Lysyl hydroxylase catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysine residues in collagenous sequences. Three isoforms (LH1, LH2 and LH3) of lysyl hydroxylase have been characterized, and LH2 is present as two alternatively spliced forms. In order to better understand the functional differences between the isoforms in vivo, the expression of the different isoforms was studied in mouse embryos and adult tissues. Our data indicate a widespread expression of all isoforms during embryogenesis, whereas the expression profiles become more specialized in adult tissues. The expression of LH2 was more tissue-specific, whereas a uniform and housekeeping like behavior was observed for LH3. Some cells express both LH2 and LH3, while a clear cell specificity was seen in some tissues. Moreover, immunoelectron microscopy revealed differences in the localization of LH2 and LH3. LH2 was localized intracellularly in the ER in all tissues studied, whereas the localization of LH3 was either intracellular or extracellular or both, depending on the tissue. Furthermore, our data indicate that the alternative splicing of LH2 is developmentally regulated. The short form of LH2 (LH2a) is the predominant form until E11.5; the long form (LH2b) dominates thereafter and is the major form in many adult tissues. Interestingly, however, adult mouse kidney and testis express exclusively the short form, LH2a. The results reveal a specific regulation for the expression of LH isoforms as well as for alternative splicing of LH2 during embryogenesis and in different tissues. 相似文献

Lysyl hydroxylases (LH), which catalyze the post-translational modifications of lysines in collagen and collagen-like proteins, function as dimers. However, the amino acids responsible for dimerization and the role of dimer formation in the enzymatic activities of LH have not yet been identified. We have localized the region responsible for the dimerization of lysyl hydroxylase 3 (LH3), a multifunctional enzyme of collagen biosynthesis, to a sequence of amino acids between the glycosyltransferase activity and the lysyl hydroxylase activity domains. This area is covered by amino acids 541-547 in human LH3, but contains no cysteine residues. The region is highly conserved among LH isoforms, and is also involved in the dimerization of LH1 subunits. Dimerization is required for the LH activity of LH3, whereas it is not obligatory for the glycosyltransferase activities. In order to determine whether complex formation can occur between LH molecules originating from different species, and between different LH isoforms, double expressions were generated in a baculovirus system. Heterocomplex formation between mouse and human LH3, between human LH1 and LH3 and between human LH2 and LH3 was detected by western blot analyses. However, due to the low amount of complexes formed, the in vivo function of heterocomplexes remains unclear. 相似文献

Progesterone exerts a variety of actions in the brain through the interaction with its receptors (PR) which have two isoforms with different function and regulation: PR-A and PR-B. Progesterone may modulate neurotransmission by regulating the expression of neurotransmitters synthesizing enzymes or their receptors in several brain regions. The role of PR isoforms in this modulation is unknown. We explored the role of PR isoforms in the regulation of tryptophan (TPH) and tyrosine (TH) hydroxylase, and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) expression in the hypothalamus of ovariectomized rats. Two weeks after ovariectomy, animals were subcutaneously injected with 5 μg of estradiol benzoate (EB), and 40 h later, progesterone (P) was intracerebroventricularly (ICV) injected. Each animal received two ICV injections of 1 μg/μl (4 nmol) of PR-B and total PR (PR-A + PR-B) sense or antisense (As) oligonucleotides (ODNs). First injection was made immediately before sc EB injection, and 24 h later animals received the second one. Twenty-four hours after P administration, rats were euthanized and brains removed to measure the expression of PR-A and PR-B, TPH, TH and GAD by Western blot. We observed that sense ODNs modified neither PR isoforms nor enzymes expression in the hypothalamus, whereas PR A + B antisense (PR A + B As) clearly decreased the expression of both PR isoforms in this region. ICV administration of PR-B As only decreased PR-B isoform expression with no significant effects on PR-A expression. A differential protein expression of TPH, TH and GAD was observed after PR isoforms antisense administration. PR-B As administration decreased the expression of TPH (65% with respect to control). In contrast, PR A + B As and PR-B As administration increased (51.6% and 34.4%, respectively) TH expression. The administration of PR A + B As and PR-B As diminished GAD expression (33.4% and 41.6%, respectively). Our findings indicate that PR isoforms play a differential role in the regulation of the content of TPH, TH and GAD in the rat hypothalamus. 相似文献

