چکیده

Tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase (TPST), responsible for the sulfation of a variety of secretory and membrane proteins, has been identified and characterized in submandibular salivary glands (William et al. Arch Biochem Biophys 1997; 338: 90-96). In the present study we demonstrate the sulfation of a salivary secretory protein, statherin, by the tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase present in human saliva. Optimum statherin sulfation was observed at pH 6.5 and at 20 mm MnCl(2). Increase in the level of total sulfation was observed with increasing statherin concentration. The K(m)value of tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase for statherin was 40 microM. Analysis of the sulfated statherin product on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography revealed (35)S-labelling of a 5 kDa statherin. Further analysis of the sulfated statherin revealed the sulfation on tyrosyl residue. This study is the first report demonstrating tyrosine sulfation of a salivary secretory protein. The implications of this sulfation of statherin in hydroxyapatite binding and Actinomyces viscosus interactions are discussed.

Complete covalent structure of statherin, a tyrosine-rich acidic peptide which inhibits calcium phosphate precipitation from human parotid saliva.

The complete amino acid sequence of human salivary statherin, a peptide which strongly inhibits precipitation from supersaturated calcium phosphate solutions, and therefore stabilizes supersaturated saliva, has been determined. The NH2-terminal half of this Mr=5380 (43 amino acids) polypeptide was determined by automated Edman degradations (liquid phase) on native statherin. The peptide was dig...

Analysis of the substrate specificity of tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase using synthetic peptides.

Tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase (TPST) catalyzes the sulfation of proteins at tyrosine residues. We have analyzed the substrate specificity of TPST from bovine adrenal medulla with a novel assay, using synthetic peptides as substrates. The peptides were modeled after the known, or putative, tyrosine sulfation sites of the cholecystokinin precursor, chromogranin B (secretogranin I) and vitronect...

Expression, tyrosine sulfation, and secretion of yolk protein 2 of Drosophila melanogaster in mouse fibroblasts.

Tyrosine sulfation is a post-translational modification in the trans Golgi that has been found in all animal species studied. In the preceding paper (Baeuerle, P. A., Lottspeich, F., and Huttner, W. B. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 14925-14929), we have identified the site of tyrosine sulfation in an insect secretory protein, yolk protein 2 (YP2) of Drosophila melanogaster. In the present report, ...

Tyrosine sulfation is prevalent in human chemokine receptors important in lung disease.

Post-translational sulfation of tyrosines affects the affinity and binding of at least some chemokine receptors to their ligand(s) and has been hypothesized to be a feature in all chemokine receptors. This binding initiates downstream signaling cascades. By this mechanism, tyrosine sulfation can influence the cells involved in acute and chronic events of cellular immunity. These events include ...
