Cell cycle-specific activity of type I and type II cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinases in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
Types I and II cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinases have been studied during the cell cycle of Chinese hamster ovary cells. Chinese hamster ovary cells were synchronized by selective detachment of mitotic cells from monolayer cultures. Protein kinases were separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and were similar to the types of cAMP-dependent protein kinases studied in skeletal muscle and in heart extracts. The total amount of protein kinases activity per cell was substantial, both in mitosis and at the G1/S boundary. During mitosis, the relatively high activity of protein kinase was due to a predominance of type I protein kinase. During early G1, the activity of type I protein kinase decreased and there was little detectable type II activity. A rapid increase in the activity of type II was evident at the G1/S boundary. The administration of puromycin (50 mug/ml) from 1 to 5 hours after selective detachment of mitotic cells abolished the activity of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase seen at the G1/S border, but had no observable effect on the activity of type I protein kinase. The data presented demonstrate cell cycle-specific activity patterns of type I and type II protein kinase Type I protein kinase activity is high in mitosis and is constant throughout the cell cycle. Increased type II protein kinase activity seems to be related to the initiation of DNA synthesis in S phase. The data suggest a translational control of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity.
