By cloning the cDNA coding for the membrane associated actin-binding protein p24, we identified a repetitive sequence motif consisting of the amino acids Gly, Tyr, Pro, Gln which is characteristic for a gene family in Dictyostelium discoideum. Using a cDNA probe corresponding to this motif, we isolated cDNA clones coding for a protein of the annexin family. On the basis of a long NH2-terminal sequence encompassing the Gly/Tyr/Pro/Gln motifs, the Dictyostelium annexin was identified as a homolog of vertebrate annexin VII (synexin). The mRNA coding for the Dictyostelium annexin VII has a size of 1.6 kilobases and is present during all developmental stages. Annexin VII is coded for by a single gene in Dictyostelium. A mutant deficient in annexin VII was isolated using a vector which carried the amino-terminal third of the Dictyostelium annexin VII cDNA followed by a viral epitope specific for a monoclonal antibody and a stop codon. Using this approach, homologous recombination in the annexin VII gene led to an expression of the viral epitope under the control of the endogenous annexin VII promoter. Lack of annexin VII is not a lethal event for D. discoideum, and the cells are able to undergo development on agar plates.  相似文献

The intraperitoneal administration of peroxovanadate results in the rapid accumulation of many tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in the liver and kidney of treated animals. The availability of large pools of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins derived from normal tissues facilitates the purification and identification of previously unknown targets for cellular tyrosine kinases. Using this procedure, we have thus far identified four proteins in the liver and kidney of peroxovanadate-treated dogs. Two of these, annexin VII and annexin XI, were novel and had not been previously reported to be substrates of tyrosine kinases while the remaining two, ezrin and clathrin, have been reported to be tyrosine phosphorylated in some cell culture systems. In the present study, isolated proteins were identified both by sequence analysis and immunological methods. Annexin VII and annexin XI are present in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells and both were tyrosine phosphorylated in response to a physiological ligand, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). Furthermore, the extent of tyrosine phosphorylation in response to PDGF-BB was augmented by the co-addition of peroxovanadate to cell cultures. In vitro phosphorylation assays showed that PDGF receptor, calcium-dependent tyrosine kinase (CADTK/Pyk-2), Src kinase, and epidermal growth factor receptor all were able to phosphorylate purified annexin VII and XI on tyrosine residues. These findings confirm the usefulness of phosphatase inhibition by peroxovanadate as a tool for identifying previously unknown physiological targets for cellular protein tyrosine kinases.  相似文献

The plasma membrane of the heart muscle cell and its underlying cytoskeleton are vitally important to the function of the heart. Annexin A6 is a major cellular calcium and phospholipid binding protein. Here we show that annexin A6 copurifies with sarcolemma isolated from pig heart. Two pools of annexin A6 are present in the sarcolemma fraction, one dependent on calcium and one that resists extraction by the calcium chelator EGTA. Potential annexin A6 binding proteins in the sarcolemma fraction were identified using Far Western blotting. Two major annexin A6 binding proteins were identified as actin and annexin A6 itself. Annexin A6 bound to itself both in the presence and in the absence of calcium ions. Sites for self association were mapped by performing Western blots on proteolytic fragments of recombinant annexin A6. Annexin A6 bound preferentially not only to the N terminal fragment (domains I-IV, residues 1-352) but also to C-terminal fragments corresponding to domains V+VI and domains VII+VIII. Actin binding to annexin A6 was calcium-dependent and exclusively to the N-terminal fragment of annexin A6. A calcium-dependent complex of annexin A6 and actin may stabilize the cardiomyocyte sarcolemma during cell stimulation.  相似文献

