Na,K-ATPase: Isoform structure,function, and expression 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Jerry B. Lingrel 《Journal of bioenergetics and biomembranes》1992,24(3):263-270
An interesting feature of the Na,K-ATPase is the multiplicity of and isoforms. Three isoforms exist for the subunit, 1, 2, and 3, as well for the subunit, 1, 2, and 3. The functional significance of these isoforms is unknown, but they are expressed in a tissue- and developmental-specific manner. For example, all three isoforms of the subunit are present in the brain, while only 1 is present in kidney and lung, and 2 represents the major isoform in skeletal muscle. Therefore, it is possible that each of these isoforms confers different properties on the Na,K-ATPase which allows effective coupling to the physiological process for which it provides energy in the form of an ion gradient. It is also possible that the multiple isoforms are the result of gene triplication and that each isoform exhibits similar enzymatic properties. In this case, the expression of the triplicated genes would be individually regulated to provide the appropriate amount of Na,K-ATPase to the particular tissue and at specific times of development. While differences are observed in such parameters as Na+ affinity and sensitivity to cardiac glycosides, it is not known if these properties play a functional role within the cell.Site-directed mutagenesis has identified amino acid residues in the first extracellular region of the subunit as major determinants in the differential sensitivity to cardiac glycosides. Similar studies have failed to identify residues in the second extracellular region involved in cardiac glycoside inhibition. Further analysis of the enzymatic properties of the enzyme, understanding the regulated expression of the genes, and structure-function studies utilizing site-directed mutagenesis should provide new insights into the enzymatic and physiological roles of the various subunit isoforms of the Na,K-ATPase. 相似文献

Aeromonas salmonicida variants were characterized for alterations in their cell surface structure and used to examine reconstitution of the surface protein layer (A-layer). Variants lacking outer membrane O-polysaccharide were devoid of A-layer and excreted stainable floret-like material of the surface protein (A-protein). One variant, showing partial loss of O-polysaccharide, was associated with a disrupted A-layer and excretion of some A-protein. Variants lacking A-protein but possessing O-polysaccharide rapidly absorbed and concentrated sufficient excreted A-protein at the cell surface to coat the cells with a single confluent layer. Although differences in electrophoretic mobilities of A-proteins and O-polysaccharides from typical and atypical strains were evident, the different A-proteins and A-protein-deficient variants were interchangeable for reconstitution of a surface protein layer. No association of A-protein with cell surfaces of unrelated gram-negative bacteria was observed.Abbreviations A-layer

DNA polymerases II () and III() are the only nuclear DNA polymerases known to possess an intrinsic 3 5 exonuclease in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have investigated the spontaneous mutator phenotypes of DNA polymerase and 3 5 exonuclease-deficient mutants, pol3-01 and pol2-4, respectively. pol3-01 and pol2-4 increased spontaneous mutation rates by factors of the order of 102 and 101, respectively, measured as URA3 forward mutation and his7-2 reversion. Surprisingly, a double mutant pol2-4 pol3-01 haploid was inviable. This was probably due to accumulation of unedited errors, since a pol2-4/pol2-4 pol3-01/pol3-01 diploid was viable, with the spontaneous his7-2 reversion rate increased by about 2 × 103-fold. Analysis of mutation rates of double mutants indicated that the 3 5 exonucleases of DNA polymerases and can act competitively and that, like the 3 5 exonuclease of DNA polymerase the 3 5 exonuclease of DNA polymerase acts in series with the PMS1 mismatch correction system. Mutational spectra at a URA3 gene placed in both orientations near to a defined replication origin provided evidence that the 3 5 exonucleases of DNA polymerases and act on opposite DNA strands, but were in sufficient to distinguish conclusively between different models of DNA replication. 相似文献

