Continuous assay of protein tyrosine phosphatases based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer.

چکیده
An assay method that continuously measures the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-catalyzed dephosphorylation reaction based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was developed as an improvement of our previously reported discontinuous version [M. Nishikata, K. Suzuki, Y. Yoshimura, Y. Deyama, A. Matsumoto, Biochem. J. 343 (1999) 385-391]. The assay uses oligopeptide substrates that contain (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl (Mca) group as a fluorescence donor and 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) group as a fluorescence acceptor, in addition to a phosphotyrosine residue located between these two groups. In the assay, a PTP solution is added to a buffer solution containing a FRET substrate and chymotrypsin. The PTP-catalyzed dephosphorylation of the substrate and subsequent chymotryptic cleavage of the dephosphorylated substrate results in a disruption of FRET, thereby increasing Mca fluorescence. In this study, we used FRET substrates that are much more susceptible to chymotryptic cleavage after dephosphorylation than the substrate used in our discontinuous assay, thus enabling the continuous assay without significant PTP inactivation by chymotrypsin. The rate of fluorescence increase strictly reflected the rate of dephosphorylation at appropriate chymotrypsin concentrations. Since the continuous assay allows the measurement of initial rate of dephosphorylation reaction, kinetic parameters for the dephosphorylation reactions of FRET substrates by Yersinia, T-cell and LAR PTPs were determined. The continuous assay was compatible with the measurement of very low PTP activity in a crude enzyme preparation and was comparable in sensitivity to assays that use radiolabeled substrates.

Real-time imaging elucidates the role of H2O2 in regulating kinetics of epidermal growth factor-induced and Src-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation signaling.
Reversible oxidation is emerging as an important regulatory mechanism in protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Generation of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), upon growth factor stimulation, is hypothesized to inhibit activity of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). This ensures that protein tyrosine kinases can elevate the steady-state level of protein tyrosine phosphorylation, which then allows prop...

The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) is one of the principal hub proteins that transmit growth signals from upstream oncogene products including Ras and BRaf to downstream effector proteins. However, there are both reports supporting and refuting the increase in ERK activity in cancer tissues expressing the active Ras and BRaf proteins. We considered that the cell density might accou...

BACKGROUND Variants of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) with different colors would be very useful for simultaneous comparisons of multiple protein fates, developmental lineages and gene expression levels. The simplest way to shift the emission color of GFP is to substitute histidine or tryptophan for the tyrosine in the chromophore, but such blue-shifted point mutants are only dimly fluores...

A new homogeneous competitive assay of ligand affinities was proposed based on quenching the fluorescence of tryptophan/tyrosine residues in a protein via Főrster-resonance-energy-transfer using a fluorescent reference ligand as the acceptor. Under excitation around 280 nm, the fluorescence of a protein or a bound acceptor was monitored upon competitive binding against a nonfluorescent candidat...
