DARPP-32 (dopamine- and cyclic AMP-regulated phosphoprotein, Mr = 32,000) is a major endogenous cytosolic substrate for dopamine- and cyclic AMP-stimulated protein phosphorylation in neurons of the basal ganglia of mammalian brain. It shares many properties with phosphatase inhibitor 1, a substrate for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and with G-substrate, a substrate for cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. We have, therefore, undertaken an analysis of the amino acid sequence around the site at which purified DARPP-32 is phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The results indicate that DARPP-32 is phosphorylated at a single threonine residue contained in the sequence Arg-Arg-Arg-Pro-Thr(P)-Pro-Ala-Met-Leu-Phe-Arg. This sequence was obtained by automated solid phase sequencing of two overlapping tryptic phosphopeptides and one overlapping chymotryptic phosphopeptide which were purified by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. A 9-amino acid sequence containing the phosphorylatable threonine residue in DARPP-32 shares 8 identical residues with a sequence containing the phosphorylatable threonine residue in phosphatase inhibitor 1, and shares 5 identical residues with the two identical sequences surrounding the 2 phosphorylatable threonine residues in G-substrate. These observations support the view that DARPP-32, inhibitor 1, and G-substrate are members of a family of regulatory proteins which are involved in the control of protein phosphatase activity by both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, but which differ in their cellular and tissue distributions.  相似文献

Mammalian brain phosphoproteins as substrates for calcineurin   总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16  
Calcineurin, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphoprotein phosphatase found in several tissues, is highly concentrated in mammalian brain. In an attempt to identify endogenous brain substrates for calcineurin, kinetic analyses of the dephosphorylation of several well-characterized phosphoproteins purified from brain were performed. The proteins studied were: G-substrate, a substrate for cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase; DARPP-32, a substrate for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase; Protein K.-F., a substrate for a cyclic nucleotide- and Ca2+-independent protein kinase; and synapsin I, a substrate for cyclic AMP-dependent (site I) and a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (site II). Calcineurin dephosphorylated each of these proteins in a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent manner. Similar Km values were obtained for each substrate: G-substrate, 3.8 microM; DARPP-32, 1.6 microM; Protein K.-F., approximately 3 microM (S0.5); synapsin I (site I), 7.0 microM; synapsin I (site II), 4.4 microM. However, significant differences were obtained for the maximal rates of dephosphorylation. The kcat values were: G-substrate, 0.41 s-1; DARPP-32, 0.20 s-1; Protein K.-F., 0.7 s-1; synapsin I (site I), 0.053 s-1; synapsin I (site II), 0.040 s-1. Comparisons of the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) for each substrate indicated that DARPP-32, G-substrate, and Protein K.-F. are all potential substrates for calcineurin in vivo.  相似文献

The substrate specificities of cyclic GMP-dependent and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases have been compared by kinetic analysis using synthetic peptides as substrates. Both enzymes catalyzed the transfer of phosphate from ATP to calf thymus histone H2B, as well as to two synthetic peptides, Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32-Arg-Lys-Glu and Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36-Tyr-Ser-Val, corresponding to the amino acid sequences around serine 32 and serine 36 in histone H2B. Serine 38 in the latter peptide was not phosphorylated by either enzyme. Cyclic GMP-dependent kinase and cyclic AMP-dependent kinase catalyzed the incorporation of 1.1 and 2.0 mol of phosphate/mol of histone H2B, respectively. The phosphorylation of histone H2B, respectively. The phosphorylation of histone H2B by cyclic GMP-dependent kinase showed two distinct optima as the magnesium concentration was increased. However, the phosphorylation of either synthetic peptide by this enzyme was depressed at high magnesium concentrations. As the pH of reaction mixtures was elevated from pH 6 to pH 9, the rate of phosphorylation of Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32-Arg-Lys-Glu by cyclic GMP-dependent kinase continually increased. Acetylation of the NH2 terminus of the peptide did not qualitatively affect this pH profile, but did increase the Vmax value of the enzyme 3-fold. The apparent Km and Vmax values for the phosphorylation of Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32-Arg-Lys-Glu by cyclic GMP-dependent kinase were 21 microM and 4.4 mumol/min/mg, respectively. The synthetic peptide Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36-Tyr-Ser-Val was a relatively poor substrate for cyclic GMP-dependent kinase, exhibiting a Km value of 732 microM, although the Vmax was 12 micromol/min/mg. With histone H2B as substrate for the cyclic GMP-dependent kinase, two different Km values were apparent. The Km values for cyclic AMP-dependent kinase for either synthetic peptide were approximately 100 microM, but the Vmax for Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32-Arg-Lys-Glu was 1.1 mumol/min/mg, while the Vmax for Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36-Tyr-Ser-Val was 16.5 mumol/min/mg. These data suggest that although the two cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases have similar substrate specificities, the determinants dictated by the primary sequence around the two phosphorylation sites in histone H2B are different for the two enzymes.  相似文献

