Abstract
Electrical stimulation (ES) plays an important role in regulating cell osteoblast differentiation. As a noninvasive rehabilitation therapy method, Es has a unique role in postoperative recovery. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is the most commonly used bioactive molecule in in situ tissue engineering scaffolds, and it plays an important regulatory role in the whole process of bone injury repair. In this study, the osteogenic regulation of MC-3T3-E1 cells was studied by combining pulsed electrical stimulation (PES) and different concentrations of BMP-2. The results showed that PES and BMP-2 could synergically promote the proliferation of MC-3T3-E1 cells. The qPCR results of osteoblast-related genes showed that PES was synergistic with BMP-2 to promote osteoblast differentiation mainly through the regulation of the Smad/BMP and insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling pathways. The expression level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red staining further demonstrated the synergistic effect of PES and BMP-2 on promoting osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of cells. PES and BMP-2 could also synergically promote cell proliferation, expression of collagen I (COL-I) and ALP, and cell mineralization on the 3D-printed polylactic acid scaffold. These results suggest that the use of PES can enhance the osteogenic effect of in situ bone repair scaffolds containing BMP-2, reduce the dose of BMP-2 alone, and reduce the possible side effects of high-dose BMP-2 in vivo.

Abstract
In this contribution we establish a proof of concept method for monitoring, quantifying and differentiating the extracellular phosphorylation of Human SHSY5Y undifferentiated neuronal cells and neuroblastoma cells by three prominent ectokinases PKA, PKC and Src. Herein it is demonstrated that a combination of different experimental techniques, including fluroesence microscopy, quartz crystal microscopy (QCM) and electrochemistry, can be used to detect extracellular phosphorylation levels of neuronal and neuroblastoma cells. Phosphorylation profiles of the three ectokinases, PKA, PKC and Src, were investigated using fluorescence microscopy and the number of phosphorylation sites per kinase was estimated using QCM. Finally, the phosphorylation of the extracellular membrane was determined using electrochemistry. Our results clearly demonstrate that the extracellular phosphorylation of neuronal cells differs significantly in terms of its phosphorylation profile from diseased neuroblastoma cells and the strength of surface electrochemical techniques in the differentiation process. We reveal that using electrochemistry, the percent compositions of neuronal and neuroblastoma cells can also be identified.

Phosphorylated Osteopontin Secreted from Cancer Cells Induces Cancer Cell Motility. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11091323.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) plays a pivotal role in cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Although OPN has a large number of phosphorylation sites, the functional significance of OPN phosphorylation in cancer cell motility remains unclear. In this study, we attempted to investigate whether phosphorylated OPN secreted from cancer cells affect cancer cell migration. Quantitative PCR and Western blot analyses revealed that MDA-MB435S, A549, and H460 cells highly expressed OPN, whereas the OPN expression levels in H358, MIAPaca-2, and Panc-1 cells were quite low or were not detected. Compared with the cancer cell lines with a low OPN expression, the high OPN-expressing cancer cell lines displayed a higher cell migration, and the cell migration was suppressed by the anti-OPN antibody. This was confirmed by the OPN overexpression in H358 cancer cells with a low endogenous OPN. Phos-tag ELISA showed that phosphorylated OPN was abundant in the cell culture media of A549 and H460 cells, but not in those of MDA-MB435S cells. Moreover, the A549 and H460 cell culture media, as well as the MDA-MB435S cell culture media with a kinase treatment increased cancer cell motility, both of which were abrogated by phosphatase treatment or anti-OPN antibodies. These results suggest that phosphorylated OPN secreted from cancer cells regulates cancer cell motility.

