Background
The Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) superfamily was originally identified as enzymes that catalyze the attachment of ADP-ribose subunits to target proteins using NAD+ as a substrate. The family is characterized by the catalytic site, termed the PARP signature. While these proteins can be found in a range of eukaryotes, they have been best studied in mammals. In these organisms, PARPs have key functions in DNA repair, genome integrity and epigenetic regulation. More recently it has been found that proteins within the PARP superfamily have altered catalytic sites, and have mono(ADP-ribose) transferase (mART) activity or are enzymatically inactive. These findings suggest that the PARP signature has a broader range of functions that initially predicted. In this study, we investigate the evolutionary history of PARP genes across the eukaryotes. 相似文献2.
The mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation reaction is a post-translational modification that is catalysed by both bacterial toxins and eukaryotic enzymes, and that results in the transfer of ADP-ribose from betaNAD+ to various acceptor proteins. In mammals, both intracellular and extracellular reactions have been described; the latter are due to glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored or secreted enzymes that are able to modify their targets, which include the purinergic receptor P2X7, the defensins and the integrins. Intracellular mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation modifies proteins that have roles in cell signalling and metabolism, such as the chaperone GRP78/BiP, the beta-subunit of heterotrimeric G-proteins and glutamate dehydrogenase. The molecular identification of the intracellular enzymes, however, is still missing. A better molecular understanding of this reaction will help in the full definition of its role in cell physiology and pathology. 相似文献

Primary cultures of embryonic chick skeletal myogenic cells were used as an experimental model to examine the possible role of mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions in myogenic differentiation. Initial studies demonstrated arginine-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase activity in the myogenic cell cultures. We then examined the effect of a novel inhibitor of cellular arginine-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferases, meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), on differentiation of cultured embryonic chick skeletal myoblasts. MIBG reversibly inhibited both proliferation and differentiation of embryonic chick myoblasts grown in culture. Micromolar (15-60 microM) concentrations of MIBG blocked myoblast fusion, the differentiation-specific increase in creatine phosphokinase activity, and both DNA and protein accumulation in myogenic cell cultures. Meta-iodobenzylamine, an analog of MIBG missing the guanidine group, had no effect. Low concentrations of methylglyoxal bis-guanylhydrazone, a substrate for cholera toxin with a higher Km than MIBG, also had no effect, but higher concentrations reversibly inhibited fusion. These findings suggest a possible role for mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions in myogenesis. In addition, the total arginine-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase activity increased with differentiation in the myogenic cell cultures, and this increase was also blocked by MIBG treatment. Because high levels of activity were found in the membrane fraction derived from later, myotube cultures, the membrane fraction from 96-h cultures was incubated with [32P]NAD+ and subjected to electrophoresis and autoradiography. Three proteins, migrating at 21, 20, and 17 kDa, that were ADP-ribosylated in the absence, but not the presence, of MIBG were identified. These proteins may be endogenous substrates for this enzyme. 相似文献

Protein posttranslational modifications critically regulate a range of physiological and disease processes. In addition to tyrosine, serine, and threonine phosphorylation, reversible N‐ε acylation and alkylation of protein lysine residues also modulate diverse aspects of cellular function. Studies of lysine acyl and alkyl modifications have focused on nuclear proteins in epigenetic regulation; however, lysine modifications are also prevalent on cytosolic proteins to serve increasingly apparent, although less understood roles in cell regulation. Here, the methyl‐lysine (meK) proteome of anucleate blood platelets is characterized. With high‐resolution, multiplex MS methods, 190 mono‐, di‐, and tri‐meK modifications are identified on 150 different platelet proteins—including 28 meK modifications quantified by tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling. In addition to identifying meK modifications on calmodulin (CaM), GRP78 (HSPA5, BiP), and EF1A1 that have been previously characterized in other cell types, more novel modifications are also uncovered on cofilin, drebin‐like protein (DBNL, Hip‐55), DOCK8, TRIM25, and numerous other cytoplasmic proteins. Together, the results and analyses support roles for lysine methylation in mediating cytoskeletal, translational, secretory, and other cellular processes. MS data for this study have been deposited into the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository with the dataset identifier PXD012217. 相似文献