The known amino acid sequences at the two sites on phosphorylase kinase that are phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase were extended. The sequences of 42 amino acids around the phosphorylation site on the alpha-subunit and of 14 amino acids around the phosphorylation site on the beta-subunit were shown to be: alpha-subunit Phe-Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser(P)-Ile-Ser-Thr-Glu-Ser-Glx-Pro-Asx-Gly-Gly-His-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ala-Asp-Leu-Met-Ser-Pro-Ser-Phe-Leu-Ser-Pro-Gly-Thr-Ser-Val-Phe(Ser,Pro,Gly)His-Thr-Ser-Lys; beta-subunit, Ala-Arg-Thr-Lys-Arg-Ser-Gly-Ser(P)-VALIle-Tyr-Glu-Pro-Leu-Lys. The sites on histone H2B which are phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in vitro were identified as serine-36 and serine-32. The amino acid sequence in this region is: Lys-Lys-Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32(P)-Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36(P)-Tyr-Ser-Val-Tyr-Val- [Iwai, K., Ishikawa, K. & Hayashi, H. (1970) Nature (London) 226, 1056-1058]. Serine-36 was phosphorylated at 50% of the rate at which the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase was phosphorylated, and it was phosphorylated 6-7-fold more rapidly than was serine-32. The amino acid sequences when compared with those at the phosphorylation sites of other physiological substrates suggest that the presence of two adjacent basic amino acids on the N-terminal side of the susceptible serine residue may be critical for specific substrate recognition in vivo.  相似文献

The peptide Arg-Lys-Arg-Ala-Arg-Lys-Glu was synthesized and tested as an inhibitor of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. This synthetic peptide is a non-phosphorylatable analogue of a substrate peptide corresponding to a phosphorylation site (serine-32) in histone H2B. The peptide was a competitive inhibitor of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase with respect to synthetic peptide substrates, with a Ki value of 86 microM. However, it did not inhibit phosphorylation of intact histones by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase under any conditions tested. Arg-Lys-Arg-Ala-Arg-Lys-Glu competitively inhibited the phosphorylation of either peptides or histones by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, with similar Ki values (550 microM) for both of these substrates. The peptide Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ala-Leu-Gly, which was previously reported to be a selective inhibitor of both peptide and histone phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, was a poor inhibitor of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase acting on peptide substrates (Ki = 800 microM), but did not inhibit phosphorylation of histones by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. The selectivity of these synthetic peptide inhibitors toward either cyclic GMP-dependent or cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases is probably based on differences in the determinants of substrate specificity recognized by these two enzymes. It is concluded that histones interact differently with cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase from the way they do with the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.  相似文献

In intact rat adipocytes hormone-sensitive lipase has been shown to be phosphorylated on serine residues in two different phosphorylation sites: a regulatory site phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and a basal site, which does not directly affect the enzyme activity, phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase(s) [(1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 81, 3317-3321]. Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase catalyzed the phosphorylation of the same two phosphorylation sites on the isolated enzyme, at serine residues. Both sites were phosphorylated at about the same rate, with the hormone-sensitive lipase activity concomitantly enhanced.  相似文献

Phosphorylation of eukaryotic ribosomal proteins in vitro by essentially homogeneous preparations of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase was compared. Each protein kinase was added at a concentration of 30nM. Ribosomal proteins were identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Almost identical results were obtained when ribosomal subunits from HeLa or ascites-tumour cells were used. About 50-60% of the total radioactive phosphate incorporated into small-subunit ribosomal proteins by either kinase was associated with protein S6. In 90 min between 0.7 and 1.0 mol of phosphate/mol of protein S6 was incorporated by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Of the other proteins, S3 and S7 from the small subunit and proteins L6, L18, L19 and L35 from the large subunit were predominantly phosphorylated by the cyclic AMP-dependent enzyme. Between 0.1 and 0.2 mol of phosphate was incorporated/mol of these phosphorylated proteins. With the exception of protein S7, the same proteins were also major substrates for the cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Time courses of the phosphorylation of individual proteins from the small and large ribosomal subunits in the presence of either protein kinase suggested four types of phosphorylation reactions: (1) proteins S2, S10 and L5 were preferably phosphorylated by the cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase; (2) proteins S3 and L6 were phosphorylated at very similar rates by either kinase; (3) proteins S7 and L29 were almost exclusively phosphorylated by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase; (4) protein S6 and most of the other proteins were phosphorylated about two or three times faster by the cyclic AMP-dependent than by the cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme.  相似文献

