Increases in reactive oxygen species and mis-regulation of calcium homeostasis are associated with various physiological conditions and disease states including aging, ischemia, exposure to drugs of abuse, and neurodegenerative diseases. In aged animals, this is accompanied by a reduction in oxidative repair mechanisms resulting in increased methionine oxidation of the calcium signaling protein calmodulin in the brain. Here, we show that oxidation of calmodulin results in an inability to: (1) activate CaMKII; (2) support Thr(286) autophosphorylation of CaMKII; (3) prevent Thr(305/6) autophosphorylation of CaMKII; (4) support binding of CaMKII to the NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor; and (5) compete with alpha-actinin for binding to CaMKII. Moreover, oxidized calmodulin does not efficiently bind calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in rat brain lysates or in vitro. These observations contrast from past experiments performed with oxidized calmodulin and the plasma membrane calcium ATPase, where oxidized calmodulin binds to, and partially activates the PMCA. When taken together, these data suggest that oxidative stress may perturb neuronal and cardiac function via a decreased ability of oxidized calmodulin to bind, activate, and regulate the interactions of CaMKII. 相似文献

Gastric mucosal membranes derived primarily from parietal cells were found to contain endogenous protein kinase systems as well as several phosphate-accepting substrates. One specific membrane protein with a molecular weight of 88 000 was phosphorylated only in the presence of calcium, while the degree of phosphorylation of three other membrane proteins was similarly increased. The activity of the calcium-dependent protein kinase was found to be totally inhibited in the presence of trifluoperazine, a phenothiazine known to specifically inactivate calmodulin. These results suggest that a calmodulin- and calcium-dependent phosphorylation system may be a component of the parietal cell membrane. Phosphorylation of the membrane proteins was not affected by either cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP. The heat-stable inhibitor protein of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase did not inhibit the endogenous protein kinase activity suggesting that the membrane enzyme is not similar to the cytosolic protein kinase. However, the catalytic subunit of the soluble enzyme was capable of phosphorylating a number of membrane proteins indicating that after maximal autophosphorylation of the gastric membranes, phosphate-acceptor sites are still available to the cytosolic cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. 相似文献

A unique feature of neuronal calcium/calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase II (CaM-PK II) is its autophosphorylation. A number of sites are involved and, depending on the in vitro conditions used, three serine and six threonine residues have been tentatively identified as autophosphorylation sites in the alpha subunit. These sites fall into three categories. Primary sites are phosphorylated in the presence of calcium and calmodulin, but under limiting conditions of temperature, ATP, Mg2+, or time. Secondary sites are phosphorylated in the presence of calcium and calmodulin under nonlimiting conditions. Autonomous sites are phosphorylated in the absence of calcium and calmodulin after initial phosphorylation of Thr-286. Mechanisms that lead to a decrease in CaM-PK II autophosphorylation include the thermolability of the enzyme and the activity of protein phosphatases. A range of in vitro inhibitors of CaM-PK II autophosphorylation have recently been identified. Autophosphorylation of CaM-PK II leads to a number of consequences in vitro, including generation of autonomous activity and subcellular redistribution, as well as alterations in conformation, activity, calmodulin binding, substrate specificity, and susceptibility to proteolysis. It is established that CaM-PK II is autophos-phorylated in neuronal cells under basal conditions. Depolarization and/or activation of receptors that lead to an increase in intracellular calcium induces a marked rise in the autophosphorylation of CaM-PK II in situ. The incorporation of phosphate is mainly found on Thr-286, but other sites are also phosphorylated at a slower rate. One consequence of the increase in CaM-PK II autophosphorylation in situ is an increase in the level of autonomous kinase activity. It is proposed that the formation of an autonomous enzyme is only one of the consequences of CaM-PK II autophosphorylation in situ and that some of the other consequences observed in vitro will also be seen. CaM-PK II is involved in the control of neuronal plasticity, including neurotransmitter release and long-term modulation of postreceptor events. In order to understand the function of CaM-PK II, it will be essential to ascertain more fully the mechanisms of its autophosphorylation in situ, including especially the sites involved, the consequences of this autophosphorylation for the kinase activity, and the relationships between the state of CaM-PK II autophosphorylation and the physiological events within neurons. 相似文献

