Metacaspases are distant relatives of the metazoan caspases, found in plants, fungi, and protists. However, in contrast with caspases, information about the physiological substrates of metacaspases is still scarce. By means of N-terminal combined fractional diagonal chromatography, the physiological substrates of METACASPASE9 (MC9; AT5G04200) were identified in young seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana on the proteome-wide level, providing additional insight into MC9 cleavage specificity and revealing a previously unknown preference for acidic residues at the substrate prime site position P1′. The functionalities of the identified MC9 substrates hinted at metacaspase functions other than those related to cell death. These results allowed us to resolve the substrate specificity of MC9 in more detail and indicated that the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (AT4G37870), a key enzyme in gluconeogenesis, is enhanced upon MC9-dependent proteolysis. 相似文献

The binding of Hoechst 33258 and DAPI to five different (A/T)4 sequences in a stable DNA hairpin was studied exploiting the substantial increase in dye fluorescence upon binding. The two dyes have comparable affinities for the AATT site (e.g. association constant K(a)=5.5 x 10(8) M(-1) for DAPI), and their affinities decrease in the series AATT > TAAT approximately equal to ATAT > TATA approximately equal to TTAA. The extreme values of K(a) differ by a factor of 200 for Hoechst 33258 but only 30 for DAPI. The binding kinetics of Hoechst 33258 were measured by stopped-flow under pseudo-first order conditions with an (A/T)4 site in excess. The lower-resolution experiments can be well represented by single exponential processes, corresponding to a single-step binding mechanism. The calculated association-rate parameters for the five (A/T)4 sites are similar (2.46 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) to 0.86 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1)) and nearly diffusion-controlled, while the dissociation-rate parameters vary from 0.42 s(-1) to 96 s(-1). Thus the association constants are kinetically controlled and are close to their equilibrium-determined values. However, when obtained with increased signal-to-noise ratio, the kinetic traces for Hoechst 33258 binding at the AATT site reveal two components. The concentration dependencies of the two time constants and amplitudes are consistent with two different kinetically equivalent two-step models. In the first model, fast bimolecular binding is followed by an isomerization of the initial complex. In the second model, two single-step associations form two complexes that mutually exclude each other. For both models the four reaction-rate parameters are calculated. Finally, specific dissociation kinetics, using poly[d(A-5BrU)], show that the kinetics are even more complex than either two-step model. We correlate our results with the different binding orientations and locations of Hoechst 33258 in the DNA minor groove found in several structural studies in the literature. 相似文献

Identifying the sulfenylation state of stressed cells is emerging as a strategic approach for the detection of key reactive oxygen species signaling proteins. Here, we optimized an in vivo trapping method for cysteine sulfenic acids in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stressed plant cells using a dimedone based DYn-2 probe. We demonstrated that DYn-2 specifically detects sulfenylation events in an H2O2 dose- and time-dependent way. With mass spectrometry, we identified 226 sulfenylated proteins after H2O2 treatment of Arabidopsis cells, residing in the cytoplasm (123); plastid (68); mitochondria (14); nucleus (10); endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and plasma membrane (7) and peroxisomes (4). Of these, 123 sulfenylated proteins have never been reported before to undergo cysteine oxidative post-translational modifications in plants. All in all, with this DYn-2 approach, we have identified new sulfenylated proteins, and gave a first glance on the locations of the sulfenomes of Arabidopsis thaliana.Among the different amino acids, the sulfur containing amino acids like cysteine are particularly susceptible to oxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS)1 (1, 2). Recent studies suggest that the sulfenome, the initial oxidation products of cysteine residues, functions as an intermediate state of redox signaling (3
