The specificities of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase and pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase were probed using synthetic peptides corresponding to the sequence around phosphorylation sites 1 and 2 on pyruvate dehydrogenase [Tyr-His-Gly-His-Ser(P1)-Met-Ser-Asp-Pro-Gly-Val-Ser(P2)-Tyr-Arg]. The dephosphotetradecapeptide containing aspartic acid at position 8 was a better substrate for the kinase than was the tetradecapeptide containing asparagine at position 8. The apparent Km and V values for the two peptides were 0.43 and 6.1 mM and 2.7 and 2.4 nmol of 32P incorporated/min/mg, respectively. Methylation of the aspartic acid residue also increased the apparent Km of the tetradecapeptide about 14-fold. These results indicate that an acidic residue on the carboxyl-terminal side of phosphorylation site 1 is an important specificity determinant for the kinase. Phosphate was incorporated only into site 1 of the synthetic peptide by the kinase. The phosphatase exhibited an apparent Km of 0.28 mM and a V of 2.3 mumol of 32P released/min/mg for the phosphorylated tetradecapeptide containing aspartic acid. Methylation of the aspartic acid residue had no significant effect on dephosphorylation. The octapeptide and phosphooctapeptide produced by cleavage of the aspartyl-prolyl bond by formic acid were poorer substrates for the kinase and phosphatase than were the tetradecapeptide and phosphotetradecapeptide, respectively. Modification of the amino terminal by acetylation or lysine addition had only a slight effect on the kinase and phosphatase activities. 相似文献

Kinetic studies on the activity of purified cGMP-dependent protein kinase and catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase have been carried out using a protein termed G-substrate (see preceding paper) as the phosphate acceptor. Each enzyme catalyzed the phosphorylation of 2.0-2.1 mol of 32P/mol of G-substrate, with phosphorylation occurring primarily at threonine residues. When phosphorylation was carried out in the simultaneous presence of the two enzymes, the stoichiometry increased only slightly, to a value of 2.4, suggesting that both enzymes phosphorylated the same two sites. Initial rate studies on the phosphorylation of G-substrate by cGMP-dependent protein kinase yielded a Km of 0.21 microM and a Vmax of 2.2 mumol/min/mg. Similar studies with the cAMP-dependent protein kinase yielded a Km of 5.8 microM and a Vmax of 2.3 mumol/min/mg. cGMP-dependent protein kinase thus exhibited a high degree of specificity towards this substrate which was apparently based on selective substrate binding rather than catalytic efficacy. The activity of cGMP-dependent protein kinase towards G-substrate was maximal at pH 7.5-8.0 and a Mg2+ concentration of 1-3 mM. Activity declined sharply at high ionic strength (greater than 20 mM KCl). 相似文献

Actin of fragmin-actin complex is phosphorylated by an endogenous kinase from plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum. The phosphorylation abolishes the nucleation and capping activities of fragmin-actin complex. The kinase has been purified and termed actin kinase [Furuhashi, K. & Hatano, S. (1990) J. Cell Biol. 111, 1081-1087]. Enzymatic properties of the purified actin kinase were studied in detail. Actin kinase exhibited the highest activity under conditions physiological for the plasmodium (30 mM KCl, 6 mM MgCl2, pH 7.0). The Vmax and the Km of the enzyme for ATP were about 83 mumol/min/mg and 25 microM, respectively. The Km for fragmin-actin complex was 190 nM. The purified actin kinase phosphorylated actin of fragmin-actin complex at a constant rate regardless of Ca2+ concentration. Similarly, 2 microM cAMP, 2 microM cGMP, 2 micrograms/ml calmodulin in the presence of Ca2+ or 1 mM GTP showed no effect on the activity of the purified enzyme. Actin kinase did not phosphorylate histone H1, H2B, alpha-casein, or beta-casein, suggesting that actin kinase is a new kind of protein kinase which specifically phosphorylates actin of the fragmin-actin complex. 相似文献

