Two DNA fragments, AP-1 and AP-2, encoding amino acid sequences closely related to Ser/Thr protein phosphatases were amplified from Arabidopsis thaliana genomic DNA. Fragment AP-1 was used to screen. A. thaliana cDNA libraries and several positive clones were isolated. Clones EP8a and EP14a were sequenced and found to encode almost identical proteins (97% identity). Both proteins are 306 amino acids in length and are very similar (79–80% identity) to the mammalian isotypes of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A. Therefore, they have been designated PP2A-1 and PP2A-2. A third cDNA clone, EP7, was isolated and sequenced. The polypeptide encoded (308 amino acids, lacking the initial Met codon) is 80% identical with human phosphatases 2A and was named PP2A-3. The PP2A-3 protein is extremely similar (95% identity) to the predicted protein from a cDNA clone previously found in Brassica napus. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA using AP-1 and AP-2 probes, as well as probes derived from clones EP7, EP8a and EP14a strongly indicates that at least 6 genes closely related to type 2A phosphatases are present in the genome of A. thaliana. Northern blot analysis using the same set of probes demonstrates that, at the seedling stage, the mRNA levels for PP2A-1, PP2A-3 and the gene containing the AP-1 sequence are much higher than those of PP2A-2 and AP-2. These results demonstrate that a multiplicity of type 2A phosphatases might be differentially expressed in higher plants. 相似文献

The Mr = 33,000 catalytic fragment of rabbit skeletal muscle type 1 protein phosphatase was digested with trypsin after reduction and alkylation. The resulting peptides were isolated, subjected to automated Edman degradation, and their sequences compared to the deduced peptide sequence of the bovine type 2A protein phosphatase cDNA. Of 10 tryptic peptides from the type 1 phosphatase that were sequenced, nine showed a high degree of homology with the type 2A phosphatase. This provides the first direct sequence comparison suggesting that the type 1 and type 2 protein phosphatases, distinguished functionally by their substrate specificities and sensitivity to inhibitors, make up part of a family of closely related gene products with similar structures. 相似文献

Cyanobacterial microcystin-LR is a potent and specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A from both mammals and higher plants 总被引:59,自引:0,他引:59
The cyclic heptapeptide, microcystin-LR, inhibits protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A) with Ki values below 0.1 nM. Protein phosphatase 2B is inhibited 1000-fold less potently, while six other phosphatases and eight protein kinases tested are unaffected. These results are strikingly similar to those obtained with the tumour promoter okadaic acid. We establish that okadaic acid prevents the binding of microcystin-LR to PP2A, and that protein inhibitors 1 and 2 prevent the binding of microcystin-LR to PP1. We discuss the possibility that inhibition of PP1 and PP2A accounts for the extreme toxicity of microcystin-LR, and indicate its potential value in the detection and analysis of protein kinases and phosphatases. 相似文献

Identification of protein phosphatases 1 and 2B as ribosomal protein S6 phosphatases in vitro and in vivo 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Protein phosphatases 1 and 2B from rabbit skeletal muscle were found to catalyze the dephosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 in vitro. Phosphorylation of protein phosphatase-1 by the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus, pp60v-src, abolished S6 dephosphorylation by the purified enzyme. Analysis of the dephosphorylation of phosphorylase a and phosphorylase kinase in Xenopus oocyte extracts and after microinjection indicated the presence of oocyte enzymes similar to protein phosphatases-1 and -2B. Studies with 32P-labeled 40 S ribosomal subunits suggested that these enzymes were functioning as S6 phosphatases in oocytes. These findings support the hypothesis that regulation of protein phosphatase activity may be involved in the increase in S6 phosphorylation observed after mitogenic stimulation. 相似文献

Protein phosphatases 2A1 and 2A2 were isolated from porcine heart tissue extracts by precipitation at pH 5.0 and separated by chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel. Phosphatase 2A1 was then purified to apparent homogeneity by chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose, aminohexyl-Sepharose, Sephacryl S-300, and L-tyrosine-agarose. Phosphatase 2A2 was purified to apparent homogeneity by chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose, DEAE-Sephacel, aminohexyl-Sepharose and L-tyrosine-agarose. Purified phosphatases 2A1 and 2A2 had specific activities of 2200 and 2710 nanomoles of phosphate released from phosphorylase a/mg protein, respectively. The apparent molecular weights of phosphatases 2A1 and 2A2 on gel filtration were 155 and 105 kDa, respectively. Both enzymes contain 70 and 37 kDa subunits and 2A1 also contains a 57 kDa subunit. The 37 kDa catalytic subunit (2Ac) was obtained from the purified phosphatases by treatment with room temperature ethanol followed by sucrose density gradient centrifugation or gel filtration chromatography. 相似文献

