The interaction of the brain-specific calmodulin-binding protein kinase C (PKC) substrate, neuromodulin (GAP 43), with membrane phospholipids was studied. Specific binding of neuromodulin to negatively charged phospholipids through electrostatic interactions was demonstrated. Comparison of the binding of neuromodulin to acidic phospholipids with that of neurogranin, a newly characterized calmodulin-binding PKC substrate (Baudier J., Deloulme, J. C., Van Dorsselaer, A., Black, D., and Mathes H. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 229-237) suggested that the conserved basic amino acid sequence which characterizes the two proteins and which corresponds to the PKC phosphorylation and calmodulin binding domain also serves as phospholipid binding site. In the absence of calmodulin, binding of neuromodulin to phosphatidylserine at low concentration parallels its phosphorylation by PKC, suggesting that formation of a ternary complex between neuromodulin, phosphatidylserine, and PKC is required for optimum neuromodulin phosphorylation. In the presence of calmodulin, the binding of neuromodulin to phosphatidylserine is inhibited, resulting in total inhibition of neuromodulin phosphorylation. Our results suggest that, in vivo, phosphorylation of neuromodulin may not only depend on protein kinase C (PKC)1 activation but also on the accessibility of the neuromodulin phosphorylation domain to activated membrane-bound PKC that could regulated by CaM. 相似文献

A recently cloned mouse cDNA designated F52 encodes a putative protein with striking sequence similarity to the MARCKS protein, a major cellular substrate for protein kinase C (PKC). Major regions of sequence similarity include the amino-terminal myristoylation consensus sequence and the central calmodulin-binding/PKC phosphorylation site domain. The F52 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli with apparent M(r) 50,000; it was a substrate for PKC and comigrated on two-dimensional electrophoresis with a myristoylated protein whose phosphorylation was stimulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in mouse neuroblastoma cells. The F52 protein also was myristoylated in E. coli by co-expression with N-myristoyltransferase. A 24-amino acid peptide derived from the protein's phosphorylation site domain was a good substrate for PKC; like the cognate MARCKS peptide, it was phosphorylated with high affinity (S0.5 = 173 nM) and positive cooperativity (KH = 5.4). The F52 peptide also bound calmodulin with high affinity (Kd = less than 3 nM); this binding could be disrupted by phosphorylation of the peptide with PKC, with a half-time of 8 min. The F52 protein is clearly a member of the MARCKS family as defined by primary sequence; in addition, the two proteins share several key attributes that may be functionally important. 相似文献

Mutation of Serine 41 in the Neuron-Specific Protein B-50 (GAP-43) Prohibits Phosphorylation by Protein Kinase C 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
H. B. Nielander L. H. Schrama A. J. van Rozen M. Kasperaitis A. B. Oestreicher W. H. Gispen P. Schotman 《Journal of neurochemistry》1990,55(4):1442-1445
The neuron-specific, calmodulin-binding protein B-50 (also known as GAP-43, F1, or neuromodulin) is an endogenous substrate of protein kinase C (PKC). PKC exclusively phosphorylates Ser residues in B-50. As potential phosphorylation sites for PKC, Ser41, Ser110, and Ser122 were indicated, of which Ser41 is contained in the sequence ASF, which matches with the sequence of a synthetic PKC substrate. N-terminally 35S-labeled B-50, produced from cDNA, was subjected to digestion with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease (SAP). Consecutively, 35S-labeled 28- and 15-kDa fragments were formed, similar to those after digestion of 32P-labeled B-50. In a previous study, we showed that the 32P-labeled 15-kDa SAP fragment contains all 32P radioactivity. The present data indicate that it contains the N-terminus of B-50 as well. The 15-kDa fragment, with a calculated length ranging from amino acid residue 1 to 65, contains only one potential PKC phosphorylation site, at Ser41. Mutagenesis of Ser41 into Thr or Ala resulted in recombinant B-50 products with mobilities on two-dimensional electrophoresis similar to those of the nonmutated recombinant B-50 and the rat brain B-50. Only [Ser41]B-50 was phosphorylated by PKC, whereas [Thr41]- or [Ala41]B-50 did not show any phosphorylation at the positions indicated on the immunoblots. This leads us to the conclusion that Ser41 is the sole phosphorylation site for PKC in vitro. 相似文献