The substrate specificities of cyclic GMP-dependent and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases have been compared by kinetic analysis using synthetic peptides as substrates. Both enzymes catalyzed the transfer of phosphate from ATP to calf thymus histone H2B, as well as to two synthetic peptides, Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32-Arg-Lys-Glu and Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36-Tyr-Ser-Val, corresponding to the amino acid sequences around serine 32 and serine 36 in histone H2B. Serine 38 in the latter peptide was not phosphorylated by either enzyme. Cyclic GMP-dependent kinase and cyclic AMP-dependent kinase catalyzed the incorporation of 1.1 and 2.0 mol of phosphate/mol of histone H2B, respectively. The phosphorylation of histone H2B, respectively. The phosphorylation of histone H2B by cyclic GMP-dependent kinase showed two distinct optima as the magnesium concentration was increased. However, the phosphorylation of either synthetic peptide by this enzyme was depressed at high magnesium concentrations. As the pH of reaction mixtures was elevated from pH 6 to pH 9, the rate of phosphorylation of Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32-Arg-Lys-Glu by cyclic GMP-dependent kinase continually increased. Acetylation of the NH2 terminus of the peptide did not qualitatively affect this pH profile, but did increase the Vmax value of the enzyme 3-fold. The apparent Km and Vmax values for the phosphorylation of Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32-Arg-Lys-Glu by cyclic GMP-dependent kinase were 21 microM and 4.4 mumol/min/mg, respectively. The synthetic peptide Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36-Tyr-Ser-Val was a relatively poor substrate for cyclic GMP-dependent kinase, exhibiting a Km value of 732 microM, although the Vmax was 12 micromol/min/mg. With histone H2B as substrate for the cyclic GMP-dependent kinase, two different Km values were apparent. The Km values for cyclic AMP-dependent kinase for either synthetic peptide were approximately 100 microM, but the Vmax for Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser32-Arg-Lys-Glu was 1.1 mumol/min/mg, while the Vmax for Arg-Lys-Glu-Ser36-Tyr-Ser-Val was 16.5 mumol/min/mg. These data suggest that although the two cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases have similar substrate specificities, the determinants dictated by the primary sequence around the two phosphorylation sites in histone H2B are different for the two enzymes. 相似文献

The Michaelis constants of soya-bean ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase for CO2 in the carboxylation reaction and for O2 in the oxygenation reaction depend on the nature of the bivalent cation present. In the presence of Mg2+ the Km for bicarbonate is 2.48 mM, and the Km for O2 is 37% (gas-phase concentration). With Mn2+ the values decrease to 0.85 mM and 1.7% respectively. For the carboxylation reaction Vmax. was 1.7 mumol/min per mg of protein with Mg2+ but only 0.29 mumol/min per mg of protein with Mn2+. For the oxygenation reaction, Vmax. values were 0.61 and 0.29 mumol/min per mg of protein respectively with Mg2+ and Mn2+. 相似文献

A synthetic peptide derived from the phosphorylation site in the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase (RTKRSGSVYEPLKI) is an efficient substrate for rat brain protein kinase C: Km = 18 +/- 2 microM and Vmax = 2.1 +/- 0.1 mumol/min/mg. The phosphorylation of the peptide, which occurs at Ser7, can be followed by four independent procedures. 1. Standard measurement of 32P incorporation. 2. Reverse phase HPLC in a gradient system containing 0.1 M ammonium sulfate in the stationary phase. 3. Continuous fluorometric monitoring of the changes in intrinsic peptide fluorescence. 4.

Adenosine kinase from human liver 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Adenosine kinase (ATP: adenosine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.20) has been purified to homogeneity from human liver. The yield was 55% of the initial activity with a final specific activity of 6.3 mumol/min per mg protein. The molecular weight was estimated as about 40 000 by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The enzyme catalyzed the phosphorylation of adenosine, deoxyadenosine, arabinoadenosine, inosine and ribavirin. The activity of deoxyadenosine phosphorylation was 18% of that of adenosine. The pH optimum profile was biphasic; a sharp pH optimum at pH 5.5 and a broad optimum at pH 7.5--8.5. The Km value for adenosine was 0.15 micrometer, and the activity was strongly inhibited at higher concentrations than 0.5 micrometer. ATP, dATP, GTP and dGTP were proved to be effective phosphate donors. Co2+ was more effective than Mg2+, and Ca2+, Mn2+, Fe2+ and Ni2+ showed about 50% of the activity for Mg2+. Some difference in structure between the adenosine kinase from human liver and that from rabbit or rat tissue, was observed by amino acid analysis and peptide mapping analysis. 相似文献

A phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) kinase activity was purified from rat brain extract through several chromatographic steps to yield an active preparation (specific activity 1 mumol of 32P incorporated into phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate/min per mg of protein) with an apparent molecular size of 100-110 kDa in the native form. The isolated PIP kinase required Mg2+ (optimally 20-30 mM) for its activity and was not influenced by Ca2+. The enzyme used ATP (Km 25 microM) and GTP (Km 133 microM) as phosphate sources and appeared specific for PIP (Km 3.3 micrograms/ml) as the lipid substrate. The PIP-phosphorylation reaction was inhibited by micromolar concentrations of heparin [ID50 (concn. giving 50% inhibition) 2 micrograms/ml] and the flavonoid quercetin (ID50 0.2 microM). Whereas heparin behaves as a competitive inhibitor to PIP, quercetin was competitive towards ATP (or GTP). Phosphorylation of the preparation by a highly active purified protein kinase C did not detectably alter PIP kinase activity. Whereas 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol acetate and various phospholipids had no effect, phosphatidylserine elicited a dose-dependent activation of PIP activity. This suggests that a phosphatidylserine-PIP kinase interaction may be considered as a possible regulatory process at the cell-membrane level. 相似文献

Regulation of deoxyadenosine and nucleoside analog phosphorylation by human placental adenosine kinase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The enzymes responsible for the phosphorylation of deoxyadenosine and nucleoside analogs are important in the pathogenesis of adenosine deaminase deficiency and in the activation of specific anticancer and antiviral drugs. We examined the role of adenosine kinase in catalyzing these reactions using an enzyme purified 4000-fold (2.1 mumol/min/mg) from human placenta. The Km values of deoxyadenosine and ATP are 135 and 4 microM, respectively. Potassium and magnesium are absolute requirements for deoxyadenosine phosphorylation, and 150 mM potassium and 5 mM MgCl2 are critical for linear kinetics. With only 0.4 mM MgCl2 in excess of ATP levels, the Km for deoxyadenosine is increased 10-fold. ADP is a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 13 microM with variable MgATP2-, while it is a mixed inhibitor with a Ki and Ki' of 600 and 92 microM, respectively, when deoxyadenosine is variable. AMP is a mixed inhibitor with Ki and Ki' of 177 and 15 microM, respectively, with variable deoxyadenosine; it is a non-competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 17 microM and Ki' of 27 microM with variable ATP. Adenosine kinase phosphorylates adenine arabinoside with an apparent Km of 1 mM using deoxyadenosine kinase assay conditions. The Km values for 6-methylmercaptopurine riboside and 5-iodotubercidin, substrates for adenosine kinase, are estimated to be 4.5 microM and 2.6 nM, respectively. Other nucleoside analogs are potent inhibitors of deoxyadenosine phosphorylation, but their status as substrates remains unknown. These data indicate that deoxyadenosine phosphorylation by adenosine kinase is primarily regulated by its Km and the concentrations of Mg2+, ADP, and AMP. The high Km values for phosphorylation of deoxyadenosine and adenine arabinoside suggest that adenosine kinase may be less likely to phosphorylate these nucleosides in vivo than other enzymes with lower Km values. Adenosine kinase appears to be important for adenosine analog phosphorylation where the Michaelis constant is in the low micromolar range. 相似文献

