Polyanionic candidate microbicides, including cellulose sulfate, carrageenan, PRO 2000, were proven ineffective in preventing HIV-1 transmission and even cellulose sulfate showed increased risk of HIV acquisition in the Phase III efficacy trials. Semen plays critical roles in HIV-1 sexual transmission. Specifically, amyloid fibrils formed by fragments of prostatic acidic phosphatase (PAP) in semen termed semen-derived enhancer of virus infection (SEVI) could drastically enhance HIV-1 infection. Here we investigated the interaction between polyanions and PAP248-286, a prototype peptide of SEVI, to understand the possible cause of polyanionic candidate microbicides to fail in clinical trials. We found anionic polymers could efficiently promote SEVI fibril formation, most likely mediated by the natural electrostatic interaction between polyanions and PAP248-286, as revealed by acid native PAGE and Western blot. The overall anti-HIV-1 activity of polyanions in the presence or absence of PAP248-286 or semen was evaluated. In the viral infection assay, the supernatants of polyanions/PAP248-286 or polyanions/semen mixtures containing the free, unbound polyanionic molecules showed a general reduction in antiviral efficacy, while the pellets containing amyloid fibrils formed by the polyanion-bound PAP248-286 showed aggravated enhancement of viral infection. Collectively, from the point of drug-host protein interaction, our study revealed that polyanions facilitate SEVI fibril formation to promote HIV-1 infection, thus highlighting a molecular mechanism underlying the failure of polyanions in clinical trials and the importance of drug-semen interaction in evaluating the anti-HIV-1 efficacy of candidate microbicides. 相似文献

It is well established that the gp120 V3 loop of T-cell-line-adapted human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) binds both cell-associated and soluble polyanions. Virus infectivity is increased by interactions between HIV-1 and heparan sulfate proteoglycans on some cell types, and soluble polyanions such as heparin and dextran sulfate neutralize HIV-1 in vitro. However, the analysis of gp120-polyanion interactions has been limited to T-cell-line-adapted, CXCR4-using virus and virus-derived gp120, and the polyanion binding ability of gp120 regions other than the V3 loop has not been addressed. Here we demonstrate by monoclonal-antibody inhibition, labeled heparin binding, and surface plasmon resonance studies that a second site, most probably corresponding to the newly defined, highly conserved coreceptor binding region on gp120, forms part of the polyanion binding surface. Consistent with the binding of polyanions to the coreceptor binding surface, dextran sulfate interfered with the gp120-CXCR4 association while having no detectable effect on the gp120-CD4 interaction. The interaction between polyanions and X4 or R5X4 gp120 was readily detectable, whereas weak or undetectable binding was observed with R5 gp120. Analysis of mutated forms of X4 gp120 demonstrated that the V3 loop is the major determinant for polyanion binding whereas other regions, including the V1/V2 loop structure and the NH(2) and COOH termini, exert a more subtle influence. A molecular model of the electrostatic potential of the conserved coreceptor binding region confirmed that it is basic but that the overall charge on this surface is dominated by the V3 loop. These results demonstrate a selective interaction of gp120 with polyanions and suggest that the conserved coreceptor binding surface may present a novel and conserved target for therapeutic intervention. 相似文献

The effect of the polyanion heparin on the trehalose phosphate synthetase of Mycobacterium smegmatis had been studied. In the presence of heparin (0.5 mg/ml), the synthetase shows greatly increased stability when heated at 50 °C for various periods of time as compared to the enzyme in the absence of heparin. Heparin also prevents digestion of the enzyme by trypsin. In the absence of heparin, the synthetase is retained on a Sephadex G-200 column and elutes in an area suggesting a molecular weight of about 40,000–50,000. However, when heparin (0.5 mg/ml) is mixed with the enzyme, the synthetase is excluded from the Sephadex G-200 column and elutes in an area suggesting a molecular weight of greater than 450,000. The trehalose phosphate synthetase was purified by binding it to a column of heparin covalently attached to Sepharose 4B. The synthetase was eluted from this column with a linear gradient of heparin. This enzyme fraction which contained bound heparin showed greatly increased stability at 50 °C, and eluted from the Sephadex G-200 column in an area suggesting a molecular weight of greater than 450,000. These results indicate that heparin, and presumably other polyanions, stabilizes the synthetase to adverse conditions and also causes an association of the enzyme to high molecular weight forms.The synthetase, when bound to the heparin-Sepharose gel, still retained good enzymatic activity. This immobilized enzyme was active with various glucose sugar nucleotides (ADP-glucose, GDP-glucose, UDP-glucose, TDP-glucose) and did not require additional polyanion. The product formed from each of these sugar nucleotides was shown to be trehalose phosphate by a variety of chemical and enzymatic procedures. 相似文献

