrane domain of the SR, through binding to triadin short cytoplasmic domain at the NH2 terminus. Although the function of this interaction, as such, is not well understood, it seems of potential biological interest within the more general context of the structural-functional role of triadin at the triadic junction in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
This review shows that human jaw muscles not only have unique fibre type and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) compositions but also undergo muscle and region-specific changes in fibre composition during ageing. Alterations in the masseter and the lateral pterygoid muscles in the elderly are opposite to those reported for limb and trunk muscles, whereas changes in the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscle resemble those of limb and trunk muscles. We conclude that age-related alterations in fibre type composition and MyHC expression are muscle and region specific, probably reflecting muscular differences in genetic programs and epigenetic influences.

Abstract
alpha-Sarcoglycan is a component of the sarcoglycan complex of dystrophin-associated proteins. Mutations of any of the sarcoglycan genes cause specific forms of muscular dystrophies, collectively termed sarcoglycanopathies. Importantly, a deficiency of any specific sarcoglycan affects the expression of the others. Thus, it appears that the lack of sarcoglycans deprives the muscle cell of an essential, yet unknown function. In the present study, we provide evidence for an ecto-ATPase activity of alpha-sarcoglycan. alpha-Sarcoglycan binds ATP in a Mg2+-dependent and Ca2+-independent manner. The binding is inhibited by 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl ATP and ADP. Sequence analysis reveals the existence of a consensus site for nucleotide binding in the extracellular domain of the protein. An antibody against this sequence inhibits the binding of ATP. A dystrophin.dystrophin-associated protein preparation demonstrates a Mg-ATPase activity that is inhibited by the antibody but not by inhibitors of endo-ATPases. In addition, we demonstrate the presence in the sarcolemmal membrane of a P2X-type purinergic receptor. These data suggest that alpha-sarcoglycan may modulate the activity of P2X receptors by buffering the extracellular ATP concentration. The absence of alpha-sarcoglycan in sarcoglycanopathies leaves elevated the concentration of extracellular ATP and the persistent activation of P2X receptors, leading to intracellular Ca2+ overload and muscle fiber death.

Abstract
Compartmentalization of protein kinases with substrates is a mechanism that may promote specificity of intracellular phosphorylation events. We have cloned a low-molecular weight A-kinase Anchoring Protein, called AKAP18, which targets the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) to the plasma membrane, and permits functional coupling to the L-type calcium channel. Membrane anchoring is mediated by the first 10 amino acids of AKAP18, and involves residues Gly1, Cys4 and Cys5 which are lipid-modified through myristoylation and dual palmitoylation, respectively. Transient transfection of AKAP18 into HEK-293 cells expressing the cardiac L-type Ca2+ channel promoted a 34 9% increase in cAMP-responsive Ca2+ currents. In contrast, a targeting-deficient mutant of AKAP18 had no effect on Ca2+ currents in response to the application of a cAMP analog. Further studies demonstrate that AKAP18 facilitates GLP-1-mediated insulin secretion in a pancreatic beta cell line (RINm5F), suggesting that membrane anchoring of the kinase participates in physiologically relevant cAMP-responsive events that may involve ion channel activation.

Abstract
In order to specify that protein labeling is the result of mono-ADP ribosylation, a careful evaluation of the reaction conditions and products is necessary. To investigate the specificity and target proteins of the arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (mADP-RT) in rabbit skeletal muscle T-tubules (TT) biotin- or digoxigenin-coupled NAD-derivatives were synthesized. They were used for the nonradioactive labeling of proteins and compared with radioactive mono-ADP-ribosylation. According to the results of our studies, they cannot be used as substrates to detect arginine-specific or pertussis toxin-dependent mono-ADP-ribosylation of target proteins in skeletal muscle. In contrast, radioactive NAD can be used to monitor these reactions. Under the appropriate reaction conditions, the radioactive [adenylate-14C]NAD and [32P]NAD were found to be solely consumed by the arginine-specific mADP-RT of skeletal muscle TT. The incorporation studies confirmed earlier data on the localization of the mADP-RT and its targets in TT. The T-tubular targets were purified in a single-step procedure using phenylboronate affinity chromatography. Of 18 target proteins delineated by autoradiography of electrophoretically separated T-tubular proteins, a 42-kDa protein was suggested to be the stimulatory G protein (Gsalpha). Mono-ADP-ribosylation of Gsalpha resulted in an inhibition of the T-tubular adenylate cyclase activity as proven by the suppression of this inhibition using novobiocin as a specific inhibitor of mADP-RT.

