Histidine kinases function as dimers. The kinase domain of the osmosensing histidine kinase EnvZ of Escherichia coli consists of two domains: domain A (67 residues) responsible for histidine phosphotransfer and dimerization, and domain B (161 residues) responsible for the catalytic and ATP-binding function. The individual structures of these two domains have been recently solved by NMR spectroscopy. Here, we demonstrate that an enzymatically functional monomeric histidine kinase can be constructed by fusing in tandem two domains A and one domain B to produce a single polypeptide (A-A-B). We show that this protein, EnvZc[AAB], is soluble and exists as a stable monomer. The autophosphorylation and OmpR kinase activities of the monomeric EnvZc[AAB] are similar to that of the wild-type EnvZ, while OmpR-binding and phosphatase functions are reduced. V8 protease digestion and mutational analyses indicate that His-243 of only the amino proximal domain A is phosphorylated. Based on these results, molecular models are proposed for the structures of EnvZc[AAB] and the kinase domain of EnvZ. The present results demonstrate for the first time the construction of a functional, monomeric histidine kinase, further structural studies of which may provide important insights into the structure-function relationships of histidine kinases. 相似文献

Tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor beta subunit activates the receptor-associated tyrosine kinase activity 总被引:32,自引:0,他引:32
The regulation of kinase activity associated with insulin receptor by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation has been examined using partially purified receptor immobilized on insulin-agarose. The immobilized receptor preparation exhibits predominately tyrosine but also serine and threonine kinase activities toward insulin receptor beta subunit and exogenous histone. Phosphorylation of the insulin receptor preparation with increasing concentrations of unlabeled ATP, followed by washing to remove the unreacted ATP, results in a progressive activation of the receptor kinase activity when assayed in the presence of histone and [gamma-32P]ATP. A maximal 4-fold activation is achieved by prior incubation of receptor with concentrations of ATP approaching 1 mM. High pressure liquid chromatographic analysis of tryptic hydrolysates of the 32P-labeled insulin receptor beta subunit reveals three domains of phosphorylation (designated peaks 1, 2, and 3). Phosphotyrosine and phosphoserine residues are present in these three domains while peak 2 contains phosphothreonine as well. Thus, at least seven sites are available for phosphorylation on the beta subunit of the insulin receptor. Incubation of the phosphorylated insulin receptor with alkaline phosphatase at 15 degrees C results in the selective dephosphorylation of the phosphotyrosine residues on the beta subunit of the receptor while the phosphoserine and phosphothreonine contents are not affected. The dephosphorylation of the receptor is accompanied by a marked 65% inhibition of the receptor kinase activity. Almost 90% of the decrease in [32P]phosphate content of the receptor after alkaline phosphatase treatment is accounted for by a decrease in phosphotyrosine content in peak 2, while very small decreases are observed in peaks 1 and 3, respectively. These results demonstrate that the extent of phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in receptor domain 2 closely parallels the receptor kinase activity state, suggesting phosphorylation of this domain may play a key role in regulating the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. 相似文献

Catalytic and regulatory sites of yeast plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase studied by directed mutagenesis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
More than 35 site-directed mutants of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been constructed and expressed to investigate the function of N- and C-termini and of conserved amino acids. Conserved motif TGES seems to form part of both the catalytic machinery for the hydrolysis of the phosphorylated intermediate and the vanadate binding site. In addition, it is involved in the coupling of ATP hydrolysis to H+ transport. The phosphorylated intermediate is also essential for this coupling, but not for ATP hydrolysis. The aspartate residues of conserved motifs DPPR, TGD and TGDGVND (the last one) seem to form part of the ATP binding site. The positive charge of the conserved motif KGAP is important for the kinase or phosphorylating activity. A conserved proline and a conserved aspartate predicted to have a transmembrane location are essential for activity. The N-terminus contains a conserved acidic region which may be involved in assembly into the plasma membrane. All the hydrophobic stretches at the C-terminus are also required for assembly. The last 11 amino acids constitute a non-essential inhibitory domain involved in regulation of the enzyme by glucose metabolism. 相似文献

