Most members of the type-2 phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP2) superfamily are integral membrane phophatases involved in lipid-related signal transduction and metabolism. Here we describe the cloning of a novel gene from Geobacillus toebii T-85, encoding a PAP2-like protein, Gtb PAP2L2, which contains 212 amino acids and shows a limited homology to other known PAP2s, especially at conserved phosphatase motifs, and a similar six-transmembrane topology structure. This enzyme was expressed, and purified in Escherichia coli. Recombinant Gtb PAP2L2s from the membrane fractions were solublized with 0.3% (v/v) Triton X-100 and purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme showed broad substrate specificity to phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol pyrophosphate, and lysophosphatidic, but preferred phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol pyrophosphate in vitro. Gtb PAP2L2 is a thermal stable enzyme with a half-life of 30 min at 60 °C. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by 1% SDS, 10 mM veranda, and Zn2+, whereas it was independent of the Mg2+ ion, and insensitive to N-ethylmaleimide. The purified recombinant Gtb PAP2L2 was catalytically active and highly stable, making it ideal as a candidate on which to base further PAP2 structure/function studies. 相似文献

The microsomal phosphatidate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.4) in maturing seeds of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) was specific and selective for unsaturated phosphatidates. The relative order of specificity for phosphatidate molecular species was 1,2-dilinoleoyl = 1,2-dioleoyl > 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl > 1,2-dilauroyl = 1,2-dimyristoyl > 1,2-dipalmitoyl. The order of selectivity was similar to that of the specificity. The broad selectivity for unsaturated phosphatidate species (1,2-di-unsaturated-acyl and 1-saturated-acyl-2-unsaturatedacyl) led us to conclude that the phosphatidate-phosphatase reaction does not, or only very little, affect the fatty-acid composition of the diacylglycerol product and in turn the fatty-acid composition of triacylglycerol in safflower oil. As compared with the safflower microsomal enzyme, the chloroplast phosphatidate phosphatase of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves showed a broader specificity. This agreed with the selectivity profile indicated by labelling patterns of phosphatidate and diacylglycerol synthesized from [14C]acetate in spinach chloroplasts (S.E. Gardiner et al. 1984, Biochem. J. 224, 637–643).Abbreviations BSA

Phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) converts phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol, thus regulating the de novo synthesis of glycerolipids and also signal transduction mediated by phospholipase D. We initially succeeded in the cDNA cloning of the mouse 35 kDa PAP bound to plasma membranes (type 2 enzyme). This work subsequently led us to the identification of two human PAP isozymes designated 2a and 2b. A third human PAP isozyme (2c) has also been described. The cloned enzymes are, in common, N-glycosylated and possess six transmembrane domains. The transmembrane dispositions of these enzymes are predicted and the catalytic sites are tentatively located in the 2nd and 3rd extracellular loops, thus suggesting that the type 2 PAPs may act as ecto-enzymes dephosphorylating exogenous substrates. Furthermore, the type 2 PAPs have been proposed to belong to a novel phosphatase superfamily consisting of a number of soluble and membrane-bound enzymes. In vitro enzyme assays show that the type 2 PAPs can dephosphorylate lyso-phosphatidate, ceramide-1-phosphate, sphingosine-1-phosphate and diacylglycerol pyrophosphate. Although the physiological implications of such a broad substrate specificity need to be further investigated, the type 2 PAPs appear to metabolize a wide range of lipid mediators derived from both glycero- and sphingolipids. 相似文献

