Title: Effects of atrial natriuretic peptide, angiotensin, cyclic AMP, and potassium on protein phosphorylation in adrenal glomerulosa cells

Journal Article · · Life Sci.; (United States)

Bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells were incubated with /sup 32/PO/sub 4/ and angiotensin II (AII), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) (rat(8-33)), N/sup 6/,O/sup 2'/-dibutyryl cyclic AMP, or elevated potassium. Solubilized cells were analyzed by one-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, autoradiography, and laser densitometry. AII and dibutyryl cyclic AMO increased labeling of 17.6 kd protein. Elevated potassium did not alter labeling of this protein. ANP inhibited labeling, whether basal or stimulated by AII, and to a lesser extent that stimulated by dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Similar dose-response curves were obtained for the effect of AII on labeling of the 17.6 Kd band and on aldosterone synthesis; ANP had a similar inhibitory effect on AII-stimulated phosphorylation and aldosterone synthesis. Effects of AII and ANP were apparent after 15 minutes of hormone treatment. Fractionation of labeled cells showed that the 17.6 Kd protein was not in cytosol, mitochondria, or endoplasmic reticulum, but was enriched in a crude nuclear fraction. These results suggest AII and ANP affect aldosterone synthesis at the level of protein phosphorylation. 30 references, 5 figures, 1 table
