Expression, purification, characterization, and deletion mutations of phosphorylase kinase ? subunit: identification of an inhibitory domain in the ? subunit

Abstract: A catalytic fragment, gamma 1-298, derived from limited chymotryptic digestion of phosphorylase b kinase (Harris, W.R. et al., J. Biol. Chem., 265: 11740-11745, 1990), is reported to have about six-fold greater specific activity than does the gamma subunit-calmodulin complex. To test whether there is an inhibitory domain located outside the catalytic core of the gamma subunit, full-length wild-type and seven truncated forms of gamma were expressed in E. coli. Recombinant proteins accumulate in the inclusion bo… Show more

“…It is further implied by these data that there is close integration in the expression of the catalytic and regulatory subunits of phosphorylase kinase, so that free γ subunit does not arise. Free γ subunit is highly active [5,53]. If it were to arise in the absence of the regulatory subunits it would result in the rapid phosphorylation of phosphorylase and lead to unregulated and rapid glycogenolysis.…”

“…Although there is not direct evidence that this latter region of the g subunit interacts with the catalytic cleft so as to alter its activity, Owen et al (1995) have pointed out that the I-helix does interact with residues 134 to 138 of the E-helix and that Phe286 and Phe287, which are located in the short helix just C-terminal to the I-helix and are also within the epitope-containing region for the anti-g mAb, help to maintain structure in this region of the molecule through buried side-chain interactions that closely mimic those of the corresponding residues (Trp296 and Phe297) in protein kinase A. They further pointed out that, in a study by Huang et al (1993), truncation of the g subunit at residue 276, at the immediate boundary of the epitope-containing region 277-290, resulted in a decrease in activity to 1/25th that of the catalytic domain truncated at residue 300, suggesting a potential role in the expression of catalytic activity for some of the residues within the stretch from 277 to 300. On the other hand, in assays with full-length isolated g subunit or the gd complex, we did not detect activation by the Fab'-SH fragment of the anti-g mAb (data not shown), which would seem to be more consistent with indirect coupling than direct.…”

“…Protein was purified via Cu metal affinity, Q Sepharose, and 5′‐AMP Sepharose chromatography. The purified GP b was incubated with phosphorylase kinase γ subunit 1–30023 at 5 μg/mg GP in the presence of 2.5 mM ATP and 5 mM MgCl 2 . The phosphorylated GP a sample was loaded onto a Superdex 200 column equilibrated with 50 mM B‐glycerophosphate, 100 mM NaCl, 0.2 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, pH 7.5.…”
