PTP1B is a cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphatase that is a regulator of the kinase activity of the insulin receptor; the two protein tyrosine phosphatases LAR and CD45 are receptor type phosphatases crucially important to cell function. LAR also is involved in regulation of the insulin receptor while CD45 is critical for T-cell activation. Although LAR and CD45 are both transmembrane phosphatases, these enzymes manifest their phosphatase activity through a catalytic cytosolic domain. We have utilized X-ray coordinates of related phosphatases (RPTPalpha and RPTmu) and comparative protein modeling to obtain molecular models of the D1 catalytic domains of CD45 and LAR. The models were tested using established protocols and found to be comparable to low resolution X-ray structures. The structure obtained for LAR was compared with the recently reported X-ray structure. Both the CD45-D1 and LAR-D1 structures were then compared to and contrasted with PTP1B. The active site of pockets of the three enzymes were found to be very uniform in structure and charge distribution. Also, the gross surface topology around the active site was found to be somewhat similar for the 3 phosphatases. However, there were significant differences in surface topology, and, more importantly, large changes in surface charge distribution. The differences between the surface features of these enzymes provide an explanation for the selectivity of inhibition by a number of peptides.  相似文献

Reversible protein phosphorylation of serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues by protein kinases and phosphatases is important for the regulation of cellular signal transduction and controls many cellular functions. Disturbances in this regulation have been implicated in a growing number of diseases, making kinases and phosphatases useful targets for therapeutic intervention. The suitability of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology has been widely demonstrated in many drug discovery applications. A novel and straightforward methodology is presented for analyzing small molecule binding to two serine/threonine phosphatases, PP1 and PP2B (calcineurin), and to the prototypic tyrosine phosphatase, PTP1B. Emphasis was placed on investigating the immobilization conditions of the phosphatases by using reducing conditions, inhibitors and metal ions. A comparison of inhibitor binding, either to phosphatase (PP2B) alone or in complex with the regulatory protein subunit calmodulin, revealed different kinetics. The methodology was also used to test inhibitor specificity toward different phosphatases. Inhibition of regulatory protein PP-inhibitor-2 binding to PP1 by a small molecule inhibitor was demonstrated. This type of information, together with data on compound binding that is independent of enzyme activity and in which affinities are resolved into kinetic rate constants, may be of great significance for the development of highly specific and high-affinity phosphatase inhibitors.  相似文献

The function of the second protein tyrosine phosphatase domain (D2) in two-domain protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) is not well understood. In CD45, D2 can interact with the catalytic domain (D1) and stabilize its activity. Although D2 itself has no detectable catalytic activity, it can bind substrate and may influence the substrate specificity of CD45. To further explore the function of D2 in T cells, a full-length construct of CD45 lacking the D1 catalytic domain (CD45RABC-D2) was expressed in CD45+ and CD45- Jurkat T cells. In CD45- Jurkat T cells, CD45RABC-D2 associated with Lck but, unlike its active counterpart CD45RABC, did not restore the induction of tyrosine phosphorylation or CD69 expression upon T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. Expression of CD45RABC-D2 in CD45+ Jurkat T cells resulted in its association with Lck, increased the phosphorylation state of Lck, and reduced T cell activation. TCR-induced tyrosine phosphorylation was delayed, and although MAPK phosphorylation and CD69 expression were not significantly affected, the calcium signal and IL2 production were severely reduced. This indicates that the non-catalytic domains of CD45 can interact with Lck in T cells. CD45RABC-D2 acts as a dominant negative resulting in an increase in Lck phosphorylation and a preferential loss of the calcium signaling pathway, but not the MAPK pathway, upon TCR signaling. This finding suggests that, in addition to their established roles in the initiation of TCR signaling, CD45 and Lck may also influence the type of TCR signal generated.  相似文献

