Pantophysin, a protein related to the neuroendocrine-specific synaptophysin, recently has been identified in non-neuronal tissues. In the present study, Northern blots showed that pantophysin mRNA was abundant in adipose tissue and increased during adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 cells. Immunoblot analysis of subcellular fractions showed pantophysin present exclusively in membrane fractions and relatively evenly distributed in the plasma membrane and internal membrane fractions. Sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation demonstrated that pantophysin and GLUT4 exhibited overlapping distribution profiles. Furthermore, immunopurified GLUT4 vesicles contained pantophysin, and both GLUT4 and pantophysin were depleted from this vesicle population following treatment with insulin. Additionally, a subpopulation of immunopurified pantophysin vesicles contained insulin-responsive GLUT4. Consistent with the interaction of synaptophysin with vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 in neuroendocrine tissues, pantophysin associated with vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 in adipocytes. Furthermore, in [(32)P]orthophosphate-labeled cells, pantophysin was phosphorylated in the basal state. This phosphorylation was unchanged in response to insulin; however, insulin stimulated the phosphorylation of a 77-kDa protein associated with alpha-pantophysin immunoprecipitates. Although the functional role of pantophysin in vesicle trafficking is unclear, its presence on GLUT4 vesicles is consistent with the emerging role of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive protein receptor (SNARE) factor complex and related proteins in regulated vesicle transport in adipocytes. In addition, pantophysin may provide a marker for the analysis of other vesicles in adipocytes. 相似文献

Reconstitution of the polyoma virus middle T antigen (mT)-pp60-src complex and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase) has been accomplished in vitro with immunopurified baculovirus-expressed mT-pp60c-src and PtdIns 3-kinase purified from rat liver. Both the 110- and 85-kDa subunits of the PtdIns 3-kinase associated with the mT-pp60c-src complex. The association of PtdIns 3-kinase with the mT-pp60c-src complex was dependent on the protein-tyrosine kinase activity of pp60c-src as a kinase-inactive mutant (pp60(295c-src)) still complexed with mT, but the mT-pp60(295c-src)) complex was unable to bind PtdIns 3-kinase. The mT-pp60c-src complex phosphorylated both subunits of PtdIns 3-kinase on tyrosine residues. The immunopurified mT-pp60c-src complex also associated with PtdIns 3-kinase activity from whole cell lysates, and this association was dependent upon the protein-tyrosine kinase activity of pp60c-src. Comparison of 35S-labeled proteins from whole cell lysates which associated with immunopurified mT-pp60c-src and mT-pp60(295c-src) revealed proteins of 110 and 85 kDa as the major peptides dependent on protein-tyrosine kinase activity for association with the complex. In addition, a synthetic phosphopeptide (13-mer) containing sequences conserved between the major tyrosine phosphorylation site of murine polyoma virus mT, hamster polyoma virus mT, and the insulin receptor substrate (IRS-1) specifically blocked the association of the 85- and 110-kDa polypeptides with the mT-pp60c-src complex. The ability to block the association was dependent on the tyrosine phosphorylation of the peptide. Association of PtdIns 3-kinase activity was blocked concurrently. This is the first demonstration that the 110-kDa subunit of PtdIns 3-kinase can associate with mT-pp60c-src. This association in vitro is a step toward understanding protein-protein interactions important in the signal transduction pathway of oncogenic proteins. 相似文献

The protein 14-3-3 is a key regulator in a cell signaling pathway mediated by protein phosphorylation. To identify the cellular targets of this protein systematically, we have employed a proteomic approach: protein components pulled down from PC12 cells stably expressing a myc-tagged 14-3-3eta isoform were analyzed by means of SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry. This procedure allowed us to identify more than 30 proteins that include various known and unknown targets of the 14-3-3 protein. Among them are several proteins in the membrane traffic pathway, such as the heavy and light chains (KHC/KIF5B and KLC2) of conventional kinesin, a heterotetrameric mechanochemical motor involved in the ATP-dependent movement of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. Subsequent analysis showed that 14-3-3 directly binds to kinesin heterodimers through interaction with KLC2 and that this interaction is dependent on the phosphorylation of KLC2. Studies on the interaction between 14-3-3 and KLC2 variants expressed in cultured cells coupled with mass spectrometric analysis proved that Ser575 is the site of phosphorylation in KLC2 that is responsible for the in vivo interaction with the 14-3-3 protein. These data add KLC2 to the growing list of 14-3-3 targets, and suggest a role of 14-3-3 in the phosphorylation-regulated cellular transport of vesicles and organelles. 相似文献