Abstract
We have devised a novel procedure, employing Chaps rather than Triton [Costello B., Chadwick C., Saito A., Chu A., Maurer A., Fleischer S. J Cell Biol 1986; 103: 741-753], for obtaining vesiculated derivatives of the junctional face membrane (JFM) domain of isolated terminal cisternae (TC) from fast skeletal muscle of the rabbit. Enriched JFM is minimally contaminated with junctional transverse tubules. The characteristic ultrastructural features and the most essential features of TC function relating to this membrane domain-i.e. both the Ca(2+)-release system and the Ca2+ and calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase (CaM I PK) system-appear to be retained in enriched JFM. We show that our isolation procedure, yielding up to a 2.5-fold enrichment in ryanodine receptor (RyR) protein and in the maximum number of high affinity [3H]-ryanodine binding sites, does not alter the assembly for integral proteins associated with the receptor in its native membrane environment, i.e. FKBP-12, triadin and the structurally related protein junction [Jones L.R., Zhang L., Sanborn K., Jorgensen A., Kelley J. J Biol Chem 1995; 270: 30787-30796] having, in common, the property to bind calsequestrin (CS) in overlays in the presence of EGTA. The substrate specificity of endogenous CaM I PK is also the same as that of parent TC vesicles. Phosphorylation of mainly triadin and of a high M(r) polypeptide, and not of the RyR, is the most remarkable common property. Retention of peripheral proteins, like CS and histidine-rich Ca(2+)-binding protein, although not that endogenous CaM, and of a unique set of CaM-binding proteins, unlike that of junctional SR-specific integral proteins, is shown to be influenced by the concentration of Ca2+ during incubation of TC vesicles with Chaps. Characterization of RyR functional behaviour with [3H]-ryanodine has indicated extensive similarities between the enriched JFM and parent TC vessicles, as far as the characteristic bell shaped Ca(2+)-dependence of [3H]-ryanodine binding and the dose-dependent sensitization to Ca2+ by caffeine, reflecting the inherent properties of SR Ca(2+)-release channel, as well as concerning the stimulation of [3H]-ryanodine binding by increasing concentrations of KCl. Stabilizing the RyR in a maximally active state by optimizing concentrations of KCl (1 M), at also optimal concentrations of Ca2+ (pCa 4), rendered the receptor less sensitive to inhibition by 1 microM CaM, to a greater extent in the case of enriched JFM. That was not accounted for by any significant difference in the IC50 concentrations of CaM varying between 40 nM to approximately 80 nM, at low-intermediate and at high KCl concentrations, respectively. Additional results with enriched JFM using doxorubicin, a pharmacological Ca2+ channel allosteric modifier, strengthen the hypothesis that the conformational state at which RyR is stabilized, according to the experimental assay conditions for [3H]-ryanodine binding, directly influences CaM-sensitivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During myocardial ischemia, the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ promotes the activation of neutral proteases such as calpains. Since the troponin T subunit is a substrate for calpains, we investigated the effects of irreversible myocyte damage on troponin T immunoreactivity. METHODS AND RESULTS Hearts from adult guinea pigs (n=32) were perfused under conditions of normoxia, ischemia, postischemic reperfusion, or Ca2+ paradox. Hearts were frozen and processed for immunohistochemistry and Western blot with three anti-troponin T monoclonal antibodies. Two of these antibodies are unreactive on cryosections of freshly isolated and normoxic hearts and of hearts exposed to 30 minutes of no-flow ischemia. In contrast, reactivity is detected in rare myocytes after 60 minutes of ischemia, in a large population of myocytes after 60 minutes of ischemia followed by 30 minutes of reperfusion, and in every myocyte exposed to Ca2+ paradox. In Western blots, samples from ischemia-reperfusion and Ca2+ overloaded hearts show reactive polypeptides of about 240 to 260 kD and 65 to 66 kD in addition to troponin T. A similar pattern of immunoreactivity is observed with an anti-troponin I antibody. Histochemical troponin T immunoreactivity and reactivity on high-molecular-weight polypeptides are detectable in normal heart samples after preincubation with 10 mmol/L Ca2+ or with transglutaminase, whereas they are not if either transglutaminase or calpain is inhibited. CONCLUSIONS The evolution of the ischemic injury is accompanied by changes in troponin T immunoreactivity as a consequence of the calcium-dependent activation of both calpain proteolysis and transglutaminase cross-linking.

