The multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC or proteasome) from bovine thymus was isolated and purified to homogeneity applying a protocol utilizing ion exchange and gel permeation chromatography as major purification tools. The purified complex shows molecular properties that are common for proteasomal molecules (high molecular mass, multisubunit organization, and multiple proteolytic activities) even though a peculiar subunit composition and the presence of specific regulatory mechanisms affecting the assembled proteolytic activities suggest a specialized function for this complex. Thymus proteasome is characterized by the presence of LMP2, LMP7, and LMP10 (MECL1) subunits, which replace the X, Y, and Z subunits. Since a similar complex was previously isolated in bovine spleen, it appears that the proteasomal population containing the LMP subunits is characteristic for organs involved in immune response. Both the thymus and spleen proteasomes are characterized by a marked efficiency in cleaving peptide bonds after branched-chain and aromatic amino acids, indicating that this proteasomal population is most likely involved in intracellular processing of class I antigenic peptides and is an example of an "in vivo" functioning immunoproteasome. However, in spite of several similarities, the complexes isolated from the two lymphoid organs do not show superimposable functional properties, which suggests the presence of organ-specific regulatory mechanisms affecting each of the proteolytic components assembled in the complex. 相似文献

The mechanism by which cAMP modulates the activity of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) was studied. Elevation of cAMP inhibited both basal and norepinephrine-stimulated phosphoinositide breakdown in C6Bu1 cells which contain at least three PLC isozymes, PLC-beta, PLC-gamma, and PLC-delta. Treatment of C6Bu1 cells with cAMP-elevating agents (cholera toxin, isobutylmethylxanthine, forskolin, and 8-bromo-cAMP) increased serine phosphate in PLC-gamma, but the phosphate contents in PLC-beta and PLC-delta were not changed. In addition, cAMP-dependent protein kinase selectively phosphorylated purified PLC-gamma among the three isozymes and added a single phosphate at serine. The serine phosphorylation, nevertheless, did not affect the activity of PLC-gamma in vitro. We propose, therefore, that the phosphorylation of PLC-gamma by cAMP-dependent protein kinase alters its interaction with putative modulatory proteins and leads to its inhibition. 相似文献

Catch in certain molluscan muscles is released by an increase in cAMP, and it was suggested that the target of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is the high molecular weight protein twitchin [Siegman, M. J., Funabara, J., Kinoshita, S., Watabe, S., Hartshorne, D. J., and Butler, T. M. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 95, 5384-5388]. This study was carried out to investigate the phosphorylation of twitchin by PKA. Twitchin was isolated from Mytilus catch muscles and was phosphorylated by PKA to a stoichiometry of about 3 mol of P/mol of twitchin. There was no evidence of twitchin autophosphorylation. Two phosphorylated peptides were isolated and sequenced, termed D1 and D2. Additional cDNA sequence for twitchin was obtained, and the D2 site was located at the C-terminal side of the putative kinase domain in a linker region between two immunoglobulin C2 repeats. Excess PKA substrates, e.g., D1 and D2, blocked the reduction in force on addition of cAMP, confirming the role for PKA in regulating catch. Papain proteolysis of (32)P-labeled twitchin from permeabilized muscles showed that the D1 site represented about 50% of the (32)P labeling. Proteolysis of in-situ twitchin with thermolysin suggested that the D1 and D2 sites were at the N- and C-terminal ends of the molecule, respectively. Thermolysin proteolysis also indicated that D1 and D2 were major sites of phosphorylation by PKA. The direct phosphorylation of twitchin by PKA is consistent with a regulatory role for twitchin in the catch mechanism and probably involves phosphorylation at the D1 and D2 sites. 相似文献

The phosphorylation of canine cardiac and skeletal muscle ryanodine receptors by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase has been studied. A high-molecular-weight protein (Mr 400,000) in cardiac microsomes was phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. A monoclonal antibody against the cardiac ryanodine receptor immunoprecipitated this phosphoprotein. In contrast, high-molecular-weight proteins (Mr 400,000-450,000) in canine skeletal microsomes isolated from extensor carpi radialis (fast) or superficial digitalis flexor (slow) muscle fibers were not significantly phosphorylated. In agreement with these findings, the ryanodine receptor purified from cardiac microsomes was also phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of the cardiac ryanodine receptor in microsomal and purified preparations occurred at the ratio of about one mol per mol of ryanodine-binding site. Upon phosphorylation of the cardiac ryanodine receptor, the levels of [3H]ryanodine binding at saturating concentrations of this ligand increased by up to 30% in the presence of Ca2+ concentrations above 1 microM in both cardiac microsomes and the purified cardiac ryanodine receptor preparation. In contrast, the Ca2+ concentration dependence of [3H]ryanodine binding did not change significantly. These results suggest that phosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor by cAMP-dependent protein kinase may be an important regulatory mechanism for the calcium release channel function in the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Phosphorylation and functional modification of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV by cAMP-dependent protein kinase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaM-kinase IV), a neuronal calmodulin-dependent multifunctional protein kinase, undergoes autophosphorylation in response to Ca2+ and calmodulin, resulting in activation of the enzyme (Frangakis et al. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 11309-11316). In contrast, the enzyme was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, leading to a decrease in the enzyme activity. Thus, the results suggest differential regulation of CaM-kinase IV by two representative second messengers, Ca2+ and cAMP. 相似文献

