The receptor like PTPase, PTP, displays structural similarity in its extracellular segment to members of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. The full length form of PTP (200 kD) and a construct expressing only the intracellular PTPase domain-containing segment *80 kD) were expressed in the baculovirus/Sf9 cell system, purified and characterized. Full length PTP was membrane associated while the truncated form was recovered in the soluble fraction. PTP preferentially dephosphorylated a reduced carboxamidomethylated and maleylated derivative of lysozyme (RCML) over other tyrosine phosphorylated substrates such as myelin basic protein (MBP) or the synthetic peptide EDNDYINASL. The enzymatic properties of the soluble, truncated form of the enzyme were examined in detail. The pH optimum was 7.5. It dephosphorylated RCML with a Km of 400 nM and a Vmax of 725 nmol/min/mg. This form of the enzyme was 2 fold more active than full length PTP. Trypsinization of the full length form inhibited activity. Vanadate and molybdate, potent tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors, abolished activity of the enzyme. Zn++ and Mn++ ions, polylysine, poly-glu/tyr, and spermine were also inhibitory. 相似文献

The substrate specificity of phospholipid/Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) was studied using synthetic peptides, in particular those corresponding to the amino acid sequence around serine 115 in bovine myelin basic protein (MBP). It was found that MBP (104-118) and MBP (104-123) were substrates for the enzyme, with apparent Km values of 14 and 10 microM, respectively. Neither MBP (111-118) nor MBP (111-123) were phosphorylated, indicating that an additional segment of sequence extending toward the N terminus, but not toward the C terminus, was essential for the substrate activity of the peptides. Of the alanine-substituted analogs examined, [Ala 105] MBP (104-118) was comparable to the parent peptide, whereas [Ala 107] MBP (104-118) and [Ala 113] MBP-(104-118) were much poorer substrates. These findings indicated that lysine 105 was not essential, but both arginine 107 and arginine 113 were important specificity determinants. Initial studies revealed that [Ala 113] MBP (104-118) inhibited phosphorylation by the enzyme of the parent peptide and, to a lesser extent, the intact MBP(1-170). Serine 115 was the only site phosphorylated in the analog peptides [Ala 105] MBP (104-118) and [Ala 107]MBP (104-118). In the parent peptide, serine 115 was the initial site of phosphorylation but after prolonged phosphorylation other sites became phosphorylated (serine 110 and/or serine 112), further supporting the concept that arginine residues act as essential substrate specificity determinants for phospholipid/Ca2+-dependent protein kinase. 相似文献

Diacylglycerol kinase epsilon (DGKepsilon) is unique among mammalian DGK isoforms in having a segment of hydrophobic amino acids. We have evaluated the contributions of this segment to the membrane interactions and functions of this protein. To test the role of the hydrophobic segment, we have compared the properties of DGKepsilon with those of a truncated form of the protein (DGKDeltaepsilon) lacking the 40 N-terminal amino acids, which includes the hydrophobic segment. The proteins were expressed in COS-7 cells from a gene for human DGKepsilon or from a gene for a truncated form (DGKDeltaepsilon), both of which had a FLAG tag at the amino terminus. Full-length FLAG-DGKepsilon and truncated FLAG-DGKDeltaepsilon were both more specific for 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol than for 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol. 1-Stearoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycerol exhibited intermediate specificity for both forms of the enzyme. The results show that the truncated form of the enzyme maintains substrate specificity for lipids with an arachidonoyl moiety present at the sn-2 position. The truncation increases the catalytic rate constant for all three substrates and may suggest a role in the negative regulation of this enzyme. A full-length DGKepsilon with a C-terminal His tag exhibited substrate specificity similar to that of the other two forms of the enzyme, indicating that the nature and position of the epitope tag did not strongly affect this property. Using an ultracentrifugation floatation assay, we showed that at neutral pH DGKDeltaepsilon is extracted with 1.5 M KCl while DGKepsilon remains essentially fully membrane bound. The full-length protein had a weak tendency to oligomerize in the presence of weak detergents. DGKepsilon was monomeric on SDS-PAGE but exhibited partial dimerization with low concentrations of perfluorooctanoic acid. The major conclusions of this work are that the hydrophobic domain of DGKepsilon does not contribute to substrate specificity but plays a role in permanently sequestering the enzyme to a membrane. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic domains of two human transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases), LAR and CD45, have been expressed in Escherichia coli, purified to near-homogeneity, and compared for catalytic efficiency toward several phosphotyrosine-containing peptide substrates. A 615-residue LAR fragment (LAR-D1D2) containing both tandemly repeated PTPase domains shows almost identical specific activity and high catalytic efficiency as the 40-kDa single-domain LAR-D1 fragment, consistent with a single functional active site in the 70-kDa LAR-D1D2 enzyme. A 90-kDa fragment of the human leukocyte CD45 PTPase, containing two similar tandemly repeated PTPase domains, shows parallel specificity to LAR-D1 and LAR-D1D2 with a high kcat/Km value for a phosphotyrosyl undecapeptide. Sufficient purified LAR-D1 and LAR-D1D2 PTPases were available to demonstrate enzymatic exchange of 18O from 18O4 inorganic phosphate into H2(16)O at rates of approximately 1 x 10(-2) s-1. The oxygen-18 exchange probably proceeds via a phosphoenzyme intermediate. Brief incubation of all three PTPase fragments with a [32P]phosphotyrosyl peptide substrate prior to quench with SDS sample buffer and gel electrophoresis led to autoradiographic detection of 32P-labeled enzymes. Pulse/chase studies on the LAR 32P-enzyme showed turnover of the labeled phosphoryl group. 相似文献