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is a key enzyme in nitric oxide-mediated signal transduction in mammalian cells. Its catalytic activity is regulated both by regulatory proteins, such as calmodulin and caveolin, and by a variety of post-translational modifications including phosphorylation and acylation. We have previously shown that the calmodulin-binding domain peptide is a good substrate for protein kinase C [Matsubara, M., Titani, K., and Taniguchi, H. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 14651-14658]. Here we report that bovine eNOS protein is phosphorylated at Thr497 in the calmodulin-binding domain by PKC both in vitro and in vivo, and that the phosphorylation negatively regulates eNOS activity. A specific antibody that recognizes only the phosphorylated form of the enzyme was raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylated domain. The antibody recognized eNOS immunoprecipitated with anti-eNOS antibody from the soluble fraction of bovine aortic endothelial cells, and the immunoreactivity increased markedly when the cells were treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. PKC phosphorylated eNOS specifically at Thr497 with a concomitant decrease in the NOS activity. Furthermore, the phosphorylated eNOS showed reduced affinity to calmodulin. Therefore, PKC regulates eNOS activity by changing the binding of calmodulin, an eNOS activator, to the enzyme. 相似文献

Transformed 3T3 cells have reduced levels and altered subcellular distribution of the major PKC substrate protein marcks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The MARCKS (myristylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate) protein is an abundant calmodulin-binding protein that is a major and specific endogenous substrate of protein kinase C (PKC). Stimulation of cells with phorbol esters or other activators of PKC has been shown previously to result in rapid phosphorylation of MARCKS proteins and redistribution of these myristylated C-kinase substrates from membrane to cytosol. Here we show that NIH3T3 murine fibroblasts transformed by p21-HA-C-RAS or pp60-V-SRC oncoproteins have markedly reduced levels of p68-MARCKS and that most of the remaining MARCKS protein is found in the cytosol. 3T3 cells containing a nontransforming oncoprotein p26-BCL2, in contrast, exhibited normal levels and distribution of p68-MARCKS. When taken together with recent evidence that MARCKS proteins are involved in regulating organization of the membrane cytoskeleton, our findings suggest that oncoprotein-mediated alterations in MARCKS protein levels and subcellular distribution may contribute to the development or maintenance of the transformed phenotpe. 相似文献

A 6-acryloyl-2-dimethylaminonapthalene (acrylodan)-labeled 25-amino acid peptide (acrylodan-CKK-KKRFSFKKSFKLSGFSFKKNKK-COO-), containing the protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation sites of brain myristoylated alanine-rich kinase C substrate protein, undergoes a 20% fluorescence decrease when it is phosphorylated by phospholipid/calcium-dependent protein kinase (PKC). This fluorescence decrease is dependent on the presence of PKC, calcium (half-maximal stimulation at pCa = 6.2), phosphatidylserine, diacylglycerol, or phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (half-maximal stimulation at 2 nM) and ATP, and correlates well (r = 0.997) with [32P]phosphate incorporation into the peptide. This fluorescence assay allows detection of 0.02 nM PKC, while similar concentrations of cyclic AMP-dependent or type II calmodulin-dependent protein kinases produced no change in peptide fluorescence. The method can be used to assay purified PKC as well as activity in crude brain homogenates. Incubation of PKC with staurosporine inhibits the fluorescence decrease with an IC50 of 2 nM. Thus the fluorescence decrease that occurs in the acrylodan-peptide provides a continuous fluorescence assay for PKC activity. 相似文献

