Endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) is an important regulatory enzyme in the cardiovascular system catalyzing the production of NO from arginine. Multiple protein kinases including Akt/PKB, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), and the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activate eNOS by phosphorylating Ser-1177 in response to various stimuli. During VEGF signaling in endothelial cells, there is a transient increase in Ser-1177 phosphorylation coupled with a decrease in Thr-495 phosphorylation that reverses over 10 min. PKC signaling in endothelial cells inhibits eNOS activity by phosphorylating Thr-495 and dephosphorylating Ser-1177 whereas PKA signaling acts in reverse by increasing phosphorylation of Ser-1177 and dephosphorylation of Thr-495 to activate eNOS. Both phosphatases PP1 and PP2A are associated with eNOS. PP1 is responsible for dephosphorylation of Thr-495 based on its specificity for this site in both eNOS and the corresponding synthetic phosphopeptide whereas PP2A is responsible for dephosphorylation of Ser-1177. Treatment of endothelial cells with calyculin selectively blocks PKA-mediated dephosphorylation of Thr-495 whereas okadaic acid selectively blocks PKC-mediated dephosphorylation of Ser-1177. These results show that regulation of eNOS activity involves coordinated signaling through Ser-1177 and Thr-495 by multiple protein kinases and phosphatases. 相似文献

CD20, a B cell integral membrane protein, regulates B cell activation and is differently phosphorylated in resting and activated cells. We have previously shown that CD20 phosphorylation is increased in activated cells and in phorbol ester-treated resting cells. Phosphorylation is also altered by agents which signal B cell proliferation, such as anti-IgM and a B cell growth factor. The present study was designed to address whether protein kinase C (PKC) or other kinases used CD20 as a substrate. When purified PKC was incubated with isolated CD20, both the 35- and 37-kDa CD20 proteins were phosphorylated in vitro. Intact resting B cells were next incubated with the protein kinase inhibitors H-7, H-8, and W-7. No change in basal CD20 phosphorylation was observed in the presence of W-7 and H-8, indicating that the protein cyclic nucleotide-dependent and calmodulin-dependent kinases were not actively phosphorylating CD20. Surprisingly, the PKC inhibitor H-7 increased CD20 phosphorylation at concentrations above 25-50 microM. To assess whether PKC either activated a phosphatase or inactivated a kinase affecting CD20 phosphorylation, tryptic phosphopeptide mapping of CD20 was performed. These studies revealed that addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate increased phosphorylation of some peptides differing from those which had increased phosphorylation following addition of H-7. Furthermore, signalling through surface immunoglobulin increased phosphorylation of CD20 peptides distinct from those hyperphosphorylated following addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These results demonstrate that 1) CD20 has multiple phosphorylation sites, as predicted from sequence data, and 2) whereas PKC can use CD20 as substrate, at least one other unidentified kinase phosphorylates CD20 in resting cells. Our data also predict that activation of B cells via the antigen receptor (surface IgM) may activate other protein kinases in addition to PKC. 相似文献

Ribosomal protein S6 is phosphorylated in response to mitogens by activation of one or more protein kinase cascades. Phosphorylation of S6 in vivo is catalyzed by (at least) two distinct mitogen-activated S6 kinase families distinguishable by size, the 70 kDa and 90 kDa S6 kinases. Both S6 kinases are activated by serine/threonine phosphorylation. Members of each family have been cloned. The 90 kDa S6 kinases are activated more rapidly than the 80 kDa S6 kinase, and may have other intracellular targets. The 70 kDa S6 kinase is relatively specific for 40 S ribosomal subunits. No kinase capable of activating the 70 kDa S6 kinase has been identified. Members of the 90 kDa S6 kinases are activated in vitro by 42 kDa and 44 kDa MAP kinases, which are in turn activated by mitogen-dependent activators. The pathways for mitogen-stimulated S6 phosphorylation are discussed. 相似文献