A Dictyostelium myosin light chain kinase has been purified approximately 15,000-fold to near homogeneity. The purified kinase is a single polypeptide of approximately 34 kDa that phosphorylates only the 18-kDa Dictyostelium myosin regulatory light chain and itself among substrates tested. The enzyme was purified largely by ammonium sulfate fractionation and hydrophobic (butyl) interaction chromatography. Analysis using polyclonal antibodies raised against the purified 34-kDa protein confirms that this protein is responsible for myosin light chain kinase activity. Protein microsequence of the 34-kDa protein reveals conserved protein kinase sequences. The purified Dictyostelium myosin light chain kinase exhibits a Km for Dictyostelium myosin of 4 microM and a Vmax of 8 nmol/min/mg. Unlike other characterized myosin light chain kinases, this enzyme is not regulated by calcium/calmodulin. Western blot analysis demonstrates that the purified kinase is not a proteolytic fragment that has lost calcium/calmodulin regulation. The Dictyostelium myosin light chain kinase activity is not directly regulated by cyclic nucleotides. However, this kinase undergoes an intramolecular autophosphorylation that activates the enzyme. 相似文献

Abstract: A calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase was isolated from retina. The retinal enzyme is composed exclusively of 50-kilodalton (kD) subunits and has a molecular mass of approximately 275 kD, in contrast to forebrain calmodulin kinase II, which is composed of 50-kD and 60-kD subunits in a 3:1 ratio and has a molecular mass of approximately 520 kD. Similar substrate specificities, kinetic properties, capacity to bind calmodulin, and immunoreactivity suggest that the retinal kinase is an isoenzyme of forebrain calmodulin kinase II. Both kinases autophosphorylate in an intramolecular manner; however, auto-phosphorylation has different effects on the activities of the two enzymes. Autophosphorylation of retinal calmodulin kinase converts the enzyme from a calcium/calmodulin-dependent to a calcium/calmodulin-inhibited kinase, with high activity in the absence of calcium, whereas autophosphorylation of the forebrain kinase results in a less active, calcium/calmodulin-independent enzyme. These properties of calmodulin kinase may play an important role in retinal function. 相似文献

Ca+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) is regulated by calcium oscillations, autophosphorylation, and its subunit composition. All four subunit isoforms were detected in gastric fundus and proximal colon smooth muscles by RT-PCR, but only the gamma and delta isoforms are expressed in myocytes. Relative gamma and delta message levels were quantitated by real-time PCR. CaM kinase II protein and Ca2+/calmodulin-stimulated (total) activity levels are higher in proximal colon smooth muscle lysates than in fundus lysates, but Ca2+/calmodulin-independent (autonomous) activity is higher in fundus lysates. CaM kinase II in fundus lysates is relatively unresponsive to Ca2+/calmodulin. Alkaline phosphatase decreased CaM kinase II autonomous activity in fundus lysates and restored its responsiveness to Ca2+/calmodulin. Acetylcholine (ACh) increased autonomous CaM kinase II activity in fundus and proximal colon smooth muscles in a time- and dose-dependent manner. KN-93 enhanced ACh-induced fundus contractions but inhibited proximal colon contractions. The different properties of CaM kinase II from fundus and proximal colon smooth muscles suggest differential regulation of its autophosphorylation and activity in tonic and phasic gastrointestinal smooth muscles. 相似文献

