A highly purified preparation of sperm cytosolic protein kinase was obtained by repeated chromatography with phosphocellulose. The preferred substrate of the enzyme was casein and the activity was not stimulated by added Ca2+, calmodulin, or cAMP. With casein as substrate, both ATP and GTP served as phosphate donors and the activity was inhibited by low micromolar heparin and stimulated by low millimolar spermine and spermidine. These properties are characteristic of casein kinase II from other cells. Endogenous protein substrates of the enzyme in sperm cytosolic fractions and in plasma membranes were demonstrated by incubating the preparations with [gamma-32P]GTP, under conditions unfavorable to other protein kinases, and analyzing the products by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Spermine greatly enhanced the phosphorylation of three (55, 92, and 106 kDa) proteins in both cytosolic and plasma membrane preparations. Our results indicate that polyamines play a role in modulating the phosphorylation state of proteins in sperm and may further regulate sperm function through this mechanism.  相似文献

We have previously shown that 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) inhibits the phosphorylation of erythrocyte membrane cytoskeletal proteins by endogenous casein kinases. Here, we report that 2,3-DPG stimulates the phosphorylation of protein 4.1 by protein kinase C. Studies with red cell membrane preparations showed that while the phosphorylation of most of the membrane proteins by endogenous membrane-bound kinases and purified kinase C was inhibited by 2,3-DPG, the phosphorylation of protein 4.1 was slightly enhanced by the metabolite. The effect of 2,3-DPG was further examined using purified protein 4.1 preparations. Our results indicate that 2,3-DPG stimulates both the rate and the extent of phosphorylation of purified protein 4.1 by kinase C. The amount of phosphate incorporated was found to double to 2 mol of phosphate per mole of protein 4.1 in the presence of 10 mM 2,3-DPG. The increase in phosphorylation was distributed over all phosphorylation sites as revealed by an analysis of the labeling patterns of phosphopeptides resolved by high performance liquid chromatography, but a significantly higher incorporation was detected in two of the phosphopeptides. The stimulatory effect of 2,3-DPG on the phosphorylation of protein 4.1 was observed only with kinase C. Phosphorylation by the cytosolic erythrocyte casein kinase and the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was inhibited by 2,3-DPG. Moreover, the stimulatory effect of 2,3-DPG seemed to be unique to the phosphorylation of protein 4.1 since a similar effect had not been observed with other protein kinase C substrates. Our results suggest that 2,3-DPG may play an important role in the regulation of cytoskeletal interactions.  相似文献

Differential effects of polyamines on rat thyroid protein kinase activities   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Ornithine decarboxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, has been shown to be regulated in thyroid by thyrotropin both in vivo and in vitro. Little, however, is known of the role of polyamines in thyroid cell function. Since studies in other tissues suggest that polyamines may influence protein phosphorylation, we studied the effect of the polyamines on various protein kinase activities in rat thyroid. Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine inhibit cyclic-AMP-dependent histone H1 kinase activity when measured in the cytosol fraction of rat thyroid; this effect is largely reproduced by NaCl concentrations of equivalent ionic strength. Both spermidine and spermine effect a 1.6-2.4-fold increase in cytosolic cyclic-AMP-independent (messenger-independent) casein kinase activity; stimulation by both polyamines is maximal at 5mM. A similar profile of stimulation is observed for messenger-independent casein kinase activity in crude nuclear preparations. Sodium chloride fails to stimulate both cytosolic and nuclear messenger-independent casein kinase activities at ionic strength equivalent to the spermine concentrations used. Spermine, but not putrescine, spermidine, or sodium chloride, inhibits calcium/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C activity in cytosol extracts partially purified by DEAE chromatography. These findings suggest that regulation of protein kinase(s) by polyamines may represent a proximal locus (i) of action of thyrotropin-regulated ornithine decarboxylase activity in thyroid.  相似文献

