Una forma inusual de enlace lipídico con el péptido CD45
1Department of Pathology, Roger Williams General Hospital, Brown University, Providence, RI 02908.
Resumen
Las proteínas quinasas y las fosfatasas pueden ser miristoiladas. Se encontró que la glicoproteína CD45, una tirosina fosfatasa hematopoyética, incorporaba miristato a través de una inusual unión lipídica, no el palmitato.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Inmunología Inmunología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La miristoilación de proteínas es una modificación post-traduccional que puede influir en la localización y función de las proteínas.
- La glicoproteína CD45 es una tirosina fosfatasa hematopoyética clave involucrada en la señalización de las células inmunes.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la acilación del ácido graso de la glicoproteína CD45.5.
- Para caracterizar la naturaleza de la unión lipídica al CD45.
Principales métodos:
- CD45 fue etiquetado metabólicamente con [3H] miristato y [3H] palmitato.
- El mapeo de péptidos y los tratamientos de glucosidasa se utilizaron para analizar la etiqueta incorporada.
- Se evaluó la resistencia a la metanólisis alcalina leve.
Principales resultados:
- CD45 incorporó [3H] miristato, pero no el [3H] palmitato.
- La etiqueta de miristato no se metabolizó en aminoácidos o sacáridos.
- La etiqueta era resistente a la metanólisis alcalina leve y estaba asociada con ácido graso y esfingosina.
Conclusiones:
- La glicoproteína CD45 se somete a miristoilación a través de un enlace lipídico atípico.
- Esta inusual modificación puede desempeñar un papel en la localización o regulación subcelular de CD45.

Overview
Ligand Binding and Linkage
Allosteric proteins have more than one ligand binding site; the binding of a ligand to any of these sites influences the binding of ligands to the other sites. When a protein is allosteric, its binding sites are called coupled or linked. In the case of enzymes, the site that binds to the substrate is known as the active site and the other site is known as the regulatory site. When a ligand binds to the regulatory site, this leads to conformational changes in the protein that can influence the...
Lipids as Anchors
In the plasma membrane, the lipids forming the bilayer can also act as an anchor to tether proteins to the membrane. The three main types of lipid anchors found in eukaryotes are – prenyl groups, fatty acyl groups, and glycosylphosphatidylinositol or GPI groups. Prenyl and fatty acyl groups act as anchors on the cytosolic surface of the membrane, whereas GPI anchors proteins on the extracellular side.

Phosphoinositides and PIPs
Phosphoinositides are a group of phospholipids containing a glycerol backbone with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate attached to a myoinositol sugar ring. The inositol head group extends into the cytoplasm, where it is modified by adding phosphate groups to form phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs.
Different phosphoinositides are synthesized and recruited on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. The localization of specific phosphoinositides concentrated in separate membrane...

Mechanisms of Membrane Domain Formation
Different physical properties of lipids and proteins allow them to localize and form distinct islands or domains in the membrane. Some membrane domains are formed due to protein-protein interactions, whereas others are formed due to the presence of specific lipids such as sphingolipids and sterols—for example, large proteins, such as bacteriorhodopsin, aggregate and create distinct domains.
Another mechanism for membrane domain formation involves membrane proteins interacting with cytoskeletal...

Immunoglobulin-like Cell Adhesion Molecules
Immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecules or Ig-CAMs are a versatile group of cell surface glycoproteins belonging to the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. Ig-CAMs possess the characteristic immunoglobulin protein domains and other domains such as the fibronectin type III domain. The Ig domains are glycosylated to varying degrees in different Ig-CAMs.
Ig-CAMs exhibit either homophilic binding (to other Ig-CAMs) or heterophilic binding (to other ligands such as integrins). While most Ig-CAMs...
