چکیده

The mammalian homologue of the yeast cdc2 gene encodes a 34-kilodalton serine/threonine kinase that is a subunit of M phase-promoting factor. Recent studies have shown that p34cdc2 is also a major tyrosine-phosphorylated protein in HeLa cells and that its phosphotyrosine content is cell cycle regulated and related to its kinase activity. Here, we show that cdc2 is physically associated with and phosphorylated in vitro by a highly specific tyrosine kinase. Tyrosine phosphorylation of cdc2 in vitro occurs at tyrosine 15, the same site that is phosphorylated in vivo. The association between the two kinases takes place in the cytosolic compartment and involves cyclin B-associated cdc2. Evidence is presented that a substantial fraction of cytosolic cdc2 is hypophosphorylated, whereas nuclear cdc2 is hyperphosphorylated. Finally, we show that the tyrosine kinase associated with cdc2 may be a 67-kilodalton protein and is distinct from src, abl, fms, and other previously reported tyrosine kinases.

Peroxynitrite disables the tyrosine phosphorylation regulatory mechanism: Lymphocyte-specific tyrosine kinase fails to phosphorylate nitrated cdc2(6-20)NH2 peptide.

To determine if nitration of tyrosine residues by peroxynitrite (PN), which can be generated endogenously, can disrupt the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in proteins involved in cell signaling networks, we studied the effect of PN-promoted nitration of tyrosine residues in a pentadecameric peptide, cdc2(6-20)NH2, on the ability of the peptide to be phosphorylated. cdc2(6-20)NH2 correspond...

Nuclear signaling induced by ionizing radiation involves colocalization of the activated p56/p53lyn tyrosine kinase with p34cdc2.

The Src-like protein-tyrosine kinase p56/p53lyn associates with cell membranes and transduces signals from activated cell surface receptors. In the present work, cell fractionation and confocal microscopy studies demonstrate expression of Lyn in the nucleus. We also demonstrate that exposure of intact cells to ionizing radiation is associated with selective activation of nuclear Lyn. Similar fi...

Cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation of the 77 kDa echinoderm microtubule-associated protein (EMAP) in vivo and association with the p34cdc2 kinase.

The most abundant microtubule-associated protein in sea urchin eggs and embryos is the 77 kDa echinoderm microtubule-associated protein (EMAP). EMAP localizes to the mitotic spindle as well as the interphase microtubule array and is a likely target for a cell cycle-activated kinase. To determine if EMAP is phosphorylated in vivo, sea urchin eggs and embryos were metabolically labeled with 32PO4...

A synthetic peptide derived from p34cdc2 is a specific and efficient substrate of src-family tyrosine kinases.

A peptide derived from p34cdc2, cdc2(6-20)NH2 with the amino acid sequence of KVEKIGEGTYGVVYK-amide, was found to be a specific and efficient substrate for a pp60c-src-related protein tyrosine kinase from bovine spleen (STK). Glu-12 and Thr-14 were identified to be substrate specificity determinants in this peptide (Cheng, H.-C., Litwin, C. M. E., Hwang, D. M., and Wang, J. H. (1991) J. Biol. C...

Purification of a 15-kDa cdk4- and cdk5-binding protein.

Yeasts p13suc1/p18CKS and their human homologues, p9CKShs1/p9CKShs2, strongly interact with p34cdc2 and p34cdk2. While attempting to purify the starfish oocyte p13suc1 homologue, we discovered a 15-kDa protein cross-reactive with anti-p9CKShs2/anti-p13suc1 antibodies. p15cdk-BP-Sepharose binds an anti-PSTAIRE cross-reactive protein of 33 kDa when loaded with starfish oocyte extracts. The p15cdk...
