Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an important negative regulator of insulin and leptin signaling in vivo. Mice lacking PTP1B (PTP1B-/- mice) are hyper-responsive to insulin and leptin and resistant to diet-induced obesity. The tissue(s) that mediate these effects of global PTP1B deficiency remain controversial. We exploited the high degree of hepatotropism of adenoviruses to assess the role of PTP1B in the liver. Liver-specific re-expression of PTP1B in PTP1B-/- mice led to marked attenuation of their enhanced insulin sensitivity. This correlated with, and was probably caused by, decreased insulin-stimulated tyrosyl phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR) and IR substrate 2-associated phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase activity. Analysis using phospho-specific antibodies for the IR revealed preferential dephosphorylation of Tyr-1162/1163 compared with Tyr-972 by PTP1B in vivo. Our findings show that the liver is a major site of the peripheral action of PTP1B in regulating glucose homeostasis. 相似文献

A human orthologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae YVH1 protein-tyrosine phosphatase is able to rescue the slow growth defect caused by the disruption of the S. cerevisiae YVH1 gene. The human YVH1 gene is located on chromosome 1q21-q22, which falls in a region amplified in human liposarcomas. The evolutionary conserved COOH-terminal noncatalytic domain of human YVH1 is essential for in vivo function. The cysteine-rich COOH-terminal domain is capable of coordinating 2 mol of zinc/mol of protein, defining it as a novel zinc finger domain. Human YVH1 is the first protein-tyrosine phosphatase that contains and is regulated by a zinc finger domain. 相似文献

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized at the molecular level by the expression of Bcr-Abl, a chimeric protein with deregulated tyrosine kinase activity. The protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is up-regulated in Bcr-Abl-expressing cells, suggesting a regulatory link between the two proteins. To investigate the interplay between these two proteins, we inhibited the activity of PTP1B in Bcr-Abl-expressing TonB.210 cells by either pharmacological or siRNA means and examined the effects of such inhibition on Bcr-Abl expression and function. Herein we describe a novel mechanism by which the phosphatase activity of PTP1B is required for Bcr-Abl protein stability. Inhibition of PTP1B elicits tyrosine phosphorylation of Bcr-Abl that triggers the degradation of Bcr-Abl through ubiquitination via the lysosomal pathway. The degradation of Bcr-Abl consequently inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation of Bcr-Abl substrates and the downstream production of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, PTP1B inhibition reduces cell viability and the IC(50) of the Bcr-Abl inhibitor imatinib mesylate. Degradation of Bcr-Abl via PTP1B inhibition is also observed in human CML cell lines K562 and LAMA-84. These results suggest that inhibition of PTP1B may be a useful strategy to explore in the development of novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of CML, particularly because host drugs currently used in CML such as imatinib focus on inhibiting the kinase activity of Bcr-Abl. 相似文献

Requirement for protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 in insulin-induced activation of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Mitogen-activated protein kinases, including extracellular signal-regulated kinases and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinases (JNKs), are activated by insulin. Although the mechanism by which the insulin receptor activates extracellular signal-regulated kinases is relatively well defined, the pathway that leads to JNK activation is poorly understood. Overexpression of a catalytically inactive mutant (SHP-2C/S) of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 in Rat-1 fibroblasts that also express human insulin receptors has now revealed that activation of JNKs by insulin and epidermal growth factor, but not that by anisomycin or sorbitol, requires SHP-2. A dominant negative mutant (RasN17) of Ha-Ras blocked insulin-induced JNK activation, whereas a dominant negative mutant (RacN17) of Rac1 or a specific inhibitor (LY294002) of phosphoinositide 3-kinase did not, indicating a role for Ras, but not for Rac or phosphoinositide 3-kinase, in this effect. SHP-2C/S markedly inhibited Ras activation in response to insulin without affecting insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular substrates or the dissociation of the Crk-p130(Cas) complex. In contrast, SHP-2C/S did not inhibit activation of JNKs induced by a constitutively active mutant (RasV12) of Ha-Ras. Furthermore, expression of myristoylated SOS, which functions as a potent activator of Ras, induced JNK activation even when SHP-2 was inactivated. These results suggest that SHP-2 contributes to JNK activation in response to insulin by positively regulating the Ras signaling pathway at the same level as, or upstream from, SOS. 相似文献

Receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP) alpha belongs to the large family of receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatases containing two tandem phosphatase domains. Most of the catalytic activity is retained in the first, membrane-proximal domain (RPTPalpha-D1), and little is known about the function of the second, membrane-distal domain (RPTPalpha-D2). We investigated whether proteins bound to RPTPalpha using the two-hybrid system and found that the second domain of RPTPsigma interacted with the juxtamembrane domain of RPTPalpha. We confirmed this interaction by co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Furthermore, RPTPalpha not only interacted with RPTPsigma-D2 but also with RPTPalpha-D2, LAR-D2, RPTPdelta-D2, and RPTPmu-D2, members of various RPTP subfamilies, although with different affinities. In the yeast two-hybrid system and in glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays, we show that the RPTP-D2s interacted directly with the wedge structure of RPTPalpha-D1 that has been demonstrated to be involved in inactivation of the RPTPalpha-D1/RPTPalpha-D1 homodimer. The interaction was specific because the equivalent wedge structure in LAR was unable to interact with RPTPalpha-D2 or LAR-D2. In vivo, we show that other interaction sites exist as well, including the C terminus of RPTPalpha-D2. The observation that RPTPalpha, but not LAR, bound to multiple RPTP-D2s with varying affinities suggests a specific mechanism of cross-talk between RPTPs that may regulate their biological function. 相似文献

Two proteins of Klebsiella pneumoniae, termed Yor5 and Yco6, were analyzed for their capacity to participate in the reversible phosphorylation of proteins on tyrosine. First, protein Yco6 was overproduced from its specific gene and purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography. Upon incubation in the presence of radioactive adenosine triphosphate, it was found to effectively autophosphorylate. Two-dimensional analysis of its phosphoamino acid content revealed that it was modified exclusively at tyrosine. Second, protein Yor5 was also overproduced from the corresponding gene and purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography. It was shown to contain a phosphatase activity capable of cleaving the synthetic substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate into p-nitrophenol and free phosphate. In addition, it was assayed on individual phosphorylated amino acids and appeared to dephosphorylate specifically phosphotyrosine, with no effect on phosphoserine or phosphothreonine. Such specificity for phosphotyrosine was confirmed by the observation that Yor5 was able to dephosphorylate protein Yco6 previously autophosphorylated. Together, these data demonstrate that similarly to other bacterial species including Acinetobacter johnsonii and Escherichia coli, the cells of K. pneumoniae contain both a protein-tyrosine kinase and a phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase. They also provide evidence that this phosphatase can utilize the kinase as an endogenous substrate, which suggests the occurrence of a regulatory mechanism connected with reversible protein phosphorylation on tyrosine. Since Yco6 and Yor5 are both involved in the synthesis of capsular polysaccharide and since capsules are essential to the virulence of K. pneumoniae, we suggest that reversible protein phosphorylation on tyrosine may be part of the cascade of reactions that determine the pathogenicity of bacteria. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a key regulator of the insulin-receptor and leptin-receptor signaling pathways, and it has therefore emerged as a critical antitype-II-diabetes and antiobesity drug target. Toward the goal of generating a covalent modulator of PTP1B activity that can be used for investigating its roles in cell signaling and disease progression, we report that the biarsenical probe FlAsH-EDT(2) can be used to inhibit PTP1B variants that contain cysteine point mutations in a key catalytic loop of the enzyme. The site-specific cysteine mutations have little effect on the catalytic activity of the enzyme in the absence of FlAsH-EDT(2). Upon addition of FlAsH-EDT(2), however, the activity of the engineered PTP1B is strongly inhibited, as assayed with either small-molecule or phosphorylated-peptide PTP substrates. We show that the cysteine-rich PTP1B variants can be targeted with the biarsenical probe in either whole-cell lysates or intact cells. Together, our data provide an example of a biarsenical probe controlling the activity of a protein that does not contain the canonical tetra-cysteine biarsenical-labeling sequence CCXXCC. The targeting of "incomplete" cysteine-rich motifs could provide a general means for controlling protein activity by targeting biarsenical compounds to catalytically important loops in conserved protein domains. 相似文献