We have characterized some novel caged fluorescein diphosphates as photoactivatable, cell-permeable substrates for protein tyrosine phosphatases and explored their usefulness in identifying inhibitors of tyrosine phosphatases. 1-(2-Nitrophenyl)ethyl protected fluorescein diphosphate (NPE-FDP) undergoes rapid photolysis to release FDP upon irradiation with a 450-W UV immersion lamp and its by-product does not inactivate protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) or alters the viability of cells. The generated FDP from photolysis of NPE-FDP was shown to have exactly the same properties as FDP, which can be used as a PTP substrate in pure enzyme assays. We have also demonstrated that the PTP activity can be measured using NPE-FDP in small droplets. Its advantage as an inert substrate before photolysis allows the possibility of applying nanospray technology in screening and optimizing PTP inhibitors through a large chemical library. Like other caged bioeffectors such as nucleotide and inositol trisphosphate, NPE-FDP is cell-permeable. The NPE-FDP can be photolyzed to generate FDP inside cells, and then can be hydrolyzed by phosphatases to produce fluorescein monophosphate and subsequently to fluorescein. Although Jurkat cells contain high concentrations of CD45, it has not been possible to use FDP as a substrate to measure CD45 activity in the intact cell. This is due to the hydrolysis of FDP by several other cellular phosphatases. However, NPE-FDP can be useful as a cell-permeable substrate for overexpressed phosphatases such as alkaline phosphatase.  相似文献

The myeloid restricted membrane glycoprotein, CD33, is a member of the recently characterized "sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-related lectin" family. Although CD33 can mediate sialic acid-dependent cell interactions as a recombinant protein, its function in myeloid cells has yet to be determined. Since CD33 contains two potential immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs in its cytoplasmic tail, we investigated whether it might act as a signaling receptor in myeloid cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation of CD33 in myeloid cell lines was stimulated by cell surface cross-linking or by pervanadate, and inhibited by PP2, a specific inhibitor of Src family tyrosine kinases. Phosphorylated CD33 recruited both the protein-tyrosine phosphatases, SHP-1 and SHP-2. CD33 was dephosphorylated in vitro by the co-immunoprecipitated tyrosine phosphatases, suggesting that it might also be an in vivo substrate. The first CD33 phosphotyrosine motif is dominant in CD33-SHP-1/SHP-2 interactions, since mutating tyrosine 340 in a CD33-cytoplasmic tail fusion protein significantly reduced binding to SHP-1 and SHP-2 in THP-1 lysates, while mutation of tyrosine 358 had no effect. Furthermore, the NH2-terminal Src homology 2 domain of SHP-1 and SHP-2, believed to be essential for phosphatase activation, selectively bound a CD33 phosphopeptide containing tyrosine 340 but not one containing tyrosine 358. Finally, mutation of tyrosine 340 increased red blood cell binding by CD33 expressed in COS cells. Hence, CD33 signaling through selective recruitment of SHP-1/SHP-2 may modulate its ligand(s) binding activity.  相似文献

Increasing evidence suggests that CD45, a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase, is an important modulator of macrophage activation. Microglia, resident brain macrophages, express CD45 and proliferate under pathologic conditions. In this study, we examined the role of CD45 in modulating GM-CSF-induced proliferation and signal transduction in primary human microglial cultures. Soluble, but not immobilized anti-CD45RO induced tyrosine phosphatase activity and inhibited GM-CSF-induced microglial proliferation. Microglial proliferation was also inhibited by PP2 (Src inhibitor), LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor), and U0126 (MEK inhibitor). GM-CSF induced phosphorylation of Jak2, Stat5, Hck (the myeloid-restricted Src kinase), Akt, Stat3, and Erk MAPKs in microglia. Of these, anti-CD45RO inhibited phosphorylation of Hck and Akt, and PP2 inhibited phosphorylation of Hck and Akt. In a macrophage cell line stably overexpressing wild-type or kinase-inactive Hck, GM-CSF increased proliferation of the control (empty vector) and wild-type but not kinase-inactive cells, and this was inhibited by anti-CD45RO. Together, these results demonstrate that, in macrophages, Hck tyrosine kinase is activated by GM-CSF, and that Hck plays a pivotal role in cell proliferation and survival by activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. Ab-mediated activation of macrophage and microglial CD45 tyrosine phosphatase may have therapeutic implications for CNS inflammatory diseases.  相似文献