Macrophage spreading requires the microtubule cytoskeleton and protein kinase C (PKC). The mechanism of involvement of the microtubules and PKC in this event is not fully understood. Dynamitin is a subunit of dynactin, which is important for linking the microtubule-dependent motor protein dynein to vesicle membranes. We report that dynamitin is a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-binding protein and that dynamitin binds directly to macrophage-enriched myristoylated alanine-rice C kinase substrate (MacMARCKS), a membrane-associated PKC substrate involved in macrophage spreading and integrin activation. Dynamitin was found to copurify with MacMARCKS both during MacMARCKS purification with conventional chromatography and during the immunoabsorption of MacMARCKS using anti-MacMARCKS antibody. Vice versa, MacMARCKS was also found to cosediment with the 20 S dynactin complex. We determined that the effector domain of MacMARCKS is required to interact with the N-terminal domain of dynamitin. MacMARCKS and dynamitin also partially colocalized at peripheral regions of macrophages and in the cell-cell border of 293 epithelial cells. Treatment with phorbol esters abolished this colocalization. Disrupting the interaction with a short peptide derived from the MacMARCKS-binding domain of dynamitin caused macrophages to spread and flatten. These data suggest that the dynamitin-MacMARCKS interaction is involved in cell spreading. Furthermore, the regulation of this interaction by PKC and Ca(2+)/calmodulin provides a possible regulatory mechanism for cell adhesion and spreading. 相似文献

Protein kinase C substrates from bovine brain. Purification and characterization of neuromodulin, a neuron-specific calmodulin-binding protein 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Although such solubility is uncommon among proteins generally, several bovine brain proteins were found to be soluble in 2.5% perchloric acid, and many of them were in vitro substrates for protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme). Two of the perchloric acid-soluble brain proteins were purified, p43 and p17. P43 and p17 could be phosphorylated by protein kinase C only in the presence of Ca2+ and phospholipids and neither was a substrate for protein kinase II. P43 was subsequently identified as the neurospecific, calmodulin-binding protein, neuromodulin (also designated P-57, GAP43, B50, or F1) (Alexander, K. H., Wakim, B. T., Doyle, G. S., Walsh, K. A., and Storm, D. R. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 7544-7549). A rapid purification method for neuromodulin was developed taking advantage of its newly discovered property, solubility in 2.5% perchloric acid, and of its previously recognized calmodulin-binding property. Evidence was obtained that neuromodulin isolated from cytosolic extract exists as a mixture of molecular forms and that the Ca2+-binding S100 protein-beta discriminates among the different neuromodulin isoforms in forming covalent complexes via disulfide bridges; this discrimination may be explained by analogous differences observed between the NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of p57 and F1. Solubility in 2.5% perchloric acid was demonstrated for another rat brain protein kinase C substrate, p87. We suggest that perchloric acid solubility might be a common property of protein kinase C substrates. 相似文献

MARCKS (Myristoylated Alanine Rich C Kinase Substrate) is a protein known to cross-link actin filament and consequently, is very important in the stabilization of the cytoskeletal structure. In addition, it has been recently demonstrated that the phosphorylation rate of this protein changes during myogenesis and that this protein is implicated in fusion events. For a better understanding of the biological function of MARCKS during myogenesis, we have undertaken to identify and purify this protein from rabbit skeletal muscle. Three chromatographic steps including an affinity calmodulin-agarose column were performed. The existence of a complex between the two proteins was confirmed by non-denaturing gel electrophoresis and immunoprecipitation. Two complexes were isolated which present an apparent molecular weight of about 600 kDa. Such interactions suggest that MARCKS is either a very good PKCalpha substrate and/or a regulator of PKC activity. These results are supported by previous studies showing preferential interactions and co-localization of PKC isozyme and MARCKS at focal adhesion sites. This is the first time that MARCKS has been purified from skeletal muscle and our data are consistent with a major role of this actin- and calmodulin-binding protein in cytoskeletal rearrangement or other functions mediated by PKalpha. Our results provide evidence for a tight and specific association of MARCKS and PKCalpha (a major conventional PKC isozyme in skeletal muscle) as indicated by the co-purification of the two proteins. 相似文献