Regulation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II by Ca2+/calmodulin-independent autophosphorylation 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The autophosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-KII) results in the generation of kinase activity that is largely Ca2+/CaM-independent. We report that continued Ca2+/CaM-independent autophosphorylation of CaM-KII results in the generation of distinct phosphopeptides as identified by high performance liquid chromatography and enzymatic properties that are different than those observed for Ca2+/CaM-dependent autophosphorylation. These Ca2+/CaM-independent properties include (a) increased catalytic activity, (b) higher substrate affinity for the phosphorylation of synapsin I, and (c) decreased CaM-binding to both CaM-KII subunits as analyzed by gel overlays. Our results indicate that the autophosphorylation of only one subunit per holoenzyme is required to generate the Ca2+/CaM-independent CaM-KII. We suggest a two-step process by which autophosphorylation regulates CaM-KII. Step I requires Ca2+/CaM and underlies initial kinase activation. Step II involves continued autophosphorylation of the Ca2+/CaM-independent kinase and results in increased affinity for its substrate synapsin I and decreased affinity for calmodulin. These results indicate a complex mechanism through which autophosphorylation of CaM-KII may regulate its activity in response to transient fluctuations in intracellular calcium. 相似文献

A calcium-dependent protein kinase activity from suspension-cultured soybean cells (Glycine max L. Wayne) was shown to be dependent on calcium but not calmodulin. The concentrations of free calcium required for half-maximal histone H1 phosphorylation and autophosphorylation were similar (≈2 micromolar). The protein kinase activity was stimulated 100-fold by ≥10 micromolar-free calcium. When exogenous soybean or bovine brain calmodulin was added in high concentration (1 micromolar) to the purified kinase, calcium-dependent and -independent activities were weakly stimulated (≤2-fold). Bovine serum albumin had a similar effect on both activities. The kinase was separated from a small amount of contaminating calmodulin by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After renaturation the protein kinase autophosphorylated and phosphorylated histone H1 in a calcium-dependent manner. Following electroblotting onto nitrocellulose, the kinase bound 45Ca2+ in the presence of KCl and MgCl2, which indicates that the kinase itself is a high-affinity calcium-binding protein. Also, the mobility of one of two kinase bands in SDS gels was dependent on the presence of calcium. Autophosphorylation of the calmodulin-free kinase was inhibited by the calmodulin-binding compound N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulfonamide (W-7), showing that the inhibition of activity by W-7 is independent of calmodulin. These results show that soybean calcium-dependent protein kinase represents a new class of protein kinase which requires calcium but not calmodulin for activity. 相似文献

The existence of two molecular switches regulating plant chimeric Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CCaMK), namely the C-terminal visinin-like domain acting as Ca(2+)-sensitive molecular switch and calmodulin binding domain acting as Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation-sensitive molecular switch, has been described (Sathyanarayanan, P. V., Cremo, C. R., and Poovaiah, B. W. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 30417-30422). Here we report the identification of Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation site of CCaMK by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight-mass spectrometry. Thr(267) was confirmed as the Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation site by post-source decay experiments and by site-directed mutagenesis. The purified T267A mutant form of CCaMK did not show Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation, autophosphorylation-dependent variable calmodulin affinity, or Ca(2+)/calmodulin stimulation of kinase activity. Sequence comparison of CCaMK from monocotyledonous plant (lily) and dicotyledonous plant (tobacco) suggests that the autophosphorylation site is conserved. This is the first identification of a phosphorylation site specifically responding to activation by second messenger system (Ca(2+) messenger system) in plants. Homology modeling of the kinase and calmodulin binding domain of CCaMK with the crystal structure of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 1 suggests that the Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation site is located on the surface of the kinase and far from the catalytic site. Analysis of Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation with increasing concentration of CCaMK indicates the possibility that the Ca(2+)-stimulated phosphorylation occurs by an intermolecular mechanism. 相似文献

Plasma membrane vesicles from pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings contain an autophosphorylating calcium-activated protein kinase of relative molecular weight 18,000 (phosphoprotein 18, pp 18). Pulse chase analysis revealed that pp 18 autophosphorylation exhibited very rapid turnover. pp 18 was the only detectable plasma membrane protein to have this property. pp 18 has been highly purified by affinity chromatography and the final preparation contains peptides of relative molecular weight 67,000, 48,000, and 18,000. Highly purified pp 18 still showed rapid cycling of autophosphorylated phosphate attached to pp 18. Turnover of pp 18 autophosphorylation was accelerated by ADP, but this effect did not appear to be the back reaction of the kinase since inorganic phosphate accumulation is increased by ADP. A rapid cycling of phosphorylation is an ideal control point in signal transduction. 相似文献

