As our recent investigation revealed, in mammalian heart muscle, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase)--a key enzyme of glyconeogenesis--is located around the Z-line, inside cells' nuclei and, as we demonstrate here for the first time, it associates with intercalated discs. Since the degree of association of numerous enzymes with subcellular structures depends on the metabolic state of the cell, we studied the effect of elevated Ca2+ concentration on localization of FBPase in cardiomyocytes. In such conditions, FBPase dissociated from the Z-line, but no visible effect on FBPase associated with intercalated discs or on the nuclear localization of the enzyme was observed. Additionally, Ca2+ appeared to be a strong inhibitor of muscle FBPase. 相似文献

It has been recently found that muscle fructose 1,6‐bisphosphatase (FBPase) is actively transported into cells' nuclei. Results of an analysis in silico of muscle FBPase structure gave rise to a hypothesis that sequence 203KKKGK207 is responsible for nuclear targeting of the enzyme. To test this, HL‐1 cardiomyocytes were transfected with FITC‐labeled muscle FBPase constructs, bearing mutations within the putative nuclear localization signal (NLS). Results revealed that integrity of the 203KKKGK207 motif is critical to nuclear targeting of muscle FBPase and even a single amino‐acid change within this sequence results in significant decrease of nuclear accumulation of the enzyme. Although it has long been recognized as a canonical NLS in theoretical and computational research, to the best of our knowledge this is the first experimental evidence confirming that the KKKGK motif can act as a functional NLS in a protein.

To shed some light on gluconeogenesis in mammalian retina, we have focused on fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), a regulatory
enzyme of the process. The abundance of the enzyme within the layers of the rat retina suggests that, in mammals in contrast
to amphibia, gluconeogenesis is not restricted to one specific cell of the retina. We propose that FBPase, in addition to
its gluconeogenic role, participates in the protection of the retina against reactive oxygen species. Additionally, the nuclear
localization of FBPase and of its binding partner, aldolase, in the retinal cells expressing the proliferation marker Ki-67
indicates that these two gluconeogenic enzymes are involved in non-enzymatic nuclear processes. 相似文献

Summary Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) – a key enzyme of gluconeogenesis – for a long time was regarded to be soluble, and freely
diffused in the cytoplasm. Our recent investigation revealed however, that in skeletal muscles of mammals, FBPase is located
on both sides of the Z-line and, in cardiomyocytes, it is also present inside the cells’ nuclei. In the current paper we demonstrate
that, in smooth muscle cells, FBPase is located in the cytoplasm and the nucleus, and that the presence of the enzyme in the
nucleus is almost completely restricted to the heterochromatin area. In search for additional evidence for the nuclear localization
of FBPase and for a possible explanation of its role in the nucleus, we have analyzed the primary structures of muscle FBPases,
finding on their molecular surface a number of domains specific for proteins transported into the nucleus. 相似文献

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase; EC 3.1.3.11) localization in cardiomyocyte nuclei has recently been investigated in mammals [FEBS Lett. 539 (2003) 51]. In this study, nuclear localization of FBPase in the cardiac muscle of the chicken was studied by immunohistochemistry and other methods. A result of the electron microscopic investigation was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis. Using MALDI Q-TOF mass spectrometry and Mascot program, the nuclear FBPase was identified as muscle chicken FBPase. FBPase activity in isolated cardiomyocyte nuclei was 5.9 mU/g. Nuclear FBPase was strongly inhibited by allosteric inhibitor AMP. I(0.5) for AMP was 0.16 microM and was the same as for the purified chicken muscle enzyme. 相似文献

Subcellular localization of muscle FBPase-a regulatory enzyme of glyconeogenesis-was investigated in carp using immunohistochemistry and protein exchange method. Results of the experiments revealed that, in striated muscles, FBPase associates with alpha-actinin of the Z-line and co-localizes with aldolase. Additionally, in cardiac and smooth muscle cells FBPase is present inside the nuclei. In the light of findings on mammalian muscle FBPase, the data presented here indicates that interaction of the enzyme with specific cellular partners and nuclear presence of FBPase is a general phenomenon in contemporary vertebrates. 相似文献