The acidic 80 kDa protein kinase C (PKC) substrate was purified from 2.3 x 10(10) Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Partial amino acid sequence data were obtained from five peptides generated by S. aureus V8 cleavage of the protein, enabling a total of 91 amino acid residues to be assigned. The sequences of these five peptides were compared to the deduced amino acid sequences of acidic 80-87 kDa PKC substrates from both actively proliferating A431 epidermal carcinoma cells, and fully differentiated neural tissue. Despite their similar physical properties, there was no homology between the peptides derived from the fibroblast 80 kDa protein and the PKC substrate from A431 cells. However, there was 66% homology with the 87 kDa bovine brain protein within the regions covered by the peptides about 30% of the total protein). Furthermore, comparison of the peptides from the fibroblast 80 kDa protein with proteolytic peptides derived from the acidic 80 kDa rat brain protein revealed an overall homology of 89%. These data provide the first direct evidence that the 80 kDa PKC substrate from Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts is closely related to the 80-87 kDa PKC substrates detected in fully differentiated neural tissue. 相似文献

Calmodulin-Binding Proteins and Calcium/Calmodulin Regulated Enzyme Activities Associated with Brain Actomyosin 总被引:7,自引:1,他引:6

Calcium- and calmodulin-regulated ATPase and protein kinase activities are shown to be strongly associated with brain actomyosin. Similar enzymatic activities and an invariable polypeptide profile on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were obtained for brain actomyosin taken through a solubilization-precipitation cycle (1.0-0.1 M KCl), or precipitated from buffers containing 1% Triton X-100 or 10 mM EDTA and 10 mM EGTA. These data suggest a specific complex of brain actomyosin with a protein kinase similar to calmodulin-dependent kinase II, a 190-kDa calmodulin-binding protein (P190), and a calmodulin-like polypeptide. P190 was the major substrate for endogenous calcium-dependent phosphorylation. 125I-Calmodulin overlay technique revealed four major calmodulin-binding polypeptides associated with brain actomyosin: 50- and 60-kDa subunits of the calmodulin-dependent kinase II, P190, and a high molecular weight polypeptide which is probably fodrin. A fraction enriched in P190 had Ca2(+)- and calmodulin-stimulated MgATPase activity, but not myosin-like K-EDTA ATPase activity. The lack of immunological cross-reactivity between brain myosin heavy chain and P190 confirmed that they are distinct molecules. 相似文献

Calmodulin-binding proteins are involved in numerous cellular signaling pathways. The biotinylated-calmodulin overlay is a nonradioactive method widely used to detect calmodulin-binding proteins in tissue and cell samples. This method has several limitations; therefore, we developed a nonradioactive calmodulin-binding protein detection overlay using an S-tag-labeled calmodulin fusion protein. An expression system was used to generate a calmodulin fusion protein with an S-tag label, a 15 amino acid sequence that binds to a 105 amino acid S-protein. The S-protein is conjugated to horseradish peroxidase for final detection with a chemiluminescent substrate. The S-tag calmodulin was compared to purified calmodulin and biotinylated calmodulin in a calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase assay. The results of the calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase assay indicate that S-tag calmodulin induces higher phosphodiesterase activity than biotinylated calmodulin and lower activity than purified calmodulin. A comparison of the biotinylated and S-tag calmodulin overlay assays indicate that S-tag calmodulin is more sensitive than biotinylated calmodulin in the detection of calcineurin, a known calmodulin-binding protein. The overlay assay results also indicate that the S-tag calmodulin and biotinylated calmodulin detect similar calmodulin-binding proteins in colon epithelial cells. In conclusion, the S-tag calmodulin overlay assay is a consistent, sensitive, and rapid nonradioactive method to detect calmodulin-binding proteins. 相似文献