Partially purified enzymatic fractions from extracts of Escherichia coli B/r catalyse transfer of the isotope label from [adenine-2,8-(3)H]NAD+ to some bacterial proteins, as well as to hen egg-white lysozyme. The radioactive group in the modified lysozyme was identified as mono(ADP-ribose). Several bacterial proteins were labelled in vivo with 32P; the presence of the label in the form of an ADP-ribosyl group was shown in one of them. 相似文献

Quantitative determination of poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) in different hepatic tissues by an isotope dilution procedure. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

A procedure has been developed for the quantitation of poly(ADP-ribose) in intact tissues. It is based on the dilution of added [3H]poly(ADP-ribose) by the endogenous polymer. 5 - 6 nanomoles protein-bound ADP-ribose per mg DNA were found in adult and neonatal rat liver, while Zajdela hepatoma cells had significantly lower values. A comparison with mono(ADP-ribose) residues in adult rat liver revealed similar levels of monomeric and polymeric ADP-ribose residues. This means that far more proteins (or acceptor sites on proteins) must be occupied by single ADP-ribose residues than by oligo or poly(ADP-ribose) chains. While the poly(ADP-ribose) levels of the different tissues do not correlate with the corresponding proliferation rates, the amount of mono(ADP-ribose) does show a certain Correlation, being low in rapidly growing tissues. 相似文献

The ε-amino group of lysine residues may be mono-, di- or tri-methylated by protein lysine methyltransferases. In the past few years it has been highly considered that methylation of both histone and non-histone proteins has fundamental role in development and progression of various human diseases. Thus, the establishment of tools to study lysine methylation that will distinguish between the different states of methylation is required to elucidate their cellular functions. The 3X malignant brain tumor domain (3XMBT) repeats of the Lethal(3)malignant brain tumor-like protein 1 (L3MBTL1) have been utilized in the past as an affinity reagent for the identification of mono- and di-methylated lysine residues on individual proteins and on a proteomic scale. Here, we have utilized the 3XMBT domain to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that allows the high-throughput detection of 3XMBT binding to methylated lysines. We demonstrated that this system allows the detection of methylated peptides, methylated proteins and PKMT activity on both peptides and proteins. We also optimized the assay to detect 3XMBT binding in crude E. coli lysates which facilitated the high throughput screening of 3XMBT mutant libraries. We have utilized protein engineering tools and generated a double site saturation 3XMBT library of residues 361 and 411 that were shown before to be important for binding mono and di-methylated substrates and identified variants that can exclusively recognize only di-methylated peptides. Together, our results demonstrate a powerful new approach that will contribute to deeper understanding of lysine methylation biology and that can be utilized for the engineering of domains for specific binders of other post-translational modifications. 相似文献

Plant phototropism is an adaptive response to changes in light direction, quantity, and quality that results in optimization of photosynthetic light harvesting, as well as water and nutrient acquisition. Though several components of the phototropic signal response pathway have been identified in recent years, including the blue light (BL) receptors phototropin1 (phot1) and phot2, much remains unknown. Here, we show that the phot1-interacting protein NONPHOTOTROPIC HYPOCOTYL3 (NPH3) functions as a substrate adapter in a CULLIN3-based E3 ubiquitin ligase, CRL3(NPH3). Under low-intensity BL, CRL3(NPH3) mediates the mono/multiubiquitination of phot1, likely marking it for clathrin-dependent internalization from the plasma membrane. In high-intensity BL, phot1 is both mono/multi- and polyubiquitinated by CRL3(NPH3), with the latter event targeting phot1 for 26S proteasome-mediated degradation. Polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation of phot1 under high-intensity BL likely represent means of receptor desensitization, while mono/multiubiquitination-stimulated internalization of phot1 may be coupled to BL-induced relocalization of hormone (auxin) transporters. 相似文献

