Cloning and characterization of a mouse cDNA encoding a cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine-phosphatase.

ABSTRACT: A mouse cDNA encoding a non-receptor-type phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTP; EC 3.1.3.48) has been isolated. The 1570-base-pair cDNA contains a single open reading frame that predicts a 382-amino acid protein with Mr 44,640. The nucleic acid and amino acid sequences are homologous to those of a previously described human T-cell PTP [Cool, D. E., Tonks, N. K., Charbonneau, H., Walsh, K. A., Fischer, E. H. & Krebs, E. G. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86, 5257-5261]; however, the mouse and human 3' sequences diverge and predict markedly different protein carboxyl termini. The mouse PTP gene is expressed as a 1.9-kilobase message in several stages of murine embryonic development and in a variety of adult tissues. An additional 1.3-kilobase message was found to be expressed specifically in testes. Finally, we report the isolation of a human T-cell PTP cDNA containing a 3' end sequence homologous to the mouse PTP.

Cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding an A-kinase anchoring protein located in the centrosome, AKAP450.

Project description:A combination of protein kinase A type II (RII) overlay screening, database searches and PCR was used to identify a centrosomal A-kinase anchoring protein. A cDNA with an 11.7 kb open reading frame was characterized and found to correspond to 50 exons of genomic sequence on human chromosome 7q21-22. This cDNA clone encoded a 3908 amino acid protein of 453 kDa, that was designated AKAP450 (DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank accession No. AJ131693). Sequence comparison demonstrated that the open reading frame contained a previously characterized cDNA encoding Yotiao, as well as the human homologue of AKAP120. Numerous coiled-coil structures were predicted from AKAP450, and weak homology to pericentrin, giantin and other structural proteins was observed. A putative RII-binding site was identified involving amino acid 2556 of AKAP450 by mutation analysis combined with RII overlay and an amphipatic helix was predicted in this region. Immunoprecipitation of RII from RIPA-buffer extracts of HeLa cells demonstrated co-precipitation of AKAP450. By immunofluorecent labeling with specific antibodies it was demonstrated that AKAP450 localized to centrosomes. Furthermore, AKAP450 was shown to co-purify in centrosomal preparations. The observation of two mRNAs and several splice products suggests additional functions for the AKAP450 gene.

Molecular cloning and characterization of cDNA encoding a putative stress-induced heat-shock protein from Camelus dromedarius.

Project description:Heat shock proteins are ubiquitous, induced under a number of environmental and metabolic stresses, with highly conserved DNA sequences among mammalian species. Camelus dromedaries (the Arabian camel) domesticated under semi-desert environments, is well adapted to tolerate and survive against severe drought and high temperatures for extended periods. This is the first report of molecular cloning and characterization of full length cDNA of encoding a putative stress-induced heat shock HSPA6 protein (also called HSP70B') from Arabian camel. A full-length cDNA (2417 bp) was obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and cloned in pET-b expression vector. The sequence analysis of HSPA6 gene showed 1932 bp-long open reading frame encoding 643 amino acids. The complete cDNA sequence of the Arabian camel HSPA6 gene was submitted to NCBI GeneBank (accession number HQ214118.1). The BLAST analysis indicated that C. dromedaries HSPA6 gene nucleotides shared high similarity (77-91%) with heat shock gene nucleotide of other mammals. The deduced 643 amino acid sequences (accession number ADO12067.1) showed that the predicted protein has an estimated molecular weight of 70.5 kDa with a predicted isoelectric point (pI) of 6.0. The comparative analyses of camel HSPA6 protein sequences with other mammalian heat shock proteins (HSPs) showed high identity (80-94%). Predicted camel HSPA6 protein structure using Protein 3D structural analysis high similarities with human and mouse HSPs. Taken together, this study indicates that the cDNA sequences of HSPA6 gene and its amino acid and protein structure from the Arabian camel are highly conserved and have similarities with other mammalian species.

Cloning of a cDNA for a major human protein-tyrosine-phosphatase.

Project description:We have isolated a cDNA clone encoding the major protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (protein-tyrosine-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.48) of human placenta. Degenerate oligonucleotides, based on the amino acid sequence of the protein, were used to amplify an internal fragment of the gene from human placental cDNA by the polymerase chain reaction. This fragment was then used to probe a human placental cDNA library. A 3.3-kilobase (kb) insert was isolated and sequenced. The insert has a single extended open reading frame that predicts a 435 amino acid protein of Mr approximately 50,000. From the amino terminus to residue 321, the deduced amino acid sequence is identical to that previously determined by peptide sequencing [Charbonneau, H., Tonks, N. K., Kumar, S., Diltz, C. D., Harrylock, M., Cool, D. E., Krebs, E. G., Fischer, E. H. & Walsh, K. A. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86, 5252-5256]; however, the sequence predicts that the protein contains an additional 114 amino acids not present in the reported peptide sequence. In vitro translation of the 3.3-kb insert produces a protein of Mr 56,000, in general agreement with the predicted size. The phosphatase gene appears to be present as a single copy in human genomic DNA and is transcribed into a 3.5-kb message in a variety of tissues.

