EF-1a binds aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome with the hydrolysis of GTP; the complex facilitates the exchange of GDP for GTP to initiate another round of elongation. To examine the subunit structure of EF-1 and phosphorylation by protein kinase CKII, recombinant , , and subunits from rabbit were expressed in E. coli and the subunits were reconstituted into partial and complete complexes and analyzed by gel filtration. To determine the availability of the and subunits for phosphorylation by CKII, the subunits and the reconstituted complexes were examined as substrates for CKII. Formation of the nucleotide exchange complex increased the rate of phosphorylation of the subunit and reduced the Km, while addition of to or the complex inhibited phosphorylation by CKII. However, a had little effect on phosphorylation of . Thus, the and subunits in EF-1 were differentially phosphorylated by CKII, in that phosphorylation of was altered by association with other subunits, while the site on was always available for phosphorylation by CKII. From the availability of the subunits for phosphorylation by CKII and the composition of the reconstituted partial and complete complexes, a model for the subunit structure of EF-1 consisting of (22)2 is proposed and discussed. 相似文献

The effect of Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM) on the specific binding of [125I]omega-conotoxin GVIA (125I--CTX) to crude membranes from chick brain was investigated. When we examined the effects of the activation of various endogenous protein kinases on specific [125I]-CTX binding to crude membranes, we observed that Ca2+/CaM had an inhibitory effect regardless of whether or not the standard medium contained ATP (0.5 mM). Ca2+/CaM also had an inhibitory effect in a simple binding-assay medium containing HEPES-HCl buffer, BSA, Ca2+ and CaM, and this effect was dependent on the concentration of Ca2+. The effect of Ca2+/CaM was attenuated by the CaM antagonists W-7 and CaM-kinase II fragment (290–309). An experiment with modified ELISA using purified anti -CTX antibody indicated that Ca2+/CaM did not affect the direct binding of [125I]-CTX and CaM. These results suggest that Ca2+/CaM either directly or indirectly affects specific [125I]-CTX binding sites, probably N-type Ca2+ channels in crude membranes from chick whole brain. 相似文献

Summary The voltage clamp technique is a powerful method for studying the physiology of excitable membrane. This technique has made possible the determination of ionic responses generated by activation of either receptor-mediated or voltage-dependent processes. The development of the whole-cell, tight-seal voltage clamp method has allowed the analysis and examination of membrane physiology at the single cell level. The method allows the characterization of voltage-dependent ionic conductances both at the macroscopic (whole-cell) and at the microscopic (unitary conductance or single channel) level in cells less than 10 µm in diameter, a feat difficult to achieve with conventional fine-tipped micropipettes.In this paper, several methologies used for culturing neuronal and non-neuronal cells in the laboratory are described. A comparison between the two modes of voltage clamp using blunt-tipped patch-microelectrodes, the switching (discontinuous) and the non-switching (continuous) modes, of the Axoclamp-2A amplifier is made. Some results on membrane currents obtained from neuronal and non-neuronal cells using the single electrode whole-cell tight-seal voltage clamp is illustrated. The possible existence of two inactivating K+ currents, one dependent on Ca++ the other is not, is discussed. 相似文献

In an attempt to further characterize the type of Ca2+ channels primarily regulating GABA exocytosis, the effects of increasing concentrations of CTx MVIIC,--Aga IVA and other Ca2+ channel blockers (nitrendipine, Cd2+ and Ni2+), commonly used for pharmacologically discerning among the various types of Ca2+ channels, were tested on the dissected Ca2+ dependent fraction of the depolarization evoked release of GABA from mouse brain synaptosomes. Our results show that -CTx MVIIC inhibits GABA exocytosis with a calculated IC50 of 3 M and -Aga IVA with a calculated IC50 of 50 nM. The divalent cation Cd2+ only diminishes GABA exocytosis at 70 M, but does not modify this response at lower concentrations (i.e. 1 and 10 M). Neither nitrendipine (10 M) nor Ni2+ (100 M and 500 M) modified GABA exocytosis. The failure of nitrendipine at a high concentration to inhibit GABA exocytosis discards L-type Ca2+ channels as the main regulators of this response; likewise that of Ni2+ discards Ca2+ channels of the N-type, and the failure of nM concentrations of -CTx MVIIC or 500 M Ni2+, also discards alpha1A/Q-type Ca2+ channels as the main regulators of the GABA response. On the basis of these results and in particular of the higher potency of -Aga IVA than -CTx MVIIC, it is concluded that the type of Ca2+ channels that primarily determine the exocytosis of GABA belong to a P-like type of Ca2+ channels. 相似文献

