Inducible NO synthase: role in cellular signalling. (1/16369)

The discovery of endothelium-derived relaxing factor and its identification as nitric oxide (NO) was one of the most exciting discoveries of biomedical research in the 1980s. Besides its potent vasodilatory effects, NO was found under certain circumstances to be responsible for the killing of microorganisms and tumour cells by activated macrophages and to act as a novel, unconventional type of neurotransmitter. In 1992, Science picked NO as the 'Molecule of the Year', and over the past years NO has become established as a universal intercellular messenger that acutely affects important signalling pathways and, on a more long-term scale, modulates gene expression in target cells. These actions will form the focus of the present review.  (+info)

JNK2 is required for efficient T-cell activation and apoptosis but not for normal lymphocyte development. (2/16369)

BACKGROUND: The Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway has been implicated in cell proliferation and apoptosis, but its function seems to depend on the cell type and inducing signal. In T cells, JNK has been implicated in both antigen-induced activation and apoptosis. RESULTS: We generated mice lacking the JNK2 isozymes. The mutant mice were healthy and fertile but defective in peripheral T-cell activation induced by antibody to the CD3 component of the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex - proliferation and production of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) were reduced. The proliferation defect was restored by exogenous IL-2. B-cell activation was normal in the absence of JNK2. Activation-induced peripheral T-cell apoptosis was comparable between mutant and wild-type mice, but immature (CD4(+) CD8(+)) thymocytes lacking JNK2 were resistant to apoptosis induced by administration of anti-CD3 antibody in vivo. The lack of JNK2 also resulted in partial resistance of thymocytes to anti-CD3 antibody in vitro, but had little or no effect on apoptosis induced by anti-Fas antibody, dexamethasone or ultraviolet-C (UVC) radiation. CONCLUSIONS: JNK2 is essential for efficient activation of peripheral T cells but not B cells. Peripheral T-cell activation is probably required indirectly for induction of thymocyte apoptosis resulting from administration of anti-CD3 antibody in vivo. JNK2 functions in a cell-type-specific and stimulus-dependent manner, being required for apoptosis of immature thymocytes induced by anti-CD3 antibody but not for apoptosis induced by anti-Fas antibody, UVC or dexamethasone. JNK2 is not required for activation-induced cell death of mature T cells.  (+info)

The Jun kinase 2 isoform is preferentially required for epidermal growth factor-induced transformation of human A549 lung carcinoma cells. (3/16369)

We have previously found that epidermal growth factor (EGF) mediates growth through the Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated kinase (JNK/SAPK) pathway in A549 human lung carcinoma cells. As observed here, EGF treatment also greatly enhances the tumorigenicity of A549 cells, suggesting an important role for JNK in cancer cell growth (F. Bost, R. McKay, N. Dean, and D. Mercola, J. Biol. Chem. 272:33422-33429, 1997). Several isoforms families of JNK, JNK1, JNK2, and JNK3, have been isolated; they arise from alternative splicing of three different genes and have distinct substrate binding properties. Here we have used specific phosphorothioate oligonucleotides targeted against the two major isoforms, JNK1 and JNK2, to discriminate their roles in EGF-induced transformation. Multiple antisense sequences have been screened, and two high-affinity and specific candidates have been identified. Antisense JNK1 eliminated steady-state mRNA and JNK1 protein expression with a 50% effective concentration (EC50) of <0.1 microM but did not alter JNK2 mRNA or protein levels. Conversely, antisense JNK2 specifically eliminated JNK2 steady-state mRNA and protein expression with an EC50 of 0.1 microM. Antisense JNK1 and antisense JNK2 inhibited by 40 and 70%, respectively, EGF-induced total JNK activity, whereas sense and scrambled-sequence control oligonucleotides had no effect. The elimination of mRNA, protein, and JNK activities lasted 48 and 72 h following a single Lipofectin treatment with antisense JNK1 and JNK2, respectively, indicating sufficient duration for examining the impact of specific elimination on the phenotype. Direct proliferation assays demonstrated that antisense JNK2 inhibited EGF-induced doubling of growth as well as the combination of active antisense oligonucleotides did. EGF treatment also induced colony formation in soft agar. This effect was completely inhibited by antisense JNK2 and combined-antisense treatment but not altered by antisense JNK1 alone. These results show that EGF doubles the proliferation (growth in soft agar as well as tumorigenicity in athymic mice) of A549 lung carcinoma cells and that the JNK2 isoform but not JNK1 is utilized for mediating the effects of EGF. This study represents the first demonstration of a cellular phenotype regulated by a JNK isoform family, JNK2.  (+info)

A novel genetic screen for snRNP assembly factors in yeast identifies a conserved protein, Sad1p, also required for pre-mRNA splicing. (4/16369)

