Modulation of the substrate specificity of the polycation-stimulated protein phosphatase from Xenopus laevis oocytes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

A polycation-stimulated (PCS) protein phosphatase was isolated in high yield (280 micrograms/100 g ovaries) from Xenopus laevis oocytes through a procedure involving a tyrosine-agarose hydrophobic chromatography. The 220-kDa enzyme contains a 35-kDa and a 62-kDa subunit. It was identified as the low-Mr polycation-stimulated (PCSL) protein phosphatase. The labile p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity, copurifying with the phosphorylase phosphatase activity, can be increased severalfold by preincubating the purified enzyme with ATP, its analogues or PPi. This activation is time-dependent and accompanied by a parallel decrease of the phosphorylase phosphatase activity. Although the stimulation was antagonized by metal ions during the preincubation, the basal and ATP-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ in the assay, with pH optima of 8.5-9 and 7.5 respectively. 相似文献

The predominant form of phosphorylase phosphatase activity in porcine renal cortical extracts was a polycation-stimulated protein phosphatase. This activity was present in extracts in a high-molecular-weight form which could be converted to a free catalytic subunit by treatment with ethanol, urea, or freezing and thawing in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol. The catalytic subunit of the polycation-stimulated phosphatase was purified by chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, heparin-Sepharose, and Sephadex G-75. The phosphatase appeared to be homogeneous on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme had an apparent Mr of 35 000 on gel filtration and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified phosphatase could be stimulated by histone H1, protamine, poly(D-lysine), poly(L-lysine) or polybrene utilizing phosphorylase a as the substrate. It preferentially dephosphorylated the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase. The phosphatase was highly sensitive to inhibition by ATP. These results suggest that the renal polycation-stimulated phosphatase catalytic subunit is very similar to or identical with the skeletal muscle phosphatase form which has been previously designated phosphatase-2Ac. 相似文献

In rabbit skeletal muscle the polycation-stimulated (PCS) protein phosphatases [Merlevede (1985) Adv. Protein Phosphatases 1, 1-18] are the only phosphatases displaying significant activity toward the deinhibitor protein. Among them, the PCSH protein phosphatase represents more than 80% of the measurable deinhibitor phosphatase activity associated with the PCS phosphatases. The deinhibitor phosphatase activity co-purifies with the PCSH phosphatase to apparent homogeneity. In the last purification step two forms of PCSH phosphatase were separated (PCSH1, containing 62, 55 and 34 kDa subunits, and PCSH2, containing 62 and 35 kDa subunits), both showing the same deinhibitor/phosphorylase phosphatase activity ratio. The activity of the PCSH phosphatase toward the deinhibitor is not stimulated by polycations such as protamine, histone H1 or polylysine, unlike the stimulation observed with phosphorylase as the substrate. The phosphorylase phosphatase activity of PCSH phosphatase is inhibited by ATP, PPi and Pi, whereas the deinhibitor phosphatase activity of the enzyme is much less sensitive to these agents. 相似文献

In vivo activation of a microtubule-associated protein kinase during meiotic maturation of the Xenopus oocyte 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

We have characterized a serine/threonine protein kinase from Xenopus metaphase-II-blocked oocytes, which phosphorylates in vitro the microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2). The MAP2 kinase activity, undetectable in prophase oocytes, is activated during the progesterone-induced meiotic maturation (G2-M transition of the cell cycle). p-Nitrophenyl phosphate, a phosphatase inhibitor, is required to prevent spontaneous deactivation of the MAP2 kinase in crude preparations; conversely, the partially purified enzyme can be in vitro deactivated by the low-Mr polycation-stimulated (PCSL) phosphatase (also termed protein phosphatase 2A2), working as a phosphoserine/phosphothreonine-specific phosphatase and not as a phosphotyrosyl phosphatase indicating that phosphorylation of serine/threonine is necessary for its activity. S6 kinase, a protein kinase activated during oocyte maturation which phosphorylates in vitro ribosomal protein S6 and lamin C, can be deactivated in vitro by PCSL phosphatase. S6 kinase from prophase oocytes can also be activated in vitro in fractions known to contain all the factors necessary to convert pre-M-phase-promoting factor (pre-MPF) to MPF. Active MAP2 kinase can activate in vitro the inactive S6 kinase present in prophase oocytes or reactivate S6 kinase previously inactivated in vitro by PCSL phosphatase. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that the MAP2 kinase is a link of the meiosis signalling pathway and is activated by a serine/threonine kinase. This will lead to the regulation of further steps in the cell cycle, such as microtubular reorganisation and S6 kinase activation. 相似文献

