An insulin-stimulated ribosomal protein S6 kinase from rabbit liver   总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14  
In this report we describe an activated form of S6 protein kinase in rabbits treated acutely with insulin. The major insulin-stimulated activity in rabbit liver is increased 2- to 5-fold compared to material from untreated animals based on DEAE-cellulose profiles. The activity observed in DEAE-cellulose fractions can be separated into a major and a minor peak, each having very similar chromatographic behavior. Chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, S-Sepharose, heptyl-Sepharose, heparin-agarose, and Mono Q results in greater than 20,000-fold purification of the insulin-stimulated enzyme with a 12% recovery. The stimulated activity has chromatographic properties similar to an S6 protein kinase studied previously in 3T3-L1 cells (Cobb, M. H. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 12994-12999) and other systems. The enzyme purified from insulin-treated animals contains a major band that migrates in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with Mr congruent to 70,000; this band also appears in the control preparation. Treatment of the insulin-stimulated S6 kinase with the catalytic subunit of phosphatase 2a reduces its activity by 97%. The activity of the inactivated S6 kinase is stimulated nearly 5-fold by a 15-min preincubation with partially purified insulin-stimulated microtubule-associated protein-2 kinase.  相似文献

In rat 1 fibroblasts, insulin has little or no stimulatory effect on the activities of either MAP2 protein kinase or ribosomal protein S6 kinase. In contrast, in rat 1 cells that overexpress the normal human insulin receptor (rat 1 HIRc B; McClain et al. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 14663-14671), insulin activates both MAP2 and S6 kinase activities close to 5-fold. A MAP2 kinase has been purified from insulin-treated rat 1 HIRc B cells over 6300-fold by chromatography on Q-Sepharose, phenyl-Sepharose, S-Sepharose, phosphocellulose, QAE-Sepharose, UltrogelAcA54, DEAE-cellulose, and a second Q-Sepharose. Its specific activity is approximately 0.8-1 mumol.min-1.mg-1 with MAP2 and 3 mumol.min-1.mg-1 with myelin basic protein. The enzyme preparation contains one major band of Mr = 43,000 upon SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which is immunoblotted by antibodies to phosphotyrosine. A sequence from the 43-kDa band led to the isolation of a cDNA encoding the enzyme, which we have named ERK1 for extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Boulton et al. (1990) Science 249, 64-67).  相似文献

A cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase, protease-activated kinase II, which incorporates up to four phosphates into 40 S ribosomal protein S6, has been purified from the postribosomal supernatant of rabbit reticulocytes. Protease-activated kinase II was purified as an inactive proenzyme by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose, Sephadex G-150, and hydroxylapatite. The enzyme was activated in vitro by limited digestion with trypsin or chymotrypsin. No other mode of activation for protease-activated kinase II in vitro was identified. The proenzyme had a molecular weight of 80,000 as measured by gel filtration; following tryptic digestion, the molecular weight of the activated protein kinase was 45,000-55,000. Protease-activated kinase II required Mg2+ for activity but was inhibited by other divalent cations, monovalent cations, and fluoride ion. ATP was the phosphoryl donor in the phosphorylation reaction; GTP had no effect. In vitro, multiple phosphorylation of S6 was observed with some phosphate incorporated into S10. Phosphorylation of S6 by protease-activated kinase II has been shown to be stimulated in serum-starved 3T3-L1 cells by insulin (Perisic, O., and Traugh, J. A. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 9589-9592) and in reticulocytes by altering the pH of the incubation medium (Perisic, O., and Traugh, J. A. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 13998-14002.  相似文献

Treatment of isolated rat hepatocytes with 10-100 nM insulin for 5-10 min increased by about 2-fold the activity of a protamine kinase which exhibited properties similar to those of a protamine kinase from bovine kidney (Damuni, Z., Amick, G. D., and Sneed, T. R. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 6412-6416). Half-maximal increase in protamine kinase activity occurred at about 1 nM insulin. This effect of insulin was detected only when 25 mM NaF or 50 mM KPO4 were included in the homogenization buffers and was not prevented by preincubation of the hepatocytes with 10 microM cycloheximide. Insulin stimulation of protamine kinase was maintained following chromatography of extracts on protamine-agarose, DEAE-cellulose, and Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration. The apparent Mr of the protamine kinase from control and insulin-treated hepatocytes was 45,000 as estimated by gel permeation chromatography. Experiments utilizing partially purified protamine kinase from control and insulin-treated hepatocytes indicated that insulin did not affect the apparent Km for protamine, Mg2+, or ATP, but increased the Vmax for the protamine kinase reaction by 1.6-2-fold. Incubation with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A completely inactivated the protamine kinase from control and insulin-treated cells. The results indicate that the insulin-stimulated increase in protamine kinase activity may be due to a covalent modification, possibly phosphorylation, of the protamine kinase.  相似文献