Substrate specificity of Acanthamoeba myosin I heavy chain kinase as determined with synthetic peptides 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
H Brzeska T J Lynch B Martin A Corigliano-Murphy E D Korn 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1990,265(27):16138-16144
Phosphorylation of a single threonine (myosin IA) or serine (myosins IB and IC) in the heavy chains of the Acanthamoeba myosin I isozymes is required for expression of their actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activities. We now report that the synthetic peptide Gly-Arg-Gly-Arg-Ser-Ser-Val-Tyr-Ser, which corresponds to the phosphorylated region of Acanthamoeba myosin IC, is a good substrate for myosin I heavy chain kinase: Km = 54 microM, and Vmax = 15 mumols/min.mg. The same serine is phosphorylated as in the native substrate (residue 6 in the above sequence), and kinase activity with the synthetic peptide as substrate is also stimulated by phosphatidylserine-enhanced autophosphorylation of the kinase. These results indicate that all of the essential sequence determinants of kinase specificity are contained within this 9-residue peptide. With the peptide as substrate, we found that another acidic phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol, also enhances autophosphorylation of the kinase whereas the neutral phospholipids phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine do not. By comparing the Km and Vmax values for a series of synthetic peptide substrates, we established that 1 basic amino acid is essential on the NH2-terminal side of the phosphorylation site, and two are preferable, and that a tyrosine is essential 2 residues away on the COOH-terminal side. There is a slight preference for arginines over lysines. All of these local sequence specificity determinants are present in the three native substrates, Acanthamoeba myosins IA, IB, and IC, and in two Dictyostelium myosin I isozymes that are putative substrates for the kinase. Similar sequences do not occur in the myosins I from intestinal brush border, which is not a substrate for the Acanthamoeba kinase. 相似文献

Some properties of the H-ATPase activity present in root plasmalemma of Avena sativa L. Two different enzymes or one enzyme with two ATP sites? 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of Mg2+, K+ and ATP on a H-ATPase activity from a native plasmalemma fraction of oat roots were explored at 20 degrees C and pH 6.5. In the presence of 3 mM ATP and no K+, H-ATPase activity vs. [Mg2+] approached a monotonic activation but it became biphasic, with a decline above 3 mM Mg2+, in the presence of 20 mM K+. Mg2+ inhibition occurred also in K-free solutions when [ATP] was lowered to 0.05 mM. Also, an apparent monotonic H-ATPase activation by [K+] at 3.0 mM ATP was transformed in biphasic (inhibition by high [K+]) when [ATP] was reduced to 0.05 mM. The best fits of the ATP stimulation curves of hydrolysis satisfied the sum of two Michaelian functions where that with higher affinity had lower Vmx. Taking into consideration all conditions of activity assay, the high-affinity component (1) had a Km about 11-16 microM and a Vmx around 0.14-0.28 mumol Pi/mg per min whereas that with lower affinity (2) had a Km of 220-540 microM and a Vmx of 0.5-1.0 mumol Pi/mg per min. Km2 was markedly affected by the [K+] and [Mg2+]; at optimal concentrations of these cations (1 mM Mg2+ and 10 mM K+) it had a value of 235 +/- 24 microM which was increased to 540 +/- 35 microM at 20 mM [Mg2+] and 60 mM [K+]. In addition, Vmx1 was reduced to about a half when the concentrations of Mg2+ and K+ were increased to inhibitory levels. These results could be explained by the existence of two different enzymes or one enzyme with two ATP sites. In the second case, we could not tell at this stage if both are catalytic or one is regulatory. 相似文献

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) kinase of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a gene product of the dha regulon responsible for fermentative dissimilation of glycerol and DHA, was purified 120-fold to a final specific activity of 10 mumol X min-1 X mg of protein-1 at 30 degrees C. The enzyme, a dimer of a 53,000 +/- 5,000-dalton polypeptide, is highly specific for DHA (Km, ca.4 microM). Glycerol is not a substrate at 1 mM and is not an inhibitor even at 100 mM. The enzyme is not inhibited by 5 mM fructose-1,6-diphosphate. Ca2+ gives a higher enzyme activity than Mg2+ as a cationic cofactor. Escherichia coli glycerol kinase acts on both glycerol and DHA and is allosterically inhibited by fructose-1,6-diphosphate. Antibodies raised against E. coli glycerol kinase cross-reacted with K. pneumoniae glycerol kinase but not with K. pneumoniae DHA kinase. 相似文献