Purification and properties of polycation-stimulated phosphorylase phosphatases from rabbit skeletal muscle 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Four types of polycation-stimulated (PCS) phosphorylase phosphatases have been isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle. They are called PCSH (390 kDa), PCSM (250 kDa), and PCSL (200 kDa) phosphatase according to the apparent molecular weight of the native enzymes in gel filtration. Two forms of PCSH phosphatase could be separated by Mono Q fast protein liquid chromatography: PCSH1 and PCSH2. In the absence of polycations, the specific activities of the PCSH1, PCSH2, PCSM, and PCSL phosphatase were 400, 680, 600, and 3000 units/mg, respectively, using phosphorylase a as a substrate. They all contain a 62-65- and a 35-kDa subunit, the latter being the catalytic subunit. In addition PCSH1 phosphatase contains a 55-kDa subunit and the PCSM phosphatase a 72-75-kDa subunit in a substoichiometric ratio. All the PCS phosphatases are insensitive to Ca2+ calmodulin, inhibitor-1, and modulator protein. They display a high specificity for the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase and a broad substrate specificity. The PCSH1 and PCSH2 phosphatases, but not the catalytic subunit (PCSC phosphatase), show a high degree of specificity for the deinhibitor protein. During the purification the phosphorylase to inhibitor-1 phosphatase activity ratio (10:1) remained constant for the PCSH and PCSL enzymes but decreased for the PCSM phosphatase. The stimulation observed with low concentrations of polycations is enzyme directed. The different enzyme forms show a characteristic concentration optimum and degree of stimulation. At higher concentrations, polycations become inhibitory and a time-dependent deactivation of the phosphatases is observed. 相似文献

By use of the autophosphorylated epidermal-growth-factor receptor and the synthetic peptide RRLIE-DAEY(P)AARG, representing an autophosphorylation site of the transforming protein of Rous-sarcoma virus, it is demonstrated that the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity of the polycation-stimulated phosphatases is substantially increased by an enzyme-directed effect of ATP or PPi. Concomitant with this increase in phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity, the phosphorylase phosphatase activity is decreased, thus dramatically changing the substrate specificity of these enzymes. The dephosphorylation of four different phosphotyrosyl sites of the epidermal-growth-factor receptor is neither consecutive nor at random, but a preferred dephosphorylation of the P1 site over the P3 greater than P2 greater than P4 sites is observed. This phosphatase activity represents a substantial fraction of the total phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity in the post-mitochondrial supernatant of Xenopus laevis oocytes. 相似文献

Protein kinase C can autophosphorylate in vitro and has also been shown to be phosphorylated in vivo. In order to investigate the factors that may determine the phosphorylation state of protein kinase C in vivo, we determined the ability of the ATP + Mg2+-dependent phosphatase and the polycation-stimulated (PCS) phosphatases to dephosphorylate protein kinase C in vitro. These studies show that all the oligomeric forms of the PCS phosphatases (PCSH1, PCSH2, PCSM and PCSL phosphatases) are effective in the dephosphorylation of protein kinase C, showing 34-82% of the activity displayed with phosphorylase a as substrate. In contrast both the catalytic subunit of the PCS phosphatase and that of the ATP+Mg2+-dependent phosphatase showed only weak activity with protein kinase C as substrate. All these phosphatases, however, were activated by protamine (Ka 14-16 micrograms/ml) through what appears to be a substrate-directed effect. The relative role of these phosphatases in the control of protein kinase C is discussed. 相似文献

