Stimulation Of

Stimulation of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-pump activity is achieved by phosphorylation of the oligomeric protein phospholamban at either Ser16 or Thr17. The altered mobility of phosphorylated forms of pentameric phospholamban has been utilized to demonstrate that the mechanisms of phosphorylation of the two sites differ. Phosphorylation of Ser16 by the AMP-dependent protein kinase proceeds via a random mechanism [Li, Wang and Colyer (1990) Biochemistry 29, 4535–4540], whereas phosphorylation of Thr17 by calmodulin-dependent protein kinase is shown here to proceed via a co-operative mechanism. This co-operative reaction mechanism was unaffected by the phosphorylation status of Ser16. These two mechanisms of phosphorylation generate very different phosphoprotein profiles depending on whether the Ser16 or Thr17 residue is phosphorylated. The translation of these patterns of phosphorylation into Ca2+-pump function was reviewed using a fluorimetric Ca2+-indicator dye, fluo-3, to measure Ca2+ uptake by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. The rate of Ca2+ accumulation, which parallels Ca2+-pump activity, was stimulated in proportion with the stoichiometry of phospholamban phosphorylation, irrespective of whether phosphorylation was on Ser16 or Thr17.

The activity of the SERCA2a Ca2+ pump in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of cardiac muscle is inhibited by phospholamban. When phospholamban is phosphorylated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) this inhibition is relieved. It is generally agreed that this results in an increase in the Ca2+ sensitivity of the SR Ca2+ pump; however, some investigators have also reported an increase in the maximum velocity of the pump. We have used a sensitive fluorescence method to measure net Ca2+ uptake by native cardiac SR vesicles and compared the effects of a constitutively active subunit of PKA (cPKA) with those of a monoclonal antibody (A1) that binds to phospholamban and is thought to mimic the effect of phosphorylation. Both the Ca2+ sensitivity and the maximum velocity of uptake were increased by cPKA and by A1. The effects of cPKA and A1 on uptake velocity were only slightly additive. No changes in uptake were detected with denatured cPKA or denatured A1. These results indicate that the functional effect of phospholamban phosphorylation is to increase both the Ca2+ sensitivity and the maximum velocity of net Ca2+ uptake into the SR.

Calcium transport by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was compared in hyperthyroid (HT) and euthyroid (ET) rats. Both Ca2+ uptake (97 +/- 3.1 nmol/mg per min in HT vs. 63 +/- 2.9 nmol/mg per min in ET, P less than 0.01) and CA2+ -stimulated ATPase activity (61 +/- 4.1 vs. 37 +/- 1.6 nmol Pi/mg per min, P less than 0.01) were higher in the thyroxine-treated animals. These changes were accompanied by enhanced cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of cardiac SR in hyperthyroid rats (180 +/- 4.3 pmol Pi/mg per min vs. 117 +/- 4.2 pmol Pi/mg per min, P less than 0.01). SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cardiac SR showed that phosphorylation of a 22,000-dalton protein (phospholamban) primarily accounted for the differences between the two groups. There was no difference in the rate of SR dephosphorylation by endogenous phosphoprotein phosphatase between HT and ET rats. Differences in cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation between the two groups were blunted in the presence of excess exogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. These results suggest that increased levels or activity of endogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases may partially explain enhanced calcium transport by the cardiac SR of hyperthyroid animals.
