The Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor Butyrolactone Is a Potent Inhibitor of p21WAF1/CIP1 Expression
《Cell cycle (Georgetown, Tex.)》2013,12(1):87-93
Butyrolactone I (BL) is a competitive inhibitor of ATP for binding and activation of cyclin-dependent kinases and is a potent inhibitor of cell cycle progression. Treatment of H460 human lung and SW480 human colon cancer cells with doses of BL that exceed the Ki for CDK inhibition but which are much lower than doses required to inhibit MAPK, PKA, PKC, or EGFR lead to a rapid significant reduction of endogenous p21 protein expression. BL-dependent inhibition of p21 expression appears to be p53-independent. BL-dependent p21 degradation was blocked by lactacystin, consistent with the hypothesis that there is accelerated p21 proteasomal degradation in the presence of BL. BL also inhibited the p53-dependent increase of p21 protein expression in cells exposed to the DNA damaging agent etoposide, and favored a greater G2/M arrest as compared to the non-BL exposed cells. BL accelerated the degradation of exogenously expressed p21 that was not observed with a C-terminal truncated form of p21. Degradation of exogenous p21 led to a shift to G2 accumulation in the cells exposed to BL. We conclude that BL has effects on the cell cycle beyond its role as a CDK inhibitor and can be used as a novel tool to study the mechanism of p21 degradation and the consequences towards p21-dependent checkpoints.Key Wordsp21, Butyrolactone, Proteasome, Cell Cycle, Checkpoint 相似文献

Protein kinase N (PKN) is a soluble, apparently novel serine protein kinase that is activated by nerve growth factor (NGF) and other agents in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells as well as in several nonneuronal cell lines. Purine analogs, such as 6-thioguanine and 2-aminopurine, have been found to inhibit PKN in vitro. When applied to intact cells, these compounds suppress certain biological responses to NGF, but not others, a findings suggesting the presence of multiple pathways in the NGF mechanism. We report here that 6-methylmercaptopurine riboside (6-MMPR) inhibits NGF-stimulated PKN activity in vitro with an apparent Ki of approximately 5 nM. This is approximately 1,000-fold lower than the Ki of the most potent purine inhibitor of PKN. Compounds similar to 6-MMPR, but lacking the methyl or riboside groups, were much less potent as PKN inhibitors. A survey of six additional purified protein kinases shows no inhibitory effect of 6-MMPR, thus indicating a good degree of specificity of this compound for PKN. In contrast to NGF-stimulated PKN, a PKN-like activity stimulated in PC12 cells in response to activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was nearly insensitive to 6-MMPR. Application of 6-MMPR to intact PC12 cells resulted in blockade of several responses to NGF (neurite regeneration and ornithine decarboxylase induction) but not of several others (rapid enhancement of tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation and PKN activation). These findings suggest that 6-MMPR is a potent and selective agent for characterizing PKN in vitro and for assessing its potential role in the multiple pathways of the NGF mechanism of action. 相似文献

Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is a cofactor for dozens of B6 requiring enzymes. PLP reacts with apo-B6 enzymes by forming an aldimine linkage with the ε-amino group of an active site lysine residue, thus yielding the catalytically active holo-B6 enzyme. During protein turnover, the PLP is salvaged by first converting it to pyridoxal by a phosphatase and then back to PLP by pyridoxal kinase. Nonetheless, PLP poses a potential toxicity problem for the cell since its reactive 4′-aldehyde moiety forms covalent adducts with other compounds and non-B6 proteins containing thiol or amino groups. The regulation of PLP homeostasis in the cell is thus an important, yet unresolved issue. In this report, using site-directed mutagenesis, kinetic, spectroscopic and chromatographic studies we show that pyridoxal kinase from E. coli forms a complex with the product PLP to form an inactive enzyme complex. Evidence is presented that, in the inhibited complex, PLP has formed an aldimine bond with an active site lysine residue during catalytic turnover. The rate of dissociation of PLP from the complex is very slow, being only partially released after a 2-hour incubation with PLP phosphatase. Interestingly, the inactive pyridoxal kinase•PLP complex can be partially reactivated by transferring the tightly bound PLP to an apo-B6 enzyme. These results open new perspectives on the mechanism of regulation and role of pyridoxal kinase in the Escherichia coli cell. 相似文献

The Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major human pathogen that causes infections ranging from acute otitis media to life-threatening invasive disease. Pneumococci have evolved several strategies to circumvent the host immune response, in particular the complement attack. The pneumococcal glycolytic enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is both secreted and bound to the bacterial surface and simultaneously binds plasminogen and its tissue plasminogen activator tPA. In the present study we demonstrate that PGK has an additional role in modulating the complement attack. PGK interacted with the membrane attack complex (MAC) components C5, C7, and C9, thereby blocking the assembly and membrane insertion of MAC resulting in significant inhibition of the hemolytic activity of human serum. Recombinant PGK interacted in a dose-dependent manner with these terminal pathway proteins, and the interactions were ionic in nature. In addition, PGK inhibited C9 polymerization both in the fluid phase and on the surface of sheep erythrocytes. Interestingly, PGK bound several MAC proteins simultaneously. Although C5 and C7 had partially overlapping binding sites on PGK, C9 did not compete with either one for PGK binding. Moreover, PGK significantly inhibited MAC deposition via both the classical and alternative pathway at the pneumococcal surface. Additionally, upon activation plasmin(ogen) bound to PGK cleaved the central complement protein C3b thereby further modifying the complement attack. In conclusion, our data demonstrate for the first time to our knowledge a novel pneumococcal inhibitor of the terminal complement cascade aiding complement evasion by this important pathogen. 相似文献

Abstract: The retraction of axonal branches is a prominent feature of nervous system development and function. Although various biological and pathological signals can elicit retraction, little is known regarding their underlying mode of action. An in vitro assay using NG108–15 cells was used to demonstrate that rapid-onset neurites exposed acutely to trypsin, serum, lysophosphatidic acid, extracellular ATP, the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, and nocodazole were all protected from retraction by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein. This finding indicates that a common (genistein-sensitive) cellular event is involved in integrating the influence of multiple extrinsic and intrinsic signals and in regulating whether or not neurites will execute a retraction response. 相似文献

Generating highly selective probes to interrogate protein kinase function in biological studies remains a challenge, and new strategies are required. Herein, we describe the development of the first highly selective and cell-permeable inhibitor of c-Src, a key signaling kinase in cancer. Our strategy involves extension of traditional inhibitor design by appending functionality proposed to interact with the phosphate-binding loop of c-Src. Using our selective inhibitor, we demonstrate that selective inhibition is significantly more efficacious than pan-kinase inhibition in slowing the growth of cancer cells. We also show that inhibition of c-Abl kinase, an off-target of most c-Src inhibitors, promotes oncogenic cell growth. 相似文献

K-Cl cotransport, KCC, is activated by swelling in many cells types, and promotes volume regulation by a KCl efflux osmotically
coupled to water efflux. KCC is probably activated by swelling-inhibition of a kinase, permitting dephosphorylation, and activation
of the cotransporter by a phosphatase. The myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) inhibitor ML-7 inhibits transporters activated
by shrinkage. In red blood cells from three mammalian species, ML-7 stimulated KCC in a volume-dependent manner. Relative
stimulation was greatest in more shrunken cells. Stimulation was reduced by moderate cell swelling and abolished by further
swelling. The half-maximal stimulation is at ∼20 μm ML-7, 50-fold greater than the IC50 for inhibition of MLCK in vitro. Stimulation of KCC by ML-7 did not require cell Ca, while MLCK does. Therefore the target
of ML-7 in stimulating KCC in red cells is probably not MLCK. The evidence favors stimulation of KCC by ML-7 by inhibiting
the volume-sensitive kinase. Qualitatively similar effects of ML-7 on KCC in red cells from three mammalian species suggest
a general mechanism.

