CK2 is a pleiotropic constitutively active serine/threonine protein kinase composed of two catalytic α- and two regulatory β-subunits, whose regulation is still not well understood. It seems to play an essential role in regulation of many cellular processes. Four active forms of CK2, composed of αα'ββ', α2ββ', α'2ββ', and a free α'-subunit were isolated from wild-type yeast and strains containing a single deletion of the catalytic subunit. Each species exhibits properties typical for CK2, but they differ in substrate specificity and sensitivity to inhibitors. This suggests that each CK2 isomer may regulate different process or may differ in the way of its regulation.

Chromosome segregation during meiosis is a complex process, which leads to production of four haploid gametes from two precursor cells. Reversible phosphorylation of proteins plays a crucial role in this process. The Schizosaccharomyces pombe Prp4 is an essential serine/threonine protein kinase, which belongs to the Clk/Sty family. To study the role of Prp4 in meiosis, we analysed chromosome segregation in a strain carrying conditional analog-sensitive allele of Prp4 protein kinase (prp4-as2). Our data show, that Prp4 protein kinase plays important role in chromosome segregation during meiosis, as revealed by enhanced missegregation of chromosomes in prp4-as2 mutant cells.

Cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase (PKA) from Pichia pastoris yeast cells was found to be activated by either cAMP or cGMP. Analogs of cAMP such as 8-chloro-cAMP and 8-bromo-cAMP were as potent as cAMP in PKA activation while N6,2'-O-dibutyryl-cAMP did not stimulate the enzyme activity. It was shown that protamine sulfate was almost equally phosphorylated in the presence of 1-2 × 10-6 M cAMP or cGMP while other substrates such as Kemptide, ribosomal protein S6, were phosphorylated to a lower extent in the presence of cGMP. It was demonstrated that pyruvate kinase is a substrate of PKA which co-purified with the P. pastoris enzyme. Moreover, pyruvate kinase was phosphorylated by PKA in the presence of cAMP and cGMP to comparable levels.

Thymidylate synthase purified from 5-fluoro-dUrd-resistant mouse leukemia L1210 cells (TSr) was less sensitive to slow-binding inhibition by 5-fluoro-dUMP than the enzyme from the parental cells (TSp), both enzyme forms differing also in sensitivity to several other dump analogues, apparent molecular weights of monomer and dimer, and temperature dependence of the catalyzed reaction. Direct sequencing of products obtained from RT-PCR, performed on total RNA isolated from the parental and 5-fluoro-dUrd-resistant cells, proved both nucleotide sequences to be identical to the mouse thymidylate synthase coding sequence published earlier (NCBI protein database access no. NP_067263). This suggests that the altered properties of TSr are caused by a factor different than protein mutation, presumably posttranslational modification. As a possibility of rat thymidylate synthase phosphorylation has been recently demonstrated (Samsonoff et al. (1997) J Biol Chem 272: 13281), the mouse enzyme amino-acid sequence was analysed, revealing several potential phosphorylation sites. In order to test possible influence of the protein phosphorylation state on enzymatic properties, endogenous TSp and TSr were purified in the presence of inhibitors of phosphatases. Although both enzyme forms were phosphorylated, as shown by electrophoretical separation followed by phosphoprotein detection, the extent of phosphorylation was apparently similar. However, the same two purified enzyme preparations, compared to the corresponding preparations purified in the absence of phosphatase inhibitors, showed certain properties, including sensitivity to the slow-binding inhibition by FdUMP, altered. Thus properties dependence on phosphorylation was indicated.

It was found that wild type yeast Pichia pastoris can tolerate vanadate concentration as high as 25 mM in the growth medium. Moreover, four vanadate-resistant P. pastoris strains designated JC100/1, JC100/3, JC100/9 and JC100/15 exhibiting tolerance up to 150 mM vanadate were selected. Growth of P. pastoris was correlated with vanadate to vanadyl reduction and its accumulation in the growth medium. In two selected strains, JC100/9 and JC100/15, protein kinase A activity was much higher in comparison to the wild type strain even without vanadate addition to the growth medium. Moreover, in the presence of vanadate, protein kinase A activity was significantly increased in the wild type and the vanadate-resistant JC100/1 and JC100/3 strains. It was also found that phosphorylation of a 40 kDa protein associated with ribosomes occured in all vanadate-resistant strains from the logarithmic, while in the wild type strain from the stationary growth phase. From the presented results it can be concluded that a protein kinase A signalling pathway(s) might be involved in the mechanism of P. pastoris vanadate resistance. The results also indicate a possible role of the 40 kDa protein in protection of P. pastoris against vanadate toxicity.

Protein kinases tightly associated with chick embryo brain ribosomes washed with Triton X-100 and KCl were characterized by their ability to phosphorylate ribosomes and two exogenous substrates, histone IIA and casein. c-AMP-dependent kinase (PKA) and casein kinases (CK1, CK2) were examined in the presence of specific modulators by SDS/ PAGE followed by  renaturation in gel assay according to Kameshita & Fujisawa (Anal. Biochem. 1989, 183, 139-143). Basing on these data it can be presumed that PKA activity increases, but the levels of CK2 and CK1 decrease during chick embryo development.

Yeast CK2 is a highly conserved member of the protein kinase CGMC subfamily composed of two catalytic (α and α') and two regulatory (β and β') subunits. The amino-acid sequences of both catalytic subunits are only 60% homologous. Modelling of the tertiary structure of the CK2α displays additional α-helical structures not present in the CK2α' subunit, connecting the ATP-binding loop with the catalytic and activation loops. Deletion of this part causes drastic structural and enzymatic changes of the protein (CK2αΔ91-128) with characteristics similar to yeast CK2α' (low sensitivity to salt, heparin and spermine). Additionally, the deletion causes an over 5-fold decrease of the binding affinity for ATP and ATP-competitive inhibitors (TBBt and TBBz). The structural basis for TBBt and TBBz selectivity is provided by the hydrophobic pocket adjacent to the ATP/GTP binding site, which is smaller in CK2 than in the majority of other protein kinases. The importance of hydrophobic interactions in the binding of specific inhibitors was investigated here by mutational analysis of CK2α residues whose side chains contribute to reducing the size of the hydrophobic pocket. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to replace Val67 and Ile213 by Ala. The kinetic properties of the single mutants CK2αVal67Ala and CK2αIle213Ala, and the double mutant CK2Val67Ala Ile213Ala were studied with respect to ATP, and both inhibitors TBBt and TBBz. The Km values for ATP did not change or were very close to those of the parental kinase. In contrast, all CK2α mutants analysed displayed higher Ki values towards the inhibitors (10 to 12-fold higher with TBBt and 3 to 6-fold with TBBt) comparing to recombinant wild-type CK2α.