Most receptor-like, transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases), such as CD45 and the leukocyte common antigen-related (LAR) molecule, have two tandemly repeated PTPase domains in the cytoplasmic segment. The role of each PTPase domain in mediating PTPase activity remains unclear; however, it has been proposed that PTPase activity is associated with only the first of the two domains, PTPase domain 1, and the membrane-distal PTPase domain 2, which has no catalytic activity, would regulate substrate specificity. In this paper, we examine the function of each PTPase domain of LAR in vivo using a potential physiological substrate, namely insulin receptor, and LAR mutant proteins in which the conserved cysteine residue was changed to a serine residue in the active site of either or both PTPase domains. LAR associated with and preferentially dephosphorylated the insulin receptor that was tyrosine phosphorylated by insulin stimulation. Its association was mediated by PTPase domain 2, because the mutation of Cys-1813 to Ser in domain 2 resulted in weakening of the association. The Cys-1522 to Ser mutant protein, which is defective in the LAR PTPase domain 1 catalytic site, was tightly associated with tyrosine-phosphorylated insulin receptor, but failed to dephosphorylate it, indicating that LAR PTPase domain 1 is critical for dephosphorylation of tyrosine-phosphorylated insulin receptor. This hypothesis was further confirmed by using LAR mutants in which either PTPase domain 1 or domain 2 was deleted. Moreover, the association of the extracellular domains of both LAR and insulin receptor was supported by using the LAR mutant protein without the two PTPase domains. LAR was phosphorylated by insulin receptor tyrosine kinase and autodephosphorylated by the catalytic activity of the PTPase domain 1. These results indicate that each domain of LAR plays distinct functional roles through phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in vivo. 相似文献

This report describes the cloning and characterization of rat leukocyte common antigen-related protein (rLAR), a receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase). The recombinant cytoplasmic PTPase domain was expressed at high levels in bacteria and purified to homogeneity. Kinetic properties of the PTPase were examined along with potential modulators of PTPase activity. Several sulfhydryl-directed reagents were effective inhibitors, and a surprising distinction between iodoacetate and iodoacetamide was observed. The latter compound was an extremely poor inhibitor when compared to iodoacetate, suggesting that iodoacetate may interact selectively with a positive charge at or near the active site of the enzyme. Site-directed mutants were made at 4 highly conserved cysteine residues found at positions 1434, 1522, 1723, and 1813 within the protein. The Cys-1522/Ser mutation resulted in a 99% loss of enzymatic activity of the pure protein. This observation is consistent with greater than 99% of the PTPase activity being found in the first domain of the PTPase and demonstrates the critical importance of this cysteine residue in catalysis. The recombinant C1522S mutant phosphatase could also be phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C and p43v-abl tyrosine kinase. When pure recombinant PTPase was mixed with 32P-labeled tyrosine substrate and then rapidly denatured, a 32P-labeled enzyme intermediate could be trapped and visualized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The catalytically inactive C1522S mutant did not form the phosphoenzyme intermediate. 相似文献