Two cAMP-independent protein kinases were purified from rat ventral-prostate and liver cytosol, and were designated PK-C1 and PK-C2 to distinguish them from the nuclear protein kinases described in the preceding paper. The yield of the prostate enzymes was about 5% each, and about 10% each for the liver enzymes. The average fold purification of the prostatic enzymes was 1892 and 3176 for protein kinase C1 and C2, respectively. Their average respective specific activity towards casein was 40,111 and 67,340 nmol 32P incorporated/hr per mg of enzyme protein. protein kinase C1 comprised one polypeptide of Mr 39,000 which underwent phosphorylation in the presence of Mg2+ + ATP. Protein kinase C2 comprised three polypeptides of Mr 41,000; 38,000; 26,000. Of these only the Mr 26,000 polypeptide was autophosphorylated. The Mg2+ requirement for protein kinase C1 and C2 was between 1 and 4 mM depending on the nature of the protein substrate. Both enzymes were stimulated by 100-200 mM NaCl. Km for ATP for C1 and C2 kinases was 0.01 mM; GTP could be used only by protein kinase C2 but with a markedly lower affinity. The enzymes were active towards casein, phosvitin, dephosphophosvitin, and spermine-binding protein in vitro, but demonstrated little activity towards histones. Despite several similarities in these general properties of cytosolic protein kinases C1 and C2 with those of nuclear protein kinases N1 and N2, a number of differences are also noted.  相似文献

The nuclear protein kinase NI (NI kinase) was purified from NB-15 mouse neuroblastoma cells by phosphocellulose column and casein affinity column chromatography. The purified NI kinase exhibited (i) an apparent subunit molecular weight of about 37,000, (ii) autophosphorylation, and (iii) insensitivity to inhibition by heparin. When NI kinase was added to heat-treated neuroblastoma nuclei in the presence of [gamma-32P] ATP, two proteins with apparent subunit molecular weights of 11,000 and 10,000 were prominently phosphorylated. Other protein kinases tested including the nuclear protein kinase NII, Type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and protein kinase C did not catalyze the phosphorylation of these two proteins. The NI kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of these two proteins was completely inhibited by 1 mM spermine. In contrast, 10 mM putrescine, 2 mM spermidine, 5 mM arginine, and 10 mM NH4Cl, had no inhibitory effect on this phosphorylation reaction. Our study also indicated that the phosphorylation of the 11,000- and 10,000-dalton proteins occurred in the nuclear matrix fraction but not in heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins, high mobility group proteins, or histone fractions. We have previously reported that spermine specifically inhibits the endogenous phosphorylation of an 11,000-dalton nuclear protein in various mammalian cell lines (Chen, K. Y., and Verma, R. (1984) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 118, 710-716). The present study suggests that the 11,000- and 10,000-dalton nuclear proteins may be native substrates of nuclear protein kinase NI and that their phosphorylation can be affected by physiological concentrations of spermine.  相似文献

Two nuclear cAMP-independent protein kinases (designated PK-N1 and PK-N2) were purified from rat ventral-prostate and liver. The yield of enzyme units was 4-5% and 7-9% for each enzyme from the prostatic nuclei and liver nuclei, respectively. The average fold purification for prostatic nuclear protein kinase N1 and N2 was 1360 and 1833, respectively. The respective average specific activity of the two enzymes towards casein was 81,585 and 110,000 nmol 32P incorporated/hr/mg of enzyme. Protein kinase N1 comprised one polypeptide of Mr 35,000 which underwent phosphorylation in the presence of Mg2+ + ATP. Protein kinase N2 comprised two polypeptides Mr 40,000 and 30,000 of which only the Mr 30,000 polypeptide was autophosphorylated. Both enzymes were active towards casein, phosvitin, dephosphophosvitin, spermine-binding protein, and non-histone proteins in vitro. Little activity was detected towards histones. Both enzymes were stimulated by 150-200 mM NaCl. MgCl2 requirement varied with the protein substrate but was between 2-4 mM for both enzymes. With dephosphophosvitin as substrate, the apparent Km for ATP for N1 protein kinase was 0.01 mM. GTP did not replace ATP in this reaction. Protein kinase N2 was active in the presence of ATP or GTP. The apparent Km was 0.01 mM for ATP, but 0.1 mM for GTP.  相似文献