In primary cultured hepatocytes, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) localization is modulated by glucose, dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and insulin. In the absence of these substrates, FBPase was present in the cytoplasm, but the addition of glucose or DHA induced its translocation to the nucleus. As expected, we observed the opposite effect of glucose on glucokinase localization. The addition of insulin in the absence of glucose largely increased the amount of nuclear FBPase. Moreover, at high concentrations of glucose or DHA, FBPase shifted from the cytosol to the cell periphery and co-localized with GS. Interestingly, the synthesis of Glu-6-P and glycogen induced by DHA was not inhibited by insulin. These results indicate that FBPase is involved in glycogen synthesis from gluconeogenic precursors. Overall, these findings show that translocation may be a new integrative mechanism for gluconeogenesis and glyconeogenesis. 相似文献

Using a streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rat model, we analyzed and separated the effects of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia over the in vivo expression and subcellular localization of hepatic fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) in the multicellular context of the liver. Our data showed that FBPase subcellular localization was modulated by the nutritional state in normal but not in diabetic rats. By contrast, the liver zonation was not affected in any condition. In healthy starved rats, FBPase was localized in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, whereas in healthy re-fed rats it was concentrated in the nucleus and the cell periphery. Interestingly, despite the hyperglycemia, FBPase was unable to accumulate in the nucleus in hepatocytes from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, suggesting that insulin is a critical in vivo modulator. This idea was confirmed by exogenous insulin supplementation to diabetic rats, where insulin was able to induce the rapid accumulation of FBPase within the hepatocyte nucleus. Besides, hepatic FBPase was found phosphorylated only in the cytoplasm, suggesting that the phosphorylation state is involved in the nuclear translocation. In conclusion, insulin and not hyperglycemia plays a crucial role in the nuclear accumulation of FBPase in vivo and may be an important regulatory mechanism that could account for the increased endogenous glucose production of liver of diabetic rodents. 相似文献

The importance of renal and hepatic gluconeogenesis in glucose homeostasis is well established, but the cellular localization of the key gluconeogenic enzymes liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) in these organs and the potential contribution of other tissues in this process has not been investigated in detail. Therefore, we analyzed the human tissue localization and cellular distribution of FBPase and PEPCK immunohistochemically. The localization analysis demonstrated that FBPase was expressed in many tissues that had not been previously reported to contain FBPase activity (e.g., prostate, ovary, suprarenal cortex, stomach, and heart). In some multicellular tissues, this enzyme was detected in specialized areas such as epithelial cells of the small intestine and prostate or lung pneumocytes II. Interestingly, FBPase was also present in pancreas and cortex cells of the adrenal gland, organs that are involved in the control of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Although similar results were obtained for PEPCK localization, different expression of this enzyme was observed in pancreas, adrenal gland, and pneumocytes type I. These results show that co-expression of FBPase and PEPCK occurs not only in kidney and liver, but also in a variety of organs such as the small intestine, stomach, adrenal gland, testis, and prostate which might also contribute to gluconeogenesis. Our results are consistent with published data on the expression of glucose-6-phosphatase in the human small intestine, providing evidence that this organ may play an important role in the human glucose homeostasis. 相似文献

Subcellular localization of FBPase, a regulatory enzyme of glyconeogenesis, was examined inside dividing and differentiating satellite cells from rat muscle. In dividing myoblasts, FBPase was located in cytosol and nuclei. When divisions ceased, FBPase became restricted to the cytosolic compartment and finally was found to associate with the Z-lines, as in adult muscle. Moreover, a 12-fold decrease was observed in the number of FBPase-positive nuclei associated with muscle fibres of adult rat, as compared with young muscle, possibly reflecting the reduction in number of active satellite cells during muscle maturation. The data might suggest that FBPase participates in some nuclear processes during development and regeneration of skeletal muscle. 相似文献