Human DNA topoisomerase I, known for its DNA-relaxing activity, is possibly one of the kinases phosphorylating members of the SR protein family of splicing factors, in vivo. Little is known about the mechanism of action of this novel kinase. Using the prototypical SR protein SF2/ASF (SRp30a) as model substrate, we demonstrate that serine residues phosphorylated by topo I/kinase exclusively located within the most extended arginine-serine repeats of the SF2/ASF RS domain. Unlike other kinases such as cdc2 and SRPK1, which also phosphorylated serines at the RS domain, topo I/kinase required several SR dipeptide repeats. These repeats possibly contribute to a versatile structure in the RS domain thereby facilitating phosphorylation. Furthermore, far-western, fluorescence spectroscopy and kinase assays using the SF2/ASF mutants, demonstrated that kinase activity and binding were tightly coupled. Since the deletion of N-terminal 174 amino acids of Topo I destroys SF2/ASF binding and kinase activity but not ATP binding, we conclude that at least two distinct domains of Topo I are necessary for kinase activity: one in the C-terminal region contributing to the ATP binding site and the other one in the N-terminal region that allows binding of SF2/ASF. 相似文献

These studies describe a cytoskeletal-associated protein kinase activity in astrocytes that phosphorylated the intermediate filament proteins glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin and that appeared to be distinct from protein kinase C (PK-C) and the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-A). The cytoskeletal-associated kinase activity phosphorylated intermediate filament proteins in the presence of 10 mM MgCl2 and produced an even greater increase in 32P incorporation into these proteins in the presence of calcium/calmodulin. Tryptic peptide mapping of phosphorylated intermediate filament proteins showed that the intermediate filament protein kinase activity produced unique phosphopeptide maps, in both the presence and the absence of calcium/calmodulin, as compared to that of PK-C and PK-A, although there were some common sites of phosphorylation among the kinases. In addition, it was determined that the intermediate filament protein kinase activity phosphorylated both serine and threonine residues of the intermediate filament proteins, vimentin and GFAP. However, the relative proportion of serine and threonine residues phosphorylated varied depending on the presence or absence of calcium/calmodulin. The magnesium-dependent activity produced the highest proportion of threonine phosphorylation, suggesting that the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase activity acts mainly at serine residues. PK-A and PK-C phosphorylated mainly serine residues. Also, the intermediate filament protein kinase activity phosphorylated both the N-and the C-terminal domains of vimentin and the N-terminal domain of GFAP. In contrast, both PK-C and PK-A are known to phosphorylate the N-terminal domains of both proteins.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Heterologous expression and catalytic properties of the C-terminal domain of starfish cdc25 dual-specificity phosphatase, a cell cycle regulator 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The 3'-terminal region of starfish Asterina pectinifera cdc25 cDNA encoding the C-terminal catalytic domain was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The C-terminal domain consisted of 226 amino acid residues containing the signature motif HCxxxxxR, a motif highly conserved among protein tyrosine and dual-specificity phosphatases, and showed phosphatase activity toward p-nitrophenyl phosphate. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by SH inhibitors. Mutational studies indicated that the cysteine and arginine residues in the conserved motif are essential for activity, but the histidine residue is not. These results suggest that the enzyme catalyzes the reaction through a two-step mechanism involving a phosphocysteine intermediate like in the cases of other protein tyrosine and dual-specificity phosphatases. The C-terminal domain of Cdc25 activated the histone H1 kinase activity of the purified, inactive form of Cdc2.cyclin B complex (preMPF) from extracts of immature starfish oocytes. Synthetic diphosphorylated di- to nonadecapeptides mimicking amino acid sequences around the dephosphorylation site of Cdc2 still retained substrate activity. Phosphotyrosine and phosphothreonine underwent dephosphorylation in this order. This is the reverse order to that reported for the in vivo and in vitro dephosphorylation of preMPF. Monophosphopeptides having the same sequence served as much poorer substrates. As judged from the results with synthetic phosphopeptides, the presence of two phosphorylated residues was important for specific recognition of substrates by the Cdc25 phosphatase. 相似文献

