We have used the two-electrode voltage clamp technique and the patch clamp technique to investigate the regulation of ROMK1 channels by protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) and protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) in oocytes coexpressing ROMK1 and cSrc. Western blot analysis detected the presence of the endogenous PTP-1D isoform in the oocytes. Addition of phenylarsine oxide (PAO), an inhibitor of PTP, reversibly reduced K(+) current by 55% in oocytes coinjected with ROMK1 and cSrc. In contrast, PAO had no significant effect on K(+) current in oocytes injected with ROMK1 alone. Moreover, application of herbimycin A, an inhibitor of PTK, increased K(+) current by 120% and completely abolished the effect of PAO in oocytes coexpressing ROMK1 and cSrc. The effects of herbimycin A and PAO were absent in oocytes expressing the ROMK1 mutant R1Y337A in which the tyrosine residue at position 337 was mutated to alanine. However, addition of exogenous cSrc had no significant effect on the activity of ROMK1 channels in inside-out patches. Moreover, the effect of PAO was completely abolished by treatment of oocytes with 20% sucrose and 250 microg/ml concanavalin A, agents that inhibit the endocytosis of ROMK1 channels. Furthermore, the effect of herbimycin A is absent in the oocytes pretreated with either colchicine, an inhibitor of microtubules, or taxol, an agent that freezes microtubules. We conclude that PTP and PTK play an important role in regulating ROMK1 channels. Inhibiting PTP increases the internalization of ROMK1 channels, whereas blocking PTK stimulates the insertion of ROMK1 channels.  相似文献

Previous studies have demonstrated that an increase in the activity of protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) is involved in the down-regulation of the activity of apical small conductance K(+) (SK) channels in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) from rats on a K(+)-deficient diet (). We used the patch clamp technique to investigate the role of protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) in the regulation of the activity of SK channels in the CCD from rats on a high K(+) diet. Western blot analysis indicated that PTP-1D is expressed in the renal cortex. Application of 1 microm phenylarsine oxide (PAO) or 1 mm benzylphosphonic acid, agents that inhibit PTP, reversibly reduced channel activity by 95%. Pretreatment of CCDs with PAO for 30 min decreased the mean NP(o) reversibly from control value 3.20 to 0.40. Addition of 1 microm herbimycin A, an inhibitor of PTK, had no significant effect on channel activity in the CCDs from rats on a high K(+) diet. However, herbimycin A abolished the inhibitory effect of PAO, indicating that the effect of PAO is the result of interaction between PTK and PTP. Addition of brefeldin A, an agent that blocks protein trafficking from Golgi complex to the membrane, had no effect on channel activity. Moreover, application of colchicine, a microtubule inhibitor, or paclitaxel, a microtubule stabilizer, had no effect on channel activity. In contrast, PAO still reduced channel activity in the presence of brefeldin A, colchicine, or paclitaxel. Furthermore, the effect of PAO on channel activity was absent when the tubules were bathed in 16% sucrose-containing bath solution or treated with concanavalin A. We conclude that PTP is involved in the regulation of the activity of SK channels and that inhibition of PTP may facilitate the internalization of the SK channels.  相似文献

We carried out in vitro phosphorylation assays to determine whether ROMK1 is a substrate of protein kinase C (PKC) and used the two-electrode voltage clamp method to investigate the role of serine residues 4, 183, and 201, the three putative PKC phosphorylation sites, in the regulation of ROMK1 channel activity. Incubation of the purified His-tagged ROMK1 protein with PKC and radiolabeled ATP resulted in (32)P incorporation into ROMK1 detected by autoradiography. Moreover, the in vitro phosphorylation study of three synthesized peptides corresponding to amino acids 1-16, 174-189, and 196-211 of ROMK1 revealed that serine residues 4 and 201 of ROMK1 were the two main PKC phosphorylation sites. In contrast, (32)P incorporation of peptide 174-189 was absent. In vitro phosphorylation studies with ROMK1 mutants, R1S4/201A, R1S4/183A, and R1S183/201A, demonstrated that the phosphorylation levels of R1S4/201A were significantly lower than those of the other two mutants. Also, the Ba(2+)-sensitive K(+) current in oocytes injected with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-R1S4/201A was only 5% of that in oocytes injected with wild type GFP-ROMK1. In contrast, the K(+) current in oocytes injected with GFP-ROMK1 mutants containing either serine residue 4 or 201 was similar to those injected with wild type ROMK1. Confocal microscope imaging shows that the surface expression of the K(+) channels was significantly diminished in oocytes injected with R1S4/201A and completely absent in oocytes injected with R1S4/183/201A. Furthermore, the biotin labeling technique confirmed that the membrane fraction of ROMK channels was almost absent in HEK293 cells transfected with either R1S4/201A or R1S4/183/201A. However, when serine residues 4 and 201 were mutated to aspartate, the K(+) currents and the surface expression were completely restored. Finally, addition of calphostin C in the incubation medium significantly decreased the K(+) current in comparison with that under control conditions. Biotin labeling technique further indicated that inhibition of PKC decreases the surface ROMK1 expression in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells transfected with ROMK1. We conclude that ROMK1 is a substrate of PKC and that serine residues 4 and 201 are the two main PKC phosphorylation sites that are essential for the expression of ROMK1 in the cell surface.  相似文献