A novel protein kinase, which was only active when phosphorylated by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase), has been purified 85,000-fold to homogeneity from rabbit skeletal muscle. This MAP kinase activated protein kinase, termed MAPKAP kinase-2, was distinguished from S6 kinase-II (MAPKAP kinase-1) by its response to inhibitors, lack of phosphorylation of S6 peptides and amino acid sequence. MAPKAP kinase-2 phosphorylated glycogen synthase at Ser7 and the equivalent serine (*) in the peptide KKPLNRTLS*VASLPGLamide whose sequence is similar to the N terminus of glycogen synthase. MAPKAP kinase-2 was resolved into two monomeric species of apparent molecular mass 60 and 53 kDa that had similar specific activities and substrate specificities. Peptide sequences of the 60 and 53 kDa species were identical, indicating that they are either closely related isoforms or derived from the same gene. MAP kinase activated the 60 and 53 kDa forms of MAPKAP kinase-2 by phosphorylating the first threonine residue in the sequence VPQTPLHTSR. Furthermore, Mono Q chromatography of extracts from rat phaeochromocytoma and skeletal muscle demonstrated that two MAP kinase isoforms (p42mapk and p44mapk) were the only enzymes in these cells that were capable of reactivating MAPKAP kinase-2. These results indicate that MAP kinase activates at least two distinct protein kinases, suggesting that it represents a point at which the growth factor-stimulated protein kinase cascade bifurcates. 相似文献

Members of the AGC subfamily of protein kinases including protein kinase B, p70 S6 kinase, and protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms are activated and/or stabilized by phosphorylation of two residues, one that resides in the T-loop of the kinase domain and the other that is located C-terminal to the kinase domain in a region known as the hydrophobic motif. Atypical PKC isoforms, such as PKCzeta, and the PKC-related kinases, like PRK2, are also activated by phosphorylation of their T-loop site but, instead of possessing a phosphorylatable Ser/Thr in their hydrophobic motif, contain an acidic residue. The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase (PDK1) activates many members of the AGC subfamily of kinases in vitro, including PKCzeta and PRK2 by phosphorylating the T-loop residue. In the present study we demonstrate that the hydrophobic motifs of PKCzeta and PKCiota, as well as PRK1 and PRK2, interact with the kinase domain of PDK1. Mutation of the conserved residues of the hydrophobic motif of full-length PKCzeta, full-length PRK2, or PRK2 lacking its N-terminal regulatory domain abolishes or significantly reduces the ability of these kinases to interact with PDK1 and to become phosphorylated at their T-loop sites in vivo. Furthermore, overexpression of the hydrophobic motif of PRK2 in cells prevents the T-loop phosphorylation and thus inhibits the activation of PRK2 and PKCzeta. These findings indicate that the hydrophobic motif of PRK2 and PKCzeta acts as a "docking site" enabling the recruitment of PDK1 to these substrates. This is essential for their phosphorylation by PDK1 in cells. 相似文献

Characterization of a membrane-associated protein kinase of multidrug-resistant HL60 cells which phosphorylates P-glycoprotein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cells containing increased levels of the membrane phosphoprotein P-glycoprotein exhibit a multidrug-resistant phenotype. In the present study we have analyzed protein kinases capable of phosphorylating P-glycoprotein in membranes of HL60 cells isolated for resistance to vincristine. Analysis of this system demonstrates that in isolated membranes the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine greatly reduces P-glycoprotein phosphorylation. In contrast, the kinase inhibitor H-7 does not affect this reaction. Fractionation of solubilized membrane proteins from sensitive and resistant cells on DEAE-cellulose reveals a major protein kinase (PK-1) which exhibits optimal activity in the presence of Mn2+ and histone H1. This enzyme fraction does not contain detectable levels of protein kinase C or cAMP-dependent protein kinase. PK-1 phosphorylation of two endogenous proteins is, however, greatly enhanced in the presence of phosphatidylserine or phosphatidyl-inositol. In reaction mixtures containing Mg2+ or Mn2+ in the absence of phospholipid, PK-1 from resistant cells phosphorylates an endogenous protein of 180 kilodaltons (P180), which exhibits an electrophoretic mobility identical to P-glycoprotein. In parallel experiments with PK-1 from sensitive cells there is no detectable phosphorylation of a P180 protein. P180 phosphorylated by PK-1 from resistant cells is immunoprecipitated by antibody against P-glycoprotein. Additional studies demonstrate that PK-1 is capable of phosphorylating specific synthetic peptides which correspond to the sequence of P-glycoprotein. Peptide phosphorylation occurs at both serine and threonine residues. These studies thus identify a novel membrane-associated protein kinase in HL60 cells which is capable of phosphorylating P-glycoprotein. This enzyme may have an important role in regulating levels of multidrug resistance. 相似文献

