The lipid bound to p60src, the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus, has been identified by gas and thin-layer chromatography as the 14-carbon saturated fatty acid, myristic acid. The protein can be labeled biosynthetically with either [3H]myristic acid or [3H]palmitic acid. Incorporation of [3H]myristic acid was noticeably greater than incorporation of [3H]palmitic acid. All of the [3H]myristic acid-derived label in p60src was present as myristic acid. In contrast, none of the radioactivity derived from [3H]palmitic acid was recovered as palmitic acid. Instead, all 3H incorporated into p60src from [3H]palmitic acid arose by metabolism to myristic acid. The cellular tyrosine kinase, p60c-src also contains myristic acid. By comparison of the extent of myristylation of p60v-src with that of the Moloney murine leukemia virus structural protein precursor, Pr65gag, we estimate that greater than 80% of the molecules of p60v-src contain one molecule of this fatty acid. Myristylation is a rare form of protein modification. p60v-src contains 10 to 40% of the myristic acid bound to protein in cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus and is easily identified in total cell lysates when [3H]myristic acid-labeled proteins are separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Comparison of the amount of [3H]myristic acid-labeled p60src in total cell lysates and in immunoprecipitates suggests that immunoprecipitation with rabbit anti-Rous sarcoma virus tumor sera detects ca. 25% of the p60src present in cells. 相似文献

Acylation of cellular proteins with endogenously synthesized fatty acids 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
A number of cellular proteins contain covalently bound fatty acids. Previous studies have identified myristic acid and palmitic acid covalently linked to protein, the former usually attached to proteins by an amide linkage and the latter by ester or thio ester linkages. While in a few instances specific proteins have been isolated from cells and their fatty acid composition has been determined, the most frequent approach to the identification of protein-linked fatty acids is to biosynthetically label proteins with fatty acids added to intact cells. This procedure introduces possible bias in that only a selected fraction of proteins may be labeled, and it is not known whether the radioactive fatty acid linked to the protein is identical with that which is attached to the protein when the fatty acid is derived from endogenous sources. We have examined the distribution of protein-bound fatty acid following labeling with [3H]acetate, a general precursor of all fatty acids, using BC3H1 cells (a mouse muscle cell line) and A431 cells (a human epidermoid carcinoma). Myristate, palmitate, and stearate account for essentially all of the fatty acids linked to protein following labeling with [3H]acetate, but at least 30% of the protein-bound palmitate in these cells was present in amide linkage. In BC3H1 cells, exogenous palmitate becomes covalently bound to protein such that less than 10% of the fatty acid is present in amide linkage. These data are compatible with multiple protein acylating activities specific for acceptor protein fatty acid chain length and linkage.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

p21v-H-ras, the transforming protein of Harvey murine sarcoma virus, contains a covalently attached lipid. Using thin-layer chromatography, we identified the acyl group as the 16-carbon saturated fatty acid palmitic acid. No myristic acid was detected in fatty acids released from in vivo-labeled p21v-H-ras. The p21v-K-ras protein encoded by Kirsten sarcoma virus was also palmitylated. The processing and acylation of p21v-K-ras however differed from that of p21v-H-ras. Three forms of [3H]palmitic acid-labeled p21ras proteins were detected in Kirsten sarcoma virus-transformed cells. This contrasted with Harvey sarcoma virus, in which two forms of p21v-H-ras contained palmitic acid. Analysis by partial proteolysis of p21v-H-ras labeled with [3H]palmitic acid suggested that all of the lipid found in intact p21v-H-ras was located in the C-terminal region. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, p21v-H-ras labeled with [3H]palmitic acid migrated slightly ahead of the majority of p21v-H-ras. Of the mature forms of p21v-H-ras, apparently only a subpopulation contains palmitic acid. 相似文献

