The activities and kinetics of the enzymes G6PDH (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) and 6PGDH (6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) from the mesophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6307 and the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6716 are studied in relation to temperature. In Synechococcus 6307 the apparent K
m's are for G6PDH: 80M (substrate) and 20M (NADP+); for 6PGDH: 90M (substrate) and 25M (NADP+). In Synechococcus 6716 the apparent K
m's are for G6PDH: 550M (substrate) and 30M (NADP+); for 6PGDH: 40M (substrate) and 10M (NADP+). None of the K
m's is influenced by the growth temperature and only the K
m's of G6PDH for G6P are influenced by the assay temperature in both organisms. The idea that, in general, thermophilic enzymes possess a lower affinity for their substrates and co-enzymes than mesophilic enzymes is challenged.Although ATP, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, NADPH and pH can all influence the activities of G6PDH and 6PGDH to a certain extent (without any difference between the mesophilic and the thermophilic strain), they cannot be responsible for the total deactivation of the enzyme activities observed in the light, thus blocking the pentose phosphate pathway.Abbreviations G6PDH

Two anodic isoenzymes of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) were isolated from tobacco suspension culture WR-132, utilizing fractional ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The pH optimum was 9.0 for isoenzyme G6PDH I and 8.0–8.3 for G6PDH IV. Isoenzyme G6PDH I exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics for both substrates, G6P and NADP+, with Km's of 0.22 mM and 0.06 mM, respectively. G6PDH IV exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics for G6P with a Km of 0.31 mM. The NADP+ double reciprocal plot showed an abrupt transition between two linear sections. This transition corresponds to an abrupt increase in the apparent Km and Vmax values with increasing NADP+, denoting negative cooperativity. The two Km's for high and low NADP+ concentrations were 0.06 mM and 0.015 mM, respectively. MWs of the isoenzymes as determined by SDS disc gel electrophoresis were 85 000–91 000 for G6PDH I and 54 000–59 000 for G6PDH IV. Gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-150 showed MW's of 91 000 for G6PDH I and 115 000 for G6PDH IV. A probable dimeric structure for IV is suggested, with two NADP+ binding sites. 相似文献

In general, eukaryotic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases (G6PDHs) are structurally stabilized by NADP+. Here we show by spectrofluorometric analysis, thermal and urea denaturation, and trypsin proteolysis, that a different mechanism stabilizes the enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PaG6PDH) (EC 1.1.1.363). The spectrofluorometric analysis of the emission of 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) indicates that this stabilization is the result of a structural change in the enzyme caused by G6P. The similarity between the Kd values determined for the PaG6PDH-G6P complex (78.0 ± 7.9 μM) and the K0.5 values determined for G6P (57.9 ± 2.5 and 104.5 ± 9.3 μM in the NADP+- and NAD+-dependent reactions, respectively) suggests that the structural changes are the result of G6P binding to the active site of PaG6PDH. Modeling of PaG6PDH indicated the residues that potentially bind the ligand. These results and a phylogenetic analysis of the amino acid sequences of forty-four G6PDHs, suggest that the stabilization observed for PaG6PDH could be a characteristic that distinguishes this and other G6PDHs that use NAD+ and NADP+ from those that use NADP+ only or preferentially, such as those found in eukaryotes. This characteristic could be related to the metabolic roles these enzymes play in the organisms to which they belong. 相似文献

Glutathione reductase [GR, E.C.1.8.1.7] catalyses NADPH dependent reduction of glutathione disulfide (GSSG) to reduced glutathione
(GSH). Thus, it is the crucial enzyme to maintain high [GSH]/[GSSG] ratio and physiological redox status in cells. Kidney
and liver tissues were considered as a rich source of GR. In this study, rat kidney GR was purified and some of its properties
were investigated. The enzyme was purified 2,356 fold with a yield of 16% by using heat-denaturation and Sephadex G25 gel
filtration, 2′,5′-ADP Agarose 4B, PBE94 column chromatographies. The purified enzyme had a specific activity (Vm) of 250 U/mg protein and the ratio of absorbances at wavelengths of A

kidney GR but with a lower efficiency (32.7%) than NADPH. Its subunit molecular weight was estimated as 53 kDa. An optimum
pH of 6.5 and optimum temperature of 65 °C were found for rat kidney GR. Its activation energy (Ea) and temperature coefficient
(Q10) were calculated as 7.02 kcal/mol and 1.42, respectively. The Km(NADPH) and kcat/Km (NADPH) values were found to be 15.3 ± 1.4 μM and 1.68 × 107 M−1 s−1 for the concentration range of 10-200 μM NADPH and when GSSG is the variable substrate, the Km(GSSG) and the kcat/Km(GSSG) values of 53.1 ± 3.4 μM and 4.85 × 106 M−1 s−1 were calculated for the concentration range of 20–1,200 μM GSSG. 相似文献