In highly purified rat liver plasma membrane preparations, membrane-bound calmodulin was phosphorylated by a membrane-bound protein kinase using [gamma-32P]ATP as phosphate donor. Maximum phosphorylation of calmodulin occurred in the absence of calcium ion, but was significantly decreased in its presence. Plasma membrane-bound calmodulin was identified by the following criteria: (i) extraction from the membrane by EGTA, (ii) stimulation of the activity of the Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent enzyme, (3':5'AMP)-phosphodiesterase, by the EGTA extract, and (iii) electrophoretic comigration of EGTA-extracted protein with standard bovine brain calmodulin, both in the presence and the absence of Ca2+. Phosphorylation of the plasma membrane-bound calmodulin was shown by electrophoretic comigration of the 32P-labelled molecule with bovine brain calmodulin, the absence of phosphorylation of this protein band in calmodulin-depleted membranes, and a Western blot of the phosphorylated band using a calmodulin antibody. Treatment of plasma membrane preparations with sheep anticalmodulin serum prevented the phosphorylation of the calmodulin band. Phosphocalmodulin, which could be partially extracted from the membrane by EGTA, comigrated with bovine brain calmodulin in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 相似文献

The role of autophosphorylation in activation of the type II calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Autophosphorylation of the type II calmodulin-dependent protein kinase is known to remove the dependence of this enzyme on Ca2+ and calmodulin. The enzymatic activity in the presence of Ca2+, on the other hand, was reported to be unaffected or decreased by this interconversion. The role of autophosphorylation in the kinase reaction was reinvestigated using short assay times and low ATP concentrations to decrease the extent and rate of this process. Under these conditions, the ATP dependence of the kinase reaction with syntide-2 as the substrate (but not the autophosphorylation reaction) exhibited kinetic cooperativity due to a lag in the progress curve of syntide-2 conversion. Partial autophosphorylation of the protein kinase prior to phosphorylation of the peptide substrate completely abolished this hysteretic response without affecting the final rate of substrate conversion. These observations suggest that autophosphorylation is an obligatory step in the response of this kinase to activation by calmodulin. 相似文献

Initial autophosphorylation of multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) occurs at Thr286 (the "autonomy" site) and converts the kinase from a Ca(2+)-dependent to a partially Ca(2+)-independent or autonomous enzyme. After removal of Ca2+/calmodulin, the autonomous kinase undergoes a "burst" of inhibitory autophosphorylation at sites distinct from the autonomy site which may be masked in the presence of bound calmodulin. This burst of Ca(2+)-independent autophosphorylation blocks the ability of calmodulin to activate the kinase. We have used site-directed mutagenesis to replace putative inhibitory autophosphorylation sites within the calmodulin binding domain of recombinant alpha-CaM kinase with nonphosphorylatable alanines and examined the effects on autophosphorylation, kinase activity, and calmodulin binding. Although prominent Ca(2+)-independent autophosphorylation occurs within the calmodulin binding domain at Thr305, Thr306, and Ser314 in wild-type alpha-CaM kinase, the inhibitory effect on kinase activity and calmodulin binding is retained in mutants lacking any one of these three sites. However, when both Thr305 and Thr306 are converted to alanines the kinase does not display inhibition of either activity or calmodulin binding. Autophosphorylation at either Thr305 or Thr306 is therefore sufficient to block both binding and activation of the kinase by Ca2+/calmodulin. Thr306 is also slowly autophosphorylated in a basal reaction in the continuous absence of Ca2+/calmodulin. Autophosphorylation of Thr306 by the kinase in either its basal or autonomous state suggests that in the absence of bound calmodulin, the region of the autoregulatory domain surrounding Thr306, rather than the region near the autonomy site, lies nearest the peptide substrate binding site of the kinase. 相似文献