Myristic acid, a minor component of cellular fatty acids, has been shown previously to be covalently bound to most molecules of p60src, the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus. We have now determined at what time during the life cycle of p60src, and where within the cell, this lipid becomes attached to the protein. p60src was found to acquire myristic acid at only one time, during or immediately after its synthesis. p60src is known to be synthesized on free polysomes and appears at the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane after a lag of 10 min. The addition of myristic acid to p60src therefore precedes the binding of the protein to the plasma membrane. The lipid attached to p60src is a permanent, metabolically stable part of the protein; we found no evidence for turnover of the myristyl moiety. However, we did find myristate attached to various soluble forms of p60src and to a large number of cytosolic cellular proteins as well. This demonstrates that the attachment of myristic acid to a protein is not in itself sufficient to convert a soluble protein into a membrane-bound protein. 相似文献

Fatty acid acylation is a functionally important modification of proteins. In the liver, however, acylated proteins remain largely unknown. This work was aimed at investigating fatty acid acylation of proteins in cultured rat hepatocytes. Incubation of these cells with [9,10-3H] myristic acid followed by two-dimensional electrophoresis separation of the delipidated cellular proteins and autoradiography evidenced the reproducible and selective incorporation of radioactivity from the precursor into 18 well-resolved proteins in the 10--120 kDa range and the 4--7 pH range. Radiolabeling of these proteins resulted from covalent linkage to the precursor [9,10-3H] myristic acid or to its elongation product, palmitic acid. The majority of the covalent linkages between the proteins and the fatty acids were broken by base hydrolysis, which indicated that the linkage was of thioester or ester-type. Only one of the studied proteins was attached to myristic acid via an amide linkage which resisted the basic treatment but was broken by acid hydrolysis. After incubation with [9,10-3H] palmitic acid, only two proteins previously detected with myristic acid were radiolabeled. Finally, the identified acylated proteins may be grouped into two classes: proteins involved in signal transduction (the alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric G protein and several small G proteins) and cytoskeletal proteins (cytokeratins, actin). 相似文献

Fatty acid acylation of proteins in Physarum polycephalum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have investigated the occurrence of protein-fatty acid acylation by metabolic incorporation of [3H]myristic and [3H]palmitic acids in Physarum polycephalum. We show that this organism contains fatty acylated proteins with mainly myristic acid covalently attached in alkali-stable linkages, probably amides. We find no evidence for ester-linked fatty acids, in contrast to the situation in vertebrate cells. 相似文献

Endogenous fatty acids are covalently and noncovalently bound to interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein in the monkey retina 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) purified from monkey interphotoreceptor matrix contains relatively high concentrations of endogenous fatty acids, 6.51 mol/mol of protein. Sixty-five percent of the total fatty acid bound to IRBP was found to be noncovalently attached, with the remainder covalently bound. The fatty acids are not residual components of phospholipids or neutral lipids, as judged by microchemical methods. The major fatty acids bound to IRBP are: palmitic (35%), stearic (21%), palmitoleic (7%), oleic (29%), linoleic (6%) and docosahexaenoic acids (2%). These fatty acids account for about 90% of the total fatty acid bound to interphotoreceptor matrix proteins extracted with organic solvents. Thus, IRBP may function as an intercellular fatty acid carrier and may depend on the covalently bound fatty acids for anchoring in the outer leaflet of cell membranes. 相似文献

Myristyl and palmityl acylation of the insulin receptor 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
The presence of covalently bound fatty acids in the insulin receptor has been explored in cultured human (IM-9) lymphocytes. Both alpha (Mr = 135,000) and beta (Mr = 95,000) subunits of the receptor incorporate [3H]myristic and [3H]palmitic acids in a covalent form. The effects of alkali and hydroxylamine on the labeled subunits indicate the existence of two different kinds of fatty acid linkage to the protein with chemical stabilities compatible with amide and ester bonds. The alpha subunit contains only amide-linked fatty acid while the beta subunit has both amide- and ester-linked fatty acids. Analysis by high performance liquid chromatography after acid hydrolysis of the [3H]myristate- and [3H]palmitate-labeled subunits demonstrates the fatty acid nature of the label. Furthermore, both [3H]myristic and [3H]palmitic acids are found attached to the receptor subunits regardless of which fatty acid was used for labeling. The incorporation of fatty acids into the insulin receptor is dependent on protein synthesis and is also detectable in the Mr = 190,000 proreceptor form. Fatty acylation is a newly identified post-translational modification of the insulin receptor which may have an important role in its interaction with the membrane and/or its biological function. 相似文献

