The possible role of tyrosine kinase in the regulation of fowl sperm motility was investigated by using a stable analogue of erbstatin, methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate (2,5-MeC), a specific inhibitor of tyrosine kinase. This inhibited the motility of intact spermatozoa at 30°C in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, the motility of demembranated spermatozoa was not inhibited by the same concentrations of 2,5-MeC. At 40°C, both intact and demembranated spermatozoa were almost immotile with or without 2,5-MeC. Additionally, intact spermatozoa, stimulated by the addition of Ca2+ or calyculin A, a specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases, lost their motility with the subsequent addition of 2,5-MeC at 40°C. However, unlike the motility, the ATP concentrations of spermatozoa were maintained in about 30–35 nmol ATP/109 cells during these incubation periods. The activity of tyrosine kinase of spermatozoa at 30°C, estimated by measuring the phosphorylation of a synthetic peptide substrate, RR-SRC, was 0.17 pmol/min per milligram of protein. This activity was lower than that of fowl testes or chick brain but higher than that of chick liver. These results suggest that tyrosine kinase activity, which is not retained in the axoneme and/or accessory cytoskeletal components, may be involved in the maintenance of flagellar movement of fowl spermatozoa at 30°C.

Among several metals, vanadium has emerged as an extremely potent agent with insulin-like properties. These insulin-like properties
have been demonstrated in isolated cells, tissues different animal models of type I and type II diabetes as well as a limited
number of human subjects. Vanadium treatment has been found to improve abnormalities of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism
and of gene expression in rodent models of diabetes. In isolated cells, it enhances glucose transport, glycogen and lipid
synthesis, and inhibits gluconeogenesis and lipolysis. The molecular mechanism responsible for the insulin-like effects of
vanadium compounds have been shown to involve the activation of several key components of insulin-signaling pathways that
include the mitogen-activated-protein kinases (MAPKs) extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and p38MAPK, and
phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)/protein kinase B (PKB). It is interesting that the vanadium effect on these signaling
systems is independent of insulin receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity, but it is associated with enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation
of insulin receptor substrate-1. These actions seem to be secondary to vanadium-induced inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatases.
Because MAPK and PI3-K/PKB pathways are implicated in mediating the mitogenic and metabolic effects of insulin, respectively,
it is plausible that mimicry of these pathways by vanadium serves as a mechanism for its insulin-like responses. 相似文献

The protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) plays an important role in insect immune system. Our group has purified a type of acid phosphatase that could specifically dephosphorylate trans-Golgi p230 in vitro. In order to study this phosphatase further, we have identified and cloned the phosphatase gene from a locust specific Metarhizium anisopliae Strain CQMa102. The CQMa102 phosphatase was expressed in Pichia pastoris to verify its protease activity. The molecular weight (MW) and the isoelectric point (pI) of the phosphatase were about 85 kDa and 6.15, respectively. Substrate specificity evaluation showed that the purified enzyme exhibited high activity on O-phospho-L-tyrosine. At its optimal pH of 6.5 and optimum temperature of 70 °C, the protein showed the highest activity respectively. It can be activated by Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Ba2+, Co2+ and phosphate analogs, but inhibited by Zn2+, Cu2+, fluoride, dithiothreitol, β-mercaptoethanol and N-ethylmaleimide. 相似文献

Effect of several vanadium salts, sodium orthovanadate, vanadyl sulfate and sodium metavanadate on protein tyrosine phosphorylation and serine/threonine kinases in chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing a normal human insulin receptor was examined. All the compounds stimulated protein tyrosine phosphorylation of two major proteins with molecular masses of 42 kDa (p42) and 44 kDa (p44). The phosphorylation of p42 and p44 was associated with an activation of mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase as well as increased protein tyrosine phosphorylation of p42mapk and p44mapk. Vanadinm salts also activated the 90 kDa ribosomal s6 kinase (p90rsk) and 70 kDa ribosomal s6 kinase (p70s6k). Among the three vanadium salts tested, vanadyl sulfate appeared to be slightly more potent than others in stimulating MAP kinases and p70s6k activity. It is suggested that vanadium-induced activation of MAP kinases and ribosomal s6 kinases may be one of the mechanisms by which insulin like effects of this trace element are mediated.Abbreviations eIF-4

The transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) typically appears as a single phosphorylated polypeptide designated pp60v-src, pp60v-src possesses a protein kinase activity specific for tyrosine residues on select protein substrates. Treatment of RSV-transformed cells with vanadium ions resulted in the appearance of an electrophoretic variant of pp60v-src and was paralleled by a significant increase in the src kinase specific activity in purified enzyme preparations. Both the normal (standard) src kinase and the src kinase preparations obtained from vanadium-treated cells exhibited similar optimal activity profiles for MgCl2, KCl, and pH. Furthermore, their site specificities of phosphorylation of the substrates casein and vinculin were the same. The reaction kinetic profile of the standard src kinase showed a nonlinear pattern, while the vanadium enzyme exhibited conventional linear Michaelis-Menten kinetics. These results are discussed with respect to the possible functional regulation of pp60v-src activity by a vanadium-sensitive protein phosphatase activity. 相似文献

