Thirty-nine antiserum preparations from eight rabbits were screened for their ability to precipitate the immunochemically distinct phytochrome that is obtained from green oat (Avena sativa L.) shoots. The antisera were obtained from rabbits immunized with either proteolytically degraded, but still photoreversible, 60-kDa (kilodalton) phytochrome, or approx. 120-kDa phytochrome, both of which were purified from etiolated oat shoots. The ability of these antisera to precipitate phytochrome from green oats was independent of the size of phytochrome used for immunization. While crude antisera immunoprecipitated as much as 80% of the phytochrome isolated from green oat shoots, antibodies immunopurified from these sera with a column of highly purified, approx. 120-kDa phytochrome from etiolated oats precipitated no more than about 5–10%.Abbreviations kDa

Phosphorylations of two proteins (27 KDa, 32 KDa) in oat cells were dependent on phytochrome action. To determine which kinase system(s) for the phosphorylation of these two proteins are controlled by the phytochrome, involvement of the Ca2+/DG dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) was first investigated. When a protein kinase C inhibitor (1-(5-isoquinoline sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine:H-7) or the inositol phospholipid metabolic blocker Li+ was added into the cell suspension, respectively, the phosphorylations of these two proteins were substantially reduced. On the other hand, an addition of 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG:activator of protein kinase C) or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA: tumor promoting phorbol ester) enhanced the phosphorylations of these proteins. These results suggest that phytochrome action is certainly connected with the protein phosphorylation via the activation of protein kinase C or a similar molecule with protein kinase C. 相似文献

Phosphopeptide mapping of Avena phytochrome phosphorylated by protein kinases in vitro 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We previously demonstrated that protein kinases are useful probes of conformational changes that occur upon photoconversion of phytochrome [Wong, Y.-S., Cheng, H.-C., Walsh, D. A., & Lagarias, J. C. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 12089-12097]. Here we present phosphopeptide analyses of oat phytochrome phosphorylated by three mammalian protein kinases and by a polycation-stimulated, phytochrome-associated protein kinase. Phosphorylation of the Pr form by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase occurs predominantly on Ser17 while Ser598 is the preferred phosphorylation site on Pfr. The cGMP-dependent and Ca2(+)-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinases, which phosphorylate only the Pr form of phytochrome, recognize the same region on the phytochrome polypeptide as the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Polycation-stimulated phytochrome phosphorylation reveals that, in contrast to the mammalian enzymes, the plant kinase recognizes the serine-rich, blocked N-terminus of phytochrome. The potential regulatory role of phytochrome phosphorylation, particularly in the structurally conserved serine/threonine-rich N-terminal region of the phytochrome polypeptide, is suggested by these results. 相似文献

A protein-kinase activity which is co-purified with phytochrome from etiolated oat seedlings was investigated in some detail. Whereas phytochrome was always phosphorylated in solution (together with some contaminating protein bands), radioactive phosphate was not found in the phytochrome band after native gel electrophoresis and incubation of the entire gel with labeled ATP. Since protein kinases are usually autophosphorylated under these conditions, the result shows that the kinase activity does not reside in the phytochrome molecule itself. Radioactivity was exclusively detected in a band with the apparent molecular weight 450 kDa; sodium-dodecyl-sulfate gel electrophoresis revealed an apparent molecular weight of 60 kDa for the phosphorylated subunit.

V P W was determined for this subunit which is a potential candidate for the protein kinase. The optimum conditions (pH, metal ion concentration) and kinetics of the phosphorylation reaction were determined. The presumed connection between proteinkinase activity and the signal chain leading from the far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome to physiological responses still awaits elucidation.Abbreviations Bistris

Deoxyguanosine kinase, purified over 6000-fold from beef liver mitochondria by means of deoxyguanosine-3'-(4-aminophenyl phosphate)-Sepharose affinity chromatography, was nearly homogeneous. It phosphorylates only deoxyguanosine and deoxyinosine among the natural nucleosides, with apparent Km values of 4.7 and 21 microM, respectively. Among nucleoside analogs tested, only arabinosylguanine (Ki = 125 microM) and 8-aza-deoxyguanosine (Ki = 450 microM) competed with deoxyguanosine. The relative molecular mass of the enzyme is 56,000, as determined by equilibrium sedimentation, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis suggests two subunits of Mr 28,000. The pH optimum for enzyme activity is 5.5, but optimum enzyme stability is seen at pH 7.0. Triton X-100 increased the stability of the enzyme markedly. ATP is the best phosphate donor at pH 5.5, but pyrimidine triphosphates such as dTTP and UTP are more efficient donors at pH 7.4. The activation energy, at pH 5.5, was estimated to be 10.9 kcal/mol. Amino acid modification experiments suggest the involvement of arginine, cysteine, and probably histidine. The inactivation of the enzyme by modification of these amino acid residues was time and pH dependent. Both substrates protected the enzyme from inactivation in every case but that of photooxidation by Rose Bengal, where only deoxyguanosine prevented inactivation. 相似文献

