Enzymatic dephosphorylation of endogenous and exogenous dolichyl monophosphate by calf brain membranes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Calf brain membranes have been shown to enzymatically dephosphorylate endogenous and partially purified, exogenous dolichyl [32P]monophosphate. The properties and specificity of the dolichyl monophosphatase activity have been studied by following the release of [32P]phosphate from exogenous dolichyl [32P]monophosphate added in a dispersion with Triton X-100. The calf brain phosphatase (1) is inhibited by Mn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, fluoride, and phosphate; (2) exhibits a neutral pH optimum; and (3) has an apparent Km of 200 μm for dolichyl monophosphate. Dolichyl monophosphatase activity can be distinguished from phosphatidate phosphatase on the basis of their responses to fluoride and phosphate. Based on differential thermolability and the effects of divalent cations and EDTA, the calf brain dolichyl monophosphatase can also be discriminated from the general phosphatase activity assayed with p-nitrophenyl phosphate. Dolichyl monophosphatase activity can be solubilized by treating microsomes with Triton X-100. The enzymatic dephosphorylation of exogenous dolichyl [32P]monophosphate catalyzed by particulate and detergent-solubilized preparations is negligibly affected by equimolar concentrations of ATP and an assortment of phosphomonoesters, including phosphatidic acid and hexadecyl phosphate. A reduction of approximately 40% in dolichyl monophosphatase activity is observed in the presence of equimolar amounts of retinyl monophosphate. Overall, these results represent good evidence for the presence of a neutral polyisoprenyl monophosphatase in central nervous tissue. 相似文献

Radiolabeled forskolin, 7-(3H-acetyl)-forskolin, was synthesized to explore interactions between forskolin and bovine brain membrane preparations. The radiolabeled derivative was chemically characterized, and found to be indistinquishable from unlabeled forskolin in its ability to stimulate bovine brain adenylate cyclase. Preliminary binding data demonstrated that binding of 7-(3H-acetyl)-forskolin to membranes was concentration dependent. However, competition binding studies using a constant concentration of 7-(3H-acetyl)-forskolin with increasing levels of unlabeled forskolin showed enhanced binding of the labeled derivative. This suggested that 7-(3H-acetyl)-forskolin was degraded by membranes and protected by native forskolin. Incubation of forskolin with membranes and analysis of the products by thin layer chromatography and mass spectroscopy showed the formation of 7-desacetylforskolin. The deacetylation of forskolin was monitored by quantitating the release of [3H]acetate from 7-(3H-acetyl)-forskolin. The reaction was linear with time and protein concentration. These data illustrate that forskolin can be degraded by membranes and indicate that ligand binding studies using labeled forskolin and membrane preparations should be cautiously interpreted. 相似文献

The chick oviduct system has been employed to study whether dolichol esters might serve as a storage form of dolichol to be converted to dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P) during periods when Dol-P levels increase. Chicken oviduct membranes catalyze the hydrolysis of dolichyl-[14C]oleate; the reaction is dependent on detergent (0.04% NP-40 is optimal), is unaffected by divalent cations and EDTA, and exhibits a pH optimum of 6.0. Oviduct membranes also hydrolyze cholesteryl-[14C]oleate, which exhibits similar properties except the pH optimum is 5.0-5.5. Neither Dol-[14C]palmitate nor Chol-[14C]palmitate is hydrolyzed by membranes. Chol-ester hydrolysis is more sensitive to heat-denaturation than is Dol-ester hydrolysis. Esterase activity was assayed in membranes prepared from immature chicks, chicks treated with diethylstilbestrol, chicks withdrawn from diethylstilbestrol, and mature hens. The highest esterase specific activity was observed in membranes obtained from chicks withdrawn from hormone. In order to characterize the fatty acid composition of Dol-esters they were purified from mature hen oviducts by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and Fractogel ORPVA-6000, reverse-phase HPLC, and TLC. About 15-25% of oviduct dolichol is in the esterified form. Fatty acid analysis revealed that approximately 85% of the dolichol was esterified to oleic acid. The fact that the highest esterase activity is found in membranes from chicks withdrawn from hormone and that only 20% of the dolichol is esterified argues against a role for Dol-esters as a reservoir of dolichol for conversion to Dol-P. 相似文献