–5). Thus, identifying the sulfenome under oxidative stress is a way to detect potential redox sensors (6, 7).This central role of the sulfenome in redox signaling provoked chemical biologists to develop strategies for sensitive detection and identification of sulfenylated proteins. The in situ trapping of the sulfenome is challenging because of two major factors: (1) the highly reactive, transient nature of sulfenic acids, which might be over-oxidized in excess of ROS, unless immediately protected by disulfide formation (7); (2) the intracellular compartmentalization of the redox state that might be disrupted during extraction procedures, resulting in artificial non-native protein oxidations (8, 9). Having a sulfur oxidation state of zero, sulfenic acids can react as both electrophile and nucleophile, however, direct detection methods are based on the electrophilic character of sulfenic acid (10). In 1974, Allison and coworkers reported a condensation reaction between the electrophilic sulfenic acid and the nucleophile dimedone (5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione), producing a corresponding thioether derivative (11). This chemistry is highly selective and, since then, has been exploited to detect dimedone modified sulfenic acids using mass spectrometry (12). However, dimedone has limited applications for cellular sulfenome identification because of the lack of a functional group to enrich the dimedone tagged sulfenic acids. Later, dimedone-biotin/fluorophores conjugates have been developed, which allowed sensitive detection and enrichment of sulfenic acid modified proteins (13
–15). This approach, however, was not always compatible with in vivo cellular sulfenome analysis, because the biotin/fluorophores-conjugated dimedone is membrane impermeable (9) and endogenous biotinylated proteins might appear as false positives.More recently, the Carroll lab has developed DYn-2, a sulfenic acid specific chemical probe. This chemical probe consists of two functional units: a dimedone scaffold for sulfenic acid recognition and an alkyne chemical handle for enrichment of labeled proteins (9). Once the sulfenic acids are tagged with the DYn-2 probe, they can be biotinylated through click chemistry (16). The click reaction used here is a copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (17), also known as azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition (16). With this chemistry, a complex is formed between the alkyne functionalized DYn-2 and the azide functionalized biotin. This biotin functional group facilitates downstream detection, enrichment, and mass spectrometry based identification (Fig. 1). In an evaluation experiment, DYn-2 was found to efficiently detect H2O2-dependent sulfenic acid modifications in recombinant glutathione peroxidase 3 (Gpx3) of budding yeast (18). Moreover, it was reported that DYn-2 is membrane permeable, non-toxic, and a non-influencer of the intracellular redox balance (17, 18). Therefore, DYn-2 has been suggested as a global sulfenome reader in living cells (17, 18), and has been applied to investigate epidermal growth factor (EGF) mediated protein sulfenylation in a human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cell line and to identify intracellular protein targets of H2O2 during cell signaling (17).Open in a separate windowFig. 1.Schematic views of the molecular mechanism of the DYn-2 probe and the strategy to identify DYn-2 trapped sulfenylated proteins.
A, DYn-2 specifically detects sulfenic acid modifications, but no other thiol modifications. B, Biotinylation of the DYn-2 tagged proteins by click reaction. C, Once DYn-2 tagged proteins are biotinylated, a streptavidin-HRP (Strep-HRP) blot visualizes sulfenylation, or alternatively, after enrichment on avidin beads, proteins are identified by mass spectrometry analysis.Here, we selected the DYn-2 probe to identify the sulfenome in plant cells under oxidative stress. Through a combination of biochemical, immunoblot and mass spectrometry techniques, and TAIR10 database and SUBA3-software predictions, we can claim that DYn-2 is able to detect sulfenic acids on proteins located in different subcellular compartments of plant cells. We identified 226 sulfenylated proteins in response to an H2O2 treatment of Arabidopsis cell suspensions, of which 123 proteins are new candidates for cysteine oxidative post-translational modification (PTM) events. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a multitude of signaling roles in different organisms from bacteria to mammalian cells. They were initially thought to be toxic byproducts of aerobic metabolism, but have now been acknowledged as central players in the complex signaling network of cells. In this review, we will attempt to address several key questions related to the use of ROS as signaling molecules in cells, including the dynamics and specificity of ROS signaling, networking of ROS with other signaling pathways, ROS signaling within and across different cells, ROS waves and the evolution of the ROS gene network. 相似文献