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Sic1, an inhibitor of Clb-Cdc28 kinases, must be phosphorylated and degraded in G1 for cells to initiate DNA replication, and Cln-Cdc28 kinase appears to be primarily responsible for phosphorylation of Sic1. The Pho85 kinase is a yeast cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk), which is not essential for cell growth unless both CLN1 and CLN2 are absent. We demonstrate that Pho85, when complexed with Pcl1, a G1 cyclin homologue, can phosphorylate Sic1 in vitro, and that Sic1 appears to be more stable in pho85Δ cells. Three consensus Cdk phosphorylation sites present in Sic1 are phosphorylated in vivo, and two of them are required for prompt degradation of the inhibitor. Pho85 and other G1 Cdks appear to phosphorylate Sic1 at different sites in vivo. Thus at least two distinct Cdks can participate in phosphorylation of Sic1 and may therefore regulate progression through G1. 相似文献

Schiff base condensation of the pentadentate tetrapodal amine 1 with 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol 2 leads in a [3 + 6] condensation to a previously not described macrocycle 3 which shows C3-symmetry. X-ray analysis shows a truncated cone shape for 3. At T S 100°C, the 1H-ROESY/EXSY spectrum reveals pairwise exchange of corresponding sites, indicative of inversion of the whole molecule in an umbrella-like fashion. Molecular dynamics simulations support this hypothesis. 相似文献

Atherosclerosis is a common cardiovascular disease that involves the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries. Intraplaque neovacularization has been shown to be essential in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Previous studies showed that small-molecule compounds targeting farnesyl transferase have the ability to prevent atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice, but the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. In this study, we found that lonafarnib, a specific inhibitor of farnesyl transferase, elicits inhibitory effect on vascular endothelial capillary assembly in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, we showed that lonafarnib treatment led to a dose-dependent decrease in scratch wound closure in vitro, whereas it had little effect on endothelial cell proliferation. These data indicate that lonafarnib inhibits neovascularization via directly targeting endothelial cells and disturbing their motility. Moreover, we demonstrated that pharmacological inhibition of farnesyl transferase by lonafarnib significantly impaired centrosome reorientation toward the leading edge of endothelial cells. Mechanistically, we found that the catalytic β subunit of farnesyl transferase associated with a cytoskeletal protein important for the establishment and maintenance of cell polarity. Additionally, we showed that lonafarnib remarkably inhibited the expression of the cytoskeletal protein and interrupted its interaction with farnesyl transferase. Our findings thus offer novel mechanistic insight into the protective effect of farnesyl transferase inhibitors on atherosclerosis and provide encouraging evidence for the potential use of this group of agents in inhibiting plaque neovascularization. 相似文献

Small molecule inhibitors of protein kinases have become highly popular tools in signal transduction research, despite the fact that rather limited data about their respective selectivities have been available. We established an efficient chemical proteomics method to characterize the cellular targets of the widely used inhibitor SB203580, which was deemed to be rather specific for p38 kinase. Our results revealed several protein kinases as high affinity targets of SB 203580 and therefore imply a far more complicated cellular mode of action of this inhibitor than previously assumed. This raises the important question whether a lack of selectivity is inherent to many other “specific” inhibitors of protein kinases and warrants their evaluation employing experimental approaches adapted from our described proteomic technique. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, or protein kinase A, on Thr-197 is required for optimal enzyme activity, and enzyme isolated from either animal sources or bacterial expression strains is found phosphorylated at this site. Autophosphorylation of Thr-197 occurs in Escherichia coli and in vitro but is an inefficient intermolecular reaction catalyzed primarily by active, previously phosphorylated molecules. In contrast, the Thr-197 phosphorylation of newly synthesized protein kinase A in intact S49 mouse lymphoma cells is both efficient and insensitive to activators or inhibitors of intracellular protein kinase A. Using [35S]methionine-labeled, nonphosphorylated, recombinant catalytic subunit as the substrate in a gel mobility shift assay, we have identified an activity in extracts of protein kinase A-deficient S49 cells that phosphorylates catalytic subunit on Thr-197. The protein kinase A kinase activity partially purified by anion-exchange and hydroxylapatite chromatography is an efficient catalyst of protein kinase A phosphorylation in terms of both a low Km for ATP and a rapid time course. Phosphorylation of wild-type catalytic subunit by the kinase kinase activates the subunit for binding to a pseudosubstrate peptide inhibitor of protein kinase A. By both the gel shift assay and a [γ-32P]ATP incorporation assay, the enzyme is active on wild-type catalytic subunit and on an inactive mutant with Met substituted for Lys-72 but inactive on a mutant with Ala substituted for Thr-197. Combined with the results from mutant subunits, phosphoamino acid analysis suggests that the enzyme is specific for phosphorylation of Thr-197. 相似文献

