Kuznetsov, Doctor of Philosophy Utah State University, 2013 Major Professor: Alvan C. Hengge Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry PTPs represent a large family of enzymes responsible for the intracellular dephosphorylation. Together with protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), PTPs control the level of protein phosphorylation which modulates numerous aspects of cell life. VHZ, a recently discovered PTP, expresses in most fetal tissues and is associated with several types of cancer. It was originally classified as a dual specificity phosphatase (DUSP23) and named after the prototypical member as VH1 related protein member Z. Our preliminary screening assays of VHZ performed with 360 phosphopeptides have revealed a number of phosphotyrosine containing substrates, but no activity toward phosphothreonine or phosphoserine substrates, thus strongly suggesting that this enzyme is not related to DUSPs. We solved a crystal structure to 1.1 Å resolution, which, together with sequence analysis showed that VHZ is more related to classical PTPs rather than DUSPs. The crystal structure revealed an unusual metavanadate (VO3) ion in the iv active site of VHZ which has never been observed in the aqueous environment. Its appearance in our crystal structure, together with computational studies, allowed us to propose a mechanism by which PTPs can enzymatically interconvert different non- inhibiting vanadate species dominating at physiological pH to generate the inhibiting metavanadate ion observed in our structure. We also evaluated VHZ catalytic properties by several techniques including steady-state and pre-steady-state kinetics, kinetic isotope effects, kinetic inhibition studies combined with site-directed VHZ modification, and computer modeling. We found that the catalytic activity of VHZ was significantly underestimated by previous researchers. Unlike any other PTP, VHZ has evolved with two general acids in the active site – a phenomenon that was expedited by two substrate binding orientations. Finally, we show that VHZ is capable of performing hydrolysis as well as alcoholysis of its phosphate monoester substrates. We were able to identify a single mutation in the area of the active site responsible for this unusual phosphotransferase behavior. Considering that the level of intracellular phosphorylation affects a number of normal and pathological physiological processes, our finding may explain the relation of VHZ to several types of cancer and justify this enzyme as a promising drugable target. (219 pages) v PUBLIC ABSTRACT Structural and Functional Characterization of the LDP3 (VHZ) Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase by Vyacheslav I. Kuznetsov Utah State University, 2013 Protein phosphorylation is as an important regulatory mechanism that controls a large number of physiologically important cellular processes. Proteins are phosphorylated on aliphatic (serine and threonine) as well aromatic (histidine and tyrosine) residues predominantly located on sterically accessible loops. Phosphorylation affects three- dimensional structures of proteins resulting in conformational changes which activate or deactivate enzymatic functions. Because of the ability of protein phosphorylation to modulate a multitude of diverse cellular processes, it became an appealing and promising target for drug therapy. Attachment of phosphate is accomplished by kinases, whereas the removal of the phosphoryl group is performed by protein phosphatases. Traditionally, protein kinases have been studied more intensely than protein phosphatases due to the earlier belief that they confer fine regulation to protein phosphorylation, whereas protein phosphatases act to nonspecifically remove phosphate groups. In recent years the protein phosphatases were subjected to thorough analysis to reveal a number of diverse properties which formed the basis for phosphatase classification. The family of protein tyrosine phosphatses (PTPs) represents the largest group of protein phosphatases known today. We focused our study on the 150 amino acids VHZ phosphatase, which was originally classified as a dual-specificity enzyme which can dephosphorylate aliphatic (phospho serine, phospho threonine) and aromatic (phospho tyrosine) residues. We solved a crystal structure of VHZ refined to 1.1 Å resolution and performed an extensive structural, biological and kinetic analysis which revealed that this enzyme is not a dual specificity phosphatase. Activity screening with 360 biologically relevant peptides indicated strict phospho-tyrosine specificity and provided important information about its physiological substrates. Mechanistic studies using steady-state and pre-steady state kinetics, as well as inhibition studies and kinetic isotope effects (KIE) explain the significantly reduced catalytic parameters of VHZ, and contribute to our understanding of the PTP catalytic mechanism in general. vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to thank my major professor, Dr. Alvan C.

Bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) is a 124-residue enzyme that contains four interweaving disulfide bonds (Cys26-Cys84, Cys40-Cys95, Cys58-CysllO, and Cys65-Cys72) and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA. The contribution of each disulfide bond to the confonnational stability and catalytic activity of RNase A was detennined using variants in which each cystine was replaced independently with a pair of alanine residues. Of the four disulfide bonds, the Cys40-Cys95 and Cys65-Cys72 cross-links are the least important to confonnational stability. Removing these disulfide bonds leads to RNase A variants that have Tm values below that of the wild-type enzyme but above physiological temperature. Unlike wild-type RNase A. G88R RNase A is toxic to cancer cells. To investigate the relationship between conformational stability and cytotoxicity, the C40AlC95A and C65A1C72A variants were made in the G88R background.

