While a role has been ascribed to the gamma-carboxyglutamate (Gla) residues in vitamin K-dependent coagulation proteins and the enzyme catalyzing this posttranslational modification has been identified and partially characterized, both the functional significance of a second posttranslationally synthesized amino acid found in these proteins, beta-hydroxyaspartate (Hya), and the aspartyl beta-hydroxylating enzyme remain to be determined. We now report that inhibitors of 2-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, such as dipyridyl, o-phenanthroline, and pyridine 2,4-dicarboxylate, block hydroxylation of Asp64 in recombinant factor IX molecules produced in three different mammalian expression systems. This hydroxylation was not inhibited by the specific copper chelators 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline or D-penicillamine. The Gla levels in these proteins were unaffected by these compounds and demonstrate that carboxylation proceeds independently of hydroxylation. Using these Hya-deficient recombinant factor IX molecules we demonstrate that this residue does not play a significant role in factor IX binding to endothelial cells under equilibrium conditions. From additional binding studies we have concluded that the Gla domain of factor IX is a major cell binding domain of factor IX. Furthermore, in contrast to studies demonstrating a marked loss of one-stage clotting activity in recombinant factors IX following site-directed mutations of Asp64 to neutral or basic residues (Rees, D. J. G., Jones, I. M., Handford, P. A., Walter, S. J., Esnouf, M. P., Smith, K. J., and Brownlee, G. J. (1988) EMBO J. 7, 2053-2061), we have not found a decrease of one-stage clotting activity with Hya-deficient factor IX. Hya-deficient proteins produced in this manner may prove to be more appropriate to elucidate the function of Hya than those produced by site-directed mutagenesis. 相似文献

Expression and characterization of human factor IX and factor IX-factor X chimeras in mouse C127 cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Human blood clotting factor IX, and two chimeric molecules of factor IX, in which the first epidermal growth factor-like domain or both epidermal growth factor-like domains have been replaced by that of human factor X, have been expressed in mouse C127 cells. The recombinants have been purified using a metal ion-dependent monoclonal antibody specific for residues 1-42 of human factor IX. All recombinant molecules are activated normally by human factor XIa in the presence of calcium ion. Activation of the factor IX recombinants by factor VIIa-tissue factor appears to be normal for the epidermal growth factor-1 exchange but considerably reduced for the construction containing both epidermal growth factor-like domains of factor X. The analysis of gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues reveals that all of the purified recombinants are almost fully carboxylated. The extent of aspartic acid hydroxylation at residue 64 is 60% for all recombinants. The chimeric molecule with both epidermal growth factor-like domains from factor X has about 4% normal activity in the activated partial thromboplastin time assay. In contrast, the construct containing the first epidermal growth factor-like domain of factor X shows essentially normal clotting activity. Thus, it is unlikely that this domain is involved in a unique interaction with factor VIII. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of two growth factor-stimulated protein kinases that phosphorylate the epidermal growth factor receptor at threonine 669. 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28

A growth factor-stimulated protein kinase activity that phosphorylates the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor at Thr669 has been described (Countaway, J. L., Northwood, I. C., and Davis, R. J. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 10828-10835). Anion-exchange chromatography demonstrated that this protein kinase activity was accounted for by two enzymes. The first peak of activity eluted from the column corresponded to the microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) kinase. However, the second peak of activity was found to be a distinct enzyme. We present here the purification of this enzyme from human tumor KB cells by sequential ion-exchange chromatography. The isolated protein kinase was identified as a 46-kDa protein by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. Gel filtration chromatography demonstrated that the enzyme was functional in a monomeric state. A kinetic analysis of the purified enzyme was performed at 22 degrees C using a synthetic peptide substrate based on the primary sequence of the EGF receptor (KREL VEPLT669PSGEAPNQALLR). The Km(app) for ATP was 40 +/- 5 microM (mean +/- S.D., n = 3). GTP was not found to be a substrate for the purified enzyme. The Km(app) for the synthetic peptide substrate was 260 +/- 40 microM (mean +/- S.D., n = 3). The Vmax(app) for the isolated protein kinase was determined to be 400-900 nmol/mg/min. The purified enzyme was designated EGF receptor Thr669 (ERT) kinase. It is likely that the MAP2 and ERT kinases account for the phosphorylation of the EGF receptor at Thr669 observed in cultured cells. The marked stimulation of protein kinase activity caused by growth factors indicates that these enzymes may have an important function during signal transduction. 相似文献

