Synthesis of 3,5-difluorotyrosine-containing peptides: application in substrate profiling of protein tyrosine phosphatases.

ABSTRACT: Fully protected 3,5-difluorotyrosine (F2Y), Fmoc-F2Y(tBu)-OH, is efficiently prepared by a chemoenzymatic process and incorporated into individual peptides and combinatorial peptide libraries. The F2Y-containing peptides display kinetic properties toward protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) similar to their corresponding tyrosine-containing counterparts but are resistant to tyrosinase action. These properties make F2Y a useful tyrosine surrogate during peptide library screening for optimal PTP substrates.

A phosphotyrosine-containing quenched fluorogenic peptide as a novel substrate for protein tyrosine phosphatases.

Project description:Mca-Gly-Asp-Ala-Glu-Tyr(PO(3)H(2))-Ala- Ala-Lys(DNP)-Arg-NH(2), where Mca is (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl and DNP is 2,4-dinitrophenyl, was synthesized as a fluorogenic substrate for protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). In the peptide, the fluorescent Mca group is quenched efficiently by the DNP group. Although the fluorescence intensity of the substrate was practically unchanged upon PTP-catalysed dephosphorylation, it increased approx. 120-fold upon subsequent treatment with chymotrypsin. Analysis by HPLC showed that chymotrypsin cleaved only the dephosphorylated substrate at the Tyr-Ala bond. Thus with the aid of chymotrypsin, dephosphorylation of the substrate can be measured fluorometrically. A strictly linear correlation was observed between PTP concentration and dephosphorylation rate. The fluorogenic substrate was dephosphorylated by some PTPs much more rapidly than the corresponding (32)P-labelled substrate used for comparison, whereas alkaline phosphatase dephosphorylated the two substrates at similar rates. The fluorogenic substrate is therefore more specific for PTPs than the radiolabelled substrate. The assay with the fluorogenic substrate could be applied to the estimation of kinetc parameters and measurement of PTP activity in crude-enzyme preparations. The lower detection limit of our assay (1 microM substrate in 200 microliter of reaction mixture) was estimated to be 0.2-0.4 pmol, whereas it was estimated to be about 1 pmol in the assay that used (32)P-labelled peptide (specific radioactivity of approx. 1000 c.p.m. /pmol). Our assay is simple, specific, highly sensitive and non-radioisotopic, and hence would contribute greatly to the development of PTP biology.

Specificity profiling of protein phosphatases toward phosphoseryl and phosphothreonyl peptides.

Project description:A combinatorial library method was developed to systematically profile the substrate specificity of protein phosphatases toward phosphoseryl (pS) and phosphothreonyl (pT) peptides. Application of this method and a previously reported phosphotyrosyl (pY) library screening technique to dual-specificity phosphatase (DUSP) VH1 of vaccinia virus revealed that VH1 is highly active toward both pS/pT and pY peptides. VH1 exhibits different and more stringent sequence specificity toward pS/pT than pY substrates. Unlike previously characterized protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), the activity and specificity of VH1 are primarily determined by the amino acid residues C-terminal to the pS, pT, or pY residue. In contrast, the mammalian VH1-related (VHR) DUSP has intrinsically low catalytic activity toward pS and pT substrates, suggesting that its primary physiological function is to dephosphorylate pY residues in substrate proteins. This method is applicable to other DUSPs and protein-serine/threonine phosphatases, and the substrate specificity data will be useful for identifying the physiological substrates of these enzymes.

Covalent inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatases.

Project description:Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are a large family of 107 signaling enzymes that catalyze the hydrolytic removal of phosphate groups from tyrosine residues in a target protein. The phosphorylation status of tyrosine residues on proteins serve as a ubiquitous mechanism for cellular signal transduction. Aberrant function of PTPs can lead to many human diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. As the number of disease relevant PTPs increases, there is urgency in developing highly potent inhibitors that are selective towards specific PTPs. Most current efforts have been devoted to the development of active site-directed and reversible inhibitors for PTPs. This review summarizes recent progress made in the field of covalent inhibitors to target PTPs. Here, we discuss the in vivo and in vitro inactivation of various PTPs by small molecule-containing electrophiles, such as Michael acceptors, α-halo ketones, epoxides, and isothiocyanates, etc. as well as oxidizing agents. We also suggest potential strategies to transform these electrophiles into isozyme selective covalent PTP inhibitors.