Holophosphorylase kinase was digested with Glu-C specific protease; from the peptide mixture calmodulin binding peptides were isolated by affinity chromatography and identified by N-terminal sequence analysis. Two peptides originating from the subunit, having a high tendency to form a positively charged amphiphilic helix and containing tryptophane, were synthesized. Additionally, a homologous region of the subunit and a peptide from the subunit present in a region deleted in the isoform were also selected for synthesis. Binding stoichiometry and affinity were determined by following the enhancement in tryptophane fluorescence occurring upon 1:1 complex formation between these peptides and calmodulin. Finally, Ca2+ binding to calmodulin in presence of peptides was measured. By this way, the peptides 542–566, 547–571, 660–677 and 597–614 have been found to bind specifically to calmodulin.Together with previously predicted and synthesized calmodulin binding peptides four calmodulin binding regions have been characterized on each the and subunits. It can be concluded that endogenous calmodulin can bind to two calmodulin binding regions in as well as to two regions in and . Exogenous calmodulin can bind to two regions in and in . A binding stoichiometry of 0.8mol of calmodulin/ protomer of phosphorylase kinase has been determined by inhibiting the ubiquitination of calmodulin with phosphorylase kinase. Phosphorylase kinase is half maximally activated by 23nM calmodulin which is in the affinity range of calmodulin binding peptides from to calmodulin. Therefore, binding of exogenous calmodulin to activates the enzyme. A model for switching endogenous calmodulin between , and and modulation of ATP binding to as well as Mg2+/ADP binding to by calmodulin is presented. 相似文献

The conserved residue Thr42 of -subunit of the chloroplast ATP synthase of maize (Zea mays L.) was substituted with Cys, Arg, and Ile, respectively, through site-directed mutagenesis. The over-expressed and refolded -proteins were purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and FPLC on mono-Q column, which were as biologically active (inhibiting Ca2+-ATPase activity and blocking proton gate) as the native subunit isolated from chloroplasts. The T42C and T42R showed higher inhibitory activities on the soluble CF1(–) Ca2+-ATPase than the WT. The T42I inhibited the Ca2+-ATPase activity of soluble CF1 and restored photophosphorylation activity of membrane-bound CF1 deficient in the most efficiently. Far-ultraviolet CD spectra showed that the portions of -helix and -sheet structures of the three mutants were somewhat different from WT. Thus the conserved residue Thr42 may be important for maintaining the structure and function of the -subunit and the basic functions of the -subunit as far as an inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPase and the proton gate are related. 相似文献

Summary When K+ of high concentration (50 mM) was applied toNitella cells, the cytoplasmic streaming stopped instantly as in the case of electrical stimulation. Recovery of the streaming after chemical stimulation was much slower than after electrical stimulation. When the endoplasm content was modified by centrifugation, streaming recovery was accelerated in the centrifugal cell fragments rich in endoplasm and deccelerated in those poor in it. The recovery was also accelerated either by permeabilizing the plasmalemma in the presence of EGTA in the external solution or by removing the tonoplast by vacuolar perfusion with the EGTA-containing medium. We concluded that the streaming was recovered due to decrease of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, which seems to be accelerated by sequestering of Ca2+ by endoplasmic components. The slow recovery of the streaming after KCl-stimulated cessation is assumed to be caused by continuous influx of Ca2 + during the prolonged membrane depolarization.Abbreviations ATP