Abstract
Previous decades have seen an explosion in our understanding of protein kinase function in human health and disease. Hundreds of unique kinase structures have been solved, allowing us to create generalized rules for catalysis, assign roles of communities within the catalytic core, and develop specific drugs for targeting various pathways. Although our understanding of intracellular kinases has developed at a fast rate, our exploration into extracellular kinases has just begun. In this review, we will cover the secreted protein kinase families found in humans, bacteria, and parasites. © 2019 IUBMB Life, 71(6):749-759, 2019.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of bone matrix proteins is of fundamental importance to all vertebrates including humans. However, it is currently unknown whether increase or decline of total protein phosphorylation levels, particularly in hypophosphatemia-related osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and rickets, contribute to bone fracture. To address this gap, we combined biochemical measurements with mechanical evaluation of bone to discern fracture characteristics associated with age-related development of skeletal fragility in relation to total phosphorylation levels of bone matrix proteins and one of the key representatives of bone matrix phosphoproteins, osteopontin (OPN). Here for the first time, we report that as people age the total phosphorylation level declines by approximately 20% for bone matrix proteins and approximately 30% for OPN in the ninth decade of human life. Moreover, our results suggest that the decline of total protein phosphorylation of extracellular matrix (ECM) contributes to bone fragility, but less pronouncedly than glycation. We theorize that the separation of two sources of OPN negative charges, acidic backbone amino acids and phosphorylation, would be nature's means of assuring that OPN functions in both energy dissipation and biomineralization. We propose that total phosphorylation decline could be an important contributor to the development of osteoporosis, increased fracture risk and skeletal fragility. Targeting the enzymes kinase FamC20 and bone alkaline phosphatase involved in the regulation of matrix proteins' phosphorylation could be a means for the development of suitable therapeutic treatments. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Ecto-protein kinases, including protein kinase CK2 (former name, casein kinase 2), have been the focus of research for more than 30 years. At the beginning of the ecto-kinase research their identification was performed with substrates and inhibitors whose specificity under the current knowledge was rather limited. Since all currently known ecto-kinases, including ecto-CK2, have intracellular counterparts, one has to exclude that an ecto-localization originates from intracellular counterparts after cell damage. Protein kinase CK2 is involved in cellular key processes such as cell cycle progression, inhibition of apoptosis, DNA damage repair, differentiation and many other processes. CK2 is composed of two catalytic CK2α or CK2α' subunits and two non-catalytic CK2β subunits. Progress in the ecto-kinase and in particular ecto-CK2 studies was made with the use of transfected tagged CK2 subunits, which allowed to follow their individual transport and localization on the cell surface after transfection. Furthermore, immunofluorescence studies with antibodies against CK2 subunits as well as affinity chromatography with a binding partner of CK2 subunits have improved ecto-kinase research. The use of new and more specific inhibitors as well as of substrates, which do not cross the plasma membrane, have further improved the specificity for ecto-CK2. From the various substrates of ecto-CK2, it can be concluded that ecto-CK2 plays a role in Alzheimer disease, cell adhesion, platelet aggregation, immune response and cellular signalling. New tools and techniques, to study ecto-CK2 activity, are required to identify new substrates and thereby new functional implications for ecto-CK2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acids, such as those used in adhesive dentistry, have been shown to solubilize bioactive molecules from dentin. These dentin matrix components (DMC) may promote cell proliferation and differentiation, and ultimately contribute to dentin regeneration. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential for varying concentrations of DMC extracted from human dentin by phosphoric acid of a range of pHs to stimulate proliferation and mineralization of two different cultured pulp cell populations. METHODS DMC were solubilized from powdered human dentin (7 days - 4°C) by phosphoric acid of pH 1, 3, and 5 and also, EDTA. Extracts were dialyzed for 7 days against distilled water and lyophilized. Undifferentiated mouse dental pulp cells (OD-21) and cells of the odontoblast-like cell line (MDPC-23) were seeded in six-well plates (1×10(5)) and cultured for 24h in DMEM (Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium) containing 10% (v/v) FBS (fetal bovine serum). The cells were washed with serum-free medium and then treated with different concentrations of DMC (0.01, 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0μg/ml) daily in serum free medium for 7 days. After 3, 5 (MDPC-23 only), and 7 days of treatment, cell proliferation was measured using 10vol% Alamar blue solution, which was added to each well for 1h. Cell numbers were first measured by cell counting (Trypan blue; n=5) and Alamar blue fluorescence to validate the assay, which was then used for the subsequent assessments of proliferation. Mineralization was assessed by Alizarin Red S assay after 12 days exposure to DMC (n=5). Controls were media-only (DMEM) and dexamethasone (DEX; positive control). Results were analysed by ANOVA/Tukey's (p≤0.05). RESULTS There was a linear correlation between cell counts and Alamar blue fluorescence (R(2)>0.96 for both cell types) , verifying the validity of the Alamar blue assay for these cell types. In general, there was a dose-dependent trend for enhanced cell proliferation with higher concentration of DMC for both cell lines, especially at 10.0μg/ml. DEX exposure resulted in significantly higher mineralization, but did not affect cell proliferation. DMC exposure demonstrated significantly greater mineralization than media-only control for 10μg/ml for all extracts, and at lower concentrations for EDTA and pH 5 extracts. SIGNIFICANCE Human dentin matrix components solubilized by acids at pH levels found in commercial dentin adhesives enhanced cell proliferation and mineralization of mouse and rat undifferentiated dental pulp cells when presented in adequate concentration.

