1. The terminal phosphate of (gamma-32P)ATP is rapidly incorporated into cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes (0.7--1.3 mumol/g protein) in the presence of calcium and magnesium. Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes catalize an ATP-ADP phosphate exchange in the presence of calcium and magnesium. 2. Half-maximum activation of the phosphoprotein formation and ATP-ADP phosphate exchange is reached at an ionized calcium concentration of about 0.3 muM. The Hill coefficients are 1.3. 3. Transphosphorylation and ATP-ADP phosphate exchange require magnesium and are maximally activated at magnesium concentrations close to or equal to the ATP concentration. 4. The phosphoprotein level is reduced to about 45% at an ADP/ATP ratio of 0.1. The rate of calcium-dependent ATP splitting declines, whilst the rate of the calcium-dependent ATP-ADP phosphate exchange increases when the ADP/ATP ratio is varied from 0.1 to 1. The sum of both, the rate of ATP splitting and the rate of ADP-ATP phosphate exchange remains constant. 5. Phosphoprotein formation and ATP-ADP phosphate exchange are not affected by azide, dinitrophenol, dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and oubain, whilst both activities are reduced by blockade of -SH groups localized on the outside of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. 6. The isolated phosphoprotein is acid stable. The trichloroacetic acid denatured 32P-labelled membrane complex is dephosphorylated by hydroxylamine, which might indicate that the phosphorylated protein is an acyl-phosphate. 7. Polyacrylamide gel elctrophoresis (performed with phenol/acetic acid/water) of phosphorylated sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions demonstrates that the 32P-incorporation occurs into a protein of about 100000 molecular weight. 8. It is suggested that the phosphoprotein represents a phosphorylated intermediate of the calcium-dependent ATPase which formation occurs as an early step in the reaction sequence of calcium translocation by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum similar as in skeletal muscle.  相似文献

A direct interaction of alpha beta gamma trimeric GTP binding proteins (G proteins; G0 and Gs) with nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDP kinase) was investigated with homogeneously purified proteins. There was a progressive release of 32Pi from [gamma-32P]ATP when GDP-bound G0 was incubated together with NDP kinase. The Pi release induced by the interaction of G0 with NDP kinase was not accompanied by the dissociation of GDP bound to the alpha-subunit of G0. This was a sharp contrast to G protein-catalyzed GTP hydrolysis observed with GTP as the substrate; the dissociation of bound GDP was essentially required for the following binding of the substrate, GTP, to be hydrolyzed. A kinetic analysis displayed different properties for the substrate of NDP kinase between free GDP and G protein-bound GDP. NDP kinase-dependent phosphorylation of GDP on G0 was indeed demonstrated with adenosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate as the phosphate donor; there was a formation of guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate-bound G0 from the ATP analogue. Moreover, purified Gs was readily ADP-ribosylated by cholera toxin in the presence of NDP kinase, ATP, and an ADP-ribosylation factor, also suggesting that the nucleotide form on Gs was certainly GTP. These results indicate that NDP kinase can transfer the gamma-phosphate of ATP directly to GDP bound to G proteins and that this phosphorylation results in the activation of the signal-coupling proteins. A possible role of the new activation mechanism of G proteins is discussed in comparison with the previously characterized GDP-GTP exchange pathway by the agonist-receptor complex.  相似文献

The influence of an increased temperature (39 degrees C) on a denaturation of 50 kDa-fragment of myosin subfragment 1 was studied in the presence of different nucleoside triphosphates (NTP) and nucleoside diphosphates (NDP). The degree of the denaturation was appreciated evaluated from its trypsinolysis depth. According to their protective influence NTP and NDP were shown to arrange in lines ATP greater than or equal to CTP greater than UTP greater than GTP and ADP greater than GDP greater than CDP greater than UDP, correspondingly. The results received and the literature data allow to suggest that there are at least two states of ATPase site hydrophobic pocket, one of which in responsible for sharp ATPase reaction slowing-down on the stage of macroergic bonding splitting.  相似文献