Intestinal cholesterol absorption is specifically inhibited by the 2-azetidinone cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe. Photoreactive ezetimibe analogues specifically label a 145-kDa protein in the brush border membrane of enterocytes from rabbit small intestine identified as aminopeptidase N (CD13). In zebrafish and mouse small intestinal cytosol, a heterocomplex of M(r) 52 kDa between annexin II and caveolin 1 was suggested as a target of ezetimibe. In contrast, in the cytosol and brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) from rabbit small intestine of control animals or rabbits treated with the nonabsorbable cholesterol absorption inhibitor AVE 5530, both annexin II and caveolin 1 were exclusively present as monomers without any heterocomplex formation. Upon immunoprecipitation with annexin II a 52-kDa band was observed after immunostaining with annexin II antibodies, whereas no staining of a 52-kDa band occurred with anti-caveolin 1 antibodies. Vice versa, a 52-kDa band obtained by immunoprecipitation with caveolin 1 antibodies did not stain with annexin II-antibodies. The intensity of the 52-kDa band was dependent on the amount of antibody and was also observed with anti-actin or anti-APN antibodies suggesting that the 52-kDa band is a biochemical artefact. After incubation of cytosol or BBMV with radioactively labelled ezetimibe analogues, no significant amounts of the ezetimibe analogues could be detected in the immunoprecipitate with caveolin-1 or annexin II antibodies. Photoaffinity labelling of rabbit small intestinal BBMV with ezetimibe analogues did not result in labelling of proteins being immunoreactive with annexin II, caveolin 1 or a 52-kDa heterocomplex. These findings indicate that the rabbit small intestine does not contain an annexin II/caveolin 1 heterocomplex as a target for ezetimibe.  相似文献

An efficient procedure for affinity purification of human tissue factor apoprotein that requires binding of only microgram quantities of human factor VII to anti-factor VII agarose is described. Factor VII was added to a 2% Triton X-100 extract of acetone brain powder in the presence of calcium. The resultant factor VII/tissue factor/calcium complex was bound to anti-factor VII-agarose, and the bound tissue factor was then eluted with EDTA. The eluate was passed through anti-goat IgG-agarose to remove contaminating goat IgG that leaks from the anti-factor VII column. Yield (units of activity) was 27%; specific activity was 2400 U/mg, which corresponds to that reported by others. The purified apoprotein migrated as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular weight of 47,000. Immunostaining with a goat anti-tissue factor IgG raised against the purified material yielded a major band of the same apparent molecular weight. Factor VII remains bound to the column and, therefore, for subsequent use preincubation of tissue factor with factor VII and calcium is not required. Thus, the present purification procedure markedly reduces the amount of factor VII needed as affinity ligand to purify tissue factor apoprotein.  相似文献

Several synexin (annexin VII) mRNAs have been identified by screening a human fibroblast cDNA library. One type of message contained an alternatively spliced cassette exon, predicting two isoforms of synexin differing in the N-terminal domain. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of synexin mRNA from various fetal and adult tissues, from human and monkey, revealed that the alternative splicing event is tissue-regulated; synexin mRNA containing the cassette exon is prevalent in brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. This is supported by Western blot analysis showing that muscle synexin (annexin VIIb) is larger than synexin from lung (annexin VIIa). The muscle and lung isoforms have the same molecular mass as the recombinant synexins expressed in Escherichia coli using cDNAs containing or lacking the cassette exon, respectively. The difference in size is consistent with the molecular masses predicted from the proteins encoded by the alternatively spliced synexin mRNAs. Another type of synexin mRNA contained a longer 3'-noncoding region generated by the selection of an alternate poly(A) signal. Northern analysis of human fibroblast RNA showed the presence of two bands (2.0- and 2.4-kilobase) when hybridized to a cDNA fragment of the coding region of synexin, but only the 2.4-kilobase band hybridized to a probe made from the longer 3' end.  相似文献