Abstract
Mining of the literature and high-throughput mass spectrometry data from both healthy and diseased tissues and from body fluids reveals evidence that various extracellular proteins can exist in phosphorylated states. Extracellular kinases and phosphatases (ectokinases and ectophosphatases) are active in extracellular spaces during times of sufficiently high concentrations of adenosine triphosphate. There is evidence for a role of extracellular phosphorylation in various physiological functions, including blood coagulation, immune cell activation, and the formation of neuronal networks. Ectokinase activity is increased in some diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and some microbial infections. We summarize the literature supporting the physiological and pathological roles of extracellularly localized protein kinases, protein phosphatases, and phosphorylated proteins and provide an analysis of the available mass spectrometry data to annotate potential extracellular phosphorylated proteins.

Abstract
Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6, phytic acid) is an endogenous compound present in mammalian cells and tissues. Differentially phosphorylated forms of inositol are well-documented to have important roles in signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation, and IP6 in particular has been suggested to inhibit soft tissue calcification (specifically renal and vascular calcification) by binding extracellularly to calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate crystals. However, the effects of IP6 on bone mineralization are largely unknown. In this study, we used MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cultures to examine the effects of exogenous IP6 on osteoblast function and matrix mineralization. IP6 at physiologic concentrations caused a dose-dependent inhibition of mineralization without affecting cell viability, proliferation or collagen deposition. Osteoblast differentiation markers, including tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase activity, bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin mRNA levels, were not adversely affected by IP6 treatment. On the other hand, IP6 markedly increased protein and mRNA levels of osteopontin, a potent inhibitor of crystal growth and matrix mineralization. Inositol alone (without phosphate), as well as inositol hexakis-sulphate, a compound with a high negative charge similar to IP6, had no effect on mineralization or osteopontin induction. Binding of IP6 to mineral crystals from the osteoblast cultures, as well as to synthetic hydroxyapatite crystals, was confirmed by a colorimetric assay for IP6. In summary, IP6 inhibits mineralization of osteoblast cultures by binding to growing crystals through negatively charged phosphate groups and by induction of inhibitory osteopontin expression. These data suggest that IP6 may regulate physiologic bone mineralization by directly acting extracellularly, and by serving as a specific signal at the cellular level for the regulation of osteopontin gene expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sea urchin is a major model organism for developmental biology and biomineralization research. However, identification of proteins involved in larval skeleton formation and mineralization processes in the embryo and adult, and the molecular characterization of such proteins, has just gained momentum with the sequencing of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus genome and the introduction of high-throughput proteomics into the field. RESULTS The present report contains the determination of test (shell) and tooth organic matrix phosphoproteomes. Altogether 34 phosphoproteins were identified in the biomineral organic matrices. Most phosphoproteins were specific for one compartment, only two were identified in both matrices. The sea urchin phosphoproteomes contained several obvious orthologs of mammalian proteins, such as a Src family tyrosine kinase, protein kinase C-delta 1, Dickkopf-1 and other signal transduction components, or nucleobindin. In most cases phosphorylation sites were conserved between sea urchin and mammalian proteins. However, the majority of phosphoproteins had no mammalian counterpart. The most interesting of the sea urchin-specific phosphoproteins, from the perspective of biomineralization research, was an abundant highly phosphorylated and very acidic tooth matrix protein composed of 35 very similar short sequence repeats, a predicted N-terminal secretion signal sequence, and an Asp-rich C-terminal motif, contained in [Glean3:18919]. CONCLUSIONS The 64 phosphorylation sites determined represent the most comprehensive list of experimentally identified sea urchin protein phosphorylation sites at present and are an important addition to the recently analyzed Strongylocentrotus purpuratus shell and tooth proteomes. The identified phosphoproteins included a major, highly phosphorylated protein, [Glean3:18919], for which we suggest the name phosphodontin. Although not sequence-related to such highly phosphorylated acidic mammalian dental phosphoproteins as phosphoryn or dentin matrix protein-1, phosphodontin may perform similar functions in the sea urchin tooth. More than half of the detected proteins were not previously identified at the protein level, thus confirming the existence of proteins only known as genomic sequences previously.