The microtubule-associated protein tau is a major component of the paired helical filaments (PHFs) observed in Alzheimer's disease brains. The pathological tau is distinguished from normal tau by its state of phosphorylation, higher apparent M(r) and reaction with certain antibodies. However, the protein kinase(s) have not been characterized so far. Here we describe a protein kinase from brain which specifically induces the Alzheimer-like state in tau protein. The 42 kDa protein belongs to the family of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and is activated by tyrosine phosphorylation. It is capable of phosphorylating Ser-Pro and Thr-Pro motifs in tau protein (approximately 14-16 P1 per tau molecule). By contrast, other proline directed Ser/Thr kinases such as p34(cdc2) combined with cyclin A or B have only minor effects on tau phosphorylation. We propose that MAP kinase is abnormally active in Alzheimer brain tissue, or that the corresponding phosphatases are abnormally passive, due to a breakdown of the normal regulatory mechanisms. 相似文献

Interleukin 2 (IL-2) and the synthetic diacylglycerol, 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG), a direct activator of protein kinase C, induce phosphorylation of the ribosomal S6 protein in a murine IL-2-dependent lymphocyte clone. The phosphorylation of S6 protein was correlated with increased protein synthesis in this cell line. Using cell-free assay systems, two unique kinases capable of phosphorylating the S6 protein were identified, namely, a calcium/phospholipid-dependent phosphotransferase, protein kinase C, and a second phospholipid-independent kinase detected in crude cytosolic fractions. Peptide mapping of the S6 protein demonstrated that the degree of S6 phosphorylation stimulated by IL-2 and OAG was similar to that achieved using the second (calcium/phospholipid-independent) kinase but not to the level of phosphorylation achieved with protein kinase C. The kinase responsible for phosphorylating S6 was soluble in stimulated cells and was induced in a time-dependent manner by either IL-2 or diacylglycerol treatment of intact cells. These data support the notion that, although protein kinase C is activated by IL-2 or OAG, subsequent events such as S6 phosphorylation may be the result of the activation of secondary phosphotransferase systems regulated by protein kinase C. 相似文献

A protein kinase of 57 kDa, able to phosphorylate tyrosine in synthetic substrates pol(Glu4,Tyr1) and a fragment of Src tyrosine kinase, was isolated and partly purified from maize seedlings (Zea mays). The protein kinase was able to phosphorylate exogenous proteins: enolase, caseins, histones and myelin basic protein. Amino acid analysis of phosphorylated casein and enolase, as well as of phosphorylated endogenous proteins, showed that both Tyr and Ser residues were phosphorylated. Phosphotyrosine was also immunodetected in the 57 kDa protein fraction. In the protein fraction there are present 57 kDa protein kinase and enolase. This co-purification suggests that enolase can be an endogenous substrate of the kinase. The two proteins could be resolved by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Specific inhibitors of typical protein-tyrosine kinases had essentially no effect on the activity of the maize enzyme. Staurosporine, a nonspecific inhibitor of protein kinases, effectively inhibited the 57 kDa protein kinase. Also, poly L-lysine and heparin inhibited tyrosine phosphorylation by 57 kDa maize protein kinase. The substrate and inhibitor specificities of the 57 kDa maize protein kinase phosphorylating tyrosine indicate that it is a novel plant dual-specificity protein kinase. 相似文献

The hydrophobic phosphorylation motif of conventional protein kinase C is regulated by autophosphorylation. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
BACKGROUND: A growing number of kinases are now known to be controlled by two phosphorylation switches, one on a loop near the entrance to the active site and a second on the carboxyl terminus. For the protein kinase C (PKC) family of enzymes, phosphorylation at the activation loop is mediated by another kinase but the mechanism for carboxy-terminal phosphorylation is still unclear. The latter switch contains two phosphorylation sites - one on a 'turn' motif and the second on a conserved hydrophobic phosphorylation motif - that are found separately or together in a number of other kinases. RESULTS: Here, we investigated whether the carboxy-terminal phosphorylation sites of a conventional PKC are controlled by autophosphorylation or by another kinase. First, kinetic analyses revealed that a purified construct of the kinase domain of PKC betaII autophosphorylated on the Ser660 residue of the hydrophobic phosphorylation motif in an apparently concentration-independent manner. Second, kinase-inactive mutants of PKC did not incorporate phosphate at either of the carboxy-terminal sites, Thr641 or Ser660, when expressed in COS-7 cells. The inability to incorporate phosphate on the hydrophobic site was unrelated to the phosphorylation state of the other key phosphorylation sites: kinase-inactive mutants with negative charge at Thr641 and/or the activation-loop position were also not phosphorylated in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: PKC betaII autophosphorylates at its conserved carboxy-terminal hydrophobic phosphorylation site by an apparently intramolecular mechanism. Expression studies with kinase-inactive mutants revealed that this mechanism is the only one responsible for phosphorylating this motif in vivo. Thus, conventional PKC autoregulates the carboxy-terminal phosphorylation switch following phosphorylation by another kinase at the activation loop switch. 相似文献

