Protein (enzyme) regulation
- Protein synthesis / gene regulation
- Zymogen activation (targeted proteolysis)
- Allosteric regulation (feedback inhibition)
- Covalent modificaiton
- Cellular compartmentalization
- Protein-Protein interactions
- protein degradation
Six steps to control eukaryotic gene expression
- Transcriptional control
- RNA processing
- RNA transport
- Translational control
- mRNA degradation
- Protein processing (activity)
Phosphorylation
- on Ser, Thr, His, Asp or Tyr residues
Phosphorylation is used to:
- reversibly regulation protein function via conformational changes due to charges rather than size
- enable binding events in signal transduction
- approx. 33-50% of all proteins are phosphorylated at a given time
Phosphorylation regulates
major pathways of replication, transcription, translation, metabolic pathways, DNA repair
Most kinases require….
some type of activating event to potential their kinase activity (ex. allosteric activation)
Phosphorylation in mammalian cells
on Ser, Thr or Tyr residues
reasonably stable
charge of phosphoryl group is about 1.7
Phosphorylation in prokaryotic ells
on Ser, Thr, Asp or His residues
Protein kinases
phosphorylated using ATP as the donor
protein phosphatases
dephosphorylate, not reverse of phosphorylation
product is inorganic phosphate
Protein kinases/phosphatases recognize…
consensus sequences around the phosphorylation target site
ex. SQ/TQ context; recognized and targeted by two cell cycle checkpoint kinases, ATM + ATR
Phosphorylation effects on proteins
- activate or inhibit enzyme activity
- potentiate or attenuate protein-protein interactions
- affect cellular localization
- increase or decrease rate of protein degradation
- affect interactions with metabolites, substrates or regulatory molecules
Dynamic Human kinome
540 known and characterized kinases
divided into 8 separate groups on basis of sequence and structure
includes Ser/Thr and Tyr kinase families
linked to 670 known human diseases
Phosphorylation of mammalian pyruvate dehydrogenase
PD phsophatase: activates PD
PD kinase: inactivates PD (allosterically regulated)
Pyruvates + NAD+ –(PD)—> Acetyl-CoA + NADH
+ADP, Ca2+
- NADH, Acetyl-CoA
2-component signaling Prokaryotes
Sensor Histidine kinase (component 1)
response receiver/regulator (comp 2) that is always phosphoaspartate
Component 1
Sensor Histidine kinase
direct phosphoryl transfer
Component 2
response receiver / regulator that is always phosphoaspartate
chemical hydrolysis ends signal
Autophosphorylation
most kinases can phosphorylate themselves
- Auto-P can be activating or inactivating
- generally believed to be one molecule phosphorylating another molecule rather than phosphorylating itself
ATM dimer auto-P
causes its dissociation and activation as a kinase
kinases will phosphorylate other kinases
Kinase cascades
- amplify signals
- may be linear or branched
- may be activating or inhibiting or both
- can link tyrosine kinases to serine/threonine kinases
- can move signals with a cell
Protein Acetylation
Donor: acetyl-CoA
Acceptor: commonly a lysine
Protein acetyl transferase: acetylates proteins
Protein deacetylase: deacetylates proteins
Acetylation and deacetylation of proteins occur as regulatory events
protein acetyl transferase
acetylates proteins
protein deacetylase
deacetylates proteins
Effects of protein acetylation
effects on protein strucutre-function
- inhibition of catalytic activity
- enhancement of catalytic activity
- alteration of substrate specificity
- enhancement of protein degradation
- promotino of protein-protein interactions
- enhancement of cytoplasmic localization
Acetylation of liver metabolic events