Properties of p19, a novel cAMP-dependent protein kinase substrate protein purified from bovine brain 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
We report the purification from bovine brain and describe some of the properties of a 19-kDa protein, p19, which we have previously shown to undergo hormone-dependent, cAMP-mediated phosphorylation in several peptide hormone-producing tumor cells. The procedure for purifying p19 to apparent homogeneity utilized ammonium sulfate fractionation, sequential chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and phenyl-Sepharose, followed by fast protein liquid chromatography using a Mono Q and, finally, a C8 reverse-phase column. The yield was 0.3-0.5 mg of p19/kg of brain. The molecular weight (Mr = 19,000) and frictional ratio (f/f0 = 1.87) of p19, which were derived from its Stokes radius (33 A) and sedimentation constant (s20,w = 1.4), suggest that the native form of p19 is an asymmetrically shaped monomer. We provide evidence to suggest that p19 is isolated as a mixture of molecular forms consisting of an unphosphorylated form and of three phosphoforms indicative of multisite phosphorylation. These forms cosedimented on sucrose density gradients and coeluted on gel filtration, hydrophobic chromatography, and reverse-phase fast protein liquid chromatography. They were resolved from each other by anion-exchange chromatography. The unphosphorylated form (pI 6.2) was phosphorylated by catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase to a stoichiometry of 0.5 mol of P/mol of p19, thereby giving rise to the three phosphoforms (pI 5.8, pI 5.6, and pI 5.2, respectively). We conclude that p19 is a novel cAMP-dependent protein kinase substrate protein that is present in brain and in peptide hormone-producing tumor cells. Its function remains to be identified. 相似文献

The photochemical properties of purified 124 kilodalton (kD) Avena cv Garry phytochrome are examined and compared with those of the proteolytically degraded 118/114 kD species. The proportion of the chromoprotein in the far red absorbing form, Pfr, following saturating red irradiation is 0.86 for 124 kD phytochrome, substantially higher than the values of 0.79 determined here and 0.75 reported in the literature for 118/114 kD preparations. The ratio of the quantum yields for Pr to Pfr phototransformation and for Pfr to Pr phototransformation (r/fr) is 1.76 for the 124 kD molecule and 0.98 for the 118/114 kD species. Based on extinction coefficients determined using the Lowry assay as a measure of protein weight, the individual phototransformation quantum yields for 124 kD phytochrome are 0.17 for Pr → Pfr (r) and 0.10 for Pfr → Pr (fr). Comparison of these quantum yields with those of the 118/114 kD species (where r = fr = ~0.11) indicates that proteolytic degradation of the 124 kD molecule to the 118/114 kD species significantly affects only r. Therefore, the lower proportion of Pfr at photoequilibrium observed for 118/114 kD preparations is explained mainly in terms of a reduced efficiency of Pr → Pfr phototransformation. The absolute Pfr absorbance spectrum for 124 kD phytochrome obtained by correcting the measured spectrum for residual Pr exhibits a maximum at 730 nm and differs from previous absolute Pfr spectra for both `120' kD and 60 kD phytochrome in that it lacks a shoulder in the red region of the spectrum. 相似文献

Nucleotide and amino acid sequence of a Cucurbita phytochrome cDNA clone: identification of conserved features by comparison with Avena phytochrome 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The amino acid (aa) sequence of Cucurbita phytochrome has been deduced from the nucleotide (nt) sequence of a cDNA clone which was initially identified by hybridization to an Avena phytochrome cDNA clone. Cucurbita, a dicot, and Avena, a monocot, represent evolutionarily divergent groups of plants. The Cucurbita phytochrome polypeptide is 1123 aa in length, corresponding to 125 kDa. Overall, the Cucurbita and Avena phytochrome sequences are 65% homologous at both the nt and aa levels but this sequence conservation is not evenly distributed. Most of the N-terminal two-thirds of the aligned polypeptide chains exhibits localized regions of high conservation, while the extreme N terminus and the C-terminal one-third are less homologous. Comparison of the predicted hydropathic properties of these polypeptides also indicates conservation of domains of phytochrome structure. The possible correlation of these conserved structural features with previously identified functional domains of phytochrome is discussed. 相似文献

