The interaction between the inhibitor protein and the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase has been investigated by steady state kinetics and by an assessment of the requirement of this interaction for ATP. By analysis for tightly bound inhibitors, inhibition by the inhibitor protein was shown to be competitive versus peptide substrate and uncompetitive versus Mg X ATP2-. This, together with the observations of Gronot et al. (Gronot, J., Mildvan, A.S., Bramson, H. N., Thomas, N., and Kaiser, E.T. (1981) Biochemistry 20, 602-610) and those given in the accompanying paper (Whitehouse, S., Feramisco, J.R., Casnellie, J.E., Krebs, E.G., and Walsh, D.A. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 3693-3701), would indicate that the probable reaction mechanism of the protein kinase is ordered with the nucleotide binding first and that the inhibitor protein blocks catalysis by interaction with the catalytic subunit-Mg X ATP complex. The Ki for this interaction at saturating Mg X ATP and zero peptide substrate is 0.49 nM. Multiple inhibition analysis in the presence of 5'-adenylimidodiphosphate (AMP X PNP) indicates that the inhibitor protein does not interact with a catalytic subunit-AMP X PNP complex. The requirement for ATP for the inhibitor protein-catalytic subunit interaction has also been demonstrated by direct binding measurements and by the observation that the efficiency of the inhibitor protein is increased by preincubation of the inhibitor protein, catalytic subunit, and ATP in the absence of peptide substrate. By either measurement, the catalytic subunit in the presence of the inhibitor protein, was shown to exhibit an apparent Kd of 20 approximately 60 nM for ATP; this value is two orders of magnitude higher than the affinity for ATP by the catalytic subunit alone. This high apparent affinity of the catalytic subunit for ATP (in the presence of the inhibitor) does not require that there be a specific binding site on the inhibitor protein for some moiety of the ATP but may simply be a reflection of the formation of a catalytic subunit-Mg X ATP X inhibitor protein complex with resultant displacement of the equilibrium of ATP binding to the protein kinase.  相似文献

The high-affinity binding site for ATP of the holoenzyme of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (type I) from rabbit skeletal muscle has been investigated. Binding affinity of a series of ATP derivatives substituted at different sites in the molecule was determined by competition with tritiated ATP. The results were compared with data available from cAMP derivatives with the same substituents, in order to analyse the electronic and steric features of these two sites on the protein kinase. The comparison revealed significant differences of the effect of substituents towards the two sites. In particular the N6-derivatives of ATP and substituents affecting the gamma-phosphate indicate that the high-affinity ATP site of the protein kinase has similar properties as those found for phosphotransferase sites. The present results are consistent with the supposition that the high-affinity site for ATP on the holoenzyme is congruent with the phosphotransferase site of the catalytic subunit. Upon combination of catalytic and regulatory subunits this site would be transformed into a high-affinity site for ATP with simultaneous blocking of the phosphotransferase activity.  相似文献