The protein Rv0020c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, also called FhaA, is one of the major substrates of the essential Ser/Thr protein kinase (STPK) PknB. The protein is composed of three domains and is phosphorylated on a unique site in its N terminus. We solved the solution structure of both N- and C-terminal domains and demonstrated that the approximately 300 amino acids of the intermediate domain are not folded. We present evidence that the FHA, a phosphospecific binding domain, of Rv0020c does not interact with the phosphorylated catalytic domains of PknB, but with the phosphorylated juxtamembrane domain that links the catalytic domain to the mycobacterial membrane. We also demonstrated that the degree and the pattern of phosphorylation of this juxtamembrane domain modulates the affinity of the substrate (Rv0020c) toward its kinase (PknB). 相似文献

The protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family plays a central role in signal transduction pathways by controlling the phosphorylation state of serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues. PTPs can be divided into dual specificity phosphatases and the classical PTPs, which can comprise of one or two phosphatase domains. We studied amino acid substitutions at functional sites in the phosphatase domain and identified putative noncatalytic phosphatase domains in all subclasses of the PTP family. The presence of inactive phosphatase domains in all subclasses indicates that they were invented multiple times in evolution. Depending on the domain composition, loss of catalytic activity can result in different consequences for the function of the protein. Inactive single-domain phosphatases can still specifically bind substrate and protect it from dephosphorylation by other phosphatases. The inactive domains of tandem phosphatases can be further subdivided. The first class is more conserved, still able to bind phosphorylated tyrosine residues and might recruit multiphosphorylated substrates for the adjacent active domain. The second has accumulated several variable amino acid substitutions in the catalytic center, indicating a complete loss of tyrosine-binding capabilities. To study the impact of substitutions in the catalytic center to the evolution of the whole domain, we examined the evolutionary rates for each individual site and compared them between the classes. This analysis revealed a release of evolutionary constraint for multiple sites surrounding the catalytic center only in the second class, emphasizing its difference in function compared with the first class. Furthermore, we found a region of higher conservation common to both domain classes, suggesting a new regulatory center. We discuss the influence of evolutionary forces on the development of the phosphatase domain, which has led to additional functions, such as the specific protection of phosphorylated tyrosine residues, substrate recruitment, and regulation of the catalytic activity of adjacent domains. 相似文献

Dephosphorylation of the natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) is hypothesized to mediate its desensitization in response to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) binding. Recently, we identified six phosphorylation sites within the kinase homology domain of NPR-A and determined that the conversion of these residues to alanine abolished the ability of the receptor to be phosphorylated or to be activated by ANP and ATP. In an attempt to generate a form of NPR-A that mimics a fully phosphorylated receptor but that is resistant to dephosphorylation, we engineered a receptor variant (NPR-A-6E) containing glutamate substitutions at all six phosphorylation sites. Consistent with the known ability of negatively charged glutamate residues to substitute functionally, in some cases, for phosphorylated residues, we found that NPR-A-6E was activated 10-fold by ANP and ATP. As determined by guanylyl cyclase assays, the hormone-stimulated activity of the wild-type receptor declined over time in membrane preparations in vitro, and this loss was blocked by the serine/threonine protein phosphatase inhibitor microcystin. In contrast, the activity of NPR-A-6E was more linear with time and was unaffected by microcystin. The nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imino)-triphosphate was half as effective as ATP in stimulating the wild-type receptor but was equally as potent in stimulating NPR-A-6E, suggesting that ATP is required to keep the wild-type but not 6E variant phosphorylated. Finally, the desensitization of NPR-A-6E in whole cells was markedly blunted compared with that of the wild-type receptor, consistent with its inability to shed the negative charge from its kinase homology domain via dephosphorylation. These data provide the first direct test of the requirement for dephosphorylation in guanylyl cyclase desensitization and they indicate that it is an essential component of this process. 相似文献

Src homology 2 (SH2) domains interact in a highly specific manner with phosphorylated tyrosine residues on other signaling molecules. Protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) frequently contain SH2 domains, which often control signaling specificity. The Janus Kinases (JAKs) are a family of PTKs involved in signal transduction pathways mediated by various cytokines. Initial characterization of JAKs showed no identifiable SH2 domain. However, we have found substantial evidence supporting the existence of an SH2 domain in JAKs through the use of various web-based computational analysis programs. Predictive secondary and tertiary structures recognize an SH2 domain in JAKs. In addition, a three-dimensional homology model was constructed using the SH2 domains of Src tyrosine kinase and Syp tyrosine phosphatase as templates. These results, in conjunction with preliminary binding studies showing interactions with tyrosine phosphorylated proteins in activated splenocytes, suggest a functional role for this domain in JAKs. 相似文献