Structural Insights into the Active Site Formation of DUSP22 in N-loop-containing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases.

Project description:Cysteine-based protein tyrosine phosphatases (Cys-based PTPs) perform dephosphorylation to regulate signaling pathways in cellular responses. The hydrogen bonding network in their active site plays an important conformational role and supports the phosphatase activity. Nearly half of dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) use three conserved residues, including aspartate in the D-loop, serine in the P-loop, and asparagine in the N-loop, to form the hydrogen bonding network, the D-, P-, N-triloop interaction (DPN-triloop interaction). In this study, DUSP22 is used to investigate the importance of the DPN-triloop interaction in active site formation. Alanine mutations and somatic mutations of the conserved residues, D57, S93, and N128 substantially decrease catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM) by more than 102-fold. Structural studies by NMR and crystallography reveal that each residue can perturb the three loops and induce conformational changes, indicating that the hydrogen bonding network aligns the residues in the correct positions for substrate interaction and catalysis. Studying the DPN-triloop interaction reveals the mechanism maintaining phosphatase activity in N-loop-containing PTPs and provides a foundation for further investigation of active site formation in different members of this protein class.

[Difluro(phosphono)methyl]phenylalanine-containing peptide inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatases.

Project description:Peptides containing the non-hydrolysable phosphotyrosine analogue 4-[difluro(phosphono)methyl]phenylalanine [Phe(CF2P)] were synthesized and tested as inhibitors of the protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) PTP1B, CD45, PTPbeta, LAR and SHP-1. We have identified peptides containing two adjacent Phe(CF2P) residues as potent inhibitors of PTPs. The tripeptide having the sequence Glu-Phe(CF2P)-Phe(CF2P) is a potent and selective inhibitor of PTP1B. This peptide inhibits PTP1B with an IC50 of 40 nM, which is at least 100-fold lower than with other PTPs. A second tripeptide, Pro-Phe(CF2P)-Phe(CF2P), is most potent against PTPbeta, with an IC50 of 200 nM, and inhibits PTP1B with an IC50 of 300 nM. These data suggest that it is possible to develop selective, active-site-directed, reversible, potent inhibitors of PTPs.

Activity-based probes for protein tyrosine phosphatases.

Project description:Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are involved in the regulation of many aspects of cellular activity including proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, migration, and survival. Given the large number and complexity of PTPs in cell signaling, new strategies are needed for the integrated analysis of PTPs in the whole proteome. Unfortunately, the activities of many PTPs are tightly regulated by posttranslational mechanisms, limiting the utility of standard genomics and proteomics methods for functional characterization of these enzymes. To facilitate the global analysis of PTPs, we designed and synthesized two activity-based probes that consist of alpha-bromobenzylphosphonate as a PTP-specific trapping device and a linker that connects the trapping device with a biotin tag for visualization and purification. We showed that these probes are active site-directed irreversible inactivators of PTPs and form a covalent adduct with PTPs involving the active site Cys residue. Additionally, we demonstrated that the probes are extremely specific toward PTPs while remaining inert to other proteins, including the whole proteome from Escherichia coli. Consequently, these activity-based PTP probes can be used to profile PTP activity in complex proteomes. The ability to interrogate the entire PTP family on the basis of changes in their activity should greatly accelerate both the assignment of PTP function and the identification of potential therapeutic targets.

Both Intrinsic Substrate Preference and Network Context Contribute to Substrate Selection of Classical Tyrosine Phosphatases.