Magnetic resonance and kinetic studies of the catalytic subunit of a Type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine heart have established the active complex to be an enzyme-ATP-metal bridge. The metal ion is β,γ coordinated with Δ chirality at the β-phosphorous atom. The binding of a second metal ion at the active site which bridges the enzyme to the three phosphoryl groups of ATP, partially inhibits the reaction. Binding of the metal-ATP substrate to the enzyme occurs in a diffusion-controlled reaction followed by a 40 ° change in the glycosidic torsional angle. This conformational change results from strong interaction of the nucleotide base with the enzyme. NMR studies of four ATP-utilizing enzymes show a correlation between such conformational changes and high nucleotide base specificity. Heptapeptide substrates and substrate analogs bind to the active site of the catalytic subunit at a rate significantly lower than collision frequency indicating conformational selection by the enzyme or a subsequent slow conformational change. NMR studies of the conformation of the enzyme-bound peptide substrates have ruled out α-helical and β-pleated sheet structures. The results of kinetic studies of peptide substrates in which the amino acid sequence was systematically varied were used to rule out the obligatory requirement for all possible β-turn conformations within the heptapeptide although an enzymatic preference for a β2–5 or β3–6 turn could not be excluded. Hence if protein kinase has an absolute requirement for a specific secondary structure, then this structure must be a coil. In the enzyme-substrate complex the distance along the reaction coordinate between the γ-P of ATP and the serine oxygen of the peptide substrate (5.3 ± 0.7 Å) allows room for a metaphosphate intermediate. This finding together with kinetic observations as well as the location of the inhibitory metal suggest a dissociative mechanism for protein kinase, although a mechanism with some associative character remains possible. Regulation of protein kinase is accomplished by competition between the regulatory subunit and peptide or protein substrates at the active site of the catalytic subunit. Thus, the regulatory subunit is found by NMR to block the binding of the peptide substrate to the active site of protein kinase but allows the binding of the nucleotide substrate and divalent cations. The dissociation constant of the regulatory subunit from the active site (10?10m) is increased ~10-fold by phosphorylation and ~104-fold by the binding of cAMP, to a value (10?5m) which exceeds the intracellular concentration of the R2C2 holoenzyme complex (10?6m). The resulting dissociation of the holoenzyme releases the catalytic subunit, permitting the active site binding of peptide or protein substrates.  相似文献

Smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase is phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C purified from human platelets. When myosin light chain kinase which has calmodulin bound is phosphorylated by protein kinase C, 0.8-1.1 mol of phosphate is incorporated per mol of myosin light chain kinase with no effect on its enzyme activity. Phosphorylation of myosin light chain kinase with no calmodulin bound results in the incorporation of 2-2.4 mol of phosphate and significantly decreases the rate of myosin light chain kinase activity. The decrease in myosin light chain kinase activity is due to a 3.3-fold increase in the concentration of calmodulin necessary for the half-maximal activation of myosin light chain kinase. The sites phosphorylated by protein kinase C and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase were compared by two-dimensional peptide mapping following extensive tryptic digestion of phosphorylated myosin light chain kinase. The single site phosphorylated by protein kinase C when calmodulin is bound to myosin light chain kinase (site 3) is different from that phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (site 1). The additional site that is phosphorylated by protein kinase C when calmodulin is not bound appears to be the same site phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (site 2). These studies confirm the important role of site 2 in binding calmodulin to myosin light chain kinase. Sequential studies using both protein kinase C and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase suggest that the phosphorylation of site 1 also plays a part in decreasing the affinity of myosin light chain kinase for calmodulin.  相似文献

The ATP substrate site of a second messenger-independent protein kinase of the type NII from porcine liver nuclei was mapped using a series of 30 ATP derivatives with modifications at the base, ribose or triphosphate moiety. Ki values for these derivatives were determined by competition with [gamma-32P]ATP; they range from 4 microM to 1.5 mM. For a comparison with data previously reported for the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase I from rabbit skeletal muscle, the Ki values were transformed into delta delta values. These values are related to the Ki value of unsubstituted ATP and indicate the decrease of affinity caused by the different substitutions. With both enzymes the major binding affinity is derived from the interaction of the adenine base. The contributions of the two ribosyl OH groups are marginal and the triphosphate moiety interacts most strongly with its beta-phosphoryl group. Between the two enzymes the most striking differences, however, were observed for the specificity of the nucleobase interaction. While an unmodified N-6 amino group is required in the case of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the nuclear enzyme seems to tolerate extensive modification at this position, such as the introduction of a keto group or a bulky benzyl residue. Obviously, the ATP site of the nuclear kinase has an open cleft next to the N-6 of the adenine and binding of the adenine occurs by hydrophobic interaction without the formation of hydrogen bonds to any of the adenine nitrogens.  相似文献