The assembly pathway of spliceosomal snRNPs in yeast is poorly understood. We devised a screen to identify mutations blocking the assembly of newly synthesized U4 snRNA into a functional snRNP. Fifteen mutant strains failing either to accumulate the newly synthesized U4 snRNA or to assemble a U4/U6 particle were identified and categorized into 13 complementation groups. Thirteen previously identified splicing-defective prp mutants were also assayed for U4 snRNP assembly defects. Mutations in the U4/U6 snRNP components Prp3p, Prp4p, and Prp24p led to disassembly of the U4/U6 snRNP particle and degradation of the U6 snRNA, while prp17-1 and prp19-1 strains accumulated free U4 and U6 snRNA. A detailed analysis of a newly identified mutant, the sad1-1 mutant, is presented. In addition to having the snRNP assembly defect, the sad1-1 mutant is severely impaired in splicing at the restrictive temperature: the RP29 pre-mRNA strongly accumulates and splicing-dependent production of beta-galactosidase from reporter constructs is abolished, while extracts prepared from sad1-1 strains fail to splice pre-mRNA substrates in vitro. The sad1-1 mutant is the only splicing-defective mutant analyzed whose mutation preferentially affects assembly of newly synthesized U4 snRNA into the U4/U6 particle. SAD1 encodes a novel protein of 52 kDa which is essential for cell viability. Sad1p localizes to the nucleus and is not stably associated with any of the U snRNAs. Sad1p contains a putative zinc finger and is phylogenetically highly conserved, with homologues identified in human, Caenorhabditis elegans, Arabidospis, and Drosophila.  (+info)

Jun kinase phosphorylates and regulates the DNA binding activity of an octamer binding protein, T-cell factor beta1. (5/16369)

POU domain proteins have been implicated as key regulators during development and lymphocyte activation. The POU domain protein T-cell factor beta1 (TCFbeta1), which binds octamer and octamer-related sequences, is a potent transactivator. In this study, we showed that TCFbeta1 is phosphorylated following activation via the T-cell receptor or by stress-induced signals. Phosphorylation of TCFbeta1 occurred predominantly at serine and threonine residues. Signals which upregulate Jun kinase (JNK)/stress-activated protein kinase activity also lead to association of JNK with TCFbeta1. JNK associates with the activation domain of TCFbeta1 and phosphorylates its DNA binding domain. The phosphorylation of recombinant TCFbeta1 by recombinant JNK enhances the ability of TCFbeta1 to bind to a consensus octamer motif. Consistent with this conclusion, TCFbeta1 upregulates reporter gene transcription in an activation- and JNK-dependent manner. In addition, inhibition of JNK activity by catalytically inactive MEKK (in which methionine was substituted for the lysine at position 432) also inhibits the ability of TCFbeta1 to drive inducible transcription from the interleukin-2 promoter. These results suggest that stress-induced signals and T-cell activation induce JNK, which then acts on multiple cis sequences by modulating distinct transactivators like c-Jun and TCFbeta1. This demonstrates a coupling between the JNK activation pathway and POU domain proteins and implicates TCFbeta1 as a physiological target in the JNK signal transduction pathway leading to coordinated biological responses.  (+info)

Functions of cyclin A1 in the cell cycle and its interactions with transcription factor E2F-1 and the Rb family of proteins. (6/16369)

Human cyclin A1, a newly discovered cyclin, is expressed in testis and is thought to function in the meiotic cell cycle. Here, we show that the expression of human cyclin A1 and cyclin A1-associated kinase activities was regulated during the mitotic cell cycle. In the osteosarcoma cell line MG63, cyclin A1 mRNA and protein were present at very low levels in cells at the G0 phase. They increased during the progression of the cell cycle and reached the highest levels in the S and G2/M phases. Furthermore, the cyclin A1-associated histone H1 kinase activity peaked at the G2/M phase. We report that cyclin A1 could bind to important cell cycle regulators: the Rb family of proteins, the transcription factor E2F-1, and the p21 family of proteins. The in vitro interaction of cyclin A1 with E2F-1 was greatly enhanced when cyclin A1 was complexed with CDK2. Associations of cyclin A1 with Rb and E2F-1 were observed in vivo in several cell lines. When cyclin A1 was coexpressed with CDK2 in sf9 insect cells, the CDK2-cyclin A1 complex had kinase activities for histone H1, E2F-1, and the Rb family of proteins. Our results suggest that the Rb family of proteins and E2F-1 may be important targets for phosphorylation by the cyclin A1-associated kinase. Cyclin A1 may function in the mitotic cell cycle in certain cells.  (+info)

The bystander effect in the HSVtk/ganciclovir system and its relationship to gap junctional communication. (7/16369)