14-3-3 proteins affect the cell surface expression of several unrelated cargo membrane proteins, e.g., MHC II invariant chain, the two-pore potassium channels KCNK3 and KCNK9, and a number of different reporter proteins exposing Arg-based endoplasmic reticulum localization signals in mammalian and yeast cells. These multimeric membrane proteins have a common feature in that they all expose coatomer protein complex I (COPI)- and 14-3-3-binding motifs. 14-3-3 binding depends on phosphorylation of the membrane protein in some and on multimerization of the membrane protein in other cases. Evidence from mutant proteins that are unable to interact with either COPI or 14-3-3 and from yeast cells with an altered 14-3-3 content suggests that 14-3-3 proteins affect forward transport in the secretory pathway. Mechanistically, this could be explained by clamping, masking, or scaffolding. In the clamping mechanism, 14-3-3 binding alters the conformation of the signal-exposing tail of the membrane protein, whereas masking or scaffolding would abolish or allow the interaction of the membrane protein with other proteins or complexes. Interaction partners identified as putative 14-3-3 binding partners in affinity purification approaches constitute a pool of candidate proteins for downstream effectors, such as coat components, coat recruitment GTPases, Rab GTPases, GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and motor proteins. 相似文献

PRAS40 binds to the mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) and is released in response to insulin. It has been suggested that this effect is due to 14-3-3 binding and leads to activation of mTORC1 signalling. In a similar manner to insulin, phorbol esters also activate mTORC1 signalling, in this case via PKC (protein kinase C) and ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase). However, phorbol esters do not induce phosphorylation of PRAS40 at Thr(246), binding of 14-3-3 proteins to PRAS40 or its release from mTORC1. Mutation of Thr(246) to a serine residue permits phorbol esters to induce phosphorylation and binding to 14-3-3 proteins. Such phosphorylation is apparently mediated by RSKs (ribosomal S6 kinases), which lie downstream of ERK. However, although the PRAS40(T246S) mutant binds to 14-3-3 better than wild-type PRAS40, each inhibits mTORC1 signalling to a similar extent. Our results show that activation of mTORC1 signalling by phorbol esters does not require PRAS40 to be phosphorylated at Thr(246), bind to 14-3-3 or be released from mTORC1. It is conceivable that phorbol esters activate mTORC1 by a distinct mechanism not involving PRAS40. Indeed, our results suggest that PRAS40 may not actually be involved in controlling mTORC1, but rather be a downstream target of mTORC1 that is regulated in response only to specific stimuli, such as insulin. 相似文献

Orthologous proteins do not necessarily share the same function in all species and those sharing the same function might employ a modified catalytic mechanism. Thus, comparative analysis of homologous or orthologous proteins from different organisms can provide detailed information on the function and the mechanism of an entire protein family. The sensor kinase ETR1 from Arabidopsis thaliana has been well characterized by genetic, physiological and biochemical studies. However, as further model plants are coming into focus for plant hormone research, a general protocol for isolation and purification of orthologous ETR1 proteins seems instrumental for a detailed molecular analysis of this protein family. In this study, we describe the native purification of recombinant ETR1 from Arabidopsis thaliana by mild solubilization with the zwitter-ionic detergent Fos-Choline-14 and single-step purification by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography. The same protocol was successfully applied for the purification of the orthologous proteins from the moss Physcomitrella patens subsp. patens and the tomato Lycopersicon esculentum. The successful transfer of the purification protocol to proteins of the same family which share sequence identity of 63-80% only suggests that this protocol presents a general purification strategy which is likely to apply also to the purification of other members of the sensor histidine kinase family. 相似文献

