Abstract
Involvement of protein kinases in the stimulation of cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity by orthovanadate (vanadate) was studied. When the fat pads were incubated with 2 mM vanadate or 10 nM insulin, the stimulation of myelin basic protein kinase (MBPK) activity in the particulate by vanadate reached a maximum at 60 min. In contrast, insulin showed a transient increase at 20 min. A 60-min incubation of the fat pads with vanadate stimulated all activities of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK), MBPK, and PDE in the particulate, in a similar dose-dependent manner. Amiloride, a PTK inhibitor, inhibited the stimulations of three enzymes by vanadate in a similar concentration range. Enzyme fractions, which were separated from the solubilized particulate, were subjected to the immunoblot analysis. A fraction of MBPK was identified to contain a major protein of mol wt (44K) and a minor one (42K), both of which are immunoreactive with a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) antibody. The partially purified PDE activity was stimulated by the addition of the partially purified MBPK. The further stimulation was observed with the PTK-activated MBPK. These results suggest that vanadate stimulates in part the PDE activity through the activation of the particulate MBPK, probably MAPKs, by PTK sensitive to vanadate.
