ABSTRACT Calmodulin has been identified in parathyroid cells and is thought to play an important role in the production or secretion of parathyroid hormone. However, a detailed investigation of calmodulinbinding proteins in parathyroid glands has not been conducted. In this study, we attempted to determine the presence of calmodulin-binding protein in human parathyroid adenoma by affinity chromatography. The eluted protein from a calmodulin-coupled Sepharose 4B column with EGTA was analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis which revealed a major protein band of Mr 50 000. A Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity was detected at the protein peak using dephosphorylated casein as a substrate. The 50 kDa band was identified as calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-kinase II) by immunoblotting. The substrate specificity, pH dependency and affinity for calmodulin of this enzyme were identical to those of CaM-kinase II from rat brain. Also, the kinase activity was sensitive to KN-62, a specific inhibitor of CaM-kinase II. In total, 0·48 mg of this kinase was purified from 3 g human parathyroid adenoma.

Brain Cytosol

We surveyed rabbit brain cytosol for a new Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase. The renaturation blotting assay (RBA) exploits the ability of blotted SDS-denatured proteins to regain enzymic activity after guanidine treatment. Using RBA, we found that the eluate of rabbit brain cytosol from a CaM affinity column contains at least four electrophoretically distinct protein kinase bands which were autophosphorylated in a Ca2+/CaM-dependent manner. The 49 kDa band and the 60 kDa band were alpha and beta subunit of CaM kinase II, and the 42 kDa band was presumed to be CaM kinase I, but the 80 kDa band could not be attributed to any reported Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinases. The 80 kDa protein kinase was isolated by three-step chromatography. We examined the phosphorylation of exogenous substrates by 80 kDa protein kinase, and histone IIIs and myosin light chain were phosphorylated in a Ca2+/CaM-dependent manner. W-7, a specific inhibitor for calmodulin, inhibited this kinase activity, but KN-62, a specific inhibitor for CaM kinase II, had no effect on this protein kinase activity. Autoradiography using boiled rabbit brain homogenate as substrate showed three intrinsic substrates (80 kDa, 60 kDa and 42 kDa), which were phosphorylated in a Ca2+/CaM-dependent manner. These findings suggest that a new Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase could be identified by the RBA.

The effects of histamine on heart cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity, cAMP levels, phosphorylase activity, and contractile force was investigated in the perfused guinea pig heart. To accurately determine the protein kinase activity ratio in guinea pig heart, it was necessary to measure kinase activity in whole homogenates immediately after homogenization of the tissue. Histamine produced a rapid dose-dependent increase in cAMP and the protein kinase activity ratio followed by increased in contractile force and phosphorylase activity. There was a good correlation between the degree of protein kinase activation and the increase in phosphorylase and force. The beta-adrenergic blocking agent propranolol did not reduce the effects of histamine, but metiamide, a potent H2-receptor antagonist, greatly attenuated all the effects of histamine. The data support the hypothesis that increases in heart cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity produce corresponding increases in contractile force and phosphorylase activity.