Incubation of synthetic dolichyl pyrophosphate tetrasaccharide and GDP-[14C]mannose with calf pancreas microsomes gave three lipid-linked oligosaccharides, which could be extracted with chloroform/methanol (2:1) and separated on silica gel plates. The fastest migrating product was characterized as dolichyl pyrophosphate pentasaccharide based on gel filtration and high pressure liquid chromatography. The formation of the pentasaccharide-lipid was greatly stimulated by addition of synthetic tetrasaccharide-lipid and required the presence of Triton X-100. Dolichyl phosphate mannose could not replace GDP-mannose as a sugar donor. The structure of the pentasaccharide was determined by degradation with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D, acetolysis, alpha-D-mannosidase, and concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography, showing that the following reaction was taking place: alpha-D-Manp-(1 leads to 3)-beta-D-Manp-(1 leads to 4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 leads to 4)-alpha-D-GlcpNAcPPDol + GDPMan leads to GDP + alpha-D-Manp-(1 leads to 3)-[alpha-D-Manp-(1 leads to 6)]-beta-D-Manp-(1 leads to 4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 leads to 4)-alpha-D-GlcpNAcPPDol. The mannosyltransferase was partially characterized. 相似文献

The current-voltage steady-state characteristics, cyclic voltammograms and capacitance-voltage steady-state relationships of bilayer lipid membranes made from dioleoylphosphatidylcholine or its mixtures with dolichyl-12 phosphate have been studied. Sustained fluctuations of the capacitance of dolichyl phosphate modified bilayers under applied voltage were observed. The results suggest that the dynamics of dolichyl phosphate molecules in membranes can be regulated by transmembrane electrical potential. 相似文献

The interaction of zinc with different forms of DNA (λ phage DNA, ss-oligo, ds-oligo) and Mung Bean Nuclease was studied by voltammetric techniques in order to investigate the mechanism of DNA cleavage catalyzed by a zinc metalloenzyme. Stoichiometry, dissociation constant, zinc binding sites and functions were determined for these systems. Two zinc ions were found to be involved in stabilization of a 19 mer ds-oligodeoxyribonucleotide, which was synthesized by the phosphoramidite method and used as a DNA model in the studies. Three zinc ions (Zn1, Zn2, and Zn3), which have different roles in ds-oligo cleavage, were identified in the active site of Mung Bean Nuclease. A concerted SN2 mechanism, which assigns a catalytic function to Zn2 and structural functions to Zn1 and Zn3, was proposed. The hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds proceeds with inversion of configuration at the phosphorus center, forming a pentacoordinate transition state, which is stabilized by an arginine. Zn2 supplies the nucleophile, which is oriented by an aspartic acid, and activates the ds-oligo by its coordination to the phosphate free oxygen of the phosphodiester bond. Zn1 and Zn3 ions, besides stabilizing the tertiary structure of Mung Bean Nuclease, bind to the leaving group, blocking the cleavage reverse reaction. 相似文献

Dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate formed in calf pancreas microsomes was compared to dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate, a chemical synthesis of which is described. Jack bean alpha-mannosidase, which converted citronellyl alpha-D-mannopyranosyl phosphate, but not its beta anomer, to citronellyl phosphate and D-mannose, was effective in releasing D-[14C]mannose from dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]manopyranosyl phosphate in the presence of detergent. In contrast, alpha-mannosidase did not cause any significant release from the pancreatic dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate. Alkali treatment (0.1 M NaOH in propanol at 65 and 90 degrees) degraded both dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphates with the formation of water-soluble 14C-labeled products. The pattern of 14C-labeled breakdown products formed from the synthetic dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate differed from that obtained from the pancreatic dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate. Dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate yielded several 14C-labeled products, including a trace of D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate, and an acidic fraction which appeared to result from degradation of D-[14C]mannose. The pancreatic dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate gave various products, depending on the temperature of the reaction: at 90 degrees, 20 to 30% of the radioactivity was found in D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate and the rest in acidic breakdown products; at 65 degrees, about two-thirds of the radioactivity was recovered in a compound which behaved as D-MANNOSE 2-PHOSPHATE, A Product characteristic of a beta-linked D-mannosyl residue. It is concluded that the pancreatic compound is dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate. 相似文献

The effect of dolichyl monophosphate on the permeability properties of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers to alkaline cations, Ca2+ and glucose has been determined by stop-flow spectrophotometry. The results show that, in con trast to free dolichol effects, the monophosphate derivative increased the permeability following a decreasing order of the permeating particle size. Phase diagrams indicate that dolichyl monophosphate is fully incorporated into the phosphatidylcholine bilayer around 0.75% weight/weight ratio. For these ratios, the permeation of ions is higher in the gel than in the liquid crystalline state. 相似文献