Protein kinase C phosphorylates the carboxyl terminus of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase from human erythrocytes. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Purified Ca(2+)-stimulated, Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase (Ca(2+)-ATPase) from human erythrocytes was phosphorylated with a stoichiometry of about 1 mol of phosphate/mol of ATPase at both threonine and serine residues by purified rat brain type III protein kinase C. In the presence of calmodulin, the phosphorylation was markedly reduced. Labeled phosphate from [gamma-32P]ATP was retained on an 86-kDa calmodulin-binding tryptic fragment of Ca(2+)-ATPase but not on 82- and 77-kDa non-calmodulin-binding fragments. Similarly, fragmentation of the phosphorylated Ca(2+)-ATPase by calpain I revealed that calmodulin-binding fragments (127 and 125 kDa) retained phosphate label whereas a non-calmodulin-binding fragment (124 kDa) did not. The calmodulin-binding domain, located about 12 kDa from the carboxyl terminus of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, was thus located as a site of protein kinase C phosphorylation. A synthetic peptide corresponding to a segment of the calmodulin-binding domain (H2 N-R-G-L-N-R-I-Q-T-Q-I-K-V-V-N-COOH) was indeed phosphorylated at the single threonine residue within this sequence. The additional serine phosphorylation site was carboxyl terminal to the calmodulin domain. Phosphorylation by purified type III protein kinase C (canine heart) antagonized the calmodulin activation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, particularly at lower Ca2+ concentrations (0.2-1.0 microM). By contrast, a purified but unresolved protein kinase C isoenzyme mixture from rat brain stimulated the activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase prepared in asolectin, but not glycerol, by more than 2-fold in the presence of the ionophore A23187, without increasing its Ca2+ sensitivity. The results clearly indicate that human erythrocyte Ca(2+)-ATPase is a substrate of protein kinase C, but the effect of phosphorylation on the activity of the enzyme depends on the isoenzyme form of protein kinase C used and on the lipid associated with the Ca(2+)-ATPase. 相似文献

1. A calmodulin-binding protein of apparent mol.wt. 19 000 has been purified from chicken gizzard. Similar proteins have been isolated from bovine uterus, rabbit skeletal muscle and rabbit liver. 2. These proteins migrated as an equimolar complex with bovine brain calmodulin on electroporesis on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of Ca2+ and 6M-urea. The complex was dissociated in the presence of EGTA. 2. The chicken gizzard calmodulin-binding protein has been shown to be identical with chicken erythrocyte histone H2B on the basis of partial amino acid sequence determination. 4. The calmodulin-binding proteins of apparent mol.wt. 22 000 isolated previously from bovine brain [Grand & Perry (1979) Biochem. J. 183, 285-295] has been shown, on the basis of partial amino-acid-sequence determination, to be identical with myelin basic protein. 5. The activation of bovine brain phosphodiesterase by calmodulin is inhibited by excess bovine uterus calmodulin-binding protein (histone H2B). 6. The phosphorylation of myelin basic protein by phosphorylase kinase is partially inhibited, whereas the phosphorylation of uterus calmodulin-binding protein (histone H2B) is unaffected by calmodulin or troponin C. 7. The subcellular distribution of myelin basic protein and calmodulin suggests that the two proteins do not exist as a complex in vivo. 相似文献