Organo-vanadium compounds (OVC) have been shown to be more effective than inorganic vanadium compounds in ameliorating glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance in rodent models of diabetes mellitus. However, the precise molecular mechanism of OVC efficiency remains poorly defined. Since inorganic vanadium compounds have been found to activate several key components of the insulin signaling cascade, such as protein kinase B (PKB), the objective of the present study was to investigate if stimulation of PKB and its downstream target glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), are responsible for the more potent insulinomimetic effects of OVC. Among several vanadium compounds tested, vanadium (IV) oxo bis (acetylacetonate) and vanadium (IV) oxo bis(maltolato) markedly induced the phosphorylation of PKB as well as GSK-3beta compared to vanadyl sulfate (VS), an inorganic vanadium salts in Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing the insulin receptor (IR). Furthermore, the OVC were stronger inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity than VS. The higher PTPase inhibitory potential of the OVC was associated with more robust tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins, including the IRbeta subunit and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1). In addition, greater IRS-1/p85alpha interaction was elicited by the OVC than by VS. These data indicate that the higher PTPase inhibitory potential of OVC translates into greater phosphorylation of PKB and GSK-3beta, which, in turn, may contribute to a more potent effect of OVC on glucose homeostasis. 相似文献

pp60
c-src
kinase activity can be increased by phosphotyrosine dephosphorylation or growth factor-dependent phosphorylation reactions. Expression of the transmembrane phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) CD45 has been shown to inhibit growth factor receptor signal transduction (Mooney, RA, Freund, GG, Way, BA and Bordwell, KL (1992) J Biol Chem 267, 23443–23446). Here it is shown that PTPase expression decreased platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-dependant activation of pp60
c-src
but failed to increase hormone independent (basal) pp60
c-src
activity. PDGF-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of its receptor was reduced by approximately 60% in cells expressing the PTPase. In contrast, a change in phosphotyrosine content of pp60
c-src
was not detected in response to PDGF or in PTPase+cells. PDGF increased the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of pp60
c-src
in both control and PTPase+cells but the effect was smaller in PTPase+cells. In anin vitro assay, hormone-stimulate pp60
c-src
autophosphorylation from PTPase+ cells was decreased 64±22%, and substrate phosphorylation by pp60
c-src
was reduced 54±16% compared to controls. Hormone-independent pp60
c-src
kinase activity was unchanged by expression of the PTPase. pp60
c-src
was, however, anin vitro substrate for CD45, being dephosphorylated at both the regulatory (Tyr527) and kinase domain (Tyr416) residues. In addition,in vitro dephosphorylation by CD45 increased pp60
c-src
activity. These findings suggest that the PDGF receptor was anin vivo substrate of CD45 but pp60
c-src
was not. The lack of activation of pp60
c-src
in the presence of expressed PTPase may demonstrate the importance of compartmentalization and/or accessory proteins to PTPase-substrate interactions.Abbreviations PTPase

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated modulation of signal transduction pathways represent an important mechanism of cell injury and barrier dysfunction leading to the development of vascular disorders. Towards understanding the role of ROS in vascular dysfunction, we investigated the effect of diperoxovanadate (DPV), derived from mixing hydrogen peroxide and vanadate, on the activation of phospholipase D (PLD) in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAECs). Addition of DPV to BPAECs in the presence of .05% butanol resulted in an accumulation of [32P] phosphatidylbutanol (PBt) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. DPV also caused an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of several protein bands (Mr 20-200 kD), as determined by western blot analysis with antiphosphotyrosine antibodies. The DPV-induced [32P] PBt-accumulation was inhibited by putative tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as genistein, herbimycin, tyrphostin and by chelation of Ca2+ with either EGTA or BAPTA, however, pretreatment of BPAECs with the inhibitor PKC bisindolylmaleimide showed minimal inhibition. Also down-regulation of PKC and , the major isotypes of PKC in BPAECs, by TPA ( 100 nM, 18 h) did not attenuate the DPV-induced PLD activation. The effects of putative tyrosine kinase and PKC inhibitors were specific as determined by comparing [32P] PBt formation between DPV and TPA. In addition to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate also attenuated DPV-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation and PLD stimulation. These results suggest that oxidation, prevented by reduction with thiol compounds, is involved in DPV-dependent protein tyrosine phosphorylation and PLD activation. 相似文献

