Mutations in the Escherichia coli surE gene increase isoaspartyl accumulation in a strain lacking the pcm repair methyltransferase but suppress stress-survival phenotypes.

The Escherichia coli surE gene is co-transcribed with pcm, encoding the L-isoaspartyl protein repair methyltransferase, and is highly conserved among both the Eubacteria and the Archaea; however, no biochemical function has yet been identified for this gene. Isoaspartyl accumulation during stationary phase was much higher in a pcm surE double mutant than in either single mutant, suggesting that the two genes may represent two parallel pathways by which E. coli can respond to protein damage. A null mutation in surE also suppressed stress-survival defects previously observed in a pcm mutant strain, providing further evidence for an interaction between the two gene products.

Induction of a germination specific, low molecular weight, acid phosphatase isozyme with specific phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity in lentil (Lens esculenta) seeds.

A germination specific isozyme of acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) hydrolysing O-phospho-L-Tyrosine, pH optima 5.5 is induced in lentil seeds. When seeds at 0 h, 24 h and 36 h of germination are electrophorezed, native PAGE on specific enzyme staining shows several constitutive isozymes of acid phosphatases. At 48 h, an isozyme is induced which gradually decreases and then disappears at 108 h of germination. The short lived, induced isozyme is present in the embryo and seed-coat but not in the plumule and the radical. Induction of this isozyme is inhibited by cycloheximide and actinomycin-D and increased by plant growth regulators such as heteroauxin and gibbrellic acid treatment during germination. The induced isozyme is a single 30 kD polypeptide, with subunit molecular mass of 25 kD, shows activity for O-phospho-L-Tyrosine. It is strongly inhibited by vanadate (microM), molybdate, tungustate as also by iodoacetate, p-chloromercuribenzoate and diethylpyrocarbonate. This study shows for the first time that the germination induced low molecular weight Acid phosphatase is a Tyrosine phosphatase super family class IV enzyme, having a role in cellular differentiation and development during seed germination.

Structure of a filamentous phosphoglycoprotein polymer: the secreted acid phosphatase of Leishmania mexicana.

The insect stage of the protozoan parasite Leishmania mexicana secretes a filamentous acid phosphatase (secreted acid phosphatase, SAP), a polymeric phosphoglycoprotein. The wild-type (wt) SAP filament is a copolymer composed of two related gene products SAP1 and SAP2, which are identical in the enzymatically active NH2-terminal domain and the COOH-terminal domain, but differ in the length of a highly glycosylated Ser/Thr-rich repeat region (32 amino acids and 383 amino acids, respectively) which is located between these domains. When expressed separately, full length SAP1, SAP2, or the NH2-terminal domain alone, are able to assemble into filaments. The Ser/Thr-rich region is the exclusive target for a novel type of O-glycosylation via phosphoserines. By using glycerol spraying/low-angle rotary metal shadowing and labelling with monoclonal antibodies it is demonstrated that the repetitive region adopts an extended conformation forming side arms which project radially from the filament core and terminate with the COOH-terminal domain. The length of the side arms of SAP1 and SAP2 (20 nm and 90 nm, respectively) corresponds to the predicted length of the Ser/Thr-rich repeat region of SAP1 and SAP2. Mass determination by scanning electron microscopy (STEM) shows that one morphologically defined globular particle of the filament core is a polypeptide dimer. We propose a model for the filament core, in which the globular NH2-terminal SAP domains form one strand composed of polypeptide dimers or two tightly associated strands of monomers which may twist into a double helix, similar to actin filaments. The highly O-glycosylated side arms project from the filament core conferring an overall bottle-brush-like appearance. The L. mexicana SAP is compared to SAPs secreted by the closely related species L. amazonensis and L. donovani.