ATP-citrate lyase in vivo contains three phosphorylation sites on two tryptic peptides (peptides A and B). These phosphorylation sites are under hormonal control. Multifunctional protein kinase (MFPK) from rat liver phosphorylates peptide B on serine and threonine residues whereas cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates peptide A on a serine residue (Ramakrishna, S., and Benjamin, W. B. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 12280-12286). We now report that rat adipose tissue MFPK also phosphorylates serine and threonine residues of peptide B of ATP-citrate lyase. When the activity of MFPK was assayed using partially purified (by chromatography on phosphocellulose) cytosol fractions from insulin-treated adipose tissue, it was found that MFPK activity was decreased by over 55%. This decrease in MFPK activity occurs at physiological concentrations of insulin (EC50 = 1 x 10(-10) M). Its onset is rapid and almost maximal at 5 min after the addition of insulin. Even when new protein synthesis is inhibited by cycloheximide, extracts from insulin-treated fat pads have less MFPK activity compared to the control. The insulin effect is maintained after further chromatography on a gel filtration column suggesting that the decrease in MFPK activity is not due to a low molecular weight inhibitor. The insulin-induced decrease in MFPK activity is due to a decrease in Vmax whereas the affinity of this enzyme toward ATP-citrate lyase or ATP is unchanged.  相似文献

Bovine adrenal cortex contains a high molecular weight casein kinase II-like enzyme (Mr 500,000) that phosphorylates a specific serine residue in the cytoplasmic domain of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (Kishimoto, A., Brown, M. S., Slaughter, C. A., and Goldstein, J. L. (1987) J Biol. Chem. 262, 1344-1351). In the current paper, we provide evidence to suggest that this 500-kDa kinase can be dissociated into two subunits, a catalytic subunit and an activator subunit, by treatment with 1 M NaCl. The catalytic subunit was purified to homogeneity (greater than 100,000-fold) using affinity chromatography on GTP-agarose plus several other chromatography steps. It had an Mr of 50,000 by gel filtration and 35,000 by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. The catalytic subunit phosphorylated casein actively, but it phosphorylated the LDL receptor with only low affinity. The affinity for the LDL receptor was increased 10-fold (saturation at 10 nM LDL receptor) by addition of a second protein that was released from a high molecular weight 500-kDa complex by 1 M NaCl. This activator protein (Mr 120,000 by gel filtration) was extremely heat stable but was destroyed by trypsin. It appeared to be required in stoichiometric amounts with relation to the LDL receptor. It did not increase the ability of the 50-kDa subunit to phosphorylate casein nor did it activate phosphorylation of the LDL receptor or casein by classic casein kinase II. The current data raise the possibility that the specificity of the 500-kDa LDL receptor kinase is attributable to a heat-stable activator subunit that binds to the LDL receptor and thereby renders it a better substrate for the catalytic subunit of the kinase.  相似文献

Purified preparations of the parvovirus, Kilham rat virus, have associated with them a protein with DNA polymerase activity. The enzyme has been separated from the other two or three viral proteins and purified 63-fold. The viral associated enzyme was found in a single peak of DNA polymerase activity after chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, DNA-cellulose, and phosphocellulose columns. It shares some properties in common with the host cellular DNA polymerases, described in the preceding paper (Salzman, L.A., and McKerlie, L. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 5589-5595), but also has some important distinguishing characteristics. The Kilham rat virus-associated DNA polymerase has increased enzyme activity in the presence of 0.02 M KCl and has a strong preference for a synthetic DNA polymer containing deoxyadenylate and deoxythymidylate. The enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 75,000 plus or minus 3,000 and appears to contain endonuclease activity.  相似文献