The heavy chain of the HLA-A2 antigen is phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase at two serine residues of the intracellular region. Limited proteolysis was performed on purified [32P]HLA-A2 antigens in order to define the sites of phosphorylation. Both of the phosphorylated serine residues are located in the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain; one is encoded by exon 5, while the other is encoded by exon 6. The phosphoserine encoded by exon 5 is part of the conserved sequence Arg-Arg-Lys-Ser-Ser. This protein sequence contains the proper arrangement of amino acids for recognition and phosphorylation by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. In the murine class I antigens (H-2), exon 5 encodes a similar sequence of basic residues followed by one intervening residue and a threonine rather than a serine residue in the last amino acid position. A composite figure is presented that compares the carboxyl-terminal sequences of human and murine class I antigens and illustrates the known sites of phosphorylation recognized by various kinases. Each site of phosphorylation in the carboxyl terminus is contained within a conserved protein sequence encoded by one of the three exons. A separation and preservation of unique sites of phosphorylation could explain why there is segmentation in the genomic arrangement of class I molecules.  相似文献

Isocitrate dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli is regulated by a reversible phosphorylation mechanism. We report here the amino acid sequence round the phosphorylation site; this is the first such sequence to be reported for a bacterial protein kinase. The sequence does not resemble sequences phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.  相似文献

Guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase) and adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase) exhibited a high degree of cyclic nucleotide specificity when hormone-sensitive triacylglycerol lipase, phosphorylase kinase, and cardiac troponin were used as substrates. The concentration of cyclic GMP required to activate half-maximally cyclic dependent protein kinase was 1000- to 100-fold less than that of cyclic AMP with these substrates. The opposite was true with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase where 1000- to 100-fold less cyclic AMP than cyclic GMP was required for half-maximal enzyme activation. This contrasts with the lower degree of cyclic nucleotide specificity of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase of 25-fold when histone H2b was used as a substrate for phosphorylation. Cyclic IMP resembled cyclic AMP in effectiveness in stimulating cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase but was intermediate between cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in stimulating cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The effect of cyclic IMP on cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase was confirmed in studies of autophosphorylation of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase where both cyclic AMP and cyclic IMP enhanced autophosphorylation. The high degree of cyclic nucleotide specificity observed suggests that cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP activate only their specific kinase and that crossover to the opposite kinase is unlikely to occur at reported cellular concentrations of cyclic nucleotides.  相似文献

A protein kinase activity was identified in pig brain that co-purified with microtubules through repeated cycles of temperature-dependent assembly and disassembly. The microtubule-associated protein kinase (MTAK) phosphorylated histone H1; this activity was not stimulated by cyclic nucleotides. Ca2+ plus calmodulin, phospholipids or polyamines. MTAK did not phosphorylate synthetic peptides which are substrates for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, protein kinase C or casein kinase II. MTAK activity was inhibited by trifluoperazine [IC50 (median inhibitory concn.) = 600 microM] in a Ca2+-independent fashion. Ca2+ alone was inhibitory [IC50 = 4 mM). MTAK was not inhibited by heparin, a potent inhibitor of casein kinase II, nor a synthetic peptide inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. MTAK demonstrated a broad pH maximum (7.5-8.5) and an apparent Km for ATP of 45 microM. Mg2+ was required for enzyme activity and could not be replaced by Mn2+. MTAK phosphorylated serine and threonine residues on histone H1. MTAK is a unique cofactor-independent protein kinase that binds to microtubule structures.  相似文献

Cloning of rat brain protein kinase C complementary DNA   总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12  
Four peptides derived from rat brain protein kinase C were partially sequenced. Using synthetic oligonucleotides deduced from the amino acid sequences as probes, a clone of complementary DNA (cDNA) was isolated from a cDNA library prepared from the same tissue. The nucleotide sequence of this cDNA clone revealed the primary structure of the carboxyl-terminal region as having 224 amino acids, with significant sequence homology with cyclic AMP-dependent and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases.  相似文献