In vitro synthesis of alpha-carboxyl-linked folylpolyglutamates by an enzyme preparation from Escherichia coli 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Extracts of Escherichia coli contained an enzymatic activity which catalyzed the addition of L-glutamate to the alpha-carboxyl of various polyglutamate substrates, including folylpolyglutamates. Much of the enzyme activity was separated by DE52 chromatography and gel filtration from the enzyme which adds the first three glutamates in the biosynthesis of folylpolyglutamates, dihydrofolate synthetase-folylpolyglutamate synthetase. The two enzyme activities differed in many properties. Whereas dihydrofolate synthetase-folylpolyglutamate synthetase preferred pteroate or pteroylmonoglutamate substrates, the folylpoly-alpha-glutamate synthetase preparations effectively utilized tetrahydropteroylpolyglutamates, pteroylpolyglutamates, p-aminobenzoylpolyglutamates (pAB(Glu)n), and even a polyglutamate tripeptide. Several di- and triglutamyl peptides were inhibitory to folylpoly-alpha-glutamate synthetase activity, but not to dihydrofolate synthetase-folylpolyglutamate synthetase. Conversely, dihydropteroate noncompetitively inhibits the folylpolyglutamate synthetase reaction of the dihydrofolate synthetase-folylpolyglutamate synthetase protein, but did not inhibit the folylpoly-alpha-glutamate synthetase reaction. Potassium chloride was inhibitory to folylpoly-alpha-glutamate synthetase activity (as were other salts and several polyanions), in contrast to the absolute requirement of dihydrofolate synthetase-folylpolyglutamate synthetase activity for a monovalent cation such as K+. Incubation of a folylpoly-alpha-glutamate synthetase preparation with (6S)-tetrahydropteroyltri(gamma)glutamate generated products which after chemical cleavage to pAB(Glu)n were identical to those from growing E. coli, in high performance liquid chromatography retention times and in pattern of digestion by alpha-COOH bond-specific carboxypeptidase Y. High performance liquid chromatography and mass spectral analysis of the products of the in vitro reactions of folylpoly-alpha-glutamate synthetase with several substrates also demonstrated the addition of glutamate residues via alpha-COOH linkages. Thus, there appear to be two folylpolyglutamate synthetase activities in E. coli, dihydrofolate synthetase-folylpolyglutamate synthetase which adds the first three glutamate residues by gamma-COOH linkages and the folylpoly-alpha-glutamate synthetase activity which extends the folylpolyglutamate chain via gamma-COOH peptide bonds. 相似文献

Zinc ions form complexes with β-amyloid peptides and play an important role in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. It has been demonstrated by turbidimetry and correlation spectroscopy that synthetic peptide Aβ16 representing the metal-binding domain of β-amyloid is able to interact with nucleic acids, chondroitin polysulfate, and dextran sulfates in the presence of zinc ions. The amino acid D7H substitution enhanced the peptide binding to polyanions, whereas the H6R and H6A-H13A substitutions abolished this interaction. It is suggested that the metal-binding domain may serve as a zinc-dependent site of β-amyloid interaction with biological polyanions including DNA, RNA, and glycosaminoglycans. 相似文献

A selective interaction of rat liver carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I with cardiolipin, and other anionic phospholipids, has been demonstrated. The enzymatic activity of the synthetase is inhibited by cardiolipin and, to a lesser extent, by phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylserine. This group of anionic phospholipids also induced a conformational change in the synthetase, yielding a species with increased exposure of the linkages between independently folded domains of the enzyme, as determined by limited proteolysis under nondenaturing conditions. The interaction of cardiolipin with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I was a fairly slow process, with complex kinetics, and was apparently irreversible. The inclusion of Mg2+ or of MgATP in the incubation mixture prevented the cardiolipin effects. The zwitterionic phospholipids phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine had negligible effects on the structure and activity of the synthetase. This interaction between cardiolipin and carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I potentially constitutes one of the mechanisms by which the synthetase forms its loose association with the inner mitochondrial membrane. Multiple mechanisms, including synthetase conformational changes, cardiolipin phase changes, and ATP/ADP binding site involvement, are possibly involved in the phospholipid/synthetase interaction and the resulting potential regulatory mechanism(s) for urea cycle activity. 相似文献

