Recombinant human hyaluronan synthase 3 is phosphorylated in mammalian cells.

چکیده
Hyaluronan is a ubiquitous component of vertebrate extracellular and cell-associated matrices that serves as a key structural component of skin, cartilage, eyes and joints, and plays important roles in dynamic cellular processes, including embryogenesis, inflammation, wound healing and metastasis. Hyaluronan is synthesized by three homologous hyaluronan synthases designated HAS1, HAS2 and HAS3 that differ in their tissue distribution, regulation and enzymatic characteristics. Some progress has been made in characterizing regulation of HAS transcripts and in distinguishing the enzymatic properties of the various HAS isoforms, but essentially nothing is known about their possible regulation by posttranslational modification. Using [32P]P(i) radiolabelling of a recombinant FLAG (DYKDDDDK) epitope-tagged version of human HAS3 expressed in COS-7 cells, we show that HAS3 is serine-phosphorylated and that this phosphorylation can be enhanced by a number of effectors--most significantly by a membrane-permeable analogue of cAMP. By employing a novel FLAG-tagged phosphorylated reference protein derived from EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein), we were able to estimate the stoichiometry of FLAG-HAS3 phosphorylation. It was approx. 0.11 in unstimulated cells and increased to as much as 0.32 in cells stimulated with 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP.

P-130: Designing and Construction of An Appropriate Eukaryotic Expression Vector to Generate Soluble Form of Human Hyaluronidase Type PH20 in Cell Culture Feasible for Application in IVF and ICSI
Background: The hyaluronidases are the enzymes hydrolyze β-1, 4 glycosidic linkage of hyaluronan. Hyaluronan is a polymer consisting of a repeating disaccharide unit found in cumulus ovuforus complex, semen liquid and other tissue. Addition to hydrolyzing the hyaluronan, hyaluronidase can penetrate through the cumulus cells layer that surrounds the oocyte, thus it terms spreading factor. Moreov...
متن کاملMolecular identification of a putative human hyaluronan synthase.
To identify the putative mammalian hyaluronan synthase, we cloned a human cDNA that is related to the Streptococcus hyaluronan synthase (HasA) and the Xenopus developmental protein DG42 which has been shown to have chitin synthase activity. The cDNA, for which we propose the name Has2, encodes a novel protein with a predicted molecular mass of 63.6 kDa. Has2 shows 55% amino acid identity with X...

Background: Human luteinizing hormone (hLH) stimulates steroid biosynthesis of the ovary, triggers ovulation and prepares androgen production of testicular Leydig cells. LH belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones that are heterodimers consisting of a common α-subunit and specific β-subunit. hLH is necessary for clinical and infertility treatment. Recombinant DNA technology provides a use...

Background: Cultivated mammalian cells, because of their capacity for proper protein folding, assembly and post–translational modification, have become the dominant system for production of recombinant proteins in clinical application. Therefore, the quality and efficacy of protein can be superior when expressed in mammalian cells compared to other hosts such as bacteria. Gene reporte...
