Abstract

cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK) forms encoded by the dg2 (for) gene are implicated in behavior and epithelial transport in Drosophila melanogaster. Here, we provide the first biochemical characterization and cellular localization of cGKs encoded by the major transcripts of dg2: dg2P1 and dg2P2. cGMP stimulates kinase activity of DG2P1 (EC(50): 0.13 +/- 0.039 microm) and DG2P2 (EC(50): 0.32 +/- 0.14 microm) in Malpighian tubule and S2 cell extracts. DG2P1 and DG2P2 are magnesium-requiring enzymes and were inhibited by 10 and 100 microm of a cGK inhibitor, 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate, Rp isomer; whereas DG1, the cGK encoded by the D. melanogaster dg1 gene, was unaffected. DG2P1 and DG2P2 were localized in the plasma membrane in S2 cells, whereas DG1 was localized in the cytosol. The D. melanogaster fluid-transporting Malpighian tubule was used as an organotypic model to analyze cGK localization and function in vivo. Targeted expression of DG2P2, DG2P1, and DG1 in tubule cells via the UAS/GAL4 system in transgenic flies revealed differential localization of all three cGKs in vivo: DG2P2 expression at the apical membrane; DG2P1 expression at both the apical and basolateral membranes; and DG...Continue Reading