Substrate specificity of rat brain calcium-activated and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A synthetic peptide ArgThrProProProSerGly with sequence similar to the threonine sites of phosphorylation in both myelin basic protein and simian virus 40 T antigen could be phosphorylated in vitro by a purified rat brain Ca2+-activated and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C. The apparent Km and Vm values of this heptapeptide for the enzyme were determined to be 240 microM and 60 nmol/min/mg, respectively. Up to 0.8 mol 32P could be incorporated into the peptide, mainly at the threonine residue. Substitution of the L-threonine residue in the heptapeptide by its D-enantiomer abolished the phosphorylatability of the peptide by protein kinase C. However, this (D)Thr-containing peptide could act as a competitive inhibitor for the kinase with an apparent Ki value of approximately 320 microM. These findings suggest that a triprolyl sequence may act as a recognition site for protein kinase C. 相似文献

Bovine lung cGMP-binding cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase (cG-BPDE) is a potent and relatively specific substrate for cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK) as compared to cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAK) (Thomas, M. K., Francis, S. H., and Corbin, J. D. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 14971-14978). A synthetic peptide, RKISASEFDRPLR (BPDEtide), was synthesized corresponding to the sequence surrounding the phosphorylation site in cG-BPDE. BPDEtide retained the cGK/cAK kinase specificity demonstrated by native cG-BPDE: the apparent Km of BPDEtide for cGK was 5-fold lower than that for cAK (Km = 68 and 320 microM, respectively). Vmax values were 11 mumol/min/mg for cGK and 3.2 mumol/min/mg for cAK. The peptide was not phosphorylated to a measurable extent by protein kinase C or by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Thus, the primary amino acid sequence of the peptide substrate was sufficient to confer kinase specificity. Studies in crude tissue extracts indicated that BPDEtide was the most selective peptide substrate documented for measuring cGK activity. Peptide analogs of BPDEtide were synthesized to determine the contribution of specific residues to cGK or cAK substrate specificity. Substitution of a Lys for the amino-terminal Arg did not reduce cGK/cAK specificity; neither did the exchange of an Ala for the non-phosphorylated Ser nor the removal of the 3 carboxyl-terminal residues. A truncated BPDEtide (RKISASE) served equally well as substrate (Km approximately 90 microM) for both kinases. However, restoration of the Phe, to yield RKISASEF, reproduced the original cGK/cAK specificity for BPDEtide (Km = 120 and 480 microM, respectively), primarily by decreasing the affinity of cAK. Addition of a carboxyl-terminal Phe to the peptide RKRSRAE (derived from the sequence of the cGK phosphorylation site in histone H2B) or to the peptide LRRASLG (derived from the sequence of the cAK phosphorylation site in pyruvate kinase) also improved the cGK/cAK specificity by decreasing the affinity of cAK. These data suggested that the Phe in each substrate tested is a negative determinant for cAK. 相似文献

Efficient cAMP-dependent protein kinase substrates typically contain an arginine dyad one amino acid removed from the residue which undergoes phosphorylation (ie. Arg-Arg-X-Ser). However, several naturally occurring protein kinase inhibitors and substrates possess additional basic residues that are proximal to the arginine dyad, implying the presence of either an extended or an additional acidic subsite on the enzyme. In this study, we investigated the substrate efficacy of several multiple arginine-bearing peptides. The most efficient substrate studied, Arg-Arg-Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly, exhibits a nearly eleven-fold increase in kcat/Km relative to Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly. The enhanced kcat/Km is primarily a consequence of a reduced Km. These results suggest that a double arginine dyad, separated by a single amino acid, represents the optimal sequence for basic residues on cAMP-dependent protein kinase substrates. 相似文献

Characterization of casein kinase II from a virally transformed macrophage-like cell line, RAW264 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Casein kinase II from a virally-transformed macrophage cell line (RAW264) was purified by a sequential DEAE, Procion Red, phosvitin-Sepharose and heparin-Sepharose chromatography. With [tau-32P]GTP as a phosphate donor and casein as a substrate, the kinase was stimulated by polyamines and inhibited by heparin. The purified kinase had a specific activity of 1137 nmol/min/mg protein and exhibited three major protein bands of 40 K, 35 K, and 25 K. Under non-denaturing conditions in 50 mM Tris-50 mM NaCl the enzyme was eluted as a single peak with molecular weight of 110 K. Incubation of kinase in the presence of [tau-32P]GTP and Mg2+ resulted in phosphorylation of the 25 K protein band of the enzyme. In the presence of [tau-32P]GTP and Mg2+ the kinase was able to phosphorylate 55 K protein band in purified ornithine decarboxylase preparation from RAW264 cells and the rat-type II regulatory subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. 相似文献