The ability of aliphatic ionenes to recognize and bind DNA or poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) in the equimolar mixture of these polyanions was studied by fluorescence quenching technique. Within a particular system, the selectivity of competitive interactions was shown to be determined by a component with the lowest degree of polymerization (DP). Ionene polycations with lowest DP values did not exhibit pronounced selectivity in binding DNA or PMA with higher values of DP. Increase in ionene DP resulted in a steady increase in selectivity of interaction and ultimately in almost exclusive binding of one of the two polyanions. The ability of the ionene to recognize and bind DNA in the mixture of polyanions was shown not to correlate with the affinity of the ionene to DNA in their binary mixture. Although ionenes with a higher charge density exhibited preferential binding to PMA, the ionenes with the lowest charge density selectively bound DNA. 相似文献

Galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.22) requires bivalent metal ions for its activity. However, preparations of this enzyme solubilized from Golgi membranes of lactating rat mammary gland were shown to be activated not only by Mn2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+, but also by spermine, spermidine, lysyl-lysine, ethylenediamine and other diaminoalkanes, and by a range of basic proteins and peptides, including clupeine, histone, polylysine, ribonuclease, pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, cytochrome c, melittin, avidin and myelin basic protein. Both N-acetyl-lactosamine synthetase and lactose synthetase activities were enhanced. A basic protein fraction was isolated from bovine milk and shown to activate galactosyltransferase at low concentrations. The polyanions ATP, casein, chondroitin sulphate and heparin reversed the activation of galactosyltransferase by several of the above substances. Galactosyltransferase, assayed as a lactose synthetase, showed a 10-fold greater affinity for glucose when Mn2+ ions were replaced by clupeine or by ribonuclease as cationic activator. Evidence was obtained for the presence of an endogenous cationic activator in solubilized Golgi membrane preparations which evoked a similar low apparent Km,glucose. The findings are discussed in the light of cationic activations of glycosyltransferases generally, of the porous nature of the Golgi membrane, and of the unlikelihood of bivalent metal ions being the physiological activators of galactosyltransferase. It is suggested that the natural cationic activator of lactose synthetase may be a secretory protein acting in a manner analogous to the enzyme's activation by alpha-lactalbumin. A scheme is proposed for the two-stage synthesis of lactose and phosphorylation of casein within the cell, to accommodate the apparent incompatibility of these two processes. 相似文献

The interaction of four representative polyanions with parathyroid hormone (PTH) residues 1-84 has been investigated utilizing a variety of spectroscopic and calorimetric techniques. Each of the polyanions employed demonstrate enthalpically driven binding to PTH (1-84) with significant affinity. The polyanions heparin, dextran sulfate, phytic acid, and sucrose octasulfate induce alpha-helical structure in PTH to varying extents depending on the ratio of polyanion to protein employed. Intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy suggests significant protein tertiary structure alteration upon polyanion binding. Although structural modification occurred upon polyanion binding, PTH colloidal stability was increased depending on the ratio of polyanion to protein used. Nevertheless, the bioactivity of PTH in the presence of various ratios of heparin was not altered. The potential biological significance of PTH/polyanion interactions is discussed. 相似文献

The behavior of the proteome reflects spatial and temporal organization both within and without cells. We propose that various macromolecular entities possessing polyanionic character such as proteoglycans, lipid bilayer surfaces, microtubules, microfilaments, and polynucleotides may provide a functional network that mediates a variety of cellular phenomena. The interaction of proteins with this array of polyanions is characterized by a lower degree of specificity than seen with most commonly recognized macromolecular interactions. In this commentary, potential roles for this polyanion network in diverse functions such as protein/protein interactions, protein folding and stabilization, macromolecular transport, and various disease processes are all considered, as well as the use of polyanions as therapeutic agents. The role of small polyanions in the regulation of protein/polyanion interactions is also postulated. We provide preliminary experimental analysis of the extent to which proteins interact with polyanions inside cells using a combination of two-dimensional chromatographic and electrophoretic methods and antibody arrays. We conclude that many hundreds to thousands of such interactions are present in cells and argue that future understanding of the proteome will require that the "polyanion world" be taken into account. 相似文献