Abstract
Compartmentalization of the type II cyclic AMP-dependent kinase (PKA) is achieved through association of the regulatory subunit (RII) with A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). Using an interaction cloning strategy with RIIalpha as a probe, we have isolated cDNAs encoding a novel 1129-amino acid protein that contains both a PKA binding region and a peroxisome targeting motif. Northern analysis detected mRNAs of 9.7 and 7.3 kb in several rat tissues with the highest levels present in the brain and testis. Western analysis and RII overlay experiments showed that the protein is approximately 220 kDa and was, therefore, named AKAP 220. Immunoprecipitation of AKAP 220 from rat testis extracts resulted in co-purification of the type II PKA holoenzyme. The specific activity of PKA increased 458-fold from 7.2 pmol/min/mg in the cell lysate to 3.3 nmol/min/mg in the immunoprecipitate. Immunohistochemical analysis of rat testicular TM4 cells showed that AKAP 220 and a proportion of RII were co-localized in microbodies that appear to be a subset of peroxisomes. Collectively, these results suggest that AKAP 220 may play a role in targeting type II PKA for cAMP-responsive peroxisomal events.

Abstract
The subcellular distribution of the calmodulin-stimulated plasma-membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) has been studied in rat and rabbit skeletal muscle cells by indirect (calmodulin gel overlays) and direct (Western blotting with specific antibodies) methods. It has also been studied in situ in immunocytochemistry experiments. The distribution of PMCA has been compared with that of the NA+/Ca2+ exchanger and of the dihydropyridine receptor, which has been studied by Western blotting with specific antibodies. Both PMCA and the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger had a dual localization, i.e., they were found in the plasma membrane and in the transverse-tubule fractions of the two main types of skeletal muscles studied. The pump and the exchanger were not diffusely distributed in the transverse-tubule-membrane system, but specifically confined to the membrane domain where the dihydropyridine receptor was also localized, i.e., the junctional membrane. Experiments with isoform-specific antibodies have shown that the pump isoform expressed in skeletal muscle is PMCA 1.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), alongside myofibrillar phenotype, in muscle samples from five Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) patients and five control individuals. DM muscles exhibited as a common feature, a decrease in the slow isoform of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and of troponin C in myofibrils. We observed a match between myofibrillar changes and changes in SR membrane markers specific to fiber type, i.e. the fast (SERCA1) Ca(2+)-ATPase isoform increased concomitantly with a decrease of protein phospholamban (PLB), which in native SR membranes colocalizes with the slow (SERCA2a) SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, and regulates its activity depending on phosphorylation by protein kinases. Our results outline a cellular process selectively affecting slow-twitch fibers, and non-degenerative in nature, since neither the total number of Ca(2+)-pumps or of ryanodine receptor/Ca(2+)-release channels, or their ratio to the dihydropyridine receptor/voltage sensor in junctional transverse tubules, were found to be significantly changed in DM muscle. The only documented, apparently specific molecular changes associated with this process in the SR of DM muscle, are the defective expression of the slow/cardiac isoform of Ca(2+)-binding protein calsequestrin, together with an increased phosphorylation activity of membrane-bound 60 kDa Ca(2+)-calmodulin (CaM) dependent protein kinase. Enhanced phosphorylation of PLB by membrane-bound Ca(2+)-CaM protein kinase also appeared to be most pronounced in biopsy from a patient with a very high CTG expansion, as was the overall 'slow-to-fast' transformation of the same muscle biopsy. Animal studies showed that endogenous Ca(2+)-CaM protein kinase exerts a dual activatory role on SERCA2a SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, i.e. either by direct phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase protein, or mediated by phosphorylation of PLB. Our results seem to be consistent with a maturational-related abnormality and/or with altered modulatory mechanisms of SR Ca(2+)-transport in DM slow-twitch muscle fibers.

