Previous purification and characterization of the yeast vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (H(+)-ATPase) have indicated that it is a multisubunit complex consisting of both integral and peripheral membrane subunits (Uchida, E., Ohsumi, Y., and Anraku, Y. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 1090-1095; Kane, P. M., Yamashiro, C. T., and Stevens, T. H. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 19236-19244). We have obtained monoclonal antibodies recognizing the 42- and 100-kDa polypeptides that were co-purified with vacuolar ATPase activity. Using these antibodies we provide further evidence that the 42-kDa polypeptide, a peripheral membrane protein, and the 100-kDa polypeptide, an integral membrane protein, are genuine subunits of the yeast vacuolar H(+)-ATPase. The synthesis, assembly, and targeting of three of the peripheral subunits (the 69-, 60-, and 42-kDa subunits) and two of the integral membrane subunits (the 100- and 17-kDa subunits) were examined in mutant yeast cells containing chromosomal deletions in the TFP1, VAT2, or VMA3 genes, which encode the 69-, 60-, and 17-kDa subunits, respectively. The steady-state levels of the various subunits in whole cell lysates and purified vacuolar membranes were assessed by Western blotting, and the intracellular localization of the 60- and 100-kDa subunits was also examined by immunofluorescence microscopy. The results suggest that the assembly and/or the vacuolar targeting of the peripheral subunits of the yeast vacuolar H(+)-ATPase depend on the presence of all three of the 69-, 60-, and 17-kDa subunits. The 100-kDa subunit can be transported to the vacuole independently of the peripheral membrane subunits as long as the 17-kDa subunit is present; but in the absence of the 17-kDa subunit, the 100-kDa subunit appears to be both unstable and incompetent for transport to the vacuole. 相似文献

Yeast vacuolar acidification-defective (vph) mutants were identified using the pH-sensitive fluorescence of 6-carboxyfluorescein diacetate (Preston, R. A., Murphy, R. F., and Jones, E. W. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 7027-7031). Vacuoles purified from yeast bearing the vph1-1 mutation had no detectable bafilomycin-sensitive ATPase activity or ATP-dependent proton pumping. The peripherally bound nucleotide-binding subunits of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (60 and 69 kDa) were no longer associated with vacuolar membranes yet were present in wild type levels in yeast whole cell extracts. The VPH1 gene was cloned by complementation of the vph1-1 mutation and independently cloned by screening a lambda gt11 expression library with antibodies directed against a 95-kDa vacuolar integral membrane protein. Deletion disruption of the VPH1 gene revealed that the VPH1 gene is not essential for viability but is required for vacuolar H(+)-ATPase assembly and vacuolar acidification. VPH1 encodes a predicted polypeptide of 840 amino acid residues (molecular mass 95.6 kDa) and contains six putative membrane-spanning regions. Cell fractionation and immunodetection demonstrate that Vph1p is a vacuolar integral membrane protein that co-purifies with vacuolar H(+)-ATPase activity. Multiple sequence alignments show extensive homology over the entire lengths of the following four polypeptides: Vph1p, the 116-kDa polypeptide of the rat clathrin-coated vesicles/synaptic vesicle proton pump, the predicted polypeptide encoded by the yeast gene STV1 (Similar To VPH1, identified as an open reading frame next to the BUB2 gene), and the TJ6 mouse immune suppressor factor. 相似文献