Neuromodulin (P-57, GAP-43, B-50, F-1) is a neurospecific calmodulin binding protein that is phosphorylated by protein kinase C. Phosphorylation by protein kinase C has been shown to abolish the affinity of neuromodulin for calmodulin [Alexander, K. A., Cimler, B. M., Meier, K. E., & Storm, D. R. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 6108-6113], and we have proposed that the concentration of free CaM in neurons may be regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of neuromodulin. The purpose of this study was to identify the protein kinase C phosphorylation site(s) in neuromodulin using recombinant neuromodulin as a substrate. Toward this end, it was demonstrated that recombinant neuromodulin purified from Escherichia coli and bovine neuromodulin were phosphorylated with similar Km values and stoichiometries and that protein kinase C mediated phosphorylation of both proteins abolished binding to calmodulin-Sepharose. Recombinant neuromodulin was phosphorylated by using protein kinase C and [gamma-32P]ATP and digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides were separated by HPLC. Only one 32P-labeled tryptic peptide was generated from phosphorylated neuromodulin. The sequence of this peptide was IQASFR. The serine in this peptide corresponds to position 41 of the entire protein, which is adjacent to or contained within the calmodulin binding domain of neuromodulin. A synthetic peptide, QASFRGHITRKKLKGEK, corresponding to the calmodulin binding domain with a few flanking residues, including serine-41, was also phosphorylated by protein kinase C. We conclude that serine-41 is the protein kinase C phosphorylation site of neuromodulin and that phosphorylation of this amino acid residue blocks binding of calmodulin to neuromodulin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Tyrosine hydroxylase is a substrate for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase as well as other protein kinases. We determined the Km and Vmax of rat pheochromocytoma tyrosine hydroxylase for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and obtained values of 136 microM and 7.1 mumol/min/mg of catalytic subunit, respectively. These values were not appreciably affected by the substrates for tyrosine hydroxylase (tyrosine and tetrahydrobiopterin) or by feedback inhibitors (dopamine and norepinephrine). The high Km of tyrosine hydroxylase correlates with the high content of tyrosine hydroxylase in catecholaminergic cells. We also determined the kinetic constants for peptides modeled after actual or potential tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation sites. We found that the best substrates for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase were those peptides corresponding to serine 40. Tyrosine hydroxylase (36-46), for example, exhibited a Km of 108 microM and a Vmax of 6.93 mumol/min/mg of catalytic subunit. The next best substrate was the peptide corresponding to serine 153. The peptide containing the sequence conforming to serine 19 was a very poor substrate, and that conforming to serine 172 was not phosphorylated to any significant extent. The primary structure of the actual or potential phosphorylation sites is sufficient to explain the substrate behavior of the native enzyme. 相似文献

The cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of hydroxyproline present in the heptapeptide, Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Hyp-Leu-Gly. The Km value for the reaction with this substrate was high (approximately 18 mM) compared to the Km values reported for the analogous threonine and serine-containing peptides, which were 0.59 mM and 0.016 mM, respectively (Kemp, B.E., Graves, D.J., Benjamini, E., and Krebs, E.G. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 4888-4894). The Vmax value with the hydroxyproline-containing peptide was 1 mumol . min-1 mg-1 in contrast to Vmax values of 6 mumol . min-1 mg-1 and 20 mumol . min-1 mg-1 for the threonine- and serine-containing peptides, respectively. Phosphate esterified to hydroxyproline present in the peptide was relatively stable in hot alkali, only 10% being released as Pi within 30 min in 0.1 N NaOH at 100 degrees C, whereas all of the phosphate was released from the phosphoserine peptide analogue under these conditions. Phosphohydroxyproline in the peptide was also more stable to acid (5.7 N HCl, 110 degrees C) than phosphoserine, the time for 50% release as Pi being 15 h in contrast to 6 h for the latter. 相似文献