Glyconeogenesis, the synthesis of glycogen from carbohydrate precursors like lactate, seems to be an important pathway participating in replenishing glycogen in cardiomyocytes. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), an indispensible enzyme of glyconeogenesis, has been found in cardiomyocytes on the Z-line, in the nuclei and in the intercalated discs. Glyconeogenesis may proceed only when FBPase accumulates on the Z-line. Searching for the mechanism of a FBPase regulation we investigated the effects of the calcium ionophore A23187, a muscle relaxant dantrolene, glucagon, insulin and medium without glucose on the subcellular localization of this enzyme in primary culture of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Immunofluorescence was used for protein localization and the intracellular calcium concentration was measured with Fura. We found that the concentration of calcium ions was the decisive factor determining the localization of muscle FBPase on the Z-line. Calcium ions had no effect on the localization of the enzyme in the intercalated discs or in the nuclei, but accumulation of FBPase in the nuclei was induced by insulin. 相似文献

Chfr, a checkpoint with FHA and RING finger domains, plays an important role in cell cycle progression and tumor suppression.
Chfr possesses the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and stimulates the formation of polyubiquitin chains by Ub-conjugating enzymes,
and induces the proteasome-dependent degradation of a number of cellular proteins, including Plk1 and Aurora A. While Chfr
is a nuclear protein that functions within the cell nucleus, how Chfr is localized in the nucleus has not been clearly demonstrated.
Here, we show that nuclear localization of Chfr is mediated by nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences. To reveal the
signal sequences responsible for nuclear localization, a short lysine-rich stretch (KKK) at amino acid residues 257–259 was
replaced with alanine, which completely abolished nuclear localization. Moreover, we show that nuclear localization of Chfr
is essential for its checkpoint function but not for its stability. Thus, our results suggest that NLS-mediated nuclear localization
of Chfr leads to its accumulation within the nucleus, which may be important in the regulation of Chfr activation and Chfr-mediated
cellular processes, including cell cycle progression and tumor suppression. 相似文献

The Calvin cycle revisited 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Raines CA 《Photosynthesis research》2003,75(1):1-10
The sequence of reactions in the Calvin cycle, and the biochemical characteristics of the enzymes involved, have been known for some time. However, the extent to which any individual enzyme controls the rate of carbon fixation has been a long standing question. Over the last 10 years, antisense transgenic plants have been used as tools to address this and have revealed some unexpected findings about the Calvin cycle. It was shown that under a range of environmental conditions, the level of Rubisco protein had little impact on the control of carbon fixation. In addition, three of the four thioredoxin regulated enzymes, FBPase, PRKase and GAPDH, had negligible control of the cycle. Unexpectedly, non-regulated enzymes catalysing reversible reactions, aldolase and transketolase, both exerted significant control over carbon flux. Furthermore, under a range of growth conditions SBPase was shown to have a significant level of control over the Calvin cycle. These data led to the hypothesis that increasing the amounts of these enzymes may lead to an increase in photosynthetic carbon assimilation. Remarkably, photosynthetic capacity and growth were increased in tobacco plants expressing a bifunctional SBPase/FBPase enzyme. Future work is discussed which will further our understanding of this complex and important pathway, particularly in relation to the mechanisms that regulate and co-ordinate enzyme activity.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protein R (HIV-1 Vpr) promotes nuclear entry of viral nucleic acids in nondividing cells, causes G(2) cell cycle arrest and is involved in cellular differentiation and cell death. Vpr subcellular localization is as variable as its functions. It is known, that consistent with its role in nuclear transport, Vpr localizes to the nuclear envelope of human cells. Further, a reported ion channel activity of Vpr is clearly dependent on its localization in or at membranes. We focused our structural studies on the secondary structure of a peptide consisting of residues 34-51 of HIV-1 Vpr. This part of Vpr plays an important role in Vpr oligomerization, contributes to cell cycle arrest activity, and is essential for virion incorporation and binding to HHR23A, a protein involved in DNA repair. Employing NMR spectroscopy we found this part of Vpr to be almost completely alpha helical in the presence of micelles, as well as in trifluoroethanol containing and methanol/chloroform solvent. Our results provide structural data suggesting residues 34-51 of Vpr to contain an amphipathic, leucine-zipper-like alpha helix, which serves as a basis for oligomerization of Vpr and its interactions with cellular and viral factors involved in subcellular localization and virion incorporation of Vpr. 相似文献

