Purification and characterization of casein kinase I from broccoli.

ABSTRACT: Casein kinase I from broccoli was purified approximately 65,000-fold by chromatography on phosphocellulose, phenyl-Sepharose, CM-Sephacel, and affinity chromatography on N-(2-aminoethyl)-5-chloroisoquinolone-8-sulphonamide (CKI-7)-Sepharose. The catalytic subunit of casein kinase I was identified as a 36-38 kDa polypeptide doublet by using the technique of activity gel assay after SDS/PAGE with casein as a gel-incorporated substrate. A silver-stained polypeptide doublet of the same molecular mass constituted at least 95% of the protein in the final preparation, corresponding to a specific activity of approximately 1800 nmol/min per mg of protein. The enzyme was found to be a monomer by gel filtration and glycerol gradient sedimentation; the native molecular mass was calculated to be 34.2 kDa. These characteristics, as well as other essential features of plant casein kinase I activity, such as substrate specificity and sensitivity to inhibitors, were found to be similar to those established for animal casein kinase I. Broccoli casein kinase I showed weak immunological cross-reactivity with antibodies raised against bovine casein kinase I.

Purification and characterization of echinoderm casein kinase II. Regulation by protein kinase C.

Project description:Casein kinase II (CKII) is one of several protein kinases that become activated before germinal-vesicle breakdown in maturing sea-star oocytes. Echinoderm CKII was purified over 11,000-fold with a recovery of approximately 10% by sequential fractionation of the oocyte cytosol on tyrosine-agarose, heparin-agarose, casein-agarose and MonoQ. The purified enzyme contained 45, 38 and 28 kDa polypeptides, which corresponded to its alpha, alpha' and beta subunits respectively. The beta-subunit was autophosphorylated on one major tryptic peptide on serine residues, whereas the alpha'-subunit incorporated phosphate into at least two tryptic peptides primarily on threonine residues. Western-blotting analysis of sea-star oocyte extracts with two different anti-peptide antibodies that recognized conserved regions of the alpha-subunit indicated that the protein levels of the alpha- and alpha'-subunits of CKII were unchanged during oocyte maturation. The purified CKII was partly inactivated (by 25%) by preincubation with protein-serine/threonine phosphatase 2A, but protein-tyrosine phosphatases had no effect. The beta-subunit of CKII was phosphorylated on a serine residue(s) up to 0.54 mol of P/mol of beta-subunit by purified protein kinase C, and this correlated with a 1.5-fold enhancement of its phosphotransferase activity with phosvitin as a substrate. CKII was not a substrate for the maturation-activated myelin basic protein kinase p44mpk from sea-star oocytes, nor for cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. These studies point to possible regulation of CKII by protein phosphorylation.

Purification of casein kinase I and isolation of cDNAs encoding multiple casein kinase I-like enzymes.

Project description:We have purified casein kinase I (CKI) over 6000-fold from bovine thymus and have sequenced seven tryptic peptides that account for nearly 25% of the primary sequence of the enzyme. By using PCR, partial cDNAs encoding CKI and a related enzyme (CKI-delta) were isolated. A product that may correspond to an alternatively spliced form of CKI was also detected. The CKI PCR product was used to probe a bovine brain cDNA library from which cDNAs corresponding to CKI (CKI-alpha) and two homologous enzymes (CKI-beta and CKI-gamma) were identified. The finding that there are at least four CKI-like enzymes suggests that CKI activity in tissues or cell extracts may be composed of multiple related but distinct protein kinases. This group of enzymes is not similar to any other known protein kinases and may, therefore, represent an additional branch of the protein kinase family.

Purification of Golgi casein kinase from bovine milk.

Project description:Caseins and many other secretory proteins are phosphorylated during their transport through the secretory pathway by a protein kinase present within Golgi compartments. Molecular analysis of the Golgi casein kinase (GCK) has not been possible since it has not been purified to homogeneity or been cloned. Previous attempts have been made to purify GCK activity from mammary gland Golgi fractions, but these have not resulted in extensive purification of the enzyme. In the present study, we have demonstrated that substantial amounts of GCK activity, assayed using a specific peptide substrate, can be detected as a soluble form in bovine milk, and we have used milk as a source for purification. A purification protocol was established that allowed>80000-fold purification to a specific activity of GCK (approx. 700 nmoles/min per mg of protein) far higher than previously achieved. These findings cast doubts on previous claims for purification of GCK activity. In addition, ion-exchange chromatography resolved two closely eluting peaks of activity, suggesting the existence of two related, but distinct, GCK activities.