Stromelysin-1 is a member of a tissue metalloproteinase family whose members are all capable of degrading extracellular matrix components. A truncated form of human fibroblast prostromelysin 1 lacking the C-terminal, hemopexin-like domain has been expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Treatment of this short form of prostromelysin with (aminophenyl)mercuric acetate resulted in activation and loss of the propeptide in a manner identical with the wild-type, full-length protein. Kinetic comparisons using Nle11-substance P as a substrate showed that the wild-type stromelysin and the truncated form of the enzyme had similar kcat and Km values. Likewise, both enzymes displayed similar Ki values for a hydroxamate-containing peptide inhibitor. Taken together, these results indicate that the C-terminal portion of stromelysin is not required for proper folding of the catalytic domain, maintenance of the enzyme in a latent form, activation with an organomercurial, cleavage of a peptide substrate, or interaction with an inhibitor. Moreover, the active short form of stromelysin displayed a reduction in the C-terminal heterogeneity, a characteristic degradation of the full-length stromelysin, and thereby provides a more suitable protein for future structural studies. 相似文献

Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) play key roles in regulating tyrosine phosphorylation levels in cells, yet the identity of their substrates remains limited. We report here on the identification of PTPases capable of dephosphorylating the phosphorylated immune tyrosine-based activation motifs present in the T cell receptor zeta subunit. To characterize these PTPases, we purified enzyme activities directed against the phosphorylated T cell receptor zeta subunit by a combination of anion and cation chromatography procedures. A novel ELISA-based PTPase assay was developed to rapidly screen protein fractions for enzyme activity following the various chromatography steps. We present data that SHP-1 and PTPH1 are present in highly enriched protein fractions that exhibit PTPase activities toward a tyrosine-phosphorylated TCR zeta substrate (specific activity ranging from 0.23 to 40 pmol/min/microg). We also used a protein-tyrosine phosphatase substrate-trapping library comprising the catalytic domains of 47 distinct protein-tyrosine phosphatases, representing almost all the tyrosine phosphatases identified in the human genome. PTPH1 was the predominant phosphatase capable of complexing phospho-zeta. Subsequent transfection assays indicated that SHP-1 and PTPH1 are the two principal PTPases capable of regulating the phosphorylation state of the TCR zeta ITAMs, with PTPH1 directly dephosphorylating zeta. This is the first reported demonstration that PTPH1 is a candidate PTPase capable of interacting with and dephosphorylating TCR zeta. 相似文献

The family 9 cellulase gene celI of Clostridium thermocellum, was previously cloned, expressed, and characterized (G. P. Hazlewood, K. Davidson, J. I. Laurie, N. S. Huskisson, and H. J. Gilbert, J. Gen. Microbiol. 139:307-316, 1993). We have recloned and sequenced the entire celI gene and found that the published sequence contained a 53-bp deletion that generated a frameshift mutation, resulting in a truncated and modified C-terminal segment of the protein. The enzymatic properties of the wild-type protein were characterized and found to conform to those of other family 9 glycoside hydrolases with a so-called theme B architecture, where the catalytic module is fused to a family 3c carbohydrate-binding module (CBM3c); CelI also contains a C-terminal CBM3b. The intact recombinant CelI exhibited high levels of activity on all cellulosic substrates tested, with pH and temperature optima of 5.5 and 70 degrees C, respectively, using carboxymethylcellulose as a substrate. Native CelI was capable of solubilizing filter paper, and the distribution of reducing sugar between the soluble and insoluble fractions suggests that the enzyme acts as a processive cellulase. A truncated form of the enzyme, lacking the C terminal CBM3b, failed to bind to crystalline cellulose and displayed reduced activity toward insoluble substrates. A truncated form of the enzyme, in which both the cellulose-binding CBM3b and the fused CBM3c were removed, failed to exhibit significant levels of activity on any of the substrates examined. This study underscores the general nature of this type of enzymatic theme, whereby the fused CBM3c plays a critical accessory role for the family 9 catalytic domain and changes its character to facilitate processive cleavage of recalcitrant cellulose substrates. 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of a 72-kDa inositol-polyphosphate 5-phosphatase localized to the Golgi network 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The inositol-polyphosphate 5-phosphatase enzyme family removes the 5-position phosphate from both inositol phosphate and phosphoinositide signaling molecules. We have cloned and characterized a novel 5-phosphatase, which demonstrates a restricted substrate specificity and tissue expression. The 3.9-kb cDNA predicts for a 72-kDa protein with an N-terminal proline rich domain, a central 5-phosphatase domain, and a C-terminal CAAX motif. The 3. 9-kilobase mRNA showed a restricted expression but was abundant in testis and brain. Antibodies against the sequence detected a 72-kDa protein in the testis in the detergent-insoluble fraction. Indirect immunofluorescence of the Tera-1 cell line using anti-peptide antibodies to the 72-kDa 5-phosphatase demonstrated that the enzyme is predominantly located to the Golgi. Expression of green fluorescent protein-tagged 72-kDa 5-phosphatase in COS-7 cells revealed that the enzyme localized predominantly to the Golgi, mediated by the N-terminal proline-rich domain, but not the C-terminal CAAX motif. In vitro, the protein inserted into microsomal membranes on the cytoplasmic face of the membrane. Immunoprecipitated recombinant 72-kDa 5-phosphatase hydrolyzed phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3, 5-bisphosphate, forming phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, respectively. We propose that the novel 5-phosphatase hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 3,4, 5-trisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate on the cytoplasmic Golgi membrane and thereby may regulate Golgi-vesicular trafficking. 相似文献

