چکیده

We have studied the effects of adenosine 3’:5’-monophosphate (CAMP)-dependent protein kinase on the phosphorylative and functional modification of bovine adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase. Incubation of partially purified tyrosine hydroxylase with CAMP-dependent protein kinase in the presence of [y-32P]ATP and 5 pM CAMP led to a 3to B-fold activation of tyrosine hydroxylase and to incorporation of [32P]phosphate into protein. When tyrosine hydroxylase preparations activated by exposure to enzymatic phosphorylating conditions were analyzed by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and gel electrofocusing, the radioactivity of 32P was coincident with the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase, suggesting incorporation of 32P from [Y-~~P]ATP into tyrosine hydroxylase. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the phosphorylated tyrosine hydroxylase preparation in the presence of 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed that the 60,000-dalton polypeptide subunit of tyrosine hydroxylase served as the phosphate acceptor.

In vitro phosphorylation of bovine adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase by adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase.

We have studied the effects of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase on the phosphorylative and functional modification of bovine adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase. Incubation of partially purified tyrosine hydroxylase with cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the presence of [gamma32P]ATP and 5 micron cAMP led to a 3- to 5-fold activation of tyrosine hydroxylase and to incorpora...

Cholinergic receptor-mediated phosphorylation and activation of tyrosine hydroxylase in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.

We have identified a 56-kilodalton protein in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells that is phosphorylated when catecholamine secretion is stimulated. Immunodetection on Western blots from both one- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels indicated that this protein was tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in catecholamine biosynthesis. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electropho...

Tyrosine hydroxylase: a substrate of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Data demonstrating the direct phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase [tyrosine 3-monooxygenase; L-tyrosine, tetrahydropteridine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating), EC 1.14.16.2] purified from rat pheochromocytoma by ATP, Mg2+ and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit are presented. The incorporation of phosphate is highly correlated with the activation of the hydroxylase w...

Phosphorylation of rat tyrosine hydroxylase and its model peptides in vitro by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

The enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Tyrosine hydroxylase is a substrate for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase as well as other protein kinases. We determined the Km and Vmax of rat pheochromocytoma tyrosine hydroxylase for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and obtained values of 136 microM and 7.1 mumol/m...

Cholinergic regulation of protein phosphorylation in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.

Chromaffin cells were isolated from bovine adrenal medullae and maintained in primary culture. After prelabeling with 32PO4, exposure of the chromaffin cells to acetylcholine increased the phosphorylation of a Mr approximately equal to 100,000 protein and a Mr approximately equal to 60,000 protein (tyrosine hydroxylase), visualized after separation of total cellular proteins in naDodSO4/polyacr...