Characterization of microcystin-LR, a potent inhibitor of type 1 and type 2A protein phosphatases 总被引:30,自引:0,他引:30

The level of protein phosphorylation is dependent on the relative activities of both protein kinases and protein phosphatases. By comparison with protein kinases, however, there have been considerably fewer studies on the functions of serine/threonine protein phosphatases. This is partly due to a lack of specific protein phosphatase inhibitors that can be used as probes. In the present study we characterize the inhibitory effects of microcystin-LR, a hepatotoxic cyclic peptide associated with most strains of the blue-green algae Microcystis aeruginosa found in the Northern hemisphere, that proves to be a potent inhibitor of type 1 (IC50 = 1.7 nM) and type 2A (IC50 = 0.04 nM) protein phosphatases. Microcystin-LR inhibited the activity of both type 1 and type 2A phosphatases greater than 10-fold more potently than okadaic acid under the same conditions. Type 2A protein phosphatases in dilute mammalian cell extracts were found to be completely inhibited by 0.5 nM microcystin-LR while type 1 protein phosphatases were only slightly affected at this concentration. Thus, microcystin-LR may prove to be a useful probe for the study and identification cellular processes which are mediated by protein phosphatases. 相似文献

The pH optima of mevalonate kinase and phosphatases in green leaves, cotyledons and chloroplasts of French bean, and in green leaves and chloroplasts of maize, have been studied. Whereas in chloroplasts the pH optimum for mevalonate kinase is at pH 7·5 with little or no activity at pH 5·5, there is with leaf and cotyledon preparations appreciable activity at the lower pH. Under some circumstances isoelectric focusing studies have given fractions showing mevalonate kinase activity at only pH 7·5 or 5·5. Acid phosphatase and ATPase activity in preparations is maximal at pH 5·5 and is much reduced in the presence of high levels of phosphate. Other investigations reported concern the stability of mevalonate kinase and phosphatase activity at pH 5·5 and 7·5 on ageing of extracts, and the activity of mevalonate kinase on greening of etiolated French bean cotyledons. The influence of metal cofactors and fluoride on mevalonate kinase and phosphatase are reported. 相似文献

The phragmoplast executes cytokinesis in higher plants. The major components of the phragmoplast are microtubules, which are arranged in two mirror-image arrays perpendicular to the division plane [1]. The plus ends of these microtubules are located near the site of the future cell plate. Golgi-derived vesicles are transported along microtubules towards the plus ends to deliver materials bound for the cell plate [2] [3]. During cell division, rapid microtubule reorganization in the phragmoplast requires the orchestrated activities of microtubule motor proteins such as kinesins. We isolated an Arabidopsis cDNA clone of a gene encoding an amino-terminal motor kinesin, AtPAKRP1, and have determined the partial sequence of its rice homolog. Immunofluorescence experiments with two sets of specific antibodies revealed consistent localization of AtPAKRP1 and its homolog in Arabidopsis and rice cells undergoing anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis. AtPAKRP1 started to accumulate along microtubules towards the spindle midzone during late anaphase. Once the phragmoplast microtubule array was established, AtPAKRP1 conspicuously localized to microtubules near the future cell plate. Our results provide evidence that AtPAKRP1 is a hitherto unknown motor that may take part in the establishment and/or maintenance of the phragmoplast microtubule array. 相似文献

Separation and identification of type 1 and type 2 protein phosphatases from rabbit reticulocyte lysates 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Protein phosphatase type 1 and type 2 activities (designated PP-1 and PP-2, respectively) from rabbit reticulocyte lysates have been identified and characterized based on criteria previously established for similar activities in rabbit skeletal muscle and rabbit liver. These include (a) chromatographic separation on DEAE-cellulose, (b) substrate specificity toward glycogen phosphorylase a and the alpha- and beta-subunits of phosphorylase kinase, (c) differential sensitivity to the heat-stable protein phosphatase inhibitors-1 and -2, and (d) sensitivity to MgATP. When total lysate phosphatases are assayed in the presence of 1 mM MnCl2, protein phosphatase type 2 represents 84% of lysate phosphorylase phosphatase activity. However, when phosphatase assays are carried out with MgATP concentrations similar to those in the lysate, type 2 activity is diminished, and the levels of type 1 (41%) and type 2 (59%) phosphatase activities are comparable. A small proportion (6%) of total lysate phosphatase is tightly bound to the ribosomes, where type 1 phosphatase predominates. At least five species of protein phosphatases can be identified in lysates. These constitute two forms of protein phosphatase type 1, one of which (designated FC) is dependent on MgATP and a lysate activator protein FA; both FC and FA have been identified previously in skeletal muscle. Three species of protein phosphatase type 2 have been identified and designated PP-2B, PP-2A1, and PP-2A2 based on criteria recently established for rabbit skeletal muscle and rabbit liver phosphatases, which display similar phosphatase profiles. Lysate protein phosphatases types 1, FC, 2A1, and 2A2 can all act on phosphorylase a and the alpha- (type 2) or beta-(type 1) subunit of phosphorylase kinase. PP-2B, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase, specifically dephosphorylates the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase, but does not act on phosphorylase alpha. The heat-stable protein phosphatase inhibitor-2 from skeletal muscle completely blocks the activity of the two type 1 phosphatases (PP-1, FC), but has no effect on the three species of type 2 protein phosphatase. A preliminary assay of the two heat-stable phosphatase inhibitors in lysates indicates significant levels of inhibitor-2, but little or no detectable inhibitor-1. 相似文献