Phytochrome is the ubiquitous red light photoreceptor present in plants. Properties of the 6-kDa end terminal region of phytochrome A (PHYA from etiolated Avena) have been investigated by the use of synthetic polypeptide fragments corresponding to that region. This region of the phytochrome A protein has been viewed as a possible functional site due to the large differences in the sequence's conformation and exposure between the Pr (red light-absorbing form) and Pfr (far-red light-absorbing, gene-regulating form) species of phytochrome A. Hydrophobic moment calculations reveal amphiphilic helical potential in this section of the protein, consistent with the folding of the N-terminal region onto a hydrophobic chromophore/chromophore pocket. A large N-terminal synthetic peptide also demonstrated helical folding in the presence of SDS micelles. This experimental evidence indicates that the N-terminal alpha-helical folding upon conversion of the regulatorily inactive Pr to the active Pfr form of phytochrome A is likely driven at least in part by amphiphilic helix stabilization. Further, the large synthetic peptide was spectrally demonstrated to interact with phytochrome A lacking the N-terminal region. The formation of this nativelike complex may provide us with a tool for both biophysical and physiological studies on the mechanism of phytochrome A signal transduction. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of Avena phytochrome in vitro as a probe of light-induced conformational changes 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

A polycation-dependent protein kinase was found to be associated with purified phytochrome preparations from etiolated Avena seedlings. This kinase and three mammalian protein kinases, the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, and a Ca2+-activated phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, were used to probe light-induced conformational changes in 124-kilodalton Avena phytochrome in vitro. The red absorbing form of phytochrome (Pr) was found to be a substrate for all four protein kinases. Although the far-red absorbing form of phytochrome (Pfr) was as good a substrate as Pr with the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the Pfr form was poorly phosphorylated by the other three protein kinases. Serine is the major amino acid residue phosphorylated on phytochrome regardless of the form of phytochrome used as substrate. Peptide mapping revealed that the sites of phosphorylation catalyzed by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase differ for Pr and Pfr forms of phytochrome. For the Pr form, the preferred site(s) of phosphorylation was near the amino terminus of the 124-kilodalton subunit. Upon photo-conversion to Pfr, this site can no longer be phosphorylated easily and a new phosphorylation site in the COOH-terminal nonchromophore domain of the molecule becomes accessible to the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These studies of the phosphorylation of phytochrome provide a new means to study the effect of light absorption by phytochrome on the molecular conformation of the protein. The potential physiological implications of differential phosphorylation of Pr and Pfr await elucidation. 相似文献

The cross-reactivity of diverse monoclonal antibodies against phytochrome from Zea and Avena was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay (ELISA) and by immunoblotting. About 40 antibodies were selected by means of nondenatured phytochrome; all of them reacted with sodium dodecyl sulfate denatured homologous antigen on immunoblots. The epitopes for 14 antibodies (4 raised against Avena and 10 against Zea phytochrome) were localized in 6 regions of the phytochrome molecule by means of Western blot analysis of proteolytic fragments of known localization. Results of studies on the inhibition of antibody binding by other antibodies were largely compatible with these latter findings. Except in a few cases, inhibition occurred when antibodies were located on the same or a closely adjacent region. As demonstrated by 16 species, cross-reactivity with phytochromes from other Poaceae was high. Greater losses in cross-reactivity were observed only with antibodies recognizing an epitope in the vicinity of the carboxyl terminus of 118-kg · mol-1 phytochrome. Cross-reactivity with phytochrome from dicotyledons was restricted to a few antibodies. However, phytochrome(s) from plants illuminated for 24 h or more could be detected. One of the antibodies that recognized phytochrome from dicotyledons was also found to recognize phytochrome or a protein of 120–125 kg·mol-1 from several ferns, a liverwort and mosses. This antibody (Z-3B1), which was localized within a 23.5-kg·mol-1 section of Avena phytochrome (Grimm et al., 1986, Z. Naturforsch. 41c, 993), seems to be the first antibody raised against phytochrome from a monocotyledon with such a wide range of reactivity. Even though epitopes were recognized on different phytochromes, the strength of antibody binding indicated that these epitopes are not necessarily wholly identical.Abbreviations ELISA

Protein kinase activity has repeatedly been found to co-purify with the plant photoreceptor phytochrome, suggesting that light signals received by phytochrome may be transduced or modulated through protein phosphorylation. In this study immunoprecipitation techniques were used to characterize protein kinase activity associated with phytochrome from maize (Zea mays L.). A protein kinase that specifically phosphorylated phytochrome was present in washed anti-phytochrome immunoprecipitates of etiolated coleoptile proteins. No other substrate tested was phosphorylated by this kinase. Adding salts or detergents to disrupt low-affinity protein interactions reduced background phosphorylation in immunoprecipitates without affecting phytochrome phosphorylation, indicating that the protein kinase catalytic activity is either intrinsic to the phytochrome molecule or associated with it by high-affinity interactions. Red irradiation (of coleoptiles or extracts) sufficient to approach photoconversion saturation reduced phosphorylation of immunoprecipitated phytochrome. Subsequent far-red irradiation reversed the red-light effect. Phytochrome phosphorylation was stimulated about 10-fold by a co-immunoprecipitated factor. The stimulatory factor was highest in immunoprecipitates when Mg2+ was present in immunoprecipitation reactions but remained in the supernatant in the absence of Mg2+. These observations provide strong support for the hypothesis that phytochrome-associated protein kinase modulates light responses in vivo. Since only phytochrome was found to be phosphorylated, the co-immunoprecipitated protein kinase may function to regulate receptor activity. 相似文献

