The role of regucalcin in the regulation of protein kinase activity in rat brain neuronal cells obtained from primary culture was investigated. Protein kinase activity was assayed using the 5500 g supernatant fraction of the cell homogenate. Protein kinase activity was significantly raised by the addition of calmodulin (5 mug/ml) or dioctanoylglycerol (5 mug/ml) in the presence of CaCl2 (10(-4) M), indicating that Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C is present in the neuronal cells. The addition of regucalcin (10(-9)-10(-7) M) in the enzyme reaction mixture caused a significant decrease in protein kinase activity in the absence of calmodulin or dioctanoylglycerol without Ca2+ addition. Moreover, regucalcin completely prevented the activation of protein kinase by the addition of calmodulin or dioctonoylglyceral in the presence of CaCl2 (10(-4) M). The presence of anti-regucalcin monoclonal antibody (25 or 50 ng/ml) caused a significant elevation of protein kinase activity without CaCl2, addition. Such an effect was significantly inhibited by the addition of trifluoperazine (2X10(-5) M), an antagonist of calmodulin, or staurosporine (10(-6) M), an inhibitor of protein kinase C. The present study demonstrates that endogenous regucalcin in rat brain neuronal cells has an inhibitory effect on Ca2+-dependent protein kinase activity. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