The presence of two distinct high-molecular-weight proteases with similar pH optima in the weakly alkaline region was shown in cytosol of the bovine brain cortex. They were separated by ammonium sulfate fractionation and each was further purified by DEAE-Sephacel Sephacryl S-300, DEAE-Cibacron Blue 3GA-agarose, heparin-agarose, and Sepharose 6B chromatography. The larger enzyme (Mr 1,400 kDa), which precipitates at 0–38% ammonium sulfate saturation, seems to be active in ATP+ubiquitin (Ub)-dependent proteolysis; it has low basal caseinolytic activity that is stimulated 3-fold by ATP, and when Ub is present ATP causes a 4.5-fold stimulation. A second proteinase was also found to be present (Mr 700 kDa) that precipitates at 38–80% ammonium sulfate saturation, is composed of multiple subunits ranging in Mr from 18 to 30 kDa, and degrades both protein and peptide substrates, demonstrating trypsin-, chymotrypsin- and cucumisin-like activities. Catalytic, biochemical, and immunological characteristics of this proteinase indicate that it is a multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC), whose enzyme activity, in contrast to that of MPC from bovine pituitaries (1–3), is stimulated 1.7-fold by addition of ATP in the absence of ubiquitin at the early steps of purification; this property is lost during the course of further purification. Both proteinases are present in the nerve cells, since the primary chicken embryonic telencephalon neuronal cell culture extracts contain both ATP+Ub-dependent proteinase and MPC activities.Special issue dedicated to Dr. Paola S Timiras 相似文献

The tyrosine-specific src kinase and the catalytic subunit of bovine heart adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated glycerol when incubated with [gamma-32P]Mg-ATP. The product was detected by thin layer chromatography. The formation of glycerol phosphate by both enzymes was independent of the presence of a protein substrate (casein). The results show that glycerol phosphorylation is not a unique property of the src transforming protein. Because the product was only detected when high glycerol concentrations (approximately 0.1 M) were used, it is unlikely that either enzyme functions as a glycerol kinase in vivo. 相似文献

The breakdown of beta-casein (caseinolytic activity) by the bovine pituitary multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC) is initiated by a fourth active site different from the previously described chymotrypsin-like activity (cleavage of Cbz-Gly-Gly-Leu-p-nitroanilide, where Cbz is benzyloxycarbonyl), trypsin-like activity (cleavage of Cbz-D-Ala-Leu-Arg-2-naphthylamide), and peptidylglutamyl peptide bond-hydrolyzing (PGP) activity (cleavage of Cbz-Leu-Leu-Glu-2-naphthylamide) (Yu, B., Pereira, M. E., and Wilk, S. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 17396-17400). 3,4-Dichloroisocoumarin, a serine proteinase inhibitor, stimulated the caseinolytic activity of bovine pituitary or lens MPC, 3-18-fold under conditions under which the other three catalytic activities were inactivated. Addition of hydroxylamine to the modified enzyme did not reverse the effects of the inhibitor. A form of the proteinase exhibiting only 2-4% of control chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like, and PGP activities degraded beta-casein with no accumulation of intermediate peptides. 3,4-Dichloroisocoumarin, by reacting with the chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like, and/or PGP-active sites, may promote a conformational change of MPC, rendering the caseinolytic active site accessible to the substrate. Once bound to the active site, beta-casein is rapidly degraded either by the caseinolytic component itself or by a cooperative interaction with catalytic centers that are not affected by the serine proteinase inhibitor. These results imply that the caseinolytic component does not belong to the class of serine proteinases. Other proteins tested were not degraded by the 3,4-dichloroisocoumarin-treated enzyme, suggesting that the conformation of beta-casein may be more adequate for degradation by the caseinolytic component. 相似文献

