Oxidation is emerging as an important regulatory mechanism of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Here we report that PTPs are differentially oxidized, and we provide evidence for the underlying mechanism. The membrane-proximal RPTPalpha-D1 was catalytically active but not readily oxidized as assessed by immunoprobing with an antibody that recognized oxidized catalytic site cysteines in PTPs (oxPTPs). In contrast, the membrane-distal RPTPalpha-D2, a poor PTP, was readily oxidized. Oxidized catalytic site cysteines in PTP immunoprobing and mass spectrometry demonstrated that mutation of two residues in the Tyr(P) loop and the WPD loop that reverse catalytic activity of RPTPalpha-D1 and RPTPalpha-D2 also reversed oxidizability, suggesting that oxidizability and catalytic activity are coupled. However, catalytically active PTP1B and LAR-D1 were readily oxidized. Oxidizability was strongly dependent on pH, indicating that the microenvironment of the catalytic cysteine has an important role. Crystal structures of PTP domains demonstrated that the orientation of the absolutely conserved PTP loop arginine correlates with oxidizability of PTPs, and consistently, RPTPmu-D1, with a similar conformation as RPTPalpha-D1, was not readily oxidized. In conclusion, PTPs are differentially oxidized at physiological pH and H(2)O(2) concentrations, and the PTP loop arginine is an important determinant for susceptibility to oxidation. 相似文献

Down-regulation of insulin signaling by protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B is mediated by an N-terminal binding region 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play a major role in regulating insulin signaling. Among the PTPs that regulate this signaling pathway, PTP1B plays an especially prominent role. PTP1B inhibits insulin signaling and has previously been shown to bind to the activated insulin receptor (IR), but neither the mechanism nor the physiological importance of such binding have been established. Here, we show that a previously undefined region in the N-terminal, catalytic half of PTP1B contributes to IR binding. Point mutations within this region of PTP1B disrupt IR binding but do not affect the catalytic activity of this phosphatase. This binding-defective mutant of PTP1B does not efficiently dephosphorylate the IR in cells, nor does it effectively inhibit IR signaling. These results suggest that PTP1B targets the IR through a novel binding element and that binding is required for the physiological effects of PTP1B on IR signal transduction. 相似文献

Tyrosine phosphorylation is negatively regulated by the protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). In order to find the physiological substrates of these enzymes, diverse PTP mutants that do not possess any catalytic activities but appear to bind tightly to their tyrosine phosphorylated substrates have been designed. Hence, they can be used as tools to pull out their respective substrates from heterogeneous extracts. Named PTP "substrate-trapping" mutants by the Tonks laboratory, they represent a diverse variety of defective PTPs that are epitomized by the Cys to Ser mutant (C/S) where the active cysteine residue of the signature motif is mutated to a serine residue. In addition, new mutants have been developed which are expected to help characterize novel and less abundant substrates. In this article, we review and describe all the different substrate-trapping mutants that have successfully been used or that hold interesting promises. We present their methodology to identify substrates in vivo (co-immunoprecipitation) and in vitro (GST pulldown), and provide a current list of substrates that have been identified using these technologies. 相似文献

All members in the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family of enzymes contain an invariant Cys residue which is absolutely indispensable for catalysis. Due to the unique microenvironment surrounding the active center of PTPs, this Cys residue exhibits an unusually low pKa characteristic, thus being highly susceptible to oxidation or S-nitrosylation. While oxidation-dependent regulation of PTP activity has been extensively examined, the molecular details and biological consequences of PTP S-nitrosylation remain unexplored. We hypothesized that the catalytic Cys residue is targeted by proximal nitric oxide (NO) and its derivatives collectively termed reactive nitrogen species (RNS), leading to nitrosothiol formation concomitant with reversible inactivation of PTPs. To test this hypothesis, we have developed novel strategies to examine the redox status of Cys residues of purified PTP1B that was exposed to NO donor S-Nitroso-N-penicillamine (SNAP). A gel-based method in conjunction with mass spectrometry (MS) analysis revealed that the catalytic Cys215 of PTP1B was reversibly modified when PTP1B was briefly treated with SNAP. In order to further identify the exact mode of NO-induced modification, we employed an online LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis incorporating a mass difference-based, data-dependent acquisition function that effectively mapped the S-nitrosylated Cys residues. Our results demonstrated that treating PTP1B with SNAP led to S-nitrosothiol formation of the catalytic Cys215. Interestingly, SNAP-induced modifications were strictly reversible as highly oxidized Cys derivatives (Cys-SO(2)H or Cys-SO(3)H) were not identified by MS analyses. Thus, the methods introduced in this study provide direct evidence to prove the direct link between S-nitrosylation of the catalytic Cys residue and reversible inactivation of PTPs. 相似文献

