Ludeman JP, Stone MJ. The structural role of receptor tyrosine sulfation in chemokine recognition. Br J Pharmacol 2014; 171:1167-79.

Abstract
Tyrosine sulfation is a post-translational modification of secreted and transmembrane proteins, including many GPCRs such as chemokine receptors. Most chemokine receptors contain several potentially sulfated tyrosine residues in their extracellular N-terminal regions, the initial binding site for chemokine ligands. Sulfation of these receptors increases chemokine binding affinity and potency. Although receptor sulfation is heterogeneous, insights into the molecular basis of sulfotyrosine (sTyr) recognition have been obtained using purified, homogeneous sulfopeptides corresponding to the N-termini of chemokine receptors. Receptor sTyr residues bind to a shallow cleft defined by the N-loop and β3-strand elements of cognate chemokines. Tyrosine sulfation enhances the affinity of receptor peptides for cognate chemokines in a manner dependent on the position of sulfation. Moreover, tyrosine sulfation can alter the selectivity of receptor peptides among several cognate chemokines for the same receptor. Finally, binding to receptor sulfopeptides can modulate the oligomerization state of chemokines, thereby influencing the ability of a chemokine to activate its receptor. These results increase the motivation to investigate the structural basis by which tyrosine sulfation modulates chemokine receptor activity and the biological consequences of this functional modulation.

Improved detection of intact tyrosine sulfate-containing peptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in linear negative ion mode. Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2009; 42:174-9. [PMID: 19857600 DOI: 10.1016/j.biocel.2009.10.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2009] [Revised: 09/28/2009] [Accepted: 10/14/2009] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Sulfation of tyrosine residues is a common post-translational modification, but detecting and quantitating this modification poses challenges due to lability of the sulfate group. The goal of our studies was to determine how best to detect and to assess the stoichiometry of this modification using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS). Sulfated and nonsulfated forms of peptides-hirudin(55-65), caerulein, and cholecystokinin octapeptide and phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated pp60-c-src (521-533)-were analyzed using several matrices: sinapinic acid (SA), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DBA), and cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA). Intact sulfated peptides were difficult to detect using positive ion mode; peptides were observed as desulfated ions. Phosphorylated peptide was stable and was detected in positive and negative ion modes. Detection of sulfated peptides improved with: (1) Analysis in negative ion mode, (2) Decreased laser power, (3) Matrix selection: DBA>/=SA>CHCA. In negative ion mode, desorption/ionization of sulfated peptide was equivalent or more efficient than nonsulfated peptide, depending on conditions of analysis. Examination of a tryptic digest of alpha(2)-antiplasmin detected the single site of sulfation in negative ion mode but not in positive ion mode. We conclude that improved detection of sulfated peptides can be achieved in negative ion mode. Dual analysis in positive and negative ion modes serves as a potential means of identifying peptides with labile modifications such as sulfation and distinguishing them from phosphorylation.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine O-sulfation is a post-translational modification mediated by one of two Golgi tyrosylprotein sulfotransferases (TPST1 and TPST2) that catalyze the transfer of sulfate to tyrosine residues in secreted and transmembrane proteins. Tyrosine sulfation plays a role in protein-protein interactions in several well defined systems. Although dozens of tyrosine-sulfated proteins are known, many more are likely to exist and await description. Advancing our understanding of the importance of tyrosine sulfation in biological systems requires the development of new tools for the detection and study of tyrosine-sulfated proteins. We have developed a novel anti-sulfotyrosine monoclonal antibody (called PSG2) that binds with high affinity and exquisite specificity to sulfotyrosine residues in peptides and proteins independently of sequence context. We show that it can detect tyrosine-sulfated proteins in complex biological samples and can be used as a probe to assess the role of tyrosine sulfation in protein function. We also demonstrate the utility of PSG2 in the purification of tyrosine-sulfated proteins from crude tissue samples. Finally, Western blot analysis using PSG2 showed that certain sperm/epididymal proteins are undersulfated in Tpst2(-/-) mice. This indicates that TPST1 and TPST2 have distinct macromolecular substrate specificities and provides clues as to the molecular mechanism of the infertility of Tpst2(-/-) males. PSG2 should be widely applicable for identification of tyrosine-sulfated proteins in other systems and organisms.