Preparations of synaptosomes isolated in sucrose or in Na+-rich media were compared with respect to internal pH (pH1), internal Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), membrane potential and45Ca2+ uptake due to K+ depolarization and Na+/Ca2+ exchange. We found that synaptosomes isolated in sucrose media have a pHi of 6.77±0.04 and a [Ca2+]i of about 260 nM, whereas synaptosomes isolated in Na+-rich ionic media have a pHi of 6.96±0.07 and a [Ca2+]i of 463 nM, but both types of preparations have similar membrane potentials of about –50 mV when placed in choline media. The sucrose preparation takes up Ca2+ only by voltage sensitive calcium channels (VSCC'S) when K+-depolarized, while the Na+-rich synaptosomes take up45Ca2+ both by VSCC'S and by Na+/Ca2+ exchange. The amiloride derivative 2, 4 dimethylbenzamil (DMB), at 30 M, inhibits both mechanisms of Ca2+ influx, but 5-(N-4-chlorobenzyl)-2, 4 dimethylbenzamil (CBZ-DMB), at 30 M, inhibits the Ca2+ uptake by VSCC'S, but not by Na+/Ca2+ exchange. Thus, DMB and CBZ-DMB permit distinguishing between Ca2+ flux through channels and through Na+/Ca2+ exchange. We point out that the different properties of the two types of synaptosomes studied account for some of the discrepancies in results reported in the literature for studies of Ca2+ fluxes and neurotransmitter release by different types of preparations of synaptosomes.Abbreviations used BCECF

Summary The actin-activated ATPase activityPhysarum myosin was shown to be inhibited of M levels of Ca2+. To determine if Ca2+ regulates ATP-dependent movement ofPhysarum myosin on actin, latex beads coated withPhysarum myosin were introduced intoChara cells by intracellular perfusion. In perfusion solution containing EGTA, the beads moved along the parallel arrays ofChara actin filaments at a rate of 1.0–1.8 m/sec; however, in perfusion solution containing Ca2+, the rate reduced to 0.0–0.7 m/sec. The movement of beads coated with scallop myosin, whose actin-activated ATPase activity is activated by Ca2+, was observed only in the perfusion solution containing Ca2+, indicating that myosin is responsible for the inhibitory effect of Ca2+ onPhysarum myosin movement. The involvement of this myosin-linked regulation in the inhibitory effect of Ca2+ on the cytoplasmic streaming observed inChara internodal cell andPhysarum plasmodium was discussed.Abbreviations ATP

We previously proposed specific interaction of Lex (Gal1 4[Fuc1 3]-GlcNAc1 3Gal) with Lex as a basis of cell adhesion in pre-implantation embryos and in aggregation of F9 teratocarcinoma cells, based on several lines of evidence (Eggenset al., J Biol Chem (1989)264:9476–9484). We now present additional evidence for this concept, based on autoaggregation studies of plastic beads coated with glycosphingolipids (GSLs) bearing Lex or other epitopes, and affinity chromatography on Lex-columns of multivalent lactofucopentaose III (Lex oligosaccharide) conjugated with lysyllysine. Comparative adhesion studies of Lex-expressing tumour cellsvs their Lex-non-expressing variants showed that only Lex-expressing cells adhere to Lex-coated plates and are involved in tumour cell aggregation, in analogy to F9 cell aggregation. The major carrier of Lex determinant in F9 cells is not GSL but rather polylactosaminoglycan (embryoglycan), and we demonstrated autoaggregation of purified embryoglycan in the presence of Ca2+, and reversible dissociation in the absence of Ca2+ (addition of EDTA). Defucosylated embryoglycan did not show autoaggregation under the same conditions. Thus, Lex-Lex interaction has been demonstrated on a lactosaminoglycan basis as well as a GSL basis. A molecular model of Lex-Lex interaction based on minimum energy conformation with involvement of Ca2+ is presented.Abbreviations BSA

Under diurnal 16/8-h light-dark cycles, ethyleneglycol-bis-(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) at 1 mM completely blocked the appearance of rhythmic N2-fixing activity in Synechococcus RF-1. Ca2+ at 2 mM, when supplied either together with or several hours after the EGTA application, restored the nitrogenase activity, whereas, when Ca2+ was supplied several hours later, the peak of nitrogenase activity was shifted from the dark to the light period in which the activity is normally suppressed. Sr2+ also reversed the inhibition by EGTA, but only partially. When O2 in the gas phase above the culture was below 1%, the inhibition of nitrogenase activity by EGTA was reduced to less than 20% of the control value without EGTA. Thus Ca2+ appears to be required by the cell to protect its nitrogenase from inactivation by O2. In media without EGTA, a close correlation between nitrogenase activity and concentrations of Ca2+ was also observed.Abbreviation EGTA