In the present study, we tested the role of CD63 in regulating ROMK1 channels by protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK). Immunocytochemical staining shows that CD63 and receptor-linked tyrosine phosphatase alpha (RPTPalpha) are expressed in the cortical collecting duct and outer medulla collecting duct. Immunoprecipitation of tissue lysates from renal cortex and outer medulla or 293T cells transfected with CD63 reveals that CD63 was associated with RPTPalpha both in situ and in transfected cells. Expression of CD63 in 293T cells stimulated the phosphorylation of tyrosine residue 416 of c-Src but decreased the phosphorylation of tyrosine residue 527, indicating that expression of CD63 stimulates the activity of c-Src. Furthermore, c-Src was coimmunoprecipitated with RPTPalpha and CD63 both in 293T cells transfected with CD63 and in lysates prepared from native rat kidney. Potassium restriction had no effect on the expression of RPTPalpha, but it increased the association between c-Src and RPTPalpha in the renal cortex and outer medulla. We also used two-electrode voltage clamp to study the effect of CD63 on ROMK channels in Xenopus oocytes. Expression of CD63 had no significant effect on potassium currents in oocytes injected with ROMK1; however, it significantly enhanced the c-Src-induced inhibition of ROMK channels in oocytes injected with ROMK1+c-Src. The effect of CD63 on the c-Src-induced inhibition was not due to a decreased expression of ROMK1 channels, because blocking PTK with herbimycin A abolished the inhibitory effect of c-Src on ROMK channels in oocytes injected with ROMK1+c-Src+CD63. Furthermore, coexpression of CD63 enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of ROMK1. We conclude that CD63 plays a role in the regulation of ROMK channels through its association with RPTPalpha, which in turn interacts with and activates Src family PTK, thus reducing ROMK activity.  相似文献

Receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase alpha, RPTPalpha, is a typical transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) with two cytoplasmic catalytic domains. RPTPalpha became strongly phosphorylated on tyrosine upon treatment of cells with the PTP inhibitor pervanadate. Surprisingly, mutation of the catalytic site Cys in the membrane distal PTP domain (D2), but not of the membrane proximal PTP domain (D1) that harbors the majority of the PTP activity, almost completely abolished pervanadate-induced tyrosine phosphorylation. Pervanadate-induced RPTPalpha tyrosine phosphorylation was not restricted to Tyr789, a known phosphorylation site. Cotransfection of wild-type RPTPalpha did not potentiate tyrosine phosphorylation of inactive RPTPalpha-C433SC723S, suggesting that RPTPalpha-mediated activation of kinase(s) does not underlie the observed effects. Mapping experiments indicated that pervanadate-induced tyrosine phosphorylation sites localized predominantly, but not exclusively, to the C-terminus. Our results demonstrate that RPTPalpha-D2 played a role in pervanadate-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of RPTPalpha, which may suggest that RPTPalpha-D2 is involved in protein-protein interactions.  相似文献