The phosphorylase phosphatase activity of the ATP,Mg-dependent protein phosphatase is stimulated by p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP). All the active forms of this type of enzyme show this property, which seems to be unrelated to any pNPP-hydrolyzing activity. The increase in activity is due to an increase in Vm, the Km being unchanged. The possibility that pNPP acts as a deinhibitor is excluded. pNPP acts as a competitive inhibitor on the phosphorylase phosphatase activity of the different polycation-stimulated protein phosphatases. Stimulation by pNPP can be used as a differential criterion in a specific assay of the active forms of the ATP,Mg-dependent phosphatase. 相似文献

Dephosphorylation of Microtubule Proteins by Brain Protein Phosphatases 1 and 2A, and Its Effect on Microtubule Assembly 总被引:4,自引:9,他引:4

Protein phosphatase C was purified 140-fold from bovine brain with 8% yield using histone H1 phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-kinase). Brain protein phosphatase C was considered to consist of 10 and 90%, respectively, of the catalytic subunits of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A on the basis of the effects of ATP and inhibitor-2. Protein phosphatase C dephosphorylated microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), tau factor, and tubulin phosphorylated by a multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (calmodulin-kinase) and the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-kinase. The properties of dephosphorylation of MAP2, tau factor, and tubulin were compared. The Km values were in the ranges of 1.6-2.7 microM for MAP2 and tau factor. The Km value for tubulin decreased from 25 to 10-12.5 microM in the presence of 1.0 mM Mn2+. No difference in kinetic properties of dephosphorylation was observed between the substrates phosphorylated by the two kinases. Protein phosphatase C did not dephosphorylate the native tubulin, but universally dephosphorylated tubulin phosphorylated by the two kinases. The holoenzyme of protein phosphatase 2A from porcine brain could also dephosphorylate MAP2, tau factor, and tubulin phosphorylated by the two kinases. The phosphorylation of MAP2 and tau factor by calmodulin-kinase separately induced the inhibition of microtubule assembly, and the dephosphorylation by protein phosphatase C removed its inhibitory effect. These data suggest that brain protein phosphatases 1 and 2A are involved in the switch-off mechanism of both Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent and cyclic AMP-dependent regulation of microtubule formation. 相似文献

The inhibitory effect of a marine-sponge toxin, okadaic acid, was examined on type 1, type 2A, type 2B and type 2C protein phosphatases as well as on a polycation-modulated (PCM) phosphatase. Of the protein phosphatases examined, the catalytic subunit of type 2A phosphatase from rabbit skeletal muscle was most potently inhibited. For the phosphorylated myosin light-chain (PMLC) phosphatase activity of the enzyme, the concentration of okadaic acid required to obtain 50% inhibition (ID50) was about 1 nM. The PMLC phosphatase activities of type 1 and PCM phosphatase were also strongly inhibited (ID50 0.1-0.5 microM). The PMCL phosphatase activity of type 2B phosphatase (calcineurin) was inhibited to a lesser extent (ID50 4-5 microM). Similar results were obtained for the phosphorylase a phosphatase activity of type 1 and PCM phosphatases and for the p-nitrophenyl phosphate phosphatase activity of calcineurin. The following phosphatases were not affected by up to 10 microM-okadaic acid: type 2C phosphatase, phosphotyrosyl phosphatase, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate phosphatase, acid phosphatases and alkaline phosphatases. Thus okadaic acid had a relatively high specificity for type 2A, type 1 and PCM phosphatases. Kinetic studies showed that okadaic acid acts as a non-competitive or mixed inhibitor on the okadaic acid-sensitive enzymes. 相似文献

