Protein kinases play key roles in cellular functions. They are involved in many cellular functions including; signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, cell division, and cell differentiation. Alterations of protein kinase by gene amplification, mutation or viral factors often induce tumor formation and tumor progression toward malignancy. The identification and cloning of kinase genes can provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of tumorigenesis as well as diagnostic tools for tumor staging. In this study, we have used degenerated polymerase-chain-reaction primers according to the consensus catalytic domain motifs to amplify protein kinase genes (protein-tyrosine kinase, PTK, and protein-serine/threonine kinase, PSK) from human stomach cancer cells. Following amplification, the protein kinase molecules expressed in the gastric cancer cells were cloned into plasmid vectors for cloning and sequencing. Sequence analysis of polymerase-chain-reaction products resulted in the identification of 25 protein kinases, including two novel ones. Expression of several relevant PTK/PSK genes in gastric cancer cells and tissues was further substantiated by RT-PCR using gene-specific primers. The identification of protein kinases expressed or activated in the gastric cancer cells provide the framework to understand the oncogenic process of stomach cancer. 相似文献

The round-spotted pufferfishTetraodon fluviatilis has a genome size of 380 Mb which is slightly smaller than that of another pufferfish,Fugu rubripes rubripes (Fugu). Due to their compact genome and small introns, both pufferfishes have been proposed as model organisms for genome studies. In this study, we have used genomic DNA as template to perform PCR to screen for protein kinase (pk) genes. Forty-oneT. fluviatilis pk genes encoding 7 receptor tyrosine kinases, 14 nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, 16 serine/threonine kinases, 1 dual kinase and 3 novel kinases have been identified. The success of this approach depends on the size and location of the introns. Most of the identifiedpk gene fragments contain introns, ranging from 71 to 300 bp, with an average of 120 bp. It is noteworthy that the intron/exon boundaries of certain genes which belong to the same family are identical. We also analyzed by specific RT-PCR primers the expression profile of those 3 novel genes as well as some selectedpk genes in a variety of tissues. We found thaterbB3,pku , mrk, CaMK I,CaMKII, and two novel kinase genes (133 and 3–26) are expressed in all tissues examined. However, the novel clone 146 is strongly expressed in the brain and weakly in the intestine, kidney and heart. 相似文献

An improved procedure for identifying and quantitating protein phosphatases in mammalian tissues 总被引:33,自引:0,他引:33
The type 2A protein phosphatases in mammalian tissue extracts are inhibited completely and specifically by 1–2 nM okadaic acid. In contrast, type 1 protein phosphatases are hardly affected at these concentrations, complete inhibition requiring 1 μM okadaic acid. These observations have been exploited to develop an improved procedure for the identification and quantitation of type 1, type 2A and type 2C protein phosphatases in tissue extracts. 相似文献

Since protein–protein interactions (PPIs) regulate a variety of cellular processes, the detection of PPIs is crucial for elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms as well as developing therapeutics. In this study, we propose a novel system to detect PPIs using the distinct domains of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). In this system named “split FAK”, the linker and kinase domains in native FAK are tethered separately to two target proteins of interest. The interaction between the target proteins brings the linker and kinase domains into proximity, which leads to phosphorylation at Y397 of the linker domain, recruitment of another tyrosine kinase Src, and phosphorylation at Y576 of the kinase domain. PPIs are readily detected by probing phosphorylation at Y397 and Y576 of these domains. To demonstrate this system, we designed a series of split FAK chimeras with different domain structures. Consequently, dimerizer-induced interaction between FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP) and the T2098L mutant of FKBP12-rapamycin binding domain (FRB) was clearly detected by probing phosphorylation at the specific tyrosine residues of most of the split FAK chimeras. This is a novel PPI detection system based on a mechanism-inspired design of a trans-activated split kinase. 相似文献