The hydroxylation of prolyl-residues in eukaryotes is important in collagen biosynthesis and in hypoxic signalling. The hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) are drug targets for the treatment of anaemia, while the procollagen prolyl hydroxylases and other 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenases are potential therapeutic targets for treatment of cancer, fibrotic disease, and infection. We describe assay development and inhibition studies for a procollagen prolyl hydroxylase from Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus 1 (vCPH). The results reveal HIF PHD inhibitors in clinical trials also inhibit vCPH. Implications for the targeting of the human PHDs and microbial prolyl hydroxylases are discussed. 相似文献

Phenylalanine hydroxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase, and tryptophan hydroxylase constitute a family of tetrahydropterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of these three proteins shows that the C-terminal two-thirds are homologous, while the N-terminal thirds are not. This is consistent with a model in which the C-terminal two-thirds constitute a conserved catalytic domain to which has been appended discrete regulatory domains. To test such a model, two mutant proteins have been constructed, expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized. One protein contains the first 158 amino acids of rat tyrosine hydroxylase. The second lacks the first 155 amino acid residues of this enzyme. The spectral properties of the two domains suggest that their three-dimensional structures are changed only slightly from intact tyrosine hydroxylase. The N-terminal domain mutant binds to heparin and is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase at the same rate as the holoenzyme but lacks any catalytic activity. The C-terminal domain mutant is fully active, with Vmax and Km values identical to the holoenzyme; these results establish that all of the catalytic residues of tyrosine hydroxylase are located in the C-terminal 330 amino acids. The results with the two mutant proteins are consistent with these two segments of tyrosine hydroxylase being two separate domains, one regulatory and one catalytic. 相似文献

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the key enzyme that controls the rate of synthesis of the catecholamines. SH-SY5Y cells with stable transfections of either human tyrosine hydroxylase isoform 1 (hTH1) or human tyrosine hydroxylase isoform 4 (hTH4) were used to determined the subcellular distribution of TH protein and phosphorylated TH, under basal conditions and after muscarine stimulation. Muscarine was previously shown to increase the phosphorylation of only serine 19 and serine 40 in hTH1 cells. Under basal conditions, the hTH1 and hTH4 proteins, their serine 19 phosphorylated forms and hTH1 phosphorylated at serine 40 were all similarly distributed; with ~80% in the cytosolic fraction, ~20% in the membrane fraction, and less than 1%, or not detectable, in the nuclear fraction. However, hTH4 phosphorylated at serine 71 had a significantly different distribution with ~65% cytosolic and ~35% membrane associated. Muscarine stimulation led to hTH1 being redistributed from the cytosol and nuclear fractions to the membrane fraction and hTH4 being redistributed from the cytosol to the nuclear fraction. These muscarine stimulated redistributions were not due to TH phosphorylation at serine 19, serine 40, or serine 71 and were most likely due to TH binding to proteins whose phosphorylation was increased by muscarine. This is the first study to show a difference in subcellular distribution between two human TH isoforms under basal and stimulated conditions. 相似文献

Carnitine biosynthesis from lysine and methionine involves five enzymatic reactions. γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase (BBH; EC 1.14.11.1) is the last enzyme of this pathway. It catalyzes the reaction of hydroxylation of γ-butyrobetaine to carnitine. The cDNA encoding this enzyme has been isolated and characterized. The cDNA contained an open reading frame of 1161 bp encoding a protein of 387 amino acids with a deduced molecular weight of 44.5 kDa. The sequence of the cDNA showed an important homology with the human cDNA recently isolated. Northern analysis showed γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase expression in the liver and in some extend in the testis and the epididymis. During this study, it also appeared that BBH mRNA expression was undetectable by Northern analysis during the perinatal period. During the development of the rat, the amount of BBH mRNA appeared after the weaning of the young rat and reached a maximal expression at the adult stage. 相似文献