Molecular cloning of the cDNA encoding pp36, a tyrosine-phosphorylated adaptor protein selectively expressed by T cells and natural killer cells.

Project description:Activation of T and natural killer (NK) cells leads to the tyrosine phosphorylation of pp36 and to its association with several signaling molecules, including phospholipase Cgamma-1 and Grb2. Microsequencing of peptides derived from purified rat pp36 protein led to the cloning, in rat and man, of cDNA encoding a T- and NK cell-specific protein with several putative Src homology 2 domain-binding motifs. A rabbit antiserum directed against a peptide sequence from the cloned rat molecule recognized tyrosine phosphorylated pp36 from pervanadate-treated rat thymocytes. When expressed in 293T human fibroblast cells and tyrosine-phosphorylated, pp36 associated with phospholipase Cgamma-1 and Grb2. Studies with GST-Grb2 fusion proteins demonstrated that the association was specific for the Src homology 2 domain of Grb-2. Molecular cloning of the gene encoding pp36 should facilitate studies examining the role of this adaptor protein in proximal signaling events during T and NK cell activation.

Lemon protein disulfide isomerase: cDNA cloning and biochemical characterization.

Project description:BackgroundProtein disulfide isomerases (PDIs), a family of structurally related enzymes, aid in protein folding by catalyzing disulfide bonds formation, breakage, or isomerization in newly synthesized proteins and thus.ResultsA ClPDI cDNA (1828 bp, GenBank accession HM641784) encoding a putative PDI from Citrus limonum was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The DNA sequence encodes a protein of 500 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 60.5 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence is conserved among the reported PDIs. A 3-D structural model of the ClPDI has been created based on the known crystal structure of Homo sapiens (PDB ID: 3F8U_A). The enzyme has two putative active sites comprising the redox-active disulfides between residues 60-63 and 405-408 (motif CGHC). To further characterize the ClPDI, the coding region was subcloned into an expression vector pET-20b (+), transformed into E. coli Rosetta (DE3)pLysS, and recombinant protein expressed. The recombinant ClPDI was purified by a nickel Sepharose column. PDI's activity was assayed based on the ability of the enzyme to isomerize scrambled RNase A (sRNase A) to active enzyme. The KM, kcat and kcat/KM values were 8.3 × 10-3 μM, 3.0 × 10-5 min-1, and 3.6 × 10-1 min-1 mM-1. The enzyme was most active at pH 8.ConclusionsThe advantage of this enzyme over the PDI from all other sources is its low KM. The potential applications of this PDI in health and beauty may worth pursuing.

Cloning and characterization of a putative mouse acetyl-CoA transporter cDNA.

Project description:A mouse acetyl-CoA transporter (Acatn) cDNA was isolated by PCR cloning. Mouse Acatn exhibited 92% homology with human sequence on the basis of amino-acid sequence. The predicted gene product of Acatn is a 61 kDa hydrophobic protein with six to 10 transmembrane domains. Transfection of mouse Acatn cDNA into HeLa/GT3+ cells resulted in significant increase in the amount of 9-O-acetylated gangliosides, suggesting that Acatn does play an important role in the acetylation of gangliosides. Northern blot analysis of Acatn mRNA suggested that transcript of Acatn is widely distributed in various adult tissues. Expression of Acatn was found to be developmentally regulated, with high expression levels during early embryonic stages, and then there was a subsequent decrease in expression levels in the later embryonic stages.

Cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding a novel extracellular peroxidase from Trametes versicolor.

Project description:The white rot basidiomycete Trametes versicolor secretes a large number of peroxidases which are believed to be involved in the degradation of polymeric lignin. These peroxidases have been classified previously as lignin peroxidases or manganese peroxidases (MnP). We have isolated a novel extracellular peroxidase-encoding cDNA sequence from T. versicolor CU1, the transcript levels of which are repressed by low concentrations of Mn2+ and induced by nitrogen and carbon but not induced in response to a range of stresses which have been reported to induce MnP expression.

Molecular cloning, expression and characterization of cDNA encoding a mouse alpha1a-adrenoceptor.