Characterization of glycogen-synthase phosphatase and phosphorylase phosphatase in subcellular liver fractions 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Upon fractionation of a postmitochondrial supernatant from rat liver, the synthase phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.42) activity (assayed at high tissue concentrations) was largely recovered in the glycogen fraction and to a minor extent in the cytosol. In contrast, the phosphorylase phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.17) activity was approximately equally distributed between these two fractions, a lesser amount being recovered in the microsomal fraction. The phosphatase activities in the microsomal and glycogen fractions were almost completely inhibited by a preincubation with the modulator protein, a specific inhibitor of type-1 (ATP,Mg-dependent) protein phosphatases. In the cytosolic fraction, however, type-2A (polycation-stimulated) phosphatase(s) contributed significantly to the dephosphorylation of phosphorylase and of in vitro phosphorylated muscular synthase. Liver synthase b, used as substrate for the measurement of synthase phosphatase throughout this work, was only activated by modulator-sensitive phosphatases. Trypsin treatment of the subcellular fractions resulted in a dramatically increased (up to 1000-fold) sensitivity to modulator, a several-fold increase in phosphorylase phosphatase activity and a complete loss of synthase phosphatase activity. Similar changes occurred during dilution of the glycogen-bound enzyme. A preincubation with the deinhibitor protein, which is known to counteract the effects of inhibitor-1 and modulator, increased several-fold the phosphorylase phosphatase activity, but exclusively in the cytosolic and microsomal fractions. It did not affect the synthase phosphatase activity. Taken together, the results indicate the existence of distinct, multi-subunit type-1 phosphatases in the cytosolic, microsomal and glycogen fractions. 相似文献

Two protein phosphatase activities were characterized in the germinal vesicle of Xenopus laevis oocytes after manual dissection of the nucleus. One enzyme can be classified as an active form of the ATP + Mg-dependent (AMD) phosphatase, the other as a polycation-stimulated (PCS) phosphatase. The activity of the PCS phosphatase is localized exclusively in the soluble compartment of the nucleus (nucleoplasm). The catalytic subunit of the AMD phosphatase activity is associated either with the nuclear particulate fraction or with an inhibitory subunit in the nucleoplasm. 相似文献

Two protein phosphatases were isolated from rat liver nuclei. The enzymes, solubilized from crude chromatin by 1 M NaCl, were resolved by column chromatography on Sephadex G-150, DEAE-Sepharose and heparin-Sepharose. The phosphorylase phosphatase activity of one of the enzymes (inhibitor-sensitive phosphatase) was inhibited by heat-stable phosphatase inhibitor proteins and also by histone H1. This phosphatase had a molecular weight of approx. 35 000 both before and after 4 M urea treatment. Its activity was specific for the β-subunit of phosphorylase kinase. Pretreatment with 0.1 mM ATP inhibited the enzyme only about 10%, and it did not require divalent cations for activity. On the basis of these properties, this nuclear enzyme was identified as the catalytic subunit of phosphatase 1. The other phosphatase (polycation-stimulated phosphatase) was insensitive to inhibition by inhibitor 1, and it was stimulated 10-fold by low concentrations of histone H1 (A0.5 = 0.6 μM). This enzyme had a molecular weight of approx. 70 000 which was reduced to approx. 35 000 after treatment with 4 M urea. It dephosphorylated both the α- and β-subunits of phosphorylase kinase. The enzyme was inhibited more than 90% by preincubation with 0.1 mM ATP and did not require divalent cations for activity. On the basis of these properties, this nuclear enzyme was identified as phosphatase 2A. 相似文献

Three polycation-stimulated (PCSH-, PCSM- and PCSL-) protein phosphatases are characterized by distinct specificities and regulatory properties. The properties of the catalytic subunits obtained from the 3 basic types of PCS phosphatases are apparently identical. The 35 kDa catalytic subunits are insensitive to inhibitor-1 and modulator protein and in contrast with the holoenzymes are less sensitive to stimulation by protamine, displaying a similar degree of stimulation and an identical concentration optimum; preincubation with polycations also results in a time-dependent deactivation. The phosphorylase phosphatase activity of the three catalytic subunits is stimulated to a similar extent by low but comparable concentrations of detergents, but not by metal ions. Upon limited proteolysis by trypsin the basal, but to a lesser extent the polycation-stimulated activity of the holoenzymes and the catalytic subunits is decreased. 相似文献

