Preincubation of frog erythrocyte lysates with tumor-promoting phorbol diesters leads to an increase in adenylate cyclase activity. This stimulatory effect of phorbol diesters was specific. Incubation with 12-O-tctradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate led to increases in basal (38%) and isoproterenol- (40%), fluoride- (25%), and Mn-stimulated (68%) adenylate cyclase activities compared with control. The inactive phorbol diesters (4α-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate and β-phorbol) were ineffective in promoting increases in adenylate cyclase activity. The effect of active phorbol diesters was also observed on isolated frog erythrocyte membranes in the absence of cell supernatant, although to a much lesser extent than in the whole lysates. Addition of the cell supernatant or of purified protein kinase C to the membranes maximized the sensitization by the phorbol diesters. These data are consistent with the notion that some component(s) of the adenylate cyclase system is (are) phosphorylated by protein kinase C, resulting in an enhancement of enzyme activity.

Incubation of hepatocytes or the SV40-DNA-immortalized hepatocyte P9 cell line with cholera toxin led to a time-dependent activation of adenylate cyclase activity, which occurred after a defined lag period. When added together with cholera toxin, each of the hormones insulin and vasopressin was capable of attenuating the maximum stimulatory effect achieved by cholera toxin over a period of 60 min through a process which could be blocked by the compounds staurosporine and chelerythrine. Attenuating effects on cholera-toxin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity could also be elicited by using either the protein kinase C (PKC)-stimulating phorbol ester PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) or the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid. Alkaline phosphatase treatment of membranes reversed the inhibitory effect of PMA. Cholera toxin also stimulated the adenylate cyclase activity of intact CHO (Chinese-hamster ovary) and NIH-3T3 cells, but this activity was insensitive to the addition of PMA. Overexpression of various PKC isoforms in CHO cell lines did not confer sensitivity to inhibition by PMA upon cholera-toxin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. Rather, overexpression of the gamma isoform of PKC allowed PMA to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity in CHO cells. It is suggested that the PKC-mediated phosphorylation of a membrane protein attenuates cholera-toxin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in hepatocytes and P9 cells. The cellular selectivity of such an action may be due to the target for this inhibitory action of PKC being a particular isoform of adenylate cyclase which provides the major activity in hepatocytes and P9 cells, but not in either CHO or NIH-3T3 cells.

The effects of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a known activator of protein kinase C, on receptor-mediated stimulation of adenylate cyclase were evaluated in a rat osteosarcoma cell line (UMR-106) with the osteoblast phenotype. Pretreatment of UMR-106 cells with PMA increased parathyroid hormone (PTH)-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and inhibited prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-responsive enzyme activity. In addition, PMA enhanced enzyme activation by forskolin, which is thought to exert a direct stimulatory action on the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase. The regulatory effects of PMA were concentration dependent and of rapid onset (less than or equal to 1 min). Treatment with PMA also resulted in translocation of protein kinase C activity from the cytosol to the particulate cell fraction. Pertussis toxin, which attenuates inhibition of adenylate cyclase mediated by the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (Gi), augmented PTH-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity and reduced the incremental increase in PTH response produced by PMA. The results suggest that activation of protein kinase C increases PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity by actions on Gi and/or the catalytic subunit and decreases PGE2 responsiveness by a mechanism involving the PGE2 receptor.

Phosphorylation Reaction

An immobilized hepatocyte preparation was used to show that both vasopressin and glucagon could desensitize the ability of glucagon to increase intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations. This process was not dependent on any influx of extracellular Ca2+ and was not mediated by any rise in the intracellular level of Ca2+. The protein kinase C-selective inhibitors chelerythrine, staurosporine and calphostin C acted as potent inhibitors of the desensitization process but with various degrees of selectivity regarding their ability to inhibit the desensitizing actions of glucagon and vasopressin. The protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid was just as potent as vasopressin and glucagon in causing desensitization. Treatment of hepatocyte membranes with alkaline phosphatase restored to near control levels the ability of glucagon to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity in membranes from both glucagon- and vasopressin-treated (desensitized) hepatocytes. It is suggested that the desensitization of glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity involves a reversible phosphorylation reaction with the likely target being the glucagon receptor itself.