It has been proposed that H(2)O(2) increases tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins by inhibiting protein-tyrosine phosphatase through oxidation of the cysteine residue of the enzyme essential for its catalytic activity. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the delta isoform of protein kinase C (PKC) was induced by H(2)O(2) in CHO and COS-7 cells. H(2)O(2) also induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase. Vanadate and molybdate, which inhibit protein-tyrosine phosphatase by binding to its active site, did not induce tyrosine phosphorylation of PKCdelta, but enhanced H(2)O(2)-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PKCdelta in the cell. The oxoanions, however, generated the active form of mitogen-activated protein kinase. Another protein-tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, phenylarsine oxide, which bridges the thiol residues of the enzyme, induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PKCdelta, and the reaction was enhanced by vanadate. These results suggest that inhibition of protein-tyrosine phosphatase is insufficient for induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of PKCdelta in the cells, and that presumably activation of protein-tyrosine kinase may be essential for tyrosine phosphorylation of the PKC isoform. 相似文献

Activation of the thiol protease calpain results in proteolysis of focal adhesion-associated proteins and severing of cytoskeletal-integrin links. We employed a commonly used inhibitor of calpain, calpeptin, to examine a role for this protease in the reorganization of the cytoskeleton under a variety of conditions. Calpeptin induced stress fiber formation in both forskolin-treated REF-52 fibroblasts and serum-starved Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Surprisingly, calpeptin was the only calpain inhibitor of several tested with the ability to induce these effects, suggesting that calpeptin may act on targets besides calpain. Here we show that calpeptin inhibits tyrosine phosphatases, enhancing tyrosine phosphorylation particularly of paxillin. Calpeptin preferentially inhibits membrane-associated phosphatase activity. Consistent with this observation, in vitro phosphatase assays using purified glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins demonstrated a preference for the transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase-alpha over the cytosolic protein-tyrosine phosphatase-1B. Furthermore, unlike wide spectrum inhibitors of tyrosine phosphatases such as pervanadate, calpeptin appeared to inhibit a subset of phosphatases. Calpeptin-induced assembly of stress fibers was inhibited by botulinum toxin C3, indicating that calpeptin is acting on a phosphatase upstream of the small GTPase Rho, a protein that controls stress fiber and focal adhesion assembly. Not only does this work reveal that calpeptin is an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine phosphatases, but it suggests that calpeptin will be a valuable tool to identify the phosphatase activity upstream of Rho. 相似文献

There has been considerable interest in the development of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitors since many of the PTP members are tightly associated with major human diseases including autoimmune disorders, diabetes and cancer. We report here a unique and rapid approach toward the development of novel PTP inhibitor entities based on triazolyl pseudo-glycopeptides. By employing microwave-accelerated Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC or ‘click reaction’), a series of triazole-linked serinyl, threoninyl, phenylalaninyl and tyrosinyl 1-O-gluco- or galactosides have been efficiently synthesized in high yields within only ∼30 min. Successive biological assay identified these glycopeptidotriazoles as favorable PTP1B and CDC25B inhibitors with selectivity over TCPTP, LAR, SHP-1 and SHP-2. Both the structural diversity of the amino acid (Ser, Thr, Phe and Tyr) introduced and the epimeric identity (Glc or Gal) on monosaccharide scaffold were determined to impact the corresponding inhibitory activity and selectivity. In addition, the benzylated sugar scaffold was demonstrated to act as a crucial role for enhancing the binding affinity of the inhibitors with the targeted PTP. Docking simulation was eventually conducted to propose plausible binding modes of this compound series with PTP1B and CDC25B. Our approach readily realized from naturally abundant raw materials (sugar and amino acid) and via facile, regioselective and expeditious synthetic method (microwave-assisted click reaction) might provide new insights toward the ‘click’ fabrication of structurally diverse PTP inhibitors. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) functions as major negative regulator of insulin and leptin signaling pathways. In view of
this, PTP1B is an significant target for drug development against cancer, diabetes and obesity. The aim of the current study is to
identify PTP1B inhibitors by means of virtual screening with docking. 523,366 molecules from ZINC database have been screened
and based on DOCK grid scores and hydrogen bonding interactions five new potential inhibitors were identified. ZINC12502589,
ZINC13213457, ZINC25721858, ZINC31392733 and ZINC04096400 were identified as potential lead molecules for inhibition of
PTP1B. The identified molecules were subjected to Lipinski''s rule of five parameters and found that they did not violate any rule.
More specific analysis of pharmacological parameters may be scrutinized through a complete ADME/Tox evaluation. Pharma
algorithm was used to Calculate ADME–Tox profiles for such molecules. In general, all the molecules presented advantages and as
well as disadvantages when compared to each other. No marked difference in health effects and toxicity profiles were observed
among these molecules. 相似文献