Poliovirus proteins 3A and 3AB are small, membrane-binding proteins that play multiple roles in viral RNA replication complex formation and function. In the infected cell, these proteins associate with other viral and cellular proteins as part of a supramolecular complex whose structure and composition are unknown. We isolated viable viruses with three different epitope tags (FLAG, hemagglutinin [HA], and c-myc) inserted into the N-terminal region of protein 3A. These viruses exhibited growth properties and characteristics very similar to those of the wild-type, untagged virus. Extracts prepared from the infected cells were subjected to immunoaffinity purification of the tagged proteins by adsorption to commercial antibody-linked beads and examined after elution for cellular and other viral proteins that remained bound to 3A sequences during purification. Viral proteins 2C, 2BC, 3D, and 3CD were detected in all three immunopurified 3A samples. Among the cellular proteins previously reported to interact with 3A either directly or indirectly, neither LIS1 nor phosphoinositol-4 kinase (PI4K) were detected in any of the purified tagged 3A samples. However, the guanine nucleotide exchange factor GBF1, which is a key regulator of membrane trafficking in the cellular protein secretory pathway and which has been shown previously to bind enteroviral protein 3A and to be required for viral RNA replication, was readily recovered along with immunoaffinity-purified 3A-FLAG. Surprisingly, we failed to cocapture GBF1 with 3A-HA or 3A-myc proteins. A model for variable binding of these 3A mutant proteins to GBF1 based on amino acid sequence motifs and the resulting practical and functional consequences thereof are discussed. 相似文献

14-3-3 proteins form a guidance complex with chloroplast precursor proteins in plants 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Transit sequences of chloroplast-destined precursor proteins are phosphorylated on a serine or threonine residue. The amino acid motif around the phosphorylation site is related to the phosphopeptide binding motif for 14-3-3 proteins. Plant 14-3-3 proteins interact specifically with wheat germ lysate-synthesized chloroplast precursor proteins and require an intact phosphorylation motif within the transit sequence. Chloroplast precursor proteins do not interact with 14-3-3 when synthesized in the heterologous reticulocyte lysate. In contrast, a precursor protein destined for plant mitochondria was found to be associated with 14-3-3 proteins present in the reticulocyte lysate but not with 14-3-3 from wheat germ lysate. This indicates an unrecognized selectivity of 14-3-3 proteins for precursors from mitochondria and plastids in plants in comparison to fungi and animals. The heterooligomeric complex has an apparent size of 200 kD. In addition to the precursor protein, it contains 14-3-3 (probably as a dimer) and a heat shock protein Hsp70 isoform. Dissociation of the precursor complex requires ATP. Protein import experiments of precursor from the oligomeric complex into intact pea chloroplasts reveal three- to fourfold higher translocation rates compared with the free precursor, which is not complexed. We conclude that the 14-3-3-Hsp70-precursor protein complex is a bona fide intermediate in the in vivo protein import pathway in plants. 相似文献

14-3-3 facilitates insulin-stimulated intracellular trafficking of insulin receptor substrate 1 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The appearance of a complex between tyrosine-phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and PI3K in a high-speed pellet fraction (HSP) is thought to be a key event in insulin action. Conversely, the disappearance of the IRS-1/PI3K complex from this fraction has been linked to insulin desensitization. The present study examines the role of 14-3-3, a specific phospho-serine binding protein, in mediating the disappearance of IRS-1 from the HSP after insulin treatment. An in vitro pull-down assay using recombinant 14-3-3 revealed that insulin enhances the association of 14-3-3 with IRS-1 in cultured adipocytes and that this is completely inhibited by wortmannin. An association of IRS-1 and 14-3-3 was also observed and was maximal after stimulation by insulin, when endogenous proteins were immunoprecipitated. Epidermal growth factor (EGF), 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, and okadaic acid, other agents that cause serine/threonine phosphorylation of IRS-1, also stimulated IRS binding to 14-3-3. The enhancement of IRS-1 binding to 14-3-3 by insulin was accompanied by movement of IRS-1 and the p85 subunit of PI3K from the HSP to the cytosol. In keeping with a key role of 14-3-3 in mediating this redistribution of IRS-1, the complexes of IRS-1 and 14-3-3 were found in the cytosol but not in the HSP of insulin-treated cells. In addition, colocalization of IRS-1 and 14-3-3 was observed in the cytoplasm after insulin treatment by confocal microscopy. Finally, the addition of a phosphorylated 14-3-3 binding peptide to an adipocyte homogenate (to remove 14-3-3 from IRS-1) increased the abundance of IRS-1/PI3K complexes in the HSP and decreased their abundance in the cytosol. These findings strongly suggest that 14-3-3 participates in the intracellular trafficking of IRS-1 by promoting the displacement of serine-phosphorylated IRS-1 from particular structures. They also suggest that 14-3-3 proteins could play an integral role in the process of insulin desensitization. 相似文献

