Spinophilin is a protein phosphatase-1- and actin-binding protein that modulates excitatory synaptic transmission and dendritic spine morphology. We have recently shown that the interaction of spinophilin with the actin cytoskeleton depends upon phosphorylation by protein kinase A. We have now found that spinophilin is phosphorylated by Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in neurons. Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, located within the post-synaptic density of dendritic spines, is known to play a role in synaptic plasticity and is ideally positioned to regulate spinophilin. Using tryptic phosphopeptide mapping, site-directed mutagenesis and microsequencing analysis, we identified two sites of CaMKII phosphorylation (Ser-100 and Ser-116) within the actin-binding domain of spinophilin. Phosphorylation by CaMKII reduced the affinity of spinophilin for F-actin. In neurons, phosphorylation at Ser-100 by CaMKII was Ca(2+) dependent and was associated with an enrichment of spinophilin in the synaptic plasma membrane fraction. These results indicate that spinophilin is phosphorylated by multiple kinases in vivo and that differential phosphorylation may target spinophilin to specific locations within dendritic spines.  相似文献

Phosducin (Pdc) is a G protein beta gamma dimer (G beta gamma) binding protein, highly expressed in retinal photoreceptor and pineal cells, yet whose physiological role remains elusive. Light controls the phosphorylation of Pdc in a cAMP and Ca(2+)-dependent manner, and phosphorylation in turn regulates the binding of Pdc to G(t)beta gamma or 14-3-3 proteins in vitro. To directly examine the phosphorylation of Pdc in intact retina, we prepared antibodies specific to the three principal phosphorylation sites (Ser-54, Ser-73, and Ser-106) and measured the kinetics of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation during light/dark adaptation and the subsequent effects on G(t)beta gamma binding. Ser-54 phosphorylation increased slowly (t((1/2)) approximately 90 min) during dark adaptation to approximately 70% phosphorylated and decreased rapidly (t((1/2)) approximately 2 min) during light adaptation to less than 20% phosphorylated. Ser-73 phosphorylation increased much faster during dark adaptation (t((1/2)) approximately 3 min) to approximately 50% phosphorylated and decreased more slowly during light adaptation (t((1/2)) approximately 9 min) to less than 20% phosphorylated. The Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM blocked Ser-54 phosphorylation during dark adaptation but had no effect on Ser-73 phosphorylation. In contrast, Ser-106 was not phosphorylated in either the light or dark. Importantly, G beta gamma binding to Pdc was enhanced by Ca(2+) chelation and the binding kinetics closely paralleled those of Ser-54 dephosphorylation, indicating that Ser-54 phosphorylation controls G(t)beta gamma binding in vivo. These results suggest a pivotal role of Ser-54 and Ser-73 phosphorylation in determining the interactions of Pdc with its binding partners, G(t)beta gamma and 14-3-3 protein, which may regulate the light-dependent translocation of the photoreceptor G protein.  相似文献

Phosducin (PD) is a regulatory protein involved in the phototransduction cascade of vertebrate photoreceptor cells. We have previously demonstrated that there are rod- and cone-specific PDs (OlPD-R and OlPD-C) in the retina of the teleost fish, medaka (Oryzias latipes) [FEBS Lett. 502 (2001) 117]. A 6x His affinity precipitation assay revealed that phosphorylation by either protein kinase A (PKA) or Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) reduced the affinity of recombinant medaka PDs to endogenous medaka G-protein beta gamma subunits (Gbetagamma). These results suggest that the affinity of medaka PDs to Gbetagamma is regulated by cAMP and Ca(2+) concentrations as also found for mammalian PDs. However, we found a specific difference in the phosphorylation patterns between recombinant OlPD-R and OlPD-C, which resulted in different affinities to Gbetagamma. These differences may affect the light/dark-adaptation between medaka rods and cones.  相似文献

