The unfolding of the recombinant regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase I was followed by monitoring the intrinsic protein fluorescence. Unfolding proceeds in at least two stages. First, the quenching of fluorescence due to cAMP binding is abolished at relatively low levels of urea (less than 2 M) and is observed as an increase in intensity at 340 nm. The high-affinity binding of cAMP is retained in 3 M urea even though the quenching is lost. The second stage of unfolding, presumably representing unfolding of the polypeptide chain, is seen as a shift in lambda max from 340 to 353 nm. The midpoint concentration, Cm, for this process is 5.0 M. Cyclic AMP binding activity is lost at a half-maximal urea concentration of 3.5 M and precedes the shift in lambda max. Unfolding of the protein in the presence of urea was fully reversible; furthermore, the presence of excess levels of cAMP stabilized the regulatory subunit. A free energy value (delta GDH2O) of 7.1 +/- 0.2 kcal/mol was calculated for the native form of the protein when denaturation was induced with either urea or guanidine hydrochloride. Iodide quenching of tryptophan fluorescence was used to elucidate the number of tryptophan residues accessible during various stages of the unfolding process. In the native cAMP-bound form of the regulatory subunit, only one of the three tryptophans in the regulatory subunit is quenched by iodide while more than two tryptophans can be quenched with iodide in the presence of 3 M urea. 相似文献

Interchain disulfide bonding in the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase I 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The two protomers of the purified regulatory subunit from porcine cAMP-dependent protein kinase I have been shown to be covalently cross-linked by interchain disulfide bonding. Limited proteolysis which cleaves the polypeptide chain into two fragments demonstrated that the disulfide bonding was associated exclusively with the fragment that corresponded to the NH2-terminal region of the polypeptide chain. This NH2-terminal fragment accounted for approximately 15 to 20% of the molecule. The disulfide bonding was further characterized by alkylating the cysteines in the native regulatory subunit. Following oxidation with performic acid, each regulatory subunit contained 7 cysteic acid residues; however, under denaturing conditions, but without prior reduction, only 5 cysteine residues could be alkylated with iodoacetic acid. Following limited proteolysis, all five of these cysteines were associated with the larger COOH-terminal, cAMP binding domain. In contrast, if the denatured subunit was first reduced prior to alkylation, all 7 cysteine residues were alkylated. The 2 cysteines that were only accessible to alkylation after prior reduction were both associated with the NH2-terminal end of the polypeptide chain ultimately with a 5,400 peptide. Alkylation of the isolated, denatured NH2-terminal domain with iodoacetic acid resulted in no covalent modification unless the fragment was first reduced with dithiothreitol. The NH2-terminal and COOH-terminal domains were shown to be linked by a region of the polypeptide chain that is rich in both proline and arginine. It is the arginine-rich site that is readily prone to proteolytic cleavage. 相似文献

Inhibitory effect of the regulatory subunit of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase on phosphoprotein phosphatase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The regulatory subunit of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (RI) from rabbit skeletal muscle inhibited the activity of a low molecular weight phosphoprotein phosphatase. The inhibition was concentration and time dependent. A maximum inhibition, about 70%, was observed at 2 microM of RI with an apparent Ki of 0.8 microM. Inhibition was associated with a decrease in Vmax with no change in Km for substrate, phosphorylase a. On the other hand, cAMP-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme or its catalytic subunit was without any effect. The inhibition of phosphoprotein phosphatase by RI may be of physiological significance since the dissociation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase by cAMP would result in a simultaneous increase in the phosphorylation and decrease in the dephosphorylation rates of target proteins. 相似文献

The human X chromosome-encoded protein kinase X (PrKX) belongs to the family of cAMP-dependent protein kinases. The catalytically active recombinant enzyme expressed in COS cells phosphorylates the heptapeptide Kemptide (LRRASLG) with a specific activity of 1.5 micromol/(min.mg). Using surface plasmon resonance, high affinity interactions were demonstrated with the regulatory subunit type I (RIalpha) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (KD = 10 nM) and the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor (KD = 15 nM), but not with the type II regulatory subunit (RIIalpha, KD = 2.3 microM) under physiological conditions. Kemptide and autophosphorylation activities of PrKX are strongly inhibited by the RIalpha subunit and by protein kinase inhibitor in vitro, but only weakly by the RIIalpha subunit. The inhibition by the RIalpha subunit is reversed by addition of nanomolar concentrations of cAMP (Ka = 40 nM), thus demonstrating that PrKX is a novel, type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase that is activated at lower cAMP concentrations than the holoenzyme with the Calpha subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Microinjection data clearly indicate that the type I R subunit but not type II binds to PrKX in vivo, preventing the translocation of PrKX to the nucleus in the absence of cAMP. The RIIalpha subunit is an excellent substrate for PrKX and is phosphorylated in vitro in a cAMP-independent manner. We discuss how PrKX can modulate the cAMP-mediated signal transduction pathway by preferential binding to the RIalpha subunit and by phosphorylating the RIIalpha subunit in the absence of cAMP. 相似文献

