The Effect of Acetic Acid on the Association and the State of the Tyrosine Residue of an Active Fragment of Bovine Growth Hormone

Self-association and the state of a tyrosine residue of the active fragment of bovine growth hormone were investigated by gel filtration and difference spectroscopy with various concentrations of acetic acid. In acetic acid solutions more concentrated than 1.5 m, the active fragment was found to exist as a monomeric form. Decrease in the concentration of acetic acid promoted self-association of the active fragment. Dimeric and trimeric forms were observed in 0.1 m acetic acid. By difference spectroscopy, the tyrosine residue in the active fragment showed a typical blue shift in 2.5 M acetic acid compared to 0.5 M acetic acid. The transition concentration, 1.25 M of acetic acid for the association-dissociation of the fragment was consistent with that for the appearance of the blue shift difference spectrum. It was concluded that a tyrosine residue in the active fragment was exposed on the surface of the fragment molecule in the monomer form and was held between the fragment molecules under conditions in which the active fragment forms dimer and trimer.     

Deficits in the Activation and Phosphorylation of Hippocampal Tyrosine Hydroxylase in the Aged Fischer 344 Rat Following Intraventricular Administration of 6-Hydroxydopamine

Abstract: Tyrosine hydroxylase activity was measured under optimal and suboptimal assay conditions in hippocampal extracts from young (2 month), mature (12 month), and old (24 month) Fischer 344 male rats 72 h after the infusion of 200 µg of the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine or vehicle into the lateral ventricle. The lesion resulted in a 45–55% decrease of tyrosine hydroxylase activity measured under optimal conditions (pH 6.1, 3.0 m M 6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin) and an ∼35% decrease in the relative concentration of immunoreactive tyrosine hydroxylase. When measured under suboptimal conditions (pH 6.6, 0.7 m M 6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin), tyrosine hydroxylase activity in 2- and 12-month-old lesioned animals was twice that measured in vehicle-treated animals. However, in the old lesioned animals, tyrosine hydroxylase activity measured under suboptimal conditions was not different from that measured in age-matched vehicle-treated animals. Isoforms of tyrosine hydroxylase were identified on immunoblots after two-dimensional gel electrophoresis using enhanced chemiluminescence. The relative proportion of lower pl isoforms of tyrosine hydroxylase in the 2-month-old lesioned animals was greater than that observed in vehicle-treated controls. In contrast, no difference was seen in the relative proportion of tyrosine hydroxylase isoforms in the 24-month-old lesioned versus control animals. These data indicate that the ability of locus ceruleus neurons to rapidly respond to and compensate for insult is attenuated in 24-month-old Fischer 344 rats due to a deficit in stimulus-evoked enzyme phosphorylation.

Kinetic properties of tyrosine hydroxylase with natural tetrahydrobiopterin as cofactor

A reproducible purification procedure of native tyrosine hydroxylase (L-tyrosine, tetrahydropteridine : oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating), EC 1.14.16.2) from the soluble fraction of the bovine adrenal medulla has been established. This procedure accomplished a 90-fold purification with a recovery of 30% of the activity. This purified enzyme served for studying the kinetic properties of tyrosine hydroxylase using (6R)-L-erythro-1',2'-dihydroxypropyltetrahydropterin [(6R)-L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin] as cofactor, which is supposed to be a natural cofactor. Two different Km values for tyrosine, oxygen and natural (6R)-L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin itself were obtained depending on the concentration of the tetrahydrobiopterin cofactor. In contrast, when unnatural (6S)-L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin was used as cofactor, a single Km value for each tyrosine, oxygen and the cofactor was obtained independent of the cofactor concentration. The lower Km value for (6R)-L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin was close to the tetrahydrobiopterin concentration in tissue, indicating a high affinity of the enzyme to the natural cofactor under the in vivo conditions. Tyrosine was inhibitory at 100 microM with (6R)-L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin as cofactor, and the inhibition by tyrosine was dependent on the concentrations of both pterin cofactor and oxygen. Oxygen at concentrations higher than 4.8% was also inhibitory with (6R)-L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin as cofactor.     

