摘要: Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK) 1 and 2 mutants of each were expressed in bacteria with a hexahistidine tag purified using nickel-chelate chromatography. Basal activity wild type ERK2 was approximately nmol/min/mg. Self-catalyzed phosphorylation occurred vitro on the major physiological site tyrosine an intramolecular reaction. Rabbit muscle ERK activator activated 500-1000-fold up to specific (approximately mumol/min/mg) approximating that ERK1 from stimulated cells (Boulton, T.G., Gregory, J.S., Cobb, M.H. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 278-286). could also be by same extent. Mutants lacking autophosphorylated at greatly reduced rate no longer highly kinase. threonine or enhanced rate, but kinase these depended residue used replace threonine. Replacement glutamate rendered capable being activator, while replacement alanine did not. Thus, carboxyl group can provide least some features introduced phosphothreonine ERKs.
