Merlin (moesin-ezrin-radixin like protein), the product of neurofibromatosis type 2 gene, was primarily recognized as a tumor suppressor, but it also functions as a membrane-cytoskeletal linker and regulator of multiple signaling pathways. The activity and localization of merlin is regulated by head to tail folding that is controlled by phosphorylation of the Ser518 side chain. Merlin localizes in the nucleus when the Ser518 side chain is not phosphorylated, while the phosphorylated form is present in the cytoplasm and the plasma membrane. In this work interactions and their impact on the subcellular localization and phosphorylation state of the Ser518 side chain of merlin were investigated in endothelial cells. It is shown that merlin (dephospho-Ser518 form) interacts in the nucleus of endothelial cells with the scaffolding protein EBP50, a member of the Na+/H+exchanger regulatory factor family. Upon EBP50 depletion, merlin translocated from the nucleus, suggesting that binding of merlin to EBP50 is critical in the nuclear localization of merlin. Along with the translocation, the phosphorylation level of phospho-Ser518-merlin was increased in EBP50 depleted cells. TIMAP (TGFβ-inhibited membrane-associated protein), a type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1) regulatory subunit, was newly recognized as an interacting partner for merlin. Domain mapping using truncated mutant forms in GST pull down revealed that the N-terminal half of TIMAP (aa 1-290) and the FERM domain of merlin are the regions responsible for the interaction.The catalytic subunit of PP1 (PP1c) was present in all merlin-TIMAP pull down or immunoprecipitation samples demonstrating that merlin actually interacts with the PP1c-TIMAP holoenzyme. On the other hand, from TIMAP depleted cells, without its targeting protein, PP1c could not bind to merlin. Also, when the phosphatase activity of PP1c-TIMAP was inhibited either with depletion of TIMAP or by treatment of the cells with specific PP1 inhibitor, there was an increase in the amount of phospho-Ser518 form of merlin in the membrane of the cells. These data strongly suggest that the PP1c-TIMAP- complex dephosphorylates phospho-Ser518-merlin. ECIS measurements indicate that phospho-merlin accelerates in vitro wound healing of the endothelial monolayer.In conclusion, in endothelial cells, EBP50 is required for the nuclear localization of merlin and the PP1c-TIMAP holoenzyme plays an important role in the dephosphorylation of merlin on its Ser518 side chain, which influence cell migration and proliferation. 相似文献

Roundabout 1 (Robo1) is the cognate receptor for secreted axon guidance molecule, Slits, which function to direct cellular migration during neuronal development and angiogenesis. The Slit2–Robo1 signaling is modulated by heparan sulfate, a sulfated linear polysaccharide that is abundantly expressed on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. Biochemical studies have further shown that heparan sulfate binds to both Slit2 and Robo1 facilitating the ligand–receptor interaction. The structural requirements for heparan sulfate interaction with Robo1 remain unknown. In this report, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy was used to examine the interaction between Robo1 and heparin and other GAGs and determined that heparin binds to Robo1 with an affinity of ∼650 nM. SPR solution competition studies with chemically modified heparins further determined that although all sulfo groups on heparin are important for the Robo1–heparin interaction, the N-sulfo and 6-O-sulfo groups are essential for the Robo1–heparin binding. Examination of differently sized heparin oligosaccharides and different GAGs also demonstrated that Robo1 prefers to bind full-length heparin chains and that GAGs with higher sulfation levels show increased Robo1 binding affinities. 相似文献

Chk2 is a key player of the DNA damage signalling pathway. To identify new regulators of this kinase, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen and found that Chk2 associated with the B' regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase PP2A. In vitro GST-Chk2 pulldowns demonstrated that B'gamma isoforms bound to Chk2 with the strongest apparent affinity. This was confirmed in cellulo by co-immunoprecipitation after overexpression of the respective partners in HEK293 cells. The A and C subunits of PP2A were present in the complexes, suggesting that Chk2 was associated with a functionnal PP2A. In vitro kinase assays showed that B'gamma3 was a potent Chk2 substrate. This phosphorylation increased the catalytic phosphatase activity of PP2A measured on MAP kinase-phosphorylated myelin basic protein as well as on autophosphorylated Chk2. Finally, we demonstrated that overexpressing B'gamma3 in HEK293 suppressed the phosphorylation of Chk2 induced by a genotoxic treatment, suggesting that PP2A may counteract the action of the checkpoint kinase in living cells. 相似文献