A phosphoprotein phosphatase which is active against chemically phosphorylated protamine has been purified about 500-fold from bovine adrenal cortex. The enzyme has a pH optimum between 7.5 and 8.0, and has an apparent Km for phosphoprotamine of about 50 muM. The hydrolysis of phosphoprotamine is stimulated by salt, and by Mn2+. Hydrolysis of phosphoprotamine is inhibited by ATP, ADP, AMP, and Pi, but is not affected by AMP or cyclic GMP. The purified phosphoprotein phosphatase preparation also dephosphorylates p-nitrophenyl phosphate and phosphohistone, and catalyzes the inactivation of liver phosphorylase, the inactivation of muscle phosphorylase a (and its conversion to phosphorylase b), and the inactivation of muscle phosphorylase b kinase. Phosphatase activities against phosphoprotamine and muscle phosphorylase a copurify over the last three stages of purification. Phosphoprotamine inhibits phosphorylase phosphatase activity, and muscle phosphorylase a inhibits the dephosphorylation of phosphoprotamine. These results suggest that one enzyme possesses both phosphoprotamine phosphatase and phosphorylase phosphatase activities. The stimulation of phosphorylase phosphatase activity, but not of phosphoprotamine phosphatase activity, by caffeine and by glucose, suggests that the different activities of this phosphoprotein phosphatase may be regulated separately. 相似文献

Characterization of a mitogen-activated, Ca2+-sensitive microtubule-associated protein-2 kinase 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We have previously found that treatment of quiescent mammalian fibroblast cells with several mitogenic factors activates in common a Ca2+-sensitive serine/threonine-specific protein kinase activity toward microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) [Hoshi, M., Nishida, E. and Sakai, H. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 5396-5401]. Here, we characterized the mitogen-activated MAP2 kinase activity in rat 3Y1 cells. The activated kinase activity was detected in the cytosolic fraction but not in the membrane fraction. The inhibitory effect of Ca2+ on the kinase activity was reversible. Kinetic analyses revealed that the apparent Km values of the kinase activity for MAP2 and ATP were 1.6 microM and 30 microM, respectively. Free Ca2+ at 4 microM decreased apparent Vmax values for MAP2 and ATP without changing the apparent Km values. The MAP2 kinase had an apparent molecular mass of about 40 kDa as determined by gel filtration and by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Myelin basic protein as well as MAP2 could serve as good substrates for this kinase, but 40S ribosomal protein S6, casein, histone, phosphorylase b, protamine, tubulin, actin and tau could not. These properties of the enzyme indicate that the Ca2+-sensitive MAP2 kinase may be a previously unidentified enzyme. Down-regulation of protein kinase C by prolonged phorbol ester treatment abolished the MAP2 kinase activation by phorbol ester, but did not prevent the MAP2 kinase activation by epidermal growth factor (EGF) or fresh serum. This suggests that the Ca2+-sensitive MAP2 kinase could be activated through protein-kinase-C-dependent and -independent pathways. Activation of the MAP2 kinase occurred shortly after the addition of EGF or phorbol ester even in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitors (cycloheximide, puromycin and emetin). Moreover, treatment of the EGF- or phorbol-ester-activated MAP2 kinase with acid phosphatase inactivated the kinase activity. Thus, the MAP2 kinase may be activated through phosphorylation. 相似文献

Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the beta light chain of clathrin from rat liver coated vesicles
J E Loeb B Cantournet J P Vartanian J Goris W Merlevede 《European journal of biochemistry》1989,182(1):195-202
The phosphorylation in vitro, on serine residues by endogenous casein kinase 2, of the clathrin beta light chain (33 kDa) of rat liver coated vesicles requires the presence of poly(L-lysine) which acts through binding to the beta light chain. The phosphorylation of other proteins is also increased in the presence of poly(L-lysine) and casein kinase 2. In contrast, the phosphorylation of the upper band of the 50-kDa protein doublet from rat liver coated vesicles is inhibited. Rat liver coated vesicles display a protein phosphatase activity which preferentially dephosphorylates clathrin beta light chain. This activity is different from the protein phosphatase which dephosphorylates the 50-kDa protein. This enzyme seems to be unrelated to the ATP/Mg-dependent protein phosphatase, or the polycation-stimulated protein phosphatases, which dephosphorylate the 50-kDa protein and beta light chain very efficiently, but with a different specificity. After dissociation of coated vesicles the beta-light-chain phosphatase activity is recovered in the membrane fraction. This phosphatase activity is inhibited by 50 microM orthovanadate and 5 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate but not by 10 mM EDTA. 相似文献

