The human trefoil proteins TFF1 and TFF3 are expressed predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract. They are also expressed and regulated by estrogens in malignant breast epithelial cells. TFF1 and TFF3 are small cysteine-rich acidic secreted proteins of 60 and 59 amino acids with similar isoelectric points of 4.75 and 3.94, respectively. Each contains one trefoil domain that is characterized by several conserved features including six cysteine residues with conserved spacing. TFF1 and TFF3 form intermolecular disulfide bonds via an extra-trefoil domain cysteine residue and are present in vivo as monomers and homodimers and as complexes with other proteins. The TFF1 dimer is more active than the TFF1 monomer. In the present study the hydrodynamic and charge properties of TFF1 and TFF3 monomers and homodimers have been compared and shown to differ markedly. Notably, TFF1 is significantly more asymmetric than TFF3 (frictional coefficients 1.25 and 1.12, respectively, p < 0.001), and homodimerization of TFF1 results in a greater increase in asymmetry than for TFF3. The overall charges of TFF1 and TFF3 are very different at neutral pH. Titration curves predicted significant differences in charge across a wide pH range that agreed well with experimental data. The locations of charged amino acids in the primary sequences and in the tertiary structures of TFF1 and TFF3 were examined. This revealed interesting divergence in both the distribution and local topology of charged amino acid side chains. The significant differences between the shape, size, and surface charge of these two closely related molecules may account for their divergent biological activities. 相似文献

The trefoil factor family protein, TFF1, forms a homodimer, via a disulphide linkage, that has greater activity in wound healing assays than the monomer. Having previously determined a high-resolution solution structure of a monomeric analogue of TFF1, we now investigate the structure of the homodimer formed by the native sequence. The two putative receptor/ligand recognition domains are found to be well separated, at opposite ends of a flexible linker. This contrasts sharply with the known fixed and compact arrangement of the two trefoil domains of the closely related TFF2, and has significant implications for the mechanism of action and functional specificity of the TFF of proteins. 相似文献

3D domain swapping is the process by which two or more protein molecules exchange part of their structure to form intertwined dimers or higher oligomers. Bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) is able to swap the N-terminal α-helix (residues 1-13) and/or the C-terminal β-strand (residues 116-124), thus forming a variety of oligomers, including two different dimers. Cis-trans isomerization of the Asn113-Pro114 peptide group was observed when the protein formed the C-terminal swapped dimer. To study the effect of the substitution of Pro114 on the swapping process of RNase A, we have prepared and characterized the P114A monomeric and dimeric variants of the enzyme. In contrast with previous reports, the crystal structure and NMR data on the monomer reveals a mixed cis-trans conformation for the Asn113-Ala114 peptide group, whereas the X-ray structure of the C-terminal swapped dimer of the variant is very close to that of the corresponding dimer of RNase A. The mutation at the C-terminus affects the capability of the N-terminal α-helix to swap and the stability of both dimeric forms. The present results underscore the importance of the hydration shell in determining the cross-talk between the chain termini in the swapping process of RNase A. 相似文献

The secreted proteins intestinal trefoil factor (ITF, 59 residues), pS2 (60 residues), and spasmolytic polypeptide (SP, 106 residues) form a small family of trefoil domain-containing mammalian cell motility factors, which are essential for the maintenance of all mucous-coated epithelial surfaces. We have used 1H NMR spectroscopy to determine the high-resolution structure of human ITF, which has allowed detailed structural comparisons with the other trefoil cell motility factors. The conformation of residues 10-53 of hITF is determined to high precision, but the structure of the N- and C-terrminal residues is poorly defined by the NMR data, which is probably indicative of significant mobility. The core of the trefoil domain in hITF consists of a two-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet (Cys 36 to Asp 39 and Trp 47 to Lys 50), which is capped by an irregular loop and forms a central hairpin (loop 3). The beta-sheet is preceded by a short alpha-helix (Lys 29 to Arg 34), with the majority of the remainder of the domain contained in two loops formed from His 25 to Pro 28 (loop 2) and Ala 12 to Arg 18 (loop 1), which lie on either side of the central hairpin. The region formed by the surface of loop 2, the cleft between loop 2 and loop 3, and the adjacent face of loop 3 has previously been proposed to form the functional site of trefoil domains. Detailed comparisons of the backbone conformations and surface features of the family of trefoil cell motility factors (porcine SP, pS2, and hITF) have identified significant structural and electrostatic differences in the loop 2/loop 3 regions, which suggest that each trefoil protein has a specific target or group of target molecules. 相似文献