A novel pathway of import of alpha-mannosidase, a marker enzyme of vacuolar membrane, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
We have investigated the vacuolar delivery of alpha-mannosidase, a marker enzyme of the vacuolar membrane in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and found that the enzyme has several unique characteristics in its biosynthesis and vacuolar delivery. alpha-Mannosidase has no typical signal sequence (Yoshihisa, T., and Anraku, Y. (1989) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 163, 908-915) but is located on the inner surface of the vacuolar membrane. The enzyme is synthesized as a 107-kDa polypeptide and converted to a 73-kDa polypeptide. Although the conversion depends on a vacuolar processing protease, proteinase A, it is much slower (t1/2 = 10 h) than the proteinase A-dependent processing of other vacuolar proteins. None of Asn-X-Thr/Ser sites on the 107-kDa alpha-mannosidase or on two alpha-mannosidase-invertase fusion proteins that are localized inside the vacuole receives N-linked oligosaccharide, whereas those sites on a carboxypeptidase Y-alpha-mannosidase fusion protein are N-glycosylated. The newly synthesized alpha-mannosidase is normally delivered to the vacuole and converted to the 73-kDa polypeptide even when the secretory pathway is blocked by a subset of sec mutations. These characteristics are different from those of other vacuolar proteins targeted to the vacuole via the secretory pathway. We conclude that alpha-mannosidase is delivered to the vacuole in a novel pathway separate from the secretory pathway. 相似文献

Biochemical characterization of the yeast vacuolar H(+)-ATPase 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
The yeast vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase was isolated by two different methods. A previously reported purification of the enzyme (Uchida, E., Ohsumi, Y., and Anraku, Y. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 1090-1095) was repeated. This procedure consisted of isolation of vacuoles, solubilization with the zwitterionic detergent ZW3-14, and glycerol gradient centrifugation of the solubilized vacuoles. The fraction with the highest specific activity (11 mumol of ATP hydrolyzed mg-1 min-1) included eight polypeptides of apparent molecular masses of 100, 69, 60, 42, 36, 32, 27, and 17 kDa, suggesting that the enzyme may be more complex than the three-subunit composition proposed from the original purification. The 69-kDa polypeptide was recognized by antisera against the catalytic subunits of two other vacuolar ATPases and labeled with the ATP analog 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, indicating that it contains all or part of the catalytic site. A monoclonal antibody was prepared against this subunit. Under nondenaturing conditions, the antibody immunoprecipitated eight polypeptides, of the same molecular masses as those seen in the glycerol gradient fraction, from solubilized vacuolar vesicles. All eight of these polypeptides are therefore good candidates for being genuine subunits of the enzyme. The structure and function of the yeast vacuolar H+-ATPase were further characterized by examining the inhibition of ATPase activity by KNO3. In the presence of 5 mM MgATP, 100 mM KNO3 inhibited 71% of the ATPase activity of vacuolar vesicles, and the 69- and 60-kDa subunits (and possibly the 42-kDa subunit) were removed from the vacuolar membrane to a similar extent. At concentrations of less than 200 mM KNO3, the stripping of the ATPase subunits and the inhibition of ATPase activity were dependent on the presence of MgATP, suggesting that this is a conformation-specific disassembly of the enzyme. The yeast vacuolar H+-ATPase is a multisubunit enzyme, consisting of a combination of peripheral and integral membrane subunits. Its structure and subunit composition are very similar to other vacuolar ATPase, and it shares some characteristics with the F1F0-ATPases. 相似文献