Induction of diabetes in rats is associated with a significant elevation in the phenylalanine hydroxylating capacity of the liver. This phenomenon reflects an increase in the abundance of both phenylalanine hydroxylase protein and phenylalanine hydroxylase-specific mRNA. These changes can be abolished by insulin-dependent control of diabetes. We show here that the control of diabetes of oral administration of sodium orthovanadate will also nullify the diabetes-related alterations in phenylalanine hydroxylase expression. In addition, diabetes-induced changes in the extent of phosphorylation of phenylalanine hydroxylase are reversed by either or vanadate treatment in vivo. These treatments also abolished the diabetes-related, approx. 30-fold, decrease in glucagon sensitivity of phenylalanine hydroxylation in isolated liver cells. 相似文献

5-羟色胺(5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT)是生物界广泛分布的信号分子,涉及动物的重要行为。5-HT是色氨酸羟化酶(Tryptophan hydroxylase, TRH)将L-色氨酸羟化为5-羟-L-色氨酸,5-羟-L-色氨酸随即被多巴脱羧酶(Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase, DDC)脱羧而成。TRH作为5-HT合成的限速酶,在无脊椎动物神经调控中具有重要地位。鳞翅目昆虫中TRH的功能研究并不多。在家蚕中克隆了家蚕TRH (Bombyx mori TRH, BmTRH)的cDNA序列1667bp,其中包含1632bp的开放读码框(Openreadingframe,ORF)。人类TPH或者果蝇TRH(Drosophila TRH, DmTRH)与BmTRH有高度相似性,尤其BmTRH和DmTRH之间大多数氨基酸保守说明它们在系统发育上的密切关系并可能有相似功能。基因表达分析显示BmTRH主要表达于头部和中枢神经组织,免疫组织化学和Western blotting结果显示BmTRH只存在于神经组织中,即BmTRH可能仅参与家蚕的神经活动。此外,家蚕DDC(B.moridecarboxylase,BmDDC)和蛋白具有TRH活性的苯丙氨酸羟化酶基因(Phenylalanine hydroxylase, BmPAH)也在中枢神经系统中有表达,暗示家蚕神经系统5-HT的合成与果蝇中不同,可能有两种不同的调控机制。 相似文献

Lysyl hydroxylase (LH) isoform 3 is a post-translational enzyme possessing LH, collagen galactosyltransferase (GT) and glucosyltransferase (GGT) activities. We have demonstrated that LH3 is found not only intracellularly, but also on the cell surface and in the extracellular space, suggesting additional functions for LH3. Here we show that the targeted disruption of LH3 by siRNA causes a marked reduction of both glycosyltransferase activities, and the overexpression of LH3 in HT-1080 cells increases hydroxylation of lysyl residues and the subsequent galactosylation and glucosylation of hydroxylysyl residues. These data confirm the multi-functionality of LH3 in cells. Furthermore, treatment of cells in culture medium with a LH3 N-terminal fragment affects the cell behaviour, rapidly leading to arrest of growth and further to lethality if the fragment is glycosyltransferase-deficient, and leading to stimulation of proliferation if the fragment contains LH3 glycosyltransferase activities. The effect is reversible, the cells recovering after removal of the glycosyltransferase-deficient fragment. The findings were confirmed by overexpressing the full-length LH3 in native or mutated forms in the cells. The data indicate that the increase in proliferation depends on the glycosyltransferase activity of LH3. The overexpression of a glycosyltransferase-deficient mutant or targeted disruption of LH3 by siRNA in cells results in abnormal cell morphology followed by cell death. Our data clearly indicate that the deficiency of LH3 glycosyltransferase activities, especially in the extracellular space, causes growth arrest revealing the importance of the glycosyltransferase activities of LH3 for cell growth and viability, and identifying LH3 as a potential target for medical applications, such as cancer therapy. 相似文献

