The African swine fever virus (ASFV) g5R gene encodes a protein containing a Nudix hydrolase motif which in terms of sequence appears most closely related to the mammalian diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A) hydrolases. However, purified recombinant g5R protein (g5Rp) showed a much wider range of nucleotide substrate specificity compared to eukaryotic Ap4A hydrolases, having highest activity with GTP, followed by adenosine 5'-pentaphosphate (p5A) and dGTP. Diadenosine and diguanosine nucleotides were substrates, but the enzyme showed no activity with cap analogues such as 7mGp3A. In common with eukaryotic diadenosine hexaphosphate (Ap6A) hydrolases, which prefer higher-order polyphosphates as substrates, g5Rp also hydrolyzes the diphosphoinositol polyphosphates PP-InsP5 and [PP]2-InsP4. A comparison of the kinetics of substrate utilization showed that the k(cat)/K(m) ratio for PP-InsP5 is 60-fold higher than that for GTP, which allows classification of g5R as a novel diphosphoinositol polyphosphate phosphohydrolase (DIPP). Unlike mammalian DIPP, g5Rp appeared to preferentially remove the 5-beta-phosphate from both PP-InsP5 and [PP]2-InsP4. ASFV infection led to a reduction in the levels of PP-InsP5, ATP and GTP by ca. 50% at late times postinfection. The measured intracellular concentrations of these compounds were comparable to the respective K(m) values of g5Rp, suggesting that one or all of these may be substrates for g5Rp during ASFV infection. Transfection of ASFV-infected Vero cells with a plasmid encoding epitope-tagged g5Rp suggested localization of this protein in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These results suggest a possible role for g5Rp in regulating a stage of viral morphogenesis involving diphosphoinositol polyphosphate-mediated membrane trafficking. 相似文献

Diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-InsP5 or ''InsP7'') and bisdiphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate ([PP]2-InsP4 or ''InsP8'') are the most highly phosphorylated members of the inositol-based cell signaling family. We have purified a rat hepatic diphosphoinositol polyphosphate phosphohydrolase (DIPP) that cleaves a beta-phosphate from the diphosphate groups in PP-InsP5 (Km = 340 nM) and [PP]2-InsP4 (Km = 34 nM). Inositol hexakisphophate (InsP6) was not a substrate, but it inhibited metabolism of both [PP]2-InsP4 and PP-InsP5 (IC50 = 0.2 and 3 microM, respectively). Microsequencing of DIPP revealed a ''MutT'' domain, which in other contexts guards cellular integrity by dephosphorylating 8-oxo-dGTP, which causes AT to CG transversion mutations. The MutT domain also metabolizes some nucleoside phosphates that may play roles in signal transduction. The rat DIPP MutT domain is conserved in a novel recombinant human uterine DIPP. The nucleotide sequence of the human DIPP cDNA was aligned to chromosome 6; the candidate gene contains at least four exons. The dependence of DIPP''s catalytic activity upon its MutT domain was confirmed by mutagenesis of a conserved glutamate residue. DIPP''s low molecular size, Mg2+ dependency and catalytic preference for phosphoanhydride bonds are also features of other MutT-type proteins. Because overlapping substrate specificity is a feature of this class of proteins, our data provide new directions for future studies of higher inositol phosphates. 相似文献

Evidence has accumulated that inositol pyrophosphates (diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-InsP5) and bisdiphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate ([PP]2-InsP4)) are intracellular signals that regulate many cellular processes including endocytosis, vesicle trafficking, apoptosis, and DNA repair. Yet, in contrast to the situation with all other second messengers, no one studying multicellular organisms has previously described a stimulus that acutely and specifically elevates cellular levels of PP-InsP5 or [PP]2-InsP4. We now show up to 25-fold elevations in [PP]2-InsP4 levels in animal cells. Importantly, this does not involve classical agonists. Instead, we show that this [PP]2-InsP4 response is a novel consequence of the activation of ERK1/2 and p38MAPalpha/beta kinases by hyperosmotic stress. JNK did not participate in regulating [PP]2-InsP4 levels. Identification of [PP]2-InsP4 as a sensor of hyperosmotic stress opens up a new area of research for studies into the cellular activities of higher inositol phosphates. 相似文献