Summary To control the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration from the cell exterior, pollen tubes ofLilium longiflorum were treated with a Ca2+ ionophore, A23187. Cytoplasmic streaming was inhibited when the free Ca2+ concentration of the external medium ([Ca2+]) was raised to 5×10–6 M or higher. At [Ca2+] below 1×10–6 M, the rhodamine-phalloidin stained actin filaments appeared straight and thin. However, at [Ca2+] which inhibited cytoplasmic streaming, the actin filaments appeared fragmented. In pollen tubes, Ca2+ regulation of cytoplasmic streaming may be linked not only to myosin (Shimmen 1987) but also to actin.Abbreviations ATP

The red light-stimulated component of unrolling in sections from 7-d-old dark-grown barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves is inhibited by ethyleneglycol-bis-(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetracetic acid (EGTA). A free-Ca2+ activity of less than 40 M restores the ability to respond to red light, but only if supplied within 1 h of red light. Magnesium ions are an ineffective substitute. At least two processes in unrolling appear to be Ca2+-sensitive.Fluence-response measurements indicate that the levels of the far-red-absorbing from of phytochrome (Pfr) still present 4 h after red-light treatment should be above saturation for the unrolling response; consequently, loss of Pfr does not explain the loss in effectiveness of Ca2+ during prolonged EGTA treatment. However, if a further red-light treatment is given simultaneously with Ca2+ addition 4 h after the initial light stimulus, then full unrolling occurs in EGTA-treated sections. These data indicate that, under normal circumstances, a functional change in the properties of Pfr must occur, uncoupling it from the transduction chain.Abbreviations EGTA

Simulium craigi Adler and Currie is a polymorphic species based on polytene chromosome banding patterns in the long arm of chromosome III (IIIL). Three cytotypes are described based on the predominant IIIL sequences. These correspond to three broad geographic areas: cytotype CC from Pennsylvania; cytotype AF from Ontario and Manitoba; and cytotype ACF/BCF from New Hampshire. In the absence of sympatric populations, these cytotype differences are best explained by clinal variation within a single species. The relationship of S. craigi to other described members of the S. vernum group is discussed. 相似文献

Bovine brain contains two calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase kinases which are separated on Sephacryl S-300 column. One of these kinases has been purified to homogeneity and shown to belong to the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II family. Phosphorylation of the 63 kDa phosphodiesterase by this purified protein kinase results in the incorporation of 1.0 mol phosphate per mol subunit and an accompanying increase in Ca2+ concentrations required for the phosphodiesterase activation by calmodulin. The protein kinase undergoes autophosphorylation to incorporate 1.0 mol phosphate per mol of subunit of the enzyme and the autophosphorylated enzyme is active, independent of the presence of Ca2+. The autophosphorylation reaction as well as the protein kinase reaction are rendered Ca2+ independent in less than 15 seconds when approximately one mol phosphate per mol protein kinase is incorporated. The result suggests that activation of phosphodiesterase phosphorylation reaction may occur prior to the activation of phosphodiesterase and phosphatase during a cell Ca2+ flux via the protein kinase autophosphorylation mechanism.Abbreviations SDS

Summary 2-Amino-2-deoxyuridine reacts efficiently with nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides in aqueous solution. The dinucleoside monophosphate analogues were obtained in yields exceeding 80% under conditions in which little reaction occurs with the natural nucleosides.In a similar way, the 5-phosphorimidazolide of 2-amino-2-deoxyuridine undergoes self-condensation in aqueous solution to give a complex mixture of oligomers.The phosphoramidate bond in the dinucleoside monophosphate analogues is stable for several days at room temperature and pH 7. The mechanisms of their hydrolysis under acidic and alkaline conditions are described.Abbreviations A