Insulin signaling is regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the signaling molecules, such as the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrates (IRSs). Therefore, the balance between protein-tyrosine kinases and protein-tyrosine phosphatase activities is thought to be important in the modulation of insulin signaling in insulin-resistant states. We thus employed the adenovirus-mediated gene transfer technique, and we analyzed the effect of overexpression of a wild-type protein-tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) on insulin signaling in both L6 myocytes and Fao cells. In both cells, PTP1B overexpression blocked insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and IRS-1 by more than 70% and resulted in a significant inhibition of the association between IRS-1 and the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and Akt phosphorylation as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation. Moreover, insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis was also inhibited by PTP1B overexpression in both cells. These effects were specific for insulin signaling, because platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated PDGF receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and Akt phosphorylation were not inhibited by PTP1B overexpression. The present findings demonstrate that PTP1B negatively regulates insulin signaling in L6 and Fao cells, suggesting that PTP1B plays an important role in insulin resistance in muscle and liver.  相似文献

We previously found that fibronectin (FN) has a cryptic functional site (YTIYVIAL, #1848-1855) opposing to cell adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM). The present study demonstrates that the FN peptide containing this anti-adhesive site, termed peptide III14-2, affects programmed cell death (PCD) (apoptosis) as well as cell adhesion by down-regulating protein-tyrosine phosphorylation. Peptide III14-2 suppressed the integrin alpha5beta1-mediated adhesion of leukemic cell lines (K562 and HL60), and protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, 1 microM phenylarsine oxide (PAO) blocked the anti-adhesive effect of peptide III14-2. These leukemic cells underwent PCD when exposed to PAO at the higher concentration (5 microM), as judged by nuclear and DNA fragmentations, and which was reversed by tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein. Peptide III14-2 suppressed the PAO-induced PCD, whereas a control peptide in which the anti-adhesive sequence YTIYVIAL is scrambled, was inactive. Western blotting showed that PAO stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins including focal adhesion kinase and that peptide III14-2 inhibited them, suggesting that protein-tyrosine phosphorylation represents a common early signal for the adhesion and PCD. The anti-adhesive site of FN molecule may play a crucial role also in a variety of cellular processes other than adhesion and PCD by down-regulating protein-tyrosine phosphorylation.  相似文献

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized at the molecular level by the expression of Bcr-Abl, a chimeric protein with deregulated tyrosine kinase activity. The protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is up-regulated in Bcr-Abl-expressing cells, suggesting a regulatory link between the two proteins. To investigate the interplay between these two proteins, we inhibited the activity of PTP1B in Bcr-Abl-expressing TonB.210 cells by either pharmacological or siRNA means and examined the effects of such inhibition on Bcr-Abl expression and function. Herein we describe a novel mechanism by which the phosphatase activity of PTP1B is required for Bcr-Abl protein stability. Inhibition of PTP1B elicits tyrosine phosphorylation of Bcr-Abl that triggers the degradation of Bcr-Abl through ubiquitination via the lysosomal pathway. The degradation of Bcr-Abl consequently inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation of Bcr-Abl substrates and the downstream production of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, PTP1B inhibition reduces cell viability and the IC(50) of the Bcr-Abl inhibitor imatinib mesylate. Degradation of Bcr-Abl via PTP1B inhibition is also observed in human CML cell lines K562 and LAMA-84. These results suggest that inhibition of PTP1B may be a useful strategy to explore in the development of novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of CML, particularly because host drugs currently used in CML such as imatinib focus on inhibiting the kinase activity of Bcr-Abl.  相似文献

PTP20, also known as HSCF/protein-tyrosine phosphatase K1/fetal liver phosphatase 1/brain-derived phosphatase 1, is a cytosolic protein-tyrosine phosphatase with currently unknown biological relevance. We have identified that the nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase Tec-phosphorylated PTP20 on tyrosines and co-immunoprecipitated with the phosphatase in a phosphotyrosine-dependent manner. The interaction between the two proteins involved the Tec SH2 domain and the C-terminal tyrosine residues Tyr-281, Tyr-303, Tyr-354, and Tyr-381 of PTP20, which were also necessary for tyrosine phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. Association between endogenous PTP20 and Tec was also tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent in the immature B cell line Ramos. Finally, the Tyr-281 residue of PTP20 was shown to be critical for deactivating Tec in Ramos cells upon B cell receptor ligation as well as dephosphorylation and deactivation of Tec and PTP20 itself in transfected COS7 cells. Taken together, PTP20 appears to play a negative role in Tec-mediated signaling, and Tec-PTP20 interaction might represent a negative feedback mechanism.  相似文献