During protein N-glycosylation, dolichyl pyrophosphate (Dol-P-P) is discharged in the lumenal monolayer of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Dol-P-P is then cleaved to Dol-P by Dol-P-P phosphatase (DPPase). Studies with the yeast mutant cwh8Delta, lacking DPPase activity, indicate that recycling of Dol-P produced by DPPase contributes significantly to the pool of Dol-P utilized for lipid intermediate biosynthesis on the cytoplasmic leaflet. Whether Dol-P formed in the lumen diffuses directly back to the cytoplasmic leaflet or is first dephosphorylated to dolichol has not been determined. Incubation of sealed ER vesicles from calf brain with acetyl-Asn-Tyr-Thr-NH(2), an N-glycosylatable peptide, to generate Dol-P-P in the lumenal monolayer produced corresponding increases in the rates of Man-P-Dol, Glc-P-Dol, and GlcNAc-P-P-Dol synthesis in the absence of CTP. No changes in dolichol kinase activity were observed. When streptolysin-O permeabilized CHO cells were incubated with an acceptor peptide, N-glycopeptide synthesis, requiring multiple cycles of the dolichol pathway, occurred in the absence of CTP. The results obtained with sealed microsomes and CHO cells indicate that Dol-P, formed from Dol-P-P, returns to the cytoplasmic leaflet where it can be reutilized for lipid intermediate biosynthesis, and dolichol kinase is not required for recycling. It is possible that the flip-flopping of the carrier lipid is mediated by a flippase, which would provide a mechanism for the recycling of Dol-P derived from Man-P-Dol-mediated reactions in N-, O-, and C-mannosylation of proteins, GPI anchor assembly, and the three Glc-P-Dol-mediated reactions in Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-P-P-Dol (DLO) biosynthesis. 相似文献

Incubating white matter membranes with UDP-N-acetyl-[14C]glucosamine in the presence of Mg2+ and AMP resulted in the labeling of two major glycolipids, a minor glycolipid and several membrane-associated glycoproteins. The addition of AMP protected the labeled sugar nucleotide from degradation by a membrane-bound sugar nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity. While no labeled oligosaccharide lipid was recovered in a CHCl3CH3OHH2O (10:10:3) extract after incubating with only UDP-N-acetyl-[14C] glucosamine, Mg2+, and AMP, the inclusion of unlabeled GDP-mannose led to the formation of an N-acetyl-[14C]glucosamine-labeled oligosaccharide lipid that was soluble in CHCl3CH3OHH2O (10:10:3). The [GlcNAc-14C]oligosaccharide unit was released by treatment with 0.1 N HCl in 80% tetrahydrofuran at 50 °C for 30 min and appears to have the same molecular size as the lipid-linked [mannose-14C] oligosaccharide, formed enzymatically by white matter membranes as judged by their elution behavior on Bio-Gel P-6. The incorporation of N-acetyl-[14C]glucosamine into glycolipid was stimulated by exogenous dolichol monophosphate, but inhibited by UMP or tunicamycin, a glucosamine-containing antibiotic. Although UMP and tunicamycin drastically inhibited the labeling of glycolipid, these compounds had very little effect on the labeling of glycoproteins. The major glycolipids have the chemical and Chromatographic characteristics of N-acetylglucosaminylpyrophosphoryldolichol and N,N′-diacetylchitobiosylpyrophosphoryldolichol. When the labeled glycoproteins were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, four labeled polypeptides were observed, having apparent molecular weights of 145,000, 105,000, 54,000, and 35,000. Virtually all of the N-acetyl-[14C]glucosamine was released when the labeled glycopeptides, produced by pronase digestion, were incubated with an exo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase, indicating that all of the N-acetyl-[14C]glucosamine incorporated under these conditions is attached to white matter membrane glycoproteins at nonreducing termini. 相似文献

Influence of dolichyl phosphate on permeability and stability of bilayer lipid membranes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ionic permeability coefficients, ionic transference numbers, activation energy of ion transport and breakdown voltage of bilayer lipid membranes made from dioleoylphosphatidylcholine or its mixtures with dolichyl 12-phosphate have been studied. The electrical measurements showed that dolichyl phosphate in phospholipid bilayers decreases membrane permeability, changes membrane ionic selectivity and increases membrane stability. These results are discussed in light of the aggregation behavior and the intramolecular clustering of a dolichyl phosphate molecule in phospholipid membranes. From our data we suggest that the hydrophilic part of dolichyl phosphate molecules regulates their behavior in membranes. 相似文献

Purified calf thymus DNA polymerase alpha is inactive with native DNA as template and shows little activity with denatured DNA. DNA synthesis with denatured DNA as template is greatly stimulated by the addition of a nuclease which initially copurifies with DNA polymerase but is separated from the polymerase on DEAE-cellulose chromatography. A limit digest of nuclease treated native DNA which is then denatured is replicated 80-95%; extensive replication is also obtained with native DNA partially degraded by pancreatic DNase and then denatured. The product of the reaction with calf thymus nuclease-treated DNA as template is double-stranded DNA with a hairpin (looped back) structure. 相似文献