The high selectivity, low conductance, amiloride-blockable, sodium channel of the mammalian distal nephron (i.e. cortical collecting tubule) is the site of discretionary regulation which allows maintainance of total body sodium balance. In order to understand the physiological events that participate in this regulation, we have used the patch-clamp technique which allows us to measure individual Na+ channel currents and permits access to the cytosolic side of the channel-protein as well as its associated regulatory components. Most of our experiments have utilized the A6 amphibian renal cell line, which when grown on permeable supports is an excellent model for the mammalian distal nephron. Different mechanisms have been examined: (1) regulation by hormonal factors such as Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) and aldosterone, (2) regulation by G-proteins, (3) modulation by protein kinase C (PK-C), and (4) modulation by products of arachidonic acid metabolism. Consistent with noise analysis of tight epithelial tissues, ADH treatment increased the number of active channels in apical membrane patches of A6 cells, without any apparent change in the open probability (Po) of the individual channels. Agents that increased intracellular cAMP mimicked the effects of ADH. In contrast, aldosterone was found to act through a dramatic increase in Po rather than through changes in channel density. Inhibition of methylation by deazaadenosine antagonizes the stimulatory effect of aldosterone. In excised inside-out patches GTPS inhibits channel activity, whereas GDPS or pertussis toxin stimulates activity suggesting regulatory control by G-proteins. PK-C has been shown to contribute to feed-back inhibition of apical Na+ conductance in tight epithelia. Raising luminal bath sodium and therefore intracellular Na+ inhibits sodium channel activity, an effect that is prevented by PK-C inhibitors and mimicked by PK-C agonists. Cyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid have an inhibitory effect on channel activity. Finally, a possible role for tyrosine kinase as well as membrane cytoskeleton in the regulation of sodium channel function is also suggested.Abbreviations ADH

Summary The perdeuteration of aliphatic sites in large proteins has been shown to greatly facilitate the process of sequential backbone and side-chain 13C assignments and has also been utilized in obtaining long-range NOE distance restraints for structure calculations. To obtain the maximum information from a 4D 15N/15N-separated NOESY, as many main-chain and side-chain 1HN/15N resonances as possible must be assigned. Traditionally, only backbone amide 1HN/15N resonances are assigned by correlation experiments, whereas slowly exchanging side-chain amide, amino, and guanidino protons are assigned by NOEs to side-chain aliphatic protons. In a perdeuterated protein, however, there is a minimal number of such protons. We have therefore developed several gradient-enhanced and sensitivity-enhanced pulse sequences, containing water-flipback pulses, to provide through-bond correlations of the aliphatic side-chain 1HN/15N resonances to side-chain 13C resonances with high sensitivity: NH2-filtered 2D 1H-15N HSQC (H2N-HSQC), 3D H2N(CO)C/ and 3D H2N(COC/)C/ for glutamine and asparagine side-chain amide groups; 2D refocused H(N/)C/ and H(N/C/)C/ for arginine side-chain amino groups and non-refocused versions for lysine side-chain amino groups; and 2D refocused H(N)C and nonrefocused H(N.)C for arginine side-chain guanidino groups. These pulse sequences have been applied to perdeuterated 13C-/15N-labeled human carbonic anhydrase II (2H-HCA II). Because more than 95% of all side-chain 13C resonances in 2H-HCA II have already been assigned with the C(CC)(CO)NH experiment, the assignment of the side-chain 1HN/15N resonances has been straightforward using the pulse sequences mentioned above. The importance of assigning these side-chain HN protons has been demonstrated by recent studies in which the calculation of protein global folds was simulated using only 1HN-1HN NOE restraints. In these studies, the inclusion of NOE restraints to side-chain HN protons significantly improved the quality of the global fold that could be determined for a perdeuterated protein [R.A. Venters et al. (1995) J. Am. Chem. Soc., 117, 9592–9593].To whom correspondence should be addressed. 相似文献

Summary Order parameters for the backbone N–H and C–H bond vectors have been calculated from a 150 ps molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of human type- transforming growth factor in H2O solvent. Two kinds of crankshaft motions of the polypeptide backbone are observed in this MD trajectory. The first involves small-amplitude rocking of the rigid peptide bond due to correlated changes in the backbone dihedral angles i–1 and i. These high-frequency librational crankshaft motions are correlated with systematically smaller values of motional order parameters for backbone N–H bond vectors compared to C–H bond vectors. In addition, infrequent crankshaft flips of the peptide bond from one local minimum to another are observed for several amino acid residues. These MD simulations demonstrate that comparisons of N–H and C–H order parameters provide a useful approach for identifying crank-shaft librational motions in proteins. 相似文献