Erythrocyte Mr 28,000 transmembrane protein exists as a multisubunit oligomer similar to channel proteins 总被引:33,自引:0,他引:33
A novel Mr 28,000 erythrocyte transmembrane protein was recently purified and found to exist in two forms, "28kDa" and "gly28kDa," the latter containing N-linked carbohydrate (Denker, B. M., Smith, B. L., Kuhajda, F. P., and Agre, P. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 15634-15642). Although 28kDa protein resembles the Rh polypeptides biochemically, structural homologies were not identified by immunoblot or two-dimensional iodopeptide maps. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence for the first 35 residues of purified 28kDa protein is 37% identical to the 26-kDa major intrinsic protein of lens (Gorin, M. B., Yancey, S. B., Cline, J., Revel, J.-P., and Horwitz, J. Cell 39, 49-59). Antisera to a synthetic peptide corresponding to the NH2-terminus of 28kDa protein gave a single reaction of molecular mass 28kDa on immunoblots of erythrocyte membranes. Selective digestions of intact erythrocytes and inside-out membrane vesicles with carboxypeptidase Y indicated the existence of a 5-kDa COOH-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Multiple studies indicated that 28kDa and gly28kDa proteins exist together as a multisubunit oligomer: 1) similar partial solubilizations in Triton X-100; 2) co-purification during ion exchange and lectin affinity chromatography; 3) cross-linking in low concentrations of glutaraldehyde; and 4) physical analyses of purified proteins and solubilized membranes in 1% (v/v) Triton X-100 showed 28kDa and gly28kDa proteins behave as a large single unit with Stokes radius of 61 A and sedimentation coefficient of 5.7 S. These studies indicate that the 28kDa and gly28kDa proteins are distinct from the Rh polypeptides and exist as a multisubunit oligomer. The 28kDa protein has NH2-terminal amino acid sequence homology and membrane organization similar to major intrinsic protein and other members of a newly recognized family of transmembrane channel proteins. 相似文献

Yeast cells secrete a variety of glycosylated proteins. At least two of these proteins, invertase and acid phosphatase, fail to be secreted in a new class of mutants that are temperature-sensitive for growth. Unlike the yeast secretory mutants previously described (class A sec mutants; Novick, P., C. Field, and R. Schekman, 1980, Cell., 21:205-420), class B sec mutants (sec 53, sec 59) fail to produce active secretory enzymes at the restrictive temperature (37 degrees C). sec 53 and sec 59 appear to be defective in reactions associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. Although protein synthesis continues at a nearly normal rate for 2 h at 37 degrees C, incorporation of [3H]mannose into glycoprotein is reduced. Immunoreactive polypeptide forms of invertase accumulate within the cell which have mobilities on SDS PAGE consistent with incomplete glycosylation: sec 53 produces little or no glycosylated invertase, and sec 59 accumulates forms containing 0-3 of the 9-10 N-linked oligosaccharide chains that are normally added to the protein. In addition to secreted enzymes, maturation of the vacuolar glycoprotein carboxypeptidase Y, incorporation of the plasma membrane sulfate permease activity, and secretion of the major cell wall proteins are blocked at 37 degrees C. 相似文献

A juvenile-hormone-binding protein (juvenile-hormone carrier), isolated from Galleria mellonella haemolymph, was treated with trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase A and subtilisin. Among these enzymes, only subtilisin was able to affect juvenile-hormone-binding activity of this protein. With SDS/PAGE it was shown that juvenile-hormone-binding protein, a 32-kDa peptide, is first slowly converted into a 30-kDa molecule, then into two or three smaller-molecular-mass species (20-25 kDa), which in turn were further digested to small peptides undetectable in PAGE. The 30-kDa peptide has a 2.4-times-higher dissociation constant for juvenile hormone than the native protein. No binding activity was detected for 20-25-kDa peptides. The rate of proteolysis of juvenile-hormone-binding protein was decreased by more than twofold in the presence of hormone, however, the overall cleavage pattern was unchanged. Under non-denaturing conditions, free binding-protein molecules could be separated from juvenile-hormone-binding-protein complex due to a slower electrophoretic mobility of the complex. As judged from ultracentrifugation and cross-linking experiments, binding of the hormone to its haemolymph carrier does not induce formation of oligomers, but shifts the sedimentation coefficient from 2.30S to 2.71S. It is concluded that juvenile-hormone binding induces a conformational transition of its carrier protein. This hormone-induced change might have a physiological significance for signal transmission. 相似文献