Protein ubiquitination is an important mechanism responsible not only for specific labeling of proteins for their subsequent degradation; it also determines localization of proteins in the cell and regulation of protein-protein interactions. In the context of protein-protein interactions binding of (mono/poly)ubiquitinated molecules to proteins containing specific ubiquitin binding domains plays the decisive role. Formation of the ubiquitin interactome has been demonstrated for cytosol. Involvement of mitochondria and associated extramitochondrial proteins into such interactions still requires detailed investigation. In this study using an optical biosensor we have demonstrated binding of proteins of mouse brain mitochondrial lysates to immobilized monomeric ubiquitin. Model purified proteins, which are known to be associated with the outer mitochondrial compartment (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydorgenase, creatine phosphokinase), interacted with immobilized ubiquitin as well as with each other. This suggests that (poly)ubiquitinated chains may be involved in protein-protein interactions between ubiquitinated and non-ubiquitinated proteins and thus may contribute to formation of (mitochondrial) ubiquitin subinteractome. 相似文献

When the homogenate prepared from immature rat testes was incubated with [32P]NAD, several proteins (90, 39 and 20 kDa) were ADP-ribosylated in the absence of bacterial toxins. This observation suggested the existence of an endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase and substrates. The data that the digested product by phosphodiesterase of ADP-ribosylated 20 kDa protein was 5'-AMP suggested that 20 kDa protein was mono(ADP-ribosyl)ated. In addition, the mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of 20 kDa protein was enhanced by guanine nucleotides such as GTP, GDP and GTP[gamma S], and decreased by the concentrations of 10 mM Mg2+. In contrast, the incorporation of ADP-ribose moiety from NAD to both 90 and 39 kDa proteins was not changed by guanine nucleotides. On the other hand, mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of 20 kDa protein was not observed in the homogenate prepared from other tissues of the same rats. Furthermore, we found that mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of 20 kDa protein was decreased with the maturation of the rats and that an endogenous mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase and 20 kDa protein were located in the nuclei. 相似文献

The analysis of plasma samples from HIV-1/HCV mono- and coinfected individuals by quantitative proteomics is an efficient strategy to investigate changes in protein abundances and to characterize the proteins that are the effectors of cellular functions involved in viral pathogenesis. In this study, the infected and healthy plasma samples (in triplicate) were treated with ProteoMiner beads to equalize protein concentrations and subjected to 4-plex iTRAQ labeling and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. A total of 70 proteins were identified with high confidence in the triplicate analysis of plasma proteins and 65% of the proteins were found to be common among the three replicates. Apolipoproteins and complement proteins are the two major classes of proteins that exhibited differential regulation. The results of quantitative analysis revealed that APOA2, APOC2, APOE, C3, HRG proteins were upregulated in the plasma of all the three HIV-1 mono-, HCV mono-, and coinfected patient samples compared to healthy control samples. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) of the upregulated proteins revealed that they are implicated in the hepatic lipid metabolism, inflammation, and acute-phase response signaling pathways. Thus, we identified several differentially regulated proteins in HIV-1/HCV mono and coinfected plasma samples that may be potential biomarkers for liver disease. 相似文献

