Analysis of insulin-receptor phosphorylation sites in intact cells by two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping.

Insulin stimulates the autophosphorylation of the partially purified insulin receptor initially on tyrosine residues 1146, 1150 and 1151. This is followed by increased autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues 1316, 1322 and two further residues, possibly tyrosine residues 953 and 960 or 972 [Tavaré & Denton (1988) Biochem. J. 252, 607-615]. In the present paper we have used two cell lines transfected with insulin-receptor cDNA (CHO.T and NIH 3T3 HIR3.5 cells) to assess which tyrosine residues are phosphorylated on the insulin receptor within intact cells. We show that: (1) insulin causes a rapid increase in phosphorylation of tyrosine residues 1146, 1150 and 1151 in both cell types; tyrosine residues 1316 and 1322 are also phosphorylated, but apparently to a lesser extent in NIH 3T3 HIR3.5 cells; (2) the sites that may correspond to tyrosine residues 953 and 960 or 972 appear to be very poorly phosphorylated in both intact cell types; (3) insulin also promotes a substantial and rapid increase in the phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues on insulin receptors on CHO.T cells; this results in the appearance of two phosphopeptides not evident in the maps of the solubilized receptor preparations autophosphorylated in vitro.

Male-dependent variability of fertilization and embryo development in two bovine in vitro fertilization systems and the effects of casein phosphopeptides (CPPs).

This study investigated the effects of semen from five different bulls and two different ejaculates of the same bull on penetration, cleavage, blastocyst formation, and cell allocation in bovine blastocysts produced in vitro. Casein phosphopeptides (CPPs) were tested for their ability to enhance fertilization and minimize variability among bulls and ejaculates. In Experiment 1, the BO-fertilization system was employed. Penetration and polyspermy both displayed great variation among bulls and between ejaculates, whereas no significant differences were observed in cleavage and blastocyst-formation rates. Similar variability was observed in penetration, polyspermy, cleavage, blastocyst-formation rates and cell allocation and distribution when the two fertilization systems, TALP and BO, were compared in Experiment 2. The BO-system supported penetration and polyspermy better (P < 0.05) than the TALP-system, whereas the TALP-system was superior (P < 0.05) in supporting cleavage and blastocyst formation. Significant interactions existed between bulls and the fertilization system employed. It is concluded that the success of in vitro fertilization is markedly dependent on individual bulls as well as on ejaculates from the same bull. CPPs are able to enhance penetration and embryo development in certain bulls or ejaculates and thus contribute to reducing the degree of individual variability, but they do not generally improve the success of bovine embryo production in vitro.

Identical Mr 70,000 S6 kinase is activated biphasically by epidermal growth factor: a phosphopeptide that characterizes the late phase.

Mitogenic stimulation of quiescent mouse 3T3 cells with epidermal growth factor leads to biphasic S6 kinase activation. The kinases present in both phases of the response have been purified from 32P-labeled cells and shown to contain a phosphoprotein of equivalent Mr 70,000. Chromatographic analysis of the purified S6 kinases on a Mono Q column reveals that (i) all 32P-labeled protein coelutes with S6 kinase activity, (ii) only those fractions containing S6 kinase autophosphorylate, (iii) autophosphorylation is restricted to a single Mr 70,000 protein, and (iv) the extent of autophosphorylation directly parallels the degree of S6 kinase activation. Analysis of the two autophosphorylated S6 kinases by two-dimensional tryptic phosphopeptide mapping indicates that they are the same protein. Both in vivo 32P-labeled S6 kinases contain phosphoserine and phosphothreonine but no detectable phosphotyrosine. Two-dimensional tryptic peptide maps of the in vivo 32P-labeled S6 kinases are essentially identical, except for a single qualitative change in the late-phase S6 kinase.

