| Abstract | We have isolated and partially characterized three mutants of the pheochromocytoma line PC12 by using dibutyryl cyclic AMP (cAMP) as a selective agent. Each of these variants, A126-1B2, A208-4, and A208-7, was resistant to both dibutyryl cAMP and cholera toxin when cell growth was measured. In comparison to wild-type PC12 cells, each of these mutants was deficient in the ability to induce ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in response to agents that act via a cAMP-dependent pathway. In contrast, each of these mutants induced ODC in response to nerve growth factor. To understand the nature of the mutations, the cAMP-dependent protein kinases of the wild type and of each of these mutants were studied by measuring both histone kinase activity and 8-N3-[32P]cAMP labeling. Wild-type PC12 cells contained both cAMP-dependent protein kinase type I (cAMP-PKI) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase type II (cAMP-PKII). Regulatory subunits were detected in both soluble and particulate fractions. The mutant A126-1B2 contained near wild-type PC12 levels of cAMP-PKI but greatly reduced levels of cAMP-PKII. Furthermore, when compared with wild-type PC12 cells, this cell line had an altered distribution in ion-exchange chromatography of regulatory subunits of cAMP-PKI and cAMP-PKII. The mutant A208-4 demonstrated wild-type-level binding of 8-N3-[32P]cAMP to both type I and type II regulatory subunits, but only half the wild-type level of type II catalytic activity. The mutant A208-7 had type I and type II catalytic activities equivalent to those in wild-type cells. However, the regulatory subunit of cAMP-PKI occurring in A208-7 demonstrated decreased levels of binding 8-N3-[32P]cAMP in comparison with the wild type. Furthermore, all mutants were defective in their abilities to bind 8-N3-[32P]cAMP to the type II regulatory protein in the particulate fraction. Thus, cAMP-PK was altered in each of these mutants. We conclude that both cAMP-PKI and cAMP-PKII are apparently required to induce ODC in response to increases in cAMP. Finally, since all three mutants induced ODC in response to nerve growth factor, the nerve growth factor-dependent induction of OCD was not mediated by an increase in cAMP that led to an activation of cAMP-PK. These mutants will be useful in the elucidation of the many functions controlled by cAMP and nerve growth factor. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