A radioimmunoassay for human epidermal growth factor receptor 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The development of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the human epidermal growth factor receptor solubilized with nonionic detergents which employs iodinated epidermal growth factor (125I-EGF) as the specific ligand is described. A monoclonal antibody (R1) that binds specifically to human EGF receptors [Waterfield, M. D., et al. (1982) J. Cell Biochem. 20, 149-161] was used to separate solubilized receptors saturated with 125I-EGF from free ligand by absorption to protein A-Sepharose, and the bound radioactivity was determined. The RIA was linear when increasing amounts of solubilized membrane protein were added and, when compared to the standard polyethylene glycol assay, was more reproducible. In addition, the background nonspecific binding obtained in the presence of a hundred-fold excess of unlabeled EGF was less in the RIA. Substitution of normal mouse serum for the monoclonal antibody gave very low nonspecific background ligand binding and avoided the use of large amounts of unlabeled EGF in the assay. Two major classes of binding sites for EGF were observed in membrane preparations from the cervical carcinoma cell line A431 or from normal human placental tissue. These were present in approximately equal amounts, with apparent dissociation constants of 4 X 10(-10) and 4 X 10(-9) M. Upon solubilization with the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, only one class of EGF binding sites was detected in both cases, with a dissociation constant of 3 X 10(-8) M. The RIA can be used to monitor receptor purification and for quantitation of receptor number and affinity in various cell types. 相似文献

A unique O-glycan structure, Xylalpha1-3Xylalpha1-3Glcbeta1-O-Ser is found on the consensus sequence C-X-S-X-P-C (X denotes any amino acid) in epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains of plasma proteins such as clotting factor VII and IX. One of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of this trisaccharide, UDP-d-xylose:beta-d-glucoside 1,3-d-xylosyltransferase has been identified in HepG2 cells (Omichi, K., Aoki, K., Minamida, S., and Hase, S. Eur. J. Biochem. 245, 143-146 [1997]). Here, we report that this enzyme activity can be detected in bovine liver and that the enzyme has been purified from the microsomal fraction. The enzyme was purified 6200-fold in terms of specific activity and ran as a single band on native-PAGE and isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis. The best acceptor substrate of those tested was the EGF-like domain of bovine factor IX carrying beta-glucoside at Ser53. The Km value for this substrate was 34 muM. Comparison of initial velocity with various acceptor substrates shows that this xylosyltransferase recognizes not only the glucose moiety to which xylose is transferred but also the tertiary structure of the EGF-like domain. With regard to the donor substrate, the enzyme does not recognize UDP-d-glucose but does recognize UDP-d-xylose. 相似文献

The three-dimensional structure of activated factor IX comprises multiple contacts between the two epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains. One of these is a salt bridge between Glu(78) and Arg(94), which is essential for binding of factor IXa to its cofactor factor VIII and for factor VIII-dependent factor X activation (Christophe, O. D., Lenting, P. J., Kolkman, J. A., Brownlee, G. G., and Mertens, K. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 222-227). We now addressed the putative hydrophobic contact at the interface between the EGF-like domains. Recombinant factor IX chimeras were constructed in which hydrophobic regions Phe(75)-Phe(77) and Lys(106)-Val(108) were replaced by the corresponding sites of factor X and factor VII. Activated factor IX/factor X chimeras were indistinguishable from normal factor IXa with respect to factor IXa enzymatic activity. In contrast, factor IXa(75-77)/factor VII displayed approximately 2-fold increased factor X activation in the presence of factor VIII, suggesting that residues 75-77 contribute to cofactor-dependent factor X activation. Activation of factor X by factor IX(106-108)/factor VII was strongly decreased, both in the absence and presence of factor VIII. Activity could be restored by simultaneous substitution of the hydrophobic sites in both EGF-like domains for factor VII residues. These data suggest that factor IXa enzymatic activity requires hydrophobic contact between the two EGF-like domains. 相似文献