Calmodulin-stimulated dephosphorylation of p-nitrophenyl phosphate and free phosphotyrosine by calcineurin 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Calcineurin, a calmodulin-binding protein from brain, has been shown to possess a metal ion-dependent and calmodulin-stimulated phosphatase activity towards phosphorylase kinase and inhibitor-1 (Stewart, A. A., Ingebritsen, T. S., Manalan, A., Klee, C. B., and Cohen, P. (1982) FEBS Lett. 137, 80-84). In this report, we show that calcineurin can also dephosphorylate p-nitrophenyl phosphate and free phosphotyrosine. However, calcineurin does not show significant activity towards phosphothreonine, phosphoserine, or several other low molecular weight phosphocompounds tested. As we have found with phosphorylase kinase and phosphocasein, the dephosphorylation of p-nitrophenyl phosphate and free phosphotyrosine is stimulated by calmodulin and is metal ion-dependent with the order of efficiency being Mn2+ much greater than Co2+ greater than Ca2+. The dephosphorylation of these substrates appears to be an intrinsic property of calcineurin and is not due to contamination by alkaline phosphatases since the pH optimum for calcineurin activity occurs at a neutral rather than an alkaline pH. The dephosphorylation of p-nitrophenyl phosphate provides an easy, rapid, and accurate method for the quantification of calcineurin activity as well as permitting insight into reaction kinetics. The dephosphorylation of free phosphotyrosine by calcineurin suggests that this compound may be a physiological substrate of calcineurin. 相似文献

1. Livers from gsd/gsd rats, which do not express phosphorylase kinase activity, also contain much less particulate type-1 protein phosphatases. In comparison with normal Wistar rats, the glycogen/microsomal fraction contained 75% less glycogen-synthase phosphatase and 60% less phosphorylase phosphatase activity. This was largely due to a lower amount of the type-1 catalytic subunit in the particulate fraction. In the cytosol, the synthase phosphatase activity was also 50% lower, but the phosphorylase phosphatase activity was equal. 2. Both Wistar rats and gsd/gsd rats responded to an intravenous injection of insulin plus glucose with an acute increase (by 30-40%) in the phosphorylase phosphatase activity in the liver cytosol. In contrast, administration of glucagon or vasopressin provoked a rapid fall (by about 25%) in the cytosolic phosphorylase phosphatase activity in Wistar rats, but no change occurred in gsd/gsd rats. 3. Phosphorylase kinase was partially purified from liver and subsequently activated. Addition of a physiological amount of the activated enzyme to a liver cytosol from Wistar rats decreased the V of the phosphorylase phosphatase reaction by half, whereas the non-activated kinase had no effect. The kinase preparations did not change the activity of glycogen-synthase phosphatase, which does not respond to glucagon or vasopressin. Furthermore, the phosphorylase phosphatase activity was not affected by addition of physiological concentrations of homogeneous phosphorylase kinase from skeletal muscle (activated or non-activated). 4. It appears therefore that phosphorylase kinase plays an essential role in the transduction of the effect of glucagon and vasopressin to phosphorylase phosphatase. However, this inhibitory effect either is specific for the hepatic phosphorylase kinase, or is mediated by an unidentified protein that is a specific substrate of phosphorylase kinase. 相似文献

The dephosphorylation of phosphorylase a by the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-1 obtained from rabbit skeletal muscle is inhibited by heparin in a noncompetitive manner with respect to phosphorylase a (Ki = 8 micrograms/ml). The inhibitory effect of heparin is also observed in the presence of effectors (e.g., glucose and AMP) modifying the dephosphorylation of phosphorylase a. Heat-stable protein inhibitors of protein phosphatase-1 can develop their inhibitory effect of the activity of protein phosphatase-1 even in the presence of heparin. The inhibitory effect of heparin and the heat-stable inhibitor-2 of phosphatase is additive. Polybrene, a heparin antagonist, prevented phosphatase-1 from the inhibition caused by heparin or the inhibitors. Proteins with basic character, histone fractions (H1, H3) and protamine sulfate, can counteract with the inhibitory effect of heparin, but they cannot intercept the actions of inhibitor-1 or -2. 相似文献