Stimulus-coupled interaction of tyrosine hydroxylase with 14-3-3 proteins   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is phosphorylated by CaM kinase II and is activated in situ in response to a variety of stimuli that increase intracellular Ca(2+). We report here, using baculovirus-expressed TH, that the 14-3-3 protein binds and activates the expressed TH when the enzyme is phosphorylated at Ser-19, a site of CaM kinase II-dependent phosphorylation located in the regulatory domain of TH. Site-directed mutagenesis showed that a TH mutant in which Ser-19 was substituted by Ala retained enzymatic activity at the same level as the non-mutated enzyme, but was a poor substrate for CaM kinase II and did not bind the 14-3-3 protein. Likewise, a synthetic phosphopeptide (FRRAVpSELDA) corresponding to the part of the TH sequence, including phosphoSer-19, inhibited the interaction between the expressed TH and 14-3-3, while the phosphopeptide (GRRQpSLIED) corresponding to the site of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation (Ser-40) had little effect on complex formation. The complex was very stable with a dissociation constant of 3 nM. Furthermore, analysis of PC12nnr5 cells transfected with myc-tagged 14-3-3 showed that 14-3-3 formed a complex with endogenous TH when the cultured cells were exposed to a high K(+) concentration that increases intracellular Ca(2+) and phosphorylation of Ser-19 in TH. These findings suggest that the 14-3-3 protein participates in the stimulus-coupled regulation of catecholamine synthesis that occurs in response to depolarization-evoked, Ca(2+)-dependent phosphorylation of TH.  相似文献

Endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) plays a central role in cardiovascular regulation. eNOS function is critically modulated by Ca(2+) and protein phosphorylation, but the interrelationship between intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization and eNOS phosphorylation is poorly understood. Here we show that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) release activates eNOS by selectively promoting its Ser-635/633 (bovine/human) phosphorylation. With bovine endothelial cells, thapsigargin-induced ER Ca(2+) release caused a dose-dependent increase in eNOS Ser-635 phosphorylation, leading to elevated NO production. ER Ca(2+) release also promoted eNOS Ser-633 phosphorylation in mouse vessels in vivo. This effect was independent of extracellular Ca(2+) and selective to Ser-635 because the phosphorylation status of other eNOS sites, including Ser-1179 or Thr-497, was unaffected in thapsigargin-treated cells. Blocking ERK1/2 abolished ER Ca(2+) release-induced eNOS Ser-635 phosphorylation, whereas inhibiting protein kinase A or Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II had no effect. Protein phosphorylation assay confirmed that ERK1/2 directly phosphorylated the eNOS Ser-635 residue in vitro. Further studies demonstrated that ER Ca(2+) release-induced ERK1/2 activation mediated the enhancing action of purine or bradykinin receptor stimulation on eNOS Ser-635/633 phosphorylation in bovine/human endothelial cells. Mutating the Ser-635 to nonphosphorylatable alanine prevented ATP from activating eNOS in cells. Taken together, these studies reveal that ER Ca(2+) release enhances eNOS Ser-635 phosphorylation and function via ERK1/2 activation. Because ER Ca(2+) is commonly mobilized by agonists or physicochemical stimuli, the identified ER Ca(2+)-ERK1/2-eNOS Ser-635 phosphorylation pathway may have a broad role in the regulation of endothelial function.  相似文献

Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaM-kinases) I and IV are activated upon phosphorylation of their Thr(177) and Thr(196), respectively, by the upstream Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases CaM-kinase kinase alpha and beta, and deactivated upon dephosphorylation by protein phosphatases such as CaM-kinase phosphatase. Recent studies demonstrated that the activity of CaM-kinase kinase alpha is decreased upon phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), and the relationship between the inhibition and phosphorylation of CaM-kinase kinase alpha by PKA has been studied. In the present study, we demonstrate that the activity of CaM-kinase kinase alpha toward PKIV peptide, which contains the sequence surrounding Thr(196) of CaM-kinase IV, is increased by incubation with PKA in the presence of Ca(2+)/calmodulin but decreased in its absence, while the activity toward CaM-kinase IV is decreased by incubation with PKA in both the presence and absence of Ca(2+)/calmodulin. Six phosphorylation sites on CaM-kinase kinase alpha, Ser(24) for autophosphorylation, and Ser(52), Ser(74), Thr(108), Ser(458), and Ser(475) for phosphorylation by PKA, were identified by amino acid sequence analysis of the phosphopeptides purified from the tryptic digest of the phosphorylated enzymes. The presence of Ca(2+)/calmodulin suppresses phosphorylation on Ser(52), Ser(74), Thr(108), and Ser(458) by PKA, but accelerates phosphorylation on Ser(475). The changes in the activity of the enzyme upon phosphorylation appear to occur as a result of conformational changes induced by phosphorylation on several sites.  相似文献