While bone is hypomineralized in hypophosphatemia patients and in tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (Tnsalp)-deficient mice, the extensive mineralization that nevertheless occurs suggests involvement of other phosphatases in providing phosphate ions for mineral deposition. Although the source of phosphate liberated by these phosphatases is unknown, pyrophosphate, ATP, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) and phoshoethanolamine (PEA) are likely candidates. In this study, we have induced mineralization of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cultures using ATP, and have investigated potential phosphatases involved in this mineralization process. MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were cultured for 12 days and treated either with beta-glycerophosphate (betaGP) or ATP. Matrix and mineral deposition was examined by biochemical, cytochemical, ultrastructural and X-ray microanalytical methods. ATP added at levels of 4-5 mM resulted in mineral deposition similar to that following conventional treatment with betaGP. Collagen levels were similarly normal in ATP-mineralized cultures and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis confirmed hydroxyapatite mineral deposition along the collagen fibrils in the ECM. Phosphate release from 4 mM ATP into the medium was rapid and resulted in approximately twice the phosphate levels than after release from 10 mM betaGP. ATP treatment did not affect mineralization by altering the expression of mineral-regulating genes such as Enpp1, Ank, and Mgp, nor phosphatase genes indicating that ATP induces mineralization by serving as a phosphate source for mineral deposition. Levamisole, an inhibitor of TNSALP, completely blocked mineralization in betaGP-treated cultures, but had minor effects on ATP-mediated mineralization, indicating that other phosphatases such as plasma membrane Ca2+ transport ATPase 1 (PMCA1) and transglutaminase 2 (TG2) are contributing to ATP hydrolysis. To examine their involvement in ATP-mediated mineralization, the inhibitors cystamine (TG2 inhibitor) and ortho-vanadate (PMCA inhibitor) were added to the cultures - both inhibitors significantly reduced mineralization whereas suppression of the phosphate release by ortho-vanadate was minor comparing to other two inhibitors. The contribution of PMCA1 to mineralization may occur through pumping of calcium towards calcification sites and TG2 can likely act as an ATPase in the ECM. Unlike the GTPase activity of TG2, its ATPase function was resistant to calcium, demonstrating the potential for participation in ATP hydrolysis and mineral deposition within the ECM at elevated calcium concentrations.

Abstract
Three principal mineralized tissues are present in teeth; a highly mineralized surface layer (enamel or enameloid), body dentin, and basal bone. Similar tissues have been identified in the dermal skeleton of Paleozoic jawless vertebrates, suggesting their ancient origin. These dental tissues form on protein matrix and their mineralization is controlled by distinctive proteins. We have shown that many secretory calcium-binding phosphoproteins (SCPPs) are involved in tetrapod tissue mineralization. These SCPPs all originated from the common ancestral gene SPARCL1 (secreted protein, acidic, cysteine-rich like 1) that initially arose from SPARC. The SCPP family also includes a bird eggshell matrix protein, mammalian milk casein, and salivary proteins. The eggshell SCPP plays crucial roles in rigid eggshell production, milk SCPPs in efficient lactation and in the evolution of complex dentition, and salivary SCPPs in maintaining tooth integrity. A comparative analysis of the mammalian, avian, and amphibian genomes revealed a tandem duplication history of the SCPP genes in tetrapods. Although these tetrapod SCPP genes are fewer in teleost genomes, independent parallel duplication has created distinct SCPP genes in this lineage. These teleost SCPPs are also used for enameloid and dentin mineralization, implying essential roles of SCPPs for dental tissue mineralization in osteichthyans. However, the SCPPs used for tetrapod enamel and teleost enameloid, as well as tetrapod dentin and teleost dentin, are all different. Thus, the evolution of vertebrate mineralized tissues seems to be explained by phenogenetic drift: while mineralized tissues are retained during vertebrate evolution, the underlying genetic basis has extensively drifted.

Abstract
Ecto-phosphorylation is emerging as an important mechanism to regulate cellular ligand interactions and signal transduction. Here we show that extracellular phosphorylation of the cell surface receptor collagen XVII regulates shedding of its ectodomain. Collagen XVII, a member of the novel family of collagenous transmembrane proteins and component of the hemidesmosomes, mediates adhesion of the epidermis to the dermis in the skin. The ectodomain is constitutively shed from the cell surface by metalloproteinases of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) family, mainly by tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme (TACE). We used biochemical, mutagenesis, and structural modeling approaches to delineate mechanisms controlling ectodomain cleavage. A standard assay for extracellular phosphorylation, incubation of intact keratinocytes with cell-impermeable [gamma-(32)P]ATP, led to collagen XVII labeling. This was significantly diminished by both broad-spectrum extracellular kinase inhibitor K252b and a specific casein kinase 2 (CK2) inhibitor. Collagen XVII peptides containing a putative CK2 recognition site were phosphorylated by CK2 in vitro, disclosing Ser(542) and Ser(544) in the ectodomain as phosphate group acceptors. Phosphorylation of Ser(544) in vivo and in vitro was confirmed by immunoblotting of epidermis and HaCaT keratinocyte extracts with phosphoepitope-specific antibodies. Functionally, inhibition of CK2 kinase activity or mutation of the phosphorylation acceptor Ser(544) to Ala significantly increased ectodomain shedding, whereas overexpression of CK2alpha inhibited cleavage of collagen XVII. Structural modeling suggested that the phosphorylation of serine residues prevents binding of TACE to its substrate. Thus, extracellular phosphorylation of collagen XVII by ecto-CK2 inhibits its shedding by TACE and represents novel mechanism to regulate adhesion and motility of epithelial cells.