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)‐ribosylation is a post‐translational protein modification implicated in the regulation of a range of cellular processes. A family of proteins that catalyse ADP‐ribosylation reactions are the poly(ADP‐ribose) (PAR) polymerases (PARPs). PARPs covalently attach an ADP‐ribose nucleotide to target proteins and some PARP family members can subsequently add additional ADP‐ribose units to generate a PAR chain. The hydrolysis of PAR chains is catalysed by PAR glycohydrolase (PARG). PARG is unable to cleave the mono(ADP‐ribose) unit directly linked to the protein and although the enzymatic activity that catalyses this reaction has been detected in mammalian cell extracts, the protein(s) responsible remain unknown. Here, we report the homozygous mutation of the c6orf130 gene in patients with severe neurodegeneration, and identify C6orf130 as a PARP‐interacting protein that removes mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation on glutamate amino acid residues in PARP‐modified proteins. X‐ray structures and biochemical analysis of C6orf130 suggest a mechanism of catalytic reversal involving a transient C6orf130 lysyl‐(ADP‐ribose) intermediate. Furthermore, depletion of C6orf130 protein in cells leads to proliferation and DNA repair defects. Collectively, our data suggest that C6orf130 enzymatic activity has a role in the turnover and recycling of protein ADP‐ribosylation, and we have implicated the importance of this protein in supporting normal cellular function in humans. 相似文献

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translational modification of proteins involved in regulation of many cellular pathways. Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) consists of chains of repeating ADP-ribose nucleotide units and is synthesized by the family of enzymes called poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). This modification can be removed by the hydrolytic action of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) and ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3 (ARH3). Hydrolytic activity of macrodomain proteins (MacroD1, MacroD2 and TARG1) is responsible for the removal of terminal ADP-ribose unit and for complete reversion of protein ADP-ribosylation.Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is widely utilized in eukaryotes and PARPs are present in representatives from all six major eukaryotic supergroups, with only a small number of eukaryotic species that do not possess PARP genes. The last common ancestor of all eukaryotes possessed at least five types of PARP proteins that include both mono and poly(ADP-ribosyl) transferases. Distribution of PARGs strictly follows the distribution of PARP proteins in eukaryotic species. At least one of the macrodomain proteins that hydrolyse terminal ADP-ribose is also always present. Therefore, we can presume that the last common ancestor of all eukaryotes possessed a fully functional and reversible PAR metabolism and that PAR signalling provided the conditions essential for survival of the ancestral eukaryote in its ancient environment.PARP proteins are far less prevalent in bacteria and were probably gained through horizontal gene transfer. Only eleven bacterial species possess all proteins essential for a functional PAR metabolism, although it is not known whether PAR metabolism is truly functional in bacteria. Several dsDNA viruses also possess PARP homologues, while no PARP proteins have been identified in any archaeal genome.Our analysis of the distribution of enzymes involved in PAR metabolism provides insight into the evolution of these important signalling systems, as well as providing the basis for selection of the appropriate genetic model organisms to study the physiology of the specific human PARP proteins. 相似文献

Human metabolism of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is complex and yields mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) and numerous oxidative metabolites. The oxidative metabolites, mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP), mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate (MECPP) and mono(2-carboxymethylhexyl) phthalate (MCMHP), have been considered to be better biomarkers for DEHP exposure assessment than MEHP because urinary levels of these metabolites are generally higher than MEHP, and their measurements are not subject to contamination. The urinary levels of the above metabolites, and of three other recently identified DEHP oxidative metabolites, mono(2-ethyl-3-carboxypropyl) phthalate (MECPrP), mono-2-(1-oxoethylhexyl) phthalate (MOEHP), and mono(2-ethyl-4-carboxybutyl) phthalate (MECBP), were measured in 129 adults. MECPP, MCMHP and MEHHP were present in all the samples analysed. MEHP and the other oxidative metabolites were detected less frequently: MEOHP (99%), MECBP (88%), MECPrP (84%), MEHP (83%) and MOEHP (77%). The levels of all DEHP metabolites were highly correlated (p<0.0001) with each other, confirming a common parent. The ? and ?-1 oxidative metabolites (MECPP, MCMHP, MEHHP and MEOHP) comprised 87.1% of all metabolites measured, and thus are most likely the best biomarkers for DEHP exposure assessment. The percentage of the unglucuronidated free form excreted in urine was higher for the ester linkage carboxylated DEHP metabolites compared with alcoholic and ketonic DEHP metabolites. The percentage of the unglucuronidated free form excreted in urine was higher for the DEHP metabolites with a carboxylated ester side-chain compared with alcoholic and ketonic metabolites. Further, differences were found between the DEHP metabolite profile between this adult population and that of six neonates exposed to high doses of DEHP through extensive medical treatment. In the neonates, MEHP represented 0.6% and MECPP 65.5% of the eight DEHP metabolites measured compared to 6.6% (MEHP) and 31.8% (MECPP) in the adults. Whether the observed differences reflect differences in route/duration of the exposure, age and/or health status of the individuals is presently unknown. 相似文献

