We have previously shown that the dinuclear zinc(II) complex Phos-tag and its derivatives act as phosphate-capture molecules in aqueous solution under conditions of neutral pH. In this study, our aim was to develop more-advanced applications for the detection of phosphopeptides and phosphoproteins by using several newly synthesized Phos-tag derivatives, including a bisbiotinylated Phos-tag (BTL-108), a tetrakisbiotinylated Phos-tag (BTL-109), and a monobiotinylated Phos-tag with a dodeca(ethylene glycol) spacer (BTL-111), as well as the commercially available product BTL-104. Among these complexes, BTL-111 showed the best performance in Western blotting by an ECL system using HRP conjugated streptavidin. In addition, in a quartz-crystal microbalance analysis of a phosphoprotein, the presence of the long hydrophilic dodeca(ethylene glycol) spacer in a novel Phos-tag sensor chip coated with BTL-111 resulted in a greater sensitivity than was achieved with a similar chip coated with BTL-104. Moreover, a peptide microarray technique using the ECL system and BTL-111 permitted high-throughput assays for the specific and highly sensitive detection of protein kinase activities in cell lysates. 相似文献

We describe an improved Phos-tag SDS-PAGE (Zn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE) using a dizinc(II) complex of Phos-tag acrylamide in conjunction with a Bis-tris-buffered neutral-pH gel system to detect shifts in the mobility of phosphoproteins. An existing technique (Mn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE) using a polyacrylamide-bound Mn(2+)-Phos-tag and a conventional Laemmli's buffer system under alkaline pH conditions has limitations for separating certain phosphoproteins. The major improvements were demonstrated by visualizing novel up-shifted bands of commercially available pepsin, recombinant Tau treated in vitro with tyrosine kinases, and endogeneous β-catenin in whole-cell lysates. Additionally, the Zn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE gels showed better long-term stability than the Mn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE gels. We can therefore provide a simple, convenient, and more reliable homemade gel system for phosphate-affinity SDS-PAGE. 相似文献

A study of the capillary electrophoretic separations of proteins and peptides using high-molecular-mass polyethyleneimine (PEI) is presented. Experiments were performed in the PEI-coated capillaries together with the use of this polymer as a buffer additive under different separation conditions. The effects of pH and the concentration of PEI in the buffer on the electroosmotic flow and the migration orders of biopolymers were investigated. The use of the cationic polymer offers an alternative for the modification of the separation selectivity and resolution of biopolymers. 相似文献

Ultrasensitive detection of minute amounts of phosphorylated proteins and peptides is a key requirement for unraveling many of the most important signal transduction pathways in mammalian systems. Protein microarrays are potentially useful tools for sensitive screening of global protein expression and post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation. However, the analysis of signaling pathways has been hampered by a lack of reagents capable of conveniently detecting the targets of protein kinases. Historically, phosphorylation detection methods have relied upon either radioisotopes ((gamma-(32)P)ATP(gamma-(33)P)ATP labeling) or phosphoamino acid-selective antibodies. Both of these methods suffer from relatively well-known shortcomings. In this study, a small molecule fluorophore phosphosensor technology is described, referred to as Pro-Q Diamond dye, which is capable of ultrasensitive global detection and quantitation of phosphorylated amino acid residues in peptides and proteins displayed on microarrays. The utility of the fluorescent Pro-Q Diamond phosphosensor dye technology is demonstrated using phosphoproteins and phosphopeptides as well as with protein kinase reactions performed in miniaturized microarray assay format. Instead of applying a phosphoamino acid-selective antibody labeled with a fluorescent or enzymatic tag for detection, a small, fluorescent probe is employed as a universal sensor of phosphorylation status. The detection limit for phosphoproteins on a variety of different commercially available protein array substrates was found to be 312-625 fg, depending upon the number of phosphate residues. Characterization of the enzymatic phosphorylation of immobilized peptide targets with Pro-Q Diamond dye readily permits differentiation between specific and non-specific peptide labeling at picogram to subpicogram levels of detection sensitivity. 相似文献