5'-Nucleotidase from human seminal plasma was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity and some of its kinetic and molecular properties compared with those of 5'-nucleotidase from bull seminal plasma. The purification of the enzyme was achieved by using the same affinity chromatography media (Con A-Sepharose and AMP-Agarose or ADP-Agarose) previously used for the purification of bull seminal plasma 5'-nucleotidase (Fini, C., Ipata, P.L., Palmerini, C.A. and Floridi, A. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 748, 405-412). However, in the present purification procedure no detergent was used as it had been necessary for the purification of the bovine enzyme. The experimental data reveal some main differences between these two enzymes; first, the human enzyme seems to be constituted of a single polypeptide chain of about 71 kDa, while the 5'-nucleotidase of bull seminal plasma, in non denaturing detergent solutions, is a homodimer of about 160 kDa. Another most remarkable difference is that the human enzyme does not seem to contain a phosphatidylinositol anchoring system like the one present in the bovine enzyme and in 5'-nucleotidase of different sources (Low, M.G. (1987) Biochem. J. 244, 1-13). Finally, the AMPase activity of 5'-nucleotidase from human seminal plasma is not affected by dithiothreitol which, on the contrary, is a powerful inhibitor of the bovine enzyme causing the dissociation of its subunits which are held together by disulphide bridges (Fini, C., Minelli, A., Camici, M. and Floridi, A. (1985) Biochem. Biophys. Acta 827, 403-409). 相似文献

Liver microsomal 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase was partially purified from cholestyramine-fed rats by sequential extraction of the membrane with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) and polyethylene glycol nonylphenyl ether (Triton N-101) and solubilized by incorporation of the resulting insoluble protein preparation into a detergent mixture of Triton N-101 and sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate (Sarkosyl) in the presence of high salt. The purification procedure resulted in approximately a 3-4-fold increase in specific activity compared with the microsomal fraction, and the enzyme was recovered with yields as high as 63%. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and a blotting experiment using antiserum to the purified 53,000-dalton reductase fragment showed that the major immunoreactive polypeptide had a Mr of 97,000, that expected for the native intact form of the enzyme (Chin, D. J., Gil, G., Russell, D. W., Liscum, L., Luskey, K. L., Basu, S. K., Okayama, H., Berg, P., Goldstein, J. L., and Brown, M. S. (1984) Nature 308, 613-617). In addition, the effect of various detergents on the activity and stability of the membrane-bound and the partially purified enzyme was determined, and a method for protection of the reductase from inactivation caused by the addition of anionic detergents to the assay mixture is described. 相似文献