We have examined the potential for using calf uterine progesterone receptor (PR) as a substrate for phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK), PR was found to interact with anti-PR monoclonal antibody alpha PR6 (Sullivan et al., 1986), which was to immunopurify the receptor. Protein staining of the purified preparation revealed the presence of two major bands corresponding to 114 kDa and 90 kDa peptides; only 114 kDa peptide could be photoaffinity-labeled with R5020. The 90 kDa peptide co-migrated with 90 kDa heat shock protein (hsp-90) precipitated by anti-hsp-90 monoclonal antibody AC88 (Riehl et al., 1985). Incubation of the immunopurified protein-A-Sepharose-adsorbed PR with the catalytic subunit of cAMP-PK in the presence of gamma-[32P]ATP and divalent cations resulted in a Mg++-dependent incorporation of 32P-radioactivity into both the 114 kDa and the hsp-90 peptides. Small 32P-incorporation was also seen in the 114 kDa peptide in the presence of Mn++. A 60 degrees C preincubation of immunopurified PR increased the extent of phosphorylation of the hsp-90 peptide. A pretreatment with alkaline phosphatase reduced the ability of PR to act as a substrate while the steroid occupancy of PR appeared to enhance the phosphorylation of the 114 kDa peptide. The differential cation requirement for the phosphorylation of 114 kDa and hsp-90 peptides and a selective hormone-dependent increase in the phosphorylation of the 114 kDa peptide suggest a possible role of phosphorylation in mediating progesterone action in the calf uterus. 相似文献

beta-Glucuronidases purified from human hepatoma and from normal liver could serve as a substrate for a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The rate of phosphorylation reaction of the hepatoma beta-glucuronidase was rapid, whereas that of the normal liver beta-glucuronidase was slow and much lower. Stoichiometry of phosphorylation was 4.3 and 0.46 mol of phosphate/mol of the beta-glucuronidase from the hepatoma and normal liver, respectively. Tryptic peptide mapping of 32P-labeled beta-glucuronidase from hepatoma identified two distinct phosphopeptides (X and Y). The peptide from hepatoma hydrolase was phosphorylated predominantly at the X, while the peptide Y was the major phosphopeptide in the hydrolase of normal liver. Analysis of phosphoamino acids revealed two sites, phosphoserine and phosphothreonine. beta-Glucuronidase from hepatoma consisted of a major subunit with molecular mass of 64,000 (64 kDa) and a minor subunit with 76 kDa, whereas the hydrolase from normal liver had almost exclusively 64 kDa subunit. 32P-labeled beta-glucuronidase indicated that the 64 kDa subunit was phosphorylated both in hepatoma and normal liver beta-glucuronidases. 相似文献

The effects of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) phosphorylation on the degradation of the microtubule-associated protein tau by calpain were studied. Purified bovine brain tau that had been phosphorylated by cAMP-PK had a slower migration pattern on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and a more acidic, less heterogeneous pattern on two-dimensional, nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis (NEPHGE) gels compared with untreated tau. Phosphorylation of tau by cAMP-PK significantly inhibited its proteolysis by calpain compared with untreated tau. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration that phosphorylation of tau by a specific kinase results in increased resistance to hydrolysis by calpain. Tau dephosphorylated by alkaline phosphatase migrated more rapidly on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and also showed an altered two-dimensional NEPHGE pattern. Dephosphorylation of tau had no effect on its susceptibility to calpain proteolysis, indicating that regulation of the susceptibility to calpain hydrolysis is due to the phosphorylation of a specific site(s). These results suggest a role for phosphorylation in regulating the degradation of tau. Abnormal phosphorylation could result in a protease-resistant tau population which may contribute to the formation of paired helical filaments in Alzheimer's disease. 相似文献

