| Research Abstract |
Existence of A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) in parotid glands (PGs)
1. Membrane proteins including Na^+, K^+-ATPase and Na^+-K^+-2Cl^- cotransporter in isolated basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMVs) were phosphorylated by membrane-bound protein kinase A (PKA) in the presence of cAMP, suggesting the involvement of AKAPs in these phosphorylations.
2. mRNAs and proteins of AKAP-150 were detected in PGs significantly by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, whereas AKAP-95 and AKAP-220 were less.
3. AKAP-150 of BLMVs was co-immunoprecipitated with the RII subunit by anti-RII antibody. These results indicate that AKAP-150 in BLMVs is functional and associated with the endogenous RII subunit.
Phosphorylation of Na^+, K^+-ATPase via AKAP/PKA complex
1. Inhibition of the RII binding to AKAP by HT-31 peptide resulted in a decrease in membrane-bound PKA-dependent phosphorylation of Na^+, K^+-ATPase.
2. Phosphorylation of Na^+, K^+-ATPase by the AKAP/PKA was associated with a decrease in the Na^+, K^+

Mechanism of phosphorylation of Na^+-K^+-2Cl^- cotransporter N-terminus via cAMP/PKA pathway
1. Bumetanide-sensitive Na^+-K^+-2Cl^- cotransport activity in rat PG acini was upregulated with isoproterenol. The increase in its activity was accompanied by phosphorylation of the Na^+-K^+-2Cl^- cotransporter protein and by an increase in the number of high affinity bumetanide building sites.
2. The phosphorylation site of Na^+-K^+-2Cl^- cotransporter was on its N-terminus by isoproterenol-stimulation of acinar cells.
3. N-terminus phosphorylation never occurred by in vitro incubation of the Na^+-K^+-2Cl^- cotransporter in BLM preparation with exogenous PKA or AKAP/PKA, and neither its activity nor its bumetanide binding were changed.
4. When acinar cells were mildly permeabilized with digitonin, N-terminus of the Na^+-K^+-2Cl^- cotransporter was clearly phosphorylated upon the addition of cAMP. These results indicated that Na^+-K^+-2Cl^- cotransporter was regulated by the phosphorylation on its N-terminus and that PKA did not directly phosphorylate the cotransporter N-terminus but via protein phosphorylation cascade triggered by PKA.