The characteristics of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in skeletal muscle membranes have been studied. The membrane enzymes can ADP-ribosylate exogenous substrates such as guanylhydrazones, polyarginine, lysozyme, and histones. The properties of the enzyme are investigated by using diethylaminobenzylidineaminoguanidine as a model substrate. Incubation of the membranes with [32P]adenylate-labeled NAD results in the labeling of a number of cellular proteins. Magnesium ions, detergents, and diethylaminobenzylidineaminoguanidine stimulated the ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins, whereas L-arginine methyl ester and arginine inhibited ADP-ribosylation. The labeling of specific proteins in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and glycogen pellet is influenced significantly by detergents, nucleotides, and thiols. The hydroxylamine sensitivity of the ADP-ribose linkage in the membrane proteins is similar to that reported for (ADP-ribose)-arginine linkage. Snake venom phosphodiesterase digestion of the ADP-ribosylated membranes produces 5'-AMP as the major acid-soluble digestion product. The results suggest that the primary mode of modification is mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation. The ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in the membrane preparations is not extracted under conditions used for solubilization of extrinsic proteins, suggesting that the activity is associated with some integral membrane protein. 相似文献

The ubiquitylation signal promotes trafficking of endogenous and retroviral transmembrane proteins. The signal is decoded by a large set of ubiquitin (Ub) receptors that tether Ub‐binding domains (UBDs) to the trafficking machinery. We developed a structure‐based procedure to scan the protein data bank for hidden UBDs. The screen retrieved many of the known UBDs. Intriguingly, new potential UBDs were identified, including the ALIX‐V domain. Pull‐down, cross‐linking and E3‐independent ubiquitylation assays biochemically corroborated the in silico findings. Guided by the output model, we designed mutations at the postulated ALIX‐V:Ub interface. Biophysical affinity measurements using microscale‐thermophoresis of wild‐type and mutant proteins revealed some of the interacting residues of the complex. ALIX‐V binds mono‐Ub with a Kd of 119 μM. We show that ALIX‐V oligomerizes with a Hill coefficient of 5.4 and IC50 of 27.6 μM and that mono‐Ub induces ALIX‐V oligomerization. Moreover, we show that ALIX‐V preferentially binds K63 di‐Ub compared with mono‐Ub and K48 di‐Ub. Finally, an in vivo functionality assay demonstrates the significance of ALIX‐V:Ub interaction in equine infectious anaemia virus budding. These results not only validate the new procedure, but also demonstrate that ALIX‐V directly interacts with Ub in vivo and that this interaction can influence retroviral budding. 相似文献

Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PADPRP) was found to be an efficient protein acceptor for the arginine-specific ADP-ribosylation reaction catalyzed by cholera toxin (CT). The covalent modification of PADPRP was carried out with [32P]2'-dNAD as a selective mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation substrate. Mono(2'-dADP-ribosyl)ated-PADPRP was identified by autoradiographic analysis of the CT reaction products following sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Addition of recombinant ADP-ribosylation factor (rARF), a small GTP-binding protein that stimulates the enzymatic activity of CT, enhanced the mono(2'-dADP-ribosyl)ation of PADPRP in a time- and substrate-dependent manner. In contrast, rARF did not change the ADP-ribose polymerizing activity of PADPRP. Peptide mapping mapping of [32P] labeled (2'-dADP-ribose)-PADPRP, following partial proteolysis with papain, revealed that the DNA-binding domain of PADPRP contained the mono(2'-dADP-ribosyl)ated arginine residue(s). Our results are consistent with the conclusion that PADPRP is susceptible to arginine-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation catalyzed by CT. 相似文献