Abstract
The number of the complement component C4 genes varies from 2 to 8 in a diploid genome among different human individuals. Three quarters of the C4 genes in Caucasian populations have the endogenous retrovirus, HERV-K(C4), in the ninth intron. The remainder does not. The C4 serum proteins are highly polymorphic and their concentrations vary from 100 to approximately 1000 microg/ml. There are two distinct classes of C4 protein, C4A and C4B, which have diversified to fulfill (a) the opsonization/immunoclearance purposes and (b) the well-known complement function in the killing of microbes by lysis and neutralization, respectively. Many infectious and autoimmune diseases are associated with complete or partial deficiency of C4A and/or C4B. The adverse effects of high C4 gene dosages, however, are just emerging, as the concepts of human C4 genetics are revised and accurate techniques are applied to distinguish partial deficiencies from differential expression caused by unequal C4A and C4B gene dosages and gene sizes. This review attempts to dissect the sophisticated genetics of complement C4A and C4B. The emphases are on the qualitative and quantitative diversities of C4 genotypes and phenotypes. The many allotypic variants and the processed products of human and mouse C4 proteins are described. The modular variation of C4 genes together with the serine/threonine nuclear kinase gene RP, the steroid 21-hydroxylase CYP21, and extracellular matrix protein TNX (RCCX modules) are investigated for the effects on homogenization of C4 protein polymorphisms, and on the unequal genetic crossovers that knocked out the functions of CYP21 and/or TNX. Furthermore, the influence of the endogenous retrovirus HERV-K(C4) on C4 gene expression and the dispersal of HERV-K(C4) family members in the human genome are discussed.

Abstract
The complement anaphylatoxin C3a and its cellular seven-transmembrane segment receptor, C3aR, are implicated in a variety of pathological inflammatory processes. C3aR is a G-protein-coupled receptor with an exceptionally large second extracellular loop of 172 amino acids. Previously reported deletion studies have shown that at least part of this region plays a critical role in binding C3a. Our data now demonstrate that five tyrosines in the second extracellular loop of the C3aR are posttranslationally modified by the addition of sulfate. Blocking sulfation by mutation of tyrosine to phenylalanine at positions 184, 188, 317, and/or 318 does not affect ligand binding or signal transduction. However, when tyrosine 174 is mutated to phenylalanine, binding of native C3a is completely blocked. This variant efficiently mobilizes calcium in response to synthetic C3a agonist peptides, but not to native C3a. This finding is consistent with a two-site model of ligand association typical of many peptide ligand-receptor interactions and identifies sulfotyrosine 174 as the critical C3a docking site. Tyrosine sulfation in the amino-terminal extracellular domain has been shown to be important in several other seven-transmembrane segment receptors. Our data now demonstrate that tyrosine sulfate in other extracellular domains can function for ligand interactions as well.