Interaction of Na,K-ATPase Catalytic Subunit with Cellular Proteins and Other Endogenous Regulators 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Some mechanisms of regulation of Na,K-ATPase activity in various tissues including the phosphorylation of the catalytic subunit of the enzyme by different protein kinases (PKA, PKC, and tyrosine kinase) and the interaction of the -subunit with different proteins (Na,K-ATPase - and -subunits, ankyrin, phosphoinositide-3 kinase, and AP-2 protein) and endogenous digitalis-like factors are considered. Special attention is given to the search for possible protein-partners including melittin-like protein and to the mechanism of enzyme regulation connected with the change of Na,K-ATPase quaternary structure. A recently discovered role of Na,K-ATPase as a receptor providing signal transduction inside the cell not only by changing the concentration of biologically significant cations but also using direct interaction of the enzyme with the protein-partners is discussed. 相似文献

Incubation of -lactoglobulin with immobilized trypsin at 5–10°C results in a time-dependent release of several fragments of the core domain in yields approaching 15%. Digests were fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography with a Mono Q HR5/5 column and analyzed after disulfide reduction by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecylsulfate. Three fragments with approximate molecular weights of 13.8, 9.6, and 6.7 kD were identified. The fraction from ion-exchange chromatography yielding the 6.7 kD fraction after disulfide reduction was further characterized because it was most homogeneous and gave the highest yield. The C-terminal cleavage site of the 6.7 kD core fragment appeared to be Lys100 or Lys101 as determined by C-terminal amino acid analysis. The exact masses, after reduction with dithiothreitol, are 6195 and 6926 as determined by laser desorption mass spectrometry, corresponding to residues 48–101 and 41–100. Prior to reduction, -lactoglobulin C-terminal residues 149–162 are connected to these core domain fragments as shown by C-terminal analysis and mass spectrometry. Structural studies indicate that these 7.9 and 8.6 kD core domain fragments released by immobilized trypsin retain much of their native structure. CD spectra indicate the presence of antiparallel -sheet structure similar to the native protein but the -helix is lost. Spectra in the aromatic region indicate the existence of tertiary structure. Moreover, structural transitions in urea are completely reversible as measured by CD spectra, although the extrapolated G

and the urea concentration at the transition midpoint are lower than for the native protein. The core domain fragments also display apH-dependent binding to immobilizedtrans-retinal as does intact protein. A single endotherm is obtained for both core domain fragments and native protein upon differential scanning calorimetry, but again, the domain is less stable as indicated by a transition peak maxima of 56.9°C as compared with 81.1°C for native protein.Abbreviations used: CD, circular dichroism; CPG, controlled pore glass; DSC, differential scanning calorimetry; DTT, dithiothreitol; FPLC, fast flow liquid chromatography; HPLC, high-performance liquid chromatography; PITC, phenylisothiocyanate; SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; TEA, triethylamine; UV, ultraviolet. 相似文献

Summary 2-Amino-2-deoxyuridine reacts efficiently with nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides in aqueous solution. The dinucleoside monophosphate analogues were obtained in yields exceeding 80% under conditions in which little reaction occurs with the natural nucleosides.In a similar way, the 5-phosphorimidazolide of 2-amino-2-deoxyuridine undergoes self-condensation in aqueous solution to give a complex mixture of oligomers.The phosphoramidate bond in the dinucleoside monophosphate analogues is stable for several days at room temperature and pH 7. The mechanisms of their hydrolysis under acidic and alkaline conditions are described.Abbreviations A

Analysis of starch-degrading enzymes in a crude extract of detached cotyledons of Pisum sativum L. by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) demonstrated the presence of one band of -amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) activity. The activity of only this amylase was promoted in cotyledons incubated with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The auxin-induced -amylase from pea cotyledons was purified to homogeneity, as judged by the criterion of a single band after PAGE. The relative molecular mass (Mr), estimated by gel filtration, was approx. 42 000 and the enzyme contained no carbohydrate moiety. Sodium dodecylsulfate-PAGE yielded a single band that corresponded to an Mr of 41 000. The isoelectric point was 5.85 and the aminoacid composition was similar to that of -amylase from other plants. When [3H]leucine was fed to detached dry cotyledons prior to incubation, the radioactivity in -amylase from cotyledons incubated in the presence of 2,4-D was found to be approx. 10-fold higher than that from cotyledons incubated in distilled water. When -amylase from cotyledons incubated with 2H2O that contained 2,4-D and the tritiated amylase were centrifuged together in a CsCl density gradient, the peak of enzymatic activity of deuterated -amylase was shifted to a denser fraction than the peak of radioactivity of the tritiated enzyme. These results show that auxin-induced -amylase in pea cotyledons is synthesized de novo.Abbreviations 2,4-D