The bystander effect (BSE) is an interesting and important property of the herpes thymidine kinase/ganciclovir (hTK/GCV) system of gene therapy for cancer. With the BSE, not only are the hTK expressing cells killed upon ganciclovir (GCV) exposure but also neighboring wild-type tumor cells. On testing a large number of tumor cell lines in vitro, a wide range of sensitivity to bystander killing was found. Since transfer of toxic GCV metabolites from hTK-modified to wild-type tumor cells via gap junctions (GJ) seemed to be a likely mechanism of the BSE, we tested GJ function in these various tumors with a dye transfer technique and pharmacological agents known to affect GJ communication. We confirmed that mixtures of tumor cell resistant to the BSE did not show dye transfer from cell to cell while bystander-sensitive tumor cells did. Dieldrin, a drug known to decrease GJ communication, diminished dye transfer and also inhibited the BSE. Forskolin, an upregulator of cAMP did increase GJ, but directly inhibited hTK and therefore its effect on BSE could not be determined. We conclude that these observations further support port the concept that functional GJ play an important role in the BSE and further suggest that pharmacological manipulation of GJ may influence the outcome of cancer therapy with hTK/GCV.  (+info)

Herpes virus induced proteasome-dependent degradation of the nuclear bodies-associated PML and Sp100 proteins. (8/16369)

The PML protein is associated to nuclear bodies (NBs) whose functions are as yet unknown. PML and two other NBs-associated proteins, Sp100 And ISG20 are directly induced by interferons (IFN). PML and Sp100 proteins are covalently linked to SUMO-1, and ubiquitin-like peptide. PML NBs are disorganized in acute promyelocytic leukemia and during several DNA virus infections. In particular, the HSV-1 ICP0 protein is known to delocalize PML from NBs. Thus, NBs could play an important role in oncogenesis, IFN response and viral infections. Here, we show that HSV-1 induced PML protein degradation without altering its mRNA level. This degradation was time- and multiplicity of infection-dependent. Sp100 protein was also degraded, while another SUMO-1 conjugated protein, RanGAP1 and the IFN-induced protein kinase PKR were not. The proteasome inhibitor MG132 abrogated the HSV-1-induced PML and Sp100 degradation and partially restored their NB-localization. HSV-1 induced PML and Sp100 degradation constitutes a new example of viral inactivation of IFN target gene products.  (+info)

The subcellular distribution of protein kinase activity in isolated islets of Langerhans was determined. The majority (70%) of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity was located in the S-100 (soluble) fraction, while the majority (42%) of cyclic AMP-independent activity was located in the solublised P-100 (containing mitochondria, secretory granules and microsomes) fraction. Partial characterisation of the islet cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity revealed the presence of two isozymes designated Type I and Type II. Type II kinase was the predominant isozyme of the S-100 fraction and Type I was the predominant isozyme found in the solublised P-100 fraction. Nonidet-P40 (a non-ionic detergent) was found to activate the S-100 cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity, although no significant increase in protein kinase activity was observed when the P-0.6 (containing nuclei and cellular debris) fraction and P-100 fraction were solublised with Nonidet-P40.

An antiserum against the catalytic subunit C of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, isolated from bovine heart type II protein kinase, was produced in rabbits. Reaction of the catalytic subunit with antiserum and separation of the immunoglobulin G fraction by Protein A-Sepharose quantitatively removed the enzyme from solutions. Comparative immunotitration of protein kinases showed that the amount of antiserum required to eliminate 50% of the enzymic activity was identical for pure catalytic subunit, and for holoenzymes type I and type II. The reactivity of the holoenzymes with the antiserum was identical in the absence or the presence of dissociating concentrations of cyclic AMP. Most of the holoenzyme (type II) remains intact when bound to the antibodies as shown by quantification of the regulatory subunit in the supernatant of the immunoprecipitate. Titration with the antibodies also revealed the presence of a cyclic AMP-independent histone kinase in bovine heart protein kinase I preparations ...

The occurrence of endogenous substrate proteins for Ca2+-dependent protein kinase, augmented by either phospholipid or calmodulin, and for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was examined in homogenates and subcellular fractions of mouse pancreatic islets. Islet protein phosphorylation was enhanced by Ca2+-calmodulin; the major endogenous substrates in the homogenate were two proteins of Mr 53000 and 100000. The Mr-100000 phosphoprotein was localized to a 27000g-supernatant fraction, whereas the Mr-53000 phosphoprotein was present in a 27000g particulate fraction of mouse islets. In the presence of Ca2+, phosphatidylserine stimulated phosphorylation of 15 proteins, of Mr 17000-190000, in a 27000g-supernatant fraction. No effects of Ca2+ plus phosphatidylserine were observed in a 27000g particulate fraction of mouse islets.

Lung cancer results when normal check and balance system of cell division is disrupted and ultimately the cells divide and proliferate in an uncontrollable manner forming a mass of cells in our body, known as tumor. Frequent mutations in Protein Kinase Domain alter the process of phosphorylation which results in abnormality in regulations of cell apoptosis and differentiation. Tyrosine Protein kinases and Serine/Threonine Protein Kinases are the two broad classes of protein kinases in accordance to their substrate specificity. The study of Tyrosine protein kinase and serine Kinase coding regions have the importance of sequence and structure determinants of cancer-causing mutations from mutation-dependent activation process.