The insulin receptor (IR) tyrosine kinase can apparently directly phosphorylate and activate one or more serine kinases. The identities of such serine kinases and their modes of activation are still unclear. We have described a serine kinase (here designated insulin receptor serine (IRS) kinase) from rat liver membranes that co-purifies with IR on wheat germ agglutinin-agarose. The kinase was activated after phosphorylation of the membrane glycoproteins by casein kinase-1, casein kinase-2, or casein kinase-3 (Biochem Biophys Res Commun 171:75–83, 1990). In this study, IRS kinase was further characterized. The presence of vanadate or phosphotyrosine in reaction mixtures was required for activation to be observed. Phosphoserine and phosphothreonine are only about 25% as effective as phosphotyrosine, whereas sodium fluoride and molybdate were ineffective in supporting activation. Vanadate and phosphotyrosine support IRS kinase activation by apparently inhibiting phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases present among the membrane glycoproteins. IR -subunit, myelin basic protein, and microtubule-associated protein-2 are good substrates for IRS kinase. The kinase prefers Mn2+ (Ka=1.3 mM) as a metal cofactor. Mg2+ (Ka=3.3 mM) is only 30% as effective as Mn2+. The kinase activity is stimulated by basic polypeptides, with greater than 30-fold activation achieved with polylysine and protamine. Our results suggest that both serine/threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation are required for activation of IRS kinase. Serine phosphorylation is catalyzed by one of the casein kinases, whereas tyrosine phosphorylation is catalyzed by a membrane tyrosine kinase, possibly IR tyrosine kinase.

Synthetic peptides such as P60stc autophosphorylation site peptides and angiotensin are indiscriminately phosphorylated by protein tyrosine kinases. The observation has led to the general belief that protein tyrosine kinases are highly promiscuous, displaying littlein vitro site specificity. In recent years, evidence has been accumulating to indicate that such a belief requires close examination. Synthetic peptides showing high substrate activity for specific groups of protein tyrosine kinases have been obtained. Systematic modification of certain substrate peptides suggests that kinase substrate determinants reside with specific amino acid residues proximal to the target tyrosine. A number of protein kinases have been shown to be regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation at specific sites by highly specific protein tyrosine kinases. These and other selected biochemical studies that contribute to the evolving view ofin vitro substrate specificity of protein tyrosine kinases are reviewed. 相似文献

We have tested the hypothesis that activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase is due to autophosphorylation of tyrosines 1146, 1150 and 1151 within a putative autoinhibitory domain. A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 1134–1162, with tyrosines substituted by alanine or phenylalanine, of the insulin receptor subunit was tested for its inhibitory potency and specificity towards the tyrosine kinase activity. This synthetic peptide gave inhibition of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of the exogenous substrate poly(Glu, Tyr) with an approximate IC50 of 100 M. Inhibition appeared to be independent of the concentrations of insulin or the substrate poly(Glu, Tyr) but was decreased by increasing concentrations of ATP. This same peptide also inhibited the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase but not a serine/threonine protein kinase. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that this autophosphorylation domain contains an autoinhibitory sequence. (Mol Cell Biochem120: 103–110, 1993)Abbreviations IR

Major Vault Protein of Electric Ray is a Phosphoprotein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The major vault protein is the predominant member of a large cytosolic ribonucleoprotein particle, named vaults. Vaults are abundant in nerve terminals of the electric organ of Torpedo marmorata.Negative staining of isolated vaults reveals particle dimensions of 45 × 65 nm in size. Comparison of the major vault protein (MVP 100) from the two electric ray species Torpedo marmorataand Discopyge ommatareveals few microheterogeneities in amino acid sequence. Potential phosphorylation sites for various protein kinases are highly conserved. Phosphorylation studies demonstrate that the major vault protein of Torpedois a substrate of various protein kinases. MVP100 is phosphorylated by protein tyrosine kinase in vivo and protein kinase C and casein kinase II in vitro. Inhibitors and activators of protein kinases specifically modulate the phosphorylation of MVP 100. 相似文献