The structurally related nucleoside triphosphates, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), purine riboside triphosphate (PTP), inosine triphosphate (ITP), and guanosine triphosphate (GTP), are all hydrolyzed by the recA protein with the same turnover number (17.5 min-1). The S0.5 values for these nucleotides increase progressively in the order ATP (45 microM), PTP (100 microM), ITP (300 microM), and GTP (750 microM). PTP, ITP, and GTP are each competitive inhibitors of recA protein-catalyzed ssDNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis, indicating that these nucleotides all compete for the same catalytic site on the recA protein. Despite these similarities, ATP and PTP function as cofactors for the recA protein-promoted three-strand exchange reaction, whereas ITP and GTP are inactive as cofactors. The strand exchange activity of the various nucleotides correlates directly with their ability to support the isomerization of the recA protein to a strand exchange-active conformational state. The mechanistic deficiency of ITP and GTP appears to arise as a consequence of the hydrolysis of these nucleotides to the corresponding nucleoside diphosphates, IDP and GDP. We speculate the nucleoside triphosphates with S0.5 values greater than 100 microM will be intrinsically unable to sustain the strand exchange-active conformational state of the recA protein during ongoing NTP hydrolysis and will therefore be inactive as cofactors for the strand exchange reaction.  相似文献

A real-time, simple and sensitive method for detection of nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase activity has been developed. The assay is based on detection of ATP, generated in the NDP kinase reaction between a nucleoside triphosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP), by the firefly luciferase system. In the presence of 0.3 mM dGTP, the Km for ADP was found to be approximately 30 microM for the NDP kinase from Baker's yeast. In the presence of 250 microM ADP, the Km for dATP alpha S, dTTP alpha S, dGTP, dTTP, dCTP and GTP was found to be approximately 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.25, 0.75 and 0.2 mM, respectively. The assay is sensitive and yields linear responses between 0.05-50 mU. The detection limit was found to be 0.05 mU of NDP kinase. The method was used to detect NDP kinase contamination in commercial enzyme preparations.  相似文献

The results of numerous investigations during the last 20 years show that nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDP kinase) is a multifunctional protein. In this paper, the current data are analyzed indicating that one of the possible mechanisms by which NDP kinase manifests its multifunctional role is its participation in the activation (or regulation) of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins). We demonstrate that one of the NDP kinase isoforms dynamically interacts with the retinal rod G protein transducin (Gt) and phosphorylates its β-subunit at histidine residue (His 266). It is also shown that it leads to the consecutive transfer of the phosphate group to GDP in the active center of G protein α-subunit and G protein activation. The advantages of this mechanism are considered as compared to the classic G protein activation mechanism, GDP/GTP exchange.  相似文献

Tubulin strictly requires GTP for its polymerization. Nevertheless, microtubule assembly can be observed in the presence of ATP as the only nucleotide triphosphate, due to the nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDP kinase) present in microtubule preparations, and which phosphorylates the GDP into GTP. We have purified this enzyme from pig brain to homogeneity, and shown that its relative mass is close to 100 000 in its native state, and 17 000 under denaturing conditions. Therefore it is probably a hexamer, as previously shown for the enzyme from other sources, and also presents a microheterogeneity, with the major isoforms between pI 5.0 and 6.0. The enzyme is transiently phosphorylated during catalysis, as expected within a ping-pong bi-bi mechanism. The effect of the NDP kinase on pure tubulin polymerization was studied: in the presence of NDP kinase, the lag time observed in the kinetics of microtubule assembly was shorter and the final extent of assembly was unchanged. The effect of the enzyme was observed at enzyme concentrations 900-fold lower than tubulin concentration, which shows that the NDP kinase acts catalytically. Kinetic data show that the catalytic effect of the NDP kinase is faster than the rate of nucleotide exchange on tubulin under the same conditions. This result demonstrates that the tubulin-GDP complex itself is a substrate for the enzyme, which may indicate that the GDP bound to tubulin at the E site is exposed on the surface of dimeric tubulin.  相似文献