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common childhood soft tissue sarcoma. Despite advances in modern therapy, patients with relapsed or metastatic disease have a very poor clinical prognosis. Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 4 (FGFR4) is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor that is involved in normal myogenesis and muscle regeneration, but not commonly expressed in differentiated muscle tissues. Amplification and mutational activation of FGFR4 has been reported in RMS and promotes tumor progression. Therefore, FGFR4 is a tractable therapeutic target for patients with RMS. In this study, we used a chimeric Ba/F3 TEL-FGFR4 construct to test five tyrosine kinase inhibitors reported to specifically inhibit FGFRs in the nanomolar range. We found ponatinib (AP24534) to be the most potent FGFR4 inhibitor with an IC50 in the nanomolar range. Ponatinib inhibited the growth of RMS cells expressing wild-type or mutated FGFR4 through increased apoptosis. Phosphorylation of wild-type and mutated FGFR4 as well as its downstream target STAT3 was also suppressed by ponatinib. Finally, ponatinib treatment inhibited tumor growth in a RMS mouse model expressing mutated FGFR4. Therefore, our data suggests that ponatinib is a potentially effective therapeutic agent for RMS tumors that are driven by a dysregulated FGFR4 signaling pathway. 相似文献

The staurosporine-induced G1 cell cycle arrest was analyzed in a variety of cell lines which includes human tumor cell lines and oncogene-transformed NIH3T3 cell lines. All the cell lines which were sensitive to staurosporine-induced G1 arrest contained a functional retinoblastoma protein (pRB). However, when pRB-lacking fibroblast cells derived from pRB knockout mice were tested they were also sensitive to G1 arrest by staurosporine, indicating that the inactivation of pRB alone is not sufficient for the abrogation of staurosporine-induced G1 arrest. In searching for a common event caused by staurosporine, the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor protein p27kip1but not p21cip1was found to accumulate after staurosporine treatment in all the cell lines examined. This accumulation occurred regardless of the induction of the G1 arrest. The result indicates that the accumulation of p27kip1is the cell's primary response to staurosporine and that the capability of staurosporine to induce G1 arrest depends on the integrity of cell cycle regulatory components which are downstream of p27kip1. 相似文献

Plant hormone brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of polyhydroxylated steroids that play critical roles in regulating broad aspects of plant growth and development. The structural diversity of BRs is generated by the action of several groups of P450s. Brassinazole is a specific inhibitor of C-22 hydroxylase (CYP90B1) in BR biosynthesis, and the application use of brassinazole has emerged as an effective way of complementing BR-deficient mutants to elucidate the functions of BRs. In this article, we report a new triazole-type BR biosynthesis inhibitor, YCZ-18. Quantitative analysis the endogenous levels of BRs in Arabidopsis indicated that YCZ-18 significantly decreased the BR contents in plant tissues. Assessment of the binding affinity of YCZ-18to purified recombinant CYP90D1 indicated that YCZ-18 induced a typical type II binding spectrum with a Kd value of approximately 0.79 μM. Analysis of the mechanisms underlying the dwarf phenotype associated with YCZ-18 treatment of Arabidopsis indicated that the chemically induced dwarf phenotype was caused by a failure of cell elongation. Moreover, dissecting the effect of YCZ-18 on the induction or down regulation of genes responsive to BRs indicated that YCZ-18 regulated the expression of genes responsible for BRs deficiency in Arabidopsis. These findings indicate that YCZ-18 is a potent BR biosynthesis inhibitor and has a new target site, C23-hydroxylation in BR biosynthesis. Application of YCZ-18 will be a good starting point for further elucidation of the detailed mechanism of BR biosynthesis and its regulation. 相似文献