Factor VII is a multidomain, vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein that participates in the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Earlier studies demonstrated a novel disaccharide (Xyl-Glc) or trisaccharide (Xyl2-Glc) O-glycosidically linked to serine 52 in human plasma factor VII (Nishimura, H., Kawabata, S., Kisiel, W., Hase, S., Ikenaka, T., Shimonishi, Y., and Iwanaga, S. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 20320-20325). In the present study, human plasma and recombinant factor VII were isolated and subjected to enzymatic fragmentation. Peptides comprising residues 48-62 of the first epidermal growth factor-like domain of each factor VII preparation were isolated for comparative analysis. Using a combined strategy of amino acid sequencing, carbohydrate and amino acid composition analysis, and mass spectrometry, three different glycan structures consisting of either glucose, glucose-xylose, or glucose-(xylose)2 were detected O-glycosidically linked to serine 52 in plasma and recombinant factor VII. Approximately equal amounts of the three glycan structures were observed in plasma factor VII, whereas in recombinant factor VII the glucose and the glucose-(xylose)2 structures predominated. In addition to the O-linked glycan structures observed at serine 52, a single fucose was found to be covalently linked at serine 60 in both human plasma and recombinant factor VII. Carbohydrate and mass spectrometry analyses indicated that the fucosylation of serine 60 was virtually quantitative. Metabolic labeling studies using [14C]fucose confirmed the presence of O-linked fucose at serine 60. In order to assess whether the carbohydrate moiety at serine 52 contributes to the biological activity of factor VII, we have constructed a site-specific mutant of recombinant factor VII in which serine 52 has been replaced with an alanine residue. Mutant factor VIIa exhibited approximately 60% of the coagulant activity of wild-type factor VIIa in a clotting assay. The amidolytic activity of mutant factor VIIa was indistinguishable from that observed for recombinant wild-type factor VIIa. In addition, the ability of mutant factor VIIa in complex with either purified relipidated tissue factor apoprotein or tissue factor on the surface of a human bladder carcinoma cell line (J82) to activate either factor X or factor IX was virtually identical to that observed for wild-type factor VIIa. These results indicate that the carbohydrate moiety O-glycosidically linked to serine 52 does not appear to be involved either in the interaction of factor VIIa with tissue factor, or the expression of its proteolytic activity toward factor X or factor IX following complex formation with tissue factor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Protease IV, a cytoplasmic membrane protein of Escherichia coli, has signal peptide peptidase activity 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
During export of the outer membrane lipoprotein across the cytoplasmic membrane, the signal peptide of the lipoprotein undergoes two successive proteolytic attacks, cleavage of the signal peptide by signal peptidase and digestion of the cleaved signal peptide by an enzyme called signal peptide peptidase(s) (Hussain, M., Ichihara, S., and Mizushima, S. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 5177-5182; Hussain, M., Ozawa, Y., Ichihara, S., and Mizushima, S. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 129, 233-239). Here we report that protease IV, a cytoplasmic membrane protease, exhibits the signal peptide peptidase activity. The signal peptide peptidase activity was cofractionated with protease IV throughout the entire process of purification of the latter enzyme. Only the signal peptide was digested by the peptidase among membrane proteins. Both the signal peptide peptidase activity and the protease IV activity were inhibited to similar degrees by antipain, leupeptin, chymostatin, and elastatinal that are known to inhibit the signal peptide peptidase activity in the cell envelope. From these results we conclude that protease IV is the signal peptide peptidase that is responsible for signal peptide digestion in the cytoplasmic membrane. The peptidase attacked the signal peptide only after its release from the precursor protein. 相似文献

A modified method for purification of blood clotting factor VII from bovine plasma was developed, and its complete amino acid sequence was established. The isolated factor VII was activated with factor XIIa, and the resulting two-chain factor VII (factor VIIa) was reduced and S-pyridylethylated or S-aminoethylated. The amino acid sequences of the S-alkylated heavy and light chains were determined by sequencing the fragments obtained from enzymatic and chemical cleavages. Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry was also used to establish the COOH-terminal sequence of the heavy chain. The light chain consists of 152 residues with one carbohydrate chain at Asn145, and 11 gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues are found within the NH2-terminal 35 residues. The light chain contains 0.2-0.3 mol of beta-hydroxyaspartic acid/mol of protein, indicating that an aspartic acid residue in bovine factor VII is incompletely hydroxylated. Moreover, a pentapeptide, Ala-Ser*-Ser-Pro-Cys (positions 51-55), isolated from an enzymatic digest of the light chain, contained an unknown serine derivative, but its structure is still unclear. On the other hand, the heavy chain is composed of 255 residues and one asparagine-linked carbohydrate chain at Asn203. Bovine factor VII, with a total of 407 residues, has 71% sequence identity with the human molecule (406 residues) predicted from the cDNA sequence (Hagen, F. S., Gray, C. L., O'Hara, P., Grant, F. J., Saari, G. C., Woodbury, R. G., Hart, C. E., Insley, M., Kisiel, W., Kurachi, K., and Davie, E. W. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 83, 2412-2416). 相似文献

