A protein has been purified from human brain that appears to be the human equivalent of bovine 14-3-3 protein. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the protein migrates as a faster major component, termed 14-3-3-2 protein, and a slower minor component, termed 14-3-3-1 protein, which consists of approximately 12% of the total protein. Both 14-3-3-1 and 14-3-3-2 have a native molecular weight of approximately 67,000. 14-3-3-2 appears to have the subunit composition alpha beta; 14-3-3-1 has the composition beta'beta'. Peptide mapping with Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase shows that alpha and beta subunits are unrelated but the beta and beta' subunits show some common peptides. Immunoperoxidase labelling shows that 14-3-3 is localised in neurones in the human cerebral cortex. 14-3-3 shows no enolase, creatine kinase, triose phosphate isomerase, ATPase, cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinase, or purine nucleoside phosphorylase activity. 14-3-3 does not bind calcium and does not appear to be related to calmodulin, calcineurin, tubulin, neurofilament proteins, clathrin-associated proteins, or tropomyosin. The functional significance of this neuronal protein remains obscure.

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is a multifunctional factor that regulates many aspects of cellular processes. TGF-beta signals through a heteromeric complex of type-I and type-II receptors, which both belong to the transmembrane (TM) receptor serine/threonine kinase family. Reported here is the isolation of a subtype of the human TGF-beta receptor type II from a cDNA library using a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant. This yeast mutant has a defect in the expression of the gene encoding inositol-1-phosphate synthase and requires myo-inositol for its growth. The cloned subtype of the TGF-beta receptor type II has a 25-amino-acid insertion relative to the reported receptor type-II sequence. In addition to that encoding the TGF-beta receptor, two more human genes were obtained using the same yeast mutant. They encode the protein phosphatase type 2A regulatory subunit A and a 14-3-3 protein which is known as a regulatory protein for protein kinases. These results clearly indicate that these human genes function in yeast cells. It is also suggested that yeast possesses a signal transduction mechanism resembling the human TGF-beta-mediated signaling pathway.

The diverse forms of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) in vivo result from the association of the catalytic subunit with different regulatory subunits. We recently have described that PP1alpha is a Ras-activated Bad phosphatase that regulates IL-2 deprivation-induced apoptosis. With the yeast two-hybrid system, GST fusion proteins, indirect immunofluorescence, and coimmunoprecipitation, we found that Bcl-2 interacts with PP1alpha and Bad. In contrast, Bad did not interact with 14-3-3 protein. Bcl-2 depletion decreased phosphatase activity and association of PP1alpha to Bad. Bcl-2 contains the RIVAF motif, analogous to the well characterized R/KXV/IXF consensus motif shared by most PP1-interacting proteins. This sequence is involved in the binding of Bcl-2 to PP1alpha. Disruption of Bcl-2/PP1alpha association strongly decreased Bcl-2 and Bad-associated phosphatase activity and formation of the trimolecular complex. These results suggest that Bcl-2 targets PP1alpha to Bad.

In order to identify proteins that interact with Bmh2, a yeast member of the 14-3-3 protein family, we performed a two-hybrid screening using LexA-Bmh2 as bait. We identified Fin1, a novel intermediate filament protein, as the protein that showed the highest degree of interaction. We also identified components of the vesicular transport machinery such as Gic2 and Msb3, proteins involved in transcriptional regulation such as Mbf1, Gcr2 and Reg2, and a variety of other different proteins (Ppt1, Lre1, Rps0A and Ylr177w). We studied the interaction between Bmh2 and Fin1 in more detail and found that Bmh2 only interacted with phosphorylated forms of Fin1. In addition, we showed that Glc7, the catalytic subunit of the protein phosphatase 1 complex, was also able to interact with Fin1.

Cdc25C phosphatase induces mitosis by dephosphorylating and activating Cdc2/cyclin B protein kinase. Phosphorylation of Xenopus Cdc25C at serine 287 creates a binding site for a 14-3-3 protein and restrains activation during interphase. Here, we show that dephosphorylation of S287 is catalysed by protein phosphatase-2A in Xenopus egg extracts. 14-3-3 protein binding to Cdc25C inhibits dephosphorylation of S287, providing a mechanism to maintain phosphorylation of that site during interphase. The rate of dephosphorylation of S287 is not increased in mitotic extracts, indicating that the phosphorylation status of the site is likely to be controlled through modulation of kinases or 14-3-3 binding activity.

In this study we show that Reg1, the regulatory subunit of the Reg1/Glc7 protein phosphatase (PP1) complex, interacts physically with the two yeast members of the 14-3-3 protein family, Bmh1 and Bmh2. By using different fragments of the Reg1 protein we mapped the interaction domain at the N-terminal part of the protein. We also show that Reg1 and yeast 14-3-3 proteins participate actively in the regulation of the glucose-induced degradation of maltose permease (Mal61).