The phosphorylation of myelin (basic protein) purified from rabbit brain was markedly stimulated by exogenously added calmodulin in the presence of calcium and inhibited by W-7(N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide), a calmodulin interacting agent, in a dose-dependent fashion. However, exogenously added myelin basic protein free from protein kinase activity could not serve as a substrate of this calmodulin dependent protein kinase, suggesting that this kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of the enzyme-substrate complex. These results suggest that a calmodulin-dependent protein kinase complex with the substrate (basic protein) is located in the myelin membrane of the central nervous system. 相似文献

Activation of death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) occurs via dephosphorylation of Ser-308 and subsequent association of calcium/calmodulin. In this study, we confirmed the existence of the alternatively spliced human DAPK-beta, and we examined the levels of DAPK autophosphorylation and DAPK catalytic activity in response to tumor necrosis factor or ceramide. It was found that DAPK is rapidly dephosphorylated in response to tumor necrosis factor or ceramide and then subsequently degraded via proteasome activity. Dephosphorylation and activation of DAPK are shown to temporally precede its subsequent degradation. This results in an initial increase in kinase activity followed by a decrease in DAPK expression and activity. The decline in DAPK expression is paralleled with increased caspase activity and cell apoptosis. These results suggest that the apoptosis regulatory activities mediated by DAPK are controlled both by phosphorylation status and protein stability. 相似文献

Purification and properties of a multifunctional calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase from rat pancreas 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (Ca/calmodulin protein kinase) was purified from rat pancreas using hydrophobic chromatography followed by gel filtration and affinity chromatography. Ca/calmodulin protein kinase from pancreas resembled previously described multifunctional Ca/calmodulin protein kinases from other tissues with respect to substrate specificity, autophosphorylation on serine and threonine residues, and catalytic and hydrodynamic properties. While Ca/calmodulin protein kinase from other tissues contains subunits of 53-60 kDa with variable proportions of a smaller 50-52 kDa subunit, pancreatic Ca/calmodulin protein kinase was found to contain a single component of 51 kDa. Experiments mixing brain Ca/calmodulin protein kinase with pancreatic homogenate suggest that the absence of a larger subunit in the pancreatic Ca/calmodulin protein kinase is not due to proteolytic degradation during enzyme preparation. Ca/calmodulin protein kinase binding to 125I-labeled calmodulin in solution was demonstrated using the photoaffinity cross-linker, N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidobenzoate. 125I-labeled calmodulin binding to Ca/calmodulin protein kinase was also demonstrated using filters containing Ca/calmodulin protein kinase transferred from polyacrylamide gels after two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Finally, the ribosomal substrate for Ca/calmodulin protein kinase was identified as the ribosomal protein, S6. The purification procedure presented in this study promises to be useful in characterizing Ca/calmodulin protein kinase in other tissues and in clarifying the role of these enzymes in cellular function. 相似文献