We have used chimeras and point mutations of recombinant coagulation factor IX to examine factor IX's specific interaction with bovine endothelial cells. Previously (Toomey, J. R., Smith, K. J., Roberts, H. R., and Stafford, D. W. (1992) Biochemistry 31, 1806-1808), we restricted the region of factor IX responsible for binding to endothelial cells to its Gla domain. Molecular modeling of the Gla domain of factor IX using the coordinates of the Gla domain of bovine prothrombin-(1-145) (Soriano-Garcia, M., Padmanabhan, K., deVos, A. M., and Tulinsky, A. (1992) Biochemistry 31, 2554-2566) reveals two major surface determinants whose sequences differ among factors IX, X, and VII. A chimeric protein comprised of the Gla domain of factor VII with the remainder of the molecule of factor IX did not bind to the endothelial cell binding site. We changed residues 33, 34, 35, 39, and 40 to those of factor IX without restoring endothelial cell binding. Replacement of amino acid residues 3-10 with those of factor IX restored normal binding. With the knowledge that specific binding was localized to the first 11 amino acids, point mutations were made at residues predicted to be on the surface in this region of the factor IX molecule. Changing lysine 5 to alanine (K5A) or valine 10 to lysine (V10K) resulted in loss of binding with total retention of in vitro clotting activity. The lysine 5 to arginine (K5R) mutation also was fully active in vitro but displayed 3-fold tighter binding. In addition to defining the sequence of factor IX necessary for binding to endothelial cells, these results suggest that the binding site is not phospholipid but instead is specific, and in all likelihood, protein. 相似文献

Cooperative activation of human factor IX by the human extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The activation of human coagulation factor IX by human tissue factor.factor VIIa.PCPS.Ca2+ (TF.VIIa.PCPS.Ca2+) and factor Xa.PCPS.Ca2+ enzyme complexes was investigated. Reactions were performed in a highly purified system consisting of isolated human plasma proteins and recombinant human tissue factor with synthetic phospholipid vesicles (PCPS: 75% phosphatidylcholine (PC), 25% phosphatidylserine (PS)). Factor IX activation was evaluated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, [3H]factor IX activation peptide assay, colorimetric substrate thiobenzyl benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysinate (Z-Lys-SBzl) hydrolysis, and specific incorporation of a fluorescent peptidyl chloromethyl ketone. Factor IX activation by the TF.VIIa.PCPS.Ca2+ enzyme complex was observed to proceed through the obligate non-enzymatic intermediate species factor IX alpha. The simultaneous activation of human coagulation factors IX and X by the TF.VIIa.PCPS.Ca2+ enzyme complex were investigated. When factors IX and X were presented to the TF.VIIa complex, at equal concentrations, it was observed that the rate of factor IX activation remained unchanged while the rate of factor X activation slowed by 45%. When the proteolytic cleavage products of this reaction were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, it was observed that the intermediate species factor IX alpha was generated more rapidly when factor X was present in the reaction mixture. When factor IX was treated with factor Xa.PCPS in the presence of Ca2+, it was observed that factor IX was rapidly converted to factor IX alpha. The activation of factor IX alpha by the TF.VIIa.PCPS.Ca2+ complex was evaluated, and it was observed that factor IX alpha was activated more rapidly by the TF.VIIa.PCPS.Ca2+ complex than was factor IX itself. These data suggest that factors IX and X, when presented to the TF.VIIa.PCPS.Ca2+ enzyme complex, are both rapidly activated and that factor Xa, which is generated in the initial stages of the extrinsic pathway, participates in the first proteolytic step in the activation of factor IX, the generation of factor IX alpha. 相似文献

An active site residue in phenol hydroxylase (PHHY), Pro364, was mutated to serine to investigate its role in enzymatic catalysis. In the presence of phenol, the reaction between the reduced flavin of P364S and oxygen is very fast, but only 13% of the flavin is utilized to hydroxylate the substrate, compared to nearly 100% for the wild-type enzyme. The oxidative half-reaction of PHHY using m-cresol as a substrate is similarly affected by the mutation. Pro364 was suggested to be important in stabilizing the transition state of the oxygen transfer step by forming a hydrogen bond between its carbonyl oxygen and the C4a-hydroperoxyflavin [Ridder, L., Mullholland, A. J., Rietjens, I. M. C. M., and Vervoort, J. (2000) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122, 8728-8738]. The P364S mutation may weaken this interaction by increasing the flexibility of the peptide chain; hence, the transition state would be destabilized to result in a decreased level of hydroxylation of phenol. However, when the oxidative half-reaction was studied using resorcinol as a substrate, the P364S mutant form was not significantly different from the wild-type enzyme. The rate constants for all the reaction steps as well as the hydroxylation efficiency (coupling between NADPH oxidation and resorcinol consumption) are comparable to those of the wild-type enzyme. It is suggested that the function of Pro364 in catalysis, stabilization of the transition state, is not as important in the reaction with resorcinol, possibly because the position of hydroxylation is different with resorcinol than with phenol and m-cresol. 相似文献