Abstract
Calcium overload is a fundamental pathogenic event associated with chronic muscle degeneration in muscular dystrophies. The possibility that L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels were involved in the etiology of chicken muscular dystrophy was investigated by studying the dihydropyridine receptors in transverse tubule membranes isolated from skeletal muscle of normal (line 412) and dystrophic (line 413) chickens. The yield of T-tubular protein from dystrophic muscle was considerably increased compared with that from normal muscle (2.51 +/- 0.18 vs 1.04 +/- 0.31 mg protein x 100 g muscle-1). The binding of the calcium channel antagonist (+) [3H]PN200-110 to the dihydropyridine receptor in transverse tubule preparations was relatively slow, markedly affected by temperature and required divalent cations. (+) [3H]PN200-110 equilibrium binding assays revealed a single class of high-affinity sites and showed that maximum binding capacity (Bmax) (3.17 +/- 0.47 for normal and 3.51 +/- 0.52 pmol x mg protein-1 for dystrophic transverse tubules) and dissociation constant (Kd) (0.32 +/- 0.07 and 0.26 +/- 0.09 nM, respectively) were not significantly different in normal and dystrophic membranes. Kinetic studies indicated that normal and dystrophic transverse tubules did not differ significantly in association (2.54 x 10(6) and 2.27 x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1), respectively) and dissociation (8.5 x 10(-4) and 9.3 x 10(-4)s(-1), respectively) rate constants. Since dissociation kinetics for both preparations were monoexponential under all the experimental conditions employed, no low-affinity binding sites for (+) [3H]PN200-110 could be detected in chicken transverse tubules membranes. However, immunoblot assay, using a monoclonal antibody, revealed that dystrophic transverse tubules as compared with normal membranes were enriched twofold with the alpha 1-subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor. Therefore, although dihydropyridine-binding sites were not altered in transverse tubule membranes from dystrophic chicken skeletal muscle, both the increased yield in T-tubule vesicles and the enhanced immunodetection of the alpha 1-subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor, suggest that total content in dihydropyridine receptor is higher in dystrophic than in normal muscle.

Abstract
Differential localization of the type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is achieved by interaction of the regulatory subunit (RII) with A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs). Anchoring is a likely means to adapt PKA for regulation of cAMP-responsive events through colocalization of the kinase with preferred substrates. Using an interaction cloning strategy with an RII alpha protein probe, we have identified a 655-amino acid protein (named AKAP100). Recombinant AKAP100, expressed in Escherichia coli, binds RII alpha in a solid-phase overlay assay. The cellular and subcellular distribution of AKAP100 was analyzed by various methods. Northern blot analysis with the AKAP100 cDNA as a probe detected an 8-kilobase message in some human tissues including various brain regions; however, the message was predominately expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Anti-AKAP100 antibodies confirmed expression in the rat cardiac and skeletal muscle cell lines, H9c2 and L6P, whereas immunohistochemical analysis revealed that AKAP100 was localized to the sarcoplasmic reticulum of both cell types. RII was also detected in these regions. AKAP100 was detected in preparations of RII purified from L6P cell extracts by cAMP-agarose affinity chromatography. Collectively, these results suggest that AKAP100 functions to maintain the type II PKA at the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle L-type Ca2+ channels respond to trains of brief depolarizations with a strong shift of the voltage dependence of channel activation toward more negative membrane potentials and slowing of channel deactivation. Increased Ca2+ entry resulting from this potentiation of channel activity may increase contractile force in response to tetanic stimuli. This voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel potentiation requires phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) at a rate that suggests that kinase and channel may be maintained in close proximity through kinase anchoring. A peptide derived from the conserved kinase-binding domain of a PKA-anchoring protein (AKAP) prevents potentiation by endogenous PKA as effectively as inhibition of PKA by a specific peptide inhibitor or by omission of ATP from the intracellular solution. In contrast, a proline-substituted mutant of AKAP peptide has no effect. Potentiation in the presence of 2 microM exogenous catalytic subunit of PKA is unaffected, indicating that kinase anchoring is specifically blocked by the AKAP peptide. No effects of these agents were observed on the level or voltage dependence of basal Ca2+ channel activity before potentiation, suggesting that close physical proximity between the skeletal muscle Ca2+ channel and PKA is critical for voltage-dependent potentiation of Ca2+ channel activity but not for basal activity.

Abstract
The precise localization of a membrane-bound, arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (mADP-RT) was assessed in rabbit skeletal muscle by studying membrane fractions isolated by successive sucrose density gradient centrifugations. mADP-RT activity was 10-fold enriched in sarcolemmal and T-tubular membranes. The catalytic activity, determined in preparations with mainly right-side-out vesicles, was found to be on the cytoplasmic face. As revealed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography endogenous mADP-RT activity labeled several proteins in the range between 15 kDa and 250 kDa. T-tubules contained the highest number of [32P]ADP-ribose-labeled proteins.