The protein phosphatases involved in cellular regulation. Identification of the inhibitor-2 phosphatases in rabbit skeletal muscle 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Inhibitor-2, purified by an improved procedure, was used to identify protein phosphatases capable of catalysing its dephosphorylation. The results showed that, under our experimental conditions, protein phosphatases-1, 2A and 2B were the only significant protein phosphatases in rabbit skeletal muscle extracts acting on this substrate. Protein phosphatases-1 and 2A accounted for all the inhibitor-2 phosphatase activity in the absence of Ca2+ (resting muscle), and the potential importance of these enzymes in vivo is discussed. Protein phosphatase-2B, a Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent enzyme, could account for up to 30% of the inhibitor-2 phosphatase activity in contracting muscle. The Km of protein phosphatase-1 for inhibitor-2 (40 nM) was 100-fold lower than the Km for phosphorylase a (4.8 microM). This finding, coupled with the failure of inhibitor-2 to inhibit its own dephosphorylation, suggests that inhibitor-2 is dephosphorylated at one of the two sites on protein phosphatase-1 involved in preventing the dephosphorylation of other substrates. The dephosphorylation of inhibitor-2 by protein phosphatase-1 was also unaffected by inhibitor-1, suggesting that the phosphorylation state of inhibitor-2 is unlikely to be controlled by cyclic AMP in vivo. 相似文献

The structure, role, and regulation of type 1 protein phosphatases. 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Type 1 protein phosphatases (PP-1) comprise a group of widely distributed enzymes that specifically dephosphorylate serine and threonine residues of certain phosphoproteins. They all contain an isoform of the same catalytic subunit, which has an extremely conserved primary structure. One of the properties of PP-1 that allows one to distinguish them from other serine/threonine protein phosphatases is their sensitivity to inhibition by two proteins, termed inhibitor 1 and inhibitor 2, or modulator. The latter protein can also form a 1:1 complex with the catalytic subunit that slowly inactivates upon incubation. This complex is reactivated in vitro by incubation with MgATP and protein kinase FA/GSK-3. In the cell the type 1 catalytic subunit is associated with noncatalytic subunits that determine the activity, the substrate specificity, and the subcellular location of the phosphatase. PP-1 plays an essential role in glycogen metabolism, calcium transport, muscle contraction, intracellular transport, protein synthesis, and cell division. The activity of PP-1 is regulated by hormones like insulin, glucagon, alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists, glucocorticoids, and thyroid hormones. 相似文献

Rat liver nuclei contain a protein phosphatase that is indistinguishable from the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-1 in its molecular mass, sensitivity to inhibitor-1 and inhibitor-2 and specificity for the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase. This activity is not bound to the outer nuclear membrane, but located within the nucleus. The average level of protein phosphatase-1 activity in nuclei is at least 5-fold higher than its average extranuclear concentration. 相似文献

Serine/threonine protein phosphatases are ubiquitous enzymes in all eukaryotes but many of their physiological roles in plants remain unknown. The available results have demonstrated critical functions for these enzymes in the regulation of adaptive stress responses, and recent studies have directed attention to the functional roles of Ser/Thr phosphatases type 2A (PP2A) as components of stress signaling pathways. This review is focused primarily on plant PP2As and their participation in the control of biotic and abiotic stress responses.Key words: protein phosphatases type 2A, PP2A, biotic stress, abiotic stress, signaling, okadaic acid 相似文献

Propionylcholine, a novel analogue of acetylcholine, was identified in green plants by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Propionylcholine was found in the leaves of the following species previously shown to contain acetylcholine and cholinesterase activity: Codiaeum variegatum Blume, Phaseolus aureus Roxb. cv. Berken, Plantago rugelli Decne., Populus grandidentata Michx., and Betula pendula Roth. The quantities of propionylcholine ranged from a high of 2.3 nmol (g fresh weight)−1 in C. variegatum to a low of 0.11 nmol (g fresh weight)−1 in P. rugelli . These amounts represented 6 to 8% of the levels of acetylcholine. In contrast to animal tissues which rarely synthesize propionylcholine, this compound was found in all species examined which represented five families of flowering plants. 相似文献

