The NF1 locus encodes a protein functionally related to mammalian GAP and yeast IRA proteins 总被引:67,自引:0,他引:67
The von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis locus, NF1, encodes a protein with homology restricted to the catalytic region of the RAS GTPase-activating protein, GAP, and with extensive homology to the IRA1 and IRA2 gene products of the yeast S. cerevisiae. A segment of the NF1 cDNA gene, expressed in yeast, can complement loss of IRA function and can inhibit both wild-type and mutant activated human H-ras genes that are coexpressed in yeast. Yeast expressing the NF1 segment have increased H-ras GTPase-stimulating activity. These studies indicate that the NF1 gene product can interact with RAS proteins and demonstrate structural and functional similarities and differences among the GAP, IRA1, IRA2, and NF1 proteins. 相似文献

Gram-negative bacteria assemble a variety of adhesive organelles on their surface, including the thread-like structures known as pili. Recent studies on pilus assembly by the chaperone/usher pathway have revealed new insights into the mechanisms of pilus subunit export into the periplasm and targeting to the outer membrane. Signaling events controlling pilus biogenesis have begun to emerge and investigations of the usher have yielded insights into pilus translocation across the outer membrane. 相似文献

Ramifications of kinetic partitioning on usher-mediated pilus biogenesis. 总被引:15,自引:1,他引:14 下载免费PDF全文
The biogenesis of diverse adhesive structures in a variety of Gram-negative bacterial species is dependent on the chaperone/usher pathway. Very little is known about how the usher protein translocates protein subunits across the outer membrane or how assembly of these adhesive structures occurs. We have discovered several mechanisms by which the usher protein acts to regulate the ordered assembly of type 1 pili, specifically through critical interactions of the chaperone-adhesin complex with the usher. A study of association and dissociation events of chaperone-subunit complexes with the usher in real time using surface plasmon resonance revealed that the chaperone-adhesin complex has the tightest and fastest association with the usher. This suggests that kinetic partitioning of chaperone-adhesin complexes to the usher is a defining factor in tip localization of the adhesin in the pilus. Furthermore, we identified and purified a chaperone-adhesin-usher assembly intermediate that was formed in vivo. Trypsin digestion assays showed that the usher in this complex was in an altered conformation, which was maintained during pilus assembly. The data support a model in which binding of the chaperone-adhesin complex to the usher stabilizes the usher in an assembly-competent conformation and allows initiation of pilus assembly. 相似文献

A conserved alternative splice in the von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF1) gene produces two neurofibromin isoforms, both of which have GTPase-activating protein activity. 总被引:6,自引:3,他引:3 下载免费PDF全文

Sequence analysis has shown significant homology between the catalytic regions of the mammalian ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP), yeast Ira1p and Ira2p (inhibitory regulators of the RAS-cyclic AMP pathway), and neurofibromin, the protein encoded by the NF1 gene. Yeast expression experiments have confirmed that a 381-amino-acid segment of neurofibromin, dubbed the GAP-related domain (GRD), can function as a GAP. Using the RNA polymerase chain reaction with primers flanking the NF1-GRD, we have identified evidence for alternative splicing in this region of the NF1 gene. In addition to the already published sequence (type I), an alternative RNA carrying a 63-nucleotide insertion (type II) is present in all tissues examined, although the relative amounts of types I and II vary. The insertion is conserved across species but is not present in GAP, IRA1, or IRA2. GenBank searches have failed to identify significant similarity between the inserted sequence and known DNA or protein sequences, although the basic amino acid composition of the insertion shares features with nuclear targeting sequences. Expression studies in yeasts show that despite the partial disruption of the neurofibromin-IRA-GAP homology by this insertion, both forms of the NF1-GRD can complement loss of IRA function. In vivo assays designed to compare the GAP activity of the two alternatively spliced forms of the NF1-GRD show that both can increase the conversion of GTP-bound ras to its GDP-bound form, although the insertion of the 21 amino acids weakens this effect. The strong conservation of this alternative splicing suggests that both type I and II isoforms mediate important biological functions of neurofibromin. 相似文献