Phosphorylation and activation of the cardiac isoenzyme of phosphorylase kinase by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of the alpha- and beta-subunits of the cardiac isozyme of phosphorylase kinase. beta-Subunit phosphorylation achieves a maximum level of between 1 to 2 mol of phosphate/mol of phosphorylase kinase, a value less than the stoichiometric content of beta-subunits in the enzyme. This, less than stoichiometric incorporation, is not a result of the presence of endogenous phosphate in equivalent sites in the remaining beta-subunit moieties. Pretreatment of phosphorylase kinase with phosphoprotein phosphatase, under conditions proven to dephosphorylate such sites, does not modify the observed extent of beta-subunit phosphorylation. alpha'-Subunit phosphorylation is initiated at a slower rate than beta but achieves a higher maximum level of incorporation. alpha'-Subunit phosphorylation, but not the extent of beta-subunit phosphorylation, is stimulated by MnCl2 and partially inhibited by NaF; neither is effected by ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. The activation of cardiac phosphorylase kinase that occurs concomitantly with phosphorylation appears to be dependent upon phosphate incorporation into both the alpha- and beta-subunits. At low levels of activation a close correlation is observed between activation and either alpha-subunit phosphorylation, beta-subunit phosphorylation, or total phosphorylation. However, the cAMP-dependent catalyzed phosphorylation of alpha, at a time after which beta-subunit phosphorylation is already maximal, also results in activation of cardiac phosphorylase kinase. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of immunopurified chicken oviduct progesterone receptor (PR) was studied in intact cells and under cell-free conditions. Cytosol PR was isolated by incubation with anti-PR monoclonal antibody alpha PR22 adsorbed to protein A-Sepharose and suspended in a reaction mixture containing 10 mM Mg2+, 0.1 mM [gamma-32P]ATP, and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) from bovine heart. All three major proteins of avian PR (PR-A, 79 kDa; PR-B, 110 kDa; 90 kDa) incorporated 32P-radioactivity on serine residues. The phosphorylation reaction was inhibited by synthetic inhibitors of protein kinases, H-8 and 20-residue peptide IP20. A 40 degrees C preexposure of PR oligomer increased phosphorylation of the 90-kDa protein, known to be a heat-shock protein (hsp-90). The extent of the phosphorylation reaction was temperature-dependent as the 32P-incorporation into PR-A and PR-B increased gradually, showing a maximum at 37 degrees C. Multiple phosphopeptides (4-7) were resolved by two-dimensional electrophoresis chromatography following cleavage of 32P-labeled peptides with trypsin. Both A and B forms of receptor showed similar phosphorylation patterns with B receptor digestion exhibiting two to three additional peptides. Under physiological conditions, preincubation of oviduct mince with forskolin, a regulator of intracellular cAMP levels, caused a greater extent of phosphorylation of PR-A and PR-B proteins. The results of this study demonstrate that chicken oviduct PR is an excellent substrate for the action of cAMP-PK in vitro and that this enzyme may be a physiological regulator of progesterone action in the oviduct. 相似文献

It was shown that preparations of bovine kidney gamma-glutamyl transferase with different degree of purity are phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation is accompanied by a simultaneous decrease of both transferase and hydrolase activities of the enzyme. Hence, gamma-glutamyltransferase may serve as a substrate and target of regulation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. 相似文献

Keratins, constituent proteins of intermediate filaments of epithelial cells, are phosphoproteins containing phosphoserine and phosphothreonine. We examined the in vitro phosphorylation of keratin filaments by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. When rat liver keratin filaments reconstituted by type I keratin 18 (molecular mass 47 kDa; acidic type) and type II keratin 8 (molecular mass 55 kDa; basic type) in a 1:1 ratio were used as substrates, all the protein kinases phosphorylated both of the constituent proteins to a significant rate and extent, and disassembly of the keratin filament structure occurred. Kinetic analysis suggested that all these protein kinases preferentially phosphorylate keratin 8, compared to keratin 18. The amino acid residues of keratins 8 and 18 phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase C were almost exclusively serine, while those phosphorylated by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II were serine and threonine. Peptide mapping analysis indicated that these protein kinases phosphorylate keratins 8 and 18 in a different manner. These observations gave the way for in vivo studies of the role of phosphorylation in the reorganization of keratin filaments. 相似文献

Previous studies identified proline-directed protein kinase (PDPK) as a growth factor-sensitive serine/threonine protein kinase that is active in the cytosol of proliferative cells and tissues during interphase. In this communication, we report that the regulatory subunit (RII) of bovine cardiac muscle cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is a putative substrate for the multifunctional PDPK. Purified RII is readily phosphorylated by PDPK in vitro in a time-dependent, enzyme-dependent manner to a stoichiometry approaching 0.7 mol phosphate/mol RII subunit protein. The major RII phosphorylation site is identified as a threonine residue located within a large hydrophobic tryptic peptide that is predicted to contain the cAMP binding domains. In contrast to the reported effects of RII autophosphorylation, kinetic analysis of RII function following phosphorylation by PDPK indicates that the inhibitory potency of RII toward the catalytic subunit of PKA in a reassociation assay is increased in proportion to the degree of phosphorylation. Further studies indicate that the cAMP-dependent activation of the RII2C2 holoenzyme is inhibited by PDPK phosphorylation. Taken together, the results of these studies indicate that phosphorylation of RII by PDPK attenuates the activity of PKA. This antagonistic interaction suggests a biochemical mechanism by which a growth factor-activated signaling system may function to modulate cAMP-dependent cellular responses. 相似文献