Expression cloning of a cDNA encoding the type II regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report here the isolation and sequence of a cDNA for the type II regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) from a lambda gt-11 cDNA library derived from a porcine epithelial cell line (LLC-PK1). The cDNA was detected by immunological screening using an affinity purified polyclonal antibody for bovine RII. DNA sequence analysis of the 467 bp EcoRI insert confirmed the identity of the clone, because the deduced amino acid sequence corresponded to the published sequence for the bovine RII protein. Northern analysis of total RNA from the LLC-PK1 cells indicated a single mRNA species of about 6.0 kb, probably derived from a single copy gene. 相似文献

The type I regulatory subunit (R-I) of rat brain cAMP-dependent protein kinase was expressed in E. coli and site-directed mutagenesis was used to substitute amino acids in the putative cAMP-binding sites. The wild-type recombinant R-I bound 2 mol of cAMP/mol subunit, while two mutant R-Is with a single amino acid substitution in one of the two intrachain cAMP-binding sites (clone N153:a glutamate for Gly-200, and clone C254:an aspartate for Gly-324) bound 1 mol of cAMP/mol subunit. When these two substitutions were made in one mutant, cAMP did not bind to this mutant, indicating that binding of cAMP to N153 or C254 was to their nonmutated sites. Competition experiments with site-selective analogs and dissociation of bound cAMP from mutant R-Is provided evidence for strong intrachain interactions between the two classes of cAMP-binding sites in R-I. 相似文献

Overexpression of the type II regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase eliminates the type I holoenzyme in mouse cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Mammalian tissues and cell lines express two major types of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, PKA-I and PKA-II, which can be distinguished at the molecular level by the presence of either type I or type II regulatory subunits in the holoenzyme. An expression vector for the mouse type II regulatory subunit (RII alpha) was transfected into ras-transformed NIH3T3 (R3T3) cells, which contain approximately equal amounts of both holoenzymes, PKA-I and PKA-II. In RII alpha-overexpressing R3T3 cells, PKA-II levels were increased, and the level of PKA-I declined. The decrease in PKA-I was dependent on the amount of RII alpha expressed, and at high levels of RII alpha expression, PKA-I was completely eliminated. In contrast, overexpression of the type I regulatory subunit (RI alpha) did not alter PKA isozyme levels. We propose that competition between RII alpha and RI alpha for a limited pool of catalytic subunit results in preferential assembly of PKA-II and that significant amounts of PKA-I are formed only if catalytic subunit is present in excess of the RII alpha subunit. The PKA-I isozyme, which is absent in untransformed 3T3 cells, is not essential for the transformed phenotype of R3T3 cells. RII alpha-overexpressing R3T3 cells that are devoid of PKA-I continued to exhibit a transformed phenotype including anchorage-independent growth. Overexpression of RII alpha provides a genetic approach that may prove useful in demonstrating specific functions for the two PKA isozymes in cAMP-dependent signal transduction pathways. 相似文献

The consequences of introducing an autophosphorylation site into the type I regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The type I and type II regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase can be distinguished by autophosphorylation. The type II regulatory subunits have an autophosphorylation site at a proteolytically sensitive hinge region, while the type I regulatory subunits have a pseudophosphorylation site. Only holoenzyme formed with type I regulatory subunits has a high affinity binding site for MgATP. In order to determine the functional consequences of regulatory subunit phosphorylation on interaction with the catalytic subunit, an autophosphorylation site was introduced into the type I regulatory subunit using recombinant DNA techniques. When Ala97 at the hinge region of the type I regulatory subunit was replaced with Ser, the regulatory subunit became a good substrate for the catalytic subunit. Stoichiometric phosphorylation occurred exclusively at Ser97. Radioactivity was incorporated primarily into the recombinant regulatory subunit when catalytic subunit and [gamma-32P]ATP were added to the total bacterial extract. Phosphorylation of the mutant regulatory subunit also occurred readily following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electrophoretic transfer to nitrocellulose. Phosphorylation occurred as an intramolecular event in the absence of cAMP indicating that the hinge region of the regulatory subunit occupies the substrate recognition site of the catalytic subunit in the holoenzyme complex. Holoenzyme formed with both the wild type and mutant regulatory subunits was susceptible to dissociation in the presence of high salt; however, only the native holoenzyme was stabilized by MgATP. In contrast to the wild type holoenzyme, the affinity of the mutant holoenzyme for cAMP was not reduced in the presence of MgATP. Holoenzyme formation also was not facilitated by MgATP. 相似文献

