A monoclonal antibody to the phosphorylated form of phenylalanine hydroxylase. Definition of the phosphopeptide epitope.

ABSTRACT: Monoclonal antibody PH7 has specificity for the phosphorylated form of the human liver phenylalanine hydroxylase and negligible reactivity towards the dephosphorylated form of the native enzyme by enzyme-linked immunoassay. PH7 binds specifically to the phosphorylated form of the liver enzyme after SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and transfer to nitrocellulose. Competitive blocking assays have been applied in conjunction with reversed-phase h.p.l.c. of purified tryptic fragments of human liver phenylalanine hydroxylase to localize the epitope. The major immunoreactive tryptic peptide cross-reacting with PH7 had an amino acid analysis corresponding to the first 41 amino acids of the human liver phenylalanine hydroxylase sequence and included the serine residue that is thought to be the phosphorylation site. The monoclonal antibody recognized the phosphorylated form of the synthetic decapeptide corresponding to the local phosphorylation-site sequence Gly-Leu-Gly-Arg-Lys-Leu-Ser(P)-Asp-Phe-Gly, but not the dephosphodecapeptide. Thermolysin digestion of the peptide demonstrated the monoclonal antibody bound to the pentapeptide Leu-Ser(P)-Asp-Phe-Gly. Monoclonal antibody PH7 recognized the phosphodecapeptide at concentrations 10(3)-fold higher than with phenylalanine hydroxylase, compared with 10(4)-10(7)-fold higher for other phosphopeptides and phosphoproteins. The results demonstrate that monoclonal antibody PH7 has specificity for the phosphorylated form of phenylalanine hydroxylase at the phosphorylation site.

Isolation of phenylalanine hydroxylase-stimulating monoclonal antibody by rat-myeloma--rat-spleen-cell fusion.

Project description:A monoclonal antibody directed against monkey liver phenylalanine hydroxylase was produced by using a rat-myeloma--rat-spleen-cell-fusion system. This antibody showed the interesting property of increasing mammalian phenylalanine hydroxylase activity more than 2-fold. Perhaps monoclonal antibodies with this effect on other enzyme or proteins could be developed.

Phosphopeptide analysis of phenylalanine hydroxylase isolated from liver cells exposed to hormonal stimuli.

Project description:Hormonal control of the phosphorylation of phenylalanine hydroxylase was studied by using rat liver cells incubated with [32P]Pi. After immunoprecipitation from cell extracts, the hydroxylase was subjected to proteinase digestion and subsequent sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. V8-proteinase digestion yielded one major 32P-labelled fragment, of approx. 9 kDa. Chymotrypsin digestion gave five 32P-labelled fragments ranging from approx. 39 kDa to approx. 10 kDa. Noradrenaline (10 microM) and glucagon (0.1 microM) enhanced the 32P content of all peptide fragments uniformly. Phorbol ester, in contrast with ionophore A23187, did not stimulate enzyme phosphorylation or enhance phenylalanine metabolism in liver cells. These results are discussed in relation to the nature of the protein kinase(s) that mediate phosphorylation of phenylalanine hydroxylase in liver cells.

Interaction with a monoclonal antibody alters the expression of co-operativity by phenylalanine hydroxylase from rat liver.

Project description:Phenylalanine hydroxylase purified from rat liver shows positive co-operativity in response to variations in phenylalanine concentration when assayed with the naturally occurring cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin. In addition, preincubation of phenylalanine hydroxylase with phenylalanine results in a substantial activation of the tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent activity of the enzyme. The monoclonal antibody PH-1 binds to phenylalanine hydroxylase only after the enzyme has been preincubated with phenylalanine and is therefore assumed to recognize a conformational epitope associated with substrate-level activation of the hydroxylase. Under these conditions, PH-1 inhibits the activity of phenylalanine hydroxylase; however, at maximal binding of PH-1 the enzyme is still 2-3 fold activated relative to the native enzyme. The inhibition by PH-1 is non-competitive with respect to tetrahydropterin cofactor. This suggests that PH-1 does not bind to an epitope at the active site of the hydroxylase. Upon maximal binding of PH-1, the positive co-operativity normally expressed by phenylalanine hydroxylase with respect to variations in phenylalanine concentration is abolished. The monoclonal antibody may therefore interact with phenylalanine hydroxylase at or near the regulatory or activator-binding site for phenylalanine on the enzyme molecule.

Cloning of cDNAs for M-phase phosphoproteins recognized by the MPM2 monoclonal antibody and determination of the phosphorylated epitope.