It has been proposed on the basis of amino acid sequence homology that the leukocyte common antigen CD45 represents a family of catalytically active, receptor-linked protein tyrosine phosphatases [Charbonneau, H., Tonks, N. K., Walsh, K. A., & Fischer, E. H. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85, 7182-7186]. The present study confirms that CD45 possesses intrinsic protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity. First, a mouse monoclonal antibody to CD45 (mAb 9.4) specifically eliminated, by precipitation, PTPase activity from a high Mr fraction containing CD45, prepared by gel filtration (Sephacryl S200) of a Triton X-100 extract of human spleen. Second, PTPase activity was demonstrated in a highly purified preparation of CD45 that was eluted with a high pH buffer from an affinity column, constructed from the same antibody. Third, on sucrose density gradient centrifugation, PTPase activity was only found in those fractions that contained CD45 as determined by Western analysis. When CD45 was caused to aggregate, first by reacting it with mAb 9.4 and then adding a secondary, cross-linking anti-mouse mAb, the PTPase activity shifted to the same higher Mr fractions that contained CD45. No shift in CD45 or PTPase was observed following addition of a control IgG2a. On this basis, it is concluded that CD45 is a protein tyrosine phosphatase.  相似文献

Given the importance of protein phosphorylation in the context of cellular functions, abnormal protein phosphatase activity has been implicated in several diseases, including cancer. These critical roles of protein phosphatases qualify them as potential targets for the development of medicinal compounds that possess distinct modes of action such as violacein. In this work, studies with this natural indolic pigment at a concentration of 10.0 micromol L(-1) demonstrated a 20% activation of total protein phosphatase extracted from human lymphocytes. Although no alteration was observed on protein tyrosine phosphatase (CD45), 30% of inhibition was achieved in cytoplasmatic protein phosphatase activity after incubation with 10.0 micromol L(-1) violacein. Additionally, 5.0 micromol L(-1) of violacein inhibited by 50% the serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity. Violacein presented toxic effect on lymphocytes with IC50 values of 3 and 10 micromol L(-1) for protein content and protein phosphatase activity, respectively. These findings suggest an important role for protein phosphatases in the mechanisms controlling proliferation and cell death.  相似文献

Treatment of adipocytes with okadaic acid (a specific inhibitor of type 1 and 2a protein phosphatases) resulted in a rapid 8-10-fold stimulation of cell extract myelin basic protein (MBP) kinase activity (t1/2 = 10 min) and kinase activity toward a synthetic peptide RRLSSLRA (S6 peptide) (t1/2 = 5 min). Insulin brought about a smaller stimulation of these two activities (t1/2 = 2.5 min). MBP kinase activity from cells treated with okadaic acid or insulin was resolved by anion exchange chromatography into two well defined peaks; S6 peptide kinase activity was less well resolved. The two partially purified MBP kinases were inactivated by the protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45 or by protein phosphatase 2a (PP-2a). In contrast, partially purified S6 peptide kinase activity was inactivated only by PP-2a or protein phosphatase 1 (PP-1). Furthermore, a 38-kDa protein which co-eluted with one peak of MBP kinase and a 42-kDa protein which co-eluted with the other peak of MBP kinase were phosphorylated on tyrosine after treatment with okadaic acid. These findings illustrate several important points concerning regulation of MBP and S6 peptide kinases. First, these protein kinases are regulated by phosphorylation, and, second, in the absence of hormonal stimuli their activities are strongly suppressed by protein phosphatases. Lastly, the increased tyrosine phosphorylation accompanying the activation of MBP kinases following okadaic acid treatment suggests a role for PP-2a in events that are mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation.  相似文献

The extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 2 (ERK2) is the founding member of a family of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) that are central components of signal transduction pathways for cell proliferation, stress responses, and differentiation. The MAPKs are unique among the Ser/Thr protein kinases in that they require both Thr and Tyr phosphorylation for full activation. The dual phosphorylation of Thr-183 and Tyr-185 in ERK2 is catalyzed by MAPK/ERK kinase 1 (MEK1). However, the identity and relative activity of protein phosphatases that inactivate ERK2 are less well established. In this study, we performed a kinetic analysis of ERK2 dephosphorylation by protein phosphatases using a continuous spectrophotometric enzyme-coupled assay that measures the inorganic phosphate produced in the reaction. Eleven different protein phosphatases, many previously suggested to be involved in ERK2 regulation, were compared, including tyrosine-specific phosphatases (PTP1B, CD45, and HePTP), dual specificity MAPK phosphatases (VHR, MKP3, and MKP5), and Ser/Thr protein phosphatases (PP1, PP2A, PP2B, PP2C alpha, and lambda PP). The results provide biochemical evidence that protein phosphatases display exquisite specificity in their substrate recognition and implicate HePTP, MKP3, and PP2A as ERK2 phosphatases. The fact that ERK2 inactivation could be carried out by multiple specific phosphatases shows that signals can be integrated into the pathway at the phosphatase level to determine the cellular response to external stimuli. Important insights into the roles of various protein phosphatases in ERK2 kinase signaling are obtained, and further analysis of the mechanism by which different protein phosphatases recognize and inactivate MAPKs will increase our understanding of how this kinase family is regulated.  相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) contain an essential thiol in the active site which may be susceptible to attack by nitric oxide-derived biological oxidants. We assessed the effects of peroxynitrite, nitric oxide, and S-nitrosoglutathione on the activity of three human tyrosine phosphatases in vitro. The receptor-like T-cell tyrosine phosphatase (CD45), the non-receptor-like tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B, and leukocyte-antigen-related (LAR) phosphatase were all irreversibly inactivated by peroxynitrite in less than 1 s with IC(50) values of 相似文献

CD45 is a transmembrane, two-domain protein-tyrosine phosphatase expressed exclusively in nucleated hematopoietic cells. The Src family kinase, Lck, is a major CD45 substrate in T cells and CD45 dephosphorylation of Lck is important for both T cell development and activation. However, how the substrate specificity of phosphatases such as CD45 is achieved is not well understood. Analysis of the interaction between the cytoplasmic domain of CD45 and its substrate, Lck, revealed that the active, membrane-proximal phosphatase domain of CD45 (CD45-D1) bound to the phosphorylated Lck kinase domain, the SH2 domain, and the unique N-terminal region of Lck. The second, inactive phosphatase domain (CD45-D2) bound only to the kinase domain of Lck. CD45-D2 was unable to bind phosphotyrosine, and its interaction with the kinase domain of Lck was independent of tyrosine phosphorylation. The binding of CD45-D2 was localized to subdomain X (SD10) of Lck. CD45-D2 bound similarly to Src family kinases but bound Csk to a lesser extent and did not bind significantly to the less related kinase, Erk1. CD45 dephosphorylated Lck and Src at similar rates but dephosphorylated Csk and Erk1 at lower rates. Replacement of Erk1 SD10 with that of Lck resulted in the binding of CD45-D2 and the conversion of Erk1 to a more efficient CD45 substrate. This demonstrates a role for CD45-D2 in binding substrate and identifies the SD10 region in Lck as a novel site involved in substrate recognition.  相似文献