Rat liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase to 2.6 mol phosphate/mol subunit but not by Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases. It was demonstrated that phosphorylation of Ser-341 and Ser-356, and to a much lower extent, Ser-338, was dependent on the presence of intact arginine residues. This observation implicates that the intact three-dimensional structure of the substrate is necessary for phosphorylation of Ser-356 since the closest arginine is located at a six amino acid residue distance.  相似文献

We demonstrated previously that 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), a key enzyme in leukotriene biosynthesis, can be phosphorylated by p38 MAPK-regulated MAPKAP kinases (MKs). Here we show that mutation of Ser-271 to Ala in 5-LO abolished MK2 catalyzed phosphorylation and clearly reduced phosphorylation by kinases prepared from stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes and Mono Mac 6 cells. Compared with heat shock protein 27 (Hsp-27), 5-LO was a weak substrate for MK2. However, the addition of unsaturated fatty acids (i.e. arachidonate 1-50 microm) up-regulated phosphorylation of 5-LO, but not of Hsp-27, by active MK2 in vitro, resulting in a similar phosphorylation as for Hsp-27. 5-LO was phosphorylated also by other serine/threonine kinases recognizing the motif Arg-Xaa-Xaa-Ser (protein kinase A, Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinase II), but these activities were not increased by fatty acids. HeLa cells expressing wild type 5-LO or S271A-5-LO, showed prominent 5-LO activity when incubated with Ca(2+)-ionophore plus arachidonate. However, when stimulated with only exogenous arachidonic acid, activity for the S271A mutant was significantly lower as compared with wild type 5-LO. It appears that phosphorylation at Ser-271 is more important for 5-LO activity induced by a stimulus that does not prominently increase intracellular Ca(2+) and that arachidonic acid stimulates leukotriene biosynthesis also by promoting this MK2-catalyzed phosphorylation.  相似文献

Invited review: regulation of myosin phosphorylation in smooth muscle.   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10  
Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chains of myosin II (rMLC) by the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) and dephosphorylation by a type 1 phosphatase (MLCP), which is targeted to myosin by a regulatory subunit (MYPT1), are the predominant mechanisms of regulation of smooth muscle tone. The activities of both enzymes are modulated by several protein kinases. MLCK is inhibited by the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, whereas the activity of MLCP is increased by cGMP and perhaps also cAMP-dependent protein kinases. In either case, this results in a decrease in the Ca(2+) sensitivity of rMLC phosphorylation and force production. The activity of MLCP is inhibited by Rho-associated kinase, one of the effectors of the monomeric GTPase Rho, and protein kinase C, leading to an increase in Ca(2+) sensitivity. Hence, smooth muscle tone appears to be regulated by a network of activating and inactivating intracellular signaling cascades.  相似文献

The phosphorylation state of six cytoplasmic proteins is increased following treatment of isolated rat hepatocytes with hormones that elevate free intracellular Ca2+ levels (Garrison, J. C. and Wagner, J. D. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 13135-13143). Tryptic 32P-phosphopeptide maps of two of the substrates, pyruvate kinase and a 49,000-dalton protein, the major 32P-labeled protein in hepatocytes, were prepared following stimulation of cells with vasopressin, a Ca2+-linked hormone. Peptide maps of the 49,000-dalton protein phosphorylated in vitro with the recently identified multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase contained phosphopeptides identical to those observed in the intact cell, suggesting that this kinase is activated in response to Ca2+-mobilizing hormones. Similar in vitro phosphorylation experiments with pyruvate kinase suggested that the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase can phosphorylate not only the serine residues observed following vasopressin stimulation of the intact cell but also additional threonine residues. Both pyruvate kinase and the 49,000-dalton protein are also phosphorylated in the hepatocyte in response to glucagon and in vitro by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Both vasopressin and glucagon appear to stimulate the phosphorylation of identical serine residues in pyruvate kinase but only vasopressin enhances the phosphorylation of certain sites in the 49,000-dalton protein. Comparison of the tryptic phosphopeptide maps of these substrates phosphorylated in vitro with either the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase or the cAMP-dependent protein kinase suggests that the Ca2+-dependent kinase can phosphorylate unique sites in both substrates. It appears to share specificity at other sites with the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Overall, the results suggest that the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase plays an important role in the response of the hepatocyte to a Ca2+ signal.  相似文献

