Characterization of yeast pyruvate kinase 1 as a protein kinase A substrate, and specificity of the phosphorylation site sequence in the whole protein.
Pyk1 (pyruvate kinase 1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was characterized as a substrate for PKA (protein kinase A) from bovine heart and yeast. By designing Pyk1 synthetic peptides containing potential PKA sequence targets (Ser22, Thr94 and Thr478) we determined that the peptide S22 was a substrate for PKA in vitro, with a K(sp)* (specificity constant) 10-fold and 3-fold higher than Kemptide fo...
متن کاملThe Role of Highly Conserved Tryptophan in the Sixth Conserved Region at Substrate Specificity of α- amylase
Early in this study, an α-Amylase from Bacillus megaterium WHO (BMW) was isolated from hot springs of Ramsar (North of Iran), and its gene was cloned in E.coli. Based on its conserved sequence regions and substrate specificity, it was classified as intermediary group enzymes with the specificity of oligo-1,6-glucosidase and neopullulanase subfamilies. In the sixth conserved re...
متن کاملTruncation of MalF results in lactose transport via the maltose transport system of Escherichia coli.
The active accumulation of maltose and maltodextrins by Escherichia coli is dependent on the maltose transport system. Several lines of evidence suggest that the substrate specificity of the system is not only determined by the periplasmic maltose-binding protein but that a further level of substrate specificity is contributed by the inner membrane integral membrane components of the system, Ma...
متن کاملIdentification of new JNK substrate using ATP pocket mutant JNK and a corresponding ATP analogue.
Modification of the ATP pocket on protein kinases allows selective use of an ATP analogue that exhibits high affinity for the altered kinases. Using this approach, we altered the ATP-binding site on JNK and identified N(6)-(2-phenythyl)-ATP, a modified form of ATP that exhibits high specificity and affinity for the modified, but not the wild type form, of JNK. Using modified JNK and its ATP ana...
متن کاملAlteration of Substrate Specificity and Optimum pH of Sarcosine Oxidase by Random and Site-Directed Mutagenesis.
The sarcosine oxidase gene was randomly mutated, and F103V, which showed altered specificity, was screened with the plate assay. Five different mutants at position 103 were also constructed. Each mutant exhibited a rather striking change in substrate specificity, except for F103W. The optimum pH was also shifted, depending on the substrate.