Summary The BSG test was used in a comparative study of the linear chromosome differentiation and the idiograms of T. Macha ssp. tubalicum v. letschchumicum Dek. et Men., T. georgicum Dek., T. timopheevi. Zhuk., T. carthlicum Nevski, T. dicoccum Schrank, v. rufum, T. durum Desf. v. Arnautka were compiled.The karyotype of each polyploid wheat species consists of two groups of chromosomes. The first is formed by ten pairs of constant chromosomes occurring almost in all species and the second by all the rest of the variable chromosomes that are either fully specific for the species in question or occur only in a few species. T. timopheevi largely differs from other species of polyploid wheats in the high level and specific localization of structural heterochromatin on chromosomes. The rols of introgression in wheat evolution and the necessity of establishing a General Cytological Nomenclature of Cereal Chromosomes are discussed. 相似文献

The effect of paclobutrazol on in vitro rooting and growth of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) rootstock CAB 11E clone, of S 749 × S 1490 (Prunus persica × Prunus kansuensis) hybrid rootstock, and of pear (Pyrus communis), cv. Abbé Fetel is reported.PP333 increased rooting of S 749 × S 1490 and of Abbé Fetel, particularly at a concentration of 0.5 mg/l (a.i.); moreover, it induced a rooting percentage as high as auxin in the former and hastened rooting of the latter. By contrast, paclobutrazol did not affect root production of 11 E.PP333-treated plants had shorter and thicker roots than controls but similar survival rates during acclimatization. Otherwise they grew less than controls during the first part of the acclimatization phase.Abbreviations used in text and tables BA =

Larval and adult Ambystoma tigrinum were subjected to acidosis by infusing lactic acid (2 M·g-1) into the peritoneal cavity. Blood was sampled at intervals to establish the time-course of the ensuing acidosis. Both larvae and adults became significantly acidotic after 1 h. The larval acidosis was more pronounced (-4 pH units versus-2 pH units) than adults due to greater extracellular buffering capacity (higher [HCO3
-]) in adults. Both forms recovered in about 8 h. Larvae showed a typical increase in circulating norepinephrine during the initial stages of the acidosis; adults did not, having significantly lower norepinephrine titer than larvae during the acidosis. Both larvae and adults showed transient increases in PO2 during the acidosis. The 1 and 2 antagonists, timolol and butoxamine respectively, (0.2 g·g-1) were administered to separate groups of larvae. Butoxamine (2) delayed the recovery from the acidosis by prolonging the increase in arterial PCO2 and reversing the recovery of [HCO3
-]. Timolol (1) did not delay recovery. We conclude that 2 receptors are involved in the catecholamine responses to acidosis in larvae. Catecholamines appear not to play the same role in adult acid-base disturbances as they seem to in larvae.Abbreviations RBC

Cells of the slime strain of Neurospora crassa synthesize a coherent extracellular material which remains attached to the cell surface, but is released into the liquid medium by shaking. The material was purified and studied by different criteria. By electron microscopy it appears as long wavy sheets which strongly bind concanavalin A, but not wheat germ agglutinin, and maintain their integrity in the absence of structural polysaccharides. Analysis of the purified material revealed that it was free of contaminating membranes; it contained more than 70% protein, 1% neutral sugars (glucose, mannose, fucose and galactose), less than 2% lipids and ca. 4% not-characterized hexosaminelike compounds. Its polypeptide pattern as determined by PAGE was complex. The significance of this material is discussed.Abbreviations used Au-WGA