The effect of N-acetylimidazole, a mild acetylating reagent, on the catalytic activities and subunit structure of the bovine pituitary multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC) was studied. The trypsin-like activity (cleavage of Cbz-D-Ala-Leu-Arg-2-naphthylamide) and the peptidylglutamyl-peptide bond hydrolyzing (PGP) activity (cleavage of Cbz-Leu-Leu-Glu-2-naphthylamide) of MPC were rapidly inactivated by N-acetylimidazole, whereas the chymotrypsin-like activity (cleavage of Cbz-Gly-Gly-Leu-p-nitroanilide) was inactivated slowly. However, the hydrolysis of casein was markedly stimulated. Hydrolysis of casein by the acetylated enzyme generated a stable intermediate (21 kDa) which could be further degraded by native MPC. Treatment of acetylated MPC with hydroxylamine reversed the changes in trypsin-like and caseinolytic activities but did not restore the PGP activity. N-Acetylimidazole did not dissociate MPC but altered its migration on nondissociating gels presumably by acetylation of epsilon-amino groups of lysine residues. Hydroxylamine did not alter the gel electrophoretic appearance of the acetylated enzyme. These results indicate that acetylation of thiol or tyrosyl groups changes the trypsin-like and caseinolytic activities, and that amino group acetylation inhibits the PGP activity. Degradation of casein by MPC appears to be a sequential process with initial cleavage catalyzed by a component distinct from the chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like, and PGP activities. The latter three components likely participate in the secondary proteolysis of the generated intermediates. 相似文献

The use of polyethyleneimine-cellulose thin layer sheets to follow the phosphorylation of histone and decomposition of ATP catalyzed by an adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-stimulated protein kinase, protein kinase I, has made possible a more detailed analysis of the time course of these reactions than has been achieved previously be observing only recovered phosphorylated protein. When [gamma-32P] ATP was employed, significant error was introduced by the presence of 32Pi at the solvent front on these sheets, and this limited the accuracy of the available information. However, the analysis of assays performed with [U-14C] ATP was straightforward and appeared to have an accuracy comparable to that of the present standard assay. This appears to be the first use of [U-14C] ATP to assay protein kinases. Our physical characterization of protein kinase I showed it to be a homogeneous protein species by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis and analytical ultracentrifugation. Kinetic studies with protein kinase I indicated the absence of histone phosphatase and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity. Furthermore, the ATPase activity seen is believed to be intimately associated with the protein kinase action, particularly in view of the observed dependence of the rate of Pi production on the presence of cyclic AMP. The kinetic data for the phosphorylation of histone catalyzed by protein kinase I under full stimulation by cyclic AMP are consistent with a double displacement mechanism. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of smooth muscle actin by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Partially purified smooth muscle (chicken gizzard) actomyosin contains two major substrates of cAMP-dependent protein kinase: a protein of Mr = 130,000, identified as the calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase, and a protein of Mr = 42,000. This latter protein was shown by a variety of electrophoretic procedures to be actin. Purified smooth muscle actin also was phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The rate of phosphorylation of smooth muscle actin was significantly enhanced by depolyjerization of actin. A maximum of 2.0 mol phosphate could be incorporated per mol G-actin. Skeletal muscle F-actin was not significantly phosphorylated by protein kinase; however, skeletal G-actin is a substrate for the protein kinase although its rate of phosphorylation was significantly slower than that of smooth muscle G-actin. 相似文献

Previous work has shown that the GABAA-receptor (GABAA-R) could be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), and a receptor associated kinase. However, no clear picture has yet emerged concerning the particular subunit subtypes of the GABAA-R that were phosphorylated by PKA and PKC. In the present report we show that an antibody raised against a 23 amino acid polypeptide corresponding to a sequence in the putative intracellular loop of the 1 subunit of the receptor blocks the in vitro phosphorylation of the purified receptor by PKA and PKC. Moreover, N-terminal sequence analysis of the principal phosphopeptide fragment obtained after proteolysis of the receptor yielded a sequence that corresponds to the 3 subunit of the receptor. Such data provide additional support for our hypothesis (Browning et al., 1990, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:1315–1317) that both PKA and PKC phosphorylate the -subunit of the GABAA-R.Special issue dedicated to Dr. Paul Greengard. 相似文献