A monomeric NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase from the multicellular prokaryote Streptomyces avermitilis MA-4680 (SaIDH) was heteroexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the His-tagged enzyme was further purified to homogeneity. The molecular weight of SaIDH was about 80 kDa which is typical for monomeric isocitrate dehydrogenases. Structure-based sequence alignment reveals
that the deduced amino acid sequence of SaIDH shows high sequence identity with known momomeric isocitrate dehydrogenase, and the coenzyme, substrate and metal ion
binding sites are completely conserved. The optimal pH and temperature of SaIDH were found to be pH 9.4 and 45°C, respectively. Heat-inactivation studies showed that heating for 20 min at 50°C caused
a 50% loss in enzymatic activity. In addition, SaIDH was absolutely specific for NADP+ as electron acceptor. Apparent K
m values were 4.98 μM for NADP+ and 6,620 μM for NAD+, respectively, using Mn2+ as divalent cation. The enzyme performed a 33,000-fold greater specificity (k
cat/K
m) for NADP+ than NAD+. Moreover, SaIDH activity was entirely dependent on the presence of Mn2+ or Mg2+, but was strongly inhibited by Ca2+ and Zn2+. Taken together, our findings implicate the recombinant SaIDH is a divalent cation-dependent monomeric isocitrate dehydrogenase which presents a remarkably high cofactor preference
for NADP+. 相似文献

6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PG) was purified from rat small intestine with 36% yield and a specific activity of 15 U/mg.
On SDS/PAGE, one band with a mass of 52 kDa was found. On native PAGE three protein and two activity bands were observed.
The pH optimum was 7.35. Using Arrhenius plots, Ea, ΔH, Q10 and Tm for 6PGD were found to be 7.52 kcal/mol, 6.90 kcal/mol, 1.49 and 49.4°C, respectively. The enzyme obeyed “Rapid Equilibrium
Random Bi Bi” kinetic model with Km values of 595 ± 213 μM for 6PG and 53.03±1.99 μM for NADP. 1/Vm versus 1/6PG and 1/NADP plots gave a Vm value of 8.91±1.92 U/mg protein. NADPH is the competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 31.91±1.31 μM. The relatively small Ki for the 6PGD:NADPH complex indicates the importance of NADPH in the regulation of the pentose phosphate pathway through G6PD
and 6PGD. 相似文献

The malic enzyme-encoding cDNA (GQ372891) from the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi AS 2.1560 was isolated, which has an 1719-bp open reading frame flanked by a 290-bp 5′ untranslated sequence and a 92-bp
3′ untranslated sequence. The proposed gene, LsME1, encoded a protein with 572 amino acid residues. The protein presented 58% sequence identity with the malic enzymes from
Yarrowia lipolytica CLIB122 and Aspergillus fumigatus Af293. The LsME1 gene was cloned into the vector pMAL-p4x to express a fusion protein (MBP-LsME1) in Escherichia coli TB1. The fusion protein was purified and then cleaved by Factor Xa to give the recombinant LsME1. This purified enzyme took
either NAD+ or NADP+ as the coenzyme but preferred NAD+. The K
m values for malic acid, NAD+ and NADP+ were 0.85 ± 0.05 mM, 0.34 ± 0.08 mM, and 7.4 ± 0.32 mM, respectively, at pH 7.3. 相似文献

Human 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1) catalyzes the reaction of estrone with NADPH to form estradiol and
NADP+, thereby regulating the biological activity of sex steroid hormones in a variety of tissues. Here, we present an efficient
method for expressing and purifying human 17β-HSD1 from Escherichia coli. The expression vector pET28a/17β-HSD1 was constructed and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells. We found that the active enzyme can be obtained by inducing 17β-HSD1 expression at 0.25 mM IPTG, 13°C for
overnight. The protein is purified by single step Ni–NTA affinity chromatography and yields 2.8 mg/L of culture. The kinetic
study shows V/E
t
of (1.21 ± 0.05) × 10−2/s and K
estradiol of 0.8 μM in the oxidation of estradiol with NADP+ as cofactor at pH 9.3. The new bacterial expression system for recombinant 17β-HSD1 is useful for the easy purification of
large amounts and will facilitate the functional study of this enzyme. 相似文献