Summary Non-histone chromatin protein (NHCP) fractions were extracted from purified beef thyroid nuclear preparations and tested for the presence of protein kinase activities using several known mediators of thyroid regulation, as well as potential phosphotransferase substrates using purified or partially purified protein kinase activities. The addition of cAMP/3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine had no effect on NHCP historic kinase activity; the addition of 10 g of the heat-stable cAMP-dependent protein kinase A inhibitor, however, resulted in a 47% reduction in histone H2 kinase activity. Nuclear casein kinase II activity was present in the NHCP fractions as evidenced by the capacity of spermine to stimulate (ED50 = 0.19 mM) and heparin to inhibit (ID50 = 0.09 g/ml) the phosphorylation of casein; further, the phosphotransferase activity could be purified by sequential casein-agarose and spermine-agarose affinity chromatography. Neither calcium-calmodulin nor calcium/phosphatidylserine/diolein had an effect on NHCP casein kinase or histone kinase activities, respectively. The addition of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A catalytic subunit, nuclear casein kinase II, calcium-activated calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and diacylglycerol-activated calcium/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C activities exhibited distinct phosphorylation patterns when NHCP were used as substrates and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. We conclude that NHCP fraction from beef thyroid: 1) contains both cAMP-dependent protein kinase A catalytic subunit and nuclear casein kinase II and 2) substrates for cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, calcium-activited calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, and nuclear casein kinase II.Abbreviations NHCP Non-Histone Chromatin Proteins - PK-A cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase - CAMPK Calcium-Activated Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase - PK-C Diacylglycerol-Activated Calcium/phospholipid-dependent Protein Kinase - NK-11 Nuclear Casein Kinase 11 - CK-G Cytosolic Casein Kinase G or 11 - PMSF Phenylmethyl Sulfonyl Fluoride - PKI the Heat Stable PK-A Inhibitor (Walsh inhibitor) - SDS-PAGE Sodium Dodecylsulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis - EDTA Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid - EGTA Ethyleneglycol bis- (B-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N,N,-Tetraacetic Acid - PS Phosphatidylserine - DO 1,2-Diolein  相似文献

Nuclei isolated from rat ventral prostate contain a number of messenger-dependent and -independent protein kinases. Studies were undertaken to determine the relative contribution of these protein kinases in phosphorylation of non-histone proteins (NHPs) in isolated nuclei. The data suggest that messenger-dependent protein kinases such as those dependent on cAMP or Ca2+/calmodulin or Ca2–/phospholipid may be present in very small amounts in intact isolated nuclei, and thus appear not to be significantly involved in phosphorylation of endogenous NHPs. Messenger-independent nuclear associated protein kinases PK-N1 and PK-N2 are known to catalyze the phosphorylation of NHPs in vitro (Goueli SA, et al., Eur J Biochem 113: 45–51, 1980). Of these, the intrinsic heparin-sensitive PK-N2 as compared with heparin-insensitive PK-N1 appeared to be the predominant protein kinase engaged in phosphorylation of NHPs in intact nuclei. About 78–88% of NHP phosphorylation in intact nuclei was inhibited by heparin suggesting that the remaining 12–22% phosphorylation of NHPs was catalyzed via the heparin-insensitive protein kinase(s). Further, the data provide additional evidence that heparin-sensitive PK-N2 is the one that is most responsive to androgenic status in the animal.Abbreviations NHP Non-Histone Protein - PMSF Phenylmethylsulfonyl Fluoride - DTT Dithiothreitol - SDS Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate  相似文献