We have approached the functioning of a MAP kinase, which is thought to be a "switch kinase" in the phosphorylation cascade initiated from various receptor tyrosine kinases including the insulin receptor. To do so, antipeptide antibodies were raised against the C-terminal portion of ERK1 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1), a protein kinase belonging to the family of MAP kinases. With these antipeptide antibodies, we observed the following: (i) a 44-kDa protein can be specifically recognized both under native and denaturing conditions; (ii) a 44-kDa phosphoprotein can be revealed in 32P-labeled cells; its phosphorylation is stimulated by insulin, sodium orthovanadate, and okadaic acid; (iii) a MBP kinase activity can be precipitated, which phosphorylates MBP on threonine residues, and which is stimulated by insulin, sodium orthovanadate, okadaic acid, and fetal calf serum; (iv) this MBP kinase activity appears to be correlated with the in vivo induced phosphorylation of the 44-kDa protein. We next studied the in vitro phosphorylation of this 44-kDa/ERK1-immunoreactive protein. A time- and manganese-dependent phosphorylation was stimulated by the in vitro addition of sodium orthovanadate. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the in vitro phosphorylated 44-kDa protein revealed both threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation. Importantly, this in vitro phosphorylation of MAP kinase results in activation of phosphorylation of added MBP substrate. As a whole, our data indicate that the 44-kDa phosphoprotein identified by our antipeptide antibodies very likely corresponds to a MAP kinase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Immunological characterization of rapeseed myrosinase 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
A purified 75-kDa myrosinase and a crude rapeseed myrosinase fraction were used as antigens to produce mouse anti-myrosinase monoclonal antibodies. The 75-kDa myrosinase was also used to produce a polyclonal rabbit antiserum. The antiserum and one monoclonal antibody reacted with three distinct rapeseed polypeptides of 75, 70 and 65 kDa (M75, M70 and M65, respectively). A second set of monoclonal antibodies reacted exclusively with the 75-kDa form of myrosinase, and a third set showed specificity towards two components of 52 and 50 kDa (myrosinase-binding proteins, MBP52 and MBP50, respectively). MBP52 and MBP50 lack inherent myrosinase activity, but are nevertheless capable of mediating immunoprecipitation of myrosinase due to their interaction with myrosinase. Gel chromatography and glycerol gradient centrifugation experiments resolved two myrosinase-containing fractions. One of these had an approximate molecular mass of 140 kDa and consisted of disulfide-linked dimers of the 75-kDa myrosinase. The other fraction was heterogeneous in size with molecular masses ranging from 250 kDa to approximately 1 MDa. The high-molecular-mass fractions contained complexes consisting of disulfide-linked 70-kDa and 65-kDa myrosinases and non-covalently bound 52-kDa and 50-kDa myrosinase-binding proteins. 相似文献

Phospholipid-Sensitive Ca2+ -Dependent Protein Kinase Preferentially Phosphorylates Serine-115 of Bovine Myelin Basic Protein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+ -dependent protein kinase (PL-Ca-PK) and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-PK) both preferentially phosphorylated serine residues of bovine myelin basic protein (MBP). Tryptic peptide maps of MBP phosphorylated by PL-Ca-PK or A-PK, however, revealed different phosphopeptides, suggesting a difference in the intramolecular substrate specificity for the two enzymes. Serine-115 of MBP, in the sequence (-Arg-Phe-Ser(115)-Trp-), was found to be a preferred and probably major phosphorylation site for PL-Ca-PK. Because serine-115 of bovine MBP corresponds to serine-113 of rabbit MBP, an in vivo phosphorylation site reported by Martenson et al. (1983), and PL-Ca-PK is present at a very high level in brain and myelin, it is suggested that the enzyme may be responsible for the in vivo phosphorylation of this and other sites in MBP. 相似文献