Intact S49 mouse lymphoma cells were used as a model system to study the effects of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and its analogs on the phosphorylation of regulatory (R) subunit of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of R subunit was negligible in mutants deficient in adenylate cyclase; low levels of cAMP analogs, however, stimulated R subunit phosphorylation in these cells to rates comparable to those in wild-type cells. In both wild-type and adenylate cyclase-deficient cells, R subunit phosphorylation was inhibited by a variety of N6-substituted derivatives of cAMP; C-8-substituted derivatives were generally poor inhibitors. Two derivatives that were inactive as kinase activators (N6-carbamoylmethyl-5'-AMP and 2'-deoxy-N6-monobutyryl-cAMP) were also ineffective as inhibitors of R subunit phosphorylation. Preferential inhibition by N6-modified cAMP analogs could not be ascribed simply to selectivity for the more aminoterminal (site I) of the two cAMP-binding sites in R subunit: Analog concentrations required for inhibition of R subunit phosphorylation were always higher than those required for activation of endogenous kinase; 8-piperidino-cAMP, a C-8-substituted derivative that is selective for cAMP-binding site I, was relatively ineffective as in inhibitor; and, although thresholds for activation of endogenous kinase by site I-selective analogs could be reduced markedly by coincubation with low levels of site II-selective analogs, no such synergism was observed for the inhibitory effect. The uncoupling of cyclic nucleotide effects on R subunit phosphorylation from activation of endogenous protein kinase suggests that, in intact cells, activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase requires more than one and fewer than four molecules of cyclic nucleotide.  相似文献

A method for the preparation of a homogenous catalytic subunit of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase from pigeon breast muscle was developed. The molecular weight of the enzyme as determined by electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate was found to be 42000. The pH optimum of the catalytic subunit was around 8.0. The active site of the catalytic subunit was studied using some derivatives of ATP, containing different reactive groups in the triphosphate chain of the molecule. It may be assumed that the pH optimum of the enzyme inactivation by adenosine 5'-chloromethylpyrophosphonate and the protective effect of ATP suggest covalent binding of the imidazole ring in the enzyme active site. The kinetic mechanism of the protein kinase reaction was studied using the initial rate experiments and reaction product inhibition. The results obtained were consistent with a random Bi-Bi kinetic mechanism.  相似文献

The cyr2 mutant of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, required cAMP for growth at 35 degrees C. The cyr2 mutation was suppressed by the bcy1 mutation which resulted in deficiency of the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The DEAE-Sephacel elution profile of cyr2 cAMP-dependent protein kinase was markedly different from that observed for the wild-type enzyme. With histone as substrate, the cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity of cyr2 cells showed 100-fold greater Ka value for activation by cAMP at 35 degrees C than that of the wild-type cells, while the Kd value for cAMP of the mutant enzyme was not altered. The electrophoretic character, molecular weight, and pI value of the regulatory subunit of the mutant enzyme were the same as those of the wild-type enzyme. When histone, trehalase, and glutamate dehydrogenase were used as substrate, the free catalytic subunit of the mutant enzyme showed a markedly decreased affinity for ATP and was more thermolabile compared to that of the wild-type enzyme. The results indicated that the cyr2 phenotype was produced by a structural mutation in the cyr2 gene coding for the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in yeast.  相似文献

