Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) has been suggested to play a regulatory role in vivo, in DNA replication and/or DNA repair based mainly on its capacity to bind to DNA strand breaks. This interaction is modulated through auto poly(ADP-ribosylation). However, the biological function of PARP may also involve interactions with proteins such as topoisomerase I or DNA polymerase , which may or may not be themselves ADP-ribosylated. Using the yeast two-hybrid method search for other proteins interacting with PARP, we have isolated a full-length cDNA clone coding for a protein of 158 amino acid residues. This amino acid sequence is 66 and 56% identical to yeast ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes Hus5 and Ubc9 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, respectively. Moreover, we have demonstrated that the expressed protein complements a S. cerevisiae yeast strain deficient for Ubc9. The protein encoded by the isolated cDNA is thus a new human counterpart of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family and has been called hUbc9. The hubc9 gene locus has been assigned to the chromosomal location 16p13.2-p13.3. By means of two-hybrid analysis it was discovered that hUbc9 interacts with the automodification domain of PARP. This interaction was further confirmed using GST (glutathione-S-transferase) tagged fusion proteins: (i) in vivo, by transfecting cos7 cells with hUbc9 cloned in an eukaryotic expression vector, and (ii) in vitro, by mixing purified PARP with hUbc9 purified and expressed in bacteria. The possible significance and function of this interaction is discussed while taking into account the possible intracellular role of hUbc9. 相似文献

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is conserved in eukaryotes. To analyze the function of PARP, we isolated and characterized the gene for PARP in Drosophila melanogaster. The PARP gene consisted of six translatable exons and spanned more than 50 kb. The DNA binding domain is encoded by exons 1-4. Although the consensus cleavage site of CED-3 like protease during apoptosis is conserved from human to Xenopus laevis PARPs, it is neither conserved in the corresponding region of Drosophila nor Sarcophaga peregrina. There are two cDNAs species in Drosophila. One cDNA could encode the full length PARP protein (PARP I), while the other is a truncated cDNA which could encode a partial-length PARP protein (PARP II), which lacks the automodification domain and is possibly produced by alternative splicing. The expression of these two forms of PARP in E. coli demonstrated that while PARP II has the catalytic NAD-binding domain and DNA-binding domain it is enzymatically inactive. On the other hand PARP I is active. A deletion mutant of PARP gene could grow to the end of embryogenesis but did not grow to the adult fly. These results suggest that the PARP gene plays an important function during the development of Drosophila. 相似文献

Poly(ADP-ribosylation) is a post-translational modification of nuclear proteins in response to DNA damage that activates the base excision repair machinery. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase which we will now call PARP-1, has been the only known enzyme of this type for over 30 years. Here, we describe a cDNA encoding a 62-kDa protein that shares considerable homology with the catalytic domain of PARP-1 and also contains a basic DNA-binding domain. We propose to call this enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 2 (PARP-2). The PARP-2 gene maps to chromosome 14C1 and 14q11.2 in mouse and human, respectively. Purified recombinant mouse PARP-2 is a damaged DNA-binding protein in vitro and catalyzes the formation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymers in a DNA-dependent manner. PARP-2 displays automodification properties similar to PARP-1. The protein is localized in the nucleus in vivo and may account for the residual poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis observed in PARP-1-deficient cells, treated with alkylating agents or hydrogen peroxide. 相似文献

In Petunia, the expression of the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase gene (EPSPS) is tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. Nuclear extracts from Petunia petal contain a factor that interacts with the 5' upstream region of EPSPS. DNase I footprinting experiments revealed four strong binding sites (EP1-EP4) and several weaker sites that appear to bind the same factor. We have isolated a cDNA clone (EPF1) encoding a DNA-binding protein that has similar binding activity to that of the nuclear factor. The deduced amino acid sequence shows that the encoded protein, EPF1, contains two repeats of a Cys2/His2 zinc finger motif. EPF1 and the factor detected in nuclear extracts appear to differ in their molecular weight and Zn2+ requirements. Nevertheless, Northern blot analyses showed that the expression pattern of EPF1 is remarkably similar to that of EPSPS. In addition, as determined by translational fusion of the EPF1 upstream region to the beta-glucuronidase reporter gene, the cell specific expression pattern of EPF1 in flower and seedling is nearly identical to that of EPSPS. Taken together with the results of cis-element analyses, these observations suggest that EPF1 may be one of the factors involved in the activation of EPSPS. 相似文献

