Mechanism of tyrosine hydroxylase activation by phosphorylation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
It was found that the fluorescence of 1,N6-ethenoadenosine triphosphate (ε-ATP) bound to myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) is resistant to quenching by acrylamide, while free ε-ATP is effectively quenched. Thus in the presence of acrylamide the bound ε-ATP is still highly fluorescent, while free ε-ATP is much less fluorescent. The Stern-Volmer constants of bound and free ε-ATP are 6.83 and 57.86 M?1, respectively. Therefore it is easy to distinguish spectro-scopically the nucleotide-ligated S-1 from nucleotide-free S-1. Moreover acrylamide does not alter the S-1-Mg2+-ε-ATPase behavior. 相似文献

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine synthesis. Dopamine regulates TH as an end-product inhibitor through its binding to a high and low affinity site, the former being abolished by Ser40 phosphorylation only, and the latter able to bind and dissociate according to intracellular dopamine levels. Here, we have investigated TH inhibition by a dopamine metabolite found in dopaminergic brain regions, salsolinol (SAL). SAL is known to decrease dopamine in the nigrostriatal pathway and mediobasal hypothalamus, and to also decrease plasma catecholamines in rat stress models, however a target and mechanism for the effects of SAL have not been found. We found that SAL inhibits TH activity in the nanomolar range in vitro, by binding to both the high and low affinity dopamine binding sites. SAL produces the same level of inhibition as dopamine when TH is non-phosphorylated. However, it produces 3.7-fold greater inhibition of Ser40-phosphorylated TH compared to dopamine by competing more strongly with tetrahydrobiopterin, the cofactor of this enzymatic reaction. SAL’s potent inhibition of phosphorylated TH would prevent TH from being fully activated to synthesise dopamine. 相似文献

Ten minutes following the subcutaneous injection of formaldehyde, there is a 2-fold activation of adrenal medulla tyrosine hydroxylase. Enzyme activation appears to involve a shift of a fraction of the low affinity form of the enzyme to a higher affinity form. In the nonstessed rat approximately 29% of adrenal TH is in the activated (low Km) form. Following formaldehyde injection, approximately 54% of the enzyme is in the activated (low Km) form. The addition of cyclic AMP, ATP and Mg++, in the presence of endogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, to the enzyme obtained from adrenals of either the stressed or nonstressed rats increased the activity of both enzyme preparations to the same level. These data indicate that acute stress activates adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase in the rat and that a cyclic AMP-dependent protein phosphorylating system mediates the activation. 相似文献

Inhibitors of phenylalanine hydroxylase and tyrosine hydroxylase were used in the assay of phenylalanine hydroxylase in liver and kidney of rats and mice. Parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA), methyl tyrosine methyl ester and dimethyl tyrosine methyl ester showed 5–15% inhibition while α-methyl tyrosine seemed to inhibit phenylalanine hydroxylase to the extent of 95–98% at concentrations of 5 × 10 −5M –1 × 10 −4M. After a phenylketonuric diet (0.12% PCPA + 3% excess phenylalanine), the liver showed 60% phenylalanine hydroxylase activity and kidney 82% that present in pair-fed normals. Hepatic activity was normal after 8 days refeeding normal diet whereas kidney showed 63% of normal activity. The PCPA-fed animals showed 34% in liver and 38% in kidney as compared to normals; in both cases normal activity was noticed after refeeding. The phenylalanine-fed animals showed activity similar to that seen in phenylketonuric animals. The temporary inducement of phenylketonuria in these animals may be due to a slight change in conformation of the phenylalanine hydroxylase molecule; once the normal diet is resumed, the enzyme reverts back to its active form. This paper also suggests that α-methyl tyrosine when fed in conjunction with the phenylketonuric diet may suppress phenylalanine hydroxylase activity completely in the experimental animals thus yielding normal tyrosine levels as seen in human phenylketonurics. 相似文献