The addition of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) to intact BALB/c 3T3 cells results in the rapid (less than 1 min), dose-dependent phosphorylation of a number of proteins that could be isolated by a monoclonal antiphosphotyrosine antibody. The predominant tyrosinephosphorylated protein shared many characteristics with the PDGF receptor, including its molecular weight (170,000), isoelectric point (pI of about 4.2), its binding to DEAE-cellulose, and its pattern of binding to lectins. This 170-kDa protein, labeled with [35S] methionine, was substantially purified from PDGF-stimulated cells using the monoclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibody but was not significantly immunopurified from unstimulated cells. At 37 degrees C, phosphorylation of the 170-kDa protein was maximal by 5-10 min of exposure to PDGF, and thereafter decreased rapidly. However, at 4 degrees C, the phosphorylation continued to increase after 3 h of exposure to PDGF. Subsequently, shifting the cells from 4 to 37 degrees C resulted in an additional rapid burst of tyrosine phosphorylation. Among the other PDGF-stimulated molecules, the most prominent and consistently observed was a cytosolic, acidic (pI of about 4.2), 74-kDa protein. These findings indicate that the action of PDGF in vivo is associated with the rapid and transient tyrosine phosphorylation of several membrane and cytosolic proteins; the most prominent of these proteins, isolated by monoclonal antibody to phosphotyrosine, is likely to be the PDGF receptor. The use of this antibody provides a new approach for purification of the PDGF receptor. 相似文献

PRAS40 is a target for mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 and is required for signaling downstream of this complex 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Signaling through the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is positively regulated by amino acids and insulin. PRAS40 associates with mTORC1 (which contains raptor) but not mTORC2. PRAS40 interacts with raptor, and this requires an intact TOR-signaling (TOS) motif in PRAS40. Like TOS motif-containing proteins such as eIF4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), PRAS40 is a substrate for phosphorylation by mTORC1. Consistent with this, starvation of cells of amino acids or treatment with rapamycin alters the phosphorylation of PRAS40. PRAS40 binds 14-3-3 proteins, and this requires both amino acids and insulin. Binding of PRAS40 to 14-3-3 proteins is inhibited by TSC1/2 (negative regulators of mTORC1) and stimulated by Rheb in a rapamycin-sensitive manner. This confirms that PRAS40 is a target for regulation by mTORC1. Small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of PRAS40 impairs both the amino acid- and insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and the phosphorylation of S6. However, this has no effect on the phosphorylation of Akt or TSC2 (an Akt substrate). These data place PRAS40 downstream of mTORC1 but upstream of its effectors, such as S6K1 and 4E-BP1. 相似文献

Tandem affinity purification (TAP) is a generic two-step affinity purification protocol for isolation of TAP-tagged proteins together with associated proteins. We used bacterial artificial chromosome to heterologously express TAP-tagged murine Sgo1 protein in human HeLa cells. This allowed us to test the functionality of the Sgo1-TAP protein by RNA interference-mediated depletion of the endogenous human Sgo1. Here, we present an optimized protocol for purification of TAP-tagged Sgo1 protein as well as KIAA1387 from HeLa cells with detailed instructions. The purification protocol can be completed in 1 day and it should be applicable to other proteins. 相似文献

To search for the substrates of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I (CaM-KI), we performed affinity chromatography purification using either the unphosphorylated or phosphorylated (at Thr177) GST-fused CaM-KI catalytic domain (residues 1-293, K49E) as the affinity ligand. Proteomic analysis was then carried out to identify the interacting proteins. In addition to the detection of two known CaM-KI substrates (CREB and synapsin I), we identified two Numb family proteins (Numb and Numbl) from rat tissues. These proteins were unphosphorylated and were bound only to the Thr177-phosphorylated CaM-KI catalytic domain. This finding is consistent with the results demonstrating that Numb and Numbl were efficiently and stoichiometrically phosphorylated in vitro at equivalent Ser residues (Ser264 in Numb and Ser304 in Numbl) by activated CaM-KI and also by two other CaM-Ks (CaM-KII and CaM-KIV). Using anti-phospho-Numb/Numbl antibody, we observed the phosphorylation of Numb family proteins in various rat tissue extracts, and we also detected the ionomycin-induced phosphorylation of endogenous Numb at Ser264 in COS-7 cells. The present results revealed that the Numb family proteins are phosphorylated in vivo as well as in vitro. Furthermore, we found that the recruitment of 14-3-3 proteins was the functional consequence of the phosphorylation of the Numb family proteins. Interaction of 14-3-3 protein with phosphorylated Numbl-blocked dephosphorylation of Ser304. Taken together, these results indicate that the Numb family proteins may be intracellular targets for CaM-Ks, and they may also be regulated by phosphorylation-dependent interaction with 14-3-3 protein. 相似文献