A murine monoclonal antibody (designated VII-M31) directed against bovine factor VII was prepared and characterized. Antibody VII-M31 inhibited the activations of both factors IX and X catalyzed by factor VIIa in the presence of tissue factor, phospholipids, and Ca2+. It possessed a strong affinity for factor VII in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+ (Kd = 1.12 x 10(-10)M). The immunoblotting test of other bovine proteins with the antibody, such as prothrombin, factor X, factor IX, protein C, protein S, and protein Z, in addition to human factor VII, revealed that it recognizes only a Ca2(+)-dependent epitope in bovine factor VII. Furthermore, this antibody VII-M31 covalently coupled with Affi-Gel allowed a simple and rapid purification of bovine factor VII. To localize the antigenic site in factor VII, various segments including a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-domainless protein, a Gla-domain peptide and the fragments isolated from the lysyl endopeptidase digest, were prepared. Among them, the isolated Gla-domain peptide and Gla-domainless factor VII were no longer recognized by antibody VII-M31, indicating that the sequence around the cleavage site by a-chymotrypsin is required for the interaction between the antibody and factor VII. In accordance with this result, the antibody bound specifically to a Gla-containing peptide corresponding to the NH2-terminal 23-50 residues of factor VII, which contains the chymotryptic cleavage site. These results suggest that the specific epitope of this antibody is localized in the carboxy-terminal 28 residues of the Gla-domain constituting the amino-terminal portion of bovine factor VII. 相似文献

Partial purification and characterization of phosphotyrosyl-protein phosphatase from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We have previously described a phosphotyrosylprotein phosphatase in membrane vesicles from human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells which is inhibited by micromolar concentration of Zn2+ and is insensitive to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and NaF [Brautigan, D. L., Bornstein, P., & Gallis, B. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 6519-6522]. Here we present the identification and partial purification of a similar enzyme from lysates of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. the enzyme was purified by using diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex, Zn2+ affinity, and Sephadex G-75 chromatography. During purification, the phosphatase was separated into at least three fractions, all of which exhibited very similar properties and an apparent molecular weight of 40 000 upon gel filtration. The enzyme dephosphorylated phosphotyrosine (P-Tyr)-containing carboxymethylated and succinylated (CM-SC) phosphorylase with an apparent Km of 0.8 microM, as well as P-Tyr containing casein and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor kinase, but did not dephosphorylate P-Ser-phosphorylase. The phosphatase was inhibited by Zn2+ at micromolar concentrations (K0.5 with EGF receptor kinase = 5 X 10(-6) M; with CM-SC phosphorylase = 3.3 X 10(-5) M) but not by millimolar concentrations of EDTA and NaF. No inhibition was seen with 1 mM tetramisole, a specific inhibitor of alkaline phosphatases. P-Tyr inhibited the enzyme by 50% at 0.4 X 10(-3) M, while Tyr, Pi, PPi, and p-nitrophenyl phosphate, an excellent substrate for alkaline phosphatases and structurally very similar to P-Tyr, exerted partial inhibition at concentrations above 10(-3) M. The pH optimum was found to be 6.5-7, depending on the substrate used. Very little activity was seen below pH 5 and above pH 8.5. These properties clearly distinguish this enzyme from alkaline phosphatases, as well as the neutral and acidic protein phosphatases so far described, and therefore define it as a new enzyme of the phosphatase family--a phosphotyrosyl-protein phosphatase. 相似文献