Larvae of the goldenrod gall moth, Epiblema scudderiana, use the freeze avoidance strategy of winter cold hardiness and show multiple metabolic adaptations for subzero survival including accumulation of large amounts of glycerol as a colligative antifreeze. Induction and regulation of cold hardiness adaptations requires the intermediary action of signal transduction enzymes. Changes in the activities of several signaling enzymes including cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), protein phosphatases 1 (PP1), 2A, 2C, and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) were monitored over the winter and during experimental exposures of larvae to subzero temperatures (-4 degrees C, a temperature that triggers rapid glycerol synthesis, or -20 degrees C, a common midwinter ambient temperature) or anoxia. A strong increase in the amount of active PP1 in the latter part of the winter may be responsible for shutting off glycogenolysis once glycerol levels are maximized. There appears to be a limited role for PKA in overwintering but PP2A and PP2C activities rose when larvae were exposed to -20 degrees C and PTP activities rose significantly over the winter months and also in response to laboratory subzero (-20 degrees C) and anoxia exposures. The strong responses by PTPs suggest that these may be involved in cell cycle and growth arrest during winter diapause. 相似文献

Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor-Mediated Stimulation of Protein Phosphatase 2A in Rat Hypothalamic/Brainstem Neuronal Cocultures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract: Recent studies have suggested a role for an inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding (Gi ) protein and protein (serine/threonine) phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in the angiotensin II type 2 (AT2 ) receptor-mediated stimulation of neuronal K+ currents. In the present study we have directly analyzed the effects of angiotensin II on PP2A activity in neurons cultured from newborn rat hypothalamus and brainstem. Angiotensin II elicited time (30 min–24 h)- and concentration (10 n M -1 µ M )-dependent increases in PP2A activity in these cells, an effect mimicked by the AT2 receptor ligand CGP-42112A. These effects of angiotensin II and CGP-42112A involve AT2 receptors, because they were inhibited by the AT2 receptor-selective ligand PD 123,319 (1 µ M ) but not by the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist losartan (1 µ M ). Furthermore, the stimulatory effects of angiotensin II and CGP-42112A on PP2A activity were inhibited by pretreatment of cultures with pertussis toxin (200 ng/ml; 24 h), indicating the involvement of a Gi protein. These effects of angiotensin II and CGP-42112A appear to be via activation of PP2A, and western blot analyses revealed no effects of either peptide on the protein levels of the catalytic subunit of PP2A in cultured neurons. In summary, these data suggest that PP2A is a cellular target modified following neuronal AT2 receptor activation. 相似文献

Eukaryotic-like serine/threonine protein kinases (ESTPKs) are widely spread throughout the bacterial genomes. These enzymes can be potential targets of new antibacterial drugs useful for the treatment of socially important diseases such as tuberculosis. In this study, ESTPKs of pathogenic, probiotic, and antibiotic-producing Gram-positive bacteria were classified according to the physicochemical properties of amino acid residues in the ATP-binding site of the enzyme. Nine residues were identified that line the surface of the adenine-binding pocket, and ESTPKs were classified based on these signatures. Twenty groups were discovered, five of them containing >10 representatives. The two most abundant groups contained >150 protein kinases that belong to the various branches of the phylogenetic tree, whereas certain groups are genus- or even species-specific. Homology modeling of the typical representatives of each group revealed that the classification is reliable, and the differences between the protein kinase ATP-binding pockets predicted based on their signatures are apparent in their structure. The classification is expected to be useful for the selection of targets for new anti-infective drugs. 相似文献

Activation of signal transduction pathways in response to serum complement in Naegleria fowleri amebae was investigated. We examined the activation of protein kinases and changes in the phosphorylation state of proteins in N. fowleri stimulated by normal human serum (NHS). To determine differences in phosphorylation of proteins when amebae were exposed to NHS or heat inactivated serum (HIS) lacking complement, amebae were labeled with [32P] orthophosphate. An increase in phosphorylation of relatively low molecular weight proteins was noted in N. fowleri incubated in NHS with a concomitant decrease in phosphorylation of high molecular mass polypeptides. To investigate whether serine/threonine or tyrosine kinases were stimulated by NHS, amebae were treated with protein kinase inhibitors H7, staurosporine or genistein, prior to serum exposure and examined for susceptibility to complement. Treatment with each of these inhibitors resulted in increased complement lysis. Incubation of N. fowleri with genistein specifically inhibited tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins stimulated by NHS. A tyrosine kinase activity assay using exogenous polyGlu-Tyr substrate demonstrated differential activation of tyrosine kinases in amebae treated with NHS when compared to treatment with HIS. The results suggest that activation of protein kinases and subsequent protein phosphorylation are important in mediating complement resistance in N. fowleri. 相似文献