Global Forebrain Ischemia Induces a Posttranslational Modification of Multifunctional Calcium- and Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase II 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The activity of multifunctional calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) has recently been shown to be inhibited by transient global ischemia. To investigate the nature of ischemia-induced inhibition of the enzyme, CaM kinase II was purified to greater than 1,000-fold from brains of control and ischemic gerbils. The characteristics of CaM kinase II from control and ischemic preparations were compared by numerous parameters. Kinetic analysis of purified control and ischemic CaM kinase II was performed for autophosphorylation properties, ATP, magnesium, calcium, and calmodulin affinity, immunoreactivity, and substrate recognition. Ischemia induced a reproducible inhibition of CaM kinase II activity, which could not be overcome by increasing the concentration of any of the reaction parameters. Ischemic CaM kinase II was not different from control enzyme in affinity for calmodulin, Ca2+, Mg2+, or exogenously added substrate or rate of autophosphorylation. CaM kinase II isolated from ischemic gerbils displayed decreased immunoreactivity with a monoclonal antibody (immunoglobulin G3) directed toward the beta subunit of the enzyme. In addition, ischemia caused a significant decrease in affinity of CaM kinase II for ATP when measured by extent of autophosphorylation. To characterize further the decrease in ATP affinity of CaM kinase II, the covalent-binding ATP analog 8-azido-adenosine-5'-[alpha-32P]triphosphate was used. Covalent binding of 25 microM azido-ATP was decreased 40.4 +/-12.3% in ischemic CaM kinase II when compared with control enzyme (n = 5; p less than 0.01 by paired Student's t test). Thus, CaM kinase II levels for ischemia and control fractions were equivalent by protein staining, percent recovery, and calmodulin binding but were significantly different by immunoreactivity and ATP binding. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that ischemia induces a posttranslational modification that alters ATP binding in CaM kinase II and that results in an apparent decrease in enzymatic activity. 相似文献

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ (PI3Kγ) has been implicated in a variety of cellular signaling processes. It is a multifunctional enzyme with lipid and protein kinase activity that also acts as a scaffold protein. Although it is well known that membrane recruitment is essential for the phosphorylation of phosphoinositides, the cellular localization of PI3Kγ as a protein kinase remains unclear. It has merely been described that PI3Kγ protein kinase activity leading to MAPK activation seems to be restricted to a cytosolic localization. Here, we demonstrate that a hybrid-PI3Kγ having protein kinase, but not lipid kinase activity shows a similar cellular distribution with a high membrane association and comparable liposome binding behavior to wild-type PI3Kγ. Binding of PI3Kγ to liposomes mimicking the natural plasma membrane slightly stimulates autophosphorylation of PI3Kγ. However, liposomes containing an unphysiologically high amount of PI inhibit autophosphorylation of PI3Kγ. Finally, PI3Kγ bound to membrane fragments does not show autophosphorylation which is possibly due to protein–protein-interactions at the plasma membrane. This indicates that not only MAPK activation, but PI3Kγ protein kinase activity in general is localized in the cytosol. 相似文献

Plasma membrane vesicles prepared from unadhered monocytes: Characterization of calcium transport and the calcium ATPase 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
We have purified unadhered human monocytes in sufficient quantities to prepare monocyte plasma membrane vesicles and study vesicular calcium transport. Monocytes were isolated from plateletpheresis residues by counterflow centrifugal elutriation. By combining this source and procedure, 7 x 10(8) monocytes of over 90% purity were obtained. The membranes, isolated on a sucrose step gradient, had an 18-fold enrichment in Na,K-ATPase, a 29-fold diminution of succinate dehydrogenase activity and were vesicular on transmission electron micrographs. The membrane vesicles loaded with oxalate accumulated calcium only in the presence of Mg and ATP. Calcium uptake did not occur if ATP was replaced by any of five nucleotide phosphates or if Mg was omitted. Calcium transport had a maximal velocity of 4 pmoles calcium/micrograms vesicle protein/min and a Km for calcium of 0.53 microM. The ionophore A23187 completely inhibited calcium accumulation while 5 mM sodium cyanide and 10 microM ouabain had no effect. A calcium-activated ATPase was present in the same plasma membrane vesicles. The calcium ATPase had a maximal velocity of 18.0 pmoles calcium/micrograms vesicle protein/min and a Km for calcium of 0.60 microM. Calcium-activated ATPase activity was absent if Mg was omitted or if (gamma - 32P) GTP replaced (gamma - 32P) ATP. Monocyte plasma membranes that were stripped of endogenous calmodulin by EGTA treatment showed a reduced level of calcium uptake and calcium ATPase activity. The addition of exogenous calmodulin restored the transport activity to that of unstripped monocyte plasma membranes. Thus, monocyte plasma membrane vesicles contain a highly specific, ATP-dependent calcium transport system and a calcium-ATPase with similar high calcium affinities. 相似文献