A continuous activity assay for protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), employing phosphotyrosine (P-Tyr) as a substrate, has been developed and applied to measure the activities of two purified enzymes, namely, the full length T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TC PTP) and its truncated form (TC delta C11 PTP). The reaction was followed by changes in ultraviolet absorption and fluorescence resulting from the dephosphorylation of P-Tyr. Both enzymes obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with Km = 304 microM, Vmax = 62,000 units/mg for TC PTP and Km = 194 microM, Vmax = 73,000 units/mg for TC delta C11 PTP. The D- and L-forms of P-Tyr are equally effective as substrates. The optimum pH for both enzymes is 4.75. The known effectors of PTPs have the predicted effects on catalytic activity. 相似文献

An acid proteinase was purified to apparent homogeneity from the plasmodia of a slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, by a combination of detergent extraction, acid precipitation, and column chromatographies on DEAE-Sephadex, hydroxylapatite, CM-Sephadex, and Sephadex G-100. The enzyme was shown to be composed of two polypeptide chains (a 31-kDa heavy chain and a 23-kDa light chain) cross-linked by disulfide bond(s). The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of the heavy chain was determined to be Ala-Gly-Val- Asp-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Val-Pro-Tyr-Val-Ile-Phe-Asp-Leu-Tyr-Gly-Ile-Pro-Tyr and that of the light chain to be Ala-Glu-Pro-Pro-Ile. The heavy chain contained carbohydrate moiety composed of mannose, glucosamine, fucose, and glucose. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 1.7 toward hemoglobin as a substrate. Among the proteinase inhibitors tested only diazoacetyl-D,L-norleucine methyl ester, a typical aspartic proteinase inhibitor, inhibited the acid proteinase in the presence of cupric ions. It was insensitive to the other typical aspartic proteinase inhibitors, pepstatin A and 1,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)propane. The enzyme hydrolyzed Lys-Pro-Ile-Glu-Phe(4-NO2)-Arg-Leu at the Phe-Phe(4-NO2) bond, but could not hydrolyze another synthetic pepsin-substrate, N-acetyl-L-phenylalanyl-3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine. The enzyme showed a unique substrate specificity toward oxidized insulin B chain. The major cleavage sites were the bonds Gly8-Ser9, Leu11-Val12, Cya19-Gly20, and Phe24-Phe25, and the Gly8-Ser9 bond was most susceptible. These results indicate that the enzyme is a novel type of intracellular acid proteinase with a unique substrate specificity. 相似文献

Immunoprecipitation of native rat liver microsomal 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, phosphorylated by [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of reductase kinase, revealed a major 97-kDa 32P band which disappeared upon competition with pure unlabeled 53-kDa HMG-CoA reductase. A linear correlation between the expressed/total HMG-CoA reductase activity ratio (E/T) and the fraction of 32P released from the 97-kDa enzyme established the validity of the E/T ratio as an index of HMG-CoA reductase phosphorylation state in isolated microsomes. Incubation of rat hepatocytes with mevalonolactone resulted in a rapid increase in phosphorylation of microsomal reductase (decrease in E/T) followed by an enhanced rate of decay of total reductase activity which was proportional to the loss of 97-kDa enzyme mass determined by immunoblots. Inhibitors of lysosome function dampened both basal and mevalonate-induced reductase degradation in hepatocytes. In an in vitro system using the calcium-dependent protease calpain-2, up to 5-fold greater yields of soluble 52-56-kDa fragments of reductase (immunoblot and total activity) were obtained when the substrate 97-kDa reductase was phosphorylated before proteolysis. Immunoblots of unlabeled phosphorylated reductase compared with gels of immunoprecipitated 32P-labeled reductase resolved a 52-56-kDa doublet which contained 32P solely in the upper band. These data suggest that a major phosphorylation site of HMG-CoA reductase lies within the "linker" segment joining the membrane spanning and cytoplasmic domains of the native 97-kDa protein. 相似文献