Abstract
The chicken eggshell matrix is a complex mixture of proteins and proteoglycans. It also contains phosphoproteins that are thought to affect mineralization of the matrix. Several of the matrix phosphoproteins, such as the major component osteopontin, have already been identified as phosphoproteins in other tissues, but the phosphorylation status of the eggshell matrix forms was unknown. The phosphopeptides, obtained after cleavage of the matrix proteins with several different cleavage methods, were enriched by anion-exchange chromatography and reversible binding to titanium oxide and identified by LC-MS(n) or pseudo-MS(n) analysis following neutral loss scanning. Altogether we identified 39 phosphorylated matrix proteins, 22 of which were not known to be phosphorylated before. Eight of the proteins were identified as eggshell matrix components for the first time. Together these proteins contained more than 150 different phosphorylation sites, 103 of which were determined with high confidence. Among the major phosphorylated proteins of the chicken eggshell matrix were osteopontin and the eggshell-specific proteins ovocleidin-17, ovocleidin-116, and ovocalyxin-32.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix production and degradation by bone cells are critical steps in bone metabolism. Mutations of the gene encoding MMP-2, an extracellular matrix-degrading enzyme, are associated with a human genetic disorder characterized by subcutaneous nodules, arthropathy, and focal osteolysis. It is not known how the loss of MMP-2 function results in the pathology. Here, we show that Mmp2(-/-) mice exhibited opposing bone phenotypes caused by an impaired osteocytic canalicular network. Mmp2(-/-) mice showed decreased bone mineral density in the limb and trunk bones but increased bone volume in the calvariae. In the long bones, there was moderate disruption of the osteocytic networks and reduced bone density throughout life, whereas osteoblast and osteoclast function was normal. In contrast, aged but not young Mmp2(-/-) mice had calvarial sclerosis with osteocyte death. Severe disruption of the osteocytic networks preceded osteocyte loss in Mmp2(-/-) calvariae. Successful transplantation of wild-type periosteum restored the osteocytic canalicular networks in the Mmp2(-/-) calvariae, suggesting local roles of MMP-2 in determining bone phenotypes. Our results indicate that MMP-2 plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining the osteocytic canalicular network, and we propose that osteocytic network formation is a determinant of bone remodeling and mineralization.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix is a vital compartment in plants with a prominent role in defence against pathogen attack. Using a maize cell suspension culture system and pathogen elicitors, responses to pathogen attack that are localised to the extracellular matrix were examined by a proteomic approach. Elicitor treatment of cell cultures induced a rapid change in the phosphorylation status of extracellular peroxidases, the apparent disappearance of a putative extracellular beta-N-acetylglucosamonidase, and accumulation of a secreted putative xylanase inhibitor protein. Onset of the defence response was attended by an accumulation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and a fragment of a putative heat shock protein. Several distinct spots of both proteins, which preferentially accumulated in cell wall protein fractions, were identified. These three novel observations, viz. (i) secretion of a new class of putative enzyme inhibitor, (ii) the apparent recruitment of classical cytosolic proteins into the cell wall and (ii) the change in phosphorylation status of extracellular matrix proteins, suggest that the extracellular matrix plays a complex role in defence. We discuss the role of the extracellular matrix in signal modulation during pathogen-induced defence responses.