Metabolic pathways for diacylglycerol biosynthesis and release in the midgut of larval Manduca sexta
The pathway for the synthesis of diacylglycerol in larval Manduca sexta midgut was studied. Fifth instar larvae were fed with [9,10–3H]–oleic acid–labeled triolein and the incorporation of the label into lipid intermediates was analyzed as a function of time. The results showed that the triacylglycerol was hydrolyzed to fatty acids and glycerol in the midgut lumen. In midgut tissue, the labeled fatty acids were rapidly incorporated into phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol, but no significant labeling of monoacylglycerol was observed. Dual-labeling experiments were performed in order to characterize the kinetics of diacylglycerol biosynthesis in the midgut, its incorporation into hemolymph lipophorin and its clearance from hemolymph. The results were best described by a model in which the rate-limiting step in diacylglycerol biosynthesis was the uptake of fatty acid from the lumen of the midgut. Once in the cell the fatty acid was rapidly incorporated in phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol. Diacylglycerol was converted to triacylglycerol or exported into hemolymph. The interconversion of diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol was fairly rapid, suggesting that triacylglycerol serves as a reservoir from which diacylglycerol can be produced. This mechanism permits the cell to maintain a low steady-state concentration of diacylglycerol and yet efficiently absorb fatty acids from the lumen of the midgut. 相似文献

To examine the involvement of diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) and phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) in pressure overloaded cardiac hypertrophy, rats were subjected to either ascending aortic banding for 3, 7, and 28 days or sham operation. In comparison with sham-operated rats, the left ventricular (LV) weight of the aortic-banded rats increased progressively. At 28 days after surgery, the expression of DGKepsilon mRNA but not DGKzeta or PAP2b mRNA in the LV myocardium significantly decreased in the aortic-banded rats compared with the sham-operated rats. DGKzeta protein in the LV myocardium translocated from the particulate to the cytosolic compartment in the aortic-banded rats. Furthermore, the myocardial content of 1,2-diacylglycerol and PKCdelta protein expression in the particulate fraction of the LV myocardium significantly increased in aortic-banded rats compared with sham-operated rats. These results suggest that DGKepsilon and DGKzeta play distinct roles in the development of pressure overloaded cardiac hypertrophy and that the two isozymes are differentially regulated. 相似文献

Phosphatidic acid phosphatase is a fat-regulating enzyme that plays a major role in controlling the balance of phosphatidic
acid (substrate) and diacylglycerol (product), which are lipid precursors used for the synthesis of membrane phospholipids
and triacylglycerol. Phosphatidic acid is also a signaling molecule that triggers phospholipid synthesis gene expression,
membrane expansion, secretion, and endocytosis. While this important enzyme has been known for several decades, its gene was
only identified recently from yeast. This discovery showed the importance of phosphatidic acid phosphatase in lipid metabolism
in yeast as well as in higher eukaryotes including humans. 相似文献

The origin of diacylglycerol, a substrate for membrane lipid biosynthesis, is not fully understood. Here, we report that Petunia hybrida floral organs contain large amounts of diacylglycerol. Our data suggest that in stamens and pistils diacylglycerol is supplied both from phosphatidylcholine by non-specific phospholipase C activity and de novo via the Kennedy pathway and phosphatidic acid phosphatase, whereas in petals the two-step pathway catalyzed by phospholipase D and phosphatidic acid phosphatase predominates. Therefore, the pathways that supply diacylglycerol differ among floral reproductive organs, although large amounts of diacylglycerol are commonly accumulated in these organs. 相似文献

Microsomal preparations from developing linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) cotyledons catalyzed i) acyl exchange between acyl-CoA and position 2 of sn-phosphatidylcholine, ii) acylation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to yield phosphatidic acid, and iii) the utilisation of phosphatidic acid in the production of diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol. Selectivity studies for C18 acyl species of acyl-CoA indicated a bias for the channelling of oleate to phosphatidylcholine for, presumably, its desaturation, and the utilisation of the polyunsaturated fatty-acid products in the acyl-CoA pool for phosphatidic acid and subsequent triacylglycerol synthesis. The microsomal preparations were capable of returning glycerol backbone with associated acyl components to phosphatidylcholine from diacylglycerol where it may be further enriched with polyunsaturated C18 acids by desaturation. The acyl quality in linolenate-rich oilseeds appears to be under similar control to that found in linoleate-rich species.