1) Insulin stimulated the phosphorylation of at least 14 discrete proteins in Neurospora crassa cells. Specific proteins were phosphorylated at serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues, as determined by phosphoamino acid analysis of discrete spots on two-dimensional gels. 2) Insulin stimulated the phosphorylation by [gamma-32P]ATP of at least six discrete proteins in solubilized N. crassa membrane preparations at serine and tyrosine residues. 3) A phosphotyrosine-containing protein of 38 kDa, pI 7.0-7.2, reacted by both immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation with antiserum to P2, a peptide from the human insulin receptor that contains an autophosphorylated tyrosine residue. In N. crassa cells, therefore, as in mammalian cells, insulin induces a variety of protein phosphorylations, some of which may be part of an evolutionarily conserved signal transduction pathway. 相似文献

An improved, simplified method for the purification of recombinant, tagged DnaA proteins is described. The presented protocol allowed us to purify soluble DnaA proteins from two different bacterial species: Helicobacter pylori and Streptomyces coelicolor, but it can most likely also be used for the isolation of DnaA proteins from other bacteria, as it was adapted for Mycobacterium tuberculosis DnaA. The isolation procedure consists of protein precipitation with ammonium sulphate followed by affinity chromatography. The composition of the buffers used at each purification step is crucial for the successful isolation of the recombinant DnaA proteins. The universality of the method in terms of its application to differently tagged proteins (His-tagged or GST-tagged) as well as different properties of purified proteins (e.g., highly aggregating truncated forms) makes the protocol highly useful for all studies requiring purified and active DnaA proteins. 相似文献

Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 2 as intermediate docking platform transduces the insulin/IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor 1) signal to intracellular effector molecules that regulate glucose homeostasis, β-cell growth, and survival. Previously, IRS2 has been identified as a 14-3-3 interaction protein. 14-3-3 proteins can bind their target proteins via phosphorylated serine/threonine residues located within distinct motifs. In this study the binding of 14-3-3 to IRS2 upon stimulation with forskolin or the cAMP analog 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP was demonstrated in HEK293 cells. Binding was reduced with PKA inhibitors H89 or Rp-8-Br-cAMPS. Phosphorylation of IRS2 on PKA consensus motifs was induced by forskolin and the PKA activator N6-Phe-cAMP and prevented by both PKA inhibitors. The amino acid region after position 952 on IRS2 was identified as the 14-3-3 binding region by GST-14-3-3 pulldown assays. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed serine 1137 and serine 1138 as cAMP-dependent, potential PKA phosphorylation sites. Mutation of serine 1137/1138 to alanine strongly reduced the cAMP-dependent 14-3-3 binding. Application of cycloheximide revealed that forskolin enhanced IRS2 protein stability in HEK293 cells stably expressing IRS2 as well as in primary hepatocytes. Stimulation with forskolin did not increase protein stability either in the presence of a 14-3-3 antagonist or in the double 1137/1138 alanine mutant. Thus the reduced IRS2 protein degradation was dependent on the interaction with 14-3-3 proteins and the presence of serine 1137/1138. We present serine 1137/1138 as novel cAMP-dependent phosphorylation sites on IRS2 and show their importance in 14-3-3 binding and IRS2 protein stability. 相似文献