Changes in glycolytic flux have been observed in liver under conditions where effects of cAMP seem unlikely. We have, therefore, studied the phosphorylation of four enzymes involved in the regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis (6-phosphofructo-1-kinase from rat liver and rabbit muscle; pyruvate kinase, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from rat liver) by defined concentrations of two cAMP-independent protein kinases: Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). The results were compared with those obtained with the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The following results were obtained. 1. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase and L-type pyruvate kinase at a slightly lower rate as compared to cAMP-dependent protein kinase. 2. 6-Phosphofructo-1-kinase is phosphorylated by the two kinases at a single identical position. There is no additive phosphorylation. The final stoichiometry is 2 mol phosphate/mol tetramer. The same holds for L-type pyruvate kinase except that the stoichiometry with either kinase or both kinases together is 4 mol phosphate/mol tetramer. 3. Rabbit muscle 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase but not by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. 4. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from rat but not from rabbit liver is phosphorylated at the same position but at a markedly lower rate by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase when compared to the phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. 5. 6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase is phosphorylated by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase only at a negligible rate. 6. Protein kinase C does not seem to be involved in the regulation of the enzymes examined: only 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase became phosphorylated to a significant degree. In contrast to the phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, this phosphorylation is not associated with a change of enzyme activity. This agrees with our observation that the sites of phosphorylation by the two kinases are different. The results indicate that Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase but not protein kinase C could be involved in the regulation of hepatic glycolytic flux under conditions where changes in the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase seem unlikely.  相似文献

Endogenous phosphorylation of the crude membrane fraction of cultured 3Y1 fibroblast cells was enhanced by the addition of Ca2+/calmodulin. Both Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity and its substrate were present in a cytoskeletal fraction, obtained as a pellet after washing of the membrane fraction with 2 mM EGTA, 0.6 M NaCl, and 1% Triton X-100. The phosphorylatable protein in the Triton X-insoluble fraction was identified by immunoblotting as vimentin. This endogenous phosphorylation induced by calmodulin was inhibited by the addition of KN-62, a specific Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II inhibitor, in a dose-dependent manner. However, phosphorylation of the 59 kDa protein (vimentin) in this fraction was not stimulated by adding both phosphatidyl serine and cAMP, thereby suggesting the absence of protein kinase C or of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in this fraction. The protein kinase associated with the Triton X-insoluble fraction phosphorylated the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II-specific site of synapsin I from the bovine cortex. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide maps of vimentin indicated that a major phosphopeptide phosphorylated by the endogenous calmodulin-dependent kinase also appears to be the same as a major phosphopeptide phosphorylated by the exogenous Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Our results suggest that cytoskeleton-associated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II regulates dynamic cellular functions through the phosphorylation of cytoskeletal elements in non-neural cells.  相似文献

Enzymatic properties and the protein pattern of sarcolemma fractions isolated from three groups of rabbits: euthyroid, hyperthyroid and hypothyroid, were studied. The amount of phosphorylated intermediate formed by the calmodulin-dependent (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPase and the activity of this enzyme as well as that of (Na+-K+)ATPase were the highest in membranes isolated at the hyperthyroid state. On the other hand, sarcolemma obtained from the hypothyroid animals exhibited a decreased activity of (Na+-K+)ATPase, while the activity of calmodulin-dependent (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPase was the same as in the preparations obtained from euthyroid animals. Thyroid hormones also changed the protein pattern of muscle sarcolemma. Membranes isolated from hyperthyroid animals lacked peptides of apparent molecular masses of 41 kDa and 53 kDa, while a peptide of the apparent molecular mass of 63 kDa was enriched in the preparation from hypothyroid animals. Thyroid hormones affected endogenous cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation. The sarcolemma fraction obtained from hyperthyroid animals exhibited a decreased phosphorylation of peptides of apparent molecular masses of 30 kDa and 47 kDa, while the cAMP-independent phosphorylation of several other peptides was augmented. Moreover, sarcolemma preparations isolated from hyperthyroid animals showed higher activity of cAMP-independent protein kinase(s) and lower activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase when compared to the euthyroid preparations. It is proposed that thyroxine increases the content of calmodulin-dependent (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPase protein and affects the activity of cAMP-independent and cAMP-dependent protein kinases bound to sarcolemma.  相似文献