In order to investigate the cellular system of the freshwater sponge, Ephydatia fluviatilis, we isolated a molecular marker for the most prominent cell type, the choanocyte. After feeding sponge with fluorescent beads, fluorescent-labeled choanocytes were collected by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). By protein profiling choanocyte and archeocyte (stem cell)-rich fractions, proteins characteristic of choanocyte were identified. The partial amino-acid sequence of one of the proteins characteristic of choanocyte matches the deduced amino-acid sequence of sponge expression tag (EST) clones and mouse annexin VII. These EST clones overlap and encode a protein, designated Ef annexin, which includes four annexin domains. Whole mount in situ hybridization shows Ef annexin expression in chamber-forming choanocytes in 7-day-old sponge, leading us to conclude that Ef annexin can be used as a choanocyte marker. In the early development stage, Ef annexin expression can be detected in both large single cells, characteristic of archeocytes, and cells forming 2-, 4- and multiple-cell clusters. These results indicate that Ef annexin is initially expressed in the choanocyte-committed archeocyte which then undergoes several mitotic cell divisions to form a choanocyte chamber. This suggests that the single choanocyte chamber essentially originates from a single archeocyte.  相似文献

Ca(2+)-dependent annexin self-association on membrane surfaces   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
W J Zaks  C E Creutz 《Biochemistry》1991,30(40):9607-9615
Annexin self-association was studied with 90 degrees light scattering and resonance energy transfer between fluorescein (donor) and eosin (acceptor) labeled proteins. Synexin (annexin VII), p32 (annexin IV), and p67 (annexin VI) self-associated in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner in solution. However, this activity was quite labile and, especially for p32 and p67, was not consistently observed. When bound to chromaffin granule membranes, the three proteins consistently self-associated and did so at Ca2+ levels (pCa 5.0-4.5) approximately 10-fold lower than required when in solution. Phospholipid vesicles containing phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine (1:1 or 1:3) were less effective at supporting annexin polymerization than were those containing phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine (1:0, 1:1, or 1:3). The annexins bound chromaffin granule membranes in a positively cooperative manner under conditions where annexin self-association was observed, and both phenomena were inhibited by trifluoperazine. Ca(2+)-dependent chromaffin granule membrane aggregation, induced by p32 or synexin, was associated with intermembrane annexin polymerization at Ca2+ levels less than pCa 4, but not at higher Ca2+ concentrations, suggesting that annexin self-association may be necessary for membrane contact at low Ca2+ levels but not at higher Ca2+ levels where the protein may bind two membranes as a monomer.  相似文献

Interactions between human red band 2.1 with spectrin and depleted inside-out vesicles were studied by fluorescence resonance energy transfer and batch microcalorimetry. The band 2.1-spectrin binding isotherm is consistent with a one to one mole ratio. The association constant of 1.4 X 10(8) M-1 corresponds to the association free energy of -11.1 kcal/mol. Under our experimental conditions, the enthalpy of interaction of band 2.1-spectrin was found to be -10.8 kcal/mol and is independent of the protein mole ratio. The calculated entropic factor (-T delta S = 0.3 kcal/mol) strongly suggests a predominantly enthalpic character of the reaction. In addition, we investigated the role of band 2.1 on the binding of band 4.1 to spectrin [Podgorski, A., & Elbaum, D. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 7871-7876] and concluded that only small, if any, alterations of binding of band 4.1 to spectrin have taken place in the presence or absence of band 2.1. This suggests thermodynamic independence of the binding sites. Although the attachment of the cytoskeletal network to the membrane takes place through, at least, two different interactions, band 2.1-band 3 and 4.1-glycophorin, the relative enthalpy values suggest that band 2.1 contributes significantly more than band 4.1 to the energy of the interaction. In addition, we observed that polymerization of actin is modulated by the cytoskeletons as judged by their effect on the rate of actin polymerization.  相似文献

