  • Title: Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) type V receptor has a TGF-beta-stimulated serine/threonine-specific autophosphorylation activity.

    Abstract:
    The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) type V receptor, a newly identified high molecular weight TGF-beta receptor (M(r) approximately 400,000) has been purified from bovine liver plasma membranes (O'Grady, P., Kuo, M.-D., Baldassare, J. J., Huang, S. S., and Huang, J. S. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 8583-8589). The purified TGF-beta type V receptor underwent autophosphorylation at serine residues when incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of 0.1% beta-mercaptoethanol and 2.5 mM MnCl2. This phosphorylation was stimulated by preincubation with TGF-beta. The preferred exogenous substrate for the Ser/Thr-specific phosphorylation activity of the type V receptor was found to be bovine casein. The TGF-beta type V receptor could be affinity-labeled with 5'-p-[adenine-8-14C]fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine. Polylysine appeared to stimulate the autophosphorylation of the TGF-beta type receptor in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP and the incorporation of 5'-p-[adenine-8-14C]fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine into the TGF-beta type V receptor. The amino acid sequence analysis of the peptide fragments produced by cyanogen bromide cleavage of the purified TGF-beta type V receptor revealed that a peptide, namely CNBr-19, contained an amino acid sequence which shows homology to the putative ATP binding site of the receptors for activin, the Caenorhabditis elegans daf-1 gene product, and TGF-beta type II receptor (Lin, H. Y., Wang, Y.-F., Ng-Eaton, E., Weinberg, R. A., and Lodish, H. F. (1992) Cell 68, 775-785). These results suggest that the TGF-beta type V receptor is a Ser/Thr-specific protein kinase and belongs to the new class of membrane receptors associated with a Ser/Thr-specific protein kinase activity.