Glycogen synthase I, purified from bovine heart, had a specific activity of 33 units/mg and gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis with a subunit molecular weight of 86,000. The enzyme was phosphorylated with cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, also isolated from heart. With 10 microM ATP, only one phosphate group was incorporated per subunit of glycogen synthase. The phosphorylation decreased the per cent of glycogen synthase I from 0.95 to 0.50 when activity was determined by assays with Na2SO4 and glucose 6-phosphate. Glycogen synthase containing one phosphate per subunit was designated GS-1. One additional phosphate was incorporated per synthase subunit when ATP was increased to 0.5 mM and the percent glycogen synthase I decreased from 0.50 to < 0.05. This enzyme form was designated GS-1,2. Conversion of GS-1 to Gs-1,2 gave cooperative kinetics with ATP concentration and a half-maximal stimulation at approximately 40 microM. Phosphorylation of GS-1 could also be achieved by adding other non-substrate nucleotide triphosphates such as ITP and UTP along with 10 microM ATP. Glucose-6-P and Na2SO4 were without effect on this phosphorylation reaction. Two separate peptides were obtained after CNBr cleavage of 32P-labeled GS-1,2 and only one from GS-1. Both enzyme forms contained a single phosphorylated peptide in common. Thus, heart glycogen synthase may be phosphorylated specifically in either of two different sites using appropriate concentrations of ATP. ATP acts as a substrate for the protein kinase and also affects the availability of a second site to phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase.  相似文献

Limited trypsin digestion of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme results in a proteolytic-resistant Delta(1-72) regulatory subunit core, indicating that interaction between the regulatory and catalytic subunits extends beyond the autoinhibitory site in the R subunit at the NH(2) terminus. Sequence alignment of the two R subunit isoforms, RI and RII, reveals a significantly sequence diversity at this specific region. To determine whether this sequence diversity is functionally important for interaction with the catalytic subunit, specific mutations, R133A and D328A, are introduced into sites adjacent to the active site cleft in the catalytic subunit. While replacing Arg(133) with Ala decreases binding affinity for RII, interaction between the catalytic subunit and RI is not affected. In contrast, mutant C(D328A) showed a decrease in affinity for binding RI while maintaining similar affinities for RII as compared with the wild-type catalytic subunit. These results suggest that sequence immediately NH(2)-terminal to the consensus inhibition site in RI and RII interacts with different sites at the proximal region of the active site cleft in the catalytic subunit. These isoform-specific differences would dictate a significantly different domain organization in the type I and type II holoenzymes.  相似文献

In order to understand better the structural and functional relations between protein kinase CK2 catalytic subunit, the triphosphate moiety of ATP, the catalytic metal and the peptidic substrate, we built a structural model of Yarrowia lipolytica protein kinase CK2 catalytic subunit using the recently solved three-dimensional structure of the maize enzyme and the structure of cAMP-dependent protein kinase peptidic inhibitor (1CDK) as templates. The overall structure of the catalytic subunit is close to the structure solved by Niefind et al. It comprises two lobes, which move relative to each other. The peptide used as substrate is tightly bound to the enzyme, at specific locations. Molecular dynamic calculations in combination with the study of the structural model led us to identify amino acid residues close to the triphosphate moiety of ATP and a residue sufficiently far from the peptide that could be mutated so as to modify the specificity of the enzyme. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to replace by charged residues both glycine-48, a residue located within the glycine-rich loop, involved in binding of ATP phosphate moiety, and glycine-177, a residue close to the active site. Kinetic properties of purified wild-type and mutated subunits were studied with respect to ATP, MgCl(2) and protein kinase CK2 specific peptide substrates. The catalytic efficiency of the G48D mutant increased by factors of 4 for ATP and 17.5 for the RRRADDSDDDDD peptide. The mutant G48K had a low activity with ATP and no detectable activity with peptide substrates and was also inhibited by magnesium. An increased velocity of ADP release by G48D and the building of an electrostatic barrier between ATP and the peptidic substrate in G48K could explain these results. The kinetic properties of the mutant G177K with ATP were not affected, but the catalytic efficiency for the RRRADDSDDDDD substrate increased sixfold. Lysine 177 could interact with the lysine-rich cluster involved in the specificity of protein kinase CK2 towards acidic substrate, thereby increasing its activity.  相似文献