Histamine stimulus triggers inhibition of myosin phosphatase-enhanced phosphorylation of myosin and contraction of vascular smooth muscle. In response to histamine stimulation of intact femoral artery, a smooth muscle-specific protein called CPI-17 (for protein kinase C-potentiated inhibitory protein for heterotrimeric myosin light chain phosphatase of 17 kDa) is phosphorylated and converted to a potent inhibitor for myosin phosphatase. Phosphorylation of CPI-17 is diminished by pretreatment with either or GF109203x, suggesting involvement of multiple kinases (Kitazawa, T., Eto, M., Woodsome, T. P., and Brautigan, D. L. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 9897--9900). Here we purified and identified CPI-17 kinases endogenous to pig artery that phosphorylate CPI-17. DEAE-Toyopearl column chromatography of aorta extracts separated two CPI-17 kinases. One kinase was protein kinase C (PKC) alpha, and the second kinase was purified to homogeneity as a 45-kDa protein, and identified by sequencing as PKC delta. Purified PKC delta was 3-fold more reactive with CPI-17 compared with myelin basic protein, whereas purified PKC alpha and recombinant RhoA-activated kinases (Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein Ser/Thr kinase and protein kinase N) showed equal activity with CPI-17 and myelin basic protein. inhibited CPI-17 phosphorylation by purified PKC delta with IC(50) of 0.6 microm (in the presence of 0.1 mm ATP) or 14 microm (2.0 mm ATP). significantly suppressed CPI-17 phosphorylation in smooth muscle cells, and the contraction of permeabilized rabbit femoral artery induced by stimulation with phorbol ester. GF109203x inhibited phorbol ester-induced contraction of rabbit femoral artery by 80%, whereas a PKC alpha/beta inhibitor, Go6976, reduced contraction by 47%. The results imply that histamine stimulation elicits contraction of vascular smooth muscle through activation of PKC alpha and especially PKC delta to phosphorylate CPI-17. 相似文献

The D(1) dopamine receptor (D(1) DAR) is robustly phosphorylated by multiple protein kinases, yet the phosphorylation sites and functional consequences of these modifications are not fully understood. Here, we report that the D(1) DAR is phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) in the absence of agonist stimulation. Phosphorylation of the D(1) DAR by PKC is constitutive in nature, can be induced by phorbol ester treatment or through activation of Gq-mediated signal transduction pathways, and is abolished by PKC inhibitors. We demonstrate that most, but not all, isoforms of PKC are capable of phosphorylating the receptor. To directly assess the functional role of PKC phosphorylation of the D(1) DAR, a site-directed mutagenesis approach was used to identify the PKC sites within the receptor. Five serine residues were found to mediate the PKC phosphorylation. Replacement of these residues had no effect on D(1) DAR expression or agonist-induced desensitization; however, G protein coupling and cAMP accumulation were significantly enhanced in PKC-null D(1) DAR. Thus, constitutive or heterologous PKC phosphorylation of the D(1) DAR dampens dopamine activation of the receptor, most likely occurring in a context-specific manner, mediated by the repertoire of PKC isozymes within the cell. 相似文献

Dual regulation of platelet protein kinase B 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Protein kinase B (PKB) is a serine/threonine kinase that is activated by growth hormones and implicated in prevention of apoptosis, glycogen metabolism, and glucose uptake. A key enzyme in PKB activation is phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K), which triggers the dual phosphorylation of PKB by phosphatidylinositol-dependent kinases (PDKs). Here we report that the major PKB subtype in platelets is PKBalpha, which is activated by phosphorylation of Thr(308) and Ser(473) and has a constitutively phosphorylated Thr(450) that does not contribute to PKB activation. alpha-Thrombin and thrombopoietin activate PKBalpha via PI-3K and trigger the concurrent phosphorylation of Thr(308) (via PDK1) and Ser(473) (via a not yet identified PDK2). In addition, alpha-thrombin activates a PI-3K-independent pathway involving phospholipase Cbeta and calcium-dependent protein kinase C subtypes (PKCalpha/beta). This route is specific for phosphorylation of Ser(473) and can be initiated by direct PKC activation with phorbol ester or purified active PKC catalytic fragment in platelet lysate. Different degrees of Ser(473) and Thr(308) phosphorylation correlate with different degrees of enzyme activity. These data reveal a PI-3K-independent PKB activation in which PKCalpha/beta regulates the phosphorylation of Ser(473) in PKBalpha. The independent control of the two phosphorylation sites may contribute to fine regulation of PKBalpha activity. 相似文献