Optimum melanin production using recombinant Escherichia coli

AIMS: A parametric study was conducted to define optimum conditions to achieve high yields in the conversion of tyrosine to eumelanin (EuMel) using recombinant Escherichia coli. METHODS AND RESULTS: Escherichia coli W3110 (pTrcMutmelA) expressing the tyrosinase coding gene from Rhizobium etli and glucose-mineral media were used to transform tyrosine into EuMel. Batch aerobic fermentor cultures were performed to study the effect of temperature, pH and inducer concentration (isopropyl-D-thio-galactopyranoside) on melanin production. Under optimum conditions, 0.1 mmol l(-1) of isopropyl-D-thio-galactopyranoside, temperature of 30 degrees C, and changing pH from 7.0 to 7.5 during the production phase, a 100% conversion of tyrosine into EuMel is obtained. Furthermore, tyrosine feeding allowed us to obtain the highest level (6 g l(-1)) of EuMel produced by recombinant E. coli reported until now. CONCLUSIONS: The most important factors affecting melanin formation and hence influencing the rate and efficiency in the conversion of tyrosine into EuMel in this system, are the temperature and pH. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Maximum theoretical yield was obtained using a simple culture process and mineral media to convert tyrosine (a medium value compound) into melanin, a high value compound. The process reported here avoids the use of purified tyrosinase, expensive chemical methods or the cumbersome extraction of this polymer from animal or plant tissues.     

Response of vasopressin and tyrosine hydroxylase expressing neurons of the rat supraoptic nucleus to chronic osmotic stimulation]

This study has evaluated the dynamic of intracellular vasopressin and tyrosine hydroxylase contents in the neuron cell bodies in the supraoptic nucleus and in the axons of the posterior lobe in rats drinking 2% NaCl for 1, 2, and 3 weeks. The number of vasopressin-immunoreactive neurons increased by the end of the second week of osmotic stimulation that might be explained by the onset of vasopressin synthesis in the neurons which do not synthesize this neurohormone under normal physiological conditions. The concentration of vasopressin fell down continuously during the first two weeks of salt-loading, apparently, due to predominance of the vasopressin release over its synthesis. Over the third week of salt-loading, the intracellular concentration of vasopressin was not changed significantly suggesting the establishment of the dynamic equilibrium between the vasopressin synthesis and release. The number of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive neurons and the amount of tyrosine hydroxylase in cell bodies and the large axonal swellings, Herring bodies, increased gradually showing that the rate of tyrosine hydroxylase synthesis prevailed over that of its enzymatic degradation. Thus, the chronic stimulation of vasopressin neurons is accompanied by a number of the adaptive reactions; the most important is related to the onset of vasopressin and tyrosine hydroxylase synthesis in the neurons which do not synthetize both of them under normal conditions.     

Properties of stearylamine liposomes containing tyrosine phenol-lyase

The activity of tyrosine phenol-layse a chemotherapeutic enzyme with a dissociable pyridoxal phosphate cofactor, was studied after incorporation into multilamellar positively charged liposomes. Tyrosine phenol-lyase activity was assessed in the presence and absence of exogenous pyridoxal phosphate. A maximum of 75% total enzyme activity was associated with liposomes when prepared from a molar lipid ratio of egg lecithin, cholesterol, stearylamine (7 : 2 : 1, w/w). The total tyrosine phenol-lyase activity was comprised of 25% membrane-associated enzyme and 50% encapsulated enzyme. Encapsulation increased the stability of the enzyme under the in vitro conditions of cold storage at 4°C for 3 weeks and under elevated temperatures up to 61°C. Liposomal encapsulation afforded little protection against trypsin and no protection against whole mouse plasma in vitro. Heat-treated plasma (100°C for 1 h) had little effect on the activity of free and encapsulated tyrosine phenol-lyase. These results indicated that whole plasma contained a heat-labile factor(s) which destroyed both the liposomal and free tyrosine phenol-lyase activity. Plasma clearance after intraperitoneal injection of tyrosine phenol-lyase in B6D2F₁ female mice was reduced by liposomal encapsulation, particularly when the animals were pre-treated with empty liposomes; however, only a small proportion of free and liposomal tyrosine phenol-lyase was absorbed. The free enzyme rapidly lost holoenzyme activity after absorption but the liposomes maintained holoenzyme activity. Even though liposomes preserved holo-tyrosine phenol-lyase activity, the holoenzyme was not present in sufficient concentration to sustain a reduced plasma tyrosine level.     