Abstract: The composition of tissue gangliosides is thought to result mainly from the active regulation and selective expression of specific enzymes responsible for their metabolism. In the last few years, we have purified several rat brain sialyltransferases to homogeneity; the availability of these highly purified enzymes enabled us to investigate their regulation and expression at the molecular level. Thus, we studied the regulation of sialyltransferase activities, in particular, CMP-NeuAc:GM1 and CMP-NeuAc:LacCer sialyltransferases by a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanism. Protein kinase C was added to a standard enzyme assay mixture containing [γ-32 P]ATP, and the activity of the enzyme was measured after various incubation times. We found that treatment of several sialyltransferases by protein kinase C decreased their activities in a time-dependent manner. Analyses of 32 P-labeled amino acids revealed that the major phosphorylation site of CMP-NeuAc:GM1 α2→3 sialyltransferase (ST-IV) was serine and that for CMP-NeuAc:LacCer α2→3 sialyltransferase (ST-I) was primarily threonine. Partial recovery of the enzyme activity could be achieved by treatment of the phosphorylated sialyltransferases with rat brain protein phosphatase. We conclude that the activities of sialyltransferases can be modulated by protein kinase C and protein phosphatase and this may represent a potential regulatory mechanism for ganglioside biosynthesis. 相似文献

In a previous report [Yanget al., (1987a),J. Biol Chem.
262, 7034–7040], a cyclic-AMP- and calcium-independent brain kinase which requires autophosphorylation for activity was identified as a very potent myelin basic protein (MBP) kinase. In this report, the phosphorylation sites of MBP by this autophosphorylation-dependent protein kinase (autokinase) are further determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis/thin-layer chromatography, phosphoamino acid analysis, high-performance liquid chromatography, tryptic peptide mapping, sequential manual Edman degradation, and direct peptide sequencing. Autokinase phosphorylates MBP on both threonine and serine residues. Three major tryptic phosphopeptide peaks were resolved by C18-reversed phase highper-formance liquid chromatography. Sequential manual Edman degradation together with direct sequence analysis revealed that FS(p)WGAEGQKPGFGYGGR is the phosphorylation site sequence (molar ratio 1.0) for the first major phosphopeptide peak. When mapping with bovine brain MBP sequence, we finally demonstrate Ser115, one of thein vivo phosphorylation sites in MBP, as the major site phosphorylated by autokinase, implicating a physiologically relevant role of autokinase in the regulation of brain myelin function. By using the same approach, we also identified HRDT(p)GILDSLGR (molar ratio 0.9) and TT(p)HYGSLPQK (molar ratio 0.8) as the major phosphorylation site sequences in32P-MBP phosphorylated by autokinase, further indicating that -Arg-XSer/Thr-(neutral amino acid)3-(amino acid-containing hydroxyl group such as Ser/Glu/Asp)-(neutral amino acid)2-may represent a unique consensus sequence motif specifically recognized by this autophosphorylation-dependent multisubstrate/ multifunctional protein kinase in the brain. 相似文献

DARPP-32, a dopamine- and cyclic AMP-regulated phosphoprotein of Mr 32 kDa, is phosphorylated on Thr34 by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, resulting in its conversion to a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1). Conversely, Thr34-phosphorylated DARPP-32 is dephosphorylated and inactivated in vitro by calcineurin and protein phosphatase-2A (PP-2A). We have investigated the relative contributions of these protein phosphatases to the regulation of DARPP-32 dephosphorylation in mouse neostriatal slices. Cyclosporin A (5 microM), a calcineurin inhibitor, maximally increased the level of phosphorylated DARPP-32 by 17+/-2-fold. Okadaic acid (1 microM), an inhibitor of PP-1 and PP-2A, had a smaller effect, increasing phospho-DARPP-32 by 5.1+/-1.3-fold. The effect of okadaic acid on DARPP-32 phosphorylation was shown to be due to inhibition of PP-2A activity. Incubation of slices in the presence of cyclosporin A plus either okadaic acid or calyculin A, another PP-1/PP-2A inhibitor, caused a synergistic increase in the level of phosphorylated DARPP-32. The use of Ca2(+)-free/EGTA medium mimicked the effects of cyclosporin A on DARPP-32 phosphorylation, supporting the conclusion that the action of cyclosporin on DARPP-32 phosphorylation was attributable to blockade of the Ca2(+)-dependent activation of calcineurin. The results indicate that calcineurin and PP-2A, but not PP-1, act synergistically to maintain a low level of phosphorylated DARPP-32 in neostriatal slices. 相似文献