Mammalian Sprouty proteins have been shown to inhibit the proliferation and migration of cells in response to growth factors and serum. In this communication, using HeLa cells, we have examined the possibility that human Sprouty 2 (hSPRY2) mediates its anti-migratory actions by modulating the activity or intracellular localization of protein-tyrosine phosphatases. In HeLa cells, overexpression of hSPRY2 resulted in an increase in protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP1B) amount and activity in the soluble (100,000 x g) fraction of cells without an increase in total amount of cellular PTP1B. This increase in the soluble form of PTP1B was accompanied by a decrease in the amount of the enzyme in the particulate fraction. The amounts of PTP-PEST or PTP1D in the soluble fractions were not altered. Consistent with an increase in soluble PTP1B amount and activity, the tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins and p130(Cas) was decreased in hSPRY2-expressing cells. In control cells, overexpression of wild-type (WT) PTP1B, but not its C215S catalytically inactive mutant mimicked the actions of hSPRY2 on tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins and migration. On the other hand, in hSPRY2-expressing cells, the C215S mutant, but not WT PTP1B, increased tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins and attenuated the anti-migratory actions of hSPRY2. Interestingly, neither WT nor C215S mutant forms of PTP1B modulated the anti-mitogenic actions of hSPRY2. Therefore, we conclude that an increase in soluble PTP1B activity contributes to the anti-migratory, but not anti-mitogenic, actions of hSPRY2.  相似文献

We have previously reported a direct in vivo interaction between the activated insulin receptor and protein-tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B), which leads to an increase in PTP1B tyrosine phosphorylation. In order to determine if PTP1B is a substrate for the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, the phosphorylation of the Cys 215 Ser, catalytically inactive mutant PTP1B (CS-PTP1B) was measured in the presence of partially purified and activated insulin receptor. In vitro, the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase catalyzed the tyrosine phosphorylation of PTP1B. 53% of the total cellular PTP1B became tyrosine phosphorylated in response to insulin in vivo. Tyrosine phosphorylation of PTP1B by the insulin receptor was absolutely dependent upon insulin-stimulated receptor autophosphorylation and required an intact kinase domain, containing insulin receptor tyrosines 1146, 1150 and 1151. Tyrosine phosphorylation of wild type PTP1B by the insulin receptor kinase increased phosphatase activity of the protein. Intermolecular transdephosphorylation was demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo, by dephosphorylation of phosphorylated CS-PTP1B by the active wild type enzyme either in a cell-free system or via expression of the wild type PTP1B into Hirc-M cell line, which constitutively overexpress the human insulin receptor and CS-PTP1B. These results suggest that PTP1B is a target protein for the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase and PTP1B can regulate its own phosphatase activity by maintaining the balance between its phosphorylated (the active form) and dephosphorylated (the inactive form) state.  相似文献

The protein kinase C (PKC) pathway is important for the regulation of K(+) transport. The renal outer medullar K(+) (ROMK1) channels show an exquisite sensitivity to intracellular protons (pH(i)) (effective pK(a) approximately 6.8) and play a key role in K(+) homeostasis during metabolic acidosis. Our molecular dynamic simulation results suggest that PKC-mediated phosphorylation on Thr-193 may disrupt the PIP(2)-channel interaction via a charge-charge interaction between Thr-193 and Arg-188. Therefore, we investigated the role of PKC and pH(i) in regulation of ROMK1 channel activity using a giant patch clamp with Xenopus oocytes expressing wild-type and mutant ROMK1 channels. ROMK1 channels pre-incubated with the PKC activator phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate exhibited increased sensitivity to pH(i) (effective pK(a) shifted to pH approximately 7.0). In the presence of GF109203X--a PKC selective inhibitor--the effective pK(a) for inhibition of ROMK1 channels by pH(i) decreased (effective pK(a) shifted to pH approximately 6.5). The pH(i) sensitivity of ROMK1 channels mediated by PKC appeared to be dependent of PIP(2) depletion. The giant patch clamp together with site direct mutagenesis revealed that Thr-193 is the phosphorylation site on PKC that regulates the pH(i) sensitivity of ROMK1 channels. Mutation of PKC-induced phosphorylation sites (T193A) decreases the pH(i) sensitivity and increases the interaction of channel-PIP(2). Taken together, these results provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the pH(i) gating of ROMK1 channel regulation by PKC.  相似文献