The Cdc25 phosphatase promotes entry into mitosis through the removal of inhibitory phosphorylations on the Cdc2 subunit of the Cdc2/CyclinB complex. During interphase, or after DNA damage, Cdc25 is suppressed by phosphorylation at Ser287 (Xenopus numbering; Ser216 of human Cdc25C) and subsequent binding of the small acidic protein, 14-3-3. As reported recently, at the time of mitotic entry, 14-3-3 protein is removed from Cdc25 and S287 is dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). After the initial activation of Cdc25 and consequent derepression of Cdc2/CyclinB, Cdc25 is further activated through a Cdc2-catalyzed positive feedback loop. Although the existence of such a loop has been appreciated for some time, the molecular mechanism for this activation has not been described. We report here that phosphorylation of S285 by Cdc2 greatly enhances recruitment of PP1 to Cdc25, thereby accelerating S287 dephosphorylation and mitotic entry. Moreover, we show that two other previously reported sites of Cdc2-catalyzed phosphorylation on Cdc25 are required for maximal biological activity of Cdc25, but they do not contribute to PP1 regulation and do not act solely through controlling S287 phosphorylation. Therefore, multiple mechanisms, including enhanced recruitment of PP1, are used to promote full activation of Cdc25 at the time of mitotic entry.

Tobacco DBP1 is the founding member of a novel class of plant transcription factors featuring sequence-specific DNA binding and protein phosphatase activity. To understand the mechanisms underlying the function of this family of transcriptional regulators, we have identified the tobacco 14-3-3 isoform G as the first protein interacting with a DBP factor. 14-3-3 recognition involves the N-terminal region of DBP1, which also supports the DNA binding activity attributed to DBP1. The relevance of this interaction is reinforced by its conservation in Arabidopsis plants, where the closest relative of DBP1 in this species also interacts with a homologous 14-3-3 protein through its N-terminal region. Furthermore, we show that in planta 14-3-3 G is directly involved in regulating DBP1 function by promoting nuclear export and subsequent cytoplasmic retention of DBP1 under conditions that in turn alleviate DBP1-mediated repression of target gene expression.

Whole proteins of the second-generation merozoite of Eimeria tenella were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and western blot using the chicken sera infected artificially with E. tenella. Approximately 640 spots were detected on proteome map of the second-generation merozoite stained by Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 and 85 spots were recognized on western blot map as antigens. Forty four spots of the antigens were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight MS (MALDI-TOF-MS) and MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS. Twenty six proteins of E. tenella and three homologous proteins to other apicomplexan parasites or protozoan were identified using 'Mascot' server. These proteins included lactate dehydrogenase, enolase, 14-3-3 protein, microneme proteins, tubulin beta chain, SERPIN1 protein precursor, large subunit ribosomal protein L23 and surface antigens of E. tenella, heat shock protein (HSP70) of Eimeria acervulina, protein phosphatase type 1 of Toxoplasma gondii and hypothetical protein GSPATT00020155001 of Paramecium tetraurelia. The rest proteins were searched against the E. tenella protein sequence database using 'Mascot in-house' (version 2.1) search engine in automated mode and 11 unknown proteins were identified. After the amino acid sequence of the unknown proteins were searched using BLAST against non-redundant sequence databases (NCBI), surface antigen 12 of E. tenella and six homologous proteins to other apicomplexa parasites were found. They were membrane skeleton protein IMC2A, mitochondrial F1-ATP synthase beta subunit precursor, 3-oxoacyl-acyl-carrier-protein synthase and catalase of T. gondii, Vps26 of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7, and hypothetical protein TRIADDRAFT_60424 of Trichoplax adhaerens. No homologues of 8 spots of the 44 analyzed proteins were found. These proteins enriched the data of immunogenic proteins of the second-generation merozoite of E. tenella.

The kinetochore is a macromolecular complex that controls chromosome segregation and cell cycle progression. When sister kinetochores make bioriented attachments to microtubules from opposite poles, the spindle checkpoint is silenced. Biorientation and the spindle checkpoint are regulated by a balance between the Ipl1/Aurora B protein kinase and the opposing activity of protein phosphatase I (PP1). However, little is known about the regulation of PP1 localization and activity at the kinetochore. Here, we developed a method to purify centromere-bound kinetochores and used quantitative proteomics to identify the Fin1 protein as a PP1 regulatory subunit. The Fin1/PP1 complex is regulated by phosphorylation and 14-3-3 protein binding. When Fin1 is mislocalized, bipolar spindles fail to assemble but the spindle checkpoint is inappropriately silenced due to PP1 activity. These data suggest that Fin1 is a PP1 regulatory subunit whose spatial and temporal activity must be precisely controlled to ensure genomic stability.