Abstract
Matrix Extracellular Phospho-glycoprotEin (MEPE) and proteases are elevated and PHEX is defective in HYP. PHEX prevents proteolysis of MEPE and release of a protease-resistant MEPE-ASARM peptide, an inhibitor of mineralization (minhibin). Thus, in HYP, mutated PHEX may contribute to increased ASARM peptide release. Moreover, binding of MEPE by PHEX may regulate this process in normal subjects. The nature of the PHEX-MEPE nonproteolytic interaction(s) (direct or indirect) is/are unknown. Our aims were to determine (1) whether PHEX binds specifically to MEPE, (2) whether the binding involves the ASARM motif region, and (3) whether free ASARM peptide affects mineralization in vivo in mice. Protein interactions between MEPE and recombinant soluble PHEX (secPHEX) were measured using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Briefly, secPHEX, MEPE, and control protein (IgG) were immobilized on a Biacore CM5 sensor chip, and SPR experiments were performed on a Biacore 3000 high-performance research system. Pure secPHEX was then injected at different concentrations, and interactions with immobilized proteins were measured. To determine MEPE sequences interacting with secPHEX, the inhibitory effects of MEPE-ASARM peptides (phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated), control peptides, and MEPE midregion RGD peptides on secPHEX binding to chip-immobilized MEPE were measured. ASARM peptide and etidronate-mediated mineralization inhibition in vivo and in vitro were determined by quenched calcein fluorescence in hind limbs and calvariae in mice and by histological Sanderson stain. A specific, dose-dependent and Zn-dependent protein interaction between secPHEX and immobilized MEPE occurs (EC50 of 553 nM). Synthetic MEPE PO4-ASARM peptide inhibits the PHEX-MEPE interaction (K(D(app)) = 15 uM and B(max/inhib) = 68%). In contrast, control and MEPE-RGD peptides had no effect. Subcutaneous administration of ASARM peptide resulted in marked quenching of fluorescence in calvariae and hind limbs relative to vehicle controls indicating impaired mineralization. Similar results were obtained with etidronate. Sanderson-stained calvariae also indicated a marked increase in unmineralized osteoid with ASARM peptide and etidronate groups. We conclude that PHEX and MEPE form a nonproteolytic protein interaction via the MEPE carboxy-terminal ASARM motif, and the ASARM peptide inhibits mineralization in vivo. The binding of MEPE and ASARM peptide by PHEX may explain why loss of functional osteoblast-expressed PHEX results in defective mineralization in HYP.

Abstract
Matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE) is expressed exclusively in osteoblasts, osteocytes and odontoblasts with markedly elevated expression found in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (Hyp) osteoblasts and in oncogenic hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (OHO) tumors. Because these syndromes are associated with abnormalities in mineralization and renal phosphate excretion, we examined the effects of insect-expressed full-length human-MEPE (Hu-MEPE) on serum and urinary phosphate in vivo, (33)PO(4) uptake in renal proximal tubule cultures and mineralization of osteoblast cultures. Dose-dependent hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphaturia occurred in mice following intraperitoneal (IP) administration of Hu-MEPE (up to 400 microg kg(-1) 31 h(-1)), similar to mice given the phosphaturic hormone PTH (80 microg kg(-1) 31 h(-1)). Also the fractional excretion of phosphate (FEP) was stimulated by MEPE [65.0% (P < 0.001)] and PTH groups [53.3% (P < 0.001)] relative to the vehicle group [28.7% (SEM 3.97)]. In addition, Hu-MEPE significantly inhibited (33)PO(4) uptake in primary human proximal tubule renal cells (RPTEC) and a human renal cell line (Hu-CL8) in vitro (V(max) 53.4% inhibition; K(m) 27.4 ng/ml, and V(max) 9.1% inhibition; K(m) 23.8 ng/ml, respectively). Moreover, Hu-MEPE dose dependently (50-800 ng/ml) inhibited BMP2-mediated mineralization of a murine osteoblast cell line (2T3) in vitro. Inhibition of mineralization was localized to a small (2 kDa) cathepsin B released carboxy-terminal MEPE peptide (protease-resistant) containing the acidic serine-aspartate-rich motif (ASARM peptide). We conclude that MEPE promotes renal phosphate excretion and modulates mineralization.

