Distribution of membrane-bound cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in plasma membranes of cells of the kidney cortex

Distribution of membrane-bound cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in plasma membranes of cells of the kidney cortex

Abstract

Renal cortical plasms membranes were separated by free flow electrophoresis into luminal (brush border microvilli) and contraluminal (basal-lateral membrane) fractions. These membranes were found to contain an intrinsic, self-phosphorylating system which consists of a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, a phosphorprotein phosphatase and the substrate(s) of these enzymes. The kinase, but not the phosphatase, was stimulated by cyclic AMP; maximal (1.7-fold) stimulation was effected at a cyclic AMP concentration of 0.1 muM. The degree of phosphorylation of the brush borders was six times greater than that of the basal-lateral membranes in the absence of cyclic AMP and 2.3-fold greater in the presence of cyclic AMP. This preferential phosphorylation of the luminal membrane by membrane-associated protein kinase(s) may play a role in the parathyroid hormone-mediated alterations of solute reabsorption in the proximal tubule.