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from rat liver was phosphorylated with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP. Brief exposure of the 32P-labeled enzyme to trypsin removed all radioactivity from the enzyme core and produced a single-labeled peptide. The partial sequence of the 17-amino acid peptide was found to be Ser-Arg-Pro-Ser(P)-Leu-Pro-Leu-Pro-(Ser2, Glx2, Pro2, Leu, Arg2). The kinetics of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of native fructose bisphosphatase were compared with those of rat liver type L pyruvate kinase where the sequence around the phosphoserine is known (Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser(P)-Val; Hjelmquist, G., Anderson, J., Edlund, B., and Engstrom, L. (1974) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 61, 559-563). The Km for pyruvate kinase (17 microM) was less than that for fructose bisphosphatase (58 microM); the Vmax was about 3-fold greater with pyruvate kinase as substrate. The relationship between the rates of phosphorylation of these native substrates and the amino acid sequences surrounding the phosphorylated sites is discussed.  相似文献

Glycogen synthase, the rate-limiting enzyme in glycogen biosynthesis, has been postulated to exist as isozymes in rabbit liver and muscle (Camici, M., Ahmad, Z., DePaoli-Roach, A. A., and Roach, P. J. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 2466-2473). Both isozymes share a number of properties including multiple phosphorylation of the enzyme subunit. In the present study, we determined the amino acid sequences surrounding phosphorylation sites in the rabbit liver isozyme recognized by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Two dominant phosphopeptides (P-1 and P-2) were generated from tryptic digestion. Amino acid sequences of the purified peptides were determined by automated Edman degradation using a gas-phase sequenator. The locations of phosphorylated residues were identified by measuring 32Pi release during Edman degradation cycles. The NH2-terminal sequence of peptide P-1 is S-L-S(P)-V-T-S-L-G-G-L-P-Q-W-E-V-E-E-L-P-V-D-D-L-L-L-P-E-V. This sequence exhibits a strong homology to the site 2 region in the NH2 terminus of the muscle isozyme. The NH2-terminal sequence of peptide P-2 is M-Y-P-R-P-S(P)-S(P)-V-P-P-S-P-L-G-S-Q-A. This sequence shows strong homology to the site 3 region in the COOH terminus of the muscle isozyme. However, some interesting sequence differences were revealed in this region. For example, substitution of serine for alanine at position 6 of peptide P-2 created a new phosphorylation site for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of the proline/serine-rich site 3 region correlated with inactivation of the liver isozyme and suggests an important role for this segment of the molecule in the regulation of glycogen synthase. No phosphorylation sites corresponding to sites 1a and 1b of the muscle isozyme were detected. In addition, the results provide definitive chemical proof that glycogen synthase from rabbit liver and muscle are isozymes encoded by distinct messages.  相似文献

Guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase) and adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase) exhibited a high degree of cyclic nucleotide specificity when hormone-sensitive triacylglycerol lipase, phosphorylase kinase, and cardiac troponin were used as substrates. The concentration of cyclic GMP required to activate half-maximally cyclic dependent protein kinase was 1000- to 100-folds less than that of cylic AMP with these substrates. The opposite was true with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase where 1000- to 100-fold less cyclic GMP was required for half-maximal enzyme activation. This contrasts with the lower degree of cyclic nucleotide specificity of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase of 25-fold when histone H2b was used as a substrate for phosphorylation. Cyclic IMP resembled cyclic AMP in effectiveness in stimulating cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase but was intermediate between cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in stimulating cyclic. AMP-dependent protein kinase. The effect of cyclic IMP on cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase was confirmed in studies of autophosphorylation of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase where both cyclic AMP and cyclic IMP enhanced autophophorylation. The high degree of cyclic nucleotide specificity observed suggests that cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP activate only their specific kinase and that crossover to the opposite kinase is unlikely to occur at reported cellular concentrations of cyclic nucleotides.  相似文献

The specificity of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was examined using two series of dodecapeptides as substrates. One series consisted of peptides of the general sequence (Gly)x-Arg-Arg-(Gly)y-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly in which x + y = 6. The other series consisted of peptides of the sequence (Gly)x-Lys-Arg-(Gly)y-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly in which x + y was again equal to 6. The peptides Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Arg-Arg-Ser-Leu-Gly and Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Lys-Arg-Ser-Leu-Gly were also examined. In the series in which the adjacent arginines were located various distances from the serine, the substrate for which the enzyme clearly exhibited optimal kinetic constants contained one amino acid residue between the basic residues and serine. Direct binding studies of N alpha-[3H]acetyl peptides to catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase revealed a correlation between binding affinity and the ability to serve as substrate for the enzyme. In the second series in which the adjacent basic amino acids were Lys-Arg, optimal kinetic constants were again obtained when these residues were separated from serine by a single amino acid. This latter result was surprising in view of phosphorylation site sequences in the known physiologically significant protein substrates for the kinase, since those containing Lys-Arg all contain two amino acids between these residues and serine.  相似文献