Insulin stimulates the phosphorylation of the 40 S ribosomal subunit protein, S6, in intact 32P-labeled H4IIE-C3 cells, a rat hepatoma line. Cell-free cytosolic extracts from H4 cells exhibit a 5- to 10-fold increase in S6 protein kinase activity (measured by transfer of 32P to exogenous 40 S rat liver ribosomal subunits) when prepared from cells exposed to insulin prior to homogenization. Stimulation of S6 phosphorylation in intact cells and activation of S6 protein kinase in cell-free extracts are both detectable within 2 min after insulin, and are maximally stimulated by 10 min. Half-maximal stimulation is observed at 10(-11) M insulin. The stimulated S6 kinase activity requires ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid to be present during the kinase assay for full expression. Despite the presence of a 5- to 10-fold increase in S6 protein kinase activity, the extracts from insulin-treated cells exhibit no stimulated kinase activity toward casein, histone, or ATP-citrate lyase assayed under the conditions employed for S6. Thus, insulin mediates the rapid activation of protein kinase specific for ribosomal protein S6 by an as yet unidentified mechanism.  相似文献

An insulin-stimulated ribosomal protein S6 kinase in 3T3-L1 cells   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
A protein kinase that is stimulated from 2-10-fold by insulin and that phosphorylates ribosomal protein S6 has been characterized in 3T3-L1 cells. The detection of this activity in the 100,000 X g supernatant is facilitated by the presence of beta-glycerol phosphate or vanadate in the homogenization buffer. The activity has been purified 55-fold by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose. The resulting specific activity is 584 pmol/min/mg of protein. DEAE-cellulose chromatography followed by gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA54 or by glycerol gradient centrifugation suggests that the protein has a molecular mass of 60,000-70,000 daltons. Mg2+, and to a lesser extent Mn2+, will support phosphorylation of S6 by the activity. No proteins tested other than ribosomal protein S6 are phosphorylated. Based on its chromatographic properties and substrate specificity, the enzyme appears to be distinct from several other protein kinases that are known to phosphorylate ribosomal protein S6 in vitro. The complete characterization and purification of this enzyme may be essential to the elucidation of the mechanism of regulation of S6 phosphorylation by insulin.  相似文献

A meiosis-activated myelin basic protein (MBP) kinase was purified approximately 8700-fold from soluble post-germinal vesicle breakdown extracts from maturing oocytes of the sea star Pisaster ochraceus. Purification to apparent homogeneity was achieved by sequential chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, hydroxylapatite, phosphocellulose, phenyl-Sepharose, heparin-Sepharose, polylysine-Sepharose, and Mono-Q. The final product exhibited an apparent molecular mass of approximately 42 kDa by both native gradient and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and this precisely correlated with the chromatographic behavior of the recovered MBP kinase activity on a Superose 6/12 column. The kinase utilized the MBP as the major substrate with little or no phosphorylation of histones (H1, H2A, or H2B), casein, phosvitin, protamine, or 40 S ribosomal proteins. The purified enzyme was relatively insensitive to high concentrations of beta-glycerol phosphate, calmodulin, EGTA, NaCl, sodium fluoride, dithiothreitol, spermine, and heparin but was quite sensitive to inhibition by metal ions such as Mn2+, Zn2+, and Ca2+. The true Km values for ATP and myelin basic protein were determined to be 58 and 25 microM, respectively, using double-reciprocal plots. The purified enzyme was unable to utilize GTP in place of ATP. The enzyme was shown to rapidly undergo autophosphorylation. The autophosphorylation was sensitive to alkali treatment implying that phosphate was incorporated on serine/threonine residues. The properties of this MBP kinase are reminiscent of a protein kinase that is also activated in a cyclic fashion at M-phase during the early cell divisions of sea star and sea urchin embryos (Pelech, S. L., Tombe, R., Meijer, L., and Krebs, E. G. (1988) Dev. Biol. 130, 26-36).  相似文献