In situ detection of activated Bruton's tyrosine kinase in the Ig signaling complex by phosphopeptide-specific monoclonal antibodies.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a critical transducer of signals originating from the B cell antigen receptor (BCR). Dosage, sequential phosphorylation, and protein interactions are interdependent mechanisms influencing Btk function. Phosphopeptide-specific mAbs recognizing two distinct phosphotyrosine modifications were used to quantify Btk activation by immunofluorescent techniques during B cell stimulation. In a population of cultured B cells stimulated by BCR crosslinking and analyzed by flow cytometry, transient phosphorylation of the regulatory Btk tyrosine residues (551Y and 223Y) was detected. The kinetics of phosphorylation of the residues were temporally distinct. Tyrosine 551, a transactivating substrate site for Src-family kinases, was maximally phosphorylated within approximately 30 seconds of stimulation as monitored by flow cytometry. Tyrosine 223, an autophosphorylation site within the SH3 domain, was maximally phosphorylated at approximately 5 minutes. Btk returned to a low tyrosine phosphorylation level within 30 minutes, despite persistent elevation of global tyrosine phosphorylation. Colocalization of activated Btk molecules with the crosslinked BCR signaling complex was observed to coincide with the period of maximal Btk tyrosine phosphorylation when stimulated B cells were analyzed with confocal microscopy. The results of these in situ temporal and spatial analyses imply that Btk signaling occurs in the region of the Ig receptor signaling complex, suggesting a similar location for downstream targets of its activity.

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase and p72syk noncovalently associate with the low affinity Fc gamma receptor on human platelets through an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif. Reconstitution with synthetic phosphopeptides.

Previously, we have demonstrated that the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase p72syk is coupled to the platelet Fc receptor for IgG (Fc gamma RIIA) (Chacko, G. W., Duchemin, A. M., Coggeshall, K. M., Osborne, J. M., Brandt, J. T., and Anderson, C. L. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 32435-32440). Further analysis of the platelet activation by Fc gamma RIIA demonstrated that Fc gamma RIIA is also inducibly coupled to the serine/threonine and lipid kinase, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-K). activation of platelets with anti-Fc gamma RIIA antibodies resulted in the noncovalent association of PI 3-K with Fc gamma RIIA as well as an increase in Fc gamma RIIA-associated PI 3-K activity. Binding of both p72syk and PI 3-K to Fc gamma RIIA was reconstituted with synthetic phosphopeptides corresponding to the sequence of the atypical immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in the cytoplasmic domain of Fc gamma RIIA. Our findings demonstrate that coupling of both p72syk and PI. 3-K activities to Fc gamma RIIA is regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the ITAM, and we speculate that p72syk might act as an adapter to recruit PI 3-K to activated Fc gamma RIIA.

Interactions between a minimal protein serine/threonine phosphatase and its phosphopeptide substrate sequence.

The protein phosphatase encoded by coliphage lambda (PPlambda) was found to be the equivalent of the minimal catalytic core of serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PP) by biochemical and mutational criteria. Bacterially expressed truncated versions of PP1 and PP5 phosphatases, representing the catalytic cores homologous to PPlambda, exhibited potent phosphatase activity. Unlike full-length PP1, but like PPlambda, the recombinant cores could use casein, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, and a wide variety of peptides as substrates and were resistant to okadaic acid, microcystin-LR, and trypsin. Mutations of His173, Asp208, or Arg221 had little effect on the activity of the PP1 core protein, indicating its closer identity with PPlambda than with full-length PP1. Terminal deletions of a few amino acids of the cores destroyed their activity, supporting their minimal nature. Analysis of PPlambda mutants suggested an influence of the substrate on metal ion binding. The minimal length of a phosphopeptide substrate of PPlambda appeared to be a phosphorylated serine/threonine flanked by 1 or 2 amino acid residues on either side, the N-terminal ones being more effective.

Mammal-specific, ERK-dependent, caldesmon phosphorylation in smooth muscle. Quantitation using novel anti-phosphopeptide antibodies.

Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) phosphorylate the high molecular mass isoform of the actin-binding protein caldesmon (h-CaD) at two sites (Ser(759) and Ser(789)) during smooth muscle stimulation. To investigate the role of phosphorylation at these sites, antibodies were generated against phosphopeptides analogous to the sequences around Ser(759) and Ser(789). Affinity-purified antibodies were phosho- and sequence-specific. The major site of phosphorylation in h-CaD in porcine carotid arterial muscle strips was at Ser(789); however, the amount of phosphate did not vary appreciably with either KCl or phorbol ester stimulation. Phosphorylation at Ser(759) of h-CaD was almost undetectable (<0.005 mol of phosphate/mol of protein). Moreover, phosphorylation of the low molecular mass isoform of the protein (l-CaD) at the site analogous to Ser(789) was greater in serum-stimulated cultured smooth muscle cells than in serum-starved cells. Serum-stimulated l-CaD phosphorylation was attenuated by the protein kinase inhibitor PD98059. These data 1) identify Ser(789) of h-CaD as the major site of ERK-dependent phosphorylation in carotid arteries; 2) show that the level of phosphorylation at Ser(789) is relatively constant following carotid arterial muscle stimulation, despite an increase in total protein phosphate content; and 3) suggest a functional role for ERK-dependent l-CaD phosphorylation in cell division.

14-3-3 protein C-terminal stretch occupies ligand binding groove and is displaced by phosphopeptide binding.

14-3-3 proteins are important regulators of numerous cellular signaling circuits. They bind to phosphorylated protein ligands and regulate their functions by a number of different mechanisms. The C-terminal part of the 14-3-3 protein is known to be involved in the regulation of 14-3-3 binding properties. The structure of this region is unknown; however, a possible location of the C-terminal stretch within the ligand binding groove of the 14-3-3 protein has been suggested. To fully understand the role of the C-terminal stretch in the regulation of the 14-3-3 protein binding properties, we investigated the physical location of the C-terminal stretch and its changes upon the ligand binding. For this purpose, we have used Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements and molecular dynamics simulation. FRET measurements between Trp242 located at the end of the C-terminal stretch and a dansyl group attached at two different cysteine residues (Cys25 or Cys189) indicated that in the absence of the ligand, the C-terminal stretch occupies the ligand binding groove of 14-3-3 protein. Our data also showed that phosphopeptide binding displaces the C-terminal stretch from the ligand binding groove. Intramolecular distances calculated from FRET measurements fit well with distances obtained from molecular dynamics simulation of full-length 14-3-3zeta protein.

Intestinal absorption of calcium in rats given diets containing casein or amino acid mixture: the role of casein phosphopeptides.

1. In an attempt to investigate calcium absorption in the rat during the postprandial period, with the least alteration of the physical environment, the undisturbed small intestine was ligated in situ 2.5 or 3.0 h after ingestion of a diet containing 200 g casein/kg or an equivalent amino acid mixture, or 925 g casein/kg. Estimation of Ca absorption was made by comparing the amount of soluble 40Ca or 45Ca in the contents of segments from the rats receiving 45Ca by intubation 30 min after withdrawal of food, ligated after a further 30 min, then killed after 0 or 30 min. 2. Under conditions such that the estimated amount of a marker, polyethylene glycol, in segments ligated in a defined position was little changed in rats killed 30 min apart, the difference in the amount of soluble 40Ca was much higher in the rats fed on the basal diet containing 200 g casein/kg than in other groups. 3. This specific effect on Ca absorption, particularly in the distal portion of the small intestine, could be seen also after 45Ca was directly injected into ligated segments in situ. The amount of 45Ca in the portal blood 15 min after injection of the label was also highest in the rats given the basal diet. 4. The results were in agreement with our previous findings that the formation and accumulation of casein phosphopeptides causes an increase in the amount of soluble Ca in the distal small intestine.

The effect of casein phosphopeptides on calcium absorption from calcium-fortified milk in growing rats.