Nucleomorphin (NumA1) is a nucleolar/nucleoplasmic protein linked to cell cycle in Dictyostelium. It interacts with puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase A (PsaA) which in other organisms is a Zn2+-metallopeptidase thought to be involved in cell cycle progression and is involved in several human diseases. Here, we have
shown that Dictyostelium PsaA contains domains characteristic of the M1 family of Zn2+-metallopeptidases: a GAMEN motif and a Zn2+-binding domain. PsaA colocalized with NumA1 in the nucleoplasm in vegetative cells and was also present to a lesser extent
in the cytoplasm. The same localization pattern was observed in cells from slugs, however, in fruiting bodies PsaA was only
detected in spore nuclei. During mitosis PsaA redistributed mainly throughout the cytoplasm. It possesses a functional nuclear
localization signal (680RKRF683) necessary for nuclear entry. To our knowledge, this is the first nuclear localization signal identified in a Psa from any
organism. Treatment with Ca2+ chelators or calmodulin antagonists indicated that neither Ca2+ nor calmodulin is involved in PsaA localization. These results are interpreted in terms of the inter-relationship between
NumA1 and PsaA in cell function in Dictyostelium. 相似文献

Nuclear localization and the heat shock proteins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The highly conserved heat shock proteins (HSP) belong to a subset of cellular proteins that localize to the nucleus. HSPs
are atypical nuclear proteins in that they localize to the nucleus selectively, rather than invariably. Nuclear localization
of HSPs is associated with cell stress and cell growth. This aspect of HSPs is highly conserved with nuclear localization
occurring in response to a wide variety of cell stresses. Nuclear localization is likely important for at least some of the
heat shock proteins’ protective functions; little is known about the function of the heat shock proteins in the nucleus. Nuclear
localization is signalled by the presence of a basic nuclear localization sequence (NLS) within a protein. Though most is
known about HSP 72’s nuclear localization, the NLS(s) has not been definitively identified for any of the heat shock proteins.
Likely more is involved than presence of a NLS; since the heat shock proteins only localize to the nucleus under selective
conditions, nuclear localization must be regulated. HSPs also function as chaperons of nuclear transport, facilitating the
movement of other macromolecules across the nuclear membrane. The mechanisms involved in chaperoning of proteins by HSPs into
the nucleus are still being identified. 相似文献

Inositol polyphosphate 4 phosphatase type I enzyme (INPP4A) has a well-documented function in the cytoplasm where it terminates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) pathway by acting as a negative regulator. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that INPP4A shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Nuclear INPP4A is enzymatically active and in dynamic equilibrium between the nucleus and cytoplasm depending on the cell cycle stage, with highest amounts detected in the nucleus during the G0/G1 phase. Moreover, nuclear INPP4A is found to have direct proliferation suppressive activity. Cells constitutively overexpressing nuclear INPP4A exhibit massive apoptosis. In human tissues as well as cell lines, lower nuclear localization of INPP4A correlate with cancerous growth. Together, our findings suggest that nuclear compartmentalization of INPP4A may be a mechanism to regulate cell cycle progression, proliferation and apoptosis. Our results imply a role for nuclear-localized INPP4A in tumor suppression in humans. 相似文献