Injected TFF1 and TFF3 bind to TFF2-immunoreactive cells in the gastrointestinal tract in rats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Peptides of the trefoil factor family (TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3) are co-secreted with mucus in most organ systems and are believed to interact with mucins to produce high-viscosity, stable gel complexes. We have previously demonstrated that cells in the GI tract possess binding sites to TFF2 and that injected TFF2 ends up in the mucus layer. In the present study, tissue binding and metabolism of parenterally administered human TFF1 and TFF3 in rats were described and compared to the immunohistochemical localization of the TFF peptides. 125I-TFF1 monomer and 125I-TFF3 mono- and dimer were given intravenously to female Wistar rats. The tissue distribution was assessed by gamma counting of organ samples and by autoradiography of histological sections. The degradation of 125I-TFF3 was studied by means of trichloracetic acid (TCA) precipitation and the saturability of the binding by administration of excess unlabelled peptide. The TFF peptides were localized in histologic sections from the GI tract by immunohistochemistry. Injected TFF3 dimer (12%) was taken up by the GI tract. At autoradiography, grains were localized to the same cells that were immunoreactive to TFF2. The binding could be displaced by excess TFF3. Similar binding was observed for the TFF1 and TFF3 monomers apart from binding in the stomach, where the uptake was only 15% in comparison to the dimer. There was no specific binding outside the GI tract and no binding to TFF1 or TFF3 immunoreactive cells. In conclusion, the TFF2-binding cells in the gastrointestinal tract seem to have basolateral, receptor-like activity to all three TFF peptides. The mucous neck cells of the stomach predominantly take up TFFs with two trefoil domains, indicating a different receptor-like activity in the stomach compared to the rest of the GI tract. 相似文献

We studied the expression of trefoil peptides in the different types of intestinal metaplasia of the stomach. Endoscopic biopsy was performed in 132 patients with dyspepsia. Intestinal metaplasia subtype was classified according to the pattern of alcian blue/PAS staining and high iron diamine staining. Expression of trefoil peptides was measured by immunohistochemistry. TFF1 and TFF3 were mainly expressed in goblet cells and TFF2 in columnar cells in all the types of intestinal metaplasia. There was a gradual decrease of TFF1 and TFF3, and increase of TFF2, during the progression of intestinal metaplasia from type I to type III via the type II intermediate. 相似文献

The trefoil factor (TFF) family, which comprises TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3, plays an essential role in epithelial regeneration within the gastrointestinal tract. All three TFFs are present in human saliva; TFF3 is the predominant trefoil peptide. Little is known about the expression and tissue distribution of TFFs in rats, which are commonly used as a model system for human studies. We investigated the localization of the TFF genes that encode secretory peptides in rat submandibular glands (SMG). All three TFFs were expressed in rat SMG, although their location varied. Substantial amounts of TFF1 were detected only in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells in the SMG granular convoluted tubules (GCT), while TFF2 and TFF3 were widely distributed in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells of intercalated ducts (ID), striated ducts (SD) and interlobular ducts (ILD). The three TFFs also were detected especially in the lumens of the SD and ILD. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR and in situ hybridization experiments confirmed TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3 mRNA expressions in the SMG. Greater expression of TFF peptides and mRNA was observed in male rats than in females. The broad expression of TFFs in rat SMG cells and lumens suggests that TFFs function in this organ by their secretion into the duct lumens. We also found differences in TFF expression profiles between rat and human SMG; therefore, caution should be exercised when using rats as a model for human TFF studies. 相似文献