The mechanism of inhibition of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase was studied using a protein inhibitor isolated by a non-denaturing procedure from bovine heart. This protein inhibitor interacts with the catalytic subunit of protein kinase and binds to some substrates of the kinase. Protein kinase activity can also be inhibited by polyanions which, like the protein inhibitor, bind to basic substrates but do not bind to the catalytic subunit of protein kinase. Peptides such as L-lysyl-L-tyrosyl-L-threonine that resemble the phosphate accepting site of protein kinase substrates competitively inhibit phosphorylation of histone. Protein kinase activity can thus be inhibited in vitro by interaction of the protein inhibitor with substrates, and/or the catalytic subunit of the kinase, by competition of substrate analogs with "natural" substrates and by direct interaction of polyanions with basic protein substrates for the phosphotransferase reaction. 相似文献

Thermal denaturation profiles were used to quantitate the destabilizing activity of five classes of polyanions in an effort to explain previously reported differences in activity among apparently similar polymers. This physical assay for polyanion action on chromatin is free of the biochemical complications associated with template assay systems. Most polyanions tested caused a thermal destabilization of the normal nucleohistone complexes of rat thymus chromatin and exposed free or weakly complexed DNA. Polyphosphates dissociated chromatin even when their net charge was as low as 6, and activity per unit of weight increased with chain length only for polymers containing less than about 20 phosphate units; pyrophosphate was inactive. Two polymers which had no influence on chromatin had a low negative charge density. Some, such as polycytidlate and denatured DNA, possessed a high charge but caused only minor changes in the shape of denaturation profiles and exposed little or no free DNA. The highly active nucleic acids, ribosomal RNA and polyguanylate, were distinguishable from inactive nucleic acids by having more secondary structure and potentially less steric hindrance for anionic interaction with chromatin. There was evidence that some polyanions dissociate certain histones before others. Although data obtained show that some histones may be redistributed from chromatin onto added double-stranded DNA in a medium containing urea, this does not appear to interfere significantly with the interpretation of typical thermal denaturation profiles of chromatin. 相似文献

Antithrombin action of phosvitin and other phosphate-containing polyanions is mediated by heparin cofactor II 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have examined the antithrombin effects of various phosphate-containing polyanions (including linear polyphosphates, polynucleotides and the phosphoserine glycoprotein, phosvitin) on the glycosaminoglycan-binding plasma proteinase inhibitors, antithrombin III (ATIII) and heparin cofactor II (HCII). These phosphate-containing polyanions accelerate the HCII-thrombin reaction, as much as 1600-fold in the case of phosvitin. The HCII-thrombin reaction with both phosvitin and polynucleotides appears to follow the ternary complex mechanism. The HCII-thrombin complex is rapidly formed in the presence of these phosphate polyanions (each at 10 micrograms/ml) when 125I-labeled thrombin is incubated with human plasma (ex vivo). None of these phosphate polyanions accelerate the ATIII-thrombin reaction. Our results suggest that the antithrombotic effect of these phosphate-containing polyanions is mediated by HCII activation and not by ATIII. 相似文献

Interaction of rat mammary gland thioesterase II with fatty acid synthetase is dependent on the presence of acyl chains on the synthetase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The interaction between rat mammary gland thioesterase II and fatty acid synthetase has been studied by a variety of physicochemical techniques. Pyrene-labeled thioesterase II does not exhibit increased fluorescence anisotropy when mixed with fatty acid synthetase, suggesting that the enzymes do not readily form a complex. Nevertheless, the functional interaction between the enzymes can be easily demonstrated by observing the hydrolysis, by unmodified thioesterase II, of acyl chains from their thioester linkage to the 4-phosphopantetheine of the fatty acid synthetase. This hydrolytic reaction is not inhibited even in the presence of a large excess of fatty acid synthetase with vacant 4'-phosphopantetheine thiols, indicating that interaction occurs only between thioesterase and fatty acid synthetase species which carry acyl chains on the 4'-phosphopantetheine thiols. A novel model system was devised which allowed us to explore the nature of the physical interaction between the two enzymes under conditions where the synthetase was actively engaged in acyl chain assembly. Fatty acid synthetase was treated with phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride to inhibit its resident thioesterase activity, immobilized via a specific antibody to a column of Sepharose 4B, and exposed to the substrates required for acyl-enzyme assembly. When thioesterase II was introduced to the column, it passed through unretarded even though it efficiently catalyzed hydrolysis of the immobilized S-acyl synthetase en route. These results indicate that the two enzymes associate when an acyl chain is present on the synthetase and that they dissociate rapidly following completion of the catalytic process. Thus, the mammary system differs from that of the avian uropygial gland in which the two enzymes associate to form a stable complex even in the absence of substrates. 相似文献