Abstract
Dystrophin, the protein coded by the gene missing in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is assumed to be a component of the membrane cytoskeleton of skeletal muscle. Like other cytoskeletal proteins in different cell types, dystrophin bound to sarcolemma membranes was found to be phosphorylated by endogenous protein kinases. The phosphorylation of dystrophin was activated by cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, calcium and calmodulin, and was inhibited by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase peptide inhibitor, mastoparan and heparin. These results suggest that membrane-bound dystrophin is a substrate of endogenous cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases, calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase and casein kinase II. The possibility that dystrophin could be phosphorylated by protein kinase C is suggested by the inhibition of phosphorylation by staurosporin. On the other hand dystrophin seems not to be a substrate for protein tyrosine kinases, as shown by the lack of reaction of phosphorylated dystrophin with a monoclonal antiphosphotyrosine antibody. Sequence analysis indicates that dystrophin contains seven potential phosphorylation sites for cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases (all localized in the central rod domain of the molecule) as well as several sites for protein kinase C and casein kinase II. Interestingly, potential sites of phosphorylation by protein kinase C and casein kinase II are located in the proximity of the actin-binding site. These results suggest, by analogy with what has been demonstrated in the case of other cytoskeletal proteins, that the phosphorylation of dystrophin by endogenous protein kinases may modulate both self assembly and interaction of dystrophin with other cytoskeletal proteins in vivo.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum comprises two distinct membrane domains, i.e., the Ca(2+)-pump membrane, corresponding mainly to longitudinal tubules, and the junctional membrane of the terminal cisternae containing the ryanodine receptor/Ca(2+)-release channel. Additional minor proteins previously shown in rabbit fast-twitch skeletal muscle to fractionate selectively to each membrane domain comprise 160- and 53-kDa glycoproteins and 170-kDa low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-binding protein, respectively (Damiani and Margreth, 1991, Biochem. J. 277, 825-832). We report evidence in chicken pectoralis, a predominantly fast muscle, on two closely immunologically related glycoproteins, a minor component of 130-kDa and a major 53-kDa protein. In contrast to the seemingly highly conserved structure of this protein, our results show marked differences in mobilities for chicken 125I-LDL that were detected as a 130- to 116-kDa protein doublet after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, although being otherwise indistinguishable from rabbit 170-kDa protein in LDL-binding characteristics, as well as for preferential association to junctional terminal cisternae. Chicken Ca(2+)-ATPase, although being extensively homologous to rabbit Ca(2+)-ATPase, is shown to be less active and to differ slightly in electrophoretic properties. We have investigated the time course of expression of the specific protein components of longitudinal and of junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum in chick pectoralis muscle from late embryonic development up to 2 months after hatching. Coincident with the posthatching increase in membrane density of high-affinity [3H]ryanodine-binding sites in muscle, both calsequestrin and the species-specific LDL-binding protein(s) are detected in increasing amounts, using ligand blot techniques. In contrast, the appearance and steady accumulation in muscle of Ca(2+)-ATPase, like the time-correlated increase of sarcoplasmic reticulum glycoproteins, are relatively delayed, the most striking changes occurring from 1 week after hatching onward. The sequential expression in chick developing muscle of proteins selectively associated with the junctional terminal cisternae and with longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum, respectively, argues for a similar morphogenetic program in avian and mammalian species and, to account for that, for the existence of common epigenetic differentiating influences on the expression of sarcoplasmic reticulum protein genes.

Abstract
An endogenous protein inhibits the PKA-phosphorylation of the DHP-binding calcium channel complex in vitro. The inhibitory activity could be reduced by a treatment with detergents or dithiothreitol. Further purification separates the inhibitory activity from the dihydropyridine-binding calcium channel complex. Both activities are localized in the plasma membrane indicating that this protein kinase-inhibitor could interfere with the phosphorylation of the calcium channel by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The inhibitory activity may therefore take part in the regulation of the calcium channel current.