Regulation of insulin signaling through reversible oxidation of the protein-tyrosine phosphatases TC45 and PTP1B 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Many studies have illustrated that the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is important for optimal tyrosine phosphorylation and signaling in response to diverse stimuli. Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), which are important regulators of signal transduction, are exquisitely sensitive to inhibition after generation of ROS, and reversible oxidation is becoming recognized as a general physiological mechanism for regulation of PTP function. Thus, production of ROS facilitates a tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent cellular signaling response by transiently inactivating those PTPs that normally suppress the signal. In this study, we have explored the importance of reversible PTP oxidation in the signaling response to insulin. Using a modified ingel PTP assay, we show that stimulation of cells with insulin resulted in the rapid and transient oxidation and inhibition of two distinct PTPs, which we have identified as PTP1B and TC45, the 45-kDa spliced variant of the T cell protein-tyrosine phosphatase. We investigated further the role of TC45 as a regulator of insulin signaling by combining RNA interference and the use of substrate-trapping mutants. We have shown that TC45 is an inhibitor of insulin signaling, recognizing the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor as a substrate. The data also suggest that this strategy, using ligand-induced oxidation to tag specific PTPs and using interference RNA and substrate-trapping mutants to illustrate their role as regulators of particular signal transduction pathways, may be applied broadly across the PTP family to explore function. 相似文献

Cdc25 phosphatases belong to the family of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) that contain an active-site cysteine and form a phosphocysteine intermediate. Recently, oxidation/reduction of active-site cysteines of PTPs, including Cdc25, has been proposed to serve as a form of reversible regulation for this class of enzymes. Here we provide in vitro evidence that supports the chemical and kinetic competence for oxidation/reduction of the active-site cysteines of Cdc25B and Cdc25C as a mechanism of regulation. Using kinetic measurements and mass spectrometry, we have found that the active-site cysteines of the Cdc25's are highly susceptible to oxidation. The rate of thiolate conversion to the sulfenic acid by hydrogen peroxide for Cdc25B is 15-fold and 400-fold faster than that for the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B and the cellular reductant glutathione, respectively. If not for the presence of an adjacent (back-door) cysteine in proximity to the active-site cysteine in the Cdc25's, the sulfenic acid would rapidly oxidize further to the irreversibly inactivated sulfinic acid, as determined by using kinetic partitioning and mass spectrometry with mutants of these back-door cysteines. Thus, the active-site cysteine is protected by rapid intramolecular disulfide formation with the back-door cysteines in the wild-type enzymes. These intramolecular disulfides can then be rapidly and effectively rereduced by thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase but not glutathione. Thus, the chemistry and kinetics of the active-site cysteines of the Cdc25's support a physiological role for reversible redox-mediated regulation of the Cdc25's, important regulators of the eukaryotic cell cycle. 相似文献