Because of their antagonistic catalytic functions, protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and protein-tyrosine kinases act together to control phosphotyrosine-mediated signaling processes in mammalian cells. However, unlike for protein-tyrosine kinases, little is known about the cellular substrate specificity of many PTPs because of the lack of appropriate methods for the systematic and detailed analysis of cellular PTP function. Even for the most intensely studied, prototypic family member PTP1B many of its physiological functions cannot be explained by its known substrates. To gain better insights into cellular PTP1B function, we used quantitative MS to monitor alterations in the global tyrosine phosphorylation of PTP1B-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts in comparison with their wild-type counterparts. In total, we quantified 124 proteins containing 301 phosphotyrosine sites under basal, epidermal growth factor-, or platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated conditions. A subset of 18 proteins was found to harbor hyperphosphorylated phosphotyrosine sites in knock-out cells and was functionally linked to PTP1B. Among these proteins, regulators of cell motility and adhesion are overrepresented, such as cortactin, lipoma-preferred partner, ZO-1, or p120ctn. In addition, regulators of proliferation like p62DOK or p120RasGAP also showed increased cellular tyrosine phosphorylation. Physical interactions of these proteins with PTP1B were further demonstrated by using phosphatase-inactive substrate-trapping mutants in a parallel MS-based analysis. Our results correlate well with the described phenotype of PTP1B-deficient fibroblasts that is characterized by an increase in motility and reduced cell proliferation. The presented study provides a broad overview about phosphotyrosine signaling processes in mouse fibroblasts and, supported by the identification of various new potential substrate proteins, indicates a central role of PTP1B within cellular signaling networks. Importantly the MS-based strategies described here are entirely generic and can be used to address the poorly understood aspects of cellular PTP function.  相似文献

We havepreviously demonstrated that the protein level of c-Src, anonreceptor type of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK), was higher in therenal medulla from rats on a K-deficient (KD) diet than that in rats ona high-K (HK) diet (Wang WH, Lerea KM, Chan M, and Giebisch G. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 278: F165-F171, 2000).We have now used the patch-clamp technique to investigate the role ofPTK in regulating the apical K channels in the medullary thickascending limb (mTAL) of the rat kidney. Inhibition of PTK withherbimycin A increased NPo, a product of channelnumber (N) and open probability (Po),of the 70-pS K channel from 0.12 to 0.42 in the mTAL only from rats ona KD diet but had no significant effect in tubules from animals on a HKdiet. In contrast, herbimycin A did not affect the activity of the30-pS K channel in the mTAL from rats on a KD diet. Moreover, additionof N-methylsulfonyl-12,12-dibromododec-11-enamide, an agentthat inhibits the cytochrome P-450-dependent production of20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, further increasedNPo of the 70-pS K channel in the presence ofherbimycin A. Furthermore, Western blot detected the presence ofPTP-1D, a membrane-associated protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP), inthe renal outer medulla. Inhibition of PTP with phenylarsine oxide(PAO) decreased NPo of the 70-pS K channel inthe mTAL from rats on a HK diet. However, PAO did not inhibit theactivity of the 30-pS K channel in the mTAL. The effect of PAO on the70-pS K channel was due to indirectly stimulating PTK becausepretreatment of the mTAL with herbimycin A abolished the inhibitoryeffect of PAO. Finally, addition of exogenous c-Src reversibly blockedthe activity of the 70-pS K channel in inside-out patches. We concludethat PTK and PTP have no effect on the low-conductance K channels inthe mTAL and that PTK-induced tyrosine phosphorylation inhibits,whereas PTP-induced tyrosine dephosphorylation stimulates, the apical70-pS K channel in the mTAL.

Activation of the high affinity neurotrophin receptor tropomyosin-related kinase A (TrkA) by nerve growth factor (NGF) leads to phosphorylation of intracellular tyrosine residues of the receptor with subsequent activation of signaling pathways involved in neuronal survival such as the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3-K)/protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) pathway and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. In the present study, we tested whether inhibition of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) by orthovanadate could enhance tyrosine phosphorylation of TrkA thereby stimulating NGF-like survival signaling in embryonic hippocampal neurons. We found that the PTP inhibitor orthovanadate (1 microM) enhanced TrkA phosphorylation and protected neurons against staurosporine (STS)-induced apoptosis in a time-and concentration-dependent manner. Inhibition of PTP enhanced TrkA phosphorylation also in the presence of NGF antibodies indicating that NGF binding to TrkA was not required for the effects of orthovanadate. Moreover, orthovanadate enhanced phosphorylation of Akt and the MAPK Erk1/2 suggesting that the signaling pathways involved in the protective effect were similar to those activated by NGF. Accordingly, inhibition of PI3-K by wortmannin and MAPK-kinase (MEK) inhibition by UO126 abolished the neuroprotective effects. In conclusion, the results indicate that orthovanadate mimics the effect of NGF on survival signaling pathways in hippocampal neurons. Thus, PTP inhibition appears to be an appropriate strategy to trigger neuroprotective signaling pathways downstream of neurotrophin receptors.  相似文献