We have expressed Arabidopsis homologs of MEK and MAPK in E. coli and purified them to apparent homogeneity using affinity chromatography. Consistent with their similarity to other protein kinases, both possess intrinsic protein kinase activity, as determined by in vitro phosphorylation assays. Purified, recombinant AtMEK1 was able to phosphorylate and activate ATMPK4 in vitro, which indicates that a plant MEK homolog is able to phosphorylate and activate a MAPK from plants.. Activation of animal MAPK is achieved by phosphorylation of both Tyr and Thr by the dual-specificity kinase MEK. Similarly, in order for ATMPK4 to be highly active requires phosphorylation of both Tyr and Thr residues, as demonstrated using phospho-Tyr-specific phosphatases and antibodies. This is consistent with the findings of Ádám et al. (1997), who utilized an animal Tyr phosphatase to demonstrate that Tyr phosphorylation is required for full activity of a myelin basic protein kinase from harpin-treated tobacco ...
Since the publication of Protein Kinases in 1994 many novel protein kinases have been discovered, but perhaps more importantly there have been dramatic advances in our understanding of the cellular functions of this remarkably diverse class of proteins. Protein Kinase Functions is not just an update of the previous edition but provides a new focus on the context and function of protein kinases, thus reflecting the recent advances in kinase biology.

N2 - The P68 protein kinase (referred to as P68 based on its Mr of 68,000 in human cells) is a serine/threonine kinase induced by interferon treatment and activated by dsRNAs. The kinase is under tight controls in virus-infected cells since once activated, it phosphorylates its natural substrate eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (elF-2), leading to potential limitations in functional elF-2 and decreases in protein synthesis initiation. To further delineate the molecular mechanisms underlying kinase regulation, we attempted to express the P68 protein kinase in insect cells using a baculovirus vector. Repeated efforts to isolate recombinant ...

Protein kinase function is evolutionarily conserved from Escherichia coli to human [(PUBMED:12471243)]. Protein kinases play a role in a multitude of cellular processes, including division, proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation [(PUBMED:12368087)]. Phosphorylation usually results in a functional change of the target protein by changing enzyme activity, cellular location, or association with other proteins. The catalytic subunits of protein kinases are highly conserved, and several structures have been solved [(PUBMED:15078142)], leading to large screens to develop kinase-specific inhibitors for the treatments of a number of diseases [(PUBMED:15320712)]..

The KinG database is a comprehensive collection of serine/threonine/tyrosine-specific kinases and their homologues identified in various completed genomes using sequence and profile search methods. The database hosted at http://hodgkin. mbu.iisc.ernet.in/~king provides the amino acid sequences, functional domain assignments and classification of gene products containing protein kinase domains. A search tool enabling the retrieval of protein kinases with specified subfamily and domain combinations is one of the key features of the resource. Identification of a kinase catalytic domain in the users query sequence is possible using another search tool. The occurrence and location of critical catalytic residues if the query has a catalytic kinase domain, recognition of non-kinase domains in the sequence and subfamily classification of the kinase in the query will help in deciphering the biological role of the kinase. This online compilation can also be used to compare the protein kinases of a given ...
Purpose : Protein kinases play an important role in several cell processes such as proliferation, transcription, and pathologic changes. Kinase inhibitors have thus been proposed for treatment against diseases including cancer. In ophthalmology, ROCK inhibitor has already been launched as an antiglaucoma drug in Japan. However, discovery of small molecule inhibitors for specific protein kinases is still challenging. This is because approximately 500 protein kinases exist and more than 2,000 other purine-binding proteins share similar ATP binding pockets of kinases. The purpose of this study was to develop an in silico method for identifying potential kinase inhibitors, and the anticancer drug axitinib was used as a representative kinase inhibitor. Methods : Sequences for 9 typical kinases were compared to VEGFR tyrosine kinase, the three amino acid sequences on the hinge region of each kinase were identified, and the surfaces of the ATP binding cavities in the kinases were analyzed in silico ...

Each fraction contained a heterogeneous group of proteins and possibly more than one protein kinase. These fractions were characterized with respect to specific activity and optimal concentrations of Mg2+ and Mn2+. The ability of each kinase fraction to catalyze the incorporation of 32P from [γ-32P]ATP into various molecular weight classes of heat-inactivated non-histone nuclear phosphoproteins (as substrate) was examined by electrophoretically resolving the proteins in SDS-polyacrylamide gels. Each kinase fraction induced a distinctive ...
The kinase complement of the human genome, the kinome, provided a start point for comprehensive investigation of protein phosphorylation. Manning et al. identified 518 protein kinase genes and 106 protein kinase pseudogenes in human (Manning et al., 2002 Science). Most protein kinases contain a conserved catalytic domain belonging to the eukaryotic protein kinase (ePK) superfamily (all other protein kinases are classified as atypical protein kinases, or aPKs). ePKs are classified into 7 major groups, including AGC, CAMK, CK1, CMGC, STE, TK, and TKL, and are subdivided into families, and sometimes subfamilies, based on the sequence of their ePK domains. All 518 human kinases are listed as following, users can clikc into the URL link to investigate the detail information about the kinase and their substrates. ...
In recent years, members of the protein kinase family have been discovered at an accelerated pace. Most were first described, not through the traditional biochemical approach of protein purification and enzyme assay, but as putative protein kinase amino acid sequences deduced from the nucleotide sequences of molecularly cloned genes or complementary DNAs. Phylogenetic mapping of the conserved protein kinase catalytic domains can serve as a useful first step in the functional characterization of these newly identified family members. ...
Antibodies raised against the protein encoded by a lacZ-CDC28 in-frame fusion were shown to immunoprecipitate the CDC28 product from yeast cell lysates. The polypeptide p36CDC28 is a phosphoprotein of apparent Mr 36,000. Immune complexes prepared from yeast cell lysates by using anti-CDC28 antibody were found to possess a protein kinase activity, as determined by the transfer of label from [gamma-32P]ATP to a coprecipitated Mr 40,000 protein of unknown identity or function (p40). This activity was absent or thermolabile when extracts were prepared from several different cdc28 temperature-sensitive strains. The protein kinase activity was dependent on Zn2+ and transferred phosphate specifically to serine and threonine residues.