Schizosaccharomyces pombe carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) is synthesized as a zymogen and transported into the vacuole where maturation and activation occurs.
The 110-kDa S. pombe CPY precursor is processed twice and finally converted to a mature form consisting of polypeptides of approximately 19 and
32 kDa linked by a single disulfide bond. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, maturation of CPY occurs mostly through the activity of vacuolar aspartyl protease Pep4p, whereas a Pep4p homolog has not
been found in the S. pombe genome database. Based on analysis of protease-deficient mutants, we found that S. pombe CPY was not able to be processed or activated in isp6Δpsp3Δ double disruptants. Both Isp6p and Psp3p are subtilase-type serine proteases with related sequences. Moreover, alkaline
phosphatase of S. pombe was found to be localized at the vacuolar membrane and was also unprocessed in isp6Δpsp3Δ double disruptants. Vacuolar localization of GFP-fused Isp6p and Psp3p was determined by fluorescence microscopy. These
results suggest that the two serine proteases Isp6p and Psp3p are functional in the vacuole and are involved in proteolytic
processing of vacuolar proteins. 相似文献

PCR was used to isolate a carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) homolog gene from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The cloned S. pombe cpy1+ gene has a single open reading frame, which encodes 950 amino acids with one potential N-glycosylation site. It appears to be synthesized as an inactive pre-pro protein that likely undergoes processing following translocation into appropriate intracellular organelles. The C-terminal mature region is highly conserved in other serine carboxypeptidases. In contrast, the N-terminal pro region containing the vacuolar sorting signal in CPY from Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows fewer identical residues. The pro region contains two unusual repeating sequences; repeating sequence I consists of seven contiguous repeating segments of 13 amino acids each, and repeating sequence II consists of seven contiguous repeating segments of 9 amino acids each. Pulse-chase radiolabeling analysis revealed that Cpy1p was initially synthesized in a 110-kDa pro-precursor form and via the 51-kDa single-polypeptide-chain intermediate form which has had its pro segment removed is finally converted to a heterodimer, the mature form, which is detected as a 32-kDa protein on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions. Like S. cerevisiae CPY, S. pombe Cpy1p does not require the N-linked oligosaccharide moiety for vacuolar delivery. To investigate the vacuolar sorting signal of S. pombe Cpy1p, we have constructed cpy1+-SUC2 gene fusions that direct the synthesis of hybrid proteins consisting of N-terminal segments of various lengths of S. pombe Cpy1p fused to the secreted enzyme S. cerevisiae invertase. The N-terminal 478 amino acids of Cpy1 are sufficient to direct delivery of a Cpy1-Inv hybrid protein to the vacuole. These results showed that the pro peptide of Cpy1 contains the putative vacuolar sorting signal. 相似文献

High purity preparations of higher plant vacuolar H+-ATPase reveal additional subunits. Revised subunit composition 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
A fast protein liquid chromatography procedure for purification of the V-type H+-ATPase from higher plant vacuolar membrane to yield near-homogeneous enzyme with a specific activity of 20-25 mumol/mg.min is described. When precautions are taken to ensure the quantitative recovery of protein before sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the preparation is found to be constituted of seven major polypeptides of 100, 67, 55, 52, 44, 32, and 16 kDa, respectively, and two minor components of 42 and 29 kDa. The 52-, 44-, and 32-kDa polypeptides do not cross-react with antisera raised to the 67- and 55-kDa subunits of the enzyme, and two independent sample preparation procedures yield the same apparent subunit composition. The additional polypeptides are not breakdown products or aggregates of the previously identified subunits of the ATPase. The ATPase of tonoplast vesicles is subject to MgATP-dependent cold inactivation, and the conditions for inactivation are identical to those for the bovine chromaffin granule H+-ATPase (Moriyama, Y., and Nelson, N. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 3577-3582). Cold inactivation is accompanied by the detachment of five major polypeptides of 67, 55, 52, 44, and 32 kDa from the membrane, and all five components co-migrate with the corresponding polypeptides of the purified ATPase upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 100- and 16-kDa polypeptides of the ATPase are not removed from the membrane during cold inactivation, but the latter can be purified to homogeneity by chloroform:methanol extraction of the fast protein liquid chromatography-purified enzyme. It is concluded that the tonoplast H+-ATPase is constituted of 6-7 major polypeptides organized into a peripheral sector comprising the 67-, 55-, 52-, 44-, and 32-kDa components and an integral sector consisting of the 100- and 16-kDa polypeptides. The V-type H+-ATPase from animal endomembranes and higher plant vacuolar membranes therefore have remarkably similar subunit compositions and gross topographies. 相似文献