Protein phosphatase T from rat liver, so termed due to its activity toward [32P-Thr]casein and its marked preference for the phosphopeptide Arg-Arg-Ala-Thr(P)-Val-Ala over its phosphoseryl derivative (Donella Deana, A., Marchiori, F., Meggio, F. and Pinna, L.A. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 8565-8568), is shown here to belong to the family of type 2A protein phosphatase according to Cohen's nomenclature (Ingebritsen, T.S. and Cohen, P. (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 132, 255-261). In particular, protein phosphatase T is endowed with phosphorylase phosphatase activity that is stimulated by protamine, histone H1 and heparin, it is inhibited by spermine, it does not bind to heparin-Sepharose and it readily dephosphorylates the phosphopeptide Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser reproducing the phosphorylation site of the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase. The Mr of protein phosphatase T determined by gel filtration under non-denaturating conditions is about 150 kDa and its activity ratio toward histone H1 phosphorylated by protein kinase C versus histone H1 phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase is unusually high. Some properties of protein phosphatase T, such as its weak binding to DEAE-cellulose and its high stimulation by protamine as compared to a relatively poor stimulation by histone H1, suggest that it may be similar to subtype 2Ao of protein phosphatase 2A. 相似文献

The rate of destruction of the far red absorbing form of phytochrome(Pfr) in green or etiolated cuttings of Vigna radiata was slowerin the presence of malformin than in its absence. Malforminhad no effect on the accumulation of total phytochrome in thedark, or on the reaccumulation of phytochrome after destructionin red light. The amount of photoconversion of the red absorbingform of phytochrome (Pr) to Pfr or Pfr to Pr by given dosesof red or far red radiation was slightly but consistently lessin malformin-treated cuttings of V. radiata than in controls.Malformin had no effect on the rate of destruction or photoconversionof phytochrome in etiolated shoots of Avena sativa. The decreasein destruction rate of Pfr by malformin in V. radiata may contributeto the inhibition of dark abscission by malformin after lighttreatment. (Received October 3, 1979; ) 相似文献

Phosphorylation of lens membranes with a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase purified from the bovine lens 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report the phosphorylation of lens membranes with a cAMP-dependent protein kinase isolated from bovine lenses. The holoenzyme was eluted from DEAE agarose at less than 100 mM NaCl and from gel filtration columns with a relative molecular weight of 180 000. The regulatory subunit was identified with the affinity label 8-azido-[32P]cAMP. Four focusing variants with relative molecular weights of 49 000 were seen on two-dimensional gels. The catalytic subunit was purified approx. 5000-fold and migrated at 42 000 Mr on SDS gels. Based on these observations, the enzyme is classified as a Type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Purified lens plasma membranes were incubated with the holoenzyme or its catalytic subunit in the presence of 32P-labeled ATP. Several membrane proteins, including the major lens membrane polypeptide, MP26, were shown to be substrates for the kinase in this reaction. MP26 appears to be the major component of intercellular junctions in the lens. Studies with protease treatments on labeled membranes appeared to localize the phosphorylation sites to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. 相似文献

Using various photostationary state light sources to obtain reproducible phytochrome conversion of from 5 to 88% PFR, assayed by 2 wavelength in vivo spectrophotometry, relationships between initial percent PFR and elongation of apical Avena coleoptile segments over the succeeding 20 hours in darkness were studied. With material grown in total darkness, all PFR levels promote elongation, and maximal promotion requires roughly 50% PFR. The promotion caused by an initial 5 minute red (88% PFR) treatment at hour 0 is partially reversible at hour 5 by sources forming less than 48% PFR, but totally irreversible at hour 8, though less than 50% of the growth has been accomplished by this time. Direct photometric assays at hour 5 indicate a phytochrome state of roughly 45% PFR, consistent with the reversal data. At hour 8, however, 11 to 22% of the phytochrome still assays as PFR, an inconsistency suggesting simply that the elongation process has proceeded beyond photochemical control. Thus, in contrast with results previously reported for Pisum and Phaseolus, there is no contradiction between photometric and physiological assays of phytochrome state in Avena coleoptile segments.
Attempts to expand this study by using segments from seedlings pretreated with red light showed that such pretreatment as little as 1 to 2 hours before drastically reduces subsequent elongation and photoresponse on the medium employed. This decline in growth potential can be halted at any time before its completion by either excision of the segment or far-red treatment of the intact seedling.