The effect of casein phosphopeptides (CPP) prepared from bovine casein by enzymatic hydrolysis (extrinsic CPP) on Ca absorption from Ca-fortified milk was studied in young male rats, in comparison with that produced from casein in the small intestine (intrinsic CPP). The gastrointestinal Ca disappearance (Ca ingested - (gastric Ca + intestinal Ca )) was calculated as an indirect measurement of Ca absorption. After being fasted overnight, the animals were given 2.0 ml Ca-fortified milk (30 g fat, 35 g protein, 2.7 g Ca/kg) without or with 1.0 mg extrinsic CPP/ml, by gastric intubation. The intestinal soluble Ca level after 15 min and the gastrointestinal Ca disappearance after 15 and 30 min in the rats given Ca-fortified milk with 1.0 mg extrinsic CPP/ml were significantly higher than these figures in the rats given Ca-fortified milk without CPP (P < 0.05). When the rats were given unfortified milk (1.35 g Ca/kg) in another reference experiment, no significant effect on intestinal soluble Ca and gastrointestinal Ca disappearance was apparent from the addition of CPP to milk. Ca availability was estimated by measuring 45Ca-deposits in the bones of rats 48 h after being given 2.0 ml Ca-fortified milk labelled with 45Ca (180 kBq/2 ml) with or without 0.25 mg CPP/ml. The levels of 45Ca radioactivity of the femur and tibia from the rats given Ca-fortified milk with extrinsic CPP were significantly higher than those from the control group (P < 0.05). These results suggest that the addition of CPP to Ca-fortified milk could increase Ca absorption by growing rats mainly from CaCO3 added to the milk. The mechanism of CPP related to the interaction of CPP and Ca in the gastrointestinal tract is discussed.

Preparation and characterization of milk calcium salts by using casein phosphopeptide.

Milk calcium salt solution was prepared by the following procedures using casein phosphopeptides (CPP). To CPP solution, 1 M citric acid, 1 M CaCl2 and 1 M K2HPO4 were added with stirring, while adjusting the pH to 6.7. The prepared solution was left for 12 hr at 25 degrees C and then used for subsequent experiments, or lyophilized. The concentrations of organic phosphate of CPP, calcium, inorganic phosphate, and citrate in the typical milk salt solution were 7, 30, 22, and 10 mM, respectively, which were close to those in bovine milk. The lyophilized sample was easily dissolved in water. No crystal structure of hydroxyapatite was shown in the lyophilized milk calcium salts by X-ray diffraction analysis, although the pattern of KCl crystal was observed. The X-ray diffraction pattern of commercial whey mineral, which was prepared by precipitation at alkaline pH from rennet whey, was similar to that of hydroxyapatite. It was confirmed by high-performance gel chromatographic analysis that the form of calcium phosphate in the milk calcium salts was similar to that of casein micelles.

Clustering of Nck by a 12-residue Tir phosphopeptide is sufficient to trigger localized actin assembly.

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) translocates effector proteins into mammalian cells to promote reorganization of the cytoskeleton into filamentous actin pedestals. One effector, Tir, is a transmembrane receptor for the bacterial surface adhesin intimin, and intimin binding by the extracellular domain of Tir is required for actin assembly. The cytoplasmic NH2 terminus of Tir interacts with focal adhesion proteins, and its tyrosine-phosphorylated COOH terminus binds Nck, a host adaptor protein critical for pedestal formation. To define the minimal requirements for EPEC-mediated actin assembly, Tir derivatives were expressed in mammalian cells in the absence of all other EPEC components. Replacement of the NH2 terminus of Tir with a viral membrane-targeting sequence promoted efficient surface expression of a COOH-terminal Tir fragment. Artificial clustering of this fusion protein revealed that the COOH terminus of Tir, by itself, is sufficient to initiate a complete signaling cascade leading to pedestal formation. Consistent with this finding, clustering of Nck by a 12-residue Tir phosphopeptide triggered actin tail formation in Xenopus egg extracts.

MEK-1 phosphorylation by MEK kinase, Raf, and mitogen-activated protein kinase: analysis of phosphopeptides and regulation of activity.