The dynamics of serine/threonine protein kinase activity during the growth of the wild-typeStreptomyces avermitilis strain 964 and its chloramphenicol-resistant (Cmlr) pleiotropic mutant with an enhanced production of avermectins was studied by measuring the transfer of radiolabeled phosphate
from [y-32P]ATP to the serine and threonine residues of proteins in cell-free extracts. In both of the strains studied, radiolabeled
phosphate was found to incorporate into polypeptides with molecular masses of 32, 35, 41, 68, 75, 79, 83, and 137 kDa; however,
the degree and the dynamics of phosphorylation of particular peptides were different in these strains. The differences revealed
could not be accounted for by the interference of ATPases or phosphoprotein phosphatases. The data obtained may be interpreted
as evidence that Cmlr mutation activates the protein kinase signalling system ofS.avermitilis cells in the early stationary growth phase and thus enhances the production of avermectins and leads to some other physiological
changes in the mutant strain. 相似文献

We hereby disclose the discovery of inhibitors of CaMKII (7h and 7i) that are highly potent in rat ventricular myocytes, selective against hERG and other off-target kinases, while possessing good CaMKII tissue isoform selectivity (cardiac γ/δ vs. neuronal α/β). In vitro and in vivo ADME/PK studies demonstrated the suitability of these CaMKII inhibitors for PO (7h rat F?=?73%) and IV pharmacological studies. 相似文献

A protein kinase inhibitor as an antimycobacterial agent 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The protein kinase inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7) was found to inhibit the growth of two different mycobacterial strains, the slow-growing Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) and the fast-growing saprophyte Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2 155, in a dose-dependent manner. While screening for the effect of kinase inhibitors on mycobacterial growth, millimolar concentrations of H7 induced a 40% decrease in the growth of M. bovis BCG when measured as a function of oxidative phosphorylation. This H7-induced decrease in growth was shown to involve a 2-log fold decrease in the viable counts of M. smegmatis within a 48-h period and a 50% reduction in the number of BCG viable counts within a 10-day period. Micromolar concentrations of H7 compound induced a significant decrease in the activity of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein serine/threonine kinase (PSTK) PknB. The inhibition of mycobacterial growth as well as the inhibition of a representative M. tuberculosis protein serine/threonine kinase PknB suggests that conventional PSTK inhibitors can be used to study the role that the mycobacterial PSTK family plays in controlling bacterial growth. 相似文献

Of the six distinct isoforms of mouse protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) (α, β-1, β-2, β-3, β-4 and β-5), PP2Cα was specifically phosphorylated on the serine residue(s) when expressed in COS7 cells. Analysis of phosphorylation sites using site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that Ser-375 and/or Ser-377 were phosphorylated in vivo. These serine residues were the sites of phosphorylation by casein kinase II in vitro. Phosphorylation of PP2Cα was enhanced two-fold by the addition of okadaic acid to the culture medium, but addition of cyclosporin A had no such effect. These results suggest that the expressed PP2Cα is phosphorylated by a casein kinase II-like protein kinase and dephosphorylated by PP1 and/or PP2A in COS7 cells. 相似文献

Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) purified from spinach leaves harvested in the dark, was activated by mammalian protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Activation of SPS in a fraction from darkened spinach leaves was largely prevented by either okadaic acid or microcystin-LR (specific inhibitors of PP1 and PP2A), while inhibitor-2 (a PP1 inhibitor) or Mg2+ (essential for PP2C) were ineffective. In vivo, okadaic add and microcystin-LR prevented the light-induced activation of SPS and decreased sucrose biosynthesis and CO2 fixation. It is concluded that PP2A is the major SPS phosphatase in spinach. This study is the first to employ microcystin-LR for modulating protein phosphorylation in vivo. 相似文献