CPI-17 is a protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) inhibitor that has been shown to act on the myosin light chain phosphatase. CPI-17 is phosphorylated on Thr-38 in vivo, thus enhancing its ability to inhibit PP1. Thr-38 has been shown to be the target of several protein kinases in vitro. Originally, the expression of CPI-17 was proposed to be smooth muscle specific. However, it has recently been found in platelets and we show in this report that it is endogenously phosphorylated in brain on Ser-128 in a domain unique to CPI-17. Ser-128 is within a consensus phosphorylation site for protein kinase A (PKA) and calcium calmodulin kinase II. However, these two kinases do not phosphorylate Ser-128 in vitro but phosphorylate Ser-130 and Thr-38, respectively. The kinase responsible for Ser-128 phosphorylation remains to be identified. CPI-17 has strong sequence similarity with PHI-1 (which is also a phosphatase inhibitor) and LimK-2 kinase. The novel in vivo and in vitro phosphorylation sites (serines 128 and 130) are in a region/domain unique to CPI-17, suggesting a specific interaction domain that is regulated by phosphorylation. 相似文献

Rhythmic changes in the expression of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) were investigated during hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) induced differentiation of murine erythroleukaemic (MEL) cells. Cell extracts were analysed by SDS-PAGE and western immunoblotting using specific antibodies. An immunospecific band of molecular mass 36 kDa (catalytic subunit) was detected for PP1. For PP2A, two immunospecific bands of 32 kDa (proteolytically cleaved catalytic subunit) and 36 kDa (catalytic subunit) were observed. Comparisons of proliferating and differentiating cells using only one time point showed no significant differences between mean values for the expression of the PP1 or PP2A enzyme proteins. This kind of analysis, implying that HMBA had little effect, proved misleading, as comparisons using multiple time points showed rhythmic patterns of protein expression which were modulated by the differentiating agent. The effects were complex affecting both the frequency and phasing of rhythms. The results add further support for the view that live cells are multi-oscillators and for the concept that differentiation depends on changes in temporal organization of complex autodynamic feedback loops and multiple interactions between control circuits performing in parallel. In particular, modulation of the dynamics of key proteins, such as PP1 and PP2A, may be a possible mechanism for controlling cellular function and reversing transformation in accordance with long standing theoretical and other experimental data. 相似文献

Ribosomal protein S6 (rpS6) is a critical component of the 40 S ribosomal subunit that mediates translation initiation at the 5'-m(7)GpppG cap of mRNA. In response to mitogenic stimuli, rpS6 undergoes ordered C-terminal phosphorylation by p70 S6 kinases and p90 ribosomal S6 kinases on four conserved Ser residues (Ser-235, Ser-236, Ser-240, and Ser-244) whose modification potentiates rpS6 cap binding activity. A fifth site, Ser-247, is also known to be phosphorylated, but its function and regulation are not well characterized. In this study, we employed phospho-specific antibodies to show that Ser-247 is a target of the casein kinase 1 (CK1) family of protein kinases. CK1-dependent phosphorylation of Ser-247 was induced by mitogenic stimuli and required prior phosphorylation of upstream S6 kinase/ribosomal S6 kinase residues. CK1-mediated phosphorylation of Ser-247 also enhanced the phosphorylation of upstream sites, which implies that bidirectional synergy between C-terminal phospho-residues is required to sustain rpS6 phosphorylation. Consistent with this idea, CK1-dependent phosphorylation of rpS6 promotes its association with the mRNA cap-binding complex in vitro. Additionally, we show that protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) antagonizes rpS6 C terminus phosphorylation and cap binding in intact cells. These findings further our understanding of rpS6 phospho-regulation and define a direct link between CK1 and translation initiation. 相似文献