Replication of foot-and-mouth disease virus RNA in vitro is inhibited by high concentrations of the following polyamines in decreasing order of effectiveness: putrescine, spermine, and cadaverine. The basic poly(amino acids), polylysine, polyornithine, and polyarginine, as well as the basic protein salmine, are several orders of magnitude more inhibitory than polyamines. The interaction between polyornithine and foot-and-mouth disease virus RNA and its inhibition of replicase activity are related to the ability of basic polypeptides to bind to the RNA template. The neutral polymer, polysarcosine, and the polyanions, polyglutamic acid and heparin sulfate, do not inhibit replication; however, both polyanions relieve the inhibition by polyamines and polyamino acids. The mode of inhibition by polyamines and poly(amino acids) and the antagonism by heparin is discussed. 相似文献

The high molecular weight aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex (the 24S complex) was isolated from rat liver by ultracentrifugation. The lysyl-tRNA synthetase (E.C. 6.1.1.6) was selectively dissociated by hydrophobic interaction chromatography on 1,6 diaminohexyl agarose followed by hydroxylapatite chromatography and DEAE chromatography. The lysyl-tRNA synthetase dissociated from the 24S synthetase complex was purified approximately to 2700 fold with 14% yield. 相似文献

Acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) is unstable at physiological temperatures in the absence of polyanions such as heparin. Therefore, the effect of temperature on the kinetics of refolding of aFGF has been examined in the presence and absence of several polyanions. The protein folds into its native state at temperatures up to 30 degrees C without polyanions with an activation energy of approximately 14 kcal/mol, but does not acquire native structure above this temperature. When heparin, inositol hexasulfate, or sulfate ion are present, aFGF refolds below 30 degrees C with a slightly reduced activation energy (10-11 kcal/mol). In addition, the protein now also renatures between 30 and 50 degrees C with activation energies of 1-2 (heparin), 16 (inositol hexasulfate), and 7 (sulfate) kcal/mol. Trace heavy metals appear to inhibit the refolding process, but a molecular chaperone (bovine 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein) and a peptidylprolyl isomerase (the FK506-binding protein) have no effect. It is concluded that the rate of refolding of aFGF at physiological temperatures is probably controlled by the interaction of a native-like state of the protein with an unknown polyanionic species. 相似文献

The binding of the various substrates to Escherichia coli glutamyl-tRNA synthetase has been investigated by using as experimental approaches the binding study under equilibrium conditions and the substrate-induced protection of the enzyme against its thermal inactivation. The results show that ATP and tRNAGlu bind to the free enzyme, whereas glutamate binds only to an enzyme form to which glutamate-accepting tRNAGlu is associated. By use of modified E. coli tRNAsGlu and heterologous tRNAsGlu, a correlation could be established between the ability of tRNAGlu to be aminoacylated by glutamyl-tRNA synthetase and its abilities to promote the [32P]PPi-ATP isotope exchange and the binding of glutamate to the synthetase. These results give a possible explanation for the inability of blutamyl-tRNA synthetase to catalyze the isotope exchange in the absence of amino acid accepting tRNAGlu and for the failure to detect an enzyme-adenylate complex for this synthetase by using the usual approaches. One binding site was detected for each substrate. The specificity of the interaction of the various substrates has been further investigated. Concerning ATP, inhibition studies of the aminoacylation reaction by various analogues showed the existence of a synergistic effect between the adenine and the ribose residues for the interaction of adenosine. The primary recognition of ATP involves the N-1 and the 6-amino group of adenine as well as the 2'-OH group of ribose. This first interaction is then strengthened by the phosphate groups- Inhibition studies by various analogues of glutamate showed a strong decrease in the affinity of this substrate for the synthetase after substitution of the alpha- or gamma-carboxyl groups. The enzyme exhibits a marked tendency to complex tRNAs of other specificities even in the presence of tRNAGlu. MgCl2 and spermidine favor the specific interactions. The influence of monovalent ions and of pH on the interaction between glutamyl-tRNA synthetase and tRNAGlu is similar to those reported for other synthetases not requiring their cognate tRNA to bind the amino acid. Finally, contrary to that reported for other monomeric synthetases, no dimerization of glutamyl-tRNA synthetase occurs during the catalytic process. 相似文献