Abstract
Osteopontin and PP(i) both suppress hydroxyapatite deposition. Extracellular PP(i) deficiency causes spontaneous hypercalcification, yet unchallenged osteopontin knockout mice have only subtle mineralization abnormalities. We report that extracellular PP(i) deficiency promotes osteopontin deficiency and correction of osteopontin deficiency prevents hypercalcification, suggesting synergistic inhibition of hydroxyapatite deposition. Nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase (NPP) isozymes including PC-1 (NPP1) function partly to generate PP(i), a physiologic calcification inhibitor. PP(i) transport is modulated by the membrane channel protein ANK. Spontaneous articular cartilage calcification, increased vertebral cortical bone formation, and peripheral joint and intervertebral ossific ankylosis are associated with both PC-1 deficiency and expression of truncated ANK in ank/ank mice. To assess how PC-1, ANK, and PP(i) regulate both calcification and cell differentiation, we studied cultured PC-1 -/- and ank/ank mouse calvarial osteoblasts. PC-1 -/- osteoblasts demonstrated approximately 50% depressed NPP activity and markedly lowered extracellular PP(i) associated with hypercalcification. These abnormalities were rescued by transfection of PC-1 but not of the NPP isozyme B10/NPP3. PC-1 -/- and ank/ank cultured osteoblasts demonstrated not only comparable extracellular PP(i) depression and hypercalcification but also marked reduction in expression of osteopontin (OPN), another direct calcification inhibitor. Soluble PC-1 (which corrected extracellular PP(i) and OPN), and OPN itself (> or = 15 pg/ml), corrected hypercalcification by PC-1 -/- and ank/ank osteoblasts. Thus, linked regulatory effects on extracellular PP(i) and OPN expression mediate the ability of PC-1 and ANK to regulate calcification.

Abstract
Bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin (OPN) are sulphated and phosphorylated sialoglycoproteins that regulate the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals during de novo bone formation. To gain insights into the relationship between the synthesis and posttranslational modification of BSP and OPN and the mineralization of bone, pulsechase studies were conducted on cultures of newly forming bone nodules produced by fetal rat calvarial cells in vitro. Cultures were pulse labelled with 35SO4, or with either 32PO4 or [γ-32P]ATP to study intracellular and extracellular phosphorylation, respectively, and chased in isotope-free medium for various times up to 24 h. The presence of radiolabelled BSP and OPN was determined in the cells, in culture medium, and in various tissue compartments obtained by dissociative extraction with 4 M GuHCl (G1), 0.5 M EDTA (E), and again with 4 M GuHCl (G2) and a bacterial collagenase digestion of the demineralized collagenous tissue residue. With each isotope employed, radiolabelled BSP and OPN were detected in the E extract within the 1-h chase period and increased in amount with time. Similarly, 35SO4- and 32PO4-labelled BSP increased in the G2 extract, but OPN was not detected. In the G1 extract the 35SO4-labelled BSP decreased with chase time, whereas the 32PO4-labelled BSP increased. No differences were evident in the profiles of BSP labelled with 32PO4 or [γ-32P]ATP. In the absence of β-glycerophosphate, which is required for optimal mineralization of the bone nodules, 35SO4-labelled BSP was increased in the medium and G1 extract and decreased in the E extract and G2 extract after 3 h. In addition to differences in the tissue compartmentalization of BSP and OPN, these studies indicate that 35SO4 is lost from BSP during mineralization and that isoforms of BSP exist with a selective affinity for the organic and mineral phases. Moreover, the additional phosphorylation of BSP and OPN catalyzed by ectokinase activity does not appear to alter the distribution of these sialoproteins.Key words: biosynthesis, bone, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin, mineralization, posttranslational modification.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) is a highly phosphorylated sialoprotein that is a prominent component of the mineralized extracellular matrices of bones and teeth. OPN is characterized by the presence of a polyaspartic acid sequence and sites of Ser/Thr phosphorylation that mediate hydroxyapatite binding, and a highly conserved RGD motif that mediates cell attachment/signaling. Expression of OPN in a variety of tissues indicates a multiplicity of functions that involve one or more of these conserved motifs. While the lack of a clear phenotype in OPN "knockout" mice has not established a definitive role for OPN in any tissue, recent studies have provided some novel and intriguing insights into the versatility of this enigmatic protein in diverse biological events, including developmental processes, wound healing, immunological responses, tumorigenesis, bone resorption, and calcification. The ability of OPN to stimulate cell activity through multiple receptors linked to several interactive signaling pathways can account for much of the functional diversity. In this review, we discuss the structural features of OPN that relate to its function in the formation, remodeling, and maintenance of bones and teeth.