Amino and carboxyl termini of the bifunctional enzyme Fru 6-P, 2-kinase:Fru 2,6-bisphosphatase regulate the relative activities of the kinase/phosphatase. The N-terminus of the rat liver bifunctional enzyme is highly basic, containing a protein kinase A phosphorylation site that regulates these enzyme activities in a reciprocal manner. To determine the role of charged residues in the N-terminal peptide, mutant enzymes were constructed in which these residues were altered to residues carrying opposite charges, and the effect on the catalytic properties, thermal lability, and susceptibility to trypsin digestion and phosphorylation by protein kinase A was determined. Most of these mutations decreased k(cat)/K(ATP) and/or k(cat)/K(Fru) (6-P) of the kinase and increased k(cat)/K(Fru 2,6-P2) of the phosphatase. These mutant enzymes were more susceptible to trypsin digestion, phosphorylation by protein kinase A, and thermal inactivation. In general, the effect was greater with amino acid residues located more distant from the N-terminus. The resulting changes were not as large as observed with the phosphorylated enzyme. Mutation of Ser22 to Pro produced large changes in the kinetic properties comparable to those of phosphorylation, suggesting that the flexible region of the N-terminus containing five serines (Ser20 to S24) is essential for the enzyme activities. These results indicated that the charged residues as well as Ser20-Ser24 in the N-terminus of the liver Fru 6-P,2-kinase:Fru 2,6-Pase are essential in the allosteric regulation and probably involved in interactions with the catalytic domains that induce a conformation that has high Fru 6-P,2-kinase and low Fru 2,6-Pase activities. Any disruption of this N-terminal interaction results in inhibition of the kinase and activation of the phosphatase. 相似文献

Chlamydophila pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular bacterium that causes bronchitis, pharyngitis, and pneumonia and may be involved in atherogenesis and Alzheimer's disease. Genome sequencing has identified three eukaryote-type serine/threonine protein kinases, Pkn1, Pkn5, and PknD, that may be important signaling molecules in Chlamydia. Full-length PknD was cloned and expressed as a histidine-tagged protein in Escherichia coli. Differential centrifugation followed by sodium carbonate treatment of E. coli membranes demonstrated that His-PknD is an integral membrane protein. Fusions of overlapping PknD fragments to alkaline phosphatase revealed that PknD contains a single transmembrane domain and that the kinase domain is in the cytoplasm. To facilitate solubility, the kinase domain was cloned and expressed as a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein in E. coli. Purified GST-PknD kinase domain autophosphorylated, and catalytic mutants (K33G, D156G, and K33G-D156G mutants) and activation loop mutants (T185A and T193A) were inactive. PknD phosphorylated recombinant Cpn0712, a type III secretion YscD homolog that has two forkhead-associated domains. Thin-layer chromatography revealed that the PknD kinase domain autophosphorylated on threonine and tyrosine and phosphorylated the FHA-2 domain of Cpn0712 on serine and tyrosine. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a bacterial protein kinase with amino acid specificity for both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues and this is the first study to show phosphorylation of a predicted type III secretion structural protein. 相似文献