The fluorescence emission decays of single-tryptophan-containing peptides of different chain lengths in their unfolded state were investigated in the frequency domain. The data were analyzed using different functions, i.e., exponential fit and probability-density functions of different shape. We found that unimodal Lorentzian distributions best describe the fluorescence decays. This finding agrees with the point of view, now broadly accepted, that rapid motions exist in polypeptides. As a consequence of this flexibility, a large variety of conformations, with an unequal perturbation of tryptophan in its excited state, is generated. The lifetime distribution center was independent of the length of the polypeptide chain but strongly related to the nature of the amino acid residues located in the proximity of the tryptophan in the primary structure. The full width at half maximum, W, of the lifetime distribution was found to be related to the length of unfolded polypeptide by the empirical logarithmic relationship W = 0.83 log n, where n indicates the number of residues. For short peptides, a single lifetime or a narrow range of lifetimes is observed because of the fast relaxation of the tryptophanyl environment. On peptide lengthening, the spectrum of conformations, which the peptide can assume, increases; this causes a complex fluorescence decay represented by a lifetime distribution. For long polypeptide chains, the motions of the regions far from tryptophan do not significantly perturb the chromophore environment. 相似文献

Osmotic shock and growth-medium stimulation of Dictyostelium cells results in rapid cell rounding, a reduction in cell volume, and a rearrangement of the cytoskeleton that leads to resistance to osmotic shock. Osmotic shock induces the activation of guanylyl cyclase, a rise in cGMP mediating the phosphorylation of myosin II, and the tyrosine phosphorylation of actin and the approximately 130-kDa protein (p130). We present data suggesting that signaling pathways leading to these different responses are, at least in part, independent. We show that a variety of stresses induce the Ser/Thr phosphorylation of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase-3 (PTP3). This modification does not alter PTP3 catalytic activity but correlates with its translocation from the cytosol to subcellular structures that co-localize to endosomal vesicles. This translocation is independent of PTP3 activity. Mutation of the catalytically essential Cys to a Ser results in inactive PTP3 that forms a stable complex with tyrosine-phosphorylated p130 (pp130) in vivo and in vitro, suggesting that PTP3 has a substrate specificity for pp130. The data suggest that stresses activate several interacting signaling pathways controlled by Ser/Thr and Tyr phosphorylation, which, along with the activation of guanylyl cyclase, mediate the ability of this organism to respond to adverse changes in the external environment. 相似文献

The protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a classical non-transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase that plays a key role in metabolic signaling and can exert both tumor suppressing and tumor promoting effects in different cancers depending on the substrate involved and the cellular context. However, the expression level and function of PTP1B in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. In this study, PTP1B expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in normal liver tissue (n=16) and hepatocellular carcinoma (n=169). The correlations between PTP1B expression level and clinicopathologic features and patient survival were also analyzed. One hundred and eleven of 169 HCC patients (65.7%) had negative or low PTP1B expression in tumorous tissues, whereas normal tissues always expressed strong PTP1B. Decreased PTP1B expression was significantly associated with aggressive clinicopathologic features and poor prognosis. Immunohistochemistry also showed that low PTP1B expression level was correlated with high percentage of OV6(+) tumor-initiating cells (T-ICs) and high frequency of nuclear β-Catenin expression in HCC specimens. Our findings demonstrate for the first time that the loss of inhibitory effect of PTP1B may contribute to progression and invasion of HCC through activation of Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and expansion of liver T-ICs. PTP1B may serve as a valuable prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target in HCC. 相似文献