The relative contributions made by the l-arginine/agmatine/N-carbamoylputrescine/putrescine and the l-ornithine/putrescine pathways to hyoscyamine formation have been investigated in a transformed root culture of Datura stramonium. The activity of either arginine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.19) or ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17) was suppressed in vivo by using the specific irreversible inhibitors of these activities, dl--difluoromethylarginine or dl--difluoromethylornithine, respectively. It was found that suppression of arginine decarboxylase resulted in a severe decrease in free and conjugated putrescine and in the putrescine-derived intermediates of hyoscyamine biosynthesis. In contrast, the suppression of ornithine decarboxylase activity stimulated an elevation of arginine decarboxylase and minimal loss of metabolites from the amine and alkaloid pools. The stimulation of arginine decarboxylase was not, however, sufficient to maintain the same potential rate of putrescine biosynthesis as in control tissue. It is concluded that (i) in Datura the two routes by which putrescine may be formed do not act in isolation from one another, (ii) arginine decarboxylase is the more important activity for hyoscyamine formation, and (iii) the formation of polyamines is favoured over the biosynthesis of tropane alkaloids. An interaction between putrescine metabolism and other amines is also indicated from a stimulation of tyramine accumulation seen at high levels of dl--difluoromethylornithine.Abbreviations ADC

Differential molecular responses to abscisic acid and osmotic stress in viviparous maize embryos 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Substantial quantities of mRNA encoding the abundant Em polypeptide accumulate, in planta, in developing embryos of maize (Zea mays L.). By contrast, accumulation of Em mRNA is only barely detectable in embryos with the vp-5/vp-5 genotype [an abscisic acid (ABA)-deficient viviparous phenotype]. Em mRNA is not detectable within viviparous embryos of the vp-1/vp-1 genotype that are non-responsive to ABA. Culture of immature wild-type and vp-5/vp-5 embryos in the presence of exogenous ABA or of an osmotically active agent prevents precocious germination and results in expression of the Em genes. When vp-1/vp-1 embryos are cultured under similar conditions, only the application of osmotic stress prevents precocious germination. However, Em mRNA does not accumulate either in ABA-treated or stressed, arrested embryos, indicating a requirement for ABA perception through a VP-1-mediated mechanism for Em gene expression. Nevertheless, vp-1/vp-1 embryos do show both ABA and stress responses at the molecular level. Treatment with ABA causes the accumulation of mRNA encoding a polypeptide of approx. 30 kDa, whilst osmotic stress induces the accumulation both of a 30-kDa polypeptide and a set of approx. 20-kDa polypeptides. This indicates the existence of discrete, parallel ABA and stress response pathways in developing maize embryos.Abbreviations ABA

Summary Nonstationary electric currents are described which are generated by the Na,K-pump. Flat membrane sheets 0.2–1 m in diameter containing a high density of oriented N,K-ATPase molecules are bound to a planar lipid bilayer acting as a capacitive electrode. In the aqueous phase adjacent to the bound membrane sheets, ATP is released within milliseconds from an inactive, photolabile precursor (caged ATP) by an intense flash of light. After the ATP-concentration jump, transient current and voltage signals can be recorded in the external circuit corresponding to a translocation of positive charge across the pump protein from the cytoplasmic to the extracellular side. These electrical signals which can be suppressed by inhibitors of the Na,K-ATPase require the presence of Na+ but not of K+ in the aqueous medium. The intrinsic pump currentI
p
(t) can be evaluated from the recorded current signal, using estimated values of the circuit parameters of the compound membrane system.I
p
(t) exhibits a biphasic behavior with a fast rising period, followed by a slower decline towards a small quasistationary current. The time constant of the rising phase ofI
p
(t) is found to depend on the rate of photochemical ATP release. Further information on the microscopic orgin of the current transient can be obtained by double-flash experiments and by chymotrypsin modification of the protein. These and other experiments indicate that the observed charge-translocation is associated with early events in the normal transport cycle. After activation by ATP, the pump goes through the first steps of the cycle and then enters a long-lived state from which return to the initial state is slow. 相似文献