Lipin 2 is a phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) responsible for the penultimate step of triglyceride synthesis and dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid (PA) to generate diacylglycerol. The lipin family of PA phosphatases is composed of lipins 1–3, which are members of the conserved haloacid dehalogenase superfamily. Although genetic alteration of LPIN2 in humans is known to cause Majeed syndrome, little is known about the biochemical regulation of its PAP activity. Here, in an attempt to gain a better general understanding of the biochemical nature of lipin 2, we have performed kinetic and phosphorylation analyses. We provide evidence that lipin 2, like lipin 1, binds PA via the electrostatic hydrogen bond switch mechanism but has a lower rate of catalysis. Like lipin 1, lipin 2 is highly phosphorylated, and we identified 15 phosphosites. However, unlike lipin 1, the phosphorylation of lipin 2 is not induced by insulin signaling nor is it sensitive to inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin. Importantly, phosphorylation of lipin 2 does not negatively regulate either membrane binding or PAP activity. This suggests that lipin 2 functions as a constitutively active PA phosphatase in stark contrast to the high degree of phosphorylation-mediated regulation of lipin 1. This knowledge of lipin 2 regulation is important for a deeper understanding of how the lipin family functions with respect to lipid synthesis and, more generally, as an example of how the membrane environment around PA can influence its effector proteins. 相似文献

Summary
Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomic clones that encode calmodulin-binding proteins were isolated by screening a λgt11 expression library using125I-labeled calmodulin as probe. Among the cloned yeast genes, we found two closely related genes (CMP1 andCMP2) that encode proteins homologous to the catalytic subunit of phosphoprotein phosphatase. The presumed CMP1 protein (62999
Da) and CMP2 protein (68496 Da) contain a 23 amino acid sequence very similar to those identified as calmodulin-binding sites
in many calmodulin-regulated proteins. The yeast genes encode proteins especially homologous to the catalytic subunit of mammalian
phosphoprotein phosphatase type 213 (calcineurin). The products of theCMP1 andCMP2 genes were identified by immunoblot analysis of cell extracts as proteins of 62000 and 64000 Da, respectively. Gene disruption
experiments demonstrated that elimination of either or both of these genes had no effect on cell viability, indicating that
these genes are not essential for normal cell growth. 相似文献

Mechanisms restricting the accumulation of chloroplast glycolipids in achlorophyllous etiolated or heat-treated 70S ribosome-deficient rye leaves (Secale cereale L. cv “Halo”) and thereby coupling glycolipid formation to the availability of chlorophyll, were investigated by comparing [14C]acetate incorporation by leaf segments of different age and subsequent chase experiments. In green leaves [14C]acetate incorporation into all major glycerolipids increased with age. In etiolated leaves glycerolipid synthesis developed much more slowly. In light-grown, heat-bleached leaves [14C]acetate incorporation into glycolipids was high at the youngest stage but declined with age. In green leaves [14C]acetate incorporation into unesterified fatty acids and all major glycerolipids was immediately and strongly diminished after application of an inhibitor of chlorophyll synthesis, 4,6-dioxoheptanoic acid. The turnover of glyco- or phospholipids did not differ markedly in green, etiolated, or heat-bleached leaves. The total capacity of isolated ribosome-deficient plastids for fatty acid synthesis was not much lower than that of isolated chloroplasts. However, the main products synthesized from [14C]acetate by chloroplasts were unesterified fatty acids, phosphatidic acid, and diacylglycerol, while those produced by ribosome-deficient plastids were unesterified fatty acids, phosphatidic acid, and phosphatidylglycerol. Isolated heat-bleached plastids exhibited a strikingly lower galactosyltransferase activity than chloroplasts, suggesting that this reaction was rate-limiting, and lacked phosphatidate phosphatase activity. 相似文献

In a recent paper [Ariño et al., Plant Mol Biol 21: 475–485 (1993)] we reported the amplification of a DNA fragment (AP-2) from the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana encoding an amino acid sequence corresponding to a Ser/Thr protein phosphatase distantly related to type 2A protein phosphatases. In this paper we report the use of the AP-2 fragment to isolate several cDNA clones from a leaf cDNA library. Two of these (EP 124 and Ep 129) largely overlap and contain the AP-2 sequence, whereas a third clone (EP 128) is different although very related in sequence (86% of identity). Clones EP 124/EP 129 and EP 128 were found to encode two highly related polypeptides (93% identity) of 305 residues, showing a very high identity (83%) to the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase X (PPX) from rabbit. Therefore, they have been named PPX-1 (EP 124/EP 129) and PPX-2 (EP 128). Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA indicates that only these two genes encoding phosphatases closely related to PPX are present in the genome of A. thaliana. Both PPX-1 and PPX-2 are expressed at very low levels in A. thaliana flowers, leaves, stems and roots. The expression levels of four previously identified type 2A phosphatases are higher than those of PPX genes. PP2A-1 appears to be the major mRNA species detected in all the tissues analyzed. 相似文献