Phosphorylation sites in human erythrocyte band 3 protein 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The human red cell anion-exchanger, band 3 protein, is one of the main phosphorylated proteins of the erythrocyte membrane. Previous studies from this laboratory have shown that ATP-depletion of the red blood cell decreased the anion-exchange rate, suggesting that band 3 protein phosphorylation could be involved in the regulation of anion transport function (Bursaux et al. (1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 777, 253-260). Phosphorylation occurs mainly on the cytoplasmic domain of the protein and the major site of phosphorylation was assigned to tyrosine-8 (Dekowski et al. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 2750-2753). This site being very far from the integral, anion-exchanger domain, the aim of the present study was to determine whether phosphorylation sites exist in the integral domain. The phosphorylation reaction was carried out on isolated membranes in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP and phosphorylated band 3 protein was then isolated. Both the cytoplasmic and the membrane spanning domains were purified. The predominant phosphorylation sites were found on the cytoplasmic domain. RP-HPLC analyses of the tryptic peptides of whole band 3 protein, and of the isolated cytoplasmic and membrane-spanning domains allowed for the precise localization of the phosphorylated residues. 80% of the label was found in the N-terminal tryptic peptide (T-1), (residues 1-56). In this region, all the residues susceptible to phosphorylation were labeled but in varying proportion. Under our conditions, the most active membrane kinase was a tyrosine kinase, activated preferentially by Mn2+ but also by Mg2+. Tyrosine-8 was the main phosphate acceptor residue (50-70%) of the protein, tyrosine-21 and tyrosine-46 residues were also phosphorylated but to a much lesser extent. The main targets of membrane casein kinase, preferentially activated by Mg2+, were serine-29, serine-50, and threonine(s)-39, -42, -44, -48, -49, -54 residue(s) located in the T-1 peptide. A tyrosine phosphatase activity was copurified with whole band 3 protein which dephosphorylates specifically P-Tyr-8, indicating a highly exchangeable phosphate. The membrane-spanning fragment was only faintly labeled. 相似文献

A full length cDNA that partially corresponded to human adenylate kinase 5 (AK5) was identified and shown to encode for two separate domains. The full length protein could be divided in two distinct functional domains, a previously unidentified domain of 338 amino acids and a second domain of 198 amino acids that corresponded to the protein characterized as AK5, now called AK5p2. The first domain, AK5p1, phosphorylated AMP, CMP, dAMP and dCMP with ATP or GTP as phosphate donors similarly to AK5p2. Our data demonstrate that human AK5 has two separate functional domains and that both have enzymatic activity. 相似文献

Several biochemical properties of a 43 kDa v-abl-encoded tyrosine-specific protein kinase (p43v-abl) expressed in Escherichia coli were examined. p43v-abl is a fragment of a 60 kDa v-abl-encoded precursor, p60v-abl, and could be generated by limited proteolysis of a purified p60v-abl with trypsin. Tryptic cleavage of p60v-abl was prevented in the presence of ATP. These results suggest that the catalytic kinase domain of v-abl-derived protein can be separated from other (regulatory) domains by limited proteolysis. p43v-abl readily phosphorylated tyrosine residues on several different protein and peptide substrates, including peptides containing only two amino acid residues. However, the local sequence of the tyrosine-containing peptide substrate significantly affected its rate of phosphorylation. Thus the primary structure and local conformation at the tyrosine acceptor site can play an important role in determining the substrate specificity of v-abl-derived kinase. Phosphorylation by p43v-abl requires Mn2+, Co2+ or Mg2+ and exhibits a strong preference for ATP as phosphate donor. Analogues of ATP and the thiol-reactive reagent N-ethylmaleimide inhibited p43v-abl kinase activity. Purified p43v-abl is intrinsically thermolabile (t1/2 = 5 min at 40 degrees C) and phosphorylates glycerol inefficiently (Km = 1.4 M). 相似文献