Project description:1. In this study, we have cloned, expressed, and characterized an alpha1a-adrenoceptor gene from the mouse. We designed oligonucleotide PCR primers complementary to regions of the rat alpha1a-adrenoceptor sequence and amplified cDNA fragments from total RNA of mouse cerebral cortex, liver and kidney by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR). 2. Both the nucleotide and deduced peptide sequences of the cDNA showed high sequence identity with those of cloned alpha1a-adrenoceptors from other species. The cDNA clone had an open reading frame of 1398 nucleotides encoding a 466 amino acid peptide which had 97%, 92% and 90% identity with the deduced amino acid sequences of the rat, human and bovine alpha1a-adrenoceptor, respectively. 3. The amplified mouse cDNA was inserted into a mammalian expression vector pcDNA3.1(+) and expressed in COS-1 cells. The pharmacological properties of the mouse cDNA clone were examined in radioligand binding studies and functional assays. The expressed mouse protein had a high affinity for [3H]-prazosin (Kd = 0.48 nM) and pattern of affinity for antagonists in competition studies that is similar to that of the rat alpha1a-adrenoceptor. Chloroethylclonidine (CEC) could slowly alkylate the expressed protein, with a rate similar to that of the rat alpha1a-adrenoceptor. 4. The expressed receptors were able to mediate noradrenaline (NA) stimulation of the production of inositol phosphates in COS-1 cells, consistent with coupling to phospholipase C. This response to NA could be reversed by pretreatment of the transfected cells with prazosin. 5. Based on the above evidence, we concluded that the cloned cDNA is that of the mouse alpha1a-adrenoceptor.

Cloning, expression, and characterization of a cDNA encoding a novel human growth factor for primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Project description:Multiple growth factors synergistically stimulate proliferation of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells. A human myeloid cell line, KPB-M15, constitutively produces a novel hematopoietic cytokine, termed stem cell growth factor (SCGF), possessing species-specific proliferative activities. Here we report the molecular cloning, expression, and characterization of a cDNA encoding human SCGF using a newly developed lambdaSHDM vector that is more efficient for differential and expression cloning. cDNA for SCGF encodes a 29-kDa polypeptide without N-linked glycosylation. SCGF transiently produced by COS-1 cells supports growth of hematopoietic progenitor cells through a short-term liquid culture of bone marrow cells and exhibits promoting activities on erythroid and granulocyte/macrophage progenitor cells in primary semisolid culture with erythropoietin and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor, respectively. Expression of SCGF mRNA is restricted to myeloid cells and fibroblasts, suggesting that SCGF is a growth factor functioning within the hematopoietic microenvironment. SCGF could disclose some human-specific mechanisms as yet unidentified from studies on the murine hematopoietic system.

Characterization of farnesylated protein tyrosine phosphatase TcPRL-1 from Trypanosoma cruzi.

Project description:Protein tyrosine kinases and phosphatases play important roles in the regulation of cell growth, development, and differentiation. We report here the identification in Trypanosoma cruzi of a gene (TcPRL-1) encoding a protein tyrosine phosphatase. The predicted protein (TcPRL-1) shares ca. 35% identity with the mammalian protein tyrosine phosphatase known as phosphatase of regenerating liver 1 (PRL-1). Four copies of this protein tyrosine phosphatase are present in the T. cruzi genome, and Northern blot assays showed a transcript of approximately 750 bases. TcPRL-1 was detected by Western blot analysis only in amastigote extracts as a 21-kDa protein. TcPRL-1 was expressed in Escherichia coli, and its phosphatase activity was determined by using p-nitrophenylphosphate and a phosphorylated protein as substrates. In contrast to other PRLs, TcPRL-1 activity was not affected by pentamidine, and it was inhibited by very low concentrations of o-vanadate. TcPRL-1 has a C-terminal CAAX motif (CAVM) and is farnesylated in vitro by T. cruzi epimastigote extracts and in vivo according to the transfection results. After transfection of T. cruzi with a vector that expresses TcPRL-1 as a C-terminal fusion to green fluorescent protein, GFP-TcPRL-1 was detected in the endocytic pathway of epimastigotes, amastigotes, and trypomastigotes by colocalization with cruzipain and concanavalin A. Interestingly, a mutant form without the CAAX motif localized to the cytoplasm, in contrast to its mammalian counterparts that localize to the nucleus. The results of these studies on TcPRL-1 reveal that, even though the animal and parasite PRLs share similar kinetic properties, their susceptibilities to inhibitors, as well as their localization, are distinct, implying that they may be involved in different cellular processes.
