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

ABSTRACT: 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.

The polyamine-dependent modulation of phenylalanine hydroxylase phosphorylation state and enzymic activity in isolated liver cells.

Project description:The role of polyamines in the control of phenylalanine hydroxylase phosphorylation state and enzymic activity was investigated. Pre-treatment of liver cells with spermine (1 mM) abolishes the glucagon (1 nM)-stimulated increase in hydroxylase phosphorylation. Concurrently there is a decrease in phenylalanine hydroxylation flux, reflecting decreased enzyme activity; 50% inhibition occurs at approx. 10 microM-spermine. These results are discussed in the context of reports concerning the properties of protein phosphatase 2A.

The role of reversible phosphorylation in the hormonal control of phenylalanine hydroxylase in isolated rat proximal kidney tubules.

Project description:Reversible phosphorylation is the major mechanism underlying the short-term hormonal control of phenylalanine hydroxylase activity in the liver. We report here, for the first time, the impact of a range of hormonal effectors on both the phosphorylation state and enzymic activity of phenylalanine hydroxylase present in isolated rat proximal kidney tubules. The most potent stimulator of enzyme phosphorylation was found to be parathyroid hormone, which is known to stimulate the production of cyclic AMP in proximal-tubule cells. In addition, adrenergic amines also stimulated enzyme phosphorylation, although to a lesser extent, through interaction with a mixed alpha 1 and beta receptor population.

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

Project description: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.

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.

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.

Phenylalanine hydroxylase misfolding and pharmacological chaperones.

Project description:Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a loss-of-function inborn error of metabolism. As many other inherited diseases the main pathologic mechanism in PKU is an enhanced tendency of the mutant phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) to misfold and undergo ubiquitin-dependent degradation. Recent alternative approaches with therapeutic potential for PKU aim at correcting the PAH misfolding, and in this respect pharmacological chaperones are the focus of increasing interest. These compounds, which often resemble the natural ligands and show mild competitive inhibition, can rescue the misfolded proteins by stimulating their renaturation in vivo. For PKU, a few studies have proven the stabilization of PKU-mutants in vitro, in cells, and in mice by pharmacological chaperones, which have been found either by using the tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) cofactor as query structure for shape-focused virtual screening or by high-throughput screening of small compound libraries. Both approaches have revealed a number of compounds, most of which bind at the iron-binding site, competitively with respect to BH(4). Furthermore, PAH shares a number of ligands, such as BH(4), amino acid substrates and inhibitors, with the other aromatic amino acid hydroxylases: the neuronal/neuroendocrine enzymes tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and the tryptophan hydroxylases (TPHs). Recent results indicate that the PAH-targeted pharmacological chaperones should also be tested on TH and the TPHs, and eventually be derivatized to avoid unwanted interactions with these other enzymes. After derivatization and validation in animal models, the PAH-chaperoning compounds represent novel possibilities in the treatment of PKU.

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.

Phenylalanine hydroxylase in liver cells. Correlation of glucagon-stimulated enzyme phosphorylation with expressed activity.

Project description:Phenylalanine is transported rapidly into, but is not concentrated by, liver cells. Glucagon increased flux through phenylalanine hydroxylase; a half-maximal response was obtained at 0.7 nM. Under control conditions, 0.2-0.3 mol of phosphate were incorporated per mol of subunit of the hydroxylase at steady state. Glucagon increased this incorporation of phosphate into the hydroxylase to a maximal value of approx. 0.6 mol of phosphate per subunit; a half-maximal response was obtained at 0.3 nM. Glucagon, added simultaneously with [32P]Pi to liver cells, inhibited incorporation of 32P into the enzyme. The effects of glucagon were reproduced with dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Changes in phosphorylation correlated closely with changes in flux through phenylalanine hydroxylase in cell incubations.

Mutation analysis of Phenylalanine hydroxylase gene in Iranian patients with Phenylketonuria.

Project description:Background: Phenylketonuria as the most common genetic metabolic disorder is the result of disruption of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene. This study was carried out to explore the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene mutation status of Iranian phenylketonuria patients. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 30 patients, and hot spot areas of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene, including exons 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 were studied through polymerase chain reaction and sequencing techniques. Results: Eight different mutations, including 5 missense mutations, 1 splice mutation, 1 nonsense mutation, and 1 Silent/Splice mutation were detected. These mutations were R243X, R261Q, R261X, P281L, R241C, V399V, E280K, and IVS11+1G>C. V399V and R241C were reported for the first time in Iranian population. Three polymorphisms including Q232Q, V245V and L385L and 3 novel intronic variants including IVS10-15A>C, IVS6+44T>G, and IVS6+36 T>G were also detected in this study. Conclusion: The results of this study prove the heterogeneous status of phenylalanine hydroxylase gene mutations in the Iranian population, which can be useful in carrier testing and genetic counseling.

Identification of the Allosteric Site for Phenylalanine in Rat Phenylalanine Hydroxylase.

Project description:Liver phenylalanine hydroxylase (PheH) is an allosteric enzyme that requires activation by phenylalanine for full activity. The location of the allosteric site for phenylalanine has not been established. NMR spectroscopy of the isolated regulatory domain (RDPheH(25-117) is the regulatory domain of PheH lacking residues 1-24) of the rat enzyme in the presence of phenylalanine is consistent with formation of a side-by-side ACT dimer. Six residues in RDPheH(25-117) were identified as being in the phenylalanine-binding site on the basis of intermolecular NOEs between unlabeled phenylalanine and isotopically labeled protein. The location of these residues is consistent with two allosteric sites per dimer, with each site containing residues from both monomers. Site-specific variants of five of the residues (E44Q, A47G, L48V, L62V, and H64N) decreased the affinity of RDPheH(25-117) for phenylalanine based on the ability to stabilize the dimer. Incorporation of the A47G, L48V, and H64N mutations into the intact protein increased the concentration of phenylalanine required for activation. The results identify the location of the allosteric site as the interface of the regulatory domain dimer formed in activated PheH.