TY - JOUR. T1 - ERK3 is a constitutively nuclear protein kinase. AU - Cheng, Mangeng. AU - Boulton, Teri G.. AU - Cobb, Melanie H.. PY - 1996/4/12. Y1 - 1996/4/12. N2 - The ERK3 cDNA predicts a protein of 62,000 in size with a C-terminal domain that extends 180 amino acids beyond the conserved core of ERK family protein kinases. Immunoblotting with antibodies raised to recombinant protein and to peptides from the catalytic core and three regions of the C-terminal tail revealed that ERK3 is the expected size and is ubiquitously expressed in a variety of cell lines and tissues. ERK3, unlike the MAP kinases ERK1 and ERK2, is localized in the nucleus in exponentially growing, quiescent, and growth factor-stimulated cells. If the 180 amino acids at its C terminus are deleted, the resulting ERK3 fragment of 45 kDa is still found primarily in the nucleus, indicating that the C terminus is not required for its localization. Recombinant ERK3 expressed in mammalian cells or in bacteria is a protein ...
Neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimers, Parkinsons and Huntingtons disease) are characterised by the irreversible loss of nerve cell function. Protein kinases such as JNK and LRRK2 are major players in neurodegenerative disorders, however their mechanism of action is largely unknown. Even though our understanding of the physiological functions of these molecules is in its infancy. drug targeting strategies are already underway. Our lab uses a proteomics screen developed in the lab to identify protein kinase substrates. The identification of novel targets combined with biochemical, genetic and imaging approaches has revealed unexpected functions for kinases in neocortical development and provided mechanistic insight in neuronal disease ...

Histidine protein kinases (HPKs) are a large family of signal-transduction enzymes that autophosphorylate on a conserved histidine residue. HPKs form two-component signaling systems together with their downstream target proteins, the response regulators, which have a conserved aspartate in a so-called receiver domain that is phosphorylated by the HPK. Two-component signal transduction is prevalent in bacteria and is also widely used by eukaryotes outside the animal kingdom. The typical HPK is a transmembrane receptor with an amino-terminal extracellular sensing domain and a carboxy-terminal cytosolic signaling domain; most, if not all, HPKs function as dimers. They show little similarity to protein kinases that phosphorylate serine, threonine or tyrosine residues, but may share a distant evolutionary relationship with these enzymes. In excess of a thousand known genes encode HPKs, which are important for multiple functions in bacteria, including chemotaxis and quorum sensing, and in eukaryotes,
In the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevesiae, phosphorelay signaling systems that involve a three-step His-Asp-His-Asp phosphotransfer are involved in transmitting signals in response to cellular stress. The animation shows one example of such a phosphorelay system involved in yeast responses to changes in osmolarity. Under conditions of low osmolarity, a histidine-aspartate phosphorelay pathway transmits information that deactivates one signaling pathway and activates gene expression through another pathway. In response to high osmolarity, the Sln1 kinase that initiates the phosphorelay is inhibited and the Hog1 mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade is active. ...

Complement factor C3, recently found to contain covalently bound phosphate, was phosphorylated in vitro by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) and Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). Both protein kinases phosphorylated the same serine residue(s) located in the C3a portion of the alpha-chain. In addition, protein kinase C phosphorylated the beta-chain to a lesser extent. Protein kinase A gave a maximal incorporation of 1 mol of phosphate/mol of C3 while that value with protein kinase C was 1.5 mol of phosphate/mol of C3. The velocity in pmol of [32P]phosphate/(min x unit kinase) was 20 times higher for protein kinase C than for protein kinase A although a 10 times lower ratio of protein kinase to C3 was used in the former case. The apparent Kmfor C3 was 2.6 µM when protein kinase C was used. The phosphorylated C3 was found to be more resistant to partial degradation by trypsin than unphosphorylated C3. It was also found that ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase by cyclic GMP - Dependent protein kinase. AU - Roskoski, R.. AU - Vulliet, Philip R. AU - Glass, D. B.. PY - 1987. Y1 - 1987. N2 - Tyrosine hydroxylase purified from rat pheochromycytoma was phosphorylated and activated by purified cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase as well as by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit. The extent of activation was correlated with the degree of phosphate incorporated into the enzyme. Comparable stoichiometric ratios (0.6 mol phosphate/mol tyrosine hydroxylase subunit) were obtained at maximal concentrations of either cyclic AMP-dependent or cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases. The enzymes appeared to mediate the phosphorylation of the same residue based on the observation that incorporation was not increased when both enzymes were present. The major tryptic phosphopeptide obtained from tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylated by each protein kinase exhibited an identical retention time following ...