1. The effect was studied of local anesthetics (tetracaine, dibucaine, procaine and xylocaine) on the forward and the backward reactions of the calcium pump of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. 2. The inhibition of the rate of calcium uptake, the rate of calcium-dependent ATP splitting and the rate of calcium-dependent ATP-ADP phosphate exchange by sarcoplasmic reticulum in the presence of the above drugs is at least partially due to the inhibition of the phosphoprotein formation from ATP. 3. The rate of the ADP-induced calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum and the rate of ATP synthesis driven by the calcium efflux are inhibited on account of a reduction of the phosphoprotein formation by orthophosphate. 4. The phosphorylation of calcium transport ATPase by either ATP or orthophosphate is diminished by the local anesthetics owing to a reduction in the apparent calcium affinity of sarcoplasmic reticulum emmbranes on the outside and on the inside, respectively. 5. The drug-induced calcium efflux from calcium-preloaded sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, a reaction not requiring ADP, is probably not mediated by calcium transport ATPase.  相似文献

Nucleoside-diphosphate kinase is an enzyme which catalyzes the phosphorylation of nucleoside diphosphates into the corresponding triphosphates for nucleic acid biosynthesis. In this communication, we describe the purification and characterization of nucleoside-diphosphate kinase from yeast. The purified protein appears to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel analysis, with a molecular weight of about 17,000-18,000. An estimate from the fast protein liquid chromatography Superose 12 gel filtration shows a native molecular weight of about 68,000 to 70,000. The results suggest that yeast nucleoside-diphosphate kinase is composed of four subunits. Substrate specificity studies show that the relative activity of nucleoside diphosphates (NDP) as phosphate acceptors is in the order of dTDP greater than CDP greater than UDP greater than dUDP greater than GDP greater than or equal to dGDP greater than dCDP greater than dADP greater than ADP; and the relative activity of triphosphate donors is in the order of UTP greater than dTTP greater than CTP greater than dCTP greater than dATP greater than ATP greater than or equal to dGTP greater than GTP. The Km and Vm of dTDP, dGDP, dCDP, dUDP, CDP, and UDP have been determined. The rate constant studies indicate that the purified NDP kinase prefers using, to a slight extent, dTDP (approximately 800 min-1) as the substrate rather than other tested deoxyribo- and ribonucleotides (350-450 min-1). The broad substrate specificity and kinetic data suggest that the enzyme is involved in both DNA and RNA metabolism.  相似文献

A study of the kinetic mechanism of elongation factor Ts   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts) catalyzes the reaction EF-Tu X GDP + nucleotide diphosphate (NDP) reversible EF-Tu X NDP + GDP where NDP is GDP, IDP, GTP, or GMP X PCP. The EF-Ts-catalyzed exchange rates were measured at a series of concentrations of EF-Tu X [3H] GDP and free nucleotide. Plotting the rate data according to the Hanes method produced a series of lines intersecting on the ordinate, a characteristic of substituted enzyme mechanisms. GDP is a competitive inhibitor of IDP exchange, a result predicted for the substituted enzyme mechanism but inconsistent with ternary complex mechanisms that involve an intermediate complex containing EF-Ts and both substrates. The exchange of both GTP and the GTP analog GMP X PCP also follow the substituted enzyme mechanism. The maximal rates of exchange of GDP and GTP are the same, which indicates that the rates of dissociation of EF-Ts from EF-Tu X GDP and EF-Tu X GTP are the same. The steady-state maximal exchange rate is slower by a factor of 20 than the previously reported rate of dissociation of GDP from EF-Ts X EF-Tu. This is interpreted to mean that the rate-determining step in the exchange reaction is the dissociation of EF-Ts from EF-Tu X GDP.  相似文献