Carboxypeptidase H. A regulatory peptide-processing enzyme produced by human hepatoma Hep G2 cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
B G Grimwood T H Plummer A L Tarentino 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1989,264(26):15662-15667
Human hepatoma (Hep G2) cells have been shown to secrete nanogram quantities of carboxypeptidase N (Grimwood, B. G., Plummer, T. H., Jr., and Tarentino, A. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 14397-14401). A second carboxypeptidase with an acidic pH optimum (pH 5.5) is also secreted at levels 2-3-fold greater than carboxypeptidase N. This enzyme was partially purified from the conditioned medium and compared with pure bovine pituitary carboxypeptidase H. The two enzymes behaved in a similar fashion in DE52 ion-exchange chromatography and on gel filtration, with the Hep G2 enzyme being slightly larger than the bovine pituitary enzyme (52-54 versus 50-52 kDa). Both enzymes hydrolyzed COOH-terminal basic amino acids from typical synthetic substrates as well as from natural leuenkephalin peptides and were identical based on pH activity profiles, inhibition by EDTA or guanidinoethyl mercaptosuccinic acid, and stimulation by Co2+ ions. Inhibition of enzyme secretion from Hep G2 cells by tunicamycin indicated that the Hep G2 enzyme was glycosylated. This finding was confirmed by a parallel deglycosylation of the Hep G2 and bovine pituitary carboxypeptidase H enzymes with peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F. Immunoblots using mouse antiserum to bovine pituitary carboxypeptidase H revealed that the Hep G2 enzyme was immunocross-reactive with the bovine enzyme but was slightly larger in size (54 versus 52 kDa). Continuous [35S]methionine labeling and purification to near homogeneity using an affinity matrix corroborated the observations that the secreted Hep G2 carboxypeptidase H was slightly larger than bovine pituitary carboxypeptidase H. The Hep G2-secreted enzyme in pulse-chase experiments was initially detected intracellularly after a 15-min pulse as a single protein of about 54 kDa and was present in the 30-min chase medium with no evidence for pre- or postsecretion proteolytic processing. The human adrenergic cell line IMR-32 continuously labeled with [35S]methionine also secreted carboxypeptidase H of the same size as the Hep G2 enzyme. 相似文献

We have studied the structure, biosynthesis, intracellular routing, and vacuolar localization of carboxypeptidase ysCS in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed two forms of carboxypeptidase yscS with different electrophoretic mobility. Antibodies specific for carboxypeptidase yscS recognized two glycoproteins of 77- and 74-kDa apparent molecular mass which differ by one N-linked carbohydrate residue. Both observations suggest that carboxypeptidase yscS exists in two catalytically active forms. The enzyme was found to be synthesized as two active high molecular mass precursor forms which are converted to the mature forms with a half-time of 20 min. The mature forms of carboxypeptidase yscS appeared soluble in the vacuolar lumen, while the precursor proteins accumulated tightly associated with the vacuolar membrane. The single hydrophobic domain present at the N terminus is believed to be responsible for the membrane association of the precursor molecules. Double mutants defective in proteinase yscA and proteinase yscB synthesize solely the carboxypeptidase yscS precursor forms. Correct proteolytic cleavage of the precursor forms was performed using purified proteinase yscB in vitro. Sec61, sec18, and sec7 mutants, conditionally defective in the secretory pathway, accumulate carboxypeptidase yscS precursor protein. Thus the carboxypeptidase yscS precursor molecules are delivered to the vacuole in a membrane bound form via the secretory pathway. After assembly into the vacuolar membrane, proteinase yscB presumably cleaves the precursor molecules to release soluble carboxypeptidase yscS forms into the lumen of the vacuole. The proposed mechanism is different from the delivery mechanism found for the other soluble vacuolar hydrolases in yeast. 相似文献