Nuclear Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphatase (CaMKP-N/PPM1E) is an enzyme that dephosphorylates and downregulates multifunctional Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs) as well as AMP-dependent protein kinase. In our previous study, we found that zebrafish CaMKP-N (zCaMKP-N) underwent proteolytic processing and translocated to cytosol in a proteasome inhibitor-sensitive manner. In the present study, we found that zCaMKP-N is regulated by phosphorylation at Ser-480. When zCaMKP-N was incubated with the activated CaMKI, time-dependent phosphorylation of the enzyme was observed. This phosphorylation was significantly reduced when Ser-480 was replaced by Ala, suggesting that CaMKI phosphorylates Ser-480 of zCaMKP-N. Phosphorylation-mimic mutants, S480D and S480E, showed higher phosphatase activities than those of wild type and S480A mutant in solution-based phosphatase assay using various substrates. Furthermore, autophosphorylation of CaMKII after ionomycin treatment was more severely attenuated in Neuro2a cells when CaMKII was cotransfected with the phosphorylation-mimic mutant of zCaMKP-N than with the wild-type or non-phosphorylatable zCaMKP-N. These results strongly suggest that phosphorylation of zCaMKP-N at Ser-480 by CaMKI activates CaMKP-N catalytic activity and thereby downregulates multifunctional CaMKs in the cytosol.  相似文献

To elucidate Ca(2+)-mediated regulation of aflatoxin production, the status of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation was investigated employing toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains of Aspergillus parasiticus. Incubation of cytoplasmic extracts with [gamma-(32)P]ATP followed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography revealed total absence of protein phosphorylation during periods corresponding to aflatoxin production in the toxigenic strain (NRRL 2999). In contrast, protein phosphorylation was unaffected in the non-toxigenic strain (SRRC 255). Aflatoxin production in the toxigenic strain was also accompanied by enhanced (26-fold) activity of calcineurin (calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase 2B) concomitant with a lowered (6-fold) activity of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. In addition, the in vitro activity of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase was susceptible to dose-dependent inhibition by aflatoxin. Since calcineurin remains active in the absence of phosphorylation by calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, it is suggested that calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation of regulatory enzymes ensures continued production of aflatoxins.  相似文献

Smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLC-kinase) was rapidly phosphorylated in vitro by the autophosphorylated form of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-kinase II) to a molar stoichiometry of 2.77 +/- 0.15 associated with a threefold increase in the concentration of calmodulin (CaM) required for half-maximal activation of MLC-kinase. Binding of CaM to MLC-kinase markedly reduced the phosphorylation stoichiometry to 0.21 +/- 0.05 and almost completely inhibited phosphorylation of sites in two peptides (32P-peptides P1 and P2) with reduced phosphorylation of peptide P3. By analogy, cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated MLC-kinase to a stoichiometry of 3.0 or greater in the absence of CaM with about a threefold decrease in the apparent affinity of MLC-kinase for CaM. Binding of CaM to MLC-kinase inhibited the phosphorylation to 0.84 +/- 0.13. Complete tryptic digests contained two major 32P-peptides as reported previously. One of the peptides, whose phosphorylation was inhibited in the presence of excess calmodulin, appeared to be the same as P2. Automated Edman sequence analysis suggested that both CaM-kinase II and cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated this peptide at the second of the two adjacent serine residues located at the C-terminal boundary of the CaM-binding domain. However, the other peptide phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, regardless of whether CaM was bound, was different from P1 and P3. Thus, MLC-kinase has a regulatory phosphorylation site(s) that is phosphorylated by the autophosphorylated form of CaM-kinase II and is blocked by Ca2+/CaM-binding.  相似文献

We found a novel 81-kDa acidic protein (ACAMP-81) in the bovine brain membrane fraction, which bound to calmodulin in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. The present study reveals physicochemical properties and phosphorylation of this protein with various protein kinases in vitro. The Stokes radius and sedimentation coefficient were calculated to be 52 A and 2.05 S, respectively, suggesting that the structure of ACAMP-81 is highly elongated. Purified Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C), cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (Ca2+/CaM kinase II) catalyzed the incorporation of 1.46, 0.72, and 0.44 mol of phosphate/mol of ACAMP-81, respectively. The amino acid residues of ACAMP-81 phosphorylated by either protein kinase C or cAMP-dependent protein kinase were almost exclusively on serine. Sequential phosphorylation of ACAMP-81 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C resulted in the additional incorporation of 1.15 mol of [32P]phosphate into ACAMP-81. Comparison of phosphopeptide maps of ACAMP-81 phosphorylated by each kinase revealed that there are two classes of phosphorylatable polypeptide, one is phosphorylatable by both protein kinases which contained two polypeptides and the others are specific sites for protein kinase C.  相似文献