Vesicles capable of phosphate-stimulated calcium uptake were isolated from the microsomal fraction of the smooth muscle of the pig stomach according to a previously described procedure which consists in increasing the density of the vesicles by loading them with calcium phosphate and isolating them by centrifugation [Raeymaekers, L., Agostini, B., and Hasselbach, W. (1981) Histochemistry, 70, 139--150]. These vesicles, which contain calcium phosphate deposits, are able to accumulate an additional amount of calcium. This calcium uptake is accompanied by calcium-stimulated ATPase activity and by the formation of an acid-stable phosphoprotein. The acid-denatured phosphoprotein is dephosphorylated by hydroxylamine, which indicates that an acylphosphate is formed. This phosphoprotein probably represents a phosphorylated transport intermediate similar to that seen with the Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle. As with the Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, this vesicular fraction catalyses an exchange between inorganic phosphate and the gamma-phosphate of ATP (ATP-Pi exchange) which is dependent on the presence of intravesicular calcium, and an exchange of phosphate between ATP and ADP (ATP-ADP exchange). The results further indicate that the turnover rate of the calcium pump, calculated from the ratio of calcium-stimulated ATPase activity to the steady-state level of phosphoprotein, is similar to that of Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle.  相似文献

This study was aimed to elucidate whether GDP can mediate hormonal signal to adenylate cyclase in hepatic glucagon sensitive adenylate cyclase with ATP as substrate. Conversion of added GDP to GTP catalyzed by nucleoside diphosphate kinase was suppressed to less than 0.3% of added GDP by including UDP. Inhibition of this enzyme activity by UDP was accompanied by a preferential loss of the stimulatory effect of glucagon plus GDP on cyclase activity without changes in effects of glucagon plus GTP, glucagon plus guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imino)triphosphate, and NaF. Under this condition, i.e. in the presence of UDP, GDP competitively inhibited the actions of GTP (Ki for GDP, 1 microM) and guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imino)triphosphate in the presence of glucagon, the inhibition being complete at high GDP concentrations. GDP also inhibited cyclase activity stimulated by NaF with UDP but did only slightly without UDP. It was demonstrated that nucleoside diphosphate kinase is located in membranes in addition to cytosol fraction. However, the activity of membrane-associated enzyme was not affected by the addition of glucagon. Based on these observations, it is concluded that GDP is unable to mediate hormonal signal to adenylate cyclase and that it acts as an inhibitor of cyclase activity stimulated by GTP or its analog along with hormone. The results suggest a possible role of membrane-associated nucleoside diphosphate kinase in determining GTP and GDP levels at or near their binding site so as to replenish GTP and, thereby, decrease the inhibitory action of GDP when hormone is present.  相似文献

NDPK-A, product of the nm23-H1 gene, is one of the two major isoforms of human nucleoside diphosphate kinase. We analyzed the binding of its nucleotide substrates by fluorometric methods. The binding of nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) substrates was detected by following changes of the intrinsic fluorescence of the H118G/F60W variant, a mutant protein engineered for that purpose. Nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) substrate binding was measured by competition with a fluorescent derivative of ADP, following the fluorescence anisotropy of the derivative. We also determined an X-ray structure at 2.0A resolution of the variant NDPK-A in complex with ADP, Ca(2+) and inorganic phosphate, products of ATP hydrolysis. We compared the conformation of the bound nucleotide seen in this complex and the interactions it makes with the protein, with those of the nucleotide substrates, substrate analogues or inhibitors present in other NDP kinase structures. We also compared NDP kinase-bound nucleotides to ATP bound to protein kinases, and showed that the nucleoside monophosphate moieties have nearly identical conformations in spite of the very different protein environments. However, the beta and gamma-phosphate groups are differently positioned and oriented in the two types of kinases, and they bind metal ions with opposite chiralities. Thus, it should be possible to design nucleotide analogues that are good substrates of one type of kinase, and poor substrates or inhibitors of the other kind.  相似文献