Affinities of the catalytic subunit (C1) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cAMP-dependent protein kinase and of mammalian cGMP-dependent protein kinase were determined for the protein kinase inhibitor (PKI) peptide PKI(6-22)amide and seven analogues. These analogues contained structural alterations in the N-terminal alpha-helix, the C-terminal pseudosubstrate portion, or the central connecting region of the PKI peptide. In all cases, the PKI peptides were appreciably less active as inhibitors of yeast C1 than of mammalian C alpha subunit. Ki values ranged from 5- to 290-fold higher for the yeast enzyme than for its mammalian counterpart. Consistent with these results, yeast C1 exhibited a higher Km for the peptide substrate Kemptide. All of the PKI peptides were even less active against the mammalian cGMP-dependent protein kinase than toward yeast cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and Kemptide was a poorer substrate for the former enzyme. Alignment of amino acid sequences of these homologous protein kinases around residues in the active site of mammalian C alpha subunit known to interact with determinants in the PKI peptide [Knighton, D. R., Zheng, J., Ten Eyck, L. F., Xuong, N-h, Taylor, S. S., & Sowadski, J. M. (1991) Science 253, 414-420] provides a structural basis for the inherently lower affinities of yeast C1 and cGMP-dependent protein kinase for binding peptide inhibitors and substrates. Both yeast cAMP-dependent and mammalian cGMP-dependent protein kinases are missing two of the three acidic residues that interact with arginine-18 in the pseudosubstrate portion of PKI. Further, the cGMP-dependent protein kinase appears to completely lack the hydrophobic/aromatic pocket that recognizes the important phenylalanine-10 residue in the N-terminus of the PKI peptide, and binding of the inhibitor by the yeast protein kinase at this site appears to be partially compromised.  相似文献

A set of 24 ATP analogs modified at various positions of the ATP molecule was used for mapping the ATP-binding site in the free catalytic subunit (C) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (type I). Ki values for these analogs (of which 23 were shown to be competitive with ATP) were measured and compared with Ki values previously obtained for the same set of analogs upon binding to the undissociated form of the enzyme (R2C2). It was found that modifications at the adenine part of ATP bring about a considerable reduction in affinity between C and the resulting analog. The other parts of the ATP molecule play a less important, though definite, role in the binding of this nucleotide to C. By measuring the effect of each given modification in ATP on its binding to C, and comparing the effect of this modification on the binding of the same analog to R2C2, it was possible to obtain 'specificity profiles' for both forms of the kinase. Using such profiles it is shown that the adenine-binding subsite in C may well coincide with the adenine-binding subsite in R2C2. Two plausible models describing the spatial relationship between the ATP sites in C and R2C2 are proposed.  相似文献

Protein kinase C negatively modulated by phorbol ester   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Pretreatment of protein kinase C with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and phospholipid resulted in complete inhibition of ATP/phosphotransferase activity, irreversibly. The inactivation by TPA required the phospholipid, and TPA alone did not cause inactivation. Ca2+ and diacylglycerol mimicked TPA. This action of TPA was not general for all protein kinases as it did not accelerate the inactivation of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase by phospholipid. The addition of MgATP to the reaction mixture completely protected protein kinase C from being inactivated by TPA, in the presence of phospholipid. The nucleotide-binding site of the enzyme was probably influenced by the binding of TPA and phospholipid.  相似文献

A mechanism of activation of the ATP.Mg-dependent protein phosphatase (FC.M) has been proposed (Jurgensen, S., Shacter, E., Huang, C. Y., Chock, P. B., Yang, S.-D., Vandenheede, J. R., and Merlevede, W. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 5864-5870) in which a transient phosphorylation by the kinase FA of the modulator subunit (M) is the driving force for the transition of the inactive catalytic subunit (FC) into its active conformation. Incubation of FC.M with kinase FA and Mg2+ and adenosine 5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate results in thiophosphorylation of M and also a conformational change in the phosphatase catalytic subunit; however, the enzyme remains inactive. Proteolysis of this inactive, thiophosphorylated complex causes proteolytic destruction of the modulator subunit and yields an active phosphorylase phosphatase species. Similar treatment of the native inactive enzyme does not yield active phosphatase. Evidence is presented, suggesting that a molecule of modulator is bound at an "inhibitory site" on the native enzyme. This modulator does not prevent the conformational change in the phosphatase catalytic subunit upon incubation with kinase FA and ATP.Mg but does partially inhibit the expression of the phosphorylase phosphatase activity.  相似文献