The polypeptide pattern of red blood cell (RBC) membranes from cow, sheep, horse, rabbit, guinea pig, rat, mouse, analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, was compared to human RBC counterpart. Some qualitative and quantitative differences were noted. Among the high molecular weight components the bands 2.1- 2.3 appeared slightly decreased in rabbit and rat and increased in sheep RBC membranes. Band 3 appeared to have a higher molecular weight in the cow, guinea pig and mouse RBCs, and a lower molecular weight in the sheep RBCs. Band 4.1 from the RBC membranes of cow, sheep, rabbit and guinea pig was splitted into two sub-bands, while band 4.2 overlapped with band 4.1 in horse and guinea pig RBC membranes. There are marked differences in the number and position of bands in the 4.5 region, while band 4.9 is present in higher amounts in horse, rabbit and guinea pig RBC membranes. Band 6 (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase) was undetectable in horse, rat and mouse RBC membranes and was decreased in sheep, rabbit and guinea pig. There are also major differences in the region of band 7 and below ("post-7"). Band 8 was undetectable in horse, cow and guinea pig, and was in higher amounts in rat. A band corresponding to a molecular weight of about 22 kD in the "post-8" region was present only in guinea pig RBC membranes.  相似文献

Activated neutrophils (ANs) increase sickle red blood cell (SRBC) retention/adhesion in the pulmonary circulation. This study investigates the role of neutrophil activation and SRBC retention/adhesion in the pulmonary circulation through a mechanism that involves increasing phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the external membrane surface of the SRBCs (PS-exposed). With the use of flow cytometry, double-labeling studies were performed with a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate fluorescence, and the erythroid-specific marker glycophorin A to assess for the percentage of PS-exposed normal and SRBCs at baseline and after coincubation with ANs. Additional studies were performed that assessed retention/adhesion of SRBCs in the isolated rat lung using (51)Cr-labeled SRBC alone, SRBC + AN, SRBC + AN + zileuton, and SRBC + AN + annexin V. Specific activities of lung and perfusate were measured, and the number of retained SRBCs per gram lung was calculated. Flow cytometry demonstrated that ANs increased the percentage of PS-exposed normal and SRBCs. The 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor zileuton attenuated AN-mediated increases in PS-exposed SRBCs and decreased SRBC retention/adherence in the lung on histological sections. Similarly, in the isolated perfused lung and in histological lung sections, retention/adherence of SRBCs cloaked with annexin V was attenuated in the presence of ANs. We conclude that ANs enhance the adhesion of SRBCs to vascular endothelium by increasing red blood cell membrane externalization of PS. Zileuton attenuation of AN-mediated SRBC PS externalization suggests that a 5-lipoxygenase product(s), secreted by the AN, plays a vital role in altering the adhesive properties of PS-exposed SRBCs to vascular endothelium.  相似文献

To better understand the carcinogenesis of bladder cancer in Taiwan, we utilized the proteomic approach to search for potential biomarkers of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). Analysis by 2-DE and MS/MS indicated that seven proteins are down-regulated and three proteins up-regulated in grade III samples as compared with those of grade II. Of these deregulated proteins, fatty acid binding proteins, annexin V, heat-shock protein 27, and lactate dehydrogenase have been shown to be associated with bladder cancer. Our studies also found altered expression of a group of proteins that have not been documented previously in bladder cancer, including annexin I, 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase, galectin-1, lysophospholipase and mitochondrial short-chain enoyl-coenzyme A hydratase 1 precursor. These results illustrate a pattern of differential protein expression between low- and high-grade tumors and it may be utilized as the molecular fingerprinting of a subset of bladder cancers. In addition, the present study provides a valuable resource in the study of pathological mechanisms in cancers of urothelial origin. The immunohistochemical staining of grade II and III TCC samples with antiserum to annexin I protein was utilized to confirm that the annexin I protein is up-regulated in grade III TCC.  相似文献