Thiamine monophosphatase (TMPase, also known as Fluoride-resistant acid phosphatase or FRAP) is a classic histochemical marker of small- to medium-diameter dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons and has primarily been studied in the rat. Previously, we found that TMPase was molecularly identical to Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) using mice. In addition, PAP was expressed in a majority of nonpeptidergic, isolectin B4-binding (IB4+) nociceptive neurons and a subset of peptidergic, calcitonin gene-related peptide-containing (CGRP+) nociceptive neurons. At the time, we were unable to determine if PAP was present in rat DRG neurons because the antibody we used did not cross-react with PAP in rat tissues. In our present study, we generated a chicken polyclonal antibody against the secretory isoform of mouse PAP. This antibody detects mouse, rat and human PAP protein on western blots. Additionally, this antibody detects PAP in mouse and rat small- to medium-diameter DRG neurons and axon terminals in lamina II of spinal cord. In the rat, 92.5% of all PAP+ cells bind the nonpeptidergic marker IB4 and 31.8% of all PAP+ cells contain the peptidergic marker CGRP. Although PAP is found in peptidergic and nonpeptidergic neurons of mice and rats, the percentage of PAP+ neurons that express these markers differs between species. Moreover, PAP+ axon terminals in the rat partially overlap with Protein kinase Cγ (PKCγ+) interneurons in dorsal spinal cord whereas PAP+ axon terminals in the mouse terminate dorsal to PKCγ+ interneurons. Collectively, our studies highlight similarities and differences in PAP localization within nociceptive neurons of mice and rats. 相似文献

Phosphatidic acid has been proposed to contribute to the mitogenic actions of various growth factors. In32P-labeled neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts, 100 nM [Sar1]angiotensin II was shown to rapidly induce formation of32P-phosphatidic acid. Levels peaked at 5 min (1.5-fold above control), but were partially sustained over 2 h. Phospholipase D contributed in part to phosphatidic acid formation, as32P- or3H-phosphatidylethanol was produced when cells labeled with [32P]H3PO4 or 1-O-[1,2-3H]hexadecyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine were stimulated in the presence of 1% ethanol. [Sar1]angiotensin II-induced phospholipase D activity was transient and mainly mediated through protein kinase C (PKC), since PKC downregulation reduced phosphatidylethanol formation by 68%. Residual activity may have been due to increased intracellular Ca2+, as ionomycin also activated phospholipase D in PKC-depleted cells. Phospholipase D did not fully account for [Sar1]angiotensin II-induced phosphatidic acid: 1) compared to PMA, a potent activator of phospholipase D, [Sar1]angiotensin II produced more phosphatidic acid relative to phosphatidylethanol, and 2) PKC downregulation did not affect [Sar1]angiotensin II-induced phosphatidic acid formation. The diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R59949 depressed [Sar1]angiotensin II-induced phosphatidic acid formation by only 21%, indicating that activation of a phospholipase C and diacylglycerol kinase also can not account for the bulk of phosphatidic acid. Thus, additional pathways not involving phospholipases C and D, such asde novo synthesis, may contribute to [Sar1]angiotensin II-induced phosphatidic acid in these cells. Finally, as previously shown for [Sar1]angiotensin II, phosphatidic acid stimulated mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase activity. These results suggest that phosphatidic acid may function as an intracellular second messenger of angiotensin II in cardiac fibroblasts and may contribute to the mitogenic action of this hormone on these cells.