The understanding of cartilage disorders relies on the possibility of studying mechanisms which monitor the regulation of matrix protein genes through introducing efficiently and in a reproducible manner these genes, or their regulatory regions, into cells. To this end, we attempted to improve the transfection efficiency of rabbit articular chondrocytes by the calcium phosphate procedure. Transfection efficiencies were assessed by measuring the expression of the Lac Z reporter gene encoding -galactosidase using anin situ staining (X-gal staining) and an enzymatic assay (-galactosidase assay).Results revealed that addition of 4 U ml–1 of hyaluronidase before and during transfection increases by 2 to 4-fold the transfection efficiency of rabbit articular chondrocytes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the use of a giant calcium phosphate DNA coprecipitate gives a higher transfection efficiency and much more reproducible results than those obtained with classical small volumes of precipitates.Abbreviations CPRG

Bacteria, yeasts, and molds which grew in a medium containing a synthetic lignin — a dehydrogenation polymer (DHP) of coniferyl alcohol — as a sole carbon source, were isolated from soil. One fungus, Fusarium solani M-13-1, was found to degrade the DHP most vigorously among the isolated organisms. It was shake-cultured in a medium containing dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DHCA) (I), an important lignin model compound, and the following six metabolic products were isolated and identified: 1) Phenylcoumaran--aldehydic (II) and -carboxylic compounds, 2) phenylcoumaran--aldehydic compound (IV), formed by release of a 2-carbon fragment from the phenylcoumaran--carboxylic compound, 3) 5-acetylvanillyl alcohol (V), formed by cleavage of the coumaran ring and reduction of the -aldehyde group, 4) 5-carboxyvanillyl alcohol (VI), formed by subsequent oxidation of the acetyl group, and 5) the -ether of DHCA (VII), considered to be a by-product. A degradation pathway for DHCA was proposed on the basis of these metabolic products.Non-Standard Abbreviations DHP

We report the cloning of a cDNA and two corresponding -globin genes of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) as well as two genes for -globins. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cDNA shows that the predicted -globin peptide comprises 148 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 16,127 Da and an overall amino acid similarity of 40–50% to higher vertebrates and 60–90% to fish sequences. The study of the genomic organization of - and -globin genes shows that, as is the case in Xenopus, the salmon genes are adjacent. Two sets of linked - and -globin genes were isolated and restriction-enzyme polymorphisms indicate that they belong to two distinct loci, possibly as a result of the salmon tetraploidy. In each locus the - and -globin genes are oriented 3 to 3 relative to each other with the RNA coding sequences located on opposite DNA strands. This is the first evidence for this type of arrangement found for globin genes. Moreover, while the linkage found in salmon and Xenopus supports the hypothesis of an initial tandem duplication of a globin ancestor gene, our results raise the question of the actual original orientation of the duplicated genes.

Gal1-3GlcNAc (1) and Gal1-3GlcNAc-SEt (2) were synthesized on a 100 mg scale by the transgalactosylation reaction of bovine testes -galactosidase with lactose as donor andN-acetylglucosamine and GlcNAc-SEt as acceptors. In both cases the product mixtures contained unwanted isomers and were treated with -galactosidase fromEscherichia coli which has a different specificity, under conditions favouring hydrolysis, yielding besides the desired products, monosaccharides and traces of trisaccharides. The products were purified to >95% by gel filtration, with a final yield of 12% of 1 and 17% of 2, based on added acceptor. In a separate experiment Gal1-6GlcNAc-SEt (3) was synthesized by the transglycosylation reaction using -galactosidase fromEscherichia coli. No other isomers were detected. Compound 3 was purified by HPLC. 相似文献