SHP‐1 belongs to the family of non‐receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and generally acts as a negative regulator in a variety of cellular signaling pathways. Previously, the crystal structures of the tail‐truncated SHP‐1 and SHP‐2 revealed an autoinhibitory conformation. To understand the regulatory mechanism of SHP‐1, we have determined the crystal structure of the full‐length SHP‐1 at 3.1 Å. Although the tail was disordered in current structure, the huge conformational rearrangement of the N‐SH2 domain and the incorporation of sulfate ions into the ligand‐binding site of each domain indicate that the SHP‐1 is in the open conformation. The N‐SH2 domain in current structure is shifted away from the active site of the PTP domain to the other side of the C‐SH2 domain, resulting in exposure of the active site. Meanwhile, the C‐SH2 domain is twisted anticlockwise by about 110°. In addition, a set of new interactions between two SH2 domains and between the N‐SH2 and the catalytic domains is identified, which could be responsible for the stabilization of SHP‐1 in the open conformation. Based on the structural comparison, a model for the activation of SHP‐1 is proposed. J. Cell. Biochem. 112: 2062–2071, 2011. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Reversible protein phosphorylation of serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues by protein kinases and phosphatases is important for the regulation of cellular signal transduction and controls many cellular functions. Disturbances in this regulation have been implicated in a growing number of diseases, making kinases and phosphatases useful targets for therapeutic intervention. The suitability of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology has been widely demonstrated in many drug discovery applications. A novel and straightforward methodology is presented for analyzing small molecule binding to two serine/threonine phosphatases, PP1 and PP2B (calcineurin), and to the prototypic tyrosine phosphatase, PTP1B. Emphasis was placed on investigating the immobilization conditions of the phosphatases by using reducing conditions, inhibitors and metal ions. A comparison of inhibitor binding, either to phosphatase (PP2B) alone or in complex with the regulatory protein subunit calmodulin, revealed different kinetics. The methodology was also used to test inhibitor specificity toward different phosphatases. Inhibition of regulatory protein PP-inhibitor-2 binding to PP1 by a small molecule inhibitor was demonstrated. This type of information, together with data on compound binding that is independent of enzyme activity and in which affinities are resolved into kinetic rate constants, may be of great significance for the development of highly specific and high-affinity phosphatase inhibitors. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a major negative regulator in insulin- and leptin-signaling cascades as well as a positive regulator in tumorigenesis, and much attention has been paid to PTP1B inhibitors as potential therapies for diabetes, obesity, and cancer. In the present study, the screening of a compound library of licorice flavonoids allowed for the discovery of several compounds, including licoagrone (3), licoagrodin (4), licoagroaurone (5), and isobavachalcone (6), as new PTP1B inhibitors. It was revealed that these compounds inhibit the activity of PTP1B in different modes and with different selectivities and that they exhibit different cellular activity in the insulin-signaling pathway. Glycybenzofuran (1), a competitive PTP1B inhibitor, showed both excellent inhibitory selectivity against PTP1B and cellular activity on the insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation level. The similarity of its action profiling in the insulin-signaling pathway suggested its potential as a new anti-insulin-resistant drug candidate. 相似文献

Serine/threonine protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) regulates multiple cellular processes. Protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation is largely altered during ischemia and subsequent reperfusion. The brain is particularly vulnerable to stress resulting from ischemia-reperfusion (IR), however, the acquisition of ischemic tolerance (IT) protects against IR stress. We studied PP1 complexes in response to IR stress and IT in brain using proteomic characterization of PP1 complexes in animal models of IR and IT. PP1alpha and PP1gamma were immunoprecipitated and resolved by 2-D. DIGE analysis detected 14 different PP1-interacting proteins that exhibited significant changes in their association with PP1alpha or PP1gamma. These proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Seven had the PP1-binding RVxF motif. IR altered the interaction of heat shock cognate 71 kDa-protein, creatine kinase B, and dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein 32 kDa (DARPP32) with both PP1alpha and PP1gamma, and the interaction of phosphodiesterase-6B, transitional ER ATPase, lamin-A, glucose-regulated 78 kDa-protein, dihydropyrimidinase-related protein-2, gamma-enolase, neurofilament-L, and ubiquitin ligase SIAH2 with PP1gamma. IT prevented most of the IR-induced effects. This study identifies novel PP1alpha- and PP1gamma-interacting proteins and reveals an in vivo modularity of PP1 holoenzymes in response to physiological ischemic stress. It supports a potential role of PP1 in IR stress and as a target of the endogenous protective mechanisms induced by IT. 相似文献