Expression, Purification, and Characterization of Human Diacylglycerol Kinase ζ.

Project description:Diacylglycerol kinase ζ (DGKζ) phosphorylates diacylglycerol (DG) to generate phosphatidic acid. The dysfunction of DGKζ has been linked to several diseases, such as cardiac hypertrophy, ischemia, and seizures. Moreover, much attention has been paid to DGKζ, together with DGKα, as a potential target for cancer immunotherapy. However, DGKζ has never been purified and, thus, neither its enzymatic properties nor its structure has yet been reported, hindering our understanding of the catalytic mechanism of DGKζ and the development of a reasonable structure-based drug design. In the present study, we generated a full-length DGKζ using a baculovirus-insect cell expression system for enzymological and structural studies. Full-length DGKζ remained soluble and was purified to near homogeneity as a monomer with yields suitable for protein crystallization (0.63 mg/1 L culture). Enzymatic characterization showed that the purified DGKζ is in a fully functional state. The K m values for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and DG were 0.05 mM and 1.5 mol %, respectively, and the EC50 for the activator phosphatidylserine was 8.6 mol %, indicating that its affinity for ATP is moderately higher than those of DGKα and DGKε, and its affinities for DG and phosphatidylserine are comparable to those of DGKα/DGKε. We further confirmed that the purified enzyme could be concentrated without any significant aggregation. Circular dichroism revealed that DGKζ is comprised of 25% α-helices and 18% β-strands. This is the first successful purification and characterization of the enzymatic and conformational properties of DGKζ. The purification of DGKζ allows detailed analyses of this important enzyme and will advance our understanding of DGKζ-related diseases and therapies.

Purification and properties of a ribosomal casein kinase from rabbit reticulocytes.

Project description:A casein kinase was isolated and purifed from rabbit reticulocytes. About 90% of the enzyme activity co-sedimented with the ribosomal fraction, whereas about 10% of the enzyme activity was found in the ribosome-free supernatant. Both casein kinases (the ribosome-bound enzyme as well as the free enzyme) showed identical activity and the same molecular weight. On sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis a single band of about 70 000 mol.wt. was observed. Sucrose-gradient analysis, however, showed that the enzyme activity sedimented with a s20,w of approx. 7.5S. This observation suggested that the casein kinase is a dimer composed of subunits of identical molecular weight. The enzyme utilizes GTP as well as ATP as a phosphoryl donor. It preferentially phosphorylates acidic proteins, in particular the model substrates casein and phosvitin. Casein kinase is cyclic AMP-indepenoent. The Km values for ATP and GTP with phosvitin as a substrate were determined as 1.2 and 8.8 micrometer respectively.

Isolation and characterization of casein kinase I from Dictyostelium discoideum.

Project description:In the present study, the molecular cloning and characterization of a 49-kDa form of casein kinase (CK)I from Dictyostelium discoideum is reported. The predicted amino acid sequence shares 70% identity with the catalytic domain of the mammalian delta and epsilon isoforms, Drosophila CKIepsilon and Schizosaccharomyces pombe Hhp1, and 63% identity with Hrr25, a 57-kDa form of yeast CK involved in DNA repair. D. discoideum CKI (DdCKI) was expressed in vegetative asynchronous cells as well as in differentiated cells, as detected by Northern-blot analysis. The level of DdCKI expression did not change during the cell cycle. Antibodies raised against a truncated version of the protein recognized a 49-kDa protein from D. discoideum extracts. Protein expression paralleled the pattern found for the RNA. The expression of DdCKI in Escherichia coli resulted in an active enzyme that autophosphorylated and phosphorylated casein. Immunofluorescence assays showed that DdCKI was localized in the cytoplasm and nuclei of Dictyostelium cells. The lack of disruptants of the CKI gene suggests that this protein is essential for the vegetative growth of D. discoideum. Overexpression of DdCKI resulted in cells with increased resistance to hydroxyurea, suggesting a potential role for this kinase in DNA repair.