The three-dimensional structure of the gene 5 DNA binding protein (G5BP) from bacteriophage fd has been determined from a combination of multiple isomorphous replacement techniques, partial refinements and deleted fragment difference Fourier syntheses. The structure was refined using restrained parameter least-squares and difference Fourier methods to a final residual of R = 0.217 for the 3528 statistically significant reflections present to 2.3 A resolution. In addition to the 682 atoms of the protein, 12 solvent molecules were included. We describe here the dispositions and orientations of the amino acid side-chains and their interactions as visualized in the G5BP structure. The G5BP monomer of 87 peptide units is almost entirely in the beta-conformation, organized as a three-stranded sheet, a two-stranded beta-ribbon and a broad connecting loop. There is no alpha-helix present in the molecule. Two G5BP monomers are tightly interlocked about an intermolecular dyad axis to form a compact dimer unit of about 55 A X 45 A X 36 A. The dimer is characterized by two symmetry-related antiparallel clefts that traverse the monomer surfaces essentially perpendicular to the dyad axis. From the three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet, formed from the first two-thirds of the sequence, extend three tyrosine residues (26, 34, 41), a lysine (46) and two arginine residues (16, 21) that, as indicated by other physical and chemical experiments, are directly involved in DNA binding. Other residues likely to share binding responsibility are arginine 80 extending from the beta-ribbon and phenylalanine 73 from the tip of this loop, but as provided, however, by the opposite monomer within each G5BP dimer pair. Thus, both symmetry-related DNA binding sites have a composite nature and include contributions from both elements of the dimer. The gene 5 dimer is clearly the active binding species, and the two monomers within the dyad-related pair are so structurally contiguous that one cannot be certain whether the isolated monomer would maintain its observed crystal structure. This linkage is manifested primarily as a skeletal core of hydrophobic residues that extends from the center of each monomer continuously through an intermolecular beta-barrel that joins the pair. Protruding from the major area of density of each monomer is an elongated wing of tenuous structure comprising residues 15 through 32, which is, we believe, intimately involved in DNA binding. This wing appears to be dynamic and mobile, even in the crystal and, therefore, is likely to undergo conformational change in the presence of the ligand. 相似文献

We have investigated the mechanism and the evolutionary pathway of protein dimerization through analysis of experimental structures of dimers. We propose that the evolution of dimers may have multiple pathways, including (1) formation of a functional dimer directly without going through an ancestor monomer, (2) formation of a stable monomer as an intermediate followed by mutations of its surface residues, and (3), a domain swapping mechanism, replacing one segment in a monomer by an equivalent segment from an identical chain in the dimer. Some of the dimers which are governed by a domain swapping mechanism may have evolved at an earlier stage of evolution via the second mechanism. Here, we follow the theory that the kinetic pathway reflects the evolutionary pathway. We analyze the structure-kinetics-evolution relationship for a collection of symmetric homodimers classified into three groups: (1) 14 dimers, which were referred to as domain swapping dimers in the literature; (2) nine 2-state dimers, which have no measurable intermediates in equilibrium denaturation; and (3), eight 3-state dimers, which have stable intermediates in equilibrium denaturation. The analysis consists of the following stages: (i) The dimer is divided into two structural units, which have twofold symmetry. Each unit contains a contiguous segment from one polypeptide chain of the dimer, and its complementary contiguous segment from the other chain. (ii) The division is repeated progressively, with different combinations of the two segments in each unit. (iii) The coefficient of compactness is calculated for the units in all divisions. The coefficients obtained for different cuttings of a dimer form a compactness profile. The profile probes the structural organization of the two chains in a dimer and the stability of the monomeric state. We describe the features of the compactness profiles in each of the three dimer groups. The profiles identify the swapping segments in domain swapping dimers, and can usually predict whether a dimer has domain swapping. The kinetics of dimerization indicates that some dimers which have been assigned in the literature as domain swapping cases, dimerize through the 2-state kinetics, rather than through swapping segments of performed monomers. The compactness profiles indicate a wide spectrum in the kinetics of dimerization: dimers having no intermediate stable monomers; dimers having an intermediate with a stable monomer structure; and dimers having an intermediate with a stable structure in part of the monomer. These correspond to the multiple evolutionary pathways for dimer formation. The evolutionary mechanisms proposed here for dimers are applicable to other oligomers as well. 相似文献