Nudix hydrolases are a family of proteins that contain the characteristic sequence GX(5)EX(7)REUXEEXG(I/L/V), the Nudix box. They catalyze the hydrolysis of a variety of nucleoside diphosphate derivatives such as ADP-ribose, Ap(n)A (3 = n = 6), NADH, and dATP. A number of Nudix hydrolases from several species, ranging from bacteria to humans, have been characterized, including, in some cases, the determination of their three-dimensional structures. The product of the Rv1700 gene of M. tuberculosis is a Nudix hydrolase specific for ADP-ribose (ADPR). We have determined the crystal structures of MT-ADPRase alone, and in complex with substrate, with substrate and the nonactivating metal ion Gd(3+), and in complex with a nonhydrolyzable ADPR analog and the activating metal ion Mn(2+). These structures, refined with data extending to resolutions between 2.0 and 2.3 A, showed that there are sequence differences in binding site residues between MT-ADPRase and a human homolog that may be exploited for antituberculosis drug development. 相似文献

The turnover of the "high energy" diphosphoinositol polyphosphates by Ca(2+)- and cyclic nucleotide-modulated enzymes is considered a regulatory, molecular switching activity. Target processes may include intracellular trafficking. Following our earlier identification of a prototype human diphosphoinositol-polyphosphate phosphohydrolase (hDIPP1), we now describe new 21-kDa human isoforms, hDIPP2alpha and hDIPP2beta, distinguished from each other solely by hDIPP2beta possessing one additional amino acid (Gln(86)). Candidate DIPP2alpha and DIPP2beta homologues in rat and mouse were also identified. The rank order for catalytic activity is hDIPP1 > hDIPP2alpha > hDIPP2beta. Differential expression of hDIPP isoforms may provide flexibility in response times of the molecular switches. The 76% identity between hDIPP1 and the hDIPP2s includes conservation of an emerging signature sequence, namely, a Nudt (MutT) motif with a GX(2)GX(6)G carboxy extension. Northern and Western analyses indicate expression of hDIPP2s is broad but atypically controlled; these proteins are translated from multiple mRNAs that differ in the length of the 3'-untranslated region because of utilization of an array of alternative (canonical and noncanonical) polyadenylation signals. Thus, cells can recruit sophisticated molecular processes to regulate diphosphoinositol polyphosphate turnover. 相似文献

A total of 17 Nudix hydrolases were tested for their ability to hydrolyze 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). All 11 enzymes that were active toward dinucleoside polyphosphates with 4 or more phosphate groups as substrates were also able to hydrolyze PRPP, whereas the 6 that could not and that have coenzyme A, NDP-sugars, or pyridine nucleotides as preferred substrates did not degrade PRPP. The products of hydrolysis were ribose 1,5-bisphosphate and P(i). Active PRPP pyrophosphatases included the diphosphoinositol polyphosphate phosphohydrolase (DIPP) subfamily of Nudix hydrolases, which also degrade the non-nucleotide diphosphoinositol polyphosphates. K(m) and k(cat) values for PRPP hydrolysis for the Deinococcus radiodurans DR2356 (di)nucleoside polyphosphate hydrolase, the human diadenosine tetraphosphate hydrolase, and human DIPP-1 (diadenosine hexaphosphate and diphosphoinositol polyphosphate hydrolase) were 1 mm and 1.5 s(-1), 0.13 mm and 0.057 s(-1), and 0.38 mm and 1.0 s(-1), respectively. Active site mutants of the Caenorhabditis elegans diadenosine tetraphosphate hydrolase had no activity, confirming that the same active site is responsible for nucleotide and PRPP hydrolysis. Comparison of the specificity constants for nucleotide, diphosphoinositol polyphosphate, and PRPP hydrolysis suggests that PRPP is a significant substrate for the D. radiodurans DR2356 enzyme and for the DIPP subfamily. In the latter case, generation of the glycolytic activator ribose 1,5-bisphosphate may be a new function for these enzymes. 相似文献