Stimulation of dopamine synthesis and activation of tyrosine hydroxylase by phorbol diesters in rat striatum 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In rat striatal synaptosomes, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), two activators of Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) increased dopamine (DA) synthesis measured by following the release of 14CO2 from L-[1-14C] tyrosine. Maximal stimulation (21-28% increase of basal rate) was produced by 0.5 microM PMA and 1 microM PDBu. 4 beta-Phorbol and 4 beta-phorbol 13-acetate, which are not activators of protein kinase C, were ineffective at 1 microM. PMA did not change the release of 14CO2 from L-[1-14C]DOPA. Addition of 1 mM EGTA to a Ca2+-free incubation medium failed to affect PMA stimulation. KC1 (60 mM) enhanced DA synthesis by 25%. Exposure of synaptosomes to either PMA or PDBu prior to KC1 addition resulted in a more than additive increase (80-100%) of DA synthesis. A similar synergistic effect was observed when the phorbol diesters were combined with either veratridine or d-amphetamine but not with forskolin and dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Pretreatment of striatal synaptosomes with phorbol diesters produced an activation on of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) associated with a 60% increase of the Vmax and a decrease of the Km for the pterine cofactor 6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin. These results indicate that protein kinase C participates in the regulation of striatal TH in situ and that its activation may act synergistically with DA releasing agents in stimulating DA synthesis. 相似文献

Inactivation of tyrosine hydroxylase by reduced pterins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Tyrosine hydroxylase [E.C. 1.14.16.2] is inactivated by incubation with its reduced pterin cofactors L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin, 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin and 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin. Each of the two diastereoisomers of L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin inactivates tyrosine hydroxylase but the natural (6R) form is much more potent than the unnatural (6S) form at equimolar concentrations. The pterin analog 6-methyl-5-deazatetrahydropterin, which has no cofactor activity, also inactivates the enzyme whereas the oxidized pterins 7,8 dihydrobiopterin and biopterin do not. The inactivation process is both temperature and time dependent and results in a reduction of the Vmax for both tetrahydrobiopterin and tyrosine. Neither tyrosine nor oxygen inactivates tyrosine hydroxylase. 相似文献

The effects of basic polypeptides on the activation of adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase by ATP were investigated to show a possible involvement of macromolecular cell components in the regulation of the enzyme activity. Basic polypeptides caused an enhancement of the activation of tyrosine hydroxylase by low concentrations of ATP, and the potentiating effects of these polypeptides were observed to be dependent on their concentrations. Kinetic studies showed that basic polypeptides caused an increase in the Vmax of the ATP-activated enzyme for the cofactor without any change in the Km. These results suggest that basic polypeptides convert the enzyme from a nonsusceptible form to a form susceptible to ATP, thus resulting in the potentiation of the ATP-induced activation. Furthermore, the activation by ATP of tyrosine hydroxylase was not observed after treatment of the enzyme preparation with CM-cellulose, and the responsiveness of the enzyme treated with CM-cellulose to ATP was partially restored by addition of basic polypeptides. These observations suggest the possibility that macromolecular cell components, presumably basic proteins, may be involved in the regulation of the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase through their modulating effects on the sensitivity of the enzyme to ATP within the cell. 相似文献

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is modified by nitration after exposure of mice to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophenylpyridine. The temporal association of tyrosine nitration with inactivation of TH activity in vitro suggests that this covalent post-translational modification is responsible for the in vivo loss of TH function (Ara, J., Przedborski, S., Naini, A. B., Jackson-Lewis, V., Trifiletti, R. R., Horwitz, J., and Ischiropoulos, H. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 95, 7659-7663). Recent data showed that cysteine oxidation rather than tyrosine nitration is responsible for TH inactivation after peroxynitrite exposure in vitro (Kuhn, D. M., Aretha, C. W., and Geddes, T. J. (1999) J. Neurosci. 19, 10289-10294). However, re-examination of the reaction of peroxynitrite with purified TH failed to produce cysteine oxidation but resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in tyrosine nitration and inactivation. Cysteine oxidation is only observed after partial unfolding of the protein. Tyrosine residue 423 and to lesser extent tyrosine residues 428 and 432 are modified by nitration. Mutation of Tyr(423) to Phe resulted in decreased nitration as compared with wild type protein without loss of activity. Stopped-flow experiments reveal a second order rate constant of (3.8 +/- 0.9) x 10(3) m(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C for the reaction of peroxynitrite with TH. Collectively, the data indicate that peroxynitrite reacts with the metal center of the protein and results primarily in the nitration of tyrosine residue 423, which is responsible for the inactivation of TH. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase by calmodulin-dependent multiprotein kinase 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
Tyrosine hydroxylase purified from rat pheochromocytoma was phosphorylated stoichiometrically by either cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase or calmodulin-dependent multiprotein kinase from skeletal muscle, but not by five other protein kinases tested. The activity of tyrosine hydroxylase was elevated 3-fold by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, but no activation was observed after phosphorylation by calmodulin-dependent multiprotein kinase. Phosphorylation produced by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and calmodulin-dependent multiprotein kinase was additive, suggesting different sites of phosphorylation. This was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of tryptic phosphopeptides which demonstrated that the major sites phosphorylated by each protein kinase were distinct. A calmodulin-dependent multiprotein kinase that had identical properties and substrate specificity to the skeletal muscle enzyme was partially purified from rat pheochromocytoma. The possibility that this protein kinase is involved in the regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in adrenergic tissue in vivo is discussed. 相似文献