We have developed a novel method for quantitating protein phosphorylation by a variety of protein kinases. It can be used with purified kinases and their substrates in vitro or in combination with cell extracts. The method is based on the knowledge that protein kinase C (PKC) adds three phosphates to each molecule of its preferred substrate, myelin basic protein (MBP). A time course is performed in which a kinase is allowed to phosphorylate its preferred substrate or the protein under investigation in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP. At the same time PKC is allowed to fully phosphorylate MBP. After resolving the products by SDS-PAGE, electrophoretic transfer, and determining the degree of incorporation of 32P by phosphorImager analysis, the data are converted to moles phosphate/mole protein by normalization with phosphorylated MBP. The method is both sensitive and relatively rapid and all the steps are commonly available in the biochemistry laboratory. We have used this method to confirm and extend information on the relationship of MEK1 and MAPK/Erk2 in rat lung fibroblasts exposed to V(2)O(5). A 4-h exposure to V(2)O(5) results in partial phosphorylation of MAPK/Erk2 such that 25% of the potential phosphorylation sites are occupied. We also demonstrate that despite multiple potential phosphorylation sites, recombinant human AP endonuclease is weakly phosphorylated in vitro (4% at best) by PKC, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, casein kinase II, and casein kinase I and not at all phosphorylated by MAPK. Furthermore we are unable to demonstrate phosphorylation in cell extracts from HeLa cells, mouse fibroblasts after oxidative damage with H(2)O(2) or alkylation damage with methylmethane sulfonate, or rat lung fibroblasts after oxidative damage with V(2)O(5). 相似文献

We have previously reported a neutral-pH gel system buffered with Bis-Tris hydrochloride (Bis-Tris-HCl) in Zn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE for advanced profiling of phosphoproteins with molecular masses of 10-200 kDa. In the current work, we describe characteristics of two neutral-pH gel systems, Bis-Tris-HCl and Tris-acetic acid (Tris-AcOH), based on comparative studies of the separation of a wide range of proteins with molecular masses from 10 to 350 kDa. For 10-200 kDa cellular proteins, the Bis-Tris-HCl system showed a higher resolving power in a 2-D fluorescence DIGE analysis of certain phosphoproteins, e.g. histone H3 (15 kDa) and elongation factor 2 (95 kDa). Furthermore, there was a large difference in the 1-D migration patterns of phosphorylated species of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2, 44/42 kDa), which arise from changes in the phosphorylation status of the Thr-202 and Tyr-204, in the two buffer systems at the same concentration of Zn(2+)-Phos-tag. In contrast, shifts in the mobility of various phosphorylated species of a high-molecular-mass protein, ataxia telangiectasia-mutated kinase (ATM, 350 kDa), could only be detected in the Tris-AcOH system with a 3% w/v polyacrylamide gel strengthened with 0.5% w/v agarose. 相似文献

Plasma aromatic and sulfur containing amino acids are good indicators of protein anabolism/catabolism, while blood reduced and oxidized glutathione reflect oxidative status in an organism. Using a full factorial design for screening important variables (pH, concentration, temperature) we developed a capillary zone electrophoresis method permitting their measurements in the single run, without any derivatization procedures. The best separations were obtained within less than 30min employing a 10mmol/l phosphate buffer, pH 2.8, 18 degrees C, 15kV voltage. Fairly good precision with a linear relationship between peak area and concentrations (r=0.995-0.999) were obtained. The method was used to analyze human capillary blood. 相似文献

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common rheumatic pathology. One of the major objectives of OA research is the development of early diagnostic strategies such as those using proteomic technology. Synovial fluid (SF) in OA patients is a potential source of biomarkers for OA. The efficient and reliable preparation of SF proteomes is a critical step towards biomarker discovery. In this study, we have optimized a pretreatment method for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) separation of the SF proteome, by enriching low-abundance proteins and simultaneously removing hyaluronic acid, albumin, and IgG. SF samples pretreated using this optimized method were then evaluated by 1DE and 2DE separation followed by immunodetection of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), a known OA biomarker, and by the identification of 3 proteins (apolipoprotein, haptoglobin precursor, and fibrinogen D fragment) that are related to joint diseases. 相似文献

Protein phosphorylation is widely believed to play a regulatory role in signal transduction, mitosis, cell proliferation, cell motility, cell shape, gene regulation, and many other cellular processes. Thus, the quantitation of phosphorylation of specific cellular proteins may provide insight into the mechanisms by which phosphorylation is employed in regulation. Moreover, identification of phosphorylation substrates of various cellular kinases provides an important first step in determining their role in cellular regulation. However, accurate measurement of the differential phosphorylation of cellular proteins under different physiological conditions is often difficult to achieve. To address this problem, we have developed an in vivo double-labeling protocol (utilizing [3H]-, [14C]-, or [35S]-radiolabeled amino acids and [32P]-orthophosphate) that allows the quantitation of the amount of specific phosphorylation of a given protein from densitometric analysis of autoradiograms of polyacrylamide gels. This double-labeling strategy provides a means of quantitating the phosphorylation of individual biosynthetically labeled proteins. This method can be used in the analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins, proteins from subcellular fractions, such as nuclei or selected membrane fractions, or even total cellular proteins displayed on two-dimensional gels. 相似文献