Leishmaniasis is one of the most neglected diseases with high morbidity and mortality rate. Severe side effects with existing drug and lack of proper vaccine encouraged us to design alternative models to combat the disease. We showed that PP1 of Leishmania donovani mediates immunomodulation in host macrophages needed for parasite survival. Therefore, it is of interest to report the molecular docking analysis of 512 isoflavone derivatives with the phosphatase 1 protein from Leishmania donovani to highlight compound 362 (5-hydroxy-5-{9-[2-methoxy-2-(2-methylfuran-3-yl) ethyl]-1H, 3H, 4H, 10bH-pyrano[4,3-c]chromen-3-yl}pentanoic acid) having good binding features and acceptable ADMET properties for further consideration. 相似文献

Four new caged xanthones (1–4) and two known compounds (5, 6) were isolated from the roots of Cratoxylum cochinchinense, a polyphenol rich plant, collected in China. The structures of the isolated compounds (1–6) were characterized by obtaining their detailed spectroscopic data. In particular, compounds 1 and 6 were fully identified by X-ray crystallographic data. The isolated compounds (1–6) were evaluated against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), which plays an important role in diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Among these compounds, 3, 4, and 6 displayed significant inhibition with IC50 values of 76.3, 43.2, and 6.6 µM, respectively. A detailed kinetic study was conducted by determining Km, Vmax, and the ratio of Kik and Kiv, which revealed that all the compounds behaved as competitive inhibitors. 相似文献

The adsorption of BSA and fibrinogen onto plasma-polymerized di-(ethylene glycol) vinyl ether, allylamine, and maleic anhydride films were investigated in detail by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR). The chemical properties of the plasma polymers were initially determined by the plasma deposition conditions during the generation procedure. The analysis of the chemical structure of the films and the refractive index of plasma polymers in aqueous solution was carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and waveguide mode spectroscopy, respectively. Using water contact angle measurement, the surface wettability of plasma polymers was also characterized. These properties have a critical influence on the behavior of protein adsorption on the surface of the plasma polymers. Protein adsorption was found to depend not only on the types of functionalized groups, but also on the plasma polymer thickness since the protein molecules penetrate into the plasma polymer network bulk. According to the size of protein molecules in aqueous solution and the amount of adsorbed proteins observed by SPR, the conformational changes of proteins could be deduced. 相似文献

In this paper, specific PHO13 alkaline phosphatase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was demonstrated to possess phosphoprotein phosphatase activity on the phosphoseryl proteins histone II-A and casein. The enzyme is a monomeric protein with molecular mass of 60 kDa and hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl phosphate with maximal activity at pH 8.2 with strong dependence on Mg2+ ions and an apparent Km of 3.6×10−5 M. No other substrates tested except phosphorylated histone II-A and casein were hydrolyzed at any significant rate. These data suggest that the physiological role of the p-nitrophenyl phosphate-specific phosphatase may involve participation in reversible protein phosphorylation. 相似文献