Fas‐associated factor (FAF)‐1 is a multidomain protein that was first identified as a member of the Fas death‐inducing signaling complex, but later found to be involved in various biological processes. Although the exact mechanisms are not clear, FAF1 seems to play an important role in cancer, asbestos‐induced mesotheliomas, and Parkinson's disease. It interacts with polyubiquitinated proteins, Hsp70, and p97/VCP (valosin‐containing protein), in addition to the proteins of the Fas‐signaling pathway. We have determined the crystal structure of the ubiquitin‐associated domain of human FAF1 (hFAF1‐UBA) and examined its interaction with ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like proteins using nuclear magnetic resonance. hFAF1‐UBA revealed a canonical three‐helical bundle that selectively binds to mono‐ and di‐ubiquitin (Lys48‐linked), but not to SUMO‐1 (small ubiquitin‐related modifier 1) or NEDD8 (neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down‐regulated 8). The interaction between hFAF1‐UBA and di‐ubiquitin involves hydrophobic interaction accompanied by a transition in the di‐ubiquitin conformation. These results provide structural insight into the mechanism of polyubiquitin recognition by hFAF1‐UBA. 相似文献

There are 67 proteins in the human mitochondrial transport protein family. They have been identified from among the proteins of the RefSeq database on the basis of sequence similarity to proteins that have been functionally identified as mitochondrial transport proteins. They have also been identified by matching their predicted structure to the high resolution structure of the bovine ADP/ATP T1 transporter subunit/carboxyatractyloside complex. 74 nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNP) have been identified in their gene sequences. These nsSNPs are present in genes of 30 of the proteins. No nsSNP has been found in 24 of the protein genes and no search has as yet been carried out on the rest (13) of them. The largest number of nsSNPs are in the ADP/ATP T3 transporter, the uncoupling protein 3 L, and the phosphate transporter genes with 7, 6, and 6, respectively. nsSNPs are located in groups along the protein sequence suggesting that certain protein domains are too critical for transport function to tolerate mutations. This interpretation has been validated with mutation and function studies of the phosphate transporter. Human diseases have been identified with replacement mutations in seven of these proteins. Their genes are not abnormally susceptible to mutations since they have the smallest number of nsSNPs. Disease causing mutations have also been observed as: substitution, silent (may affect stability of messages), frameshift (protein truncation or elongation), splicing (exon skipping), residue deletion. Disease causing mutations have only been identified in few transporter genes because others do not yield dramatic symptoms or are essential and thus lethal. Mutations in other transporter genes may also only have a major impact through their combination with other genes and their nsSNPs. 相似文献

U3 snoRNP, the most abundant of the small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein particles (snoRNPs), has previously been demonstrated to participate in pre-rRNA maturation. Here we report the purification of U3 snoRNP from CHO cells using anti-m3G-immunoaffinity and mono Q anion-exchange chromatography. Isolated U3 snoRNPs contain three novel proteins, of 15, 50 and 55 kDa respectively. These proteins may represent core U3 snoRNP proteins whose binding mediates the association of other proteins, such as fibrillarin, that are lost during purification. Using a rabbit antiserum raised against the 55 kDa protein, and an in vitro reconstitution assay, we have localised the 55 kDa protein binding site on the U3 snoRNA. Stable binding of the 55 kDa protein requires sequences located between nucleotides 97 and 204 of the human U3 snoRNA, including the evolutionarily conserved B and C sequence motifs. 相似文献