DAHLQUIST, AND 0. HAYES GRIFFITH Institute of Molecular Biology and Department of Chemistry, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403 (RECEIVEDDecember 4, 1996: ACCEPTEDMay 19, 1997) Abstract Two active site histidine residues have been implicated in the catalysis of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). In this report, we present the first study of the pK,, values of histidines of a PI-PLC. All six histidines of Bacillus cereus PI-PLC were studied by 2D NMR spectroscopy and site-directed mutagenesis. The protein was selec- tively labeled with '3C"-histidine. A series of 'H-I3C HSQC NMR spectra were acquired over a pH range of 4.0-9.0. Five of the six histidines have been individually substituted with alanine to aid the resonance assignments in the NMR spectra. Overall, the remaining histidines in the mutants show little chemical shift changes in the 'H-"C HSQC spectra, indicating that the alanine substitution has no effect on the tertiary structure of the protein. H32A and H82A mutants are inactive enzymes, while H92A and H61A are fully active, and H81A retains about 15% of the wild-type activity. The active site histidines, His32 and His82, display pK,, values of 7.6 and 6.9, respectively. His92 and His227 exhibit pK, values of 5.4 and 6.9.

DILL Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of California, San Francisco, California94143-1204 (RECEIVEDJanuary 6, 1993; REVISEDMANUSCRIPT RECEIVED February 18, 1993) Abstract Protein structures come in families. Are families “closely knit” or “loosely knit” entities? We describe a mea- sure of relatedness among polymer conformations. Based on weighted distance maps, this measure differs from existing measures mainly in two respects: (1) it is computationally fast, and (2) it can compare any two proteins, regardless of their relative chain lengths or degree of similarity. It does not require finding relative alignments. The measure is used here to determine the dissimilarities between all 12,403 possible pairs of 158 diverse protein structures from the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (PDB). Combined with minimal spanning trees and hier- archical clustering methods,this measure is used to define structural families. It is also useful for rapidly searching a dataset of protein structures for specific substructural motifs.By using an analogy to distributions of Euclid- ean distances, we find that protein families are not tightly knit entities.

PTEN gene is considered one of the most mutated tumor suppressor genes in human cancer, and it’s likely to become the first one in the near future. Since 1997, its involvement in tumor suppression has smoothly increased, up to the current importance. Germline mutations of PTEN cause the PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS), which include the past-called Cowden, Bannayan- Riley-Ruvalcaba, Proteus, Proteus-like, and Lhermitte-Duclos syndromes. Somatic mutations of PTEN have been observed in glioblastoma, prostate cancer, and brest cancer cell lines, quoting only the first tissues where the involvement has been proven. The negative regulation of cell interactions with the extracellular matrix could be the way PTEN phosphatase acts as a tumor suppressor. PTEN gene plays an essential role in human development. A recent model sees PTEN function as a stepwise gradation, which can be impaired not only by heterozygous mutations and homozygous losses, but also by other molecular mechanisms, such as transcriptional regression, epigenetic silencing, regulation by microRNAs, posttranslational modification, and aberrant localization.

Several cellular and developmental events, e.g., plant growth regulator (PGR) mediated signaling pathways are regulated by reversible phosphorylation of vesicle traffic proteins. Reviewing present knowledge on the relevant role of PP2A is timely. We discuss three aspects: (1) PP2A regulates microtubule-mediated vesicle delivery during cell plate assembly. PP2A dephosphorylates members of the microtubule associated protein family MAP65, promoting their binding to microtubules. Regulation of phosphatase activity leads to changes in microtubule organization, which affects vesicle traffic towards cell plate and vesicle fusion to build the new cell wall between dividing cells. (2) PP2A-mediated inhibition of target of rapamycin complex (TORC) dependent signaling pathways contributes to autophagy and this has possible connections to the brassinosteroid signaling pathway. (3) Transcytosis of vesicles transporting PIN auxin efflux carriers. PP2A regulates vesicle localization and recycling of PINs related to GNOM (a GTP–GDP exchange factor) mediated pathways. The proper intracellular traffic of PINs is essential for auxin distribution in the plant body, thus in whole Citation: Máthé, C.; M-Hamvas, M.; plant development.