Right-side-out vesicles derived from red blood cells treated with chymotrypsin retain specific anion transport function (defined as transport sensitive to the specific inhibitor, 4,4′-diisothiocyano-2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid (DIDS)), even though the transport protein, band 3, is cleaved into two segments of 60 and 35 kdaltons. In contrast, vesicles derived from alkali-stripped ghosts treated with relatively high concentrations of chymotrypsin retain almost no specific anion function. The loss of function appears to be related to additional cleavages of band 3 protein that occur in treated ghosts, the 60-kdalton segment being reduced first to a 17- and then to a 15-kdalton segment and the 35-kdalton segment being reduced to a 9-kdalton segment plus a carbohydrate containing fragment. The chymotryptic cleavages of band 3 protein of ghosts are preferentially inhibited by high ionic strength, the production of the 9-kdalton segment being somewhat slower than that of the 15-kdalton segment. Vesicles derived from ghosts treated with chymotrypsin at different ionic strengths show a graded reduction in specific anion transport activity, but it was not possible to determine, definitively, which of the additional cleavages was inhibitory. In the light of these data and other information, the functional role of the segments of band 3 is discussed.  相似文献

Red cell hemolysates from a Finnish population sample (n = 242) were fractionated by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel, and S-formylglutathione hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.12) was located by activity staining. Polymorphism, which is probably genetically determined, was found. The samples from most persons studied gave one major enzyme band, whereas for 6 persons three enzyme bands were found. The enzyme is a dimer, and the polymorphism observed appears to result from two alleles, FGH1 and FGH2 at an autosomal locus. The frequency found for FGH1 was 0.988.  相似文献

Hereditary ovalocytes from a Mauritian subject are extremely rigid, with a shear elastic modulus about three times that of normal cells, and have increased resistance to invasion by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. The genetic anomaly resides in band 3; the protein gives rise to chymotryptic fragments with reduced mobility in SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, but this is a result of anomalous binding of SDS and not a higher molecular weight. Analysis of the band 3 gene reveals (1) a point mutation (Lys56----Glu), which also occurs in a common asymptomatic band 3 (Memphis) variant and governs the electrophoretic properties, and (2) a deletion of nine amino acid residues, including a proline residue, encompassing the interface between the membrane-associated and the N-terminal cytoplasmic domains. The interaction of the mutant band 3 with ankyrin appears unperturbed. The fraction of band 3 capable of undergoing translation diffusion in the membrane is greatly reduced in the ovalocytes. Cells containing the asymptomatic band 3 variant were normal with respect to all the properties that we have studied. Possible mechanisms by which a structural change in band 3 at the membrane interface could regulate rigidity are examined.  相似文献

Some annexins, including annexins I, II, IV, and VII, can promote membrane aggregation. To identify amino acids involved in annexin I-mediated membrane aggregation, we generated truncated mutants of human annexin I lacking various parts of the amino terminus. The in vitro vesicle binding and aggregation activities of these mutants indicated that both the amino-terminal region of annexin I spanning residues 26-29 and the carboxy-terminal core are involved in membrane aggregation. This notion was further supported by the finding that a chimera composed of residues 24-35 of annexin I and the core of annexin V has vesicle aggregation activity that is significantly higher than that of annexin V but lower than that of annexin I. Further site-specific mutations in the amino-terminal region of annexin I indicated that Lys-26 and Lys-29 are essential for its membrane aggregation activity. The comparison of tryptic digest patterns of free and vesicle-bound wild type and K29E mutant suggests that a primary role of Lys-26 and Lys-29 is to induce and stabilize an active conformation of annexin I for vesicle aggregation.  相似文献