Project description:Reversible tyrosine phosphorylation is a widespread post-translational modification mechanism underlying cell physiology. Thus, understanding the mechanisms responsible for substrate selection by kinases and phosphatases is central to our ability to model signal transduction at a system level. Classical protein-tyrosine phosphatases can exhibit substrate specificity in vivo by combining intrinsic enzymatic specificity with the network of protein-protein interactions, which positions the enzymes in close proximity to their substrates. Here we use a high throughput approach, based on high density phosphopeptide chips, to determine the in vitro substrate preference of 16 members of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. This approach helped identify one residue in the substrate binding pocket of the phosphatase domain that confers specificity for phosphopeptides in a specific sequence context. We also present a Bayesian model that combines intrinsic enzymatic specificity and interaction information in the context of the human protein interaction network to infer new phosphatase substrates at the proteome level.

Panoramic view of a superfamily of phosphatases through substrate profiling.

Project description:Large-scale activity profiling of enzyme superfamilies provides information about cellular functions as well as the intrinsic binding capabilities of conserved folds. Herein, the functional space of the ubiquitous haloalkanoate dehalogenase superfamily (HADSF) was revealed by screening a customized substrate library against >200 enzymes from representative prokaryotic species, enabling inferred annotation of ∼35% of the HADSF. An extremely high level of substrate ambiguity was revealed, with the majority of HADSF enzymes using more than five substrates. Substrate profiling allowed assignment of function to previously unannotated enzymes with known structure, uncovered potential new pathways, and identified iso-functional orthologs from evolutionarily distant taxonomic groups. Intriguingly, the HADSF subfamily having the least structural elaboration of the Rossmann fold catalytic domain was the most specific, consistent with the concept that domain insertions drive the evolution of new functions and that the broad specificity observed in HADSF may be a relic of this process.

Voltage sensitive phosphatases: emerging kinship to protein tyrosine phosphatases from structure-function research.

Project description:The transmembrane protein Ci-VSP from the ascidian Ciona intestinalis was described as first member of a fascinating family of enzymes, the voltage sensitive phosphatases (VSPs). Ci-VSP and its voltage-activated homologs from other species are stimulated by positive membrane potentials and dephosphorylate the head groups of negatively charged phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs). In doing so, VSPs act as control centers at the cytosolic membrane surface, because they intervene in signaling cascades that are mediated by PIP lipids. The characteristic motif CX5RT/S in the active site classifies VSPs as members of the huge family of cysteine-based protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Although PTPs have already been well-characterized regarding both, structure and function, their relationship to VSPs has drawn only limited attention so far. Therefore, the intention of this review is to give a short overview about the extensive knowledge about PTPs in relation to the facts known about VSPs. Here, we concentrate on the structural features of the catalytic domain which are similar between both classes of phosphatases and their consequences for the enzymatic function. By discussing results obtained from crystal structures, molecular dynamics simulations, and mutagenesis studies, a possible mechanism for the catalytic cycle of VSPs is presented based on that one proposed for PTPs. In this way, we want to link the knowledge about the catalytic activity of VSPs and PTPs.

Molecular Pathways: Targeting Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases in Cancer.

Project description:The aberrant activation of oncogenic signaling pathways is a universal phenomenon in cancer and drives tumorigenesis and malignant transformation. This abnormal activation of signaling pathways in cancer is due to the altered expression of protein kinases and phosphatases. In response to extracellular signals, protein kinases activate downstream signaling pathways through a series of protein phosphorylation events, ultimately producing a signal response. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) are a family of enzymes that hydrolytically remove phosphate groups from proteins. Initially, PTPs were shown to act as tumor suppressor genes by terminating signal responses through the dephosphorylation of oncogenic kinases. More recently, it has become clear that several PTPs overexpressed in human cancers do not suppress tumor growth; instead, they positively regulate signaling pathways and promote tumor development and progression. In this review, we discuss both types of PTPs: those that have tumor suppressor activities as well as those that act as oncogenes. We also discuss the potential of PTP inhibitors for cancer therapy.