Highly purified preparations of casein kinase-2 from the nuclei of Xenopus laevis oocytes and from calf thymus can phosphorylate in vitro purified nucleoplasmin from X. laevis oocytes and eggs. The phosphorylation of nucleoplasmin by both kinase preparations is quite insensitive to heparin in contrast with casein phosphorylation which is completely abolished by heparin concentrations above 10 micrograms/ml. However, the phosphorylation of nucleoplasmin and casein are inhibited in a very similar fashion by 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB), a well characterized specific inhibitor of casein kinase-2. Similarly, nucleoplasmin phosphorylation by the oocyte enzyme can be stimulated several-fold by spermine, another characteristic of this enzyme. These findings indicate that the phosphorylation of nucleoplasmin by purified casein kinase-2, while showing typical response to DRB and spermine, exhibits anomalous behavior in its resistance to heparin inhibition. It is possible that the large clusters of acidic amino acids in nucleoplasmin permit this substrate to interact with the enzyme more efficiently than other protein substrates. Heparin is generally considered a potent and specific inhibitor of casein kinase-2. This study, however, questions the validity of utilizing heparin inhibition as a criterion for casein kinase-2 involvement.  相似文献

Casein kinase 1 (CK 1) and casein kinase 2 (CK 2) were purified from the cytosol fraction of AH-66 cells to electrophoretic homogeneity by a simple procedure based on our finding that CK 1 and CK 2 are chromatographically distinct on phosvitin-Sepharose. The amino acid composition of CK 2 resembles those of cyclic AMP-dependent and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases but is considerably different from that of CK 1. Both CK 1 and CK 2 were markedly stimulated by low concentrations of spermine and spermidine but were practically unaffected by putrescine. When CK 1 and CK 2 were added back to AH-66 cytosol, they promoted the phosphorylation of the same cytosolic proteins that were phosphorylated endogenously. Although most of the cytosolic proteins phosphorylated by CK 1 and CK 2 were common, some proteins were preferentially phosphorylated by either CK 1 or CK 2. Interestingly, CK 1 was able to phosphorylate the plasma membrane proteins of AH-66 cells. In contrast, enhancement of the phosphorylation of the membrane proteins by CK 2 was practically undetectable.  相似文献

Administration of T3 (20 micrograms/100 g BW) for 3 days increases phosphorylation of several proteins in rat liver cytosol in vitro. To help elucidate the mechanism of T3-induced phosphorylation, we studied which protein kinase(s) mediate phosphorylation of endogenous cytosolic proteins. Five different protein kinases were obtained by DEAE+ cellulose column chromatographic fractionation of liver cytosol. When their ability to phosphorylate heat-inactivated cytosol was investigated, casein kinase, a cAMP independent protein kinase, showed the strongest effect. Casein kinase, purified by phosphocellulose chromatography, phosphorylated more than 10 cytosolic proteins. Several T3-dependent (and cAMP independent) phosphoproteins were included among these. One protein with Mr 39 X 10(3), of which phosphorylation is stimulated by T3 within five hours after injection, was the most active substrate for casein kinase. The results suggest that casein kinase is the enzyme responsible for phosphorylation of many rat liver cytosolic proteins and that several phosphoproteins, apparently under T3-regulation, might be phosphorylated by this enzyme.  相似文献

Spermine-binding protein (a rat ventral prostatic protein with high affinity for spermine) was phosphorylated in situ through the action of intrinsic cellular protein kinase(s), suggesting it to be a phosphoprotein in vivo. The purified protein served as a substrate in a number of cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase reactions in vitro, but not for cyclic AMP-dependent, Ca2+ + calmodulin-dependent or Ca2+ + phospholipid-dependent protein kinases. Available data indicate that at least one of the cyclic AMP-independent protein kinases (cytosolic protein kinase C2) may be physiologically relevant in mediating the phosphorylation of this protein. The phosphorylation reaction was stimulated several-fold in the presence of spermine. Spermidine was somewhat less effective, whereas putrescine, cadaverine and 1,6-hexanediamine were minimally active. Phospho amino acid analysis of 32P-labelled spermine-binding protein indicated that phosphoserine was the only labelled phospho amino acid. Spermine-binding protein did not undergo autophosphorylation, or modify the stimulative effect of spermine on the phosphorylation of other substrates such as non-histone proteins. In situ the phosphorylation of spermine-binding protein in tissue from castrated rats was markedly diminished as compared with the normal. Since the phosphorylation of spermine-binding protein appears to be mediated by cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase(s) whose activity in the prostate is under androgenic control, it is suggested that androgen-dependent modulation of the protein kinase(s) exerts a regulatory control (via phosphorylation-dephosphorylation) on the spermine-binding activity and stability of this protein in vivo. Further, since this protein is a substrate for only the cyclic AMP-independent protein kinases, it could serve as a tool for the investigation of such kinases.  相似文献