Tyrosine kinase inhibition effects of novel Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines ligand: Synthesis,biological screening and molecular modeling studies

Tyrosine kinases are one of the most critical mediators in the signaling path way. Late studies have proved the part of tyrosine kinases in the pathophysiology of cancer diseases. This current research paper has focused on investigating the novel Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines as a small molecules that can inhibit tyrosine kinase in cancer cells. NCI protocol was applied to test the antitumor activity of such compounds. Leukemia and renal cancer cell lines proved to be sensitive to some derivatives such as 6b–d, 9a and 11 with GI% values ranging from 30.4 to 41.3%. In addition, compound 11 proved to be the most active against MCF-7 with GI% 62.5. The synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their inhibitory effects against EGFR kinase enzyme. Compound 9b proved to be the most active one among the synthesized series with inhibition % value of 81.72 at 25 nM concentration and IC₅₀ 8.4 nM which is very close to the reference drug Sorafenib. In vitro cytotoxicity test was also performed using the MCF-7 breast cell line. Computer modeling using the active site of tyrosine kinase as a template and the most active tyrosine kinase inhibitors were calculated. Docking studies of the synthesized compounds into the active site of EGFR kinase domain showed good agreement with the obtained biological results.     

Transport of Aromatic Amino Acids by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Kinetic studies of the transport of aromatic amino acids by Pseudomonas aeruginosa revealed the existence of two high-affinity transport systems which recognized the three aromatic amino acids. From competition data and studies on the exchange of preformed aromatic amino acid pools, the first transport system was found to be functional with phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan (in order of decreasing activity), whereas the second system was active with tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine. The two systems also transported a number of aromatic amino acid analogues but not other amino acids. Mutants defective in each of the two and in both transport systems were isolated and described. When the amino acids were added at low external concentrations to cells growing logarithmically in glucose minimal medium, the tryptophan pool very quickly became saturated. Under identical conditions, phenylalanine and tyrosine each accumulated in the intracellular pool of P. aeruginosa at a concentration which was 10 times greater than that of tryptophan.     

Dynamic quantification of the tyrosine phosphorylation of the sperm surface proteins during capacitation.

BACKGROUND: Spermatozoa acquire active fertilizing competence only after deposition in the female tract and subsequent capacitation. Recent studies on the cellular location of major sperm phosphoproteins suggest that capacitation is associated with tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins exposed on the sperm surface. However, these changes have not yet been quantified objectively. A calcium influx seems to be required for the completion of tyrosine phosphorylation in some species; however, the exact temporal coordination between these processes is still poorly understood. METHODS: Flow cytometry was used to quantify the degree of phosphorylation of the sperm surface proteins by probing with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated anti-phosphotyrosine (pY) antibody raised in mouse. Dynamic changes in other sperm parameters (calcium influx, membrane integrity, and spontaneous acrosome reaction) were assessed to analyze their temporal coordination. RESULTS:: The changes in specific phosphotyrosine (pY) fluorescence signal detected in live, nonpermeabilized boar cell suspensions were biphasic during incubation under capacitating conditions. After 120 min of incubation, the degree of pY fluorescence increased threefold, indicating the changes in proteins exposed on sperm surface. At the same time there was a gradual increase in cytosolic calcium ion levels with the maximal rate at 60 min of incubation. This rate slowed immediately before the onset of the massive rise in tyrosine phosphorylation and decreased by 90% after its completion. The integrity of plasma and acrosome membranes decreased only slowly, illustrating that the changes observed were not due to the process of spontaneous acrosome reaction. CONCLUSIONS: These data provide quantitative evidence for the appearance of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins on the surface of live boar spermatozoa during capacitation. An exact temporal coordination exists between cytosolic calcium ion content and protein tyrosine phosphorylation under these conditions. This novel approach has the advantage of making possible a precise quantification and kinetic comparison of molecular processes in different cell subpopulations.