The gastric tumour suppressor trefoil protein TFF1 is present as a covalently bound heterodimer with a previously uncharacterised protein, TFIZ1, in normal human gastric mucosa. The purpose of this research was firstly to examine the molecular forms of TFIZ1 present, secondly to determine if TFIZ1 binds other proteins apart form TFF1 in vivo, thirdly to investigate if TFIZ1 and TFF1 are co-regulated in normal gastric mucosa and fourthly to determine if their co-regulation is maintained or disrupted in gastric cancer. We demonstrate that almost all human TFIZ1 is present as a heterodimer with TFF1 and that TFIZ1 is not bound to either of the other two trefoil proteins, TFF2 and TFF3. TFIZ1 and TFF1 are co-expressed by the surface mucus secretory cells throughout the stomach and the molecular forms of each protein are affected by the relative abundance of the other. TFIZ1 expression is lost consistently, early and permanently in gastric tumour cells. In contrast, TFF1 is sometimes expressed in the absence of TFIZ1 in gastric cancer cells and this expression is associated with metastasis (lymph node involvement: p=0.007). In conclusion, formation of the heterodimer between TFIZ1 and TFF1 is a specific interaction that occurs uniquely in the mucus secretory cells of the stomach, co-expression of the two proteins is disrupted in gastric cancer and expression of TFF1 in the absence of TFIZ1 is associated with a more invasive and metastatic phenotype. This indicates that TFF1 expression in the absence of TFIZ1 expression has potentially deleterious consequences in gastric cancer. 相似文献

Secretion of the trefoil factor TFF3 from the isolated vascularly perfused rat colon 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The trefoil factor TFF3 is a peptide predominantly produced by mucus-secreting cells in the small and large intestines. It has been implicated in intestinal protection and repair. The mechanisms that govern TFF3 secretion are poorly understood. The aim of this study was, therefore, to evaluate the influence of neurotransmitters, hormonal peptides and mediators of inflammation on the release of TFF3. For this purpose, an isolated vascularly perfused rat colon preparation was used. After a bolus administration of 1 ml isotonic saline into the lumen, TFF3 secretion was induced by a 30-min intra-arterial infusion of the compounds to be tested. TFF3 was evaluated in the luminal effluent using a newly developed radioimmunoassay. TFF3 was barely detected in crude luminal samples. In contrast, dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment of the effluent revealed TFF3 immunoreactivity, which amounted to about 0.3 pmol min(-1) cm(-1) in the basal state. Gel chromatography of DTT-treated luminal samples revealed a single peak that co-eluted with the monomeric form of TFF3. TFF3 was not detected in the portal effluent. Bethanechol (10(-6)-10(-4) M), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, 10(-8)-10(-7) M) or bombesin (10(-8)-10(-7) M) induced a dose-dependent release of TFF3. In contrast, substance P evoked a modest release of TFF3, whereas calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), somatostatin, neurotensin or peptide YY (PYY) did not modify TFF3 secretion. The degranulator compound bromolasalocid, 16,16-dimethyl PGE2 (dmPGE2) or interleukin-1-beta (IL-1-beta) also evoked a marked release of TFF3. In conclusion, TFF3 in the colonic effluent is present in a complex. This association presumably involves a disulfide bond. Additionally, the present results suggest a role for enteric nervous system and resident immune cells in mediation of colonic TFF3 secretion. 相似文献