Muscarinic receptor-linked G protein, G
i
, can directely activate the specific K+ channel (I
K(ACh)) in the atrium and in pacemaker tissues in the heart. Coupling of G
i
to the K+ channel in the ventricle has not been well defined. G protein regulation of K+ channels in isolated human ventricular myocytes was examined using the patch-clamp technique. Bath application of 1 μm acetylcholine (ACh) reversibly shortened the action potential duration to 74.4 ± 12.1% of control (at 90% repolarization,
mean ±sd, n= 8) and increased the whole-cell membrane current conductance without prior β-adrenergic stimulation in human ventricular
myocytes. The ACh effect was reversed by atropine (1 μm). In excised inside-out patch configurations, application of GTPγS (100 μm) to the bath solution (internal surface) caused activation of I
K(ACh) and/or the background inwardly-rectifying K+ channel (I
K1) in ventricular cell membranes. I
K(ACh) exhibited rapid gating behavior with a slope conductance of 44 ± 2 pS (n= 25) and a mean open lifetime of 1.8 ± 0.3 msec (n= 21). Single channel activity of GTPγS-activated I
K1 demonstrated long-lasting bursts with a slope conductance of 30 ± 2 pS (n= 16) and a mean open lifetime of 36.4 ± 4.1 msec (n= 12). Unlike I
K(ACh), G protein-activated I
K1 did not require GTP to maintain channel activity, suggesting that these two channels may be controlled by G proteins with
different underlying mechanisms. The concentration of GTP at half-maximal channel activation was 0.22 μm in I
K(ACh) and 1.2 μm in I
K1. Myocytes pretreated with pertussis toxin (PTX) prevented GTP from activating these channels, indicating that muscarinic
receptor-linked PTX-sensitive G protein, G
i
, is essential for activation of both channels. G protein-activated channel characteristics from patients with terminal heart
failure did not differ from those without heart failure or guinea pig. These results suggest that ACh can shorten the action
potential by activating I
K(ACh) and I
K1 via muscarinic receptor-linked G
i
proteins in human ventricular myocytes.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) plays an essential role in glycolysis by catalyzing the conversion of d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (d-G3P) to 1,3-diphosphoglycerate using NAD+ as a cofactor. In this report, the GAPDH gene from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1 (GAPDH-tk) was cloned and the protein was purified to homogeneity. GAPDH-tk exists as a homotetramer with a native molecular
mass of 145 kDa; the subunit molecular mass was 37 kDa. GAPDH-tk is a thermostable protein with a half-life of 5 h at 80–90°C.
The apparent K
m values for NAD+ and d-G3P were 77.8 ± 7.5 μM and 49.3 ± 3.0 μM, respectively, with V
max values of 45.1 ± 0.8 U/mg and 59.6 ± 1.3 U/mg, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and image processing
confirmed that GAPDH-tk has a tetrameric structure. Interestingly, GAPDH-tk migrates as high molecular mass forms (~232 kDa
and ~669 kDa) in response to oxidative stress. 相似文献