G protein-coupled receptor kinases are well characterized for their ability to phosphorylate and desensitize G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In addition to phosphorylating the beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) and other receptors, G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) can also phosphorylate tubulin, a nonreceptor substrate. To identify novel nonreceptor substrates of GRK2, we used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to find cellular proteins that were phosphorylated upon agonist-stimulation of the beta2AR in a GRK2-dependent manner. The ribosomal protein P2 was identified as an endogenous HEK-293 cell protein whose phosphorylation was increased following agonist stimulation of the beta2AR under conditions where tyrosine kinases, PKC and PKA, were inhibited. P2 along with its other family members, P0 and P1, constitutes a part of the elongation factor-binding site connected to the GTPase center in the 60S ribosomal subunit. Phosphorylation of P2 is known to regulate protein synthesis in vitro. Further, P2 and P1 are shown to be good in vitro substrates for GRK2 with K(M) values approximating 1 microM. The phosphorylation sites in GRK2-phosphorylated P2 are identified (S102 and S105) and are identical to the sites known to regulate P2 activity. When the 60S subunit deprived of endogenous P1 and P2 is reconstituted with GRK2-phosphorylated P2 and unphosphorylated P1, translational activity is greatly enhanced. These findings suggest a previously unrecognized relationship between GPCR activation and the translational control of gene expression mediated by GRK2 activation and P2 phosphorylation and represent a potential novel signaling pathway responsible for P2 phosphorylation in mammals. 相似文献

The EphA2 receptor tyrosine kinase signals through two distinct mechanisms, one regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation and the other by serine/threonine phosphorylation. Serine 892 (S892) is one of the major serine/threonine phosphorylation sites in EphA2, but little is known about its regulation and function. S892 is located in the linker connecting the EphA2 kinase and SAM domains, and is part of a cluster of five phosphorylated residues that includes the well characterized S897. EphA2 can be phosphorylated on S897 by the RSK, AKT and PKA kinases to promote a non-canonical form of signaling that plays an important role in cancer malignancy. Here we show that the Protein Kinase C (PKC) family phosphorylates the EphA2 S892 motif in vitro and in cells. By using a newly developed phosphospecific antibody, we detected EphA2 S892 phosphorylation in a variety of cell lines. As expected for a PKC target site, the PKC activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) increases S892 phosphorylation whereas the broad-spectrum PKC inhibitor Go 6983 inhibits both basal and TPA-induced S892 phosphorylation. Besides phosphorylating S892, PKC can also increase EphA2 phosphorylation on S897 through the MEK kinase, which regulates the ERK-RSK signaling axis. We also found that S892 and S897 phosphorylation induced by PKC activation can be downregulated by ephrin ligand-induced EphA2 canonical signaling. Our data reveal that the PKC family contributes to the phosphorylation cluster in the EphA2 kinase-SAM linker, which regulates EphA2 non-canonical signaling and cancer malignancy. 相似文献

Using GL-affinity column chromatography, a casein phosphorylating protein kinase was purified selectively from the crude membrane fraction of rat liver. The biochemical characteristics of the purified kinase (approximately Mr 210 kDa) are very similar to those reported for polypeptide-dependent protein kinase (kinase P). Moreover, low doses of GL selectively inhibit phosphorylation of Mr 35-36 kDa polypeptides (which are cross-reacted with anti-lipocortins I and II) by the kinase in vitro. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of GL may involve the impairment of the physiological functions of lipocortins through their specific modification by the kinase at the cell membrane level. 相似文献

Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) terminates diacylglycerol (DAG) signaling by phosphorylating DAG to produce phosphatidic acid, which also has signaling properties. Thus, precise control of DGK activity is essential for proper signal transduction. We demonstrated previously that a peptide corresponding to the myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) phosphorylation site domain (PSD) in DGK zeta was phosphorylated in vitro by an active fragment of protein kinase C (PKC). In the present study, we tested full-length DGK zeta and found that PKC alpha phosphorylated DGK zeta on serines within the MARCKS PSD in vitro and in vivo. DGK zeta also coimmunoprecipitated with PKC alpha, suggesting that they reside in a regulated signaling complex. We then tested whether phosphorylation affected DAG kinase activity. We found that a mutant (DGK zeta S/D) in which serines within the MARCKS PSD were altered to aspartates (to mimic phosphorylation) had lower activity compared with wild-type DGK zeta or a control mutant (DGK zeta S/N) in which the same serines were changed to asparagines. Furthermore, activation of PKC alpha by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate inhibited the activity of wild-type DGK zeta, but not DGK zeta S/D, in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. These results suggest that by phosphorylating the MARCKS PSD, PKC alpha attenuates DGK zeta activity. Supporting this, we found that cells expressing DGK zeta S/D had higher DAG levels and grew more rapidly compared with cells expressing DGK zeta S/N that could not be phosphorylated. Taken together, these results indicate that PKC alpha phosphorylates DGK zeta in cells, and this phosphorylation inhibits its kinase activity to remove cellular DAG, thereby affecting cell growth. 相似文献

The beta-subunit of the insulin receptor contains a tyrosine-specific protein kinase. Insulin binding activates this kinase and causes phosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor. It is believed that phosphorylation of other proteins might transmit the insulin signal from the receptor to the cell. In the present study we used a polyclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibody to detect other proteins that become tyrosine phosphorylated upon insulin stimulation. Glycoproteins from human placenta membranes were enriched by wheat germ agglutinin chromatography and phosphorylation was studied with [gamma-32P]ATP and insulin in vitro. Phosphorylated proteins were immunoprecipitated by antibodies against the insulin receptor and by serum containing the anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. Beside the insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of the 95 kDa beta-subunit of the insulin receptor, an insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of a 180 kDa protein was found. The phosphorylation of both proteins occurred only on tyrosine residues. Insulin increased 32P incorporation into the 180 kDa band 2.7-fold (S.E.M. +/- 0.3, n = 5). The 180 kDa protein was not precipitated by antibodies against the insulin receptor. H.p.l.c. chromatograms of tryptic fragments of the phosphorylated 180 kDa protein and of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor revealed different patterns for both proteins. Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of the 180 kDa protein was also detectable in unfractionated detergent-solubilized membranes. The phosphorylation of the 180 kDa protein was stimulated by insulin with the same dose-response curve as the phosphorylation of the beta-subunit, suggesting that this protein might be another endogenous substrate of the insulin receptor kinase. 相似文献

Trypanosoma evansi contains protein kinases capable of phosphorylating endogenous substrates with apparent molecular masses in the range between 20 and 205 kDa. The major phosphopolypeptide band, pp55, was predominantly localized in the particulate fraction. Anti-alpha and anti-beta tubulin monoclonal antibodies recognized pp55 by Western blot analyses, suggesting that this band corresponds to phosphorylated tubulin. Inhibition experiments in the presence of emodin, heparin, and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate indicated that the parasite tubulin kinase was a casein kinase 2 (CK2)-like activity. GTP, which can be utilized instead of ATP by CK2, stimulated rather than inactivated the phosphorylation of tubulin in the parasite homogenate and particulate fraction. However, GTP inhibited the cytosolic CK2 responsible for phosphorylating soluble tubulin and other soluble substrates. Casein and two selective peptide substrates, P1 (RRKDLHDDEEDEAMSITA) for casein kinase (CK1) and P2 (RRRADDSDDDDD) for CK2, were recognized as substrates in T. evansi. While the enzymes present in the soluble fraction predominantly phosphorylated P1, P2 was preferentially labeled in the particulate fractions. These results demonstrated the existence of CK1-like and CK2-like activities primarily located in the parasite cytosolic and membranous fractions, respectively. Histone II-A and kemptide (LRRASVA) also behaved as suitable substrates, implying the existence of other Ser/Thr kinases in T. evansi. Cyclic AMP only increased the phosphorylation of histone II-A and kemptide in the cytosol, demonstrating the existence of soluble cAMP-dependent protein kinase-like activities in T. evansi. However, no endogenous substrates for this enzyme were identified in this fraction. Further evidences were obtained by using PKI (6-22), a reported inhibitor of the catalytic subunit of mammalian cAMP-dependent protein kinases, which specifically hindered the cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of histone II-A and kemptide in the parasite soluble fraction. Since the sum of the values obtained in the parasite cytosolic and particulate fractions were always higher than the values observed in the total T. evansi lysate, the kinase activities examined here appeared to be inhibited in the original extract. 相似文献