Mammalian cells utilize multiple signaling mechanisms to protect against the osmotic stress that accompanies plasma membrane ion transport, solute uptake, and turnover of protein and carbohydrates (Schliess, F., and Haussinger, D. (2002) Biol. Chem. 383, 577-583). Recently, osmotic stress was found to increase synthesis of bisdiphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate ((PP)2-InsP4), a high energy inositol pyrophosphate (Pesesse, X., Choi, K., Zhang, T., and Shears, S. B. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 43378-43381). Here, we describe the purification from rat brain of a diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate kinase (PPIP5K) that synthesizes (PP)2-InsP4. Partial amino acid sequence, obtained by mass spectrometry, matched the sequence of a 160-kDa rat protein containing a putative ATP-grasp kinase domain. BLAST searches uncovered two human isoforms (PPIP5K1 (160 kDa) and PPIP5K2 (138 kDa)). Recombinant human PPIP5K1, expressed in Escherichia coli, was found to phosphorylate diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-InsP5) to (PP)2-InsP4 (Vmax = 8.3 nmol/mg of protein/min; Km = 0.34 microM). Overexpression in human embryonic kidney cells of either PPIP5K1 or PPIP5K2 substantially increased levels of (PP)2-InsP4, whereas overexpression of a catalytically dead PPIP5K1(D332A) mutant had no effect. PPIP5K1 and PPIP5K2 were more active against PP-InsP5 than InsP6, both in vitro and in vivo. Analysis by confocal immunofluorescence showed PPIP5K1 to be distributed throughout the cytoplasm but excluded from the nucleus. Immunopurification of overexpressed PPIP5K1 from osmotically stressed HEK cells (0.2 M sorbitol; 30 min) revealed a persistent, 3.9 +/- 0.4-fold activation when compared with control cells. PPIP5Ks are likely to be important signaling enzymes. 相似文献

Nudix hydrolases catalyze the hydrolysis of nucleoside diphosphates linked to other moieties, X, and contain the sequence motif or Nudix box, GX(5)EX(7)REUXEEXGU. The mechanisms of Nudix hydrolases are highly diverse in the position on the substrate at which nucleophilic substitution occurs, and in the number of required divalent cations. While most proceed by associative nucleophilic substitutions by water at specific internal phosphorus atoms of a diphosphate or polyphosphate chain, members of the GDP-mannose hydrolase sub-family catalyze dissociative nucleophilic substitutions, by water, at carbon. The site of substitution is likely determined by the positions of the general base and the entering water. The rate accelerations or catalytic powers of Nudix hydrolases range from 10(9)- to 10(12)-fold. The reactions are accelerated 10(3)-10(5)-fold by general base catalysis by a glutamate residue within, or beyond the Nudix box, or by a histidine beyond the Nudix box. Lewis acid catalysis, which contributes 10(3)-10(5)-fold to the rate acceleration, is provided by one, two, or three divalent cations. One divalent cation is coordinated by two or three conserved residues of the Nudix box, the initial glycine and one or two glutamate residues, together with a remote glutamate or glutamine ligand from beyond the Nudix box. Some Nudix enzymes require one (MutT) or two additional divalent cations (Ap(4)AP), to neutralize the charge of the polyphosphate chain, to help orient the attacking hydroxide or oxide nucleophile, and/or to facilitate the departure of the anionic leaving group. Additional catalysis (10-10(3)-fold) is provided by the cationic side chains of lysine and arginine residues and by H-bond donation by tyrosine residues, to orient the general base, or to promote the departure of the leaving group. The overall rate accelerations can be explained by both independent and cooperative effects of these catalytic components. 相似文献

The ndx1 gene, which encodes a Nudix protein, was cloned from the extremely thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB8. This gene encodes a 126-amino acid protein that includes the characteristic Nudix motif conserved among Nudix proteins. Ndx1 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Ndx1 was stable up to 95 degrees C and at extreme pH. Size exclusion chromatography indicated that Ndx1 was monomeric in solution. Ndx1 specifically hydrolyzed (di)adenosine polyphosphates but not ATP or diadenosine triphosphate, and it always generated ATP as the product. Diadenosine hexaphosphate (Ap(6)A), the most preferred substrate, was hydrolyzed to produce two ATP molecules, which is a novel hydrolysis mode for Ap(6)A, with a K(m) of 1.4 microm and a k(cat) of 4.1 s(-1). These results indicate that Ndx1 is a (di)adenosine polyphosphate hydrolase. Ndx1 activity required the presence of the divalent cations Mn(2+), Mg(2+), Zn(2+), and Co(2+), whereas Ca(2+), Ni(2+), and Cu(2+) were not able to activate Ndx1. Fluoride ion inhibited Ndx1 activity via a non-competitive mechanism. Optimal activity for Ap(6)A was observed at around pH 8.0 and about 70 degrees C. We found two important residues with pK(a) values of 6.1 and 9.6 in the free enzyme and pK(a) values of 7.9 and 10.0 in the substrate-enzyme complex. Kinetic studies of proteins with amino acid substitutions suggested that Glu-46 and Glu-50 were conserved residues in the Nudix motif and were involved in catalysis. Trp-26 was likely involved in enzyme-substrate interactions based on fluorescence measurements. Based on these results, the mechanism of substrate recognition and catalysis are discussed. 相似文献

Inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)) is a well-known messenger molecule that releases calcium from intracellular stores. Homologues with up to six phosphates have been characterized and recently, homologues with seven or eight phosphate groups, including pyrophosphates, have been identified. These homologues are diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-InsP(5)/InsP(7)) and bis(diphospho)inositol tetrakisphosphate (bis-PP-InsP(4)/InsP(8)) [1], the rapid turnover of which [2] is regulated by calcium [2] and adrenergic receptor activity [3]. It has been proposed that the high-energy pyrophosphates might participate in protein phosphorylation [4]. We have purified InsP(6) kinase [5] and PP-InsP(5) kinase [6], both of which display ATP synthase activity, transferring phosphate to ADP. Here, we report the cloning of two mammalian InsP(6) kinases and a yeast InsP(6) kinase. Furthermore, we show that the yeast protein, ArgRIII, is an inositol-polyphosphate kinase that can convert InsP(3) to InsP(4), InsP(5) and InsP(6). We have identified a new family of highly conserved inositol-polyphosphate kinases that contain a newly identified, unique consensus sequence. 相似文献

Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based methods, including residual dipolar coupling restraints, we have determined the solution structure of the hypothetical Deinococcus radiodurans Nudix protein DR0079 (171 residues, MW = 19.3 kDa). The protein contains eight beta-strands and three alpha-helices organized into three subdomains: an N-terminal beta-sheet (1-34), a central Nudix core (35-140), and a C-terminal helix-turn-helix (141-171). The Nudix core and the C-terminal helix-turn-helix form the fundamental fold common to the Nudix family, a large mixed beta-sheet sandwiched between alpha-helices. The residues that compose the signature Nudix sequence, GX5EX7REUXEEXGU (where U = I, L, or V and X = any amino acid), are contained in a turn-helix-turn motif on the face of the mixed beta-sheet. Chemical shift mapping experiments suggest that DR0079 binds Mg2+. Experiments designed to determine the biological function of the protein indicate that it is not a type I isopentenyl-diphosphate delta-isomerase and that it does not bind alpha,beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AMPCPP) or guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate (GMPPNP). In this article, the structure of DR0079 is compared to other known Nudix protein structures, a potential substrate-binding surface is proposed, and its possible biological function is discussed. 相似文献

The sequence motif commonly called a Nudix box, represented by (GX(5)EX(7)REVXEEXGU) is the marker of a widely distributed family of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of a variety of nucleoside diphosphate derivatives. Here we describe the cloning and characterization of an Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA encoding a Nudix hydrolase that degrades NADH. The deduced amino acid sequence of AtNUDT1 contains 147 amino acids. The recombinant AtNUDT1 was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. In the presence of Mn(2+) and the optimal pH of 7. 0, the recombinant AtNUDT1 catalyzed the hydrolysis of NADH with a K(m) value of 0. 36 mm. A V(max) of 12. 7 units mg (-1) for NADH was determined. The recombinant AtNUDT1 migrated as a dimer on a gel filtration column. Biochemical analysis of recombinant AtNUDT1 indicated that the first characterized member of the Nudix family from A. thaliana is a NADH pyrophosphatase. 相似文献