Preparations of Escherichia coli DnaK from our lab as well as preparations of DnaK and other HSP70 proteins from several major labs in the field produce a stoichiometric initial burst of [alpha-(32)P]ADP when incubated with [alpha-(32)P]ATP and contain an ADP kinase activity. We determined that the initial burst activity results from the transfer of gamma-phosphate from the radiolabeled substrate [alpha-(32)P]ATP to unlabeled ADP bound by the DnaK and is the same activity that results in ADP phosphorylation. The purification of DnaK from E. coli cells that carry a disrupted ndk gene, ndk::km, results in preparations with greatly reduced ADP kinase activities compared with preparations of DnaK purified from ndk(+) cells. The reduction in the amount of ADP kinase activity in preparations of DnaK purified from ndk::km cells shows that nucleoside-diphosphate kinase (NDP kinase) is responsible for most of the ADP kinase activity present in DnaK preparations isolated from ndk(+) cells. The remaining ADP kinase activity in preparations from ndk::km cells, which varies between preparations, is also a property of NDP kinase, which is most likely expressed because of a low frequency reversion of the disrupted ndk gene. A weak, but measurable physical interaction exists between DnaK and NDP kinase and may be at least partially responsible for the co-purification of NDP kinase with DnaK. The presence of contaminating NDP kinase can explain the range of k(cat) values reported for the ATPase activity of DnaK as well as recent reports of initial burst kinetics by DnaK (Banecki, B., and Zylicz, M. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 6137-6143) and an ADP-ATP exchange activity of DnaK (Hiromura, M., Yano, M., Mori, H., Inoue, M., and Kido, H. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 5435-5438).  相似文献

We have previously found and characterized a mitogen-activated, serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that specifically phosphorylates microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) in vitro, which we call here MAP2 kinase [Hoshi, M., Nishida, E. & Sakai, H. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 5396-5401; Hoshi, M., Nishida, E. & Sakai, H. (1989) Eur. J. Biochem. 184, 477-486]. In this study, we have found another serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that is activated by various mitogens. The activated kinase utilized microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) as the major substrate in vitro, so we tentatively call it MAP1B kinase (M1BK). M1BK was maximally activated 20-30 min after treatment of quiescent rat fibroblastic 3Y1 cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF), while MAP2 kinase was maximally activated within 5-10 min of EGF treatment. The EGF-activated M1BK was eluted at about 0.15 M NaCl on a DEAE-cellulose column, while the activated MAP2 kinase was eluted at about 0.1 M NaCl under the conditions used. The EGF-activated M1BK was eluted as a single peak just after the activated MAP2 kinase on an HPLC gel-filtration column. Histone, casein and ribosomal protein S6 were very poor substrates for the M1BK, while MAP2 and myelin basic protein were moderate substrates. The M1BK activity in cell extracts was inhibited by Ca2+, glycerol 2-phosphate and Zn2+, and slightly enhanced by heparin. These data suggested that M1BK is distinct from previously described mitogen-activated kinases such as MAP2 kinase, casein kinase II and S6 kinase. Pretreatment with cycloheximide or puromycin did not block the M1BK activation by EGF. Furthermore, incubation of the EGF-activated M1BK with acid phosphatase inactivated the kinase activity. Therefore, M1BK may be activated by phosphorylation in EGF-treated cells. In addition to EGF, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, platelet-derived growth factor and insulin-like growth factor-I also induced the activation of M1BK in quiescent cells.  相似文献

A protein kinase, termed microtubule-associated protein (MAP) kinase, which phosphorylates microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) in vitro and is stimulated 1.5-3-fold in extracts from insulin-treated 3T3-L1 cells has been identified (Ray, L.B., and Sturgill, T.W. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84, 1502-1506). Here, we describe chromatographic properties of MAP kinase and provide biochemical characterization of the partially purified enzyme. Isolation of the enzyme is facilitated by its unusually high affinity for hydrophobic interaction chromatography matrices. The molecular weight of the partially purified enzyme was determined to be 35,000 by gel filtration chromatography and 37,000 by glycerol gradient centrifugation. MAP kinase activity of chromatographic fractions correlated precisely with the presence of a 40-kDa phosphoprotein detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. MAP kinase has a Km of 7 microM for ATP and does not utilize GTP. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase, ATP citrate-lyase, casein, histones, phosvitin, protamine, and ribosomal protein S6 were all poor substrates relative to MAP-2. The enzyme is inhibited by fluoride and beta-glycerol phosphate but not by heparin. These properties of MAP kinase distinguish it from protein kinases previously described in the literature.  相似文献

Acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) receptor was purified from plasma membranes of bovine liver using Triton X-100 extraction, wheat germ lectin-Sepharose 4B gel affinity chromatography, and DEAE-cellulose anion-exchange chromatography. As previously reported for the aFGF receptor in murine fibroblasts (Huang, S. S., and Huang, J. S. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 9568-9571), the purified aFGF receptor was also found to be a 135-kDa glycoprotein which showed an intrinsic and ligand-stimulated autophosphorylation activity. The 32P-labeled aFGF receptor was specifically immunoprecipitated by anti-FGF receptor (anti-flg/bek/cek gene product) antiserum. In contrast to other growth factor receptors/protein tyrosine kinases, the protein tyrosine kinase activity (autophosphorylation) of the aFGF receptor was stimulated (approximately 1.5-fold) by low concentrations of Mn2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ (optimal concentrations of approximately 0.1, approximately 0.1, and 1 microM, respectively) but inhibited by higher concentrations of Mn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and pyrophosphate (greater than or equal to 20, greater than or equal to 50, greater than or equal to 10, and greater than or equal to 100 microM, respectively). However, addition of Mn2+ and pyrophosphate at a ratio of 1:1 not only reversed the inhibitory effect but also enhanced the kinase activity about 3-4-fold. The apparent Km of ATP for intrinsic and ligand-stimulated protein kinase activity of the aFGF receptor was estimated to be 25 microM. The preferred exogenous substrates for the protein tyrosine kinase activity of the aFGF receptor were found to be myelin basic protein and histone. Poly-L-arginine, an inhibitor for aFGF binding to the receptor, appeared to stimulate the mitogenesis or cell growth of responsive cells by mimicking aFGF activity.  相似文献

Purified rat liver ATP citrate-lyase is phosphorylated on serine residues by an insulin-stimulated cytosolic kinase activity partially purified from rat adipocytes [Yu, Khalaf & Czech (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 16677-16685]. The Km for lyase phosphorylation by this hormone-sensitive kinase activity is approx. 3 microM. Two-dimensional tryptic-peptide mapping of the 32P-labelled lyase reveals that the kinase-catalysed phosphorylation occurs primarily on a specific peptide. In intact 32P-labelled adipocytes, insulin enhances the serine phosphorylation of ATP citrate-lyase by 2-3-fold. Tryptic digestion of the 32P-labelled lyase immunopurified from insulin-treated adipocytes also yields one major phosphopeptide. 32P-labelled lyase tryptic peptides derived from labelling experiments in vitro and in vivo exhibit identical electrophoretic and chromatographic migration profiles. Furthermore, radio-sequencing of the phosphopeptide from lyase 32P-labelled in vitro indicates that serine-3 from the N-terminus is phosphorylated by the insulin-stimulated cytosolic kinase, in agreement with previous studies on the position of the phosphoserine residue in ATP citrate-lyase isolated from insulin-treated cells. Taken together, the similarity in site-specific phosphorylation of ATP citrate-lyase from insulin-treated adipocytes to that catalysed by the hormone-activated cytosolic kinase in vitro strongly suggests that this kinase mediates insulin action on lyase phosphorylation in intact cells.  相似文献

Tyrosine hydroxylase, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of catecholamines, was previously shown to be phosphorylated on four distinct serine residues in PC12 cell cultures, each one being specific for the kinase system involved (McTigue, M., Cremins, J., and Halegoua, S. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 9047-9056). A cAMP- and Ca2+-independent protein kinase was found to be associated with tyrosine hydroxylase purified from rat pheochromocytoma tumor. The use of this activity and the availability of a large amount of purified tyrosine hydroxylase allowed identification of the site phosphorylated by this kinase activity. A peptide of 1.5 kDa (about 12 residues long), carrying the phosphorylation site, was released from 32P-labeled tyrosine hydroxylase by limited proteolysis with trypsin. This peptide was isolated from trypsinized tyrosine hydroxylase by sequential gel filtration and ion exchange chromatographies. Analysis by thin layer chromatography of an acid hydrolysate of the peptide revealed that it contained phosphoserine. The sequence determination of the peptide showed that it corresponded to the residues 38-45 in the tyrosine hydroxylase primary structure (Arg-Gln-Ser(P)-Leu-Ile-Glu-Asp-Ala). Thus, the associated kinase phosphorylated Ser-40, one of the phosphorylation sites for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase also found in rat pheochromocytoma tumors. These results are compared to those recently appearing in a report by Campbell et al. (Campbell, D. G., Hardie, D. G., and Vulliet, P. R. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 10489-10492).  相似文献