Proteolytic processing of human host cell factor 1 (HCF-1) to its mature form was recently shown, unexpectedly, to occur in a UDP-GlcNAc-dependent fashion within the transferase active site of O-GlcNAc-transferase (OGT) (Lazarus, M. B., Jiang, J., Kapuria, V., Bhuiyan, T., Janetzko, J., Zandberg, W. F., Vocadlo, D. J., Herr, W., and Walker, S. (2013) Science 342, 1235–1239). An interesting mechanism involving formation and then intramolecular rearrangement of a covalent glycosyl ester adduct of the HCF-1 polypeptide was proposed to account for this unprecedented proteolytic activity. However, the key intermediate remained hypothetical. Here, using a model enzyme system for which the formation of a glycosyl ester within the enzyme active site has been shown unequivocally, we show that ester formation can indeed lead to proteolysis of the adjacent peptide bond, thereby providing substantive support for the mechanism of HCF-1 processing proposed. 相似文献

N-type Ca2+ channels (CaV2.2) are a nidus for neurotransmitter release and nociceptive transmission. However, the use of CaV2.2 blockers in pain therapeutics is limited by side effects resulting from inhibition of the physiological functions of CaV2.2 within the CNS. We identified an anti-nociceptive peptide (Brittain, J. M., Duarte, D. B., Wilson, S. M., Zhu, W., Ballard, C., Johnson, P. L., Liu, N., Xiong, W., Ripsch, M. S., Wang, Y., Fehrenbacher, J.

Med. 17, 822–829) derived from the axonal collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2), a protein known to bind and enhance CaV2.2 activity. Using a peptide tiling array, we identified novel peptides within the first intracellular loop (CaV2.2(388–402), “L1”) and the distal C terminus (CaV1.2(2014–2028) “Ct-dis”) that bound CRMP2. Microscale thermophoresis demonstrated micromolar and nanomolar binding affinities between recombinant CRMP2 and synthetic L1 and Ct-dis peptides, respectively. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed that CRMP2 association with CaV2.2 was inhibited by L1 and Ct-dis peptides. L1 and Ct-dis, rendered cell-penetrant by fusion with the protein transduction domain of the human immunodeficiency virus TAT protein, were tested in in vitro and in vivo experiments. Depolarization-induced calcium influx in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons was inhibited by both peptides. Ct-dis, but not L1, peptide inhibited depolarization-stimulated release of the neuropeptide transmitter calcitonin gene-related peptide in mouse DRG neurons. Similar results were obtained in DRGs from mice with a heterozygous mutation of Nf1 linked to neurofibromatosis type 1. Ct-dis peptide, administered intraperitoneally, exhibited antinociception in a zalcitabine (2′-3′-dideoxycytidine) model of AIDS therapy-induced and tibial nerve injury-related peripheral neuropathy. This study suggests that CaV peptides, by perturbing interactions with the neuromodulator CRMP2, contribute to suppression of neuronal hypersensitivity and nociception. 相似文献

The binding of factor IX to cultured bovine endothelial cells was characterized using isolated domains of bovine factor IX. An NH2-terminal fragment that consists of the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) region linked to the two epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains bound to the endothelial cells with the same affinity as intact factor IX, indicating that the serine protease part of factor IX is not involved in binding. This fragment also inhibited the factor IXa beta'-induced clotting of plasma at a concentration that would suggest a competition for phospholipid binding sites. However, after proteolytic removal of the Gla region from the fragment, the two EGF-like domains inhibited clotting almost as effectively, suggesting a direct interaction between this part of the molecule and the cofactor, factor VIIIa. Using affinity-purified Fab fragments against the Gla region, the EGF-like domains, and the serine protease part, it was observed that the serine protease part of the molecule undergoes a large conformational change upon activation, whereas the Gla region and the EGF-like domains appear to be unaffected. All three classes of Fab fragments were equally efficient as inhibitors of the factor IXa beta'-induced clotting reaction. Part of factor Va and factor VIIIa have significant sequence homology to a lectin. We therefore investigated the effect on in vitro clotting of the recently identified unique disaccharide Xyl alpha 1-3Glc, that is O-linked to a serine residue in the NH2-terminal EGF-like domain of human factor IX (Hase, S., Nishimura, H., Kawabata, S.-I., Iwanaga, S., and Ikenaka, T. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 1858-1861). However, no effect on blood clotting was observed in the assay system used. Our results are compatible with a model in which the serine protease part provides the specificity of the binding of factor IXa to factor VIIIa-phospholipid, but that the EGF-like domain(s) also contributes to the interaction of the enzyme with its cofactor. 相似文献