Structure-based design of a low molecular weight, nonphosphorus, nonpeptide, and highly selective inhibitor of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Several protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have been proposed to act as negative regulators of insulin signaling. Recent studies have shown increased insulin sensitivity and resistance to obesity in PTP1B knockout mice, thus pointing to this enzyme as a potential drug target in diabetes. Structure-based design, guided by PTP mutants and x-ray protein crystallography, was used to optimize a relatively weak, nonphosphorus, nonpeptide general PTP inhibitor (2-(oxalyl-amino)-benzoic acid) into a highly selective PTP1B inhibitor. This was achieved by addressing residue 48 as a selectivity determining residue. By introducing a basic nitrogen in the core structure of the inhibitor, a salt bridge was formed to Asp-48 in PTP1B. In contrast, the basic nitrogen causes repulsion in other PTPs containing an asparagine in the equivalent position resulting in a remarkable selectivity for PTP1B. Importantly, this was accomplished while retaining the molecular weight of the inhibitor below 300 g/mol. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are a large family of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolytic removal of the phosphoryl group from phosphotyrosyl (pY) proteins. PTP inhibitors provide potential treatment of human diseases/conditions such as diabetes and obesity as well as useful tools for studying the function of PTPs in signaling pathways. In this work, we have shown that certain aryl-substituted aldehydes act as reversible, slow-binding inhibitors of modest potency against PTP1B, SHP-1, and a dual-specificity phosphatase, VHR. Attachment of the tripeptide Gly-Glu-Glu to the para position of cinnamaldehyde resulted in an inhibitor (Cinn-GEE) of substantially increased potency against all three enzymes (e.g., K(I) = 5.4 microM against PTP1B). The mechanism of inhibition was investigated using Cinn-GEE specifically labeled with (13)C at the aldehyde carbon and (1)H-(13)C heteronuclear single-quantum coherence spectroscopy. While Cinn-GEE alone showed a single cross-peak at delta 9.64 ((1)H) and delta 201 ((13)C), the PTP1B/Cinn-GEE complex showed three distinct cross-peaks at delta 7.6-7.8 ((1)H) and 130-137 ((13)C). Mutation of the catalytic cysteine (Cys-215 in PTP1B) into alanine had no effect on the cross-peaks, whereas mutation of a conserved active-site arginine (Arg-221 in PTP1B) to alanine abolished all three cross-peaks. Similar experiments with Cinn-GEE that had been labeled with (13)C at the benzylic position revealed a change in the hybridization state (from sp(2) to sp(3)) for the benzylic carbon as a result of binding to PTP1B. These results rule out the possibility of a free aldehyde, aldehyde hydrate, or hemithioacetal as the enzyme-bound inhibitor form. Instead, the data are consistent with the formation of an enamine between the aldehyde group of the inhibitor and the guanidine group of Arg-221 in the PTP1B active site. These aldehydes may provide a general core structure that can be further developed into highly potent and specific PTP inhibitors. 相似文献

Allele-specific enzyme inhibitors are powerful tools in chemical biology. However, few general approaches for the discovery of such inhibitors have been described. Herein is reported a method for the sensitization of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) to small-molecule inhibition. It is shown that mutation of an active-site isoleucine to alanine (I219A) sensitizes PTP1B to inhibition by a class of thiophene-based inhibitors. This sensitization strategy succeeds for both 'orthogonal' inhibitors, designed to be incompatible with wild-type PTP active sites, and previously optimized wild-type PTP inhibitors. The finding that the I219A mutation sensitizes phosphatase domains to a variety of compounds suggests that isoleucine 219 may act as a 'gatekeeper' residue that can be widely exploited for the chemical-genetic analysis of PTP function. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play key roles in switching off tyrosine phosphorylation cascades, such as initiated by cytokine receptors. We have used substrate-trapping mutants of a large set of PTPs to identify members of the PTP family that have substrate specificity for the phosphorylated human GH receptor (GHR) intracellular domain. Among 31 PTPs tested, T cell (TC)-PTP, PTP-beta, PTP1B, stomach cancer-associated PTP 1 (SAP-1), Pyst-2, Meg-2, and PTP-H1 showed specificity for phosphorylated GHR that had been produced by coexpression with a kinase in bacteria. We then used GH-induced, phosphorylated GH receptor, purified from overexpressing mammalian cells, in a Far Western-based approach to test whether these seven PTPs were also capable of recognizing ligand-induced, physiologically phosphorylated GHR. In this assay, only TC-PTP, PTP1B, PTP-H1, and SAP-1 interacted with the mature form of the phosphorylated GHR. In parallel, we show that these PTPs recognize very different subsets of the seven GHR tyrosines that are potentially phosphorylated. Finally, mRNA tissue distribution of these PTPs by RT-PCR analysis and coexpression of the wild-type PTPs to test their ability to dephosphorylate ligand-activated GHR suggest PTP-H1 and PTP1B as potential candidates involved in GHR signaling. 相似文献