The C-terminal phosphorylation domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor is believed to regulate protein kinase activity as well as mediate the assembly of signal transduction complexes. The structure and dynamics of this proposed autoregulatory domain were examined by labeling the extreme C terminus of the EGFR intracellular domain (ICD) with an extrinsic fluorophore. Fluorescence anisotropy decay analysis of the nonphosphorylated EGFR-ICD yielded two rotational correlation times: a longer time, consistent with the global rotational motion of a 60- to 70-kDa protein with an elongated globular conformation, and a shorter time, presumably contributed by segmental motion near the fluorophore. A C-terminally truncated form of EGFR-ICD yielded a slow component consistent with the rotational motion of the 38-kDa kinase core. These findings suggested a structural arrangement of the EGFR-ICD in which the C-terminal phosphorylation domain interacts with the kinase core to move as an extended structure. A marked reduction in the larger correlation time of EGFR-ICD was observed upon its autophosphorylation. This dynamic component was faster than predicted for the globular motion of the 62-kDa EGFR-ICD, suggesting an increase in the mobility of the C-terminal domain and a likely displacement of this domain from the kinase core. The interaction between the SH2 domain of c-Src and the phosphorylated EGFR C-terminal domain was shown to impede its mobility. Circular dichroism spectroscopy indicated that the EGFR C-terminal domain possessed a significant level of secondary structure in the form of alpha-helices and beta-sheets, with a marginal change in beta-sheet content occurring upon phosphorylation. 相似文献

Phosphatase I purified from a psychrophile (Shewanella sp.) [Tsuruta et al. (1998) J. Biochem. 123, 219-225] dephosphorylated O-phospho-L-tyrosine and phospho-tyrosyl residues in phosphorylated poly(Glu4,Tyr1) random polymer (polyEY) and phosphorylated myelin basic protein (MBP) but not phosphoseryl and/or phosphothreonyl residues in phosphorylated histone H1, casein and phosphorylase a, indicating that the enzyme showed protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (PTPase, EC 3.1.3.48)-like activity in vitro. The enzyme was remarkably inhibited by diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC), monoiodoacetic acid (MIAA), and monoiodoacetamide (MIAM). Binding of 1 mol of DEPC to 1 mol of the enzyme caused complete inhibition of the enzyme; and 0.88 mol of 1-carboxymethylated histidine per mole of the enzyme was found when 90% of enzyme activity was lost by modification with 14C-MIAA. These results indicated that this psychrophilic enzyme was a PTPase-like enzyme with histidine as its catalytic residue. 相似文献

Utilizing three proteins plus tyrosine-glutamate copolymer as substrates, all of which are subjected to (near) stoichiometrical phosphorylation exclusively on tyrosine residues, we partially purified four different protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) from rat liver cytosol which differed in substrate preference. Of the four PTPases, tentatively termed L1, L2, L3, and L4, PTPase L1 was purified to apparent homogeneity by a procedure involving chromatography on DEAE-cellulose at pH 7.0, Blue Sepharose, DEAE-cellulose at pH 7.6, hydroxyapatite, Phenyl Sepharose, Mono Q, and TSKgel Heparin. PTPase L1 was purified about 7000-fold from the extract and 0.27 mg was isolated from 1000 g liver corresponding to a yield of 13% from the Blue Sepharose step where it had become freed from any other PTPases detectable by our assay procedure. The purified PTPase L1 showed a major protein band of 67 kDa on SDS/PAGE. Catalytically, PTPase L1 had a specific activity of about 6500 nmol Pi released min-1mg-1 toward tyrosine-glutamate copolymer phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. PTPase L1 exhibited very low sensitivities to PTPase inhibitors such as zinc acetate, sodium vanadate, and acidic compounds as compared with those of most of the PTPases purified thus far. Amino acid sequence analysis of the purified PTPase L1 revealed a partial peptide sequence showing similarity to the catalytic domain core sequences conserved in the PTPase family. PTPase L1 was most similar to a PTPase termed PTP1C encoded by a human breast carcinoma cDNA but the identity was 55% over 117 residues spanning nearly half of the catalytic domain of PTP1C. The analysis also revealed another partial peptide sequence (113 residues) 70% identical with the sequence corresponding to 68% of two adjacent copies of the src homology region 2(SH-2 domain) identified in PTP1C. Besides those peptide sequences, PTPase L1 had regional sequences which were 70-90% identical with the residues lying between the two SH-2 domains or between the more C-terminal SH-2 domain and the catalytic domain of the carcinoma PTPase. 相似文献