A 36 kDa protein (P36) on the membrane was rapidly phosphorylated in vitro by the kinase and the phosphorylated amino acid was identified as phosphohistidine. Histidine phosphorylation of P36 was activated in vitro by recombinant Ras protein and GTP; both decreased Michaelis constant (Km) for ATP from 1.25 to 0.25 μM. The novel histidine kinase, products of which have been overlooked due to their acid lability, may participate in cellular signaling and peroxisome proliferators may perturb the pathway..

The induction of ornithine decarboxylase was studied following the stimulation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes with concanavalin A (ConA) (10 µg/ml). Following treatment with ConA, ornithine decarboxylase activity increased 4-5-fold between 6 and 12 hr of incubation and reached a peak level 10-12-fold above control (unstimulated) values by 48 hr. Increases in incorporation of [3H]uridine into acid-insoluble material followed a similar time course after the addition of ConA to lymphocytes. The rate of incorporation of [3H]thymidine into acid-insoluble material was maximal at 72 hr. The degree of activation of soluble cyclic 3,5-AMP-dependent protein kinase(s) was determined at various times following ConA stimulation. Between 1 and 2 hr after mitogen administration, the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity ratio increased markedly and was 0.23 unit above control values by 4 hr. The activity ratio decreased between 4 and 8 hr and returned to higher values after incubation with the ...
Trans-activation of the DNA-damage signalling protein kinase Chk2 by T-loop exchange The protein kinase Chk2 (checkpoint kinase 2) is a major effector of the replication checkpoint. Chk2 activation is initiated by phosphorylation of Thr68, in the serine glutamine/threonine-glutamine cluster domain (SCD), by ATM. The phosphorylated SCD-segment binds to the FHA domain of a second Chk2 molecule, promoting dimerisation of the protein and triggering phosphorylation of the activation segment/T-loop in the kinase domain. We have now determined the structure of the kinase domain of human Chk2 in complexes with ADP and a small-molecule inhibitor debromohymenialdisine. The structure reveals a remarkable dimeric arrangement in which T-loops are exchanged between protomers, to form an active kinase conformation in trans. Biochemical data suggest that this dimer is the biologically active state promoted by ATM-phosphorylation, and also suggests a mechanism for dimerisation-driven activation of Chk2 by ...

A comparative analysis on protein kinases encoded in the completely sequenced genomes of two plant species, namely Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa spp japonica cv. Nipponbare is reported in the current study. We have analysed 836 and 1386 kinases identified from A. thaliana and the $O$. sativa genomes respectively. Their classification into known subfamilies reveals selective expansions of the plant receptor kinase subfamily comprising of Ser/Thr receptor kinases. The presence of calciumdependent kinases, and potential absence of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinase of the type found in other (non-plant) eukaryotes, are other notable features of the two plant kinomes described here. An analysis on domain organisation of each of the protein kinases encoded in the plant genome has been carried out. Uncommon composition of functional domains like nuclear translocation factor domain, redox sensor domain (PAS), ACT and lectin domains are observed in few protein kinases shared between the ...
The activity of calcium-, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKc) was measured in (a) total extracts, (b) crude membrane, and (c) cytosolic fractions of chick embryo myogenic cells differentiating in culture. Total PKc activity slowly declines during the course of terminal myogenesis in contrast to the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which was also measured in the same cells. Myogenic cells at day 1 of culture possess high particulate and low soluble PKc activity. A dramatic decline of particulate PKc activity occurs during myogenic cell differentiation and is accompanied, through day 4, by a striking rise of the soluble activity. The difference in the subcellular distribution of PKc between replicating myoblasts and myotubes is confirmed by phosphorylation studies conducted in intact cells. These studies demonstrate that four polypeptides whose phosphorylation is stimulated by the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate in myotubes, are spontaneously phosphorylated ...