Homoserine transacetylase is a required catalyst in the biochemical pathway that metabolizes Asp to Met in fungi. The enzyme from the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe activates the hydroxyl group of L-homoserine by acetylation from acetyl coenzyme A. This enzyme is unique to fungi and some bacteria and presents an important new target for drug discovery. Steady-state kinetic parameters provide evidence that this enzyme follows a ping-pong mechanism. Proton inventory was consistent with a single-proton transfer, and pH studies suggested the participation of at least one residue with a pKa value of 6.4-6.6, possibly a His or Asp/Glu in catalysis. Protein sequence alignments indicate that this enzyme belongs to the alpha/beta-hydrolase fold superfamily of enzymes, indicating the involvement of an active-site nucleophile and possibly a canonical catalytic triad. We constructed site-specific mutants and identified Ser163, Asp403, and His432 as the likely active-site residues of a catalytic triad based on steady-state kinetics and genetic complementation of a yeast null mutant. Moreover, unlike the wild-type enzyme, inactive site mutants were not capable of producing an acetyl-enzyme intermediate. Homoserine transacetylase therefore catalyzes the acetylation of L-homoserine via a covalent acyl-enzyme intermediate through an active-site Ser. These results form the basis of future exploitation of this enzyme as an antimicrobial target. 相似文献

Phosphotyrosine hydrolysis by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) involves substrate binding by the PTP loop and closure over the active site by the WPD loop. The E loop, located immediately adjacent to the PTP and WPD loops, is conserved among human PTPs in both sequence and structure, yet the role of this loop in substrate binding and catalysis is comparatively unexplored. Hematopoietic PTP (HePTP) is a member of the kinase interaction motif (KIM) PTP family. Compared to other PTPs, KIM-PTPs have E loops that are unique in both sequence and structure. In order to understand the role of the E loop in the transition between the closed state and the open state of HePTP, we identified a novel crystal form of HePTP that allowed the closed-state-to-open-state transition to be observed within a single crystal form. These structures, which include the first structure of the HePTP open state, show that the WPD loop adopts an ‘atypically open’ conformation and, importantly, that ligands can be exchanged at the active site, which is critical for HePTP inhibitor development. These structures also show that tetrahedral oxyanions bind at a novel secondary site and function to coordinate the PTP, WPD, and E loops. Finally, using both structural and kinetic data, we reveal a novel role for E-loop residue Lys182 in enhancing HePTP catalytic activity through its interaction with Asp236 of the WPD loop, providing the first evidence for the coordinated dynamics of the WPD and E loops in the catalytic cycle, which, as we show, is relevant to multiple PTP families. 相似文献

