Studies on tissue transglutaminases: interaction of erythrocyte type-2 transglutaminase with GTP.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ca2+ and GTP are the main modulators of type-2 transglutaminases. To study the interaction of the enzyme with GTP, we have employed periodate-oxidized GTP as an affinity-label probe. Dialdehyde GTP bound irreversibly to type-2 transglutaminase in a time-dependent way with 1:1 stoichiometry at complete modification. The reaction took place in the absence, but was more rapid in the presence, of cyanoborohydride. Native GTP prevented incorporation of dialdehyde GTP, and Ca2+ significantly slowed down the reaction rate. The modified enzyme displayed decreased sensitivity to Ca2+, with a sigmoid saturation curve. We conclude that type-2 transglutaminase has a single GTP-binding site, the modification of which by dialdehyde GTP mimics nucleotide binding to the enzyme.

Calmodulin regulates nucleotide hydrolysis activity of tissue transglutaminase.
The interaction of calmodulin with purified guinea pig liver transglutaminase was studied. The nucleotide (ATP and GTP) hydrolysis activity of this tissue transglutaminase was transiently increased and then gradually decreased depending on calmodulin concentration. The peak activation was obtained in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of calmodulin. The effect of calmodulin on the classica...
متن کاملTransglutaminases: multifunctional cross-linking enzymes that stabilize tissues.
Transglutaminases catalyze the posttranslational modification of proteins by transamidation of available glutamine residues. This action results primarily in the formation of epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine cross-links but includes the incorporation of polyamines into suitable protein substrates as well. The covalent isopeptide crosslink is stable and resistant to proteolysis, thereby increasing...
متن کاملThe Diagnostic Value of Serum IgG-Antigliadin, IgA Anti-endomysial and IgA Anti-tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies for Pediatric Celiac Disease
Background and Objective: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, characterized by inflammation, villous atrophy, and crypt hyperplasia of the small bowel mucosa. In this study we considered and compared sensitivity and specificity of serological tests in patients with celiac disease. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study we prospectively recruited children with suspected c...
متن کاملInhibition of transglutaminase by synthetic tyrosine melanin.
Transglutaminases catalyze the cross-linking and amine incorporation of proteins, and are implicated in various biological phenomena. Previously, we found a high molecular mass transglutaminase-inhibitory substance produced by Streptomyces lavendulae Y-200 that appeared to be a melanin substance. Here, we report that synthetic tyrosine melanin inhibited various types of transglutaminases. Tyros...
متن کاملRegulation of human tissue transglutaminase function by magnesium-nucleotide complexes. Identification of distinct binding sites for Mg-GTP and Mg-ATP.
Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) catalyzes a Ca(2+)-dependent transglutaminase (TGase) activity that stabilizes tissues and a GTP hydrolysis activity that regulates cell receptor signaling. The purpose of this study was to examine the true substrates for nucleotide hydrolysis and the effects of these substrates on modulating the dual enzymatic activities of tTG. We found that Mg-GTP and Mg-ATP are...