Annexin II is a heterotetramer, consisting of two 11-kDa (p11) and two 36-kDa (p36) subunits, that is produced by osteoclasts and stimulates osteoclast formation. However, its receptor is unknown. We showed that annexin II binds to normal primary human marrow stromal cells and the Paget's marrow-derived PSV10 stromal cell line to induce osteoclast formation. 125I-Labeled annexin II binding assays with PSV10 cells demonstrated that there was a single class of annexin II receptors with a Kd of 5.79 nm and Bmax of 2.13 x 10(5) receptors/cell. Annexin III or annexin V did not bind this receptor. Using 125I-labeled annexin II binding to screen NIH3T3 transfected with a human marrow cDNA expression library, we identified a putative annexin II receptor clone, which encoded a novel 26-kDa type I membrane receptor protein when expressed in HEK 293 cells. HEK 293 cells transformed with the cloned annexin II receptor cDNA showed a similar binding affinity to annexin II as that observed in PSV10 cells. Chemical cross-linking experiments with biotinylated annexin II and intact PSV10 cells identified a 55-kDa band on Western blot analysis that reacted with both an anti-p11 antibody and streptavidin but not anti-p36 antibody. A rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against the putative recombinant annexin II receptor also recognized the same 26-kDa protein band detected in PSV10 cells. Importantly, the annexin II receptor antibody dose-dependently blocked the stimulatory effects of annexin II on human osteoclast formation, demonstrating that the receptor mediates the effects of annexin II on osteoclast formation.  相似文献

In an attempt to identify potential regulatory mechanisms for erythrocyte membrane-cytoskeletal interactions, the kinetics and pH dependence of the band 3-ankyrin interaction were investigated. Association of 125I-ankyrin with KI-stripped inside-out erythrocyte membrane vesicles was found to proceed in two kinetic phases. The initial, fast phase (t1/2 approximately 15-30 min) involved predominantly the binding of ankyrin to low affinity sites (KD approximately 130 nM) in a pH-dependent manner. The apparent pKa values describing this reversible pH dependence (7.2 +/- 0.1 and 9.2 +/- 0.1) defined states of band 3 with high, moderate, and no capacity to bind ankyrin (in order of increasing pH). Since the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 also exists in 3 distinct conformational states characterized by apparent pKa values of 7.2 and 9.2, it was hypothesized that the reversible structural equilibrium in band 3 could influence ankyrin binding. The second or slow phase of ankyrin binding to band 3 involved the conversion of low to high affinity sites (KD approximately 13 nM). This phase, which was largely temperature and pH independent, required roughly an order of magnitude longer to reach completion than the fast phase. Unfortunately, even though the slow phase could be cleanly separated from the fast phase at low pH, insufficient data were available to formulate a physical interpretation of its origin. Significantly, however, even after completion of the slow phase under the most quantitative binding conditions identified, a maximum of only 26% of the band 3 was found to bind ankyrin in situ. Although higher ankyrin-band 3 stoichiometries may be achievable with the isolated cytoplasmic fragment of band 3, we interpret the above 1:4 stoichiometry to suggest that the tetramer of band 3 constitutes the predominant ankyrin binding oligomer of band 3 on the membrane.  相似文献

CAP-50 is a member of annexin family proteins which binds specifically to calcyclin in a Ca2+ dependent manner (Tokumitsu. H., Mizutani. A., Minami. H., Kobayashi. R., and Hidaka. H. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267,8919-8924). The cDNA representing the rabbit form of this protein has been cloned from rabbit lung cDNA library. Sequence analysis of two overlapping clones revealed a 81-nucleotides 5'-nontranslated region, 1512-nucleotides of open reading frame, a 672-nucleotides 3'-nontranslated region, and a poly(A) tail. Authenticity of the clones was confirmed by comparison of portions of the deduced amino acid sequence with eight sequences of proteolytic peptides obtained from rabbit lung protein. CAP-50 cDNA encodes a 503 residue protein with a calculated M(r) of 54,043 and shows that the protein is composed of four imperfect repeats and hydrophobic N-terminal region. C-terminal region including four imperfect repeats shows 58.1% identity with human synexin (annexin VII), 48.0% identity with annexin I, 47.4% identity with annexin II, 60.1% identity with annexin IV, 54.5% identity with annexin V. Hydrophobic N-terminal region composed of 202 amino acid residues is not homologous with other annexin proteins suggesting that CAP-50 is a novel member of annexin family proteins.  相似文献