The E7 protein produced by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) induces a degradation of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor RB through direct interaction, which suggests that an inhibitor for the interaction can be a potential anticancer drug. A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging-based protein array chip was developed for the high-throughput screening of inhibitor molecules targeting RB-E7 interaction. The glutathione S-transferase-fused E7 protein (GST-E7) was first layered onto a glutathionylated gold chip surface that had been designed to specifically bind to GST-fused proteins. Subsequently, a microarrayer was used to spot the hexa-histidine-tagged RB proteins (His(6)-RB) onto the GST-E7-layered gold chip surface, and the resulting SPR image was analyzed. Upon increased His(6)-RB concentration in the spotting solution, the SPR signal intensity increased proportionally, indicating that His(6)-RB bound to GST-E7 in a concentration-dependent manner. The His(6)-RB/GST-E7 interaction was challenged by spotting the His(6)-RB solution in the presence of a RB binding peptide (PepC) derived from a motif on E7. The SPR imaging data showed that PepC inhibited the His(6)-RB/GST-E7 interaction in a concentration-dependent manner. Our results show that the SPR imaging-based protein array chip can be applied to screen small molecule inhibitors that target protein-protein interaction. 相似文献

Identification and domain mapping of Dictyostelium discoideum type-1 protein phosphatase inhibitor-2
The protein phosphatase type-1 catalytic subunit (PP1c) does not exist freely in the cell and its activity must be very strictly controlled. Several protein inhibitors of PP1c have been described including the classical mammalian inhibitor-1 (I-1) and inhibitor-2 (I-2). Association of these inhibitors with PP1c appears to involve multiple contacts and in the case of I-2 no less than five I-2 interaction subdomains have been proposed. In this report, we provide both in vitro and in vivo evidence that the Dictyostelium discoideum genome encodes a protein (DdI-2) that is an ortholog of mammalian I-2, being the first PP1c interacting protein characterized in this social amoeba. Despite the low overall sequence similarity of DdI-2 with other I-2 sequences and its long N-terminal extension, the five PP1c interaction motifs proposed for mammalian I-2 are reasonably conserved in the Dictyostelium ortholog. We demonstrate that DdI-2 interacts with and inhibits D. discoideum PP1c (DdPP1c), which we have previously characterized. Moreover, using yeast two-hybrid assays we show that a stable interaction of DdI-2 with DdPP1c requires multiple contacts. 相似文献

Water channel proteins, known as aquaporins, are transmembrane proteins that mediate osmotic water permeability. In a previous study, we found that acetazolamide could inhibit osmotic water transportation across Xenopus oocytes by blocking the function of aquaporin-1 (AQP1). The purpose of the current study was to confirm the effect of acetazolamide on water osmotic permeability using the human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells transfected with pEGFP/AQP1 and to investigate the interaction between acetazolamide and AQP1. The fluorescence intensity of HEK293 cells transfected with pEGFP/AQP1, which corresponds to the cell volume when the cells swell in a hyposmotic solution, was recorded under confocal laser fluorescence microscopy. The osmotic water permeability was assessed by the change in the ratio of cell fluorescence to certain cell area. Acetazolamide, at concentrations of 1 and 10muM, inhibited the osmotic water permeability in HEK293 cells transfected with pEGFP/AQP1. The direct binding between acetazolamide and AQP1 was detected by surface plasmon resonance. AQP1 was prepared from rat red blood cells and immobilized on a CM5 chip. The binding assay showed that acetazolamide could directly interact with AQP1. This study demonstrated that acetazolamide inhibited osmotic water permeability through interaction with AQP1. 相似文献

Protein phosphorylation, regulated by protein kinases and protein phosphatases, is crucial for protein structure and function in eukaryotic organisms. Type 2C protein phosphatase (PP2C) belongs to the serine/threonine phosphatase family and its activities require the presence of a divalent magnesium or manganese ion. In the present study, a potential PP2C phosphatase (SjPtc1) was identified in Schistosoma japonicum. The SjPTC1 gene was found to be highly expressed in adult worms. A recombinant SjPtc1 protein showed typical PP2C phosphatase activity. Heterologous SjPTC1 expression reversed the sensitivity of yeast ptc1 null mutants toward H2O2, ZnCl2, cisplatin, and rapamycin. Collectively, the results suggest that SjPtc1 may take part in the regulation of cellular responses to oxidative stress, DNA damage stress, and the TOR (target of rapamycin) signaling pathway. 相似文献