An efficient method for protein phosphorylation using the artificially introduced of cognate-binding modules into kinases and substrates 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Protein phosphorylation is a major post-translational modification that regulates cellular signal transduction. The phosphorylation of substrate proteins by kinases requires cognate pairs of substrates and kinases. In addition, phosphorylation is mediated through both indirect and direct interaction between these kinases and substrates, which makes it difficult to effectively prepare large quantities of recombinant phosphorylated proteins. Here, we report a novel protein phosphorylation method involving the artificial introduction of cognate-binding modules into substrates and enzymes. This enhances the local concentration of substrates around enzymes so that the enzymatic reaction proceeds more efficiently. We prepared substrate proteins containing an SH3 domain at their N-terminus, and a kinase containing an SH3-binding motif at its C-terminus. This method was successfully applied to the phosphorylation of CrkII and the Vav DH domain, and we prepared (15)N-labelled phosphorylated CrkII for NMR analysis. 相似文献

Protein kinases are known to be implicated in various biological phenomena and diseases through their involvement in protein phosphorylation. Therefore, analysis of the activity of protein kinases by examination of their phosphorylation state is important to elucidate their mechanisms. However, a method for analyzing the phosphorylation state of entire protein kinases in cells is not established. In the present study, we developed a new profiling method to analyze the expression and phosphorylation state of protein kinases using a Multi-PK antibody and Phos-tag 2D-PAGE. When HL-60 cells were differentiated into macrophage-like cells induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, we observed significant changes in the expression and phosphorylation state of immunoreactive spots by this method. These results show that tyrosine kinase expression levels and phosphorylation state are changed by differentiation. Taken together, the developed method will be a useful tool for analysis of intracellular tyrosine protein kinases. 相似文献

1. The eye lens core (nucleus) has been a valuable source of molecular biologic information. 2. In these studies, lens nuclei are usually homogenized so that any protein information related to anatomical subdivisions, or layers, of the nucleus is lost. 3. The present report is of a new method, indirect tissue electrophoresis (ITE), which, when applied to fish lens nuclei, permitted (a) automatic correlation of protein information with anatomic layer, (b) production of large, clear electrophoretic patterns even from small tissue samples and (c) detection of more proteins than in liquid extracts of homogenized tissues. 4. ITE seems potentially applicable to a variety of solid tissues. 相似文献

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was investigated for its suitability to monitor proteinuria occurring during nephrotoxic drug therapy. Urine samples of tumor patients receiving chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin, etoposide, and ifosfamide were concentrated and desalted in microconcentrators and analyzed in two different alkaline CZE buffer systems. Reduction of electroosmotic flow (EOF) by the addition of putrescine increased the number of resolved protein peaks. Both CZE methods were linear between 2.5 and 50 μg/ml, exhibited satisfactory precision (relative standard deviation <10%) and were suitable for monitor the time course of proteinuria after chemotherapy administration. In contrast to sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE), CZE detected interindividual differences in protein patterns. Whereas these differences hampered a direct quantification of proteins in urine, they may contain information on the type or extent of kidney damage. 相似文献

Selection of target substrates by protein kinases is strongly influenced by the amino acid sequence surrounding the phosphoacceptor site. Identification of the preferred peptide phosphorylation motif for a given kinase permits the production of efficient peptide substrates and greatly simplifies the mapping of phosphorylation sites in protein substrates. Here we describe a combinatorial peptide library method that allows rapid generation of phosphorylation motifs for serine/threonine kinases. 相似文献

The growth hormone receptor (GHR), a cytokine receptor superfamily member, requires the JAK2 tyrosine kinase for signaling. We now examine functional interactions between growth hormone (GH) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in 3T3-F442A fibroblasts. Although EGF enhanced ErbB-2 tyrosine phosphorylation, GH, while causing retardation of its migration on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, decreased ErbB-2's tyrosine phosphorylation. GH-induced retardation was reversed by treatment of anti-ErbB-2 precipitates with both alkaline phosphatase and protein phosphatase 2A, suggesting that GH induced serine/threonine phosphorylation of ErbB-2. Both GH-induced shift in ErbB-2 migration and GH-induced MAP kinase activation were unaffected by a protein kinase C inhibitor but were blocked by the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase 1 (MEK1) inhibitor, PD98059. Notably, leukemia inhibitory factor, but not interferon-gamma, also promoted ErbB-2 shift and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Cotreatment with EGF and GH versus EGF alone resulted in a 35% decline in acute ErbB-2 tyrosine 1248 autophosphorylation, a marked decline (approximately 50%) in DNA synthesis, and substantially decreased cyclin D1 expression. We conclude that in 3T3-F442A cells, 1) the GH-induced decrease in ErbB-2 tyrosine phosphorylation correlates with MEK1/mitogen-activated protein kinase activity and 2) GH antagonizes EGF-induced DNA synthesis and cyclin D1 expression in a pattern consistent with its alteration in ErbB-2 phosphorylation status. 相似文献