The NADPH-oxidase of human neutrophils can be activated in a cell-free system comprised of plasma membrane, cytosol, and an anionic amphiphile such as arachidonate or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Recently, we showed that diacylglycerol acts synergistically with SDS in the cell-free system to stimulate superoxide generation, with concurrent phosphorylation of a 47-kDa cytosolic protein which is thought to be a component of the oxidase (Burnham, D. N., Uhlinger, D. J., and Lambeth, J. D. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 17550-17559). We report herein that when undialyzed cytosol is used along with either SDS alone or SDS plus diacylglycerol as activators, adenosine 5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate (ATP gamma S) and guanosine 5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) both stimulated superoxide generation several fold, yielding about the same maximal velocity. ATP and GTP showed lower levels of stimulation. Stimulation by ATP gamma S and GTP gamma S was nonadditive, and showed a 5-7-fold greater specificity for GTP gamma S. ATP gamma S stimulation was inhibited by the nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase inhibitor UDP. In contrast, when extensively dialyzed cytosol was used, most of the stimulation by ATP gamma S was lost, while most of that by GTP gamma S was retained. Addition of GDP restored the ability of ATP gamma S to stimulate, consistent with NDP kinase-catalyzed formation of GTP gamma S from ATP gamma S plus GDP. This activity was demonstrated directly in both cytosol and plasma membrane. Using undialyzed cytosol, phosphorylation of p47 showed a similar nonspecificity for nucleoside triphosphates, due to NDP kinase activity, but revealed the expected ATP specificity when dialyzed cytosol was used. Neither ATP gamma S nor GTP gamma S were good substrates for protein phosphorylation. Under a variety of conditions, phosphorylation of p47 or other neutrophil proteins failed to correlate with oxidase activation. The present studies indicate that SDS and diacylglycerol stimulation of superoxide generation in the cell-free system is independent of protein kinase C or other protein kinase activity, and suggest a novel role for diacylglycerol in cell regulation.  相似文献

The rate of calcium transport by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from dog heart assayed at 25 degrees C, pH 7.0, in the presence of oxalate and a low free Ca2+ concentration (approx. 0.5 microM) was increased from 0.091 to 0.162 mumol . mg-1 . min-1 with 100 nM calmodulin, when the calcium-, calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation was carried out prior to the determination of calcium uptake in the presence of a higher concentration of free Ca2+ (preincubation with magnesium, ATP and 100 microM CaCl2; approx. 75 microM free Ca2+). Half-maximal activation of calcium uptake occurs under these conditions at 10-20 nM calmodulin. The rate of calcium-activated ATP hydrolysis by the Ca2+-, Mg2+-dependent transport ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum was increased by 100 nM calmodulin in parallel with the increase in calcium transport; calcium-independent ATP splitting was unaffected. The calcium-, calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum, preincubated with approx. 75 microM Ca2+ and assayed at approx. 10 microM Ca2+ approaches maximally 3 nmol/mg protein, with a half-maximal activation at about 8 nM calmodulin; it is abolished by 0.5 mM trifluperazine. More than 90% of the incorporated [32P]phosphate is confined to a 9-11 kDa protein, which is also phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and most probably represents a subunit of phospholamban. The stimulatory effect of 100 nM calmodulin on the rate of calcium uptake assayed at 0.5 microM Ca2+ was smaller following preincubation of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with calmodulin in the presence of approx. 75 microM Ca2+, but in the absence of ATP, and was associated with a significant degree of calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation. However, the stimulatory effect on calcium uptake and that on calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation were both absent after preincubation with calmodulin, without calcium and ATP, suggestive of a causal relationship between these processes.  相似文献

We have previously shown that micromolar concentrations of GDP stimulate the GTP-mediated phosphorylation of p36, the subunit of succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS), in lysates prepared fromDictyostelium discoideum. In this study, we report that this phenomenon represents an enhanced catalytic capacity of SCS to form the phosphoenzyme intermediate. Low concentrations of GDP stimulate phosphoenzyme formation by either GTP, or succinyl-CoA and Pi. Under these conditions GDP enhances the apparent rate of phosphoenzyme formation but does not significantly alter the fraction of phosphorylated enzyme. This effect is retained during purification of the protein and is also observed with purified pig heart SCS, indicating that GDP directly alters the enzyme to enhance its rate of phosphorylation. Under these conditions, GDP does not function at the catalytic site, implying an allosteric regulation of SCS.Abbreviations used SCS succinyl-CoA synthetase - P i inorganic phosphate - NDP nucleotide diphosphate - NTP nucleotide triphosphate - PFK phosphofructokinase A-form; ADP-forming SCS; G-form; GDP-forming SCS  相似文献