TFF1 is one of three human trefoil proteins expressed principally in the gastrointestinal tract in normal tissues. TFF1 protects the gastric mucosa against damage as a result of its ability to facilitate reconstitution of damaged gastric mucosa and its involvement in the secretion and structure of gastric mucus. The most biologically active molecular form in cell culture and animal models tested is a dimer formed by a disulfide bond between two cysteine residues close to the C terminus of the protein. We have therefore developed an assay for this form of TFF1 which should facilitate its measurement in biological samples. 相似文献

The variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) of African trypanosomes has a structural role in protecting other cell surface proteins from effector molecules of the mammalian immune system and also undergoes antigenic variation necessary for a persistent infection in a host. Here we have reported the solution structure of a VSG type 2 C-terminal domain from MITat1.2, completing the first structure of both domains of a VSG. The isolated C-terminal domain is a monomer in solution and forms a novel fold, which commences with a short alpha-helix followed by a single turn of 3(10)-helix and connected by a short loop to a small anti-parallel beta-sheet and then a longer alpha-helix at the C terminus. This compact domain is flanked by two unstructured regions. The structured part of the domain contains 42 residues, and the core comprises 2 disulfide bonds and 2 hydrophobic residues. These cysteines and hydrophobic residues are conserved in other VSGs, and we have modeled the structures of two further VSG C-terminal domains using the structure of MITat1.2. The models suggest that the overall structure of the core is conserved in the different VSGs but that the C-terminal alpha-helix is of variable length and depends on the presence of charged residues. The results provided evidence for a conserved tertiary structure for all the type 2 VSG C-terminal domains, indicated that VSG dimers form through interactions between N-terminal domains, and showed that the selection pressure for sequence variation within a conserved tertiary structure acts on the whole of the VSG molecule. 相似文献

Vaccination against cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is proven to be effective for inhibiting atherosclerosis in animal models. In this study, the proteases-resistant intestinal trefoil factor (TFF3) was used as a molecular vehicle to construct chimeric TFF3 (cTFF3) containing CETP B cell epitope and tetanus toxin helper T cell epitope. It was found that cTFF3 still preserved a trefoil structure, and can resist proteases digestion in vitro. After oral immunization with cTFF3, the CETP-specific IgA and IgG could be found in intestine lavage fluid and serum, and the anti-CETP antibodies could inhibit partial CETP activity to increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and inhibit atherosclerosis in animals. Therefore, TFF3 is a potential molecular vehicle for developing oral peptide vaccines. Our research highlights a novel strategy for developing oral peptide vaccines in the future. 相似文献

Effect of ectopic expression of rat trefoil factor family 3 (intestinal trefoil factor) in the jejunum of transgenic mice 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

To further examine the function of the trefoil factor family (TFF), the expression of which is up-regulated at sites of injury, we have produced transgenic mice that chronically express rat TFF3 within the jejunum (using a rat fatty acid-binding protein promoter). The expression of rat TFF3 was limited to the villi of the jejunum and had no effect on base-line morphology. Rat TFF3 expression did result, however, in a reduced sensitivity to indomethacin (85 mg/kg subcutaneously), which only caused a 29% reduction in villus height in transgenics versus 51% reduction in controls (p < 0.01). Indomethacin increased initial intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and migration, but the presence of rat TFF3 caused no additional change in proliferation (bromodeoxyuridine), cell migration ([(3)H]thymidine and bromodeoxyuridine), apoptosis (terminal deoxyuridine nucleotidyl nick end labeling), or E-cadherin immunostaining. In vitro studies following changes in resistance of intestinal strips in Ussing chambers (voltage-clamp technique) showed increased base-line resistance in the rat TFF3-expressing region (326 +/- 60 versus 195 +/- 48 ohm.cm(2) in controls, p < 0.05) and reduced the fall in resistance following HCl exposure by about 40% (p < 0.01). Overexpression of TFF3 stabilizes the mucosa against noxious agents, supporting its role in mucosal protection/repair. It may therefore provide a novel approach to the prevention and/or treatment of intestinal ulceration. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of putative trefoil peptide receptors 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Mammalian trefoil factors (TFFs) constitute a group of three peptides (TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3) widely distributed in the gastrointestinal tract. Although a mucosal protection/healing effect of these peptides is well documented the mechanism of action is still unknown. A mucosal membrane extract was prepared from porcine stomach scrapings and incubated with a gel containing immobilized porcine TFF2. The affinity gel material was specifically eluted with a neutral buffer containing a high concentration of the ligand (porcine TFF2). A subsequent SDS–gel electrophoresis showed one protein with a MW of approximately 220 kDa and three proteins with MW around 140 kDa. The proteins were analyzed by trypsin digestion followed by mass spectrometric sequencing of tryptic fragments. In this way a 140-kDa β subunit of fibronectin receptor and a 224-kDa CRP-Ductin gene product were identified. The CRP-Ductin gene product (also named MUCLIN), which is expressed in the intestinal crypts, is characterized by being a membrane protein with a short cytoplasmic region, a transmembrane domain and a large extracellular region. This protein thus fulfils some of the criteria for being a TFF receptor or a TFF binding protein. 相似文献