A cyclic-AMP-independent nuclear protein kinase has been purified from Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae. The purification procedure involves chromatography of DEAE-Sephadex, phosphocellulose and heparin-Sepharose. The purified enzyme phosphorylates threonine and serine of acidic proteins as casein and phosvitin. Phosphorylation of casein is stimulated by spermine. The kinase requires Mg2+ and can utilize both ATP and GTP as phosphoryl donors. Heparin is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme, being the protein kinase activity fully inhibited at concentrations of 0.5 micrograms/ml. One polypeptide of molecular mass 38 kDa was the major protein band present in the purified kinase preparation as estimated by NaDodSO4 denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This band belongs to the protein kinase because it is the only one that is observed associated with the protein kinase activity when the enzyme preparation is centrifuged in glycerol gradients. The 38-kDa polypeptide is also the major product of autophosphorylation of the enzyme preparation. The enzymatic properties allow to classify the enzyme as a type-II casein kinase. However, its structural properties are different from the mammalian type-II casein kinases and make the D. discoideum enzyme more similar to the plants type-II casein kinases.  相似文献

A nuclear system for studying nuclear protein phosphorylation is characterized, using as phosphate donor either low levels of [gamma-32P]GTP, low levels of [gamma-32P]ATP, or low levels of labeled ATP plus excess unlabeled GTP. Since nuclear casein kinase II is the only described nuclear protein kinase to use GTP with high affinity, low levels of GTP should specifically assay this enzyme. ATP should measure all kinases, and ATP plus unlabeled GTP should measure all kinases except nuclear casein kinase II (ATP-specific kinases). The results are consistent with these predictions. In contrast with the ATP-specific activity, endogenous phosphorylation with GTP was enhanced by 100 mM NaCl, inhibited by heparin and quercetin, stimulated by polyamines, and did not use exogenous histone as substrate. The GTP- and ATP-specific kinases phosphorylated different subsets of about 20 endogenous polypeptides each. Addition of purified casein kinase II enhanced the GTP-supported phosphorylation of the identical proteins that were phosphorylated by endogenous kinase. These results support the hypothesis that activity measured with GTP is catalyzed by nuclear casein kinase II, though other minor kinases which can use GTP are not ruled out. Preliminary observations with this system suggest that the major nuclear kinases exist in an inhibited state in nuclei, and that the effects of polyamines on nuclear casein kinase II activity are substrate specific. This nuclear system is used to determine if the C-proteins of hnRNP particles, previously shown to be substrates for nuclear casein kinase II in isolated particles, is phosphorylated by GTP in intact nuclei. The results demonstrate that the C-proteins are effectively phosphorylated by GTP, but in addition they are phosphorylated by ATP-specific kinase activity.  相似文献

A 50 kDa, calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) was purified about 1000-fold from cultured cells of alfalfa (Medicago varia) on the basis of its histone H1 phosphorylation activity. The major polypeptide from bovine histone H1 phosphorylated by either animal protein kinase C (PK-C) or by the alfalfa CDPK gave an identical phosphopeptide pattern. The phosphoamino acid determination showed phosphorylation of serine residues in histone H1 by the plant enzyme. Histone-related oligopeptides known to be substrates for animal histone kinases also served as substrates for the alfalfa kinase. Both of the studied peptides (GKKRKRSRKA; AAASFKAKK) inhibited phosphorylation of H1 histones by bovine and alfalfa kinases. The results of competition studies with the nonapeptide (AAASFKAKK), which is a PK-C specific substrate, suggest common features in target recognition between the plant Ca2+-dependent kinase and animal protein kinase C. We also propose that synthetic peptides like AAASFKAKK can be used as a tool to study substrates of plant kinases in crude cell extracts.  相似文献