Two site-specific antibodies have been prepared by immunizing rabbits with chemically synthesized peptides derived from the partial cDNA-predicted amino acid sequence of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1), which has been proposed to encode the microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) kinase (Boulton, T. G., Yancopoulos, G. D., Gregory, J. S., Slauer, C., Moomaw, C., Hsu, J., and Cobb, M. H. (1990) Science 249, 64-67). With immunoprecipitation in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Western blotting, an antibody to the peptide containing triple tyrosine residues (alpha Y91) resembling one of the insulin receptor autophosphorylation sites specifically recognized 42- and 44-kDa proteins. On the other hand, an antibody to the peptide corresponding to the COOH terminus portions (alpha C92) of the ERK1 cDNA gene product recognized the 44-kDa protein much more efficiently than the 42-kDa protein. With immunoprecipitation in the absence of SDS, alpha Y91 could barely recognize these two proteins and alpha C92 recognized the 44-kDa protein but failed to recognize the 42-kDa protein. Kinase assays in myelin basic protein (MBP)-containing gel, after SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, revealed that insulin or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-stimulated MBP kinase activity in alpha Y91 immunoprecipitates comigrated at molecular mass 42 and 44 kDa. On the other hand, the stimulated MBP kinase activity in alpha C92 immunoprecipitates comigrated only at molecular mass 44 kDa. Insulin stimulated the MBP kinase activity in gels and phosphorylation of these two proteins by greater than 10-fold with a maximal level at 5 min. Insulin and TPA rapidly stimulate the phosphorylation of the 42- and 44-kDa proteins via de novo threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation. Tryptic phosphopeptide mapping analysis of the 42- and 44-kDa proteins, respectively, revealed a single major phosphopeptide containing phosphothreonine and phosphotyrosine, which was common to both insulin- and TPA-stimulated phosphoproteins. Protein phosphatase 2A treatment of these two phosphoproteins caused a complete loss of kinase activity with selective dephosphorylation of phosphothreonine. These data strongly suggest that these two proteins are highly related to the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase with an apparent molecular mass of 42 kDa (Ray, L. B., and Sturgill, T. W. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85, 3753-3757) and that these two immunologically similar but distinct MBP/MAP2 kinases may represent isozymic forms of MBP/MAP2 kinases. These data also demonstrate that insulin and TPA activate MBP/MAP2 kinase activity by de novo phosphorylation of threonine and tyrosine residues via a very similar pathway. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of osmosensitive vacuolar mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The yeast vacuole plays an important role in nitrogen metabolism, storage and intracellular macromolecular degradation. Evidence suggests that it is also involved in osmohomeostasis of the cell. We have taken a mutational approach for the analysis of vacuolar function and biogenesis by the isolation of 97 mutants unable to grow if high concentrations of salt are present in the medium. Phenotypic analysis was able to demonstrate that apart from osmosensitivity the mutations also conferred other properties such as altered vacuolar morphology and secretion of the vacuolar enzymes carboxypeptidase Y, proteinase A, proteinase B and alpha-mannosidase. The mutants fall into at least 17 complementation groups, termed ssv for salt-sensitive vacuolar mutants, of which two are identical to complementation groups isolated by others. We conclude that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae correct vacuolar biogenesis and protein targeting is required for osmotolerance as well as other important cellular processes. 相似文献