Several putative plasma-membrane-associated components of the T-lymphocyte signal-transduction pathway are phosphorylated during the initial events of cellular activation. Little is known about the control of dephosphorylation of these components. We have shown by immunoblotting that the type 1 phosphatase, the type 2A phosphatase and type 2B phosphatase (calcineurin) are associated with the plasma membrane of normal human T lymphoblasts and the human T leukaemic cell line Jurkat 6. The type 1 phosphorylase phosphatase activity is present in a latent form which can be stimulated synergistically by deinhibitor and p-nitrophenyl phosphate. The PCSH form of the type 2A phosphatase appears to be the predominant oligomer in the plasma-membrane fraction. All three phosphatases can be extracted from membranes with Nonidet P40, but whereas the type 1c and type 2Ac phosphatases separate into the detergent-poor phase of Triton X-114, calcineurin separates into both detergent-rich and -poor phases. It is probable that one or more of these three plasma-membrane-associated phosphatases play regulatory roles in determining the phosphorylation state of membrane-bound proteins involved in human T-cell activation. 相似文献

Identification of variables influencing resistin serum levels in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

BACKGROUND: Resistin, a peptide hormone, has been discussed controversially as a missing link between obesity and insulin resistance. In contrast to resistin mRNA expression in adipose tissue, data on human serum levels in obesity and diabetes mellitus is scarce. The physiological range of serum resistin levels, reference values or adjusted percentiles have not yet been determined, making the interpretation of serum resistin concentrations quite difficult. METHODS: Resistin serum concentrations were measured systematically by ELISA in 216 healthy controls, 555 patients with type 2 diabetes and 114 patients with type 1 diabetes. Mean values, median, and range were determined, and BMI-, gender-, and disease-adapted percentiles were calculated for all subgroups. RESULTS: Age and gender did not have any influence on resistin levels. BMI and resistin levels were positively correlated in healthy controls (p = 0.02), albeit with a weak correlation coefficient. This correlation was absent in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In both genders, healthy controls had significantly higher resistin levels than patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (7.9 +/- 0.2 ng/ml vs. 5.7 +/- 0.2 ng/ml and 5.5 +/- 0.1 ng/ml, respectively; p < 0.0001). There was no correlation between resistin levels and occurrence of diabetic retinopathy or nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS: Serum resistin levels can be measured by ELISA over a broad range from 0.6 ng/ml up to 27.7 ng/ml, suggesting that percentiles might be helpful in the interpretation of an individuals resistin value. While age and gender do not influence resistin levels, BMI and occurrence of diabetes have to be considered. 相似文献

Normal functioning of the brain is dependent upon a complex web of communication between numerous cell types. Within neuronal networks, the faithful transmission of information between neurons relies on an equally complex organization of inter- and intra-cellular signaling systems that act to modulate protein activity. In particular, post-translational modifications (PTMs) are responsible for regulating protein activity in response to neurochemical signaling. The key second messenger, cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP), regulates one of the most ubiquitous and influential PTMs, phosphorylation. While cAMP is canonically viewed as regulating the addition of phosphate groups through its activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinases, it plays an equally critical role in regulating removal of phosphate through indirect control of protein phosphatase activity. This dichotomy of regulation by cAMP places it as one of the key regulators of protein activity in response to neuronal signal transduction throughout the brain. In this review we focus on the role of cAMP in regulation of the serine/threonine phosphatases protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and the relevance of control of PP1 and PP2A to regulation of brain function and behavior. 相似文献

Type 1 serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PP1s) play key roles in many cellular processes. To understand the evolutionary relationships among PP1s from various kingdoms and to provide a valid basis to evaluate the structure-function relationships of these phosphatases, 44 PP1 sequences were aligned, revealing a high sequence similarity among PP1 homologs. About one-third of the total amino acids are conserved in all the sequences studied. Most of these conserved amino acids are located within a 270-amino-acid core region. They include most sites critical to the activity and regulation of PP1s based on three-dimensional structural studies of mammalian PP1s. Positional variation analysis using a sliding window approach revealed two variable blocks in the 270-amino-acid core region. The major variable block corresponds to a subdomain composed of three alpha-helices (alphaG, alphaH, and alphaI) and three beta-sheets (beta7, beta8, and beta9). Phylogenetic analyses suggested that plant and animal PP1s form distinct monophyletic groups. The plant PP1 family contains several subgroups that may be older than the monocot-dicot divergence. In the animal PP1 family, different vertebrate isoforms appear to form distinct subgroups. Relative substitution rate studies indicated that plant PP1s are more diverse than animal PP1s, with an average substitution rate 1.5 times as large as that of animal PP1s. The possible involvement of PP1s in the establishment of multicellularity is discussed. 相似文献