Abstract
Isolated skeletal muscle triads contain a compartmentalized glycolytic reaction sequence catalyzed by aldolase, triosephosphate isomerase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and phosphoglycerate kinase. These enzymes express activity in the structure-associated state leading to synthesis of ATP in the triadic junction upon supply of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate or fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. ATP formation occurs transiently and appears to be kinetically compartmentalized, i.e., the synthesized ATP is not in equilibrium with the bulk ATP. The apparent rate constants of the aldolase and the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoglycerate kinase reaction are significantly increased when fructose 1,6-bisphosphate instead of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is employed as substrate. The observations suggest that fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is especially effectively channelled into the junctional gap. The amplitude of the ATP transient is decreasing with increasing free [Ca2+] in the range of 1 nM to 30 microM. In the presence of fluoride, the ATP transient is significantly enhanced and its declining phase is substantially retarded. This observation suggests utilization of endogenously synthesized ATP in part by structure associated protein kinases and phosphatases which is confirmed by the detection of phosphorylated triadic proteins after gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Endogenous protein kinases phosphorylate proteins of apparent Mr 450,000, 180,000, 160,000, 145,000, 135,000, 90,000, 54,000, 51,000, and 20,000, respectively. Some of these phosphorylated polypeptides are in the Mr range of known phosphoproteins involved in excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal muscle, which might give a first hint at the functional importance of the sequential glycolytic reactions compartmentalized in triads.

Abstract
Skeletal-muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) comprises two distinct domains, corresponding to the free membrane of longitudinal SR (LSR) and the junctional membrane region of the terminal cisternae (TC), respectively. The junctional membrane contains the ryanodine receptor (RyR)/Ca(2+)-release channel and additional minor protein components that still require biochemical investigation, in relation to excitation-contraction coupling. Recent findings suggested the involvement in this process of a 170 kDa protein [Kim, Caswell, Talvenheimo & Brandt (1990) Biochemistry 29, 9281-9289], also characterized as a phosphoprotein in junctional TC in independent studies [Chu, Submilla, Inesi, Jay & Campbell (1990) Biochemistry 29, 5899-5905]. We show that this protein is a specific substrate of exogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, that it is exposed to the outer surface of intact TC vesicles, and that it co-localizes with the RyR to the junctional membrane. Comparative analysis of LSR and TC subfractions for the 160 kDa glycoprotein sarcalumenin, using Western-blot techniques and specific monoclonal antibodies or concanavalin A as a ligand, revealed that the distribution of this protein within the SR corresponds inversely to both that of the RyR and of the 170 kDa protein. The 170 kDa protein, like sarcalumenin, stains blue with the cationic dye Stains-All and binds 45Ca2+ on blots, but it is uniquely distinguished by its ability to bind 125I-labelled low-density lipoprotein. The similarity of these properties, as well as the pI and solubility properties, to those described for the SR protein, recently purified and cloned and named histidine-rich Ca(2+)-binding protein [HCP; Hofmann, Brown, Lee, Pathak, Anderson & Goldstein (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 8260-8270], makes it very likely that our protein and HCP may indeed be identical. The protein described in the present study differs from sarcalumenin because its migration in SDS/PAGE is accelerated in the presence of Ca2+, a previously reported property of other Ca(2+)-binding proteins [leMaire, Lund, Viel, Champeil & Moller (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 1111-1123], arguing for Ca(2+)-induced protein-conformational changes. Kinase-dependent phosphorylation of our protein is another distinguishing feature, which, although not previously reported for HCP, is consistent with the presence of potential serine/threonine phosphorylation sites in the middle portion of the cloned HCP molecule. The finding that HCP, contrary to early views, selectively binds to the cytoplasmic side of the junctional membrane, together with its newly characterized properties, seem to provide new clues as to a possible role in electromechanical coupling and/or Ca2+ release.

Abstract
The actions of several hormones and neurotransmitters evoke signal transduction pathways which rapidly elevate the cytosolic concentrations of the intracellular messengers, cAMP and cGMP. The cyclic-nucleotide dependent protein kinases, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), are the major intracellular receptors of cAMP and cGMP. These enzymes become active upon binding respective cyclic nucleotides and modulate a diverse array of biochemical events through the phosphorylation of specific substrate proteins. The focus of this review is to describe the progress made in understanding the structure and function of both PKA and PKG.

Abstract
Minor protein components of triads and of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) terminal cisternae (TC), i.e. 47 and 37 kDa peptides and 31-30 kDa and 26-25 kDa peptide doublets, were identified from their ability to bind 125I calsequestrin (CS) in the presence of EGTA. The CS-binding peptides are specifically associated with the junctional membrane of TC, since they could not be detected in junctional transverse tubules and in longitudinal SR fragments. The 31-30 kDa peptide doublet, exclusively, did not bind CS in the presence of Ca2+. Thus, different types of protein-protein interactions appear to be involved in selective binding of CS to junctional TC.