The Ca2+-activated maxi K+ channel was found in the apical membrane of everted rabbit connecting tubule (CNT) with a patch-clamp technique. The mean
number of open channels (NP
o
) was markedly increased from 0.007 ± 0.004 to 0.189 ± 0.039 (n= 7) by stretching the patch membrane in a cell-attached configuration. This activation was suggested to be coupled with the
stretch-activation of Ca2+-permeable cation channels, because the maxi K+ channel was not stretch-activated in both the cell-attached configuration using Ca2+-free pipette and in the inside-out one in the presence of 10 mm EGTA in the cytoplasmic side. The maxi K+ channel was completely blocked by extracellular 1 μm charybdotoxin (CTX), but was not by cytoplasmic 33 μm arachidonic acid (AA). On the other hand, the low-conductance K+ channel, which was also found in the same membrane, was completely inhibited by 11 μm AA, but not by 1 μm CTX. The apical K+ conductance in the CNT was estimated by the deflection of transepithelial voltage (ΔV
t
) when luminal K+ concentration was increased from 5 to 15 mEq. When the tubule was perfused with hydraulic pressure of 0.5 KPa, the ΔV
t
was only −0.7 ± 0.4 mV. However, an increase in luminal fluid flow by increasing perfusion pressure to 1.5 KPa markedly enhanced
ΔV
t
to −9.4 ± 0.9 mV. Luminal application of 1 μm CTX reduced the ΔV
t
to −1.3 ± 0.6 mV significantly in 6 tubules, whereas no significant change of ΔV
t
was recorded by applying 33 μm AA into the lumen of 5 tubules (ΔV
t
=−7.2 ± 0.5 mV in control vs.ΔV
t
=−6.7 ± 0.6 mV in AA). These results suggest that the Ca2+-activated maxi K+ channel is responsible for flow-dependent K+ secretion by coupling with the stretch-activated Ca2+-permeable cation channel in the rabbit CNT.

We cloned the gene, CdPAL1, from Cistanche deserticola callus using RACE PCR with degenerate primers that were designed based on a multiple sequence alignment of known PAL genes
from other plant species. The gene shows high homology to other known PAL genes registered in GenBank. The recombinant protein
exhibited Michaelis–Menten kinetics with a K
m of 0.1013 mM, V
max of 4.858 μmol min−1, K
cat of 3.36 S−1, and K
cat/K
m is 33,168 M−1 S−1. The enzyme had an optimal pH of 8.5 and an activation energy of 38.92 kJ mol−1 when l-Phenylalanine was used as a substrate; l-tyrosine cannot be used as substrate for this protein. The optimal temperature was 55°C, and the thermal stability results
showed that, after a treatment at 70°C for 20 min, the protein retained 87% activity, while a treatment at 75°C for 20 min
resulted in a loss of over 85% of the enzyme activity. Treatment with heavy metal ions (Hg2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+) showed remarkable inhibitory effects. Among the intermediates from the lignin (cinnamyl alcohol, cinnamyl aldehyde, coniferyl
aldehyde, coniferyl alcohol), phenylpropanoid (cinnamic acid, coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid) and phenylethanoid
(tyrosol and salidroside) biosynthetic pathways, only cinnamic acid showed strong inhibitory effects against CdPAL1 activity with a K
i of 8 μM. Competitive inhibitor AIP exhibited potent inhibition with K

Several calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are located in plant plasma membranes where they phosphorylate enzymes and transporters, like the H+-ATPase and water channels, thereby regulating their activities. In order to determine which kinases phosphorylate the H+-ATPase, a calcium-dependent kinase was purified from beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) plasma membranes by anion-exchange chromatography, centrifugation in glycerol gradients and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The kinetic parameters of this kinase were determined (V
max: 3.5 μmol mg−1 min−1, K
m
for ATP: 67 μM, K
m
for syntide 2: 15 μM). The kinase showed an optimum pH of 6.8 and a marked dependence on low-micromolar Ca2+ concentrations (K
d
: 0.77 μM). During the purification procedure, a 63-kDa protein with an isoelectric point of 4.7 was enriched. However, this protein was shown not to be a kinase by mass spectrometry. Kinase activity gels showed that a 50-kDa protein could be responsible for most of the activity in purified kinase preparations. This protein was confirmed to be a CDPK by mass spectrometry, possibly the red beet ortholog of rice CDPK2 and Arabidopsis thaliana CPK9, both found associated with membranes. This kinase was able to phosphorylate purified H+-ATPase in a Ca2+-dependent manner.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available to authorised users in the online version of this article at . 相似文献