The reaction of the phosphate residue transfer catalysed by histone kinase dependent on adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) was studied. The phosphotransferase reaction was shown to obey the mechanism of ping-pong bi-bi type. After incubation of the catalytic subunit of histone kinase with [gamma-32P]ATP the incorporation of one mole of [32P]phosphage per mole of protein was observed. The tryptic [32P]phosphohistidine-containing peptide was isolated and its N-terminus and amino acid composition were determined. The 2',3'-dialdehyde derivative of ATP (oATP) was used as the affinity label for the catalytic subunit of cyclic-AMP-dependent histone kinase. The inhibitor formed an alidmine bond with epsilon-amino group of the lysine residue of the active site and was irreversibly bound to the enzyme after reduction by sodium borohydride with concurrent irreversible inactivation of the enzyme. After inactivation, about one mole of 14C-labelled inhibitor was incorporated per mole of the enzyme. ATP effectively protected the catalytic subunit of histone kinase against inactivation by oATP. Tryptic digestion of the enzyme-inhibitor complex led to the isolation of the 14C-labelled peptide of the active site of histone kinase. Basing on these results, the role of histidine and lysine residues in the active site of the catalytic subunit of histone kinase was suggested.  相似文献

It has been proposed that the active centre of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase contains an arginine-recognition site, which is considered to be essential for the function of the catalytic subunit of the kinase [Matsuo, Huang & Huang (1978) Biochem. J.173, 441-447]. The catalytic subunit can be inactivated by 3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-1-ethylcarbodi-imide and glycine ethyl ester at pH6.5. The enzyme can be protected from inactivation by preincubation with histone, a protein substrate of the enzyme. On the other hand, ATP, which also serves as a protein kinase substrate, does not afford protection. Polyarginine, a competitive inhibitor of protein kinase, which is known from kinetic studies to interact specifically with the arginine-recognition site, partially protects the catalytic subunit from inactivation by 3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-1-ethylcarbodi-imide. These results lead to the conclusion that the site of modification by carbodi-imide/glycine ethyl ester is most likely located at the arginine-recognition site of the active centre. A value of 1.7+/-0.2 (mean+/-s.d.) mol of carboxy groups per mol of catalytic subunit has been obtained for the number of essential carboxy groups for the function of protein kinase; a complete chemical modification of these essential carboxy groups results in total loss of catalytic activity. Finally, we have identified the essential carboxy group in the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase as being derived from glutamate residues. This is achieved by a three-step procedure involving an extensive proteolytic digestion of the [1-(14)C]glycine ethyl ester-modified enzyme and two successive high-voltage electrophoreses of the hydrolysate. It is concluded that 1.7mol of glutamyl carboxy groups per mol of catalytic subunit may be considered a component of the arginine-recognition site in the active centre of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.  相似文献