A novel approach to isolation and functional characterization of the Hansenula polymorpha genes basing on the use of two strains of different origin is described. One of these strains is better suited for the isolation of genomic DNA fragments, while the other is preferable for their functional analysis. Thirty three genomic sequences governing expression of a reporter protein have been isolated. Analysis of the sequence encoding a homolog of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cofilin revealed two introns. Another isolated DNA fragment encoded a homolog of the S. cerevisiae V ps10p. Disruption of the corresponding gene resulted in secretion of a vacuolar protein, carboxypeptidase Y, into the culture medium. 相似文献

Cultured chick embryo skin fibroblasts release a major component with a native molecular mass of about 1 MDa, which resolves into three polypeptide bands of about 300, 350 and 600 kDa upon reduction. We report here the purification of this oligomeric protein and show, by means of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, that its three polypeptide constituents are closely related. The 600-kDa polypeptide is likely to be a dimer of two smaller subunits which are cross-linked by non-reducible bonds. By electron microscopy, isolated oligomeric molecules exhibit a novel cruciform structure with a large central globular domain. One arm has the shape of a thin rod about 70 nm in length. The three other arms are thicker, longer (90 nm) and flexible, and carry a prominent double globule at their distal ends. Collagenase treatment of the oligomeric fibroblast protein yields two resistant fragments of about 270 kDa and 320 kDa. The intact 350-kDa and 600-kDa (but not the 300-kDa) polypeptides are chondroitinase sensitive and labeled by metabolic incorporation of [35S]sulfate; collagenase treatment does not remove any [35S] sulfate. Hence, the intact fibroblast protein has glycosaminoglycan chains attached to its non-collagenous domain. Three amino acid sequences obtained from chymotryptic fragments of the fibroblast protein correspond to sequences predicted for chick type-XII collagen from its full-length cDNA [Yamagata, M., Yamada, K. M., Yamada, S. S., Shinomura, T., Tanaka, H., Nishida, Y., Obara, M. & Kimata, K. (1991) J. Cell Biol. 115, 209-221]. However, the novel fibroblast protein described here differs significantly from previously isolated forms of type-XII collagen: its subunits are larger by one third, and it is a proteoglycan. 相似文献

To investigate the biogenesis of the yeast vacuole, we have sought novel marker proteins localized to the vacuolar membrane. Glycoproteins were prepared from vacuolar membrane vesicles by concanavalin A-Sepharose column chromatography and used to raise monoclonal antibodies. The antibodies obtained recognize several vacuolar proteins that have N-linked oligosaccharide chains. A set of the antibodies reacts with a vacuolar glycoprotein with a major molecular species of 72 kDa (vgp72), which appears to associate peripherally with the vacuolar membrane. The biosynthesis of vgp72 has been examined in detail by pulse-chase experiments and by analyses using various secretory mutants (sec18, sec7, and sec1) and a vacuolar protease mutant (pep4). vgp72 first appears in the endoplasmic reticulum as a 74-kDa species and is quickly modified in the Golgi apparatus to two distinct species: a 79-kDa form, and a heterogeneously glycosylated form (90-150 kDa). Subsequently, both species are proteolytically processed in the vacuole giving rise to a 72-kDa species as well as heavily glycosylated form. Thus, the biogenesis of vgp72 utilizes the early part of the secretory pathway as is the case of vacuolar soluble enzymes. A unique feature is that two species that are different in the extent of glycosylation appear to follow the same destination to the vacuolar membrane. 相似文献