Abstract
The complement protein C4 is a non-enzymatic component of the C3 and C5 convertases and thus essential for the propagation of the classical complement pathway. The covalent binding of C4 to immunoglobulins and immune complexes (IC) also enhances the solubilization of immune aggregates, and the clearance of IC through complement receptor one (CR1) on erythrocytes. Human C4 is the most polymorphic protein of the complement system. In this review, we summarize the current concepts on the 1-2-3 loci model of C4A and C4B genes in the population, factors affecting the expression levels of C4 transcripts and proteins, and the structural, functional and serological diversities of the C4A and C4B proteins. The diversities and polymorphisms of the mouse homologues Slp and C4 proteins are described and contrasted with their human homologues. The human C4 genes are located in the MHC class III region on chromosome 6. Each human C4 gene consists of 41 exons coding for a 5.4-kb transcript. The long gene is 20.6 kb and the short gene is 14.2 kb. In the Caucasian population 55% of the MHC haplotypes have the 2-locus, C4A-C4B configurations and 45% have an unequal number of C4A and C4B genes. Moreover, three-quarters of C4 genes harbor the 6.4 kb endogenous retrovirus HERV-K(C4) in the intron 9 of the long genes. Duplication of a C4 gene always concurs with its adjacent genes RP, CYP21 and TNX, which together form a genetic unit termed an RCCX module. Monomodular, bimodular and trimodular RCCX structures with 1, 2 and 3 complement C4 genes have frequencies of 17%, 69% and 14%, respectively. Partial deficiencies of C4A and C4B, primarily due to the presence of monomodular haplotypes and homo-expression of C4A proteins from bimodular structures, have a combined frequency of 31.6%. Multiple structural isoforms of each C4A and C4B allotype exist in the circulation because of the imperfect and incomplete proteolytic processing of the precursor protein to form the beta-alpha-gamma structures. Immunofixation experiments of C4A and C4B demonstrate > 41 allotypes in the two classes of proteins. A compilation of polymorphic sites from limited C4 sequences revealed the presence of 24 polymophic residues, mostly clustered C-terminal to the thioester bond within the C4d region of the alpha-chain. The covalent binding affinities of the thioester carbonyl group of C4A and C4B appear to be modulated by four isotypic residues at positions 1101, 1102, 1105 and 1106. Site directed mutagenesis experiments revealed that D1106 is responsible for the effective binding of C4A to form amide bonds with immune aggregates or protein antigens, and H1106 of C4B catalyzes the transacylation of the thioester carbonyl group to form ester bonds with carbohydrate antigens. The expression of C4 is inducible or enhanced by gamma-interferon. The liver is the main organ that synthesizes and secretes C4A and C4B to the circulation but there are many extra-hepatic sites producing moderate quantities of C4 for local defense. The plasma protein levels of C4A and C4B are mainly determined by the corresponding gene dosage. However, C4B proteins encoded by monomodular short genes may have relatively higher concentrations than those from long C4A genes. The 5' regulatory sequence of a C4 gene contains a Spl site, three E-boxes but no TATA box. The sequences beyond--1524 nt may be completely different as the C4 genes at RCCX module I have RPI-specific sequences, while those at Modules II, III and IV have TNXA-specific sequences. The remarkable genetic diversity of human C4A and C4B probably promotes the exchange of genetic information to create and maintain the quantitative and qualitative variations of C4A and C4B proteins in the population, as driven by the selection pressure against a great variety of microbes. An undesirable accompanying byproduct of this phenomenon is the inherent deleterious recombinations among the RCCX constituents leading to autoimmune and genetic disorders.

Abstract
Disruption of the thiolester in native C4 yields a 'C4b-like C4' molecule (iC4) that functionally resembles C4b and is therefore probably accompanied by conformational changes in the C4 molecule. In most purified C4 preparations, iC4 and C4b are present to a variable extent. In this study we evaluated the use of fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) to resolve and isolate these various forms of C4. C4 was purified from fresh human plasma in a 4-step procedure that included barium citrate adsorption, polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) precipitation, Q-Sepharose Fast Flow and mono Q ion exchange chromatography. The final preparation appeared to be homogeneous on SDS-PAGE and under reducing conditions consisted of three bands that corresponded to the intact alpha, beta and gamma chains of C4. In some preparations the alpha' chain of C4b was also observed. On a Mono Q column the purified C4 preparations could be separated into three peaks that by hemolytic assay and SDS-PAGE were characterized as representing native C4, and monomeric and dimeric iC4 (or monomeric and dimeric C4b). Finally, the apparent KA of the various forms of C4 for C4b-binding protein (C4BP) was investigated. The monomeric iC4 and C4b species demonstrated similar C4BP binding affinity with an apparent KA of 5.6-6.4 x 10(8) M-1, whereas their dimeric forms demonstrated a higher affinity for C4BP with an apparent KA: 0.9-2.3 x 10(9) M-1. Binding of native C4 to C4BP was undetectable.