Non-receptor-tyrosine kinases (protein-tyrosine kinases) and non-receptor tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have been implicated in the regulation of ion channels, neuronal excitability, and synaptic plasticity. We previously showed that protein-tyrosine kinases such as Src kinase and PTPs such as PTPα and PTPε modulate the activity of delayed-rectifier K(+) channels (I(K)). Here we show cultured cortical neurons from PTPε knock-out (EKO) mice to exhibit increased excitability when compared with wild type (WT) mice, with larger spike discharge frequency, enhanced fast after-hyperpolarization, increased after-depolarization, and reduced spike width. A decrease in I(K) and a rise in large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) currents (mBK) were observed in EKO cortical neurons compared with WT. Parallel studies in transfected CHO cells indicate that Kv1.1, Kv1.2, Kv7.2/7.3, and mBK are plausible molecular correlates of this multifaceted modulation of K(+) channels by PTPε. In CHO cells, Kv1.1, Kv1.2, and Kv7.2/7.3 K(+) currents were up-regulated by PTPε, whereas mBK channel activity was reduced. The levels of tyrosine phosphorylation of Kv1.1, Kv1.2, Kv7.3, and mBK potassium channels were increased in the brain cortices of neonatal and adult EKO mice compared with WT, suggesting that PTPε in the brain modulates these channel proteins. Our data indicate that in EKO mice, the lack of PTPε-mediated dephosphorylation of Kv1.1, Kv1.2, and Kv7.3 leads to decreased I(K) density and enhanced after-depolarization. In addition, the deficient PTPε-mediated dephosphorylation of mBK channels likely contributes to enhanced mBK and fast after-hyperpolarization, spike shortening, and consequent increase in neuronal excitability observed in cortical neurons from EKO mice.  相似文献

Rho GTPases are signal transduction effectors that control cell motility, cell attachment, and cell shape by the control of actin polymerization and tyrosine phosphorylation. To identify cellular targets regulated by Rho GTPases, we screened global protein responses to Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA activation by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. A total of 22 targets were identified of which 19 had never been previously linked to Rho GTPase pathways, providing novel insight into pathway function. One novel target of RhoA was protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), which catalyzes dephosphorylation of key signaling molecules in response to activation of diverse pathways. Subsequent analysis demonstrated that RhoA enhances post-translational modification of PTP1B, inactivates phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity, and up-regulates tyrosine phosphorylation of p130Cas, a key mediator of focal adhesion turnover and cell migration. Thus, protein profiling reveals a novel role for PTP1B as a mediator of RhoA-dependent phosphorylation of p130Cas.  相似文献

In addition to functioning as a cAMP-activated chloride channel, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) plays an important role in conferring regulatory properties on other ion channels. It is known, with respect to CFTR regulation of ROMK2 (renally derived K(ATP) channel), that the first transmembrane domain and the first nucleotide binding fold domain (NBF1) of CFTR are necessary for this interaction to occur. It has been shown that under conditions that promote phosphorylation, the ROMK2-CFTR interaction is attenuated. To elucidate the complex nature of this interaction, CFTR constructs were co-expressed with ROMK2 in Xenopus oocytes, and two microelectrode voltage clamp experiments were performed. Although the second half of CFTR can act as a functional chloride channel, our results suggest that it does not confer glibenclamide sensitivity on ROMK2, as does the first half of CFTR. The attenuation of the ROMK2-CFTR interaction under conditions that promote phosphorylation is dependent on at least the presence of the R domain of CFTR. We conclude that transmembrane domain 1, NBF1, and the R domain are the CFTR domains involved in the ROMK2-CFTR interaction and that NBF2 and transmembrane domain 2 are not essential. Lastly, the R domain of CFTR is necessary for the attenuation of the ROMK2-CFTR interaction under conditions that promote phosphorylation.  相似文献