In vitro phosphorylation of the regulatory subunit of yeast cAMP-dependent protein kinase was studied. The cAMP-binding regulatory subunit (R subunit) can be multiply phosphorylated. Three distinct phosphorylation sites were inferred from the different ATP concentrations required for phosphorylation and from the presence of two discrete mobility shifts in NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the R subunit on phosphorylation. Limited tryptic digestion of the phosphorylated R subunit showed that a Mr 37,000 cAMP-binding peptide contained one of the phosphorylation sites and that a separate Mr 12,000 peptide contained another phosphorylation site. The yeast R subunit is therefore similar to the type II R subunit of mammalian origin, although it has a larger Mr (64,000 vs. 58,000) and is multiply phosphorylated. In vivo, both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of the R subunit were found in cells grown in lactate or to stationary phase in 1.5% glucose, while cells grown in 5% ...
The focus of this symposium was to present new information on the morphogenesis of Candida albicans, particularly how it relates to signal transduction pathways and other genes involved in the regulation of morphogenesis. In addition, we discuss the role of adherence and colonization of the oral cavity by the organism and discuss the role of mannan as an adhesin that recognizes the human red blood cell. C. albicans utilizes at least two signal pathways to regulate its conversion from a yeast form to filamentous growth (hyphae). One of these two pathways is similar to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae pseudohyphal/mating pathway, which utilizes the regulatory protein, Cphlp. The other pathway is not totally defined but requires a second regulatory protein, referred to as Efg1p. Other signal pathways may exist, which include a two-component histidine kinase and response regulator proteins. The latter pathway(s) may include proteins such as Chk1p, Ssk1p, Shi1p and Cos1p/Nik1p. Mutations in strains, which

Regulatory subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), an effector of the Ras/cAMP pathway. Inhibits PKA activity in the absence of cAMP. cAMP activates PKA and promotes growth and proliferation in response to good nutrient conditions. Together with ZDS1, provides a negative feedback control on the cell wall integrity-signaling pathway by acting as a negative regulator of MAP kinase SLT2/MPK1.
Mediates cAMP-dependent signaling triggered by receptor binding to GPCRs. PKA activation regulates diverse cellular processes such as cell proliferation, the cell cycle, differentiation and regulation of microtubule dynamics, chromatin condensation and decondensation, nuclear envelope disassembly and reassembly, as well as regulation of intracellular transport mechanisms and ion flux. Regulates the abundance of compartmentalized pools of its regulatory subunits through phosphorylation of PJA2 which binds and ubiquitinates these subunits, leading to their subsequent proteolysis ...

Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk) direct cell cycle transitions by associating with various cyclins throughout the cell cycle. For cells to exit mitosis, mitotic Cdk activity must be turned off. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the mitotic exit network, or MEN, comprises of a group of proteins that form a signaling pathway required for mitotic exit. The MEN regulates the activity of Cdc14, the protein phosphatase critical for inactivating mitotic Cdk. Components of the MEN include the protein kinases Cdc15 and Dbf2, as well as the Dbf2-associated protein Mob1. We determined how these proteins are organized within the MEN by determining the molecular mechanism of Dbf2 activation. Dbf2 requires Mob1 association in order to be active and Cdc15 phosphorylates and thereby activates the Dbf2-Mob1 protein kinase complex. We also determined that the conserved phosphorylation sites of the NDR protein kinase family are required for Dbf2 kinase activity in vitro as well as for DBF2 function in vivo. It is unknown ...
Two-component systems consisting of histidine kinases and their corresponding receivers are widespread in bacterial signal transduction. In the past few years, genes coding for homologues of two-component systems were also discovered in eukaryotic organisms. DokA, a homologue of bacterial histidine kinases, is an element of the osmoregulatory pathway in the amoeba Dictyostelium. The work described here addresses the question whether DokA is phosphorylated in vivo in response to osmotic stress. We have endogenously overexpressed individual domains of DokA to investigate post-translational modification of the protein in response to osmotic shock in vivo. Dictyostelium cells were labeled with [32P]-orthophosphate, exposed to osmotic stress and DokA fragments were subsequently isolated by immunoprecipitation. Thus, a stress-dependent phosphorylation could be demonstrated, with the site of phosphorylation being located in the kinase domain. We demonstrate biochemically that the phosphorylated amino acid is

The mating response of the haploid yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a genetically tractable model system to study a G‐protein regulated mitogen‐activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade. This response is initiated by the pheromones a and α‐factor released from MATa and MATα cells, respectively. These short polypeptides bind to cell type‐specific receptors and thereby trigger the activation of a heterotrimeric G‐protein that is common to both cell types (for a review, see Herskowitz, 1995). The β and γ subunits of the G‐protein then activate a MAP kinase cascade consisting of Ste7p (a MAP kinase kinase or MEK homolog), Ste11p (a MEK kinase homolog) and the partially redundant MAP kinase homologs Fus3p and Kss1p (Herskowitz, 1995). The Ste20p protein kinase (a MEK kinase kinase) (Leberer et al., 1992a; Wu et al., 1995), Ste5p (Leberer et al., 1993; Whiteway et al., 1995) and Ste50p (Ramezani Rad et al., 1992) play crucial roles in the activation of this MAP kinase cascade which ...