Bacteroids formed by Mesorhizobium ciceri CC 1192 in symbiosis with chickpea plants (Cicer arietinum L.) contained a single form of citrate synthase [citrate oxaloacetate-lyase (CoA-acetylating) enzyme; EC 4.1.3.7], which
had the same electrophoretic mobility as the enzyme from the free-living cells. The citrate synthase from CC 1192 bacteroids
had a native molecular mass of 228 ± 32 kDa and was activated by KCl, which also enhanced stability. Double reciprocal plots
of initial velocity against acetyl-CoA concentration were linear, whereas the corresponding plots with oxaloacetate were nonlinear.
The K
m value for acetyl-CoA was 174 μM in the absence of added KCl, and 88 μM when the concentration of KCl in reaction mixtures
was 100 mM. The concentrations of oxaloacetate for 50% of maximal activity were 27 μM without added KCl and 14 μM in the presence
of 100 mM KCl. Activity of citrate synthase was inhibited 50% by 80 μM NADH and more than 90% by 200 μM NADH. Inhibition by
NADH was linear competitive with respect to acetyl-CoA (K
is = 23.1 ± 3 μM) and linear noncompetitive with respect to oxaloacetate (K
is = 56 ± 3.8 μM and K
ii = 115 ± 15.4 μM). NADH inhibition was relieved by NAD+ and by micromolar concentrations of 5′-AMP. In the presence of 50 or 100 mM KCl, inhibition by NADH was apparent only when
the proportion of NADH in the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pool was greater than 0.6. In the microaerobic environment
of bacteroids, NADH may be at concentrations that are inhibitory for citrate synthase. However, this inhibition is likely
to be relieved by NAD+ and 5′-AMP, allowing carbon to enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

The genus Dierama comprises plants with a potential to be developed as ornamentals. D. erectum seeds were decontaminated and germinated on 1/10th strength Murashige and Skoog (Physiol Plant 15:473–497, 1962) (MS) media
without plant growth regulators or sucrose. In an experiment investigating the effects of 6-benzyladenine (BA), meta-Topolin (mT), kinetin (KIN) and zeatin (Z) with or without α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), the highest shoot number per hypocotyl (4.20 ± 0.51)
was obtained from MS medium supplemented with 1.0 μM Z after 8 weeks. This was followed by a combination of 2.0 μM KIN and
2.0 μM NAA with 3.67 ± 0.81 shoots per explant. BA treatments produced 3.20 ± 0.22 shoots per hypocotyl explant when 2.0 μM
was combined with 1.0 μM NAA, while mT gave 3.09 ± 0.99 shoots per explant when 2.0 μM mT was combined with 2.0 μM NAA. Adventitious shoot regeneration was optimised when shoots were grown under a 16-h photoperiod
at 100 μmol m−2 s−1 on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 μM BA. This resulted in an average of 12.73 ± 1.03 shoots per hypocotyl explant. Various
concentrations of ancymidol, activated charcoal and sucrose did not promote in vitro corm formation of this species. Plants
rooted successfully after 8 weeks on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and had an average root
number of 2.73 ± 0.40. After 2 months of acclimatisation, plants had formed corms. The largest corms (of diameter 0.45 ± 0.03 cm)
were produced in plants pre-treated with 0.5 μM IBA. The highest plant survival percentage of 73% was also associated with
this treatment. 相似文献

Lens Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP) is a member of a family of membrane transport proteins including the Aquaporins and bacterial
glycerol transporters. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, MIP increased both glycerol permeability and the activity of glycerol kinase. Glycerol permeability (p
Gly
) was 2.3 ± 0.23 × 10−6 cm sec−1 with MIP vs. 0.92 ± 0.086 × 10−6 cm sec−1 in control oocytes. The p

could arise from an increase in the total activity of glycerol kinase, or from an increase in its affinity for glycerol. Based
on methods we present to distinguish these mechanisms, MIP increased the maximum rate of phosphorylation by glycerol kinase
(0.12 ± 0.03 vs. 0.06 ± 0.01 pmol min−1 cell−1) without changing the binding of glycerol to the kinase (K

Ferredoxin reductase BphA4 was well known as a component of biphenyl dioxygenase. However, there was little information about
whether it could utilize nonphysiological oxidants as electron acceptors. In the present study, we reported the novel nitroreductase
activity of BphA4LA−4. The homology model of ferredoxin reductase BphA4 from Dyella ginsengisoli LA−4 was constructed. According to the alignment of three-dimensional structures, it was supposed that BphA4LA−4 could function as nitroreductase. Recombinant His-tagged BphA4LA−4 was purified with a molecular mass of 49.6 ± 1 kDa. Biochemical characterization of purified BphA4LA−4 possessed the nitroreductase activity with the optimal temperature 50°C and pH 8.0. The substrate spectrum and kinetics indicated
BphA4LA−4 could reduce several nitroaromatics with different apparent K
m values: m-dinitrobenzene (560 μM), o-dinitrobenzene (1,060 μM), o-nitroaniline (1,570 μM), m-nitrobenzoic acid (1,300 μM) and m-nitrophenol (67 μM). The nitroreductase activity was further explained by docking studies, which was indicated that Arg 288
should play an important role in binding nitroaromatics. Moreover, there existed a good linear correlation between lnK
m and calculated binding energy. 相似文献