BMP-2 is widely used for bone regeneration because of its ability to induce osteoblast differentiation and proliferation. The pharmaceutical application of BMP-2 as bone implant makes the studies on stability and conformational dynamics very relevant as proteins are functional only in their native three-dimensional state. Knowing the factors affecting BMP-2 structure becomes essential for designing bone implants activated by BMP-2. In order to explore the influence of temperature and hydration on protein conformation, we have performed the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at the time scale of 100 ns with two different force fields. We have examined the dynamic behaviour of BMP-2 monomer and dimer in aqueous medium as well as in vacuum at four different temperatures (300, 350, 400 and 450 K). MD simulation of BMP-2 monomer and dimer in water and vacuum environments shows the major contribution of water in structure stabilization. Temperature of the system affects the secondary structure differently in case of monomer and dimer simulation and the dynamics also depends on the environment viz. vacuum and aqueous. Vacuum simulations show very early loss of the major secondary structure content. On the other hand, BMP-2 monomer and dimer in aqueous environment show the unfolding of α-helix with increasing temperature. This unfolded α-helix is converted into β-sheet at 400 K in monomer of BMP-2. Contrary to this, we did not observe β-sheet formation in dimer BMP-2 even at 450 K indicating that monomers are more aggregation prone entity as compared to dimers of BMP-2. 相似文献

The structure of sub-nucleosomal particles. The octameric (H3/H4)4--125-base-pair-DNA complex 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chicken erythrocyte chromatin was depleted of histones H1, H5, H2A and H2B. The resulting (H3/H4)-containing chromatin was digested with micrococcal nuclease to yield monomer, dimer, trimer etc. units, irregularly spaced on the DNA, with even-number multimers being more prominent. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation separated monomers and dimers (7.7 S and 10.5 S). Sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis and cross-linking indicated: the monomer contains 50-base-pair (bp), 60-bp and 70-bp DNA and the dimer 125-bp DNA; the monomer contains a tetramer and the dimer an octamer of H3 and H4. Partial association of monomer units to dimers inhibits structural studies of monomers. The internal structure of the dimer, i.e. and (H3/H4)4-125-bp-DNA particle, was studied using circular dichroism, thermal denaturation and nuclease digestion. Both micrococcal nuclease and DNase I digestion indicate that, unlike core particles, accessible sites occur in the centre of the particle and it is concluded that the (H3/H4)4-125-bp-DNA particle is not a 'pseudo-core particle' in which the 'extra' H3 and H4 replace H2A and H2B. It is proposed that the octamer particle is formed by the sliding together of two 'monomer' units, each containing the (H3/H4)2 tetramer and 70 bp of DNA. Excision of this dimer unit with micrococcal nuclease results in the loss of 10 readily digestible base pairs at each end, leaving 125 bp. 相似文献