These results indicate that the mechanism by which the US3 protein kinase blocks activation of the BAD protein does not depend on the phosphorylation of the regulatory serines or the interaction of BAD with the 14-3-3 proteins.. In an earlier article this laboratory reported that the US3 protein kinase blocked the apoptosis induced by the HSV-1 d120 mutant at a premitochondrial stage (21). Further studies revealed that the kinase also blocks programmed cell death induced by the proapoptotic protein BAD (22). In the studies reported here, we investigated the effects of the US3 protein kinase on the function and state of the BAD protein. We report several key findings below.. (i) In uninfected cells BAD was processed by at least two proteolytic cleavages that are blocked by caspase inhibitors. The untreated transduced cells expressed elevated caspase 3 activity.. (ii) In cells cotransduced with the US3 protein kinase, the BAD protein was not cleaved and the caspase 3 activity was not ...

The osmotic balance between the cytoplasmic and extracellular compartments of cells is critical for the control of cell volume. A mammalian protein kinase, Jnk, which is a distant relative of the mitogen-activated protein kinase group, was activated by phosphorylation on threonine and tyrosine in osmotically shocked cells. The activation of Jnk may be relevant to the biological response to osmotic shock because the expression of human Jnk in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae rescued a defect in growth on hyper-osmolar media. These data indicate that related protein kinases may mediate osmosensing signal transduction in yeast and mammalian cells. ...

This chapter focuses on other modalities of signal transduction, including intracellular second messengers, feedback regulation, and posttranslational modifications such as the phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of proteins. Empirical studies of archaeal-archaeal and archaeal-bacterial communication have been few in number and preliminary in nature. Inspection of archaeal genomes has revealed them to be devoid of homologs of the prototypic bacterial quorum-sensing proteins LuxS and LuxR. Two-component systems differ in several fundamental respects from protein-serine/threonine/tyrosine phosphorylation cascades. First, autophosohorylation is the predominant mechanism of phosphorylation in the two-component system, whereas protein-serine/threonine/tyrosine phosphorylation cascades rely primarily on phosphotransfer reactions catalyzed by protein kinases that are distinct from the phosphoacceptor protein. Second, the chemical nature of the phosphoryl moieties formed during two-component signaling differs
The acronym CK2 (derived from the misnomer casein kinase 2) denotes one of the most pleiotropic members of the eukaryotic protein kinase superfamily, characterized by an acidic consensus sequence in which a carboxylic acid (or pre-phosphorylated) side chain at position n+3 relative to the target serine/threonine residue plays a crucial role. The latest repertoire of CK2 substrates includes approx. 300 proteins, but the analysis of available phosphopeptide databases from different sources suggests that CK2 alone may be responsible for the generation of a much larger proportion (10-20%) of the eukaryotic phosphoproteome. Although for the time being CK2 is not included among protein kinases whose inhibitors are in clinical practice or in advanced clinical trials, evidence is accumulating that elevated CK2 constitutive activity co-operates to induce a number of pathological conditions, including cancer, infectious diseases, neurodegeneration and cardiovascular pathologies. The development and ...

Figure 1 Insulin-stimulated mTOR protein kinase activity. 3T3-L1 adipocytes were incubated without insulin or with 10 milliunits/ml insulin for 30 min. Extracts were prepared and immunoprecipitations were performed with either nonimmune IgG (NI-IgG) or mTAb2. Beads were suspended in reaction mix containing [γ-32P]ATP and His6-PHAS-I, and then incubated for 30 min. After the reactions had been terminated, samples were subjected to SDS/PAGE and autoradiograms of the dried gels were prepared.

In the presence of DNA damage, the protein kinase Chk1 can effect cell cycle arrest. Chen et al. determined the crystal structure of the Chk1 kinase domain (Chk1KD), and have uncovered some of its regulatory mechanisms. In the presence or absence of the nonhydrolyzable analog AMP-PNP, no conformational change was observed in the Chk1KD ATP binding site, catalytic residues, or activation loop. Therefore, the conformation of Chk1KD approximates its activated ATP-bound state, and Chk1 does not appear to require activation loop phosphorylation before activity. The authors determined that the regulation of Chk1 may be controlled by its COOH-terminal region; the kinase activity of Chk1KD was 20 times that of full-length Chk1, and autophosphorylation of full-length Chk1 did not inherently affect its kinase activity. The authors speculate on the role of the COOH-terminus in autoinhibition. The crystal structure of the linker region between the kinase domain and the COOH-terminal region indicates that, ...
The gene IKKE produces a protein kinase also known as IKKE. Protein kinases are enzymes that turn other proteins on or off. The IKKE protein kinase appears to target proteins which, in turn, control genes that regulate the mouse metabolism.. When the high-fat diet is fed to a normal mouse, IKKE protein-kinase levels rise, the metabolic rate slows, and the animal gains weight. In that situation, the IKKE protein kinase acts as a brake on the metabolism. Knockout mice placed on the high-fat diet did not gain weight, apparently because deleting the IKKE gene releases the metabolic brake, allowing it to speed up and burn more calories, instead of storing those calories as fat.. The knockout mice are not exercising any more than the control mice used in the study. Theyre just burning more energy, Saltiel said. And in the process, theyre generating a little heat, as well - their body temperature actually increases a bit.. Saltiels team is now searching for small molecules that block IKKE ...