The genome of the extremely radiation resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans encodes 21 Nudix hydrolases, of which only two have been characterized in detail. Here we report the activity and crystal structure for DR_0079, the first Nudix hydrolase observed to have a marked preference for cytosine ribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate (CDP) and cytosine ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate (CTP). After CDP and CTP, the next most preferred substrates for DR_0079, with a relative activity of <50%, were the corresponding deoxyribose nucleotides, dCDP and dCTP. Hydrolase activity at the site of the phosphodiester bond was corroborated using (31)P NMR spectroscopy to follow the phosphorus resonances for three substrates, CDP, IDP, and CTP, and their hydrolysis products, CMP + P(i), IMP + P(i), and CMP + PP(i), respectively. Nucleophilic substitution at the beta-phosphorus of CDP and CTP was established, using (31)P NMR spectroscopy, by the appearance of an upfield-shifted P(i) resonance and line-broadened PP(i) resonance, respectively, when the hydrolysis was performed in 40% H(2)(18)O-enriched water. The optimal activity for CDP was at pH 9.0-9.5 with the reaction requiring divalent metal cation (Mg(2+) > Mn(2+) > Co(2+)). The biochemical data are discussed with reference to the crystal structure for DR_0079 that was determined in the metal-free form at 1.9 A resolution. The protein contains nine beta-strands, three alpha-helices, and two 3(10)-helices organized into three subdomains: an N-terminal beta-sheet, a central Nudix core, and a C-terminal helix-turn-helix motif. As observed for all known structures of Nudix hydrolases, the alpha-helix of the "Nudix box" is one of two helices that sandwich a "four-strand" mixed beta-sheet. To identify residues potentially involved in metal and substrate binding, NMR chemical shift mapping experiments were performed on (15)N-labeled DR_0079 with the paramagnetic divalent cation Co(2+) and the nonhydrolyzable substrate thymidine 5'-O-(alpha,beta-methylenediphosphate) and the results mapped onto the crystal structure. 相似文献

Phospho-DARPP-32 (where DARPP-32 is dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, Mr 32,000), its homolog, phospho-inhibitor-1, and inhibitor-2 are potent inhibitors (IC50 approximately 1 nM) of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1). Our previous studies have indicated that a region encompassing residues 6-11 (RKKIQF) and phospho-Thr-34, of phospho-DARPP-32, interacts with PP1. However, little is known about specific regions of inhibitor-2 that interact with PP1. We have now characterized in detail the interaction of phospho-DARPP-32 and inhibitor-2 with PP1. Mutagenesis studies indicate that within DARPP-32 Phe-11 and Ile-9 play critical roles, with Lys-7 playing a lesser role in inhibition of PP1. Pro-33 and Pro-35 are also important, as is the number of amino acids between residues 7 and 11 and phospho-Thr-34. For inhibitor-2, deletion of amino acids 1-8 (I2-(9-204)) or 100-204 (I2-(1-99)) had little effect on the ability of the mutant proteins to inhibit PP1. Further deletion of residues 9-13 (I2-(14-204)) resulted in a large decrease in inhibitory potency (IC50 approximately 800 nM), whereas further COOH-terminal deletion (I2-(1-84)) caused a moderate decrease in inhibitory potency (IC50 approximately 10 nM). Within residues 9-13 (PIKGI), mutagenesis indicated that Ile-10, Lys-11, and Ile-13 play critical roles. The peptide I2-(6-20) antagonized the inhibition of PP-1 by inhibitor-2 but had no effect on inhibition by phospho-DARPP-32. In contrast, the peptide D32-(6-38) antagonized the inhibition of PP1 by phospho-DARPP-32, inhibitor-2, and I2-(1-120) but not I2-(85-204). These results indicate that distinct amino acid motifs contained within the NH2 termini of phospho-DARPP-32 (KKIQF, where italics indicate important residues) and inhibitor-2 (IKGI) are critical for inhibition of PP1. Moreover, residues 14-84 of inhibitor-2 and residues 6-38 of phospho-DARPP-32 share elements that are important for interaction with PP1. 相似文献

A protein phosphatase-1gamma1 isoform selectivity determinant in dendritic spine-associated neurabin

Protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) catalytic subunit isoforms interact with diverse proteins, typically containing a canonical (R/K)(V/I)XF motif. Despite sharing approximately 90% amino acid sequence identity, PP1beta and PP1gamma1 have distinct subcellular localizations that may be determined by selective interactions with PP1-binding proteins. Immunoprecipitation studies from brain and muscle extracts demonstrated that PP1gamma1 selectively interacts with spinophilin and neurabin, F-actin-targeting proteins, whereas PP1beta selectively interacted with G(M)/R(GL), the striated-muscle glycogen-targeting subunit. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins containing residues 146-493 of neurabin (GST-Nb-(146-493)) or residues 1-240 of G(M)/R(GL) (GST-G(M)-(1-240)) recapitulated these isoform selectivities in binding and phosphatase activity inhibition assays. Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that this isoform selectivity was not due to sequence differences between the canonical PP1-binding motifs (neurabin, (457)KIKF(460); G(M)/R(GL), (65)RVSF(68)). A chimeric GST fusion protein containing residues 1-64 of G(M)/R(GL) fused to residues 457-493 of neurabin (GST-G(M)/Nb) selectively bound to and inhibited PP1gamma1, whereas a GST-Nb/G(M) chimera containing Nb-(146-460) fused to G(M)-(69-240) selectively interacted with and weakly inhibited PP1beta, implicating domain(s) C-terminal to the (R/K)(V/I)XF motif as determinants of PP1 isoform selectivity. Deletion of Pro(464) and Ile(465) in neurabin (deltaPI) to equally space a conserved cluster of amino acids from the (R/K)(V/I)XF motif as in G(M)/R(GL) severely compromised the ability of neurabin to bind and inhibit both isoforms but did not affect PP1gamma1 selectivity. Further analysis of a series of C-terminal truncated GST-Nb-(146-493) proteins identified residues 473-479 of neurabin as containing a crucial PP1gamma1-selectivity determinant. In combination, these data identify a novel PP1gamma1-selective interaction domain in neurabin that may allow for selective regulation and/or subcellular targeting of PP1 isoforms. 相似文献

Xenopus laevis oocytes exhibit ectoenzymatic activity able to hydrolytically cleave extracellular diadenosine polyphosphates (Ap(n)A). The basic properties of this ectoenzyme were investigated using as substrates di-(1,N(6)-ethenoadenosine) 5',5"'-P(1),P(4)-tetraphospate [epsilon-(Ap(4)A)] and di-(1,N(6)-ethenoadenosine) 5',5"'-P(1),P(5)-pentaphospate [epsilon-(Ap(5)A)], fluorogenic derivatives of Ap(4)A and Ap(5)A, respectively. epsilon-(Ap(4)A) and epsilon-(Ap(5)A) are hydrolysed by folliculated oocytes according to hyperbolic kinetics with K(m) values of 13.4 and 12.0 microM and Vmax values of 4.8 and 5.5 pmol per oocyte per min, respectively. The ectoenzyme is activated by Ca(2+) and Mg(2+), reaches maximal activity at pH 8--9 and is inhibited by suramin. Defolliculated oocytes also hydrolyse both substrates with similar K(m) values but V(max) values are approximately doubled with respect to folliculated controls. Chromatographic analysis indicates that extracellular epsilon-(Ap(4)A) and epsilon-(Ap(5)A) are first cleaved into 1,N(6)-ethenoAMP (epsilon-AMP) + 1,N(6)-ethenoATP (epsilon-ATP) and epsilon-AMP + 1,N(6)-ethenoadenosine tetraphosphate (epsilon-Ap(4)), respectively, which are catabolized to 1,N(6)-ethenoadenosine (epsilon-Ado) as the end product by folliculated oocytes. Denuded oocytes, however, show a drastically reduced rate of epsilon-Ado production, epsilon-AMP being the main end-product of extracellular epsilon-(Ap(n)A) catabolism. Results indicate that, whereas the Ap(n)A-cleaving ectoenzyme appears to be located mainly in the oocyte, ectoenzymes involved in the dephosphorylation of mononucleotide moieties are located mainly in the follicular cell layer. 相似文献

The corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) type 1 receptors (CRF(1)) from human (hCRF(1)) and Xenopus (xCRF(1)) differ from one another by their agonist- and antagonist-binding preference. While the agonist-binding site of the xCRF(1) receptor has been mapped, the amino acids that mediate binding of the potent peptide antagonist astressin are unknown. By constructing receptor chimeras followed by site-directed mutagenesis, the astressin-binding site of the xCRF(1) receptor was located between residues 76 and 83. This region partially overlaps with the agonist-selective domain of the xCRF(1) receptor (residues 76-89). Mutagenesis of the amphibian residues Gln(76), Gly(81) and Val(83) to the human sequence (Arg(76)Asn(81)Gly(83)) generated a receptor mutant that bound astressin with even higher affinity than the native hCRF(1) receptor. An amino acid doublet (Glu(70)Tyr(71)) that is conserved in the xCRF(1) and hCRF(2(a)) receptor after incorporation into the hCRF(1) receptor sequence was found to facilitate antagonist binding up to 15-fold higher. In agreement with the binding data, astressin was a more potent functional antagonist at receptors expressing the Glu(70)Tyr(71) motif. These data show that the agonist- and antagonist-binding sites of the hCRF(1) receptor partially overlap and that two amino acids within the N terminus of the hCRF(1) receptor negatively influence binding and functional antagonism of astressin. 相似文献

Bis-diphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate ([PP]2-InsP4 or 'InsP8') is a 'high-energy' inositol phosphate; we report that its metabolism is receptor-regulated in DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. This conclusion arose by pursuing the mechanism by which F- decreased cellular levels of [PP]2-InsP4 up to 70%. A similar effect was induced by elevating cyclic nucleotide levels, either with IBMX or by application of either Bt2cAMP (EC50 = 14.7 microM), Bt2cGMP (EC50 = 7.9 microM) or isoproterenol (EC50 = 0.4 nM). Isoproterenol (1 microM) decreased [PP]2-InsP4 levels 25% by 5 min, and 71% by 60 min. This novel, agonist-mediated regulation of [PP]2-InsP4 turnover was very specific; isoproterenol did not decrease the cellular levels of either inositol pentakisphosphate, inositol hexakisphosphate or other diphosphorylated inositol polyphosphates. Bradykinin, which activated phospholipase C, did not affect [PP]2-InsP4 levels. Regulation of [PP]2-InsP4 turnover by both isoproterenol and cell-permeant cyclic nucleotides was unaffected by inhibitors of protein kinases A and G. The effectiveness of the kinase inhibitors was confirmed by their ability to block phosphorylation of the cAMP response element-binding protein. Our results indicate a new signaling action of cAMP, and furnish an important focus for future research into the roles of diphosphorylated inositol phosphates in signal transduction. 相似文献

The cyclic peptide AF17121 (Ac-VDECWRIIASHTWFCAEE) that inhibits interleukin 5 (IL-5) function and IL-5 receptor alpha-chain (IL-5Ralpha) binding has been derived from recombinant random peptide library screening and follow-up synthetic variation. To better understand the structural basis of its antagonist activity, AF17121 and a series of analogs of the parent peptide were prepared by solid phase peptide synthesis. Sequence variation was focused on the charged residues Asp(2), Glu(3), Arg(6), Glu(17), and Glu(18). Two of those residues, Glu(3) and Arg(6), form an EXXR motif that was found to be common among library-derived IL-5 antagonists. The E and R in the EXXR motif have a proximity similar to charged residues in a previously identified receptor alpha binding region, the beta-strand between the C- and D-helices of human IL-5. Optical biosensor interaction kinetics and cell proliferation assays were used to evaluate the antagonist activities of the purified synthetic peptides, by measuring competition with the highly active single chain IL-5. Analogs in which acidic residues (Asp(2), Glu(3), Glu(17), and Glu(18)) were replaced individually by Ala retained substantial competition activity, with multiple replacements in these residues leading to fractional loss of potency at most. In contrast, R6A analogs had strongly reduced competition activity. The results reveal that the arginine residue is crucial for the IL-5Ralpha binding of AF17121, while the acidic residues are not essential though likely complex-stabilizing particularly in the Asp(2)-Glu(3) region. By CD, AF17121 exhibited mostly disordered structure with evidence for a small beta-sheet content, and replacement of the arginine had no influence on the observed secondary structure of the peptides. The dominance of Arg(6) in AF17121 activity corresponds to previous findings of dominance of the positive charge balance in the antiparallel beta-sheet of IL-5 composed of (88)EERRR(92) in one strand of the CD turn region of IL-5 and with Arg(32) in the neighboring beta-strand. These results argue that AF17121 and related library-derived peptides function by mimicking the CD turn receptor alpha recognition epitope in IL-5 and open the way to small molecule antagonist design. 相似文献