The purified catalytic subunit (C) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase produced a 2-fold activation of the low Km phosphodiesterase in crude microsomes (P-2 pellet) of rat adipocytes. This activation was C subunit concentration-dependent, ATP-dependent, blocked by a specific peptide inhibitor, and lost if the C subunit was first heat denatured. The concentration of ATP necessary for half-maximal activation of the low Km phosphodiesterase was 4.50 +/- 1.1 microM, which was nearly the same as the known Km of C subunit for ATP (3.1 microM) using other substrates. The concentration of C subunit producing half-maximal activation of phosphodiesterase was 0.22 +/- 0.04 microM, slightly less than the measured concentration of total C subunit in adipocytes (0.45 microM). The activation of the low Km phosphodiesterase by C subunit was specific, since on an equimolar basis, myosin light chain kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II did not activate the enzyme. The percent stimulation of phosphodiesterase by C subunit was about the same as that produced by incubation of adipocytes with a cAMP analog, and the enzyme first activated in vivo with the analog was not activated to the same extent (on a percentage basis) by in vitro treatment with C subunit. Treatment of the crude microsomes with trypsin resulted in transfer of phosphodiesterase catalytic activity from the particulate to the supernatant fraction, but the enzyme in the supernatant was minimally activated by C subunit, suggesting either loss or dislocation of the regulatory component. The C subunit-mediated activation of phosphodiesterase was preserved after either transfer of phosphodiesterase activity to the supernatant fraction by nonionic detergents or partial purification of the transferred enzyme. The present findings are consistent with the suggestion that protein kinase regulates the concentration of cAMP through phosphodiesterase activation and provide direct evidence that the mechanism of activation involves phosphorylation.  相似文献

PKI(6-22)amide is a 17 residue peptide corresponding to the active portion of the heat-stable inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The peptide is a potent (Ki = 1.6 nM), competitive inhibitor of the enzyme. The photoreactive peptide analog (4-azidophenylalanine10)PKI(6-22)amide was synthesized in both its non-radiolabeled and tritiated forms by chemical modification of precursor peptides that were prepared by stepwise solid-phase synthesis. (4-Amino[3,5-3H]phenylalanine10)PKI(6-22)amide, the precursor for the radiolabeled arylazide peptide, was obtained by catalytic reduction of the corresponding peptide containing the 3,5-diiodo-4-aminophenylalanine residue at position 10. The purified PKI peptides were analyzed by HPLC, amino acid analysis, and u.v. spectra. In the dark, (4-azidophenylalanine10)PKI(6-22)amide inhibited the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase with a Ki value of 2.8 nM. The photoreactivity of the arylazide peptide was demonstrated by time-dependent u.v. spectral changes on exposure to light. Photolysis of the catalytic subunit (4-azido[3,5-3H]phenylalanine10)PKI(6-22)amide complex resulted in specific covalent labeling of the enzyme. The data indicate that this peptide is a useful photoaffinity labeling reagent for the active site of the protein kinase.  相似文献

CAMP-dependent protein kinase: prototype for a family of enzymes   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Protein kinases represent a diverse family of enzymes that play critical roles in regulation. The simplest and best-understood biochemically is the catalytic (C) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which can serve as a framework for the entire family. The amino-terminal portion of the C subunit constitutes a nucleotide binding site based on affinity labeling, labeling of lysines, and a conserved triad of glycines. The region beyond this nucleotide fold also contains essential residues. Modification of Asp 184 with a hydrophobic carbodiimide leads to inactivation, and this residue may function as a general base in catalysis. Despite the diversity of the kinase family, all share a homologous catalytic core, and the residues essential for nucleotide binding or catalysis in the C subunit are invariant in every protein kinase. Affinity labeling and intersubunit cross-linking have localized a portion of the peptide binding site, and this region is variable in the kinase family. The crystal structure of the C subunit also is being solved. The C subunit is maintained in its inactive state by forming a holoenzyme complex with an inhibitory regulatory (R) subunit. This R subunit has a well-defined domain structure that includes two tandem cAMP binding domains at the carboxy-terminus, each of which is homologous to the catabolite gene activator protein in Escherichia coli. Affinity labeling with 8N3 cAMP has identified residues that are in close proximity to the cAMP binding sites and is consistent with models of the cAMP binding sites based on the coordinates of the CAP crystal structure. An expression vector was constructed for the RI subunit and several mutations have been introduced. These mutations address 1) the major site of photoaffinity labeling, 2) a conserved arginine in the cAMP binding site, and 3) the consequences of deleting the entire second cAMP binding domain.  相似文献