The inhibitory action of vanadate towards protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) has been considered as a probable mechanism by which it exerts insulin-like effects. In this study, we have examined thein vivo effects of vanadate on PTPases in the liver of obese Zucker rats, a genetic animal model for obesity and type II diabetes. These animals were characterized by hyperinsulinemia and mild hyperglycemia. The number of insulin receptors were significantly (p<0.01) decreased in liver. After chronic administration of vanadate in obese rats, 80% decrease in the plasma levels of insulin was observed. The insulin receptor numbers were significantly (p<0.01) higher in vanadate-treated obese rats as compared to the untreated ones. The hepatic PTPase activities in cytosolic and particulate fractions, with phosphorylated poly glu:tyr (41) and the insulin receptor peptide (residues 1142–1153) as substrates, increased in obese rats. In vanadate-treated obese rat livers, the PTPase activities in both subcellular fractions with these substrates decreased significantly (p<0.001). The decreases in PTPase activities from these groups of rats were further supported by chromatography on a Mono Q column. These data support the view that inhibition of PTPases plays a role in the insulin-mimetic action of vanadate. 相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate whether large conductance Ca2+‐activated K+ (BK) channels were regulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase. BK current and channel tyrosine phosphorylation level were measured in BK‐HEK 293 cells expressing both functional α‐subunits and the auxiliary β1‐subunits using electrophysiology, immunoprecipitation and Western blotting approaches, respectively, and the function of rat cerebral basilar arteries was determined with a wire myography system. We found that BK current in BK‐HEK 293 cells was increased by the broad spectrum protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor genistein and the selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG556, one of the known tyrphostin. The effect of genistein or AG556 was antagonized by the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitor orthovanadate. On the other hand, orthovanadate or EGF decreased BK current, and the effect was counteracted by AG556. The tyrosine phosphorylation level of BK channels (α‐ and β1‐subunits) was increased by EGF and orthovanadate, while decreased by genistein and AG556, and the reduced tyrosine phosphorylation of BK channels by genistein or AG556 was reversed by orthovanadate. Interestingly, AG556 induced a remarkable enhancement of BK current in rat cerebral artery smooth muscle cells and relaxation of pre‐contracted rat cerebral basilar arteries with denuded endothelium, and these effects were antagonized by the BK channel blocker paxilline or orthovanadate. These results demonstrate that tyrosine phosphorylation of BK channels by EGFR kinase decreases the channel activity, and inhibition of EGFR kinase by AG556 enhances the channel activity and dilates rat cerebral basilar arteries. 相似文献

It is well established that brief episodes of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) [preconditioning (PC)] protect the myocardium from the damage induced by subsequent more prolonged I/R. However, the signaling pathways activated during PC or I/R are not well characterized. In this study, the role of Ras-GTPase, tyrosine kinases (TKs), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Ca2 +/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II) in mediating PC in a perfused rat heart model was investigated. A 40-min episode of global ischemia in perfused rat hearts produced significantly impaired cardiac function, measured as left ventricular developed pressure (Pmax) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), and impaired coronary hemodynamics, measured as coronary flow (CF) and coronary vascular resistance (CVR). PC significantly enhanced cardiac recovery after I/R. Combination of PC and FPT III (Ras-GTPase inhibitor FPT III; 232 ng/min for 6 days) treatment did not produce any additive benefits as compared to PC alone. In contrast, PC-induced improvements in cardiac function after I/R were significantly attenuated by pretreatment with genistein (1mg/kg/day for 6 days), a broad-spectrum inhibitor of TKs, or AG1478 (1mg/kg/day for 6 days), a specific inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase or KN-93 (578 ng/min for 6 days), a CaMK II inhibitor, before PC. These observations suggest that PC and FPT III pretreatment may produce cardioprotection via similar mechanisms. Present results also indicate that activation of TKs and specifically activation of EGFR-mediated TKs and CaMK II-mediated regulation of calcium homeostasis are part of the PC mechanisms that improve recovery after I/R.

We examined the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on the activation of phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. bFGF stimulated both the formations of choline (EC50 was 30 ng/ml) and inositol phosphates (EC50 was 10 ng/ml). Calphostin C, an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), had little effect on the bFGF-induced formation of choline. bFGF stimulated the formation of choline also in PKC down regulated cells. Genistein and methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate, inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases, significantly suppressed the bFGF-induced formation of choline. Sodium orthovanadate, an inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases, enhanced the bFGF-induced formation of choline. In vitro kinase assay for FGF receptors revealed that FGF receptor 1 and 2 were autophosphorylated after FGF stimulation. bFGF dose-dependently stimulated DNA synthesis of these cells. These results strongly suggest that bFGF activates phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D through the activation of tyrosine kinase, but independently of PKC activated by phosphoinositide hydrolysis in osteoblast-like cells. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of a rice cDNA similar to the bovine brain-specific 14-3-3 protein gene 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

We isolated a rice cDNA clone which is similar to the bovine brain-specific 14-3-3 protein (an activator protein of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylase involved in the synthetic pathway of monoamine) gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA indicated a surprising similarity to a potent inhibitor of Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C. DNA blot analysis indicated that this gene is located at more than a single locus in rice genome DNA. Expression of this gene is regulated by external stresses. 相似文献

A Ca2+-dependent protein kinase of Tetrahymena thermophila has been partially purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the enzyme is less than that of similar enzymes (for example protein kinase C), being about 55 kDa. After purification and in the presence of Ca2+ the enzyme activity increased. The promoter of protein kinase C (PKC) activity, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), increased the activity while the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 decreased the activity of the enzyme. The experiments demonstrate the presence, activity and similarity to vertebrate enzymes of a protein kinase at a low level of phylogeny. 相似文献