Neuromodulin (P-57, GAP-43, B-50, F-1) is a neurospecific calmodulin binding protein that is phosphorylated by protein kinase C. Phosphorylation by protein kinase C has been shown to abolish the affinity of neuromodulin for calmodulin [Alexander, K. A., Cimler, B. M., Meier, K. E., & Storm, D. R. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 6108-6113], and we have proposed that the concentration of free CaM in neurons may be regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of neuromodulin. The purpose of this study was to identify the protein kinase C phosphorylation site(s) in neuromodulin using recombinant neuromodulin as a substrate. Toward this end, it was demonstrated that recombinant neuromodulin purified from Escherichia coli and bovine neuromodulin were phosphorylated with similar Km values and stoichiometries and that protein kinase C mediated phosphorylation of both proteins abolished binding to calmodulin-Sepharose. Recombinant neuromodulin was phosphorylated by using protein kinase C and [gamma-32P]ATP and digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides were separated by HPLC. Only one 32P-labeled tryptic peptide was generated from phosphorylated neuromodulin. The sequence of this peptide was IQASFR. The serine in this peptide corresponds to position 41 of the entire protein, which is adjacent to or contained within the calmodulin binding domain of neuromodulin. A synthetic peptide, QASFRGHITRKKLKGEK, corresponding to the calmodulin binding domain with a few flanking residues, including serine-41, was also phosphorylated by protein kinase C. We conclude that serine-41 is the protein kinase C phosphorylation site of neuromodulin and that phosphorylation of this amino acid residue blocks binding of calmodulin to neuromodulin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The protein tyrosine kinase c-Src is negatively regulated by phosphorylation of Tyr527 in its C-terminal tail. The repressed state is achieved through intramolecular interactions involving the phosphorylated tail, the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain and the SH3 domain. Both the SH2 and SH3 domains have also been shown to mediate the intermolecular interaction of Src with several proteins. To test which amino acids of the Src SH3 domain are important for these interactions, and whether the intra- and intermolecular associations involve the same residues, we carried out a detailed mutational analysis of the presumptive interaction surface. All mutations of conserved hydrophobic residues had an effect on both inter- and intramolecular interactions of the Src SH3 domain, although not all amino acids were equally important. Chimeric molecules in which the Src SH3 domain was replaced with those of spectrin or Lck showed derepressed kinase activity, whereas a chimera containing the Fyn SH3 domain was fully regulated. Since spectrin and Lck SH3 domains share the conserved hydrophobic residues characteristic of SH3 domains, other amino acids must be important for specificity. Mutational analysis of non- or semi-conserved residues in the RT and n-Src loops showed that some of these were also involved in inter- and intramolecular interactions. Stable transfection of selected SH3 domain mutants into NIH-3T3 cells showed that despite elevated levels of phosphotyrosine, the cells were morphologically normal, indicating that the SH3 domain was required for efficient transformation of NIH-3T3 cells by Src. 相似文献

Several cation transport ATPases, sharing the common feature of a phosphorylated intermediate in the process of ATP utilization, are compared with respect to their subunit composition and amino acid sequence. The main component of these enzymes is a polypeptide chain of MW slightly exceeding 100,000, comprising an extramembranous globular head which is connected through a stalk to a membrane-bound region. With reference to the Ca2+ ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum, it is proposed that the catalytic (ATP binding and phosphorylation) domain resides in the extramembranous globular head, while cation binding occurs in the membrane region. Therefore, these two functional domains are separated by a distance of approximately 50 Å. Alignment of amino acid sequences reveals extensive homology in the isoforms of the same ATPases, but relatively little homology in different cation ATPases. On the other hand, all cation ATPases considered in this analysis retain a consensus sequence of high homology, spanning the distance between the phosphorylation site and the preceding transmembrane helix. It is proposed that this sequence provides long-range functional linkage between catalytic and cation-binding domains. Thereby, translocation of bound cation occurs through a channel formed by transmembrane helices linked to the phosphorylation site. Additional sequences at the carboxyl terminal provide regulatory domains in certain ATPases. 相似文献

The P130gag-fps transforming protein of Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV) possesses tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity and autophosphorylates at Tyr-1073. Within the kinase domain of P130gag-fps is a putative ATP-binding site containing a lysine (Lys-950) homologous to lysine residues in cAMP-dependent protein kinase and p60v-src which bind the ATP analogue p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl-5' adenosine. FSV mutants in which the codon for Lys-950 has been changed to codons for arginine or glycine encode metabolically stable but enzymatically defective proteins which are unable to effect neoplastic transformation. Kinase-defective P130gag-fps containing arginine at residue 950 was normally phosphorylated at serine residues in vivo suggesting that this amino acid substitution has a minimal effect on protein folding and processing. The inability of arginine to substitute for lysine at residue 950 suggests that the side chain of Lys-950 is essential for P130gag-fps catalytic activity, probably by virtue of a specific interaction with ATP at the phosphotransfer active site. Tyr-1073 of the Arg-950 P130gag-fps mutant protein was not significantly autophosphorylated either in vitro or in vivo, but could be phosphorylated in trans by enzymatically active P140gag-fps. These data indicate that Tyr-1073 can be modified by intermolecular autophosphorylation. 相似文献