Abstract
Dopamine beta-hydroxylase exists as three forms in human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells. The membrane-bound form of the hydroxylase contains three different species with apparent relative molecular weights of 73,000, 77,000, and 82,000. The intracellular soluble form of dopamine beta-hydroxylase was present as a single species with an apparent molecular weight of 73,000. Pulse-chase experiments showed that membranous dopamine beta-hydroxylase contains two subunit forms of 73,000 and 77,000 after short chase times. The soluble hydroxylase was synthesized as a single species of 73,000 at approximately the same rate as the lower molecular weight species of the membranous enzyme. A constitutively secreted third form of the enzyme with an intermediate apparent molecular weight also incorporated [35S]sulfate, whereas no significant amount of [35S]sulfate was observed in the cellular forms of the enzyme. The [35S]sulfate was incorporated on N-linked oligosaccharides. Approximately 12% of the enzyme is released constitutively within 1 h. These results demonstrate that neuronal cells have the ability to constitutively secrete a specific form of dopamine beta-hydroxylase which may contribute to the levels of this enzyme found in plasma.

Abstract
The human regulatory complement component C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is a multimeric plasma protein, which regulates the classical pathway of the complement system. C4BP functions as a cofactor to factor 1 in the degradation of C4b and accelerates the decay rate of the C4b2a complex. Previously, we have demonstrated that monoclonal antibodies (C4-2 and 9) directed against the alpha'-chain of C4b inhibit the binding of C4b to C4BP. In order to identify the structural domain of C4b that binds C4BP, proteolytic fragments of C4 were generated with trypsin and Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunoblotting and amino acid sequence analysis of the proteolytic fragments reactive with the anti-C4 mAb's revealed that the residues Ala738-Arg826 of the alpha 3-fragment of C4b are important for the interaction with C4BP.

Abstract
Sulfation of tyrosyl residue(s) has been found to be a post-translational modification that precedes the secretion of many biologically active proteins or peptides. In the present paper, we report on the characterization of human liver tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase (TPST), the enzyme responsible for sulfation of tyrosine in proteins. Using poly Glu,Ala,Tyr (6:3:1; EAY) as the model substrate, human liver TPST was recovered in the microsomal fraction after differential centrifugation. This enzyme displayed a pH optimum of 6.4 and was stimulated approximately 2.5-fold in the presence of 0.5% non-ionic detergents, such as Lubrol-PX and Triton X-100. The divalent cation Mn2+ was required for enzymatic activity and produced maximal activation at 30 mM, whereas other divalent cations, including Mg2+ and Co2+, failed to enhance sulfoconjugation at this concentration. Using the optimized assay condition, the apparent Km for EAY was found to be approximately 1.5 microM, with significant substrate inhibition at EAY concentrations above 2 microM. The 16 amino acid peptide of the C-terminus of C4 possessed an apparent Km of approximately 2.1 microM. Using EAY as a substrate, TPST activity was measured in liver samples from ten organ donors to detect the variability of this enzyme among human subjects. The activity in the male group (1.065 +/- 0.074 pmol/min/mg) was significantly (P less than 0.005) higher than that of the female group (0.662 +/- 0.158 pmol/min/mg), suggesting that TPST activity may be regulated, in part, by sex hormones.

Abstract
Two categories of compounds, substrates of sulfation and sulfate analogs, were tested for the ability to inhibit sulfation of macromolecules secreted by HepG2 cells. Several compounds which most effectively inhibited sulfation without toxic effects on cells were tested for their relative inhibition of sulfation of tyrosine residues (using the fourth component of complement as a model substrate), of N-linked oligosaccharides (alpha 2HS-glycoprotein as substrate), and of proteoglycans. Inhibitors decreased the sulfation of all three classes of substrate, but not always equally. Use of inhibitors from both categories in combination yielded synergistic effects, with more effective inhibition of sulfation and low toxicity. Such combinations of inhibitors should provide a valuable tool for probing the significance of the sulfation of macromolecules.

