Incubation of abdominal ganglia, obtained from Aplysia californica weighing 120--260 g, with octopamine or serotonin led to marked increases in cAMP (cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate) levels after 10 min of incubation; these increases were blocked by phentolamine and methysergide, respectively. Incubation for 21 hr with octopamine also produced an elevation in cAMP levels but prolonged incubation with serotonin did not. Both these amines increased incorporation of 32P or 33P into a specific protein with apparent molecular weight of 118,000, upon incubation with the ganglion for 21 hr. The selective effect on this phosphoprotein was previously shown to be blocked by phentolamine (for octopamine effect) or methysergide (for serotonin effect) and could be mimicked by addition of dibutyryl cAMP to the medium.
Incubation for more than 15 hr was required to generate a stable phosphoprotein pattern in which 5 phosphoprotein peaks could be reliably identified on polyacrylamide gels. With shorter incubations there was marked variability between ganglia with respect to the proteins which incorporated radioactive phosphate. The dibutyryl cAMP effect on phosphorylation of specific protein could not be demonstrated with incubations shorter than 15 hr.
The specific effect on the phosphoprotein with molecular weight 118,000 was not observed in a number of large identified cells removed from the ganglion after 21 hr of incubation with radioactive phosphate and dibutyryl cAMP. The effect was also not observed in connective nerves and the bag cell clusters, but was consistently present in that portion of the ganglion remaining after these dissections. Upon subcellular fractionation the phenomenon was not observed in a crude nuclear fraction but was consistently present in a crude mitochondrial fraction. All these results are consistent with the possibility that the change in phosphoprotein metabolism produced by dibutryl cAMP may be localized in the neuropil, which contains all the synaptic contacts in this ganglion.