Two isoforms of the regulatory subunit (R) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), named R(myt1) and R(myt2), had been purified in our laboratory from two different tissues of the sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. In this paper, we report the sequences of several peptides obtained from tryptic digestion of R(myt1). As a whole, these sequences showed high homology with regions of type I R subunits from invertebrate and also from mammalian sources, but homology with those of fungal and type II R subunits was much lower, which indicates that R(myt1) can be considered as a type I R isoform. This conclusion is also supported by the following biochemical properties: (1) R(myt1) was proved to have interchain disulfide bonds stabilizing its dimeric structure; (2) it failed to be phosphorylated by the catalytic (C) subunit purified from mussel; (3) it has a higher pI value than that of the R(myt2) isoform; and (4) it showed cross-reactivity with mammalian anti-RIbeta antibody. 相似文献

Studies of functional domains of the regulatory subunit from cAMP-dependent protein kinase isozyme I 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Homogenous regulatory subunit from rabbit skeletal muscle cAMP-dependent protein kinase (isozyme I) was partially hydrolyzed with low (1 g/1300 g) or high (1 g/6 g) concentrations of trypsin. After treatment with low trypsin two main peptides (Mr = 35,000 and 12,000) were produced. The cAMP-binding activity (2 mol cAMP/mol of subunit monomer) was recovered in the monomeric Mr = 35,000 peptide. The ability of either fragment to inhibit catalytic subunit activity was lost. Treatment of the regulatory subunit with a high concentration of trypsin yielded three main fragments (Mr = 32,000, 16,000, and 6,000) which could be resolved by Sephadex G-75 and purified further on DEAE-cellulose columns. One of the peptides (Mr = 32,000) bound 2 mol cAMP/mol fragment. The Mr = 16,000 fragment was very labile and bound cAMP with an undetermined stoichiometry. Cyclic AMP dissociation curves for the native regulatory subunit and its Mr = 32,000 component were similar and suggested the presence of two nonidentical binding sites in each monomer. Using the same procedure, the Mr = 16,000 fragment or homogenous cGMP-dependent protein kinase appeared to contain a single type of binding site. Purified Mr = 32,000 fragment was readily converted to the Mr = 16,000 fragment using high trypsin as assessed by protein bands on SDS-disc gels or by following transfer of radioactivity from Mr = 32,000 peptide covalently labeled with 8-N3-[32P] cAMP to radiolabeled Mr = 16,000 fragment. The smallest regulatory subunit fragment (Mr = 6,000) did not bind cAMP, but was dimeric and could be part of the dimerization domain in the native protein. A model is presented to explain the possible structural-functional relationships of the regulatory subunit. 相似文献

Complementary DNA (cDNA) clones encoding the regulatory subunit of the type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (R-I) were isolated by screening of rat brain cDNA libraries. A 1.5-kilobase (kb) cDNA insert containing the entire coding region was sequenced and full amino acid sequence has been deduced from the nucleotide sequence. The clone encodes for a protein of 380 amino acids that shows 97% homology to the bovine R-I subunit. Northern blot analysis demonstrated two major mRNA species (2.8 and 4.4 kb in size) in rat brain and liver. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of type II regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in intact smooth muscle 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A monoclonal antibody was used to quantitate changes in the extent of phosphorylation of the type II regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in intact bovine tracheal smooth muscle. The autophosphorylated and nonphosphorylated forms of the regulatory subunit (RII) were separated in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and identified by immunoblot analysis. Addition of cAMP to tissue extracts resulted in rapid dephosphorylation of RII (t 1/2 = 20s at 4 degrees C) while addition of MgATP caused complete conversion to the phosphorylated form. Under basal conditions, 56% of RII in intact muscle was phosphorylated when the tissue was homogenized under conditions which fully inhibit protein kinase and phosphatase activities. Incubation with isoproterenol caused a dose-dependent decrease in the phosphorylation state of RII (EC50 = 5 X 10(-8) M). Incubation with high concentrations of isoproterenol, 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine, or forskolin caused maximal decreases in the phosphorylated form to 12-18% of the total RII. The effect of isoproterenol was rapid (t 1/2 = 15 s at 37 degrees C), reversible, and could be blocked with the antagonist propranolol. Contraction of the smooth muscle with K+ or low (less than 1 microM) concentrations of carbachol had no effect on the phosphorylation level. A decrease in the basal phosphorylation level to 41% was observed with 10 microM carbachol which was additive with the dephosphorylation produced by isoproterenol. The time course of isoproterenol-induced dephosphorylation of RII paralleled that of muscle relaxation, consistent with a role of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activation in relaxation of smooth muscle. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Cyclic AMP binding domains possess common structural features yet are diversely coupled to different signaling modules. Each cAMP binding domain receives and transmits a cAMP signal; however, the signaling networks differ even within the same family of regulatory proteins as evidenced by the long-standing biochemical and physiological differences between type I and type II regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. RESULTS: We report the first type II regulatory subunit crystal structure, which we determined to 2.45 A resolution and refined to an R factor of 0.176 with a free R factor of 0.198. This new structure of the type II beta regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase demonstrates that the relative orientations of the two tandem cAMP binding domains are very different in the type II beta as compared to the type I alpha regulatory subunit. Each structural unit for binding cAMP contains the highly conserved phosphate binding cassette that can be considered the "signature" motif of cAMP binding domains. This motif is coupled to nonconserved regions that link the cAMP signal to diverse structural and functional modules. CONCLUSIONS: Both the diversity and similarity of cAMP binding sites are demonstrated by this new type II regulatory subunit structure. The structure represents an intramolecular paradigm for the cooperative triad that links two cAMP binding sites through a domain interface to the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The domain interface surface is created by the binding of only one cAMP molecule and is enabled by amino acid sequence variability within the peptide chain that tethers the two domains together. 相似文献