BNIP3 heterodimerizes with Bcl-2/Bcl-X(L) and induces cell death independent of a Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain at both mitochondrial and nonmitochondrial sites 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

BNIP3 (formerly NIP3) is a pro-apoptotic, mitochondrial protein classified in the Bcl-2 family based on limited sequence homology to the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain and COOH-terminal transmembrane (TM) domain. BNIP3 expressed in yeast and mammalian cells interacts with survival promoting proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-X(L), and CED-9. Typically, the BH3 domain of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 homologues mediates Bcl-2/Bcl-X(L) heterodimerization and confers pro-apoptotic activity. Deletion mapping of BNIP3 excluded its BH3-like domain and identified the NH(2) terminus (residues 1-49) and TM domain as critical for Bcl-2 heterodimerization, and either region was sufficient for Bcl-X(L) interaction. Additionally, the removal of the BH3-like domain in BNIP3 did not diminish its killing activity. The TM domain of BNIP3 is critical for homodimerization, pro-apoptotic function, and mitochondrial targeting. Several TM domain mutants were found to disrupt SDS-resistant BNIP3 homodimerization but did not interfere with its killing activity or mitochondrial localization. Substitution of the BNIP3 TM domain with that of cytochrome b(5) directed protein expression to nonmitochondrial sites and still promoted apoptosis and heterodimerization with Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L). We propose that BNIP3 represents a subfamily of Bcl-2-related proteins that functions without a typical BH3 domain to regulate apoptosis from both mitochondrial and nonmitochondrial sites by selective Bcl-2/Bcl-X(L) interactions. 相似文献

Genotoxic stress activates nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) metabolism leading to PAR synthesis catalyzed by DNA damage activated poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and rapid PAR turnover by action of nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). The involvement of PARP-1 and PARP-2 in responses to DNA damage has been well studied but the involvement of nuclear PARG is less well understood. To gain insights into the function of nuclear PARG in DNA damage responses, we have quantitatively studied PAR metabolism in cells derived from a hypomorphic mutant mouse model in which exons 2 and 3 of the PARG gene have been deleted (PARG-Delta2,3 cells), resulting in a nuclear PARG containing a catalytic domain but lacking the N-terminal region (A domain) of the protein. Following DNA damage induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), we found that the activity of both PARG and PARPs in intact cells is increased in PARG-Delta2,3 cells. The increased PARG activity leads to decreased PARP-1 automodification with resulting increased PARP activity. The degree of PARG activation is greater than PARP, resulting in decreased PAR accumulation. Following MNNG treatment, PARG-Delta2,3 cells show reduced formation of XRCC1 foci, delayed H2AX phosphorylation, decreased DNA break intermediates during repair, and increased cell death. Our results show that a precise coordination of PARPs and PARG activities is important for normal cellular responses to DNA damage and that this coordination is defective in the absence of the PARG A domain. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of eIF4E is required for protein synthesis during starfish oocyte maturation. The activity of protein kinase C-related kinase 2 (PRK2) increases prior to the phosphorylation of eIF4E (G. Stapleton et al., 1998, Dev. Biol. 193, 34-46). We investigate here whether eIF4E is activated by PRK2. A 3.5-kb eIF4E clone isolated from starfish cDNA is 57% identical to human eIF4E and contains the putative phosphorylation site serine-209. The serine-209 environment (SKTGS(209)MAKSRF) is similar to the consensus sequence of the phosphorylation site of protein kinase C and related kinases. A starfish eIF4E fusion protein (GST-4E) was phosphorylated in vitro by PRK2 in the presence of 1,2-diolyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. In contrast, replacing the GST-4E serine-209 with an alanine significantly reduced this phosphorylation. Analysis by two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping reveals a major phosphopeptide in trypsin-digested GST-4E, but not in its serine-209 mutant. Importantly, this major phosphopeptide in GST-4E corresponds to a major phosphopeptide of eIF4E isolated from (32)P-labeled oocytes. Thus, PRK2 may regulate translation initiation during oocyte maturation by phosphorylating the serine-209 residue of eIF4E in starfish. We also demonstrate that high levels of cAMP inhibit the activation of PRK2, eIF4E, and the eIF4E binding protein during starfish oocyte maturation, while PI3 kinase activates these proteins. 相似文献