Calmodulin-Binding Proteins in Chromaffin Cell Plasma Membranes 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Abstract: Calmodulin-binding proteins present in chromaffin cell plasma membranes were isolated and directly compared with calmodulin-binding proteins present in chromaffin granule membranes. Chromaffin cell plasma membranes were prepared using Cytodex 1 microcarriers. Marker enzyme studies on this preparation showed a nine- to 10–fold plasma membrane enrichment over cell homogenates and a low contamination of these plasma membranes by subcellular organelles. Plasma membranes prepared in this manner were solubilized with Triton X-100 and applied to a calmodulin-affinity column in the presence of calcium. Several major calmodulin-binding proteins ( 240, 105 , and 65 kilodaltons) were eluted by an EGTA-containing buffer. 125I-Calmodulin overlay experiments on nitrocellulose sheets containing both chromaffin plasma and granule membranes showed that these two membranes have several calmodulin-binding proteins in common ( 65, 60, 53 , and 50 kilodaltons), as well as unique calmodulin-binding proteins (34 kilodaltons in granule membranes and 240 and 160 kilodaltons in plasma membranes). The 65–kilodalton calmodulin-binding protein present in both membrane types was shown to consist of two isoforms (pI 6.0 and 6.2) by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Previous experiments from our laboratory, using two monoclonal antibodies (mAb 30 and mAb 48) specific for a rat brain synaptic vesicle membrane protein (p65), showed that the monoclonal antibodies reacted with a 65–kilodalton calmodulin-binding protein present in at least three neurosecretory vesicles (chromaffin granules, neurohypophyseal granules, and rat brain synaptic vesicles). When these monoclonal antibodies were tested on chromaffin cell plasma membranes and calmodulin-binding proteins isolated from these membranes, they recognized a 65–kilodalton protein. These results indicate that an immunologically identical calmodulin-binding protein is expressed in both chromaffin granule membranes (as well as other secretory vesicle membranes) and chromaffin cell plasma membranes, thus suggesting a possible role for this protein in granule/plasma membrane interaction. 相似文献

Identification of the Major Postsynaptic Density Protein as Homologous with the Major Calmodulin-Binding Subunit of a Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase 总被引:17,自引:17,他引:17

The major postsynaptic density protein (mPSDp), comprising greater than 50% of postsynaptic density (PSD) protein, is an endogenous substrate for calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation as well as a calmodulin-binding protein in PSD preparations. The results in this investigation indicate that mPSDp is highly homologous with the major calmodulin-binding subunit (p) of tubulin-associated calmodulin-dependent kinase (TACK), and that PSD fractions also contain a protein homologous with the sigma-subunit of TACK. Homologies between mPSDp and a 63,000 dalton PSD protein and the rho- and sigma-subunits of TACK were established by the following criteria: (1) identical apparent molecular weights; (2) identical calmodulin-binding properties; (3) manifestation of Ca2+-calmodulin-stimulated autophosphorylation; (4) identical isoelectric points; (5) identical calmodulin binding and autophosphorylation patterns on two-dimensional gels; (6) homologous two-dimensional tryptic peptide maps; and (7) similar phosphoamino acid-specific phosphorylation of tubulin. The results suggest that mPSDp is a calmodulin-binding protein involved in modulating protein kinase activity in the postsynaptic density and that a tubulin kinase system homologous with TACK exists in a membrane-bound form in the PSD. 相似文献

A Similar Calmodulin-Binding Protein Expressed in Chromaffin, Synaptic, and Neurohypophyseal Secretory Vesicles 总被引:7,自引:3,他引:4
The presence of calmodulin-binding proteins in three neurosecretory vesicles (bovine adrenal chromaffin granules, bovine posterior pituitary secretory granules, and rat brain synaptic vesicles) was investigated. When detergent-solubilized membrane proteins from each type of secretory organelle were applied to calmodulin-affinity columns in the presence of calcium, several calmodulin-binding proteins were retained and these were eluted by EGTA from the columns. In all three membranes, a 65-kilodalton (63 kilodaltons in rat brain synaptic vesicles) and a 53-kilodalton protein were found consistently in the EGTA eluate. 125I-Calmodulin overlay tests on nitrocellulose sheets containing transferred chromaffin and posterior pituitary secretory granule membrane proteins showed a similarity in the protein bands labeled with radioactive calmodulin. In the presence of 10(-4) M calcium, eight major protein bands (240, 180, 145, 125, 65, 60, 53, and 49 kilodaltons) were labeled with 125I-calmodulin. The presence of 10 microM trifluoperazine (a calmodulin antagonist) significantly reduced this labeling, while no labeling was seen in the presence of 1 mM EGTA. Two monoclonal antibodies (mAb 30, mAb 48), previously shown to react with a cholinergic synaptic vesicle membrane protein of approximate molecular mass of 65 kilodaltons, were tested on total membrane proteins from the three different secretory vesicles and on calmodulin-binding proteins isolated from these membranes using calmodulin-affinity chromatography. Both monoclonal antibodies reacted with a 65-kilodalton protein present in membranes from chromaffin and posterior pituitary secretory granules and with a 63-kilodalton protein present in rat brain synaptic vesicle membranes. When the immunoblotting was repeated on secretory vesicle membrane calmodulin-binding proteins isolated by calmodulin-affinity chromatography, an identical staining pattern was obtained. These results clearly indicate that an immunologically identical calmodulin-binding protein is expressed in at least three different neurosecretory vesicle types, thus suggesting a common role for this protein in secretory vesicle function. 相似文献

Protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes play crucial roles in neuronal signal transduction and can regulate transmitter release, ion channels, neural development, and plasticity. In vitro assays of PKC are frequently used to associate PKC activity with cellular function, and the availability of selective PKC substrates can facilitate such studies. We have characterized a commercially available 12 amino acid peptide derived from the myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS-PSD, Calbiochem) for use in crude rat brain homogenates. Assays were performed at 25 degrees C for 10 min (linear up to 12 min) using optimal concentrations of calcium and lipid cofactors. Kinetic analysis of MARCKS-PSD phosphorylation by PKC purified from rat brain gave a K(m) of 2.3 microM, which was similar to the K(m) of 2.8 microM obtained using rat brain cortical homogenates. The selective PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide reduced phosphorylation of MARCKS-PSD in a concentration-dependent manner, with greater than 95% inhibition at 1.0 microM. MARCKS-PSD was more potent than another widely used selective PKC substrate (neurogranin((28-43)) and was a good substrate for human recombinant PKC alpha, delta, and epsilon but not zeta. The ontogeny of PKC activity was examined in the cortex and cerebellum. PKC activity was low at birth and reached adult levels by 21 days of age in both regions. Calcium-independent PKC activity in brain homogenates could be measured with MARCKS-PSD and accounted for approximately 25 and 10% of total activity in 1-day-old and adult rat cortex, respectively. These results suggest that the MARCKS-PSD peptide can be used as a selective PKC substrate in rat brain homogenates. 相似文献

Phosphorylation-regulated calmodulin binding to a prominent cellular substrate for protein kinase C 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

We have evaluated the possibility that a major, abundant cellular substrate for protein kinase C might be a calmodulin-binding protein. We have recently labeled this protein, which migrates on sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis with an apparent Mr of 60,000 from chicken and 80,000-87,000 from bovine cells and tissues, the myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS). The MARCKS proteins from both species could be cross-linked to 125I-calmodulin in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Phosphorylation of either protein by protein kinase C prevented 125I-calmodulin binding and cross-linking, suggesting that the calmodulin-binding domain might be located at or near the sites of protein kinase C phosphorylation. Both bovine and chicken MARCKS proteins contain an identical 25-amino acid domain that contains all 4 of the serine residues phosphorylated by protein kinase C in vitro. In addition, this domain is similar in sequence and structure to previously described calmodulin-binding domains. A synthetic peptide corresponding to this domain inhibited calmodulin binding to the MARCKS protein and also could be cross-linked to 125I-calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner. In addition, protein kinase C-dependent phosphorylation of the synthetic peptide inhibited its binding and cross-linking to 125I-calmodulin. The peptide bound to fluorescently labeled 5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl-calmodulin with a dissociation constant of 2.8 nM, and inhibited the calmodulin-dependent activation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase with an IC50 of 4.8 nM. Thus, the peptide mimics the calmodulin-binding properties of the MARCKS protein and probably represents its calmodulin-binding domain. Phosphorylation of these abundant, high affinity calmodulin-binding proteins by protein kinase C in intact cells could cause displacement of bound calmodulin, perhaps leading to activation of Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent processes. 相似文献