The types and subunit composition of cAMP-dependent protein kinases in soluble rat ovarian extracts were investigated. Results demonstrated that three peaks of cAMP-dependent kinase activity could be resolved using DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Based on the sedimentation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and regulatory subunits using sucrose density gradient centrifugation, identification of 8-N3[32P]cAMP labeled RI and RII in DEAE-cellulose column and sucrose gradient fractions by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and Scatchard analysis of the cAMP-stimulated activation of the eluted peaks of kinase activity, the following conclusions were drawn regarding the composition of the three peaks of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity: peak 1, eluting with less than or equal to 0.05 M potassium phosphate, consisted of the type I form of cAMP-dependent protein kinase; peak 2, eluting with 0.065-0.11 M potassium phosphate, consisted of free RI and a type II tetrameric holoenzyme; peak 3, eluting with 0.125 M potassium phosphate, consisted of an apparent RIIC trimer, followed by the elution with 0.15 M potassium phosphate of free RII. The regulatory subunits were confirmed as authentic RI and RII based upon their molecular weights and autophosphorylation characteristics. The more basic elution of the type II holoenzyme with free RI was not attributable to the ionic properties of the regulatory subunits, based upon the isoelectric points of photolabeled RI and RII and upon the elution location from DEAE-cellulose of RI and RII on dissociation from their respective holoenzymes by cAMP. This is the first report of a type II holoenzyme eluting in low salt fractions with free RI, and of the presence of an apparent RIIC trimer in a soluble tissue extract. 相似文献

The regulatory (R) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK) is a multidomain protein with two tandem cAMP-binding domains, A and B. The importance of cAMP binding on the stability of the R subunit was probed by intrinsic fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) in the presence and absence of urea. Several mutants were characterized. The site-specific mutants R(R209K) and R(R333K) had defects in cAMP-binding sites A and B, respectively. R(M329W) had an additional tryptophan in domain B. Delta(260-379)R lacked Trp260 and domain B. The most destabilizing mutation was R209K. Both CD and fluorescence experiments carried out in the presence of urea showed a decrease in cooperativity of the unfolding, which also occurred at lower urea concentrations. Unlike native R, R(R209K) was not stabilized by excess cAMP. Additionally, CD revealed significant alterations in the secondary structure of the R209K mutant. Therefore, Arg209 is important not only as a contact site for cAMP binding but also for the intrinsic structural stability of the full-length protein. Introducing the comparable mutation into domain B, R333K, had a smaller effect on the integrity and stability of domain A. Unfolding was still cooperative; the protein was stabilized by excess cAMP, but the unfolding curve was biphasic. The R(M329W) mutant behaved functionally like the native protein. The Delta(260-379)R deletion mutant was not significantly different from wild-type RIalpha in its stability. Consequently, domain B and the interaction between Trp260 and cAMP bound to site A are not critical requirements for the structural stability of the cAPK regulatory subunit. 相似文献

The effect of cAMP on the conformation of the regulatory subunit of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase (RII) from bovine heart was investigated by UV-difference and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The UV-difference spectrum of RII with and without cAMP showed a positive band around 278 nm and a negative band at 256 nm. Similarly, cAMP enhanced the ellipticity of RII in the region between 280 and 300 nm and decreased that between 250 and 280 nm. In addition, cAMP transformed the far-UV CD spectrum of RII from that of a negative band minimally at 209 nm with a shoulder at 223 nm to one with two minima at 222 and 211 nm. These data show that cAMP induces conformational changes of RII upon binding. Such structural changes may be the basis of activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinases by cAMP. 相似文献