Molecular cloning of a cDNA encoding diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) in Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) synthesizes phosphatidic acid from diacylglycerol, an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), to resynthesize phosphatidylinositols. The structure of DGK has not been characterized in plants. We report the cloning of a cDNA, cATDGK1, encoding DGK from Arabidopsis thaliana. The cATDGK1 cDNA contains an open reading frame of 2184 bp, and encodes a putative protein of 728 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 79.4 kDa. The deduced ATDGK1 amino acid sequence exhibits significant similarity to that of rat, pig, and Drosophila DGKs. The ATDGK1 mRNA was detected in roots, shoots, and leaves. Southern blot analysis suggests that the ATDGK1 gene is a single-copy gene. The existence of DGK as well as phospholipase C suggests the existence of PKC in plants. 相似文献

Myrosinases (EC 3.2.1.147) are β-thioglucoside glucosidases present in Brassicaceae plants. These enzymes serve to protect plants against pathogens and insect pests by initiating breakdown of the secondary metabolites glucosinolates into toxic products. Several forms of myrosinases are present in plants but the properties and role of different isoenzymes are not well understood. The dicot plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana seems to contain six myrosinase genes (TGG1–TGG6). In order to compare the different myrosinases, cDNAs corresponding to TGG1 from leaves and TGG4 and TGG5 from roots were cloned and overexpressed in Pichia pastoris. The His-tagged recombinant proteins were purified using affinity chromatography and the preparations were homogenous according to SDS–PAGE analysis. Myrosinase activity was confirmed for all forms and compared with respect to catalytic activity towards the allyl-glucosinolate sinigrin. There was a 22-fold difference in basal activity among the myrosinases. The enzymes were active in a broad pH range, are rather thermostable and active in a wide range of salt concentrations but sensitive to high salt concentrations. The myrosinases showed different activation–inhibition responses towards ascorbic acid with maximal activity around 0.7–1 mM. No activity was registered towards desulphosinigrin and this compound did not inhibit myrosinase activity towards sinigrin. All myrosinases also displayed O-β-glucosidase activity, although with lower efficiency compared to the myrosinase activity. The differences in catalytic properties among myrosinase isozymes for function in planta are discussed. 相似文献

Effects of NaCI stress on nitrogen and phosphorous metabolism in a true mangrove Bruguiera parviflora grown under hydroponic culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The influence of varying levels of salinity (0, 100, 200 and 400 mM) on the activities of nitrate reductase (NR, E.C. 1.6.6.1), acid phosphatase (ACP, E.C. 3.1.3.2), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP, EC 3.1. 3.1) as well as on nitrate and phosphate uptake and total nitrogen levels in leaves of a true mangrove Bruguiera parviflora was investigated under hydroponic culture conditions. NR activity increased in 100 mM NaCl treated plants, whereas it decreased gradually in 200 and 400 mM treated plants, relative to the controls. Decreased activity of NR by NaCl stress was also accompanied by a decrease in total nitrogen level and nitrate uptake. Decreases in NR activity, nitrate (NO3−), and total nitrogen level due to high salinity may be responsible for a decrease in growth and biomass production in this plant. However, salinity caused an increase in both ACP and ALP activity. Activity staining of ACP by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed three isoforms: ACP-1, ACP-2, and ACP-3. We observed a preferential enhancement in the ACP-3 isoform by salinity. In order to understand whether the salinity-induced increase in phosphatase activity was due to inhibition in phosphate uptake, we monitored phosphate (Pi) levels in leaves and noted that phosphate levels decreased significantly under salinity. These results suggest that the induction of acid and ALP under salt stress may be due to a phosphorous deficiency. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of a cDNA clone encoding the anti-viral protein from Phytolacca americana 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Phytolacca anti-viral protein (PAP) was purified from Phytolacca leaves and the N-terminal was sequenced. A cDNA library was made from mRNAs isolated from Phytolacca leaves and cDNA clones for PAP were identified using oligonucleotide probes derived from the N-terminal amino acid sequence. The PAP-cDNA clone was sequenced from both directions. The predicted amino acid sequence of PAP was compared with the amino acid sequences of other ribosome-inactivating proteins. The identities of these proteins to PAP ranged from 29 to 38%, and a region was found in each with a sequence similar to the PAP sequence (AIQMVSEAARFKYI). Southern blot analysis indicates that PAP is encoded by a multi-gene family.Abbreviations MAP