This study was designed to examine the metabolic fate of exogenous lauric acid in cultured rat hepatocytes, in terms of both lipid metabolism and acylation of proteins. Radiolabeled [14C]-lauric acid at 0.1 mM in the culture medium was rapidly taken up by the cells (94.8 +/- 2.2% of the initial radioactivity was cleared from the medium after a 4 h incubation) but its incorporation into cellular lipids was low (24.6 +/- 4.2% of initial radioactivity after 4 h), due to the high beta-oxidation of lauric acid in hepatocytes (38.7 +/- 4.4% after the same time). Among cellular lipids, lauric acid was preferentially incorporated into triglycerides (10.6 +/- 4.6% of initial radioactivity after 4 h). Lauric acid was also rapidly converted to palmitic acid by two successive elongations. Protein acylation was detected after metabolic labeling of the cells with [11,12-3H]-lauric acid. Two-dimensional electrophoresis separation of the cellular proteins and autoradiography evidenced the incorporation of radioactivity into 35 well-resolved proteins. Radiolabeling of several proteins resulted from covalent linkage to the precursor [11,12-3H]-lauric acid or to its elongation product, myristic acid. The covalent linkages between these proteins and lauric acid were broken by base hydrolysis, indicating that the linkage was of the thioester or ester-type. Endogenous myristic acid produced by lauric acid elongation was used for both protein N-myristoylation and protein S-acylation. Therefore, these results show for the first time that, although it is rapidly metabolized in hepatocytes, exogenous lauric acid is a substrate for the acylation of liver proteins. 相似文献

The cell membrane of Mycoplasma mobile was isolated by either ultrasonic or French press treatment of intact cells. The membrane fraction contained all of the cellular lipids, but only one-third of cellular proteins and had a density of 1.14 g ml-1. The soluble fraction contained the NADH dehydrogenase activity of the cells, as well as a protein with an apparent molecular mass of 55 kDa that was phosphorylated in the presence of ATP. Lipid analyses of M. mobile membranes revealed that membrane lipid could be labelled by radioactive glycerol, oleate and to a much higher extent by palmitate but not by acetic acid. The membrane lipid fraction was composed of 54% neutral and 46% polar lipid. The major constituents of the neutral lipid fraction were free fatty acid, free cholesterol and cholesterol esters (45, 25 and 20%, respectively, of total neutral lipid fraction). The free cholesterol count was 13% (w/w) of total membrane lipids with a cholesterol:phospholipid molar ratio of about 0.9. Among the polar lipids, both phospho- and glycolipids were detected. The phospholipid fraction consisted of a major de novo-synthesized phosphatidylglycerol (approximately 63% of total phospholipids), plus exogenous phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin incorporated in an unchanged form from the growth medium. The glycolipid fraction was dominated by a single glycolipid (approximately 90% of total glycolipids) that was preferentially labelled by palmitic acid and showed a very high saturated:unsaturated fatty acids ratio. 相似文献

In addition to a prominent role in tissue energy conversion, fatty acids are involved in signal transduction and modulation of cellular protein localization and function. The latter is accomplished by acylation of specific cellular proteins. In the present study the amount of fatty acyl moieties covalently bound to cardiac proteins and the effect of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion on the degree and relative fatty acyl composition of cardiac proteins have been investigated in isolated rat hearts. In the normoxic heart about 0.32% of the cellular fatty acyl pool is covalently bound to proteins. Approximately 90% of these fatty acyl chains are thio-esterified, whereas a relatively minor part is attached to cardiac proteins through amide linkage. Thio-esterified fatty acyl chains are derived from palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acid. In contrast, amide linked protein acylation shows a preference for myristic acyl chains. Acute ischemia and reperfusion inflicted upon the isolated rat heart did enhance significantly the content of (unesterified) fatty acids, but did neither affect the degree of protein acylation nor the relative fatty acyl composition of acylated proteins in cardiac tissue. 相似文献