Inhibition of brain tyrosine hydroxylase by 5-halotryptophans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

These studies were carried out to characterize the activation of rat striatal tyroxine hydroxylase produced by depolarization of the medial forebrain bundle and to evaluate the possible role of cyclic AMP as a mediator of this activation. The enzymatic properties of tyrosine hydroxylase following in vivo depolarization were compared to those produced by treatment of striatal synaptosomes with dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP). Similar effects were observed with regard to enzyme distribution, altered sensitivity to dopamine-induced inhibition, and activity as a function of tyrosine concentration. However, differences between the two treatments were also apparent. First, treatment with dbcAMP shifted the pH optimum from 6.2 to 7.0. In contrast, electrical stimulation decreased the rate of decline in activity as the pH was increased above the optimum, but did not shift the pH optimum. Second, plots of tyrosine hydroxylase activity versus cofactor concentration revealed two enzyme forms for both control and electrically stimulated preparations. However, dbcAMP treatment converted the enzyme to a single high affinity form. These results can be explained by one of the following: (1) cyclic AMP is the sole mediator of enzyme activation, but does not produce a maximally activated enzyme following in vivo depolarization (2) cyclic AMP is only one of several mediators involved or (3) cyclic AMP is not involved in depolarization-induced activation, with activation occurring via the mediation of other intracellular messengers, such as calcium. 相似文献

Our study of tyrosine hydroxylase (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase, EC 1.14.16.2) from rabbit adrenals has identified two major requirements which are likely to be of general application for the optimal purification and recovery of enzyme activity consequent to high-pressure liquid chromatography: (i) recovery of activity is maximized by pretreatment of the high-pressure liquid chromatography column before each use with protein to saturate high affinity, nonspecific sites exposed by the methanol used for washing, and storage of the column. (ii) Both purification and recovery are critically dependent upon the molarity of the mobile phase buffer. Examination of high-pressure liquid chromatography purified rabbit adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase by nondenaturing gel electrophoresis indicated that tyrosine hydroxylase activity was associated with one of the two protein bands in the gel. Thus, the convenient purification procedure described in this report leads to preparative amounts of tyrosine hydroxylase which is approximately 50% homogeneous. 相似文献

Recombinant human tyrosine hydroxylase (hTH1) was found to be phosphorylated by mitogen and stress-activated protein kinase 1 (MSK1) at Ser40 and by p38 regulated/activated kinase (PRAK) on Ser19. Phosphorylation by MSK1 induced an increase in Vmax and a decrease in Km for 6-(R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), while these kinetic parameters were unaffected as a result of phosphorylation by PRAK. Phosphorylation of both Ser40 and Ser19 induced a high-affinity binding of 14-3-3 proteins, but only the interaction of 14-3-3 with Ser19 increased the hTH1 activity. The 14-3-3 proteins also inhibited the rate of dephosphorylation of Ser19 and Ser40 by 82 and 36%, respectively. The phosphorylation of hTH1 on Ser19 caused a threefold increase in the rate of phosphorylation of Ser40. These studies provide new insights into the possible roles of stress-activated protein kinases in the regulation of catecholamine biosynthesis. 相似文献