MEK-1 is a dual threonine and tyrosine recognition kinase that phosphorylates and activates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). MEK-1 is in turn activated by phosphorylation. Raf and MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEKK) independently phosphorylate and activate MEK-1. Recombinant MEK-1 is also capable of autoactivation. Purified recombinant wild type MEK-1 and a mutant kinase inactive MEK-1 were used as substrates for MEKK, Raf, and autophosphorylation. MEK-1 phosphorylation catalyzed by Raf, MEKK, or autophosphorylation resulted in activation of MEK-1 kinase activity measured by phosphorylation of a mutant kinase inactive MAPK. Phosphoamino acid analysis and peptide mapping identified similar MEK-1 tryptic phosphopeptides after phosphorylation by MEK kinase, Raf, or MEK-1 autophosphorylation. MEK-1 is phosphorylated by MAPK at sites different from that for Raf and MEKK. Phosphorylation of MEK-1 by MAPK does not affect MEK-1 kinase activity. Several phosphorylation sites present in MEK-1 immunoprecipitated from 32P-labeled cells after stimulation with epidermal growth factor were common to the in vitro phosphorylated enzyme. The major site of MAPK phosphorylation in MEK-1 is threonine 292. Mutation of threonine 292 to alanine eliminates 90% of MAPK catalyzed phosphorylation of MEK-1 but does not influence MEK-1 activity. The results demonstrate that MEKK and Raf regulate MEK-1 activity by phosphorylation of common residues and thus, two independent protein kinases converge at MEK-1 to regulate the activity of MAPK.

Dietary casein phosphopeptides prevent bone loss in aged ovariectomized rats.

The effect of dietary Ca-bound casein phosphopeptides (CaCPP) on the bones of aged ovariectomized (OVX) rats was studied as a model for post-menopausal bone loss. Three groups of ovariectomized rats were fed a control diet or one of two experimental diets, and one group of sham-operated rats (SHAM) was fed the control diet. The experimental diets contained 0.5% Ca and 0.4% P. In one diet, CaCPP was the sole source of calcium and provided 62.5% of dietary phosphorus (CaCPP diet). In the other, Ca-free CPP provided 100% of dietary phosphorus (Ca-free CPP diet). In the control diet, CaCO3 and KH2PO4 were used. During a 17-wk feeding period, there was little change in femoral bone mineral densities (BMD) of ovariectomized rats fed CaCPP and Ca-free CPP, or in the SHAM rats fed the control diet, whereas the bone mineral densities in the control ovariectomized rats decreased with time. Some of the segmental bone mineral densities of the excised femurs from the rats fed CaCPP were significantly higher than those from the control ovariectomized rats, but the values of the Ca-free CPP group were similar to those of the control ovariectomized rats. In the Ca-free CPP group, the discrepancy in bone mineral densities obtained between in vivo results and excised specimens might have been the result of a loss in bone mass due to their significant loss in body weight. There were no significant differences in serum inorganic phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase activity, osteocalcin or 1 alpha-25-dihydroxycholecalciferol concentrations among the ovariectomized groups. In the CaCPP and Ca-free CPP groups, urinary phosphorus excretion decreased and urinary calcium excretion increased significantly with time. The inhibitory effect on bone loss in aged ovariectomized rats could be due to the effects of dietary CaCPP on phosphorus and calcium metabolism.

Casein phosphopeptides influence calcium uptake by cultured human intestinal HT-29 tumor cells.

We investigated the direct effects of casein phosphopeptides (CPP), which are formed by the proteolytic degradation of alpha- and beta-caseins, on calcium uptake by human HT-29 intestinal tumor cells, which undergo an enterocytically oriented differentiation in culture. A commercial preparation containing a mixture of purified CPP and an individual CPP of 25 amino acids, both containing the characteristic Ca(2+) binding motif, ser(P)-ser(P)-ser(P)-glu-glu, were employed. The study was performed at the single-cell level and on a cell population and measured the changes in cytosolic calcium concentration before and after CPP addition. In the presence of 2 mmol/L extracellular calcium, both CPP preparations induced a transient rise of free intracellular calcium ions, which did not influence ATP-induced release of calcium from intracellular stores, and which disappeared completely in the absence of extracellular calcium. Pretreatment of these cells with thapsigargin, which completely empties the intracellular calcium stores, did not abolish the cell responses to CPP. Repetitive stimulation of HT-29 cells with CPP always elicited a transient calcium rise, suggesting a lack of desensitization. The CPP-stimulated cytosolic calcium rise was dependent on CPP dose, in a seemingly nonsaturating mode, and on cell numbers. All of this is consistent with the hypothesis that CPP do not influence membrane-bound receptors or ion channels, but may act as calcium ionophores or calcium carriers across the membrane. The reported findings provide a new basis on which to assess the possibility that CPP enhance calcium absorption and bioavailability in animals.