The existence of two molecular switches regulating plant chimeric Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CCaMK), namely the C-terminal visinin-like domain acting as Ca(2+)-sensitive molecular switch and calmodulin binding domain acting as Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation-sensitive molecular switch, has been described (Sathyanarayanan, P. V., Cremo, C. R., and Poovaiah, B. W. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 30417-30422). Here we report the identification of Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation site of CCaMK by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight-mass spectrometry. Thr(267) was confirmed as the Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation site by post-source decay experiments and by site-directed mutagenesis. The purified T267A mutant form of CCaMK did not show Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation, autophosphorylation-dependent variable calmodulin affinity, or Ca(2+)/calmodulin stimulation of kinase activity. Sequence comparison of CCaMK from monocotyledonous plant (lily) and dicotyledonous plant (tobacco) suggests that the autophosphorylation site is conserved. This is the first identification of a phosphorylation site specifically responding to activation by second messenger system (Ca(2+) messenger system) in plants. Homology modeling of the kinase and calmodulin binding domain of CCaMK with the crystal structure of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 1 suggests that the Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation site is located on the surface of the kinase and far from the catalytic site. Analysis of Ca(2+)-stimulated autophosphorylation with increasing concentration of CCaMK indicates the possibility that the Ca(2+)-stimulated phosphorylation occurs by an intermolecular mechanism.  相似文献

Thrombin-induced endothelial cell barrier dysfunction is tightly linked to Ca(2+)-dependent cytoskeletal protein reorganization. In this study, we found that thrombin increased Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) activities in a Ca(2+)- and time-dependent manner in bovine pulmonary endothelium with maximal activity at 5 min. Pretreatment with KN-93, a specific CaM kinase II inhibitor, attenuated both thrombin-induced increases in monolayer permeability to albumin and decreases in transendothelial electrical resistance (TER). We next explored potential thrombin-induced CaM kinase II cytoskeletal targets and found that thrombin causes translocation and significant phosphorylation of nonmuscle filamin (ABP-280), which was attenuated by KN-93, whereas thrombin-induced myosin light chain phosphorylation was unaffected. Furthermore, a cell-permeable N-myristoylated synthetic filamin peptide (containing the COOH-terminal CaM kinase II phosphorylation site) attenuated both thrombin-induced filamin phosphorylation and decreases in TER. Together, these studies indicate that CaM kinase II activation and filamin phosphorylation may participate in thrombin-induced cytoskeletal reorganization and endothelial barrier dysfunction.  相似文献

Rat liver L-type pyruvate kinase was phosphorylated in vitro by a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase purified from rabbit liver. The calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase catalyzed incorporation of up to 1.7 mol of 32P/mol of pyruvate kinase subunit; maximum phosphorylation was associated with a 3.0-fold increase in the K0.5 for P-enolpyruvate. This compares to incorporation of 0.7 to 1.0 mol of 32P/mol catalyzed by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase with a 2-fold increase in K0.5 for P-enolpyruvate. When [32P]pyruvate kinase, phosphorylated by the CaM-dependent protein kinase, was subsequently incubated with 5 mM ADP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (kinase reversal conditions), 50-60% of the 32PO4 was removed from pyruvate kinase, but the K0.5 for P-enolpyruvate decreased only 20-30%. Identification of 32P-amino acids after partial acid hydrolysis showed that the CaM-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated both threonyl and seryl residues (ratio of 1:2, respectively) whereas the cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated only seryl groups. The two phosphorylation sites were present in the same 3-4-kDa CNBr fragment located near the amino terminus of the enzyme subunit. These results indicate that the CaM-dependent protein kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of L-type pyruvate kinase at two discrete sites. One site is apparently the same serine which is phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The second site is a unique threonine residue whose phosphorylation also inactivates pyruvate kinase by elevating the K0.5 for P-enolpyruvate. These results may account for the Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase observed in isolated hepatocytes.  相似文献