The chaperone activity of Hsp70 in protein folding and its conformational switching are regulated through the hydrolysis of ATP and the ATP-ADP exchange cycle. It was reported that, in the presence of physiological concentrations of ATP (approximately 5 mM) and ADP (approximately 0.5 mM), Hsp70 catalyzes ATP-ADP exchange through transfer of gamma-phosphate between ATP and ADP, via an autophosphorylated intermediate, whereas it only catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP in the absence of ADP. To clarify the functional domain of the ATP-ADP exchange activity of Hsp70, we isolated the 44-kD ATPase domain of Hsp70 after limited proteolysis with alpha-chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1). The possibility of ATP-ADP exchange activity of a contaminating nucleoside diphosphate kinase (EC 2.7.4.6) was monitored throughout the experiments. The purified 44-kD ATPase domain exhibited intrinsic ATP-ADP exchange by catalyzing the transfer of gamma-phosphate between ATP and ADP with acid-stable autophosphorylation at Thr204.  相似文献

The relative abilities of ATP and GTP to support succinyl-CoA synthesis by mitochondrial matrix fractions prepared from rabbit heart and liver mitoplasts were investigated. The activity supported by ATP in rabbit heart preparations was less than 15% of that obtained with GTP, while no ATP-supported activity was observed in rabbit liver preparations. However, the addition of 30 micromolar GDP to matrix fractions from either heart or liver stimulated the ATP-supported activity to 40% of that observed with GTP, and the further addition of bovine liver nucleoside diphosphate kinase in the presence of 8 microM added GDP increased the activity to near that observed with GTP. The specific activity of nucleoside diphosphate kinase assayed directly in mitochondrial matrix from heart was about 15% of the specific activity of ATP-supported succinate thiokinase induced upon adding GDP. Evidence for a complex between nucleoside diphosphate kinase and succinate thiokinase in mitochondrial matrix from rabbit heart was obtained by glycerol density gradient centrifugation. It is proposed that binding of nucleoside diphosphate kinase to succinate thiokinase activates the former enzyme, accounts for the ATP-supported succinyl-CoA synthetase activity observed, and is involved in the channeling of high energy phosphate from GTP produced in the Krebs cycle to the ATP pool.  相似文献

We have examined the effects of the structurally related nucleoside triphosphates, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), purine riboside triphosphate (PTP), inosine triphosphate (ITP), and guanosine triphosphate (GTP), on the recA protein-promoted DNA renaturation reaction (phi X DNA). In the absence of nucleotide cofactor, the recA protein first converts the complementary single strands into unit-length duplex DNA and other relatively small paired DNA species; these initial products are then slowly converted into more complex multipaired network DNA products. ATP and PTP stimulate the conversion of initial product DNA into network DNA, whereas ITP and GTP completely suppress network DNA formation. The formation of network DNA is also inhibited by all four of the corresponding nucleoside diphosphates, ADP, PDP, IDP, and GDP. Those nucleotides which stimulate the formation of network DNA are found to enhance the formation of large recA-ssDNA aggregates, whereas those which inhibit network DNA formation cause the dissociation of these nucleoprotein aggregates. These results not only implicate the nucleoprotein aggregates as intermediates in the formation of network DNA, but also establish the functional equivalency of ITP and GTP with the nucleoside diphosphates. Additional experiments indicate that the net effect of ITP and GTP on the DNA renaturation reaction is dominated by the corresponding nucleoside diphosphates, IDP and GDP, that are generated by the NTP hydrolysis activity of the recA protein.  相似文献