Modifications of substituted seryl and threonyl residues in phosphopeptides and a polysialoglycoprotein by beta-elimination and nucleophile additions.

The beta-elimination and nucleophile addition reactions of the substituted serine and threonine residues were studied using several synthesized fluorescence-labeled phosphopeptides and a salmon egg polysialoglycoprotein (PSGP). The reagents used were 1 M CH3SH-0.43 M NaOH, 1 M NaBH4-0.1 M NaOH, 1 M CH3NH2-0.1 M NaOH, and 1 M Na2SO3-0.1 M NaOH. The beta-elimination reaction of a phosphoserine peptide, Gly-Ser(PO4)-Glu-AEAP, was about 20 times faster than that of the corresponding phosphothreonine peptide. The carboxyl-side amino acid of the phosphoamino acids in peptides greatly affected the beta-elimination rate. The beta-elimination reaction rates of O-glycosyl serine and threonine in the polysialoglycoprotein were similar and were about a half of that of the phosphoserine peptide. The rates of addition of the three nucleophiles and hydrogen to alpha-aminoacrylic acid (beta-elimination product of substituted serine) in the peptide decreased in the order of CH3SH, Na2SO3, CH3NH2, and H2(NaBH4), and the addition to alpha-aminocrotonic acid (beta-elimination product of substituted threonine) in the order of Na2SO3, CH3NH2, CH3SH, and H2. These results indicated that sulfite is the most recommended nucleophile because of its high addition rate. If sulfite addition is carried out in the presence of NaBH4, sugar chains can be released as alditols, converting the sugar-attaching amino acids to beta-sulfoamino acids.

Synthesis of phosphopeptides containing O-phosphoserine or O-phosphothreonine.

Peptides containing phosphoserine or phosphothreonine were synthesized by solid phase methods. Phosphoserine and phosphothreonine were incorporated into peptides using Boc-diphenylphosphono esters of serine and threonine and standard DCC/HOBt coupling. The phenylphosphoesters were not removed when the peptides were cleaved from the resin by HF or by trifluoromethane sulfonic acid, but were subsequently removed by catalytic hydrogenation. Phosphopeptides were purified by HPLC and by Fe+3-Chelex chromatography and their identity verified by mass spectrometry. Two peptides, Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser(P)-Leu-Gly and Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Thr(P)-Leu-Gly, were prepared by both enzymatic and chemical methods and had identical properties.

Small-scale manual multiple peptide synthesis system. Application to phosphopeptide synthesis.

A system for small-scale (ca. 10-50 mumol) manual multiple peptide synthesis assembled from commercially available solid-phase extraction apparatus is described. This system was used to prepare (on a 15 mumol scale) the five monophosphorylated isomers of the peptide ASTTVSKTE, a proteolytic fragment of the C-terminal region of rhodopsin. The peptides were assembled using serine or threonine active esters without hydroxyl protection at the positions of phosphorylation. Phosphate groups were introduced using postassembly phosphitylation/oxidation according to a published procedure [Andrews, D.M., Kitchin, J. & Seale, P.W. (1991) Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 38, 469-475; Staerkaer, G., Jakobsen, M.H., Olsen, C.E. & Holm, A., Tetrahedron Lett. 32, 5389-5392; Perich, J.W. (1992) Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 40 134-140]. The reported system provides a relatively inexpensive approach to multiple peptide synthesis, including synthesis of phosphopeptides, for laboratories whose synthesis requirements do not justify investment in an automated multiple peptide synthesis instrument.