CheB, the methylesterase of chemotactic bacteria, catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamyl-methyl esters in bacterial chemoreceptor proteins. The two cysteines predicted by the amino acid sequence of CheB were replaced by alanine residues. The resulting mutants, Cys207-Ala, Cys309-Ala and a double cysteine mutant Cys207-Ala/Cys309-Ala, retained methylesterase activity, indicating that sulfhydryls are not crucial for CheB mediated catalysis. A homology search revealed a conserved serine active-site region between residues 162 and 166 which is homologous to the active-site region of acetylcholine esterases, suggesting that Ser164 of CheB is the active-site nucleophile. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was used to change the serine to a cysteine. This Ser164-Cys mutant had less than 2% of the wild-type activity. Unlike the serine proteinases which utilize a 'catalytic triad' mechanism, CheB does not have the conserved histidine and aspartic acid residues located in positions N-terminal to the active-site serine. In addition, CheB is not labeled with di-isopropylfluorophosphate, a potent inhibitor of other serine hydrolases. A novel mechanism is proposed for CheB involving substrate-assisted catalysis to account for these apparent anomalies. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play important, highly dynamic roles in signaling. Currently about 90 different PTP genes have been described. The enzymes are highly regulated at all levels of expression, and it is becoming increasingly clear that substrate specificity of the PTP catalytic domains proper contributes considerably to PTP functionality. To investigate PTP substrate selectivity, we have set up a procedure to generate phage libraries that presents randomized, phosphotyrosine-containing peptides. Phages that expressed suitable substrates were selected by immobilized, substrate-trapping GST-PTP fusion proteins. After multiple rounds of selection, positive clones were confirmed by SPOT analysis, dephosphorylation by wild-type enzyme, and Km determinations. We have identified distinct consensus substrate motifs for PTP1B, Sap-1, PTP-beta, SHP1, and SHP2. Our results confirm substrate specificity for individual PTPs at the peptide level. Such consensus sequences may be useful both for identifying potential PTP substrates and for the development of peptidomimetic inhibitors. 相似文献

Thiol-disulfides cause a time- and a concentration-dependent inactivation of the low-M(r) phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase (PTP). We demonstrated that six of eight enzyme cysteines have similar reactivity against 5,5'-dithiobis(nitrobenzoic acid): Their thiolation is accompanied by enzyme inactivation. The inactivation of the enzyme by glutathione disulfide also is accompanied by the thiolation of six cysteine residues. Inorganic phosphate, a competitive enzyme inhibitor, protects the enzyme from inactivation, indicating that the inactivation results from thiolation of the essential active-site cysteine of the enzyme. The inactivation is reversed by dithiothreitol. Although all PTPs have three-dimensional active-site structures very similar to each other and also have identical reaction mechanisms, the thiol group contained in the active site of low-M(r) PTP seems to have lower reactivity than that of other PTPs in the protein thiolation reaction. 相似文献

Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are important for the control of proper cellular tyrosine phosphorylation. Despite the large number of PTPs encoded in the human genome and the emerging roles played by PTPs in human diseases, a detailed understanding of the role played by PTPs in normal physiology and in pathogenic conditions has been hampered by the absence of PTP-specific inhibitors. Such inhibitors could serve as useful tools for determining the physiological functions of PTPs and may constitute valuable therapeutics in the treatment of several human diseases. However, because of the highly conserved nature of the active site, it has been difficult to develop selective PTP inhibitors. By taking an approach to tether together two small ligands that can interact simultaneously with the active site and a unique proximal noncatalytic site, we have recently acquired Compound 2 (see Fig. 1), the most potent and selective PTP1B inhibitor identified to date, which exhibits several orders of magnitude selectivity in favor of PTP1B against a panel of PTPs. We describe an evaluation of the interaction between 2 and its analogs with PTP1B and its site-directed mutants selected based on hydrogen/deuterium exchange of PTP1B backbone amides in the presence and absence of 2. We have established the binding mode of Compound 2 and identified 12 PTP1B residues that are important for the potency and selectivity of Compound 2. Although many of the residues important for Compound 2 binding are not unique to PTP1B, the combinations of all contact residues differ between PTP isozymes, which suggest that the binding surface defined by these residues in individual PTPs determines inhibitor selectivity. Our results provide structural information toward understanding of the molecular basis for potent and selective PTP1B inhibition and further establish the feasibility of acquiring potent, yet highly selective, PTP inhibitory agents. 相似文献