1. With respect to the mesostriatal projection, the mesencephalon is composed of two dopaminergic (DA) cell populations, called dorsal tier and ventral tier. Strong evidence suggests differences in both the spatial and the temporal sequence of the innervation of the striatum between the two groups, with the ventral tier neurons innervating striatal patches prenatally and dorsal tier cells innervating striatal matrix postnatally. 2. Using in situ hybridization, we have examined the expression of the gene coding for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in mesencephalic DA neurons with respect to their postnatal development. Two ontogenic patterns of expression were observed: (a) dorsal tier neurons of the medial mesencephalon exhibited a sharp increase in expression beginning after birth, peaking on day 14, then decreasing and, finally, stabilizing; and (b) ventral tier neurons and dorsal tier cells from the lateral and the medial-dorsal mesencephalon showed only a slight increase in TH mRNA, reaching a plateau at P10. 3. The time course of the observed increase in TH gene expression in the first group, generally parallels the innervation of their target cells in the striatal matrix, suggesting that TH gene expression in these cells may be influenced by their postsynaptic cells or by the innervation process. 相似文献

The mitochondrial carriers are a family of transport proteins in the inner membranes of mitochondria. They shuttle substrates, metabolites, and cofactors through this membrane and connect cytoplasm functions with others in the matrix. Glutamate is co-transported with H(+) (or exchanged for OH(-)), but no protein has ever been associated with this activity. Two human expressed sequence tags encode proteins of 323 and 315 amino acids with 63% identity that are related to the aspartate-glutamate carrier, a member of the carrier family. They have been overexpressed in Escherichia coli and reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. Their transport properties demonstrate that the two proteins are isoforms of the glutamate/H(+) symporter described in the past in whole mitochondria. Isoform 1 is expressed at higher levels than isoform 2 in all the tissues except in brain, where the two isoforms are expressed at comparable levels. The differences in expression levels and kinetic parameters of the two isoforms suggest that isoform 2 matches the basic requirement of all tissues especially with respect to amino acid degradation, and isoform 1 becomes operative to accommodate higher demands associated with specific metabolic functions such as ureogenesis. 相似文献

Phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase (PAHX) catalyzes an important step in the metabolism of the fatty acid side chain of chlorophyll. PHYHD1 exists in three isoforms and is the closest human homologue of PAHX. We show that like PAHX, the PHYHD1A but likely not the PHYHD1B/C isoforms, is a functional Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) dependent oxygenase. Crystallographic and biochemical analyses reveal that PHYHD1A has the double-stranded β-helix fold and Fe(II) and cosubstrate binding residues characteristic of the 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenases and catalyzes the conversion of 2-oxoglutarate to succinate and CO2 in an iron-dependent manner. However, PHYHD1A did not couple 2OG turnover to the hydroxylation of acyl-coenzyme A derivatives that are substrates for PAHX, implying that it is not directly involved in phytanoyl coenzyme-A metabolism. 相似文献

A second gene encoding a functional tryptophan hydroxylase activity has recently been described (TPH2), which is expressed abundantly in brainstem, the primary site of serotonergic neurons in the CNS. As serotonin (5-HT) has an important role as a precursor of the nocturnal synthesis of the pineal gland hormone, melatonin, it was of interest to determine the relative expression of TPH1 and 2 mRNA in the rat pineal during the light:dark (L:D) cycle using sensitive real-time RT-PCR assays which were developed for each TPH isoform. TPH1 mRNA expression was 105-fold more abundant in rat pineal than TPH2, and showed a significant approximately 4-fold nocturnal increase in expression which may contribute to the previously described nocturnal increase in pineal tryptophan hydroxylase activity. TPH2 expression within the gland showed no significant variation with time of day and was very low (approximately 300 copies/gland) indicating expression in the small proportion of "non-pinealocyte" cells in the gland. 相似文献
