Bovine inositol monophosphatase. Modification, identification and mutagenesis of reactive cysteine residues.

چکیده
1. Bovine inositol monophosphatase reacts with thiol reagents such as 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and iodoacetic acid (IAA). 2. Modification by NEM results in nearly total loss of enzyme activity, whereas modification by IAA causes a slight increase in activity. 3. The loss of activity caused by NEM can be prevented by the inclusion of Ins1P, or better Ins1P and LiCl in the reaction mixture. 4. Two equivalents of p-nitrothiobenzoate (NTB2-) are released from the native enzyme on reaction with DTNB, and six equivalents of NTB2- are released from the SDS-denatured enzyme, suggesting that none of the six cysteine residues per molecule of enzyme is involved in intra- or inter-molecular disulphide bridges. 5. Both NEM and IAA react with two cysteine residues (residues 141 and 184 in the sequence) in a mutually exclusive manner. 6. NEM also reacts stoichiometrically with residue 218. 7. The NEM-induced loss of enzyme activity is accompanied by a 15% decrease in protein fluorescence. 8. A mutant of the enzyme which has an Ala-218 replacement for Cys-218 has full activity and is not sensitive to NEM, showing that the modification of this cysteine by NEM causes inhibition of the native protein by steric effects and that Cys-218 is not essential for activity.

The effect of histidine modification on the activity of myo-inositol monophosphatase from bovine brain.
The pH dependence of myo-inositol monophosphatase may indicate a role for histidine residues in the catalytic mechanism (Ganzhorn, A. J., and Chanal, M.-C. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 6065-6071). This possibility was investigated by chemical modification. At pH 6.0 and 25 degrees C, the enzyme was inactivated by diethylpyrocarbonate in a pseudo-first order reaction with a bimolecular rate constant ...
متن کاملInteraction of 70-kDA heat shock cognate protein with peptides and myo-inositol monophosphatase.
Fluorescence techniques have been used to investigate the interaction of bovine 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein (Hsc 70) with small molecular weight peptides and myo-inositol monophosphatase. The emission properties of Hsc 70 remain invariant upon addition of ATP. The results of steady-state fluorescence indicate that the tryptophan residues of Hsc 70 are exposed to the rapidly relaxing aqueo...

Inositol monophosphatase is a key enzyme of the inositol phosphate second messenger signaling pathway. It is responsible for the provision of inositol required for synthesis of phosphatidylinositol and polyphosphoinositides and has been implicated as the pharmacological target for lithium action in brain. Using oligonucleotide probes based on partial amino acid sequence data for the bovine brai...
متن کاملThe purification and properties of myo-inositol monophosphatase from bovine brain.
1. An inositol monophosphatase was purified to homogeneity from bovine brain. 2. The enzyme is a dimer of subunit Mr 29,000. 3. The enzyme hydrolyses both enantiomers of myo-inositol 1-phosphate and both enantiomers of myo-inositol 4-phosphate, but has no activity towards inositol bisphosphates, inositol trisphosphates or inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. 4. Several non-inositol-containing mo...
متن کاملIdentification of two reactive cysteine residues in the tumor suppressor protein p53 using top-down FTICR mass spectrometry.
The tumor suppressor p53 is a redox-regulated transcription factor involved in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and senescence in response to multiple forms of stress, as well as many other cellular processes such as DNA repair, glycolysis, autophagy, oxidative stress and differentiation. The discovery of cysteine-targeting compounds that cause re-activation of mutant p53 and the death of tumor cel...
