Dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels from skeletal muscle are multisubunit proteins and are regulated by protein phosphorylation. The purpose of this study was to determine: 1) which subunits are the preferential targets of various protein kinases when the channels are phosphorylated in vitro in their native membrane-bound state and 2) the consequences of these phosphorylations in functional assays. Using as substrates channels present in purified transverse (T) tubule membranes, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), and a multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM protein kinase) preferentially phosphorylated the 165-kDa alpha 1 subunit to an extent that was 2-5-fold greater than the 52-kDa beta subunit. A protein kinase endogenous to the skeletal muscle membranes preferentially phosphorylated the beta peptide and showed little activity toward the alpha 1 subunit; however, the extent of phosphorylation was low. Reconstitution of partially purified channels into liposomes was used to determine the functional consequences of phosphorylation by these kinases. Phosphorylation of channels by PKA or PKC resulted in an activation of the channels that was observed as increases in both the rate and extent of Ca2+ influx. However, phosphorylation of channels by either the CaM protein kinase or the endogenous kinase in T-tubule membranes was without effect. Phosphorylation did not affect the sensitivities of the channels toward the dihydropyridines. Taken together, the results demonstrate that the alpha 1 subunit is the preferred substrate of PKA, PKC, and CaM protein kinase when the channels are phosphorylated in the membrane-bound state and that phosphorylation of the channels by PKA and PKC, but not by CaM protein kinase or an endogenous T-tubule membrane protein kinase, results in activation of the dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels from skeletal muscle.