Activators of protein kinase C, a calcium- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, inhibit vasopressin-stimulated water flow in toad bladder. To determine the biochemical mechanisms of this inhibition, we examined the effects of activators of protein kinase C on arginine vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in cultured rabbit cortical collecting tubular cells. The phorbol ester, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), the diacylglycerol, 1-oleyl-2-acetyl glycerol (OAG), and the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor, R59022, all rapidly activate protein kinase C in collecting tubular cells. Pretreatment with PMA produces a delayed inhibition (greater than or equal to 4 h) of AVP-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. The 4-h time lag suggests that the effects of protein kinase C are mediated indirectly, possibly as a consequence of stimulating cell proliferation. PMA does not inhibit cholera toxin- or forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, suggesting an effect on the vasopressin receptor or coupling of the receptor to the stimulatory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. Neither prostaglandins nor the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein appear to mediate this effect. In contrast, treatment with either OAG or R59022 produces a rapid inhibition of both AVP- and forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity suggesting a prominent distal site of action, presumably at the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase. The results demonstrate that different activators of protein kinase C inhibit AVP-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity by distinctly different mechanisms possibly by altering the substrate specificity or activating multiple forms of the kinase. These results have important implications when using different activators to study the biological effects of protein kinase C.

The influence of protein kinase C (PKC) activation on cyclic AMP production in GH3 cells has been studied. The stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation induced by forskolin and cholera toxin was potentiated by 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu). Moreover, PDBu, which causes attenuation of the maximal response to vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), also induced a small right shift in the dose-response curve for VIP-induced cyclic AMP accumulation. PDBu-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation was unaffected by pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin or the inhibitory muscarinic agonist, oxotremorine. PDBu stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity required the presence of a cytosolic factor which appeared to translocate to the plasma membrane in response to the phorbol ester. The diacylglycerol-generating agents thyroliberin, bombesin and bacterial phospholipase C each stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation, but, unlike PDBu, did not attenuate the stimulation induced by VIP. These results suggest that PKC affects at least two components of the adenylate cyclase complex. Stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation is probably due to modification of the catalytic subunit, whereas attenuation of VIP-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation appears to be due to the phosphorylation of a different site, which may be the VIP receptor.

In many systems, perturbations of membrane architecture by changes of lipid and phospholipid composition have been shown to alter the activity of membrane-bound enzymes. The present studies examined the effect of benzyl alcohol, an agent that has been shown to increase membrane fluidity, on the parathyroid hormone (PTH)-sensitive adenylate cyclase system of canine kidney. Benzyl alcohol progressively increased basal adenylate cyclase activity up to fourfold and maximal enzyme activity in the presence of PTH, GTP, guanylimidodiphosphate, and sodium fluoride by four- to sixfold. In the presence of 20 mM Mn2+ (no Mg2+), conditions under which enzyme activity is devoid of influence of guanine nucleotides or hormones, benzyl alcohol was without effect. PTH binding was increased by 25% in the presence of benzyl alcohol without a change in binding affinity. Fluorescent polarization studies using diphenylhexatriene showed a decrease in fluorescence anisotropy in the presence of benzyl alcohol. The results suggest that benzyl alcohol facilitates the interaction of the components of the adenylate cyclase system, presumably by increasing membrane fluidity. Alterations of membrane fluidity may be a potent means of regulating hormone sensitive adenylate cyclase activity.

The phosphaturic action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is blunted during metabolic acidosis. Previous studies suggest that the activation of renal cortical adenylate cyclase by PTH is decreased under this condition. However, the mechanisms underlying the defect are not completely defined. The present studies were designed to examine the interaction of PTH with its receptor-adenylate cyclase system in basolateral cortical membranes from dogs with metabolic acidosis. Chronic metabolic acidosis was induced in seven normal dogs. Venous blood pH decreased to 7.21 +/- 0.01 and serum bicarbonate to 12.58 +/- 0.32 meq/liter. In seven control dogs blood pH was 7.38 +/- 0.002 and serum bicarbonate was 20.14 +/- 0.26 meq/liter. The kidneys were surgically removed and basolateral membranes were prepared by differential centrifugation and ultracentrifugation in discontinuous sucrose density gradients for studies of adenylate cyclase activity and hormone-receptor binding. Metabolic acidosis resulted in a significant decrease in PTH-dependent adenylate cyclase activity (Vmax 2,119 +/- 150 pmol cAMP X mg prot-1 .30 min-1 vs. 3,548 +/- 116 in the controls). The PTH concentration giving half-maximal activation of adenylate cyclase was unchanged. However, PTH-receptor binding showed similar affinity and binding capacity in both groups of membranes. Basal enzyme activity was also similar. In the presence of the GTP analogue 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate, PTH-dependent adenylate cyclase activity remained markedly decreased in the acidotic dog membranes compared with the controls. The ability of NaF to stimulate enzyme activity was also depressed in the membrane of acidotic dogs. Enzyme activity in the presence of Mn2+ was similar in the two groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