It has previously been demonstrated that microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is a good substrate for the purified protein kinase C [Tsuyama, S., Bramblett, G. T., Huang, K.-P. & Flavin, M. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 4110-4116; Akiyama, T., Nishida, E., Ishida, J., Saji, N., Ogawara, H., Hoshi, M., Miyata, Y. & Sakai, H. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 15648-15651]. We have shown here that phosphorylation of MAP2, catalyzed by protein kinase C, reduces the ability to induce tubulin polymerization. MAP2 is divided into two domains by digestion with alpha-chymotrypsin; the microtubule-binding and the non-binding (projection) domains. The limited chymotryptic digestion following phosphorylation of MAP2 by protein kinase C has shown that both the domains of MAP2 were phosphorylated by protein kinase C, 50-60% of the incorporated phosphates being detected in the microtubule-binding domain. Polypeptide fragments, containing the microtubule-binding domain of MAP2, were purified by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography after chymotryptic digestion of MAP2. The purified microtubule-binding fragments were competent to polymerize tubulin, and served as good substrates for protein kinase C. The phosphorylation of the microtubule-binding fragments by protein kinase C reduced their ability to induce tubulin polymerization. These results suggest that the ability of MAP2 to induce tubulin polymerization is inhibited by phosphorylation of the microtubule-binding domain catalyzed by protein kinase C.  相似文献

Smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase, a calmodulin-dependent enzyme, binds 1 mol of calmodulin/mol of kinase in the presence of calcium (Adelstein, R. S., and Klee, C. B. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, in press. This enzyme is a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase whether or not calmodulin is bound. When calmodulin is not bound to myosin kinase, protein kinase incorporates phosphate into two sites in myosin kinase. Under these circumstances, phosphorylation markedly lowers the rate of myosin kinase activity. The decrease in myosin kinase activity is due to a 10-20-fold increase in the amount of calmodulin necessary for 50% activation of kinase activity. The effect of phosphorylation on the activity of myosin kinase can be reversed by dephosphorylation using a purified phosphatase (Pato, M. D., and Adelstein, R. S. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 6535-6538) isolated from smooth muscle. When calmodulin is bound to myosin kinase, phosphate is incorporated into a single site with no effect on myosin kinase activity. The presence of at least two sites that can be phosphorylated in myosin kinase was confirmed by tryptic digestion of denatured myosin kinase.  相似文献

A protein kinase (ATP: protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) which preferentially phosphorylates protamine is purified about 250-fold from the soluble fraction of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This enzyme is not sensitive to activation by cyclic nucleotides. Histone is about 5% as active as protamine in the reaction rate. Neither casein, phosvitin nor glycogen phosphorylase is active as substrate. The enzyme is distinguishable from casein kinase of the classical type (Rabinowitz, M. and Lipmann, F. (1960) J. Biol. Chem. 235, 1043-1050) and from adenoshine 3', 5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase described earlier (Takai, Y., Yamamura, H. and Nishizuka, Y. (1974) J. Biol. Chem. 249,530-535).  相似文献

Highly purified preparations of the heme-controlled eIF-2 alpha (eukaryotic peptide initiation factor 2 alpha subunit) kinase of rabbit reticulocytes contain an abundant 90-kilodalton (kDa) peptide that is immunologically cross-reactive with spectrin and that modulates the activity of the enzyme [Kudlicki, W., Fullilove, S., Read, R., Kramer, G., & Hardesty, B. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9695-9701]. The amino-terminal sequence of the 90-kDa protein has a high degree of similarity with the known amino-terminal sequences of the Drosophila 83-kDa heat shock protein (20 out of 22 residues) and with other related heat shock proteins. The amino acid sequence of a tryptic phosphopeptide isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography from the eIF-2 alpha kinase associated 90-kDa protein after phosphorylation by casein kinase II is shown to be identical with a 14 amino acid segment of the known sequence of the Drosophila 83-kDa heat shock protein. Results of hydrodynamic studies indicate a highly elongated structure for the reticulocyte protein, characteristic of a structural protein. Additional structural similarities between the eukaryotic heat shock proteins, the reticulocyte eIF-2 alpha kinase associated 90-kDa peptide, and spectrin are discussed.  相似文献