Two protein tyrosine phosphatase genes, PTP1 and PTP2, are known in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the functions of these tyrosine phosphatases are unknown, because mutations in either or both phosphatase genes have no clear phenotypic effects. In this report, we demonstrate that although ptp2 has no obvious phenotype by itself, it has a profound effect on cell growth when combined with mutations in a novel protein phosphatase gene. Using a colony color sectoring assay, we isolated 25 mutants in which the expression of PTP1 or PTP2 is required for growth. Complementation tests of the mutants showed that they have a mutation in one of three genes. Cloning and sequence determination of one of these gene, PTC1, indicated that it encodes a homolog of the mammalian protein serine/threonine phosphatase 2C (PP2C). The amino acid sequence of the PTC1 product is approximately 35% identical to PP2C. Disruption of PTC1 indicated that the PTC1 function is nonessential. In contrast, ptc1 ptp2 double mutants showed a marked growth defect. To examine whether PTC1 encodes an active protein phosphatase, a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-PTC1 fusion gene was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli. Purified GST-PTC1 fusion protein hydrolyzed a serine phosphorylated substrate in the presence of the divalent cation Mg2+ or Mn2+. GST-PTC1 also had weak (approximately 0.5% of its serine phosphatase activity) protein tyrosine phosphatase activity.  相似文献

Kinases and phosphatases participate in precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing regulation, but their precise roles and the identities of their cofactors and substrates remain poorly understood. The human Ser/Thr phosphatase PP2Cgamma promotes spliceosome assembly. We show that PP2Cgamma's distinctive acidic domain is essential for its activity in splicing and interacts with YB-1, a spliceosome-associated factor. Moreover, PP2Cgamma is a phosphoprotein in vivo, and its acidic domain is phosphorylated under splicing conditions in vitro. PP2Cgamma phosphorylation enhances its interaction with YB-1 and is reversed by the phosphatase in cis. PP2Cgamma knockdown leaves constitutive splicing unaffected but inhibits cell proliferation and affects alternative splicing of CD44, a YB-1 target. This effect on splicing regulation is mediated by PP2Cgamma's acidic domain, which is essential to promote inclusion of CD44 exons v4 and v5 in vivo. We propose that PP2Cgamma modulates alternative splicing of specific pre-mRNAs coregulated by YB-1.  相似文献

Reversible protein phosphorylation is critically important in the modulation of a wide variety of cellular functions. Several families of protein phosphatases remove phosphate groups placed on key cellular proteins by protein kinases. The complete genomic sequence of the model plant Arabidopsis permits a comprehensive survey of the phosphatases encoded by this organism. Several errors in the sequencing project gene models were found via analysis of predicted phosphatase coding sequences. Structural sequence probes from aligned and unaligned sequence models, and all-against-all BLAST searches, were used to identify 112 phosphatase catalytic subunit sequences, distributed among the serine (Ser)/threonine (Thr) phosphatases (STs) of the protein phosphatase P (PPP) family, STs of the protein phosphatase M (PPM) family (protein phosphatases 2C [PP2Cs] subfamily), protein tyrosine (Tyr) phosphatases (PTPs), low-M(r) protein Tyr phosphatases, and dual-specificity (Tyr and Ser/Thr) phosphatases (DSPs). The Arabidopsis genome contains an abundance of PP2Cs (69) and a dearth of PTPs (one). Eight sequences were identified as new protein phosphatase candidates: five dual-specificity phosphatases and three PP2Cs. We used phylogenetic analyses to infer clustering patterns reflecting sequence similarity and evolutionary ancestry. These clusters, particularly for the largely unexplored PP2C set, will be a rich source of material for plant biologists, allowing the systematic sampling of protein function by genetic and biochemical means.  相似文献

CD45 is the major protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor on T cell surfaces that functions as both a positive and a negative regulator of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. Although CD45 is required for the activation of TCR-associated Src family kinases, it also dephosphorylates phosphoproteins involved in the TCR-signaling cascade. This study links CD45 to the inhibitory activity of placental protein 14 (PP14), a major soluble protein of pregnancy that is now known to be a direct modulator of T cells and to function by desensitizing TCR signaling. PP14 and CD45 co-capped with each other, pointing to a physical linkage between the two. Interestingly, however, the binding of PP14 to T cell surfaces was not restricted to CD45 alone, with evidence showing that PP14 binds to other surface molecules in a carbohydrate-dependent fashion. Notwithstanding the broader molecular binding potential of PP14, its interaction with CD45 appeared to have special functional significance. Using transfected derivatives of the HPB.ALL mutant T cell line that differ in CD45 expression, we established that the inhibitory effects of PP14 are dependent upon the expression of intact CD45 on T cell surfaces. Based upon these findings, we propose a new immunoregulatory model for PP14, wherein one of its surface molecular targets, CD45, mediates its T cell inhibitory activity, accounting for the intriguing capacity of PP14 to elevate TCR activation thresholds and thereby down-regulate T cell activation.  相似文献