Abstract
Stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) and stanniocalcin 2 (STC2) are two recently identified mammalian peptide hormones. STC1 plays a role in calcium and phosphate homoeostasis, while the role of STC2 is unknown. We examined a human fibrosarcoma cell line, HT1080, that has high steady-state STC1 and STC2 mRNA levels, to determine whether these proteins are secreted. Following incubation of HT1080 cells with (32)P, labelled STC1 and STC2 were found to be secreted into the medium. STC1 was phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C (PKC). In vitro and in vivo phosphorylation both occurred exclusively on serine and the phosphopeptide maps were similar, suggesting that PKC might be the in vivo kinase. STC2 was phosphorylated in vitro by casein kinase II (CK2), in vitro and in vivo phosphorylation were exclusively on serine and the phosphopeptide maps were indistinguishable. Phosphorylation of STC2 in intact cells resulted from the action of an ecto-protein kinase, since exogenous STC2 was phosphorylated by HT1080 cells and no phosphorylated STC2 was detectable inside the cells. The ectokinase activity was abolished by heparin and GTP could substitute for ATP as the phosphate donor, indicative of an ecto-CK2-like activity. The in vitro CK2 phosphorylation site was shown by matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight MS to be a single serine located between Ser-285 and Ser-298 in the C-terminal region of STC2. This is the first report of the secretion of STC1 or STC2 from mammalian cells. We conclude that these human fibrosarcoma cells express both STC1 and STC2 as secreted phosphoproteins in vivo, with STC2 being phosphorylated by an ecto-CK2-like enzyme.

Abstract
Human platelets express a protein phosphorylation system on their surface. A specific protein kinase C (PKC) antibody, monoclonal antibody (MAb) 1.9, which binds to the catalytic domain of PKC and inhibits its activity, causes the aggregation of intact platelets while inhibiting the phosphorylation of platelet surface proteins. Photoaffinity labeling with 100 nM 8-azido-[alpha(32)P]ATP identified this ecto-PKC as a single surface protein of 43 kDa sensitive to proteolysis by extracellular 0.0005% trypsin. Inhibition of the binding of 8-azido-[alpha(32)P]ATP to the 43-kDa surface protein by MAb 1.9 identified this site as the active domain of ecto-PKC. Covalent binding of the azido-ATP molecule to the 43-kDa surface protein inhibited the phosphorylative activity of the platelet ecto-PKC. Furthermore, PKC pseudosubstrate inhibitory peptides directly induced the aggregation of platelets and inhibited azido-ATP binding to the 43-kDa protein. Platelet aggregation induced by MAb 1.9 and by PKC inhibitory peptides required the presence of fibrinogen and resulted in an increase in the level of intracellular free calcium concentration. This increase in intracellular free calcium concentration induced by MAb 1.9 was found to be dependent on the binding of fibrinogen to activated GPIIb/IIIa integrins, suggesting that MAb 1.9 causes Ca(2+) flux through the fibrinogen receptor complex. We conclude that a decrease in the state of phosphorylation of platelet surface proteins caused by inhibition of ecto-PKC results in membrane rearrangements that can induce the activation of latent fibrinogen receptors, leading to platelet aggregation. Accordingly, the maintenance of a physiological steady state of phosphorylation of proteins on the platelet surface by ecto-PKC activity appears to be one of the homeostatic mechanisms that maintain fibrinogen receptors of circulating platelets in a latent state that cannot bind fibrinogen.

Abstract
The search for a protein nucleator of hydroxyapatite crystal formation has been a focus for the isolation and characterization of the major non-collagenous proteins in bone. Of the proteins characterized to date, bone sialoprotein (BSP) has emerged as the only bona fide candidate for nucleation. BSP is a highly glycosylated and sulphated phosphoprotein that is found almost exclusively in mineralized connective tissues. Characteristically, polyglutamic acid and arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) motifs with the ability to bind hydroxyapatite and cell-surface integrins, respectively, have been conserved in the protein sequence. Expression of the BSP gene, which is induced in newly formed osteoblasts, is up-regulated by hormones and cytokines that promote bone formation and down-regulated by factors that suppress bone formation. Thus, BSP has the biophysical and chemical properties of a nucleator, and its temporo-spatial expression coincides with de novo mineralization in bone and cementum. Moreover, BSP has been associated with mineral crystal formation in several pathologies, including breast carcinomas. However, the ability of BSP to mediate cell attachment and to signal through the RGD motif points to alternate functions for BSP which need further investigation. In combination, the hydroxyapatite-binding polyglutamic acid sequences and the RGD provide bi-functional entities through which BSP may mediate the targeting and attachment of normal and metastasizing cells to the bone surface.

Abstract
An increasing number of studies document the presence of protein kinases facing outwards at the cell surface of a diverse array of cells. These ecto-protein kinases phosphorylate cell-surface proteins and soluble extracellular substrates, and thus could affect many physiological processes involving cell-cell contacts, cellular differentiation and proliferation, ion fluxes and cellular activation. To date, only limited attention has been paid to exploring ecto-protein kinases as possible pharmacological targets. Here, the identification and physiological role of ecto-protein kinases in different biological systems is described; it is suggested that ecto-protein kinases are attractive and novel candidates for pharmacological manipulation under various (patho)physiological conditions.
