Protein Tyrosine Kinase Activity

Extracts of bakers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) contain protein-tyrosine kinase activity that can be detected with a synthetic Glu-Tyr copolymer as substrate (G. Schieven, J. Thorner, and G.S. Martin, Science 231:390-393, 1986). By using this assay in conjunction with ion-exchange and affinity chromatography, a soluble tyrosine kinase activity was purified over 8,000-fold from yeast extracts. The purified activity did not utilize typical substrates for mammalian protein-tyrosine kinases (enolase, casein, and histones). The level of tyrosine kinase activity at all steps of each preparation correlated with the content of a 40-kDa protein (p40). Upon incubation of the most highly purified fractions with Mn-ATP or Mg-ATP, p40 was the only protein phosphorylated on tyrosine. Immunoblotting of purified p40 or total yeast extracts with antiphosphotyrosine antibodies and phosphoamino acid analysis of 32P-labeled yeast proteins fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the 40-kDa protein is normally phosphorylated at tyrosine in vivo. 32P-labeled p40 immunoprecipitated from extracts of metabolically labeled cells by affinity-purified anti-p40 antibodies contained both phosphoserine and phosphotyrosine. The gene encoding p40 (YPK1) was cloned from a yeast genomic library by using oligonucleotide probes designed on the basis of the sequence of purified peptides. As deduced from the nucleotide sequence of YPK1, p40 is homologous to known protein kinases, with features that resemble known protein-serine kinases more than known protein-tyrosine kinases. Thus, p40 is a protein kinase which is phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro at both tyrosine and serine residues; it may be a novel type of autophosphorylating tyrosine kinase, a bifunctional (serine/tyrosine-specific) protein kinase, or a serine kinase that is a substrate for an associated tyrosine kinase.

Protein Tyrosine Kinase Activity

The mechanism by which thrombin and prothrombin control neurite retraction was studied in Ad12E1HER10 human neuroepithelial cells. Morphological changes in differentiated cells were apparent within minutes of the addition of very low concentrations of thrombin (3 pM). Higher concentrations (2 nM) of prothrombin were required to elicit a similar response. Doses of thrombin and prothrombin sufficient to cause neurite retraction stimulated protein tyrosine kinase activity. Protein tyrosine kinase activation also correlated positively with thrombin- and prothrombin-induced phosphoinositide 3-kinase activation and InsP6 dephosphorylation. However, thrombin-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization only occurred at concentrations in excess of those needed to induce retraction. No fluctuations in Ins(1,4,5)P3 were detected after stimulation with prothrombin, and no rapid synchronized release of Ca2+ was observed, even at very high concentrations. Prothrombin did, however, cause small oscillations in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, similar to those produced by low concentrations of thrombin, after approximately 30 min. We conclude that prothrombin- and thrombin-induced neurite retractions are not dependent on PtdIns(4,5)P2 and Ca2+ mobilization, but are more probably mediated through an effector mechanism involving protein tyrosine kinase activation. No intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, protein tyrosine kinase activity or neurite retraction was observed after treatment of cells with proteolytically inactive mutant thrombin (S205-->A). Prothrombin-mediated intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and neurite retraction were inhibited by hirudin, which was shown to interact with thrombin but not prothrombin. It is concluded that cleavage of prothrombin to thrombin is a necessary prerequisite for biological activity on differentiated Ad12E1HER10 cells and that differences in agonist concentration are capable of coupling the thrombin receptor to different pathways within the cell.

Protein Tyrosine Kinase Activity

A miniature tyrosinase-based electrochemical sensing platform for label-free detection of protein tyrosine kinase activity was developed in this study. The developed miniature sensing platform can detect the substrate peptides for tyrosine kinases, such as c-Src, Hck and Her2, in a low sample volume (1–2 μL). The developed sensing platform exhibited a high reproducibility for repetitive measurement with an RSD (relative standard deviation) of 6.6%. The developed sensing platform can detect the Hck and Her2 in a linear range of 1–200 U/mL with the detection limit of 1 U/mL. The sensing platform was also effective in assessing the specificity and efficacies of the inhibitors for protein tyrosine kinases. This is demonstrated by the detection of significant inhibition of Hck (~88.1%, but not Her2) by the Src inhibitor 1, an inhibitor for Src family kinases, as well as the significant inhibition of Her2 (~91%, but not Hck) by CP-724714 through the platform. These results suggest the potential of the developed miniature sensing platform as an effective tool for detecting different protein tyrosine kinase activity and for accessing the inhibitory effect of various inhibitors to these kinases.