Incubation of highly purified preparations of the bovine kidney cytosolic protamine kinase in the presence of near homogeneous preparations of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PrP2Ac) from bovine kidney resulted in time-dependent inactivation of the protamine kinase. By contrast, incubation of bovine kidney cytosolic casein kinase II with PrP2Ac had no effect on the activity of this casein kinase II. In the presence of 10 mM sodium fluoride, 10 mM inorganic orthophosphate, 1 mM pyrophosphate or 0.1 mM ATP, the inactivation of the protamine kinase by PrP2Ac was completely inhibited. Half-maximal inhibition by ATP occurred at about 20 microM. The rate of inactivation of the protamine kinase by PrP2Ac was unaffected by Mg2+, Mn2+, Ca2+, EDTA or EGTA at 1 mM. The results strongly indicate that the activity of the cytosolic protamine kinase is regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation.  相似文献

A nuclear system for studying nuclear protein phosphorylation is characterized, using as phosphate donor either low levels of [γ-32P]GTP, low levels of [γ-32P]ATP, or low levels of labeled ATP plus excess unlabeled GTP.

The low-molecular-weight soybean antiprotease C-II is specifically phosphorylated by a cAMP-independent protein kinase (Casein kinase TS) much more readily than casein itself. Unlike the routinely used substrates casein and phosvitin, C-II is not affected either by casein kinases S or by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. It can be successfully employed therefore for the direct and reliable evaluation of casein kinase TS within preparations still contaminated by other protein kinases. Crude preparations of soybean antiproteases can replace C-II as specifically phosphorylatable substrate of casein kinase TS, though displaying a much lower phosphorylation efficiency.  相似文献

Two cAMP-independent protein kinases were purified from rat brain neuron chromatin by using extraction with ammonium sulfate with subsequent chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-25 and Sephadex G-150. These enzymes were identified as casein kinases NI and NII, respectively. The molecular masses of the proteins as determined by gel filtration are 4500 and 130 Da. Casein kinase NII utilizes ATP (Km = 7.5 mM) and GTP (Km = 8.5 mM) as substrates, while casein kinase NI utilizes only ATP (Km = 6 mM). The activities of the both enzymes are inhibited by Mn2+ and Ca2+, while heparin (1 microgram/ml) inhibits only casein kinase NII. The memory stimulator ethymizol (ethylnorantipheine) increases the activity of casein kinase NII only when brain proteins extracted by 0.35 M NaCl or rat liver HMG-proteins are used as reaction substrates. This substance has no effect on the phosphorylation of casein and histone HI. The role of casein kinase NII of neuronal chromatin in the realization of stimulatory effects of physiologically active substances on RNA synthesis is discussed.  相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that spermine stimulates the phosphorylation of a 47 kilodalton nuclear polypeptide from pea plumules (N Datta, LK Hardison, SJ Roux 1986 Plant Physiol 82: 681-684) In this paper we report that spermine stimulates the activity of a cyclic AMP independent casein kinase, partially purified from a chromatin fraction of pea plumule nuclei. This effect of spermine was substrate specific; i.e. with casein as substrate, spermine stimulated the kinase activity, and with phosvitin as substrate, spermine completely inhibited the activity. The stimulation by spermine of the casein kinase was, in part, due to the lowering of the Mg2+ requirement of the kinase. Heparin could partially inhibit this casein kinase activity and spermine completely overcame this inhibition. By further purification of the casein kinase extract on high performance liquid chromatography, we fractionated it into an NI and an NII kinase. Spermine stimulated the NII kinase by 5- to 6-fold but had no effect on the NI kinase. Using [γ-32P]GTP, we have shown that spermine promotes the phosphorylation of the 47 kilodalton polypeptide(s) in isolated nuclei, at least in part by stimulating an NII kinase.  相似文献