Characterization of casein and casein-silver conjugated nanoparticle containing multifunctional (pectin-sodium alginate/casein) bilayer film.

Project description:Casein nano particles and casein-silver conjugated nano composite containing edible bilayer pouch was developed from a heat sealable casein layer laminated with sodium alginate-pectin layer. The physicochemical, mechanical, biodegradability and the toxicity of the film were evaluated. The synthesized casein nano particle was incorporated in the casein layer (inner layer) of the film, however, the casein-silver conjugated nano composite were incorporated in the sodium alginate-pectin (outer) layer of the film. The mechanical, barrier, physical and antimicrobial properties of the film were investigated. Addition of nano composite/nano particle reduced the water solubility (from 67 to 46 % at 80 °C temperature) of the film improved the water barrier properties, light barrier properties, tensile strength and thermal properties of the film. The light barrier properties of the film increased and transparency reduced with increase in silver content in the conjugated nano composite film. The nano particles/nano composite containing film showed antibacterial activity against E. coli. The films were recorded safe for red blood cells as % haemolysis for all the tested samples were found to be well below the safe level.

Crystal structure of the Golgi casein kinase.

Project description:The family with sequence similarity 20 (Fam20) kinases phosphorylate extracellular substrates and play important roles in biomineralization. Fam20C is the Golgi casein kinase that phosphorylates secretory pathway proteins within Ser-x-Glu/pSer motifs. Mutations in Fam20C cause Raine syndrome, an osteosclerotic bone dysplasia. Here we report the crystal structure of the Fam20C ortholog from Caenorhabditis elegans. The nucleotide-free and Mn/ADP-bound structures unveil an atypical protein kinase-like fold and highlight residues critical for activity. The position of the regulatory ?C helix and the lack of an activation loop indicate an architecture primed for efficient catalysis. Furthermore, several distinct elements, including the presence of disulfide bonds, suggest that the Fam20 family diverged early in the evolution of the protein kinase superfamily. Our results reinforce the structural diversity of protein kinases and have important implications for patients with disorders of biomineralization.

Casein kinase 2 is essential for mitophagy.

Project description:Mitophagy is a process that selectively degrades mitochondria. When mitophagy is induced in yeast, the mitochondrial outer membrane protein Atg32 is phosphorylated, interacts with the adaptor protein Atg11 and is recruited into the vacuole with mitochondria. We screened kinase-deleted yeast strains and found that CK2 is essential for Atg32 phosphorylation, Atg32-Atg11 interaction and mitophagy. Inhibition of CK2 specifically blocks mitophagy, but not macroautophagy, pexophagy or the Cvt pathway. In vitro, CK2 phosphorylates Atg32 at serine 114 and serine 119. We conclude that CK2 regulates mitophagy by directly phosphorylating Atg32.

High-Level Expression, Purification and Initial Characterization of Recombinant Arabidopsis Histidine Kinase AHK1.

Project description:Plants employ a number of phosphorylation cascades in response to a wide range of environmental stimuli. Previous studies in Arabidopsis and yeast indicate that histidine kinase AHK1 is a positive regulator of drought and osmotic stress responses. Based on these studies AHK1 was proposed a plant osmosensor, although the molecular basis of plant osmosensing still remains unknown. To understand the molecular role and signaling mechanism of AHK1 in osmotic stress, we have expressed and purified full-length AHK1 from Arabidopsis in a bacterial host to allow for studies on the isolated transmembrane receptor. Purification of the recombinant protein solubilized from the host membranes was achieved in a single step by metal-affinity chromatography. Analysis of the purified AHK1 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and immunoblotting show a single band indicating that the preparation is highly pure and devoid of contaminants or degradation products. In addition, gel filtration experiments indicate that the preparation is homogenous and monodisperse. Finally, CD-spectroscopy, phosphorylation activity, dimerization studies, and protein-protein interaction with plant phosphorylation targeting AHP2 demonstrate that the purified protein is functionally folded and acts as phospho-His or phospho-Asp phosphatase. Hence, the expression and purification of recombinant AHK1 reported here provide a basis for further detailed functional and structural studies of the receptor, which might help to understand plant osmosensing and osmosignaling on the molecular level.