Phosphorylation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.   总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17  
Regulation of epithelial chloride flux, which is defective in patients with cystic fibrosis, may be mediated by phosphorylation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) or protein kinase C (PKC). Part of the R-domain of CFTR (termed CF-2) was expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli. CF-2 was phosphorylated on seryl residues by PKA, PKC, cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I (CaM kinase I). Direct amino acid sequencing and peptide mapping of CF-2 revealed that serines 660, 700, 737, and 813 as well as serine 768, serine 795, or both were phosphorylated by PKA and PKG, and serines 686 and 790 were phosphorylated by PKC. CFTR was phosphorylated in vitro by PKA, PKC, or PKG on the same sites that were phosphorylated in CF-2. Kinetic analysis of phosphorylation of CF-2 and of synthetic peptides confirmed that these sites were excellent substrates for PKA, PKC, or PKG. CFTR was immunoprecipitated from T84 cells labeled with 32Pi. Its phosphorylation was stimulated in response to agents that activated either PKA or PKC. Peptide mapping confirmed that CFTR was phosphorylated at several sites identified in vitro. Thus, regulation of CFTR is likely to occur through direct phosphorylation of the R-domain by protein kinases stimulated by different second messenger pathways.  相似文献

Histidine residues of zinc ligands in beta-lactamase II.   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3       下载免费PDF全文
On the basis of the chemical and structural features of the amino acid sequences in the vicinities of phosphorylatable hydroxyamino acid residues in several of the well-known protein substrates for skeletal-muscle cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, it is hypothesized that the phosphorylatable residue at position i and arginine residue at position i-3 of these protein substrates are located on a peptide turn on the hydrophilic protein surface. It is further hypothesized that there is an arginine-recognition site near the active centre on the protein kinase. This site is essential for the function of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, for, not only does it recognize specifically the exposed arginine residue of the protein substrate, but, more importantly, via the interaction with arginine-(i--3), it may help to steer the topologically adjacent serine-i into proper orientation on the nearby active centre for phosphorylation. Model-building and kinetic data that provide support for the proposed hypotheses are presented.  相似文献

Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase was purified from foetal calf hearts, and its general properties and subunit structure were studied. The enzyme was purified over 900-fold from the heart extract by pH 5.3-isoelectric precipitation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex G-200 filtration and hydroxyapatite treatment. The purified myocardial enzyme, free from cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase contamination, exhibited an absolute requirement of stimulatory modulator (or crude modulator containing the stimulatory modulator component) for its cyclic GMP-stimulated activity. Inhibitory modulator (protein inhibitor) of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase could not stimulate nor inhibit the cyclic GMP target enzyme. The enzyme had Ka values of 0.013, 0.033 and 3.0 micronM for 8-bromo cyclic GMP, cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP respectively. The cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme required Mg2+ and Co2+ for its activity, with optimal concentrations of about 30 and 0.5 mM respectively. The pH optimum for the enzyme activity ranged from 6 to 9. Histones were generally effective substrate proteins. The enzyme exhibited a greater affinity for histones than did the cyclic AMP-dependent class of protein kinase. The holoenzyme (apparent mol.wt. 150 000) of the myocardial cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase was dissociated into a cyclic GMP-independent catalytic subunit (apparent mol.wt. 60 000) by cyclic GMP and histone. The catalytic subunit required the stimulatory modulator for its activity, as in the case of the holoenzyme in the presence of cyclic GMP.  相似文献

Possible involvement of cyclic GMP-dependent and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases, protein kinase modulators and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in functions of vascular tissues were investigated in the dog. All of the above activities, localized in the smooth muscle-rich inner layer of the blood vessels, were found to be higher in the arteries than in the veins. The peripheral arteries were disproportionately richer in cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (as indicated by high ratios of cyclic GMP-dependent to cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase) than were the veins, with the exception of the pulmonary artery, an atypical arterial tissue exposed to low blood pressure. Interestingly, the protein kinase ratio for the aorta, an artery with no significant role in blood pressure regulation, was not higher than that for the vena cava. Creation of femoral arteriovenous fistulae in the dogs led to preferential reductions in the cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme activity both in the proximal and distal arteries, whereas it was elevated in the stressed vein distal to the anastomotic site. The cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme was preferentially reduced in the saphenous artery distal to occlusion. Changes in the cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme activity appeared to precede gross atrophy or hypertrophy of the vessels. It is suggested that the vascular cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase may be closely related to peripheral resistance and its regulation.  相似文献