Fatty acids covalently bound to erythrocyte proteins undergo a differential turnover in vivo 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Recently, covalently bound fatty acids have been identified on a variety of proteins. Many of these acyl proteins are physiologically important, and the lipid modification often appears to be essential for their function. In this investigation mature erythrocytes have been used to study in detail the metabolic behavior of protein-bound fatty acids. Although deficient in protein synthesis, these cells are still able to covalently attach [3H]palmitic acid to proteins located at the plasma membrane and its associated cytoskeleton. Linkage analyses demonstrated that the labeled polypeptides contained ester- or thioester-bound fatty acids. The covalent binding of fatty acid was rapidly reversible. Half-lives of the protein-bound fatty acid molecules ranged from less than 30 min to more than 3 h. The deacylation reaction was not due to a chemically labile linkage of protein and fatty acid but appeared to be physiologically induced. Differences in the fatty acid turnover rates between the acyl proteins suggested an independent regulation of their lipid turnover. A number of proteins underwent dynamic fatty acid acylation, indicating that palmitylated proteins undergoing fatty acid turnover are not a rare exception. 相似文献

Band 4.2 is a major protein of the erythrocyte membrane which has been immunologically detected in a variety of cell types and is apparently essential for normal erythrocyte membrane function. Since band 4.2 has unusual solubility and membrane binding properties and has an N-terminal glycine following the initiating methionine, we explored the possibility that band 4.2 is myristylated. When Sf9 cells infected with a recombinant band 4.2 Baculovirus were incubated with [3H]myristic acid, label became incorporated into recombinant band 4.2 protein and resisted extraction with hydroxylamine. Consistent with N-terminal myristylation, the incorporation of label was dependent upon protein synthesis. The fatty acid covalently bound to recombinant band 4.2 was definitively identified as myristic acid by recovering the fatty acid after hydrolysis of band 4.2 and examining its migration relative to standards in thin layer chromatography. It was determined that native erythrocyte band 4.2 is an N-myristylated protein by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography detection of an azlactone derivative of N-myristylglycine after mild acid hydrolysis and azlactone derivatization of the purified protein. Study of myristylation of band 4.2, an abundant normal cellular protein, and its role in membrane binding may produce insights relevant to other myristylated cellular proteins. 相似文献

A lipopolysaccharide was isolated by extraction ofAspergillus flavus conidia with 45 % phenol at 68–70 °C. Quantitative analysis revealed 7 % nucleic acids, 5.5 % proteins, 46 % polysaccharides and 49 % lipids, of which 12 % were covalently bound. Glucose, mannose, galactose and fucose were detected as monosaccharide components of the polysaccharide moiety by gas chromatography; palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and myristic acid were mainly present in the lipidic fraction. This material differs from the bacterial lipopolysaccharides, both in composition of the polysaccharide moiety and representation of fatty acids in the lipidic fraction. 相似文献

The origin of myristic acid in mammalian cells and the regulation of its endogenous cellular low concentration are not known. Another intriguing question is the potential metabolic properties of endogenous myristic acid as compared with exogenous myristic acid. In the present paper, we hypothesised and demonstrated that, in liver cells, in addition to the usual fatty acid synthase (FAS) pathway that produces predominantly palmitic acid and minor amounts of myristic acid, part of endogenous cellular myristic acid also comes from a shortening of palmitic acid, likely by peroxisomal β-oxidation and from lauric acid by elongation. From a nutritional point of view, C16:0 is universally found in natural fats and its shortening to myristic acid could contribute to a non-negligible source of this fatty acid (FA) in the organism. Then, we measured the distribution of endogenously synthesised myristic acid in lipid species and compared it with that of exogenous myristic acid. Our results do not support the hypothesis of different metabolic fates of endogenous and exogenous myristic acid and suggest that whatever the origin of myristic acid, its cellular concentration and lipid distribution are highly regulated. 相似文献

