Cells transformed by Ras and Raf display dramatic alterations in cell morphology, adhesion, and intracellular architecture. Consequently, we investigated whether Ras or Raf might influence the behavior of proteins known to be involved in the assembly and integrity of focal adhesion complexes that play a crucial role in many of these processes. We identified Raf-induced serine phosphorylation of the adaptor protein paxillin in a variety of cell types. Raf-induced paxillin serine phosphorylation had no effect on paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation and occurred regardless of whether cells were attached or maintained in suspension. Two sites of serine phosphorylation--S126 and S130--were identified. Mutation of these serines to alanine, either alone or in combination, inhibited the ability of Raf to induce paxillin phosphorylation. These data indicate that paxillin is a target for phosphorylation downstream of the Ras-activated Raf-->MEK pathway. However, we have no evidence to suggest that ERK1/2 are the kinases responsible for Raf-induced paxillin phosphorylation. Furthermore, we did not detect any alterations in the binding of paxillin to a number of focal adhesion proteins following either activation of the Raf-->MEK-->ERK pathway or expression of the S126A/S130A form of paxillin in mammalian cells. 相似文献

The present studies demonstrate that matrix Gla protein (MGP), a 10-kDa vitamin K-dependent protein, is phosphorylated at 3 serine residues near its N-terminus. Phosphoserine was identified at residues 3, 6, and 9 of bovine, human, rat, and lamb MGP by N-terminal protein sequencing. All 3 modified serines are in tandemly repeated Ser-X-Glu sequences. Two of the serines phosphorylated in shark MGP, residues 2 and 5, also have glutamate residues in the n + 2 position in tandemly repeated Ser-X-Glu sequences, whereas the third, shark residue 3, would acquire an acidic phosphoserine in the n + 2 position upon phosphorylation of serine 5. The recognition motif found for MGP phosphorylation, Ser-X-Glu/Ser(P), has been seen previously in milk caseins, salivary proteins, and a number of regulatory peptides. A review of the literature has revealed an intriguing dichotomy in the extent of serine phosphorylation among secreted proteins that are phosphorylated at Ser-X-Glu/Ser(P) sequences. Those phosphoproteins secreted into milk or saliva are fully phosphorylated at each target serine, whereas phosphoproteins secreted into the extracellular environment of cells are partially phosphorylated at target serine residues, as we show here for MGP and others have shown for regulatory peptides and the insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1. We propose that the extent of serine phosphorylation regulates the activity of proteins secreted into the extracellular environment of cells, and that partial phosphorylation can therefore be explained by the need to ensure that the phosphoprotein be poised to gain or lose activity with regulated changes in phosphorylation status.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Phosphorylated ribosomal proteins were isolated from Xenopus 40 S ribosomal subunits by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to enable direct analysis of the phosphorylation sites in ribosomal protein S6. Xenopus S6 closely resembled mammalian S6 with respect to the following properties: (i) reversed-phase HPLC elution behavior, (ii) amino-terminal sequence (96% identity in the first 37 residues), and (iii) an identical sequence within the region of its phosphorylation sites. Whereas S6 was the only ribosomal protein phosphorylated in vitro by Xenopus S6 kinase II, ribosomes phosphorylated in vivo were found to be associated with an additional phosphoprotein having an amino-terminal sequence identical to that of the ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal extension protein CEP 80. S6 kinase II phosphorylated at least four sites (serines 1-3 and 5) in the sequence Arg-Arg-Leu-Ser(1)-Ser(2)-Leu-Arg-Ala-Ser(3)-Thr-Ser(4)-Lys-Ser(5)-, which correspond to the residues known to be phosphorylated in the carboxyl-terminal region of mammalian S6. The in vivo S6 phosphorylation sites in maturing Xenopus oocytes were shown to be located within the same cluster of serine residues, although individual sites were not identified. Kinetic analysis of S6 kinase II-catalyzed phosphorylation events indicated a simple sequential mechanism of multisite phosphorylation initiating at either serine 2 (preferred) or serine 1, with the rates of phosphorylation of individual sites occurring in the order serine 2 greater than serine 1 greater than serine 3 greater than serine 5. 相似文献