A 190-kDa centrosomal protein interacts with microtubules when Drosophila embryo extracts are passed over microtubule-affinity columns. We have obtained a partial cDNA clone that encodes this protein. Using a fusion protein produced from the clone, we have developed a novel immunoaffinity chromatography procedure that allows both the 190-kDa protein and a complex of proteins that associates with it to be isolated in in a single step. For this procedure, the fusion protein is used as an antigen to prepare rabbit polyclonal antibodies, and those antibodies that recognize the 190-kDa protein with low affinity are selectively purified on a column containing immobilized antigen. These low-affinity antibodies are then used to construct an immunoaffinity column. When Drosophila embryo extracts are passed over this column, the 190-kDa protein is quantitatively retained and can be eluted in nearly pure form under nondenaturing conditions with 1.5 M MgCl2, pH 7.6. The immunoaffinity column is washed with 1.0 M KCl just before the elution with 1.5 M MgCl2. This wash elutes 10 major proteins, as well as a number of minor ones. We present evidence that these KCl-eluted proteins represent additional centrosomal components that interact with the 190-kDa protein to form a multiprotein complex within the cell. 相似文献

Based on sequence homology with a previously cloned human GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase, we have identified an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a novel member of the Gal/GalNAc/GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase (GST) family termed GST-5 on the human X chromosome (band Xp11). GST-5 has recently been characterized as a novel GalNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase termed chondroitin 6-sulfotransferase-2 (Kitagawa, H., Fujita, M., Itio, N., and Sugahara K. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 21075-21080). We have coexpressed a human GST-5 cDNA with a GlyCAM-1/IgG fusion protein in COS-7 cells and observed four-fold enhanced [(35)S]sulfate incorporation into this mucin acceptor. All mucin-associated [(35)S]sulfate was incorporated as GlcNAc-6-sulfate or Galbeta1-->4GlcNAc-6-sulfate. GST-5 was also expressed in soluble epitope-tagged form and found to catalyze 6-O-sulfation of GlcNAc residues in synthetic acceptor structures. In particular, GST-5 was found to catalyze 6-O-sulfation of beta-benzyl GlcNAc but not alpha- or beta-benzyl GalNAc. In the mouse genome we have found a homologous ORF that predicts a novel murine GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase with 88% identity to the human enzyme. This gene was mapped to mouse chromosome X at band XA3.1-3.2. GST-5 is the newest member of an emerging family of carbohydrate 6-O-sulfotransferases that includes chondroitin 6-sulfotransferase (GST-0), keratan-sulfate galactose 6-O-sulfotransferase (GST-1), the ubiquitously expressed GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase (GST-2), high endothelial cell GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase (GST-3), and intestinal GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase (GST-4). 相似文献

Human adenovirus type 9 (Ad9) is unique among oncogenic adenoviruses in that it elicits exclusively mammary tumors in rats and requires the viral E4 region open reading frame 1 (9ORF1) gene for tumorigenicity. The 9ORF1 oncogenic determinant codes for a 14-kDa transforming protein, and three separate regions of this polypeptide, including one at the extreme C terminus, are necessary for transforming activity. In this study, we investigated whether the 9ORF1 transforming protein interacts with cellular factors. Following incubation with cell extracts, a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-9ORF1 fusion protein associated with several cellular phosphoproteins (p220, p180, p160, p155), whereas GST fusion proteins of transformation-defective 9ORF1 C-terminal mutants did not. Similar interactions requiring the 9ORF1 C terminus were revealed with protein-blotting assays, in which a GST-9ORF1 protein probe reacted specifically with cellular polypeptides having gel mobilities resembling those of the 9ORF1-associated cellular phosphoproteins, as well as with additional cellular polypeptides designated p140/p130. In addition, GST fusion proteins containing 9ORF1 C-terminal fragments associated with some of the 9ORF1-associated cellular polypeptides, as did GST fusion proteins of full-length wild-type Ad5 and Ad12 E4 ORF1 transforming proteins. Significantly, the results of coimmunoprecipitation analyses suggested that the same cellular polypeptides also associate with wild-type but not C-terminal-mutant 9ORF1 proteins in vivo. Together, these findings suggest that the 9ORF1 C terminus, which is essential for transformation, participates in specific and direct binding of the 9ORF1 oncoprotein to multiple cellular polypeptides. We propose that interactions with these cellular factors may be responsible, at least in part, for the transforming activity of the 9ORF1 viral oncoprotein. 相似文献