Of the 51 polypeptides detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the plasma membrane of the helical mollicute Spiroplasma melliferum, 21 are acylated, predominantly with myristic (14:0) and palmitic (16:0) chains. This is notably the case for spiralin, the major membrane protein of this bacterium, which contains an average of 0.7 acyl chains per polypeptide, attached very probably by ester bonds to alcohol amino acids. The amphiphilicity of spiralin was demonstrated by the behavior of the protein in charge-shift electrophoresis, its incorporation into liposomes, and its ability to form in the absence of lipids and detergents, globular protein micelles (diameter, approximately 15 nm). The presence of epitopes on the two faces of the cell membrane, as probed by antibody adsorption and crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and the strong interaction between spiralin and the intracytoplasmic fibrils show that spiralin is a transmembrane protein. The mean hydropathy of the amino acid composition of spiralin (-0.30) is on the hydrophilic side of the scale. Surprisingly, the water-insoluble core of spiralin micelles, which is the putative membrane anchor, has a still more hydrophilic amino acid composition (mean hydropathy, -0.70) and is enriched in glycine and serine residues. Taking into account all these properties, we propose a topological model for spiralin featuring a transbilayer localization with hydrophilic domains protruding on the two faces of the membrane and connected by a small domain embedded within the apolar region of the lipid bilayer. In this model, the membrane anchoring of the protein is strengthened by a covalently bound acyl chain. 相似文献

Cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor contains covalently bound fatty acid 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (215,000 daltons) was isolated from embryonic bovine tracheal cells and embryonic human skin fibroblasts labelled with [3H]palmitic acid. The tritium label was detected in the protein upon fluorographic analysis of SDS-polyacrylamide gels of the purified receptor. The label was not sensitive to hydroxylamine, methanolic KOH, or beta-mercaptoethanol, but labelled fatty acid was recovered from the protein by acidic methanolysis. Labelled receptor protein could not be isolated from cells grown in the presence of [3H]myristic acid. The results suggest the presence of amide-linked palmitic acid in the structure of the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor. 相似文献

Protein-coated agarose surfaces for attachment of cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Plastic dishes were coated with an agarose layer. The layer was modified by covalently binding proteins to it, using the CNBr-method. Cells were seeded on the dishes and the number of attached cells was evaluated. The specificity of the attachment was demonstrated by showing that cells, carrying specific membrane-bound immunoglobulins, attached only to the corresponding anti-immunoglobulins. This indicated that the method could be used for cell sorting. The attachment of cells to proteins was influenced by the amount of bound protein, incubation time, temperature and the degree of trypsinization. Most attached cells were viable for several days and when dying they detached. Detailed morphological and cytochemical analyses of the dynamics of attachment and cytoplasmic spreading on the chemically well-defined surfaces were possible using the new method. 相似文献

To investigate the transport of exogenous lipids by the haemolymph lipoproteins, two kinds of experiments were carried out: in some experiments the insects were given a test-meal of double labelled tripalmitin (U3H glycerol, 1-14C palmitic acid) and were killed either 2 hr or 6 days later. In other experiments each insect received 2 identical test-meals: (9–103H palmitic acid) tripalmitin and 6 days later (1-14C palmitic acid) tripalmitin. The insects were killed 2 hr after the ingestion of the second test meal. The lipids bound to the lipoproteins from the different fractions separated by electrophoresis of the haemolymph were analysed.The amount of labelled lipids transported by the haemolymph was much higher at 2 hr than at 6 days. The ingested triglycerides were absorbed unchanged or resynthetized from the products of their hydrolysis. The lipids released from the midgut into the haemolymph were found to be associated to lipoproteins carrying high amounts of triglycerides and exhibiting little or no electrophoretic mobility; the lipids released from the fat body into the haemolymph were mostly diglycerides; the glycerol released from the hydrolysis of exogenous triglycerides was not used in resynthesis of glycerides. 相似文献

The effect of dipyridamole on megakaryocytopoiesis in regenerating and stationary populations of mouse bone marrow cells has been studied by heterotopic transplantation of the bone marrow using histological, electron microscopic and biochemical techniques. It is shown that drug administration induced destruction of megakaryocytes. In megakaryocytic cytoplasm giant lipid granules were found whose growth and number increase resulted in megakaryocytes kill. Gas-liquid chromatography was used to evaluate the effect of dipyridamole on distribution of lipid fatty acids of the stationary and regenerating populations of the bone marrow cells. A marked increase of the percentage of docosahexaenoic acid was found in lipids of the stationary population. Chronic dipyridamole administration caused an increase of percentage of myristic, palmitic oleic acids, and decrease of percentage of arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids in lipids of regenerating bone marrow cells population. 相似文献