The Hic-5 protein is encoded by a transforming growth factor-beta1- and hydrogen peroxide-inducible gene, hic-5, and has striking similarity to paxillin, especially in their C-terminal LIM domains. Like paxillin, Hic-5 is localized in focal adhesion plaques in association with focal adhesion kinase in cultured fibroblasts. We carried out yeast two-hybrid screening to identify cellular factors that form a complex with Hic-5 using its LIM domains as a bait, and we identified a cytoplasmic tyrosine phosphatase (PTP-PEST) as one of the partners of Hic-5. These two proteins are associated in mammalian cells. From in vitro binding experiments using deletion and point mutations, it was demonstrated that the essential domain in Hic-5 for the binding was LIM 3. As for PTP-PEST, one of the five proline-rich sequences found on PTP-PEST, Pro-2, was identified as the binding site for Hic-5 in in vitro binding assays. Paxillin also binds to the Pro-2 domain of PTP-PEST. In conclusion, Hic-5 may participate in the regulation of signaling cascade through its interaction with distinct tyrosine kinases and phosphatases. 相似文献

The protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are a burgeoning family of proteins, each of which bears a conserved domain of 250 to 300 amino acids capable of phosphorylating substrate proteins on tyrosine residues. We recently exploited the existence of two highly conserved sequence elements within the catalytic domain to generate PTK-specific degenerate oligonucleotide primers (A. F. Wilks, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:1603-1607, 1989). By application of the polymerase chain reaction, portions of the catalytic domains of several novel PTKs were amplified. We describe here the primary sequence of one of these new PTKs, JAK1 (from Janus kinase), a member of a new class of PTK characterized by the presence of a second phosphotransferase-related domain immediately N terminal to the PTK domain. The second phosphotransferase domain bears all the hallmarks of a protein kinase, although its structure differs significantly from that of the PTK and threonine/serine kinase family members. A second member of this family (JAK2) has been partially characterized and exhibits a similar array of kinase-related domains. JAK1 is a large, widely expressed membrane-associated phosphoprotein of approximately 130,000 Da. The PTK activity of JAK1 has been located in the C-terminal PTK-like domain. The role of the second kinaselike domain is unknown. 相似文献

Cytokinesis is initiated by constriction of the cleavage furrow and terminated by abscission of the intercellular bridge that connects two separating daughter cells. The complicated processes of cytokinesis are coordinated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation mediated by protein kinases and phosphatases. Mammalian Misshapen-like kinase 1 (MINK1) is a member of the germinal center kinases and is known to regulate cytoskeletal organization and oncogene-induced cell senescence. To search for novel regulators of cytokinesis, we performed a screen using a library of siRNAs and found that MINK1 was essential for cytokinesis. Time-lapse analysis revealed that MINK1-depleted cells were able to initiate furrowing but that abscission was disrupted. STRN4 (Zinedin) is a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and was recently shown to be a component of a novel protein complex called striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK). Mass spectrometry analysis showed that MINK1 was a component of STRIPAK and that MINK1 directly interacted with STRN4. Similar to MINK1 depletion, STRN4-knockdown induced multinucleated cells and inhibited the completion of abscission. In addition, STRN4 reduced MINK1 activity in the presence of catalytic and structural subunits of PP2A. Our study identifies a novel regulatory network of protein kinases and phosphatases that regulate the completion of abscission. 相似文献

A novel protein phosphatase in Arabidopsis thaliana was identified by database searching. This protein, designated AtPTPKIS1, contains a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) catalytic domain and a kinase interaction sequence (KIS) domain. It is predicted to interact with plant SNF1-related kinases (SnRKs), representing central regulators of metabolic and stress responses. AtPTPKIS1 has close homologues in other plant species, both dicots and monocots, but is not found in other kingdoms. The tomato homologue of AtPTPKIS1 was expressed as a recombinant protein and shown to hydrolyse a generic phosphatase substrate, and phosphotyrosine residues in synthetic peptides. The KIS domain of AtPTPKIS1 was shown to interact with the plant SnRK AKIN11 both in vivo in the yeast two-hybrid system, and in vitro in a GST-fusion 'pull down' assay. The genomes of Arabidopsis and other plants contain further predicted proteins related to AtPTPKIS1, which could also interact with SnRKs and act in novel regulatory and signalling pathways. 相似文献