The cDNA sequence of the 69-kDa subunit of the carrot vacuolar H+-ATPase. Homology to the beta-chain of F0F1-ATPases 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Vacuolar ATPases constitute a novel class of N-ethylmaleimide- and nitrate-sensitive proton pumps associated with the endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells. They resemble F0F1-ATPases in that they are large multimeric proteins, 400-500 kDa, composed of three to nine different subunits. Previous studies have indicated that the active site is located on the approximately 70-kDa subunit. Using antibodies to the approximately 70-kDa subunit of corn to screen a carrot root lambda gt11 cDNA library, we have isolated cDNA clones of the carrot 69-kDa subunit. The complete primary structure of the 69-kDa subunit was then determined from the nucleotide sequence of its cDNA. The 69-kDa subunit consists of 623 amino acids (Mr 68,835), with no obvious membrane-spanning regions. The carrot cDNA sequence was over 70% homologous with exons of a Neurospora 69-kDa genomic clone. The protein sequence of the carrot 69-kDa subunit also exhibited 34.3% identity to four representative F0F1-ATPase beta-chains over a 275-amino-acid core stretch of similar sequence. Alignment studies revealed several regions which were highly homologous to beta-chains, including sequences previously implicated in catalytic function. This provides definitive evidence that the vacuolar ATPase is closely related to the F0F1-type ATPases. A major functional difference between the 69-kDa and beta-subunits is the location of 3 critical cysteine residues: two in the putative catalytic region (Cys-248 and Cys-256) and one in the proposed Mg2+-binding site (Cys-279). These cysteines (and two others) probably account for the sensitivity of the vacuolar H+-ATPase to the sulfhydryl reagent, N-ethylmaleimide. It is proposed that the two ATPases may have arisen from a common ancestor by the insertion or deletion of a large stretch of nonhomologous sequence near the amino-terminal end of the subunit. 相似文献

Subunit composition of vacuolar membrane H(+)-ATPase from mung bean 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase from mung bean hypocotyls was solubilized from the membrane with lysophosphatidycholine and purified by QAE-Toyopearl column chromatography. The purified ATPase was active only in the presence of exogenous phospholipid and was inhibited by nitrate, dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and Triton X-100, but not by vanadate or azide. Dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified ATPase yielded ten polypeptides of molecular masses of 68 kDa, 57 kDa, 44 kDa, 43 kDa, 38 kDa, 37 kDa 32 kDa, 16 kDa, 13 kDa and 12 kDa. All polypeptides remained in the peak activity fraction after glycerol density gradient centrifugation. Nine of them, excluding the 43-kDa polypeptide, comigrated in a polyacrylamide gradient gel in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100. The 16-kDa polypeptide could be labeled with [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The amino-terminal amino acid sequence of the isolated 68-kDa polypeptide generally agreed with that deduced from the cDNA for the carrot 69-kDa subunit [Zimniak, L., Dittrich, P., Gogarten, J. P., Kibak, H. & Taiz, L. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 9102-9112]. Thus, mung bean vacuolar H(+)-ATPase seems to consist of nine distinct subunits. 相似文献

Proteoglycan Lt (PG-Lt), isolated from 17-day-old chicken embryo sterna, appeared to differ from its counterpart from tibia and femur (Noro, A., Kimata, K., Oike, Y., Shinomura, T., Maeda, N., Yano, S., Takahashi, N., and Suzuki, S. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 9323-9331). The intact disulfide-bonded molecule of approximately 300 kDa was separable into three chains of 115, 84, and 68 kDa on reduction, the molecular masses being relative to those of collagen standards on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). This is in contrast to tibial cartilage PG-Lt, from which there was no observed release of a 68-kDa chain (100 kDa relative to globular protein standards) after reduction. The 115-kDa chain of sternum PG-Lt consists of a core 68-kDa polypeptide to which the chondroitin sulfate chains are attached. The ratio of 4-sulfated to 6-sulfated disaccharides released after either chondroitinase ABC or AC digestion is 3:1. Identity of PG-Lt with type IX collagen was indicated by their similar elution profiles on DEAE-Trisacryl and by the presence in both proteins of co-migrating 84- and 68-kDa bands on SDS-PAGE. This identity was confirmed by immunoblotting PG-Lt after SDS-PAGE, with affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies specific for a triple helical domain (HMW) of type IX collagen. The nonreduced high molecular mass material and all three bands of the reduced PG-Lt were immunoreactive, giving immunostaining patterns similar to autoradiographs from the [14C]glycine-labeled protein. 相似文献