OATP1B1 and 1B3 are related transporters mediating uptake of numerous compounds into hepatocytes. A putative model of OATP1B3
with a “positive binding pocket” containing conserved positively charged amino acids was predicted (Meier-Abt et al. J Membr
Biol 208:213–227, 2005). Based on this model, we tested the hypothesis that these positive amino acids are important for OATP1B1
function. We made mutants and measured surface expression and uptake of estradiol-17β-glucuronide, estrone-3-sulfate and bromosulfophthalein
in HEK293 cells. Two of the mutants had low surface expression levels: R181K at 10% and R580A at 30% of wild-type OATP1B1.
A lysine at position 580 (R580K) rescued the expression of R580A. Mutations of several amino acids resulted in substrate-dependent
effects. The largest changes were seen for estradiol-17β-glucuronide, while estrone-3-sulfate and bromosulfophthalein transport
were less affected. The wild-type OATP1B1 K
m value for estradiol-17β-glucuronide of 5.35 ± 0.54 μM was increased by R57A to 30.5 ± 3.64 μM and decreased by R580K to 0.52 ± 0.18 μM.
For estrone-3-sulfate the wild-type high-affinity K
m value of 0.55 ± 0.12 μM was increased by K361R to 1.8 ± 0.47 μM and decreased by R580K to 0.1 ± 0.04 μM. In addition, R580K
reduced the V
max values for all three substrates to <25% of wild-type OATP1B1. Mutations at intracellular K90, H92 and R93 mainly affected
V
max values for estradiol-17β-glucuronide uptake. In conclusion, the conserved amino acids R57, K361 and R580 seem to be part
of the substrate binding sites and/or translocation pathways in OATP1B1. 相似文献

Since Svf1 is phosphoprotein, we investigated whether it was a substrate for protein kinase CK2. According to the amino acid
sequence Svf1 harbours 20 putative CK2 phosphorylation sites. Here, we have reported cloning, overexpression, purification
and characterization of yeast Svf1 as a substrate for three forms of yeast CK2. Svf1 serves as a substrate for both the recombinant
CK2α (K
m 0.35 μM) and CK2α′ (K
m 0.18 μM) as well as CK2 holoenzyme (K
m 1.1 μM). Different K
m values argue that CK2β(β′) subunit has an inhibitory effect on the activity of both CK2α and CK2α′ towards surviving factor
Svf1. Reconstitution of α′2ββ′ isoform of CK2 holoenzyme shows that β/β′ subunits have regulatory effect depending on the kind of CK2 catalytic subunit.
This effect was not observed in the case of α2ββ′ isoform, which may be due to interaction between Svf1 and regulatory CK2β subunit (shown by co-immunoprecipitation experiments).
Interactions between CK2 subunits and Svf1 protein may have influence on ATP as well as ATP-competitive inhibitors (TBBt and
TBBz) binding. CK2 phosphorylates up to six serine residues in highly acidic peptide K199EVIPESDEEESSADEDDNEDEDEESGDSEEESGSEEESDSEEVEITYED248 of the Svf1 protein in vitro. Presented data may help to elucidate the role of protein kinase CK2 and Svf1 in the regulation
of cell survival pathways. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades have been shown to be important components in abscisic acid (ABA) signal
transduction pathway. In this study, a 46 kDa MAPK (p46MAPK) induced by ABA was partially purified from maize (Zea mays) by Q-Sepharose FF, Phenyl-Sepharose FF, Resource Q, Mono QTM 5/50 GL, poly-l-lysine-agarose, and Superdex 75 prep-grade columns, and was identified as ZmMAPK5 (gi|4239889) by the matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF/TOF) mass spectrometry. Furthermore, the kinase showed optimal
activity at pH 8.0, 30°C, and 10 mM MgCl2; the K
m
for myelin basic protein (MBP) substrate and ATP were 0.13 μg μl−1 and 62 μM, respectively. MBP was the preferred substrate, of which the threonine residue was phosphorylated. Finally, the
kinase was found to respond to diverse extracelluar stimuli. These results enable us to further reveal the function of the
ZmMAPK5 in ABA signaling.