Abstract
Incubation of first trimester placental explants with [35S]O4 resulted in incorporation of radioactive sulfate into free and dimer forms of alpha subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin. Sulfate was not attached to N-linked oligosaccharides since it was not released by endoglycosidase F. Analysis of pronase digest revealed the presence of tyrosine-O-[35S]O4. Comparison of tryptic peptides of alpha subunit labeled with several amino acids identified the penultimate carboxyterminal peptide as the sulfation site. Since the C-terminal region of the hCG alpha plays a critical role in receptor binding of the hormone, modification in this region may regulate hormonal activity.

Abstract
A procedure has been developed for the analysis of tyrosine O-sulfate in proteins. Samples are subjected to base hydrolysis with Ba(OH)2, neutralized with sulfuric acid, and the majority of other amino acids removed by chromatography on Dowex AG 50 X 8. The average recovery of tyrosine O-sulfate from these procedures was 43%. Tyrosine O-sulfate was identified by reverse-phase HPLC as the phenylthiocarbamyl derivative following precolumn derivatization with phenyl isothiocyanate. The method has been applied to bovine fibrinogen giving a tyrosine O-sulfate content ranging from 0.59 to 1.23 mol/mol. These procedures were also shown to be suitable for the analysis of the incorporation of [35S]sulfate into tyrosine O-sulfate residues in proteins by intact cells.

Abstract
Rapid progress has been made in establishing linkages and in chromosome allocation of the genes of some 9 complement components. In the MHC, C2, Factor B, and two C4 or C4 related genes have been placed in some detail in both man and mouse. The gene coding for the cytochrome P-450 21-hydroxylase has been shown to be duplicated and immediately 3' to the two C4 genes, though it appears to be functionally and structurally unrelated to the complement components. Thus six genes have been mapped to this region where particular haplotypes are associated with increased susceptibility to a number of diseases, some of which are autoimmune in character. The complete gene structure of Factor B has been solved in man and rapid progress is being made with the C2 and C4 genes. The structural basis of the polymorphisms of these genes is being established. In C4, the polymorphism is exceptionally complex with varying numbers of loci and probably more than 50 allotypes occurring in man. A structural basis has also been found for the big differences in the biological activity of some of the C4 allotypes in man. Apart from the genes in the MHC, linkage has been found between the genes coding for C4bp, CR1, and Factor H. Remarkably there are sequence homologies between these proteins and C2 and Factor B, probably related to the ability to bind to one or other of the structurally similar proteins C3b and C4b. The complete cDNA sequences of C3 and C4 in mouse and man have given much information on the many posttranslational modifications of these proteins. A partial structure has been obtained for the C3 gene and the homology shown between C3, C4, C5, alpha 2-macroglobulin, and pregnancy zone protein. Although the amount of detailed information in the molecular genetics of complement components is accumulating rapidly, there appears to be a reasonable prospect that linkages and homologies will classify the data into a comprehensible form.

Abstract
Protein sulfation was studied in germ-free rats by prolonged in vivo labeling with [35S]sulfate. Specific sets of sulfated proteins were observed in all tissues examined, in leucocytes, and in blood plasma. No protein sulfation was detected in erythrocytes. Analysis of the type of sulfate linkage showed that sulfated proteins secreted into the plasma contained predominantly tyrosine sulfate, whereas sulfated proteins found in tissues contained largely carbohydrate sulfate. This implies some kind of selection concerning the intracellular processing, secretion, turnover or re-uptake of sulfated proteins which is responsible for the enrichment of tyrosine-sulfated proteins in the plasma.