Although members of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family are known to play critical roles in various cellular processes through the regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in cooperation with protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), the physiological functions of individual PTPs are poorly understood. This is due to a lack of information concerning the physiological substrates of the respective PTPs. Several years ago, substrate-trap mutants were developed to identify the substrates of PTPs, but only a limited number of PTP substrates have been identified using typical biochemical techniques in vitro. The application of this strategy to all the PTPs seems difficult, because the substrates identified to date were restricted to relatively abundant and highly tyrosine phosphorylated cellular proteins. Therefore, the development of a standard method applicable to all PTPs has long been awaited. We report here a genetic method to screen for PTP substrates which we have named the "yeast substrate-trapping system." This method is based on the yeast two-hybrid system with two essential modifications: the conditional expression of a PTK to tyrosine-phosphorylate the prey protein, and screening using a substrate-trap PTP mutant as bait. This method is probably applicable to all the PTPs, because it is based on PTP-substrate interaction in vivo, namely the substrate recognition of individual PTPs. Moreover, this method has the advantage that continuously interacting molecules for a PTP are also identified, at the same time, under PTK-noninductive conditions. The identification of physiological substrates will shed light on the physiological functions of individual PTPs. 相似文献

FmtA is a penicillin-recognizing protein (PRP) with novel hydrolytic activity toward the ester bond between d-Ala and the backbone of teichoic acids. Teichoic acids are polyol-phosphate polymers found in the Staphylococcus aureus cell wall, and they play important roles in antibiotic resistance and pathogenesis. Two of the PRPs conserved motifs, namely, SXXK and Y(S)XN, are involved in the hydrolysis by FmtA, but the catalytic mechanism remains elusive. Here we determined the crystal structure of FmtA. FmtA shares the core structure of PRPs: an all α-helical domain and α/β domain sandwiched together. However, it does not have the typical PRPs active-site cleft. Its active site is shallow, solvent-exposed, and enlarged. Furthermore, our mutagenesis and kinetic studies suggest that the SXXK and Y(S)XN motifs of FmtA offer all that is necessary for catalysis, and more: the active-site nucleophile (serine), the general base (lysine) required for the acylation step and the deacylation step, and an anchor (tyrosine) to hold the active-site serine, and possibly the substrate, in an optimum conformation for catalysis. Our study establishes that the FmtA esterase activity represents an expansion of the catalytic activity repertoire of the PRPs core structure, which typically displays peptidase activity. This finding points toward a novel mechanism of ester bond hydrolysis by a PRP. The structure of FmtA provides insights to the design of inhibitor molecules with the potential to serve as leads in the development of novel antibacterial chemotherapeutic agents. 相似文献

The two protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) domains in bi-domain PTPs share high sequence and structural similarity. However, only one of the two PTP domains is catalytically active. Here we describe biochemical studies on the two tandem PTP domains of the bi-domain PTP, PTP99A. Phosphatase activity, monitored using small molecule as well as peptide substrates, revealed that the inactive (D2) domain activates the catalytic (D1) domain. Thermodynamic measurements suggest that the inactive D2 domain stabilizes the bi-domain (D1-D2) protein. The mechanism by which the D2 domain activates and stabilizes the bi-domain protein is governed by few interactions at the inter-domain interface. In particular, mutating Lys990 at the interface attenuates inter-domain communication. This residue is located at a structurally equivalent location to the so-called allosteric site of the canonical single domain PTP, PTP1B. These observations suggest functional optimization in bi-domain PTPs whereby the inactive PTP domain modulates the catalytic activity of the bi-domain enzyme. 相似文献

PTP inhibitor IV protects JNK kinase activity by inhibiting dual-specificity phosphatase 14 (DUSP14)

Protein phosphorylation plays critical roles in the regulation of protein activity and cell signaling. The level of protein phosphorylation is controlled by protein kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Disturbance of the equilibrium between protein kinase and PTP activities results in abnormal protein phosphorylation, which has been linked to the etiology of several diseases, including cancer. In this study, we screened protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) by in vitro phosphatase assays to identify PTPs that are inhibited by bis (4-trifluoromethyl-sulfonamidophenyl, TFMS)-1,4-diisopropylbenzene (PTP inhibitor IV). PTP inhibitor IV inhibited DUSP14 phosphatase activity. Kinetic studies with PTP inhibitor IV and DUSP14 revealed a competitive inhibition, suggesting that PTP inhibitor IV binds to the catalytic site of DUSP14. PTP inhibitor IV effectively and specifically inhibited DUSP14-mediated dephosphorylation of JNK, a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. 相似文献