In adipocytes, protein kinase B (PKB) has been suggested to be the enzyme that phosphorylates phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B), a key enzyme in insulin's antilipolytic signalling pathway. In order to screen for PKB phosphatases, adipocyte homogenates were fractionated using ion-exchange chromatography and analysed for PKB phosphatase activities. PKB phosphatase activity eluted as one main peak, which coeluted with serine/threonine phosphatases (PP)2A. In addition, adipocytes were incubated with inhibitors of PP. Incubation of adipocytes with 1 μM okadaic acid inhibited PP2A by 75% and PP1 activity by only 17%, while 1 μM tautomycin inhibited PP1 activity by 54% and PP2A by only 7%. Okadaic acid, but not tautomycin, induced the activation of both PKBα and PKBβ. Finally, PP2A subunits were found in several subcellular compartments, including plasma membranes (PM) where the phosphorylation of PKB is thought to occur. In summary, our results suggest that PP2A is the principal phosphatase that dephosphorylates PKB in adipocytes.  相似文献

The regulation of protein phosphorylation requires coordinated interaction between protein kinases and protein phosphatases (PPs). Recent evidence has shown that the Galphaq-protein-coupled metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) 5 up-regulates phosphorylation of MAPK/ERK1/2. However, signaling mechanisms linking mGluR5 to ERK are poorly understood. In this study, roles of a major serine/threonine PP, PP2A, in this event were evaluated in cultured neurons. We found that the PP1/2A inhibitors okadaic acid and calyculin A mimicked the effect of the mGluR5 agonists (RS)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine and (RS)-2-chloro-5-hydroxyphenylglycine in facilitating phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and its upstream kinase, MEK1/2, in a PP2A-dependent but not PP1-dependent manner. Co-administration of either inhibitor with an mGluR5 agonist produced additive phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Enzymatic assays showed a basal level of phosphatase activity of PP2A under normal conditions, and activation of mGluR5 selectively inhibited PP2A, but not PP1, activity. In addition, a physical association of the cytoplasmic C terminus of mGluR5 with PP2A was observed, and ligand activation of mGluR5 reduced mGluR5-PP2A binding. Additional mechanistic studies revealed that mGluR5 activation increased tyrosine (Tyr307) phosphorylation of PP2A, which was dependent on activation of a p60c-Src family tyrosine kinase, but not the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase and resulted in dissociation of PP2A from mGluR5 and reduced PP2A activity. Together, we have identified a novel, mGluR5-triggered signaling mechanism involving use- and Src-dependent inactivation of PP2A, which contributes to mGluR5 activation of MEK1/2 and ERK1/2.  相似文献

This study was undertaken to characterise the protein phosphatases in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells acting on tyrosine hydroxylase. Cells were pre-labelled with 32Pi and permeabilized with digitonin. The extent of dephosphorylation of Ser-8, Ser-19, Ser-31 and Ser-40 on tyrosine hydroxylase was found to be 30%, 38%, 37% and 71% respectively over 5 min. For Ser-19, Ser-31 and Ser-40 the dephosphorylation was entirely due to protein phosphatase 2A, as the dephosphorylation could be completely blocked by microcystin, but not by the protein phosphatase 1 inhibitory peptide. Permeabilization did not change the distribution of protein phosphatase 2A or tyrosine hydroxylase, or the activity of PP2A, from that occurring in intact cells. The dephosphorylation of Ser-8 was not altered by any inhibitor, suggesting the involvement of other protein phosphatases. The method developed here can be used to determine the protein phosphatases acting on substrates in conditions closely approximating those in situ, including the endogenous state of substrate phosphorylation and phosphatase location.  相似文献
