TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo Y học: Identification and characterization of a mammalian 14-kDa phosphohistidine phosphatase

Protein histidine phosphorylation in eukaryotes has been sparsely studied compared to protein serine/threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation. In an attempt to rectify this by probing porcine liver cytosol with the phosphohistidine-containing peptide succinyl-Ala-His(P)-Pro-Phe-p-nitro-anilide (phosphopeptide I), we observed a phosphatase activity that was insensitive towards okadaic acid and EDTA. | Eur.

In an attempt to rectify this by probing porcine liver cytosol with the phosphohistidine-containing peptide succinyl-Ala-His P -Pro-Phe-p-nitro-anilide phosphopeptide I we observed a phosphatase activity that was insensitive towards okadaic acid and EDTA. This suggested the existence of a phosphohistidine phosphatase different from protein phosphatase 1 2A and 2C. A 1000-fold purification to apparent homogeneity gave a 14-kDa phosphatase with a specific activity of 3 Limol-min-1 mg-1 at pH with 7 M phosphopeptide I as substrate. Partial amino-acid sequence determination of the purified porcine enzyme by MS revealed similarity with a human sequence representing a human chromosome 9 gene of hitherto unknown function. Molecular cloning from a human embryonic kidney cell cDNA-library followed by expression and purification yielded a protein with a molecular mass of 13 700 Da and an EDTA-insensitive phosphohistidine phosphatase activity of 9 Ltmol-min-1 mg-1 towards phosphopeptide I. No detectable activity was obtained towards a set of phosphoserine- phosphothreonine- and phosphotyrosine peptides. Northern blot analysis indicated that the human phosphohistidine phosphatase mRNA was present preferentially in heart and skeletal muscle. These results provide a new tool for studying eukaryotic histidine phosphorylation dephosphorylation. Keywords dephosphorylation N-phosphorylation phosphoamidase .
