Mammalian AMP-activated protein kinase shares structural and functional homology with the catalytic domain of yeast Snf1 protein kinase.
The AMP-activated protein kinase is responsible for the regulation of fatty acid synthesis by phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. It may also regulate cholesterol synthesis via phosphorylation and inactivation of hormone-sensitive lipase and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase. We have purified the AMP-activated protein kinase 14,000-fold from porcine liver. The 63-kDa catalytic subunit ...
متن کاملDrosophila proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Structural and functional homology with its mammalian counterpart.
A protein with an apparent mass of 36 kDa was purified from Drosophila melanogaster embryos using a protocol developed for the purification of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) from human 293 cells. The Drosophila protein comigrated with human PCNA on one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and cross-reacted with monoclonal anti-rabbit PCNA antibodies. NH2-terminal am...
متن کاملStructural and functional studies of complement inhibitor C4b-binding protein.
C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is a potent inhibitor of the classical pathway of the complement system. This large plasma glycoprotein consists of seven identical alpha-chains and a unique beta-chain held together by disulphide bridges. Both types of subunits are composed almost exclusively of complement control protein domains (CCPs). Using homology-based computer modelling and mutagenesis of reco...
متن کامل3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1): structural and functional homology with the Drosophila DSTPK61 kinase
BACKGROUND The activation of protein kinase B (PKB, also known as c-Akt) is stimulated by insulin or growth factors and results from its phosphorylation at Thr308 and Ser473. We recently identified a protein kinase, termed PDK1, that phosphorylates PKB at Thr308 only in the presence of lipid vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (Ptdlns(3,4,5)P3) or phosphatidylinositol 3...
متن کاملPartial characterization of human complement factor H by protein and cDNA sequencing: homology with other complement and non-complement proteins.
Factor H, a control protein of the human complement system, is closely related in functional activity to two other complement control proteins, C4b-binding protein (C4bp) and complement receptor type 1 (CR1). C4bp is known to have an unusual primary structure consisting of eight homologous units each about 60 amino acids long. Such units also occur in the N-terminal regions of the complement pr...