Gab1 (Grb2-associated binder1) belongs to a family of multifunctional docking proteins that play a central role in the integration of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling, i.e., mediating cellular growth response, transformation, and apoptosis. In addition to RTK-specific tyrosine phosphorylation, these docking proteins also can be phosphorylated on serine/threonine residues affecting signal transduction. Since serine and threonine phosphorylation are capable of modulating the initial signal one major task to elucidate signal transduction via Gab1 is to determine the exact localization of distinct phosphorylation sites. To address this question in this report we examined extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK) specific serine/threonine phosphorylation of the entire Gab1 engaged in insulin signaling in more detail in vitro. To elucidate the ERK1/2-specific phosphorylation pattern of Gab1, we used phosphopeptide mapping by two-dimensional HPLC analysis. Subsequently, phosphorylated serine/threonine residues were identified by sequencing the separated phosphopeptides using matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and Edman degradation. Our results demonstrate that ERK1/2 phosphorylate Gab1 at six serine/threonine residues (T312, S381, S454, T476, S581, S597) in consensus motifs for MAP kinase phosphorylation. Serine residues S454, S581, S597, and threonine residue T476 represent nearly 80% of overall incorporated phosphate. These sites are located adjacent to src homology region-2 (SH2) binding motifs (YVPM-motif: Y447, Y472, Y619) specific for the phosphatidylinositol 3kinase (PI3K). The biological role of identified phosphorylation sites was proven by PI3K and Akt activity in intact cells. These data demonstrate that ERK1/2 modulate insulin action via Gab1 by targeting serine and threonine residues beside YXXM motifs. Accordingly, insulin signaling is blocked at the level of PI3K. 相似文献

Antibodies to assess phosphorylation of spinach leaf nitrate reductase on serine 543 and its binding to 14-3-3 proteins. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To monitor site-specific phosphorylation of spinach leaf nitrate reductase (NR) and binding of the enzyme to 14-3-3 proteins, serum antibodies were raised that select for either serine 543 phospho- or dephospho-NR. The dephospho-specific antibodies blocked NR phosphorylation on serine 543. The phospho-specific antibodies prevented NR binding to 14-3-3s, NR inhibition by 14-3-3s, NR dephosphorylation on serine 543, and did not precipitate 14-3-3s together with NR. Together, this confirms that 14-3-3s bind to NR at hinge 1 after it has been phosphorylated on serine 543. The amounts of individual NR forms were determined in leaf extracts by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. The phosphorylation state of NR on serine 543 increased 2-3-fold in leaves upon a light/ dark transition. Before the transition, one-third of NR was already phosphorylated on serine 543 but was not bound to 14-3-3s. Phosphorylation of serine 543 seems not to be enough to bind to 14-3-3s in leaves. 相似文献

Nitrate reductase (NR) is rapidly inactivated by phosphorylation of serine residues in response to loss of light or reduction in CO2 levels. To identify sites within NR protein that play a role in this post-translational regulation, a heterologous expression system and an in vitro inactivation assay for Arabidopsis NR were developed. Protein extracts containing NR kinases and inhibitor proteins were prepared from an NR-defective mutant that had lesions in both the NIA1 and NIA2 NR genes of Arabidopsis. Active NR protein was produced in a Pichia pastoris expression system. Incubation of these two preparations resulted in a Mg-ATP-dependent inactivation of NR that was reversed with EDTA. Mutant forms of NR were constructed, produced in P. pastoris, and tested in the in vitro inactivation assay. Six conserved serine residues in the hinge 1 region of NR, which separates the molybdenum cofactor and heme domains, were specifically targeted for mutagenesis because they are located in a potential regulatory region identified as a target for NR kinases in spinach. A change in Ser-534 to aspartate was found to block NR inactivation; changes in the other five serines had no effect. The aspartate that replaced Ser-534 did not appear to mimic a phosphorylated serine but simply prevented the NR from being inactivated. These results identify Ser-534, located in the hinge 1 of NR and conserved among higher plants NRs, as an essential site for post-translational regulation in vitro. 相似文献

The lymphocyte-specific protein-tyrosine kinase Lck plays a critical role in T cell activation. In response to T cell antigen receptor binding Lck undergoes phosphorylation on serine residues that include serines 59 and 194. Serine 59 is phosphorylated by ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase. Recently, we showed that in mitotic T cells Lck becomes hyper-phosphorylated on serine residues. In this report, using one-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping analysis, we identify serine 59 as a site of in vivo mitotic phosphorylation in Lck. The mitotic phosphorylation of serine 59 did not require either the catalytic activity or functional SH2 or SH3 domains of Lck. In addition, the presence of ZAP-70 also was dispensable for the phosphorylation of serine 59. Although previous studies demonstrated that serine 59 is a substrate for the ERK MAPK pathway, inhibitors of this pathway did not block the mitotic phosphorylation of serine 59. These results identify serine 59 as a site of mitotic phosphorylation in Lck and suggest that a pathway distinct from that induced by antigen receptor signaling is responsible for its phosphorylation. Thus, the phosphorylation of serine 59 is the result of two distinct signaling pathways, differentially activated in response to the physiological state of the T cell. 相似文献