Project description:The MPM2 monoclonal antibody binds to a phospho amino acid-containing epitope present on more than 40 proteins of M-phase eukaryotic cells. We have developed a technique for cloning cDNAs encoding MPM2-reactive phosphoproteins from bacteriophage lambda expression libraries. Proteins from phage plaques were absorbed to nitrocellulose filters, phosphorylated by M-phase kinases, and screened for MPM2 binding. Partial-length cDNAs encoding two MPM2-reactive proteins termed MPM2-reactive phosphoproteins 1 and 2 (MPP1 and MPP2) were isolated. The deduced MPP1 and MPP2 amino acid sequences are not closely related to any previously described proteins. To determine which amino acid stretches contained the MPM2 epitope, sequences from a 15 amino acid peptide expression library were selected for binding to MPM2 after phosphorylation by M-phase kinases. A string of five amino acids was similar among all selected peptides, and the sequence reflecting the most frequent amino acid at each position was Leu-Thr-Pro-Leu-Lys (LTPLK). MPP1 and MPP2 proteins, respectively, contained five and nine sites closely related to LTPLK, including two that were common to both proteins, (F/T)TPLQ and SSP(I/S)D. Peptides containing LTPLK and FTPLQ were strongly phosphorylated by M-phase, but not interphase, cytosolic kinases, and the phosphorylated peptides were bound by MPM2. Thus, we have identified M-phase-specific phosphorylation sites bound by MPM2 and two putative M-phase phosphoproteins containing these sites.

Allosteric regulation of phenylalanine hydroxylase.

Project description:The liver enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is responsible for conversion of excess phenylalanine in the diet to tyrosine. Phenylalanine hydroxylase is activated by phenylalanine; this activation is inhibited by the physiological reducing substrate tetrahydrobiopterin. Phosphorylation of Ser16 lowers the concentration of phenylalanine for activation. This review discusses the present understanding of the molecular details of the allosteric regulation of the enzyme.

Epitope mapping of anti-mouse podoplanin monoclonal antibody PMab-1.

Project description:Mouse podoplanin (mPDPN) is a type I transmembrane sialoglycoprotein, which is expressed on lymphatic endothelial cells, podocytes of the kidney, and type I alveolar cells of the lung. mPDPN is known as a platelet aggregation-inducing factor and possesses four platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains: PLAG1, PLAG2, and PLAG3 in the N-terminus and PLAG4 in the middle of the mPDPN protein. mPDPN overexpression in cancers has been reportedly associated with hematogenous metastasis through interaction with the C-type lectin-like receptor 2 of platelets. We previously reported a rat anti-mPDPN monoclonal antibody clone PMab-1, which was developed by immunizing the PLAG2 and PLAG3 domains of mPDPN. PMab-1 is very useful in flow cytometry, western blot, and immunohistochemical analyses to detect both normal cells and cancers. However, the binding epitope of PMab-1 remains to be clarified. In the present study, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and immunohistochemical analyses were utilized to investigate the epitope of PMab-1. The results revealed that the critical epitope of PMab-1 is Asp39 and Met41 of mPDPN. These findings can be applied to the production of more functional anti-mPDPN monoclonal antibodies.

Functional analysis of the effect of monoclonal antibodies on monkey liver phenylalanine hydroxylase.

Project description:An analysis of the effect of eleven monoclonal antibodies on the functional characteristics of monkey liver phenylalanine hydroxylase is presented. These eleven antibodies have been found to react with eight distinct regions on the phenylalanine hydroxylase protein. PH1 antibody inhibits enzyme activity, is dependent on phenylalanine for its binding, and appears to be related to structural changes occurring during phenylalanine activation of the enzyme activity. PH2 and PH3 antibodies stimulate enzyme activity, their binding is inhibited by lysolecithin and this group apparently is recognizing structures involved in lysolecithin activation of the enzyme activity. PH5, PH10, PH12 and PH6 recognise sites on phenylalanine hydroxylase affected by lysolecithin activation.

Mouse phenylalanine hydroxylase. Homology and divergence from human phenylalanine hydroxylase.

Project description:The laboratory mouse represents an important model for the study of phenylalanine metabolism and the pathochemistry of phenylketonuria, yet mouse phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) has not been extensively studied. We report the cloning and sequencing of a mouse PAH cDNA, the expression of enzymic activity from the mouse PAH cDNA clone and the identification of mouse PAH and human PAH by two-dimensional PAGE of liver samples. These data confirm the expected homology of mouse PAH and human PAH and suggest differences in the primary sequence and the phosphorylation state of the two enzymes.

Characterization of the binding epitope of a monoclonal antibody to sulphatide.

Project description:An IgG1 monoclonal antibody, Sulph I, reacting with sulphatide (3'-sulphogalactosylceramide), was produced by immunizing Balb/c mice with that glycolipid coated on Salmonella minnesota bacterial membrane. Radioimmunodetection of the binding of the monoclonal antibody to structurally related glycolipids adsorbed to microtitre plates or chromatographed on thin-layer plates was used to determine its binding epitope. The antibody showed similar binding avidity to three sulphated glycolipids: sulphatide, sulpholactosylceramide and seminolipid. Lysosulphatide did bind the antibody, but, compared with sulphatide, 30 times more antigen was needed for half-maximal binding. Bis(sulphogangliotriosyl)ceramide and bis-sulphogangliotetraosylceramide did not bind the antibody. These results suggest that terminal galactose-3-O-sulphate and part of the hydrophobic region of the glycolipid are recognized by the Sulph I antibody.