Phosphorylation and subsequent interaction with 14-3-3 proteins regulate plastid glutamine synthetase in Medicago truncatula 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In this report we demonstrate that plastid glutamine synthetase of Medicago truncatula (MtGS2) is regulated by phosphorylation and 14-3-3 interaction. To investigate regulatory aspects of GS2 phosphorylation, we have
produced non-phosphorylated GS2 proteins by expressing the plant cDNA in E. coli and performed in vitro phosphorylation assays. The recombinant isoenzyme was phosphorylated by calcium dependent kinase(s)
present in leaves, roots and nodules. Using an (His)6-tagged 14-3-3 protein column affinity purification method, we demonstrate that phosphorylated GS2 interacts with 14-3-3 proteins
and that this interaction leads to selective proteolysis of the plastid located isoform, resulting in inactivation of the
isoenzyme. By site directed mutagenesis we were able to identify a GS2 phosphorylation site (Ser97) crucial for the interaction
with 14-3-3s. Phosphorylation of this target residue can be functionally mimicked by replacing Ser97 by Asp, indicating that
the introduction of a negative charge contributes to the interaction with 14-3-3 proteins and subsequent specific proteolysis.
Furthermore, we document that plant extracts contain protease activity that cleaves the GS2 protein only when it is bound
to 14-3-3 proteins following either phosphorylation or mimicking of phosphorylation by Ser97Asp. 相似文献

Many cellular processes are controlled by multisubunit protein complexes. Frequently these complexes form transiently and require native environment to assemble. Therefore, to identify these functional protein complexes, it is important to stabilize them in vivo before cell lysis and subsequent purification. Here we describe a method used to isolate large bona fide protein complexes from Drosophila embryos. This method is based on embryo permeabilization and stabilization of the complexes inside the embryos by in vivo crosslinking using a low concentration of formaldehyde, which can easily cross the cell membrane. Subsequently, the protein complex of interest is immunopurified followed by gel purification and analyzed by mass spectrometry. We illustrate this method using purification of a Tudor protein complex, which is essential for germline development. Tudor is a large protein, which contains multiple Tudor domains - small modules that interact with methylated arginines or lysines of target proteins. This method can be adapted for isolation of native protein complexes from different organisms and tissues. 相似文献

We describe purification of three different states of the 82-kDa K+/H+ antiporter from rat liver mitochondria. The denatured 82-kDa protein, identified by its selective labeling with [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), was purified by preparative two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. This purified product was used to raise and immunopurify monospecific polyclonal antibodies. Western blot analysis showed that the [14C] DCCD-labeled 82-kDa protein is not a DCCD-crosslinked product. The native, [14C]DCCD-labeled, 82-kDa protein was purified by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and column chromatography, using 14C labeling and gel electrophoresis to track the protein. The native, non-DCCD-labeled 82-kDa protein was purified by similar procedures, using immunopurified antibodies to track the protein. DCCD binding had no effect on chromatographic behavior of the antiporter protein. This protocol resulted in purification of the 82-kDa protein to apparent homogeneity. The purified, native 82-kDa protein was reconstituted into proteoliposomes and assayed for K+ transport with the new fluorescent probe, PBFI. K+ transport was electroneutral and was inhibited by DCCD, Mg2+, and timolol. The turnover number for K+ transport was about 1000 s-1, very similar to the value previously estimated in intact mitochondria. 相似文献

The important role of histone posttranslational modifications, particularly methylation and acetylation, in Plasmodium falciparum gene regulation has been established. However, the role of histone phosphorylation remains understudied. Here, we investigate histone phosphorylation utilizing liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry to analyze histones extracted from asexual blood stages using two improved protocols to enhance preservation of PTMs. Enrichment for phosphopeptides lead to the detection of 14 histone phospho-modifications in P. falciparum. The majority of phosphorylation sites were observed at the N-terminal regions of various histones and were frequently observed adjacent to acetylated lysines. We also report the identification of one novel member of the P. falciparum histone phosphosite binding protein repertoire, Pf14-3-3I. Recombinant Pf14-3-3I protein bound to purified parasite histones. In silico structural analysis of Pf14-3-3 proteins revealed that residues responsible for binding to histone H3 S10ph and/or S28ph are conserved at the primary and the tertiary structure levels. Using a battery of H3 specific phosphopeptides, we demonstrate that Pf14-3-3I preferentially binds to H3S28ph over H3S10ph, independent of modification of neighbouring residues like H3S10phK14ac and H3S28phS32ph. Our data provide key insight into histone phosphorylation sites. The identification of a second member of the histone modification reading machinery suggests a widespread use of histone phosphorylation in the control of various nuclear processes in malaria parasites. 相似文献
