Protein specific N-glycosylation of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 in B16 mouse melanoma cells.
Tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) are two melanogenic enzymes that regulate melanin biosynthesis. Both are glycoproteins and belong to the TRP-1 gene family. They share a significant level of sequence similarity in several regions, including the catalytic domain and the potential N-glycosylation sites. We have recently shown that inhibition of the early steps of N-glycan proce...
متن کاملTyrosinase maturation and oligomerization in the endoplasmic reticulum require a melanocyte-specific factor.
Tyrosinase is a glycoprotein responsible for the synthesis of melanin in melanocytes. A large number of mutations have been identified in tyrosinase, with many leading to its misfolding, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention, and degradation. Here we describe the folding and maturation of human tyrosinase (TYR) using an in vitro translation system coupled with ER-derived microsomes or with semip...
متن کاملTyrosinase Inhibitors from Anise Oil
Anisaldehyde characterized in the seeds of Pimpinella anisum L. (Umbelliferae), also known as aniseed, was found to inhibit the oxidation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) by mushroom tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) with an ID50 of 43 μg/mL (0.32 mM). The inhibition kinetics analyzed by a Lineweaver-Burk plot established anisaldehyde to be a noncompetitive inhibitor for this oxidation. On the ...
متن کاملThe cotranslational maturation of the type I membrane glycoprotein tyrosinase: the heat shock protein 70 system hands off to the lectin-based chaperone system.
The maturation of eukaryotic secretory cargo initiates cotranslationally and cotranslocationally as the polypeptide chain emerges into the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Here, we characterized the cotranslational maturation pathway for the human type I membrane glycoprotein tyrosinase. To recapitulate the cotranslational events, including glycosylation, signal sequence cleavage, chaperone binding...
متن کاملTyrosinase processing and intracellular trafficking is disrupted in mouse primary melanocytes carrying the underwhite (uw) mutation. A model for oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) type 4.
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) type 4 is a newly identified human autosomal recessive hypopigmentary disorder that disrupts pigmentation in the skin, hair and eyes. Three other forms of OCA have been previously characterized, each resulting from the aberrant processing and/or sorting of tyrosinase, the enzyme critical to pigment production in mammals. The disruption of tyrosinase trafficking occ...
