Title : Post-translationally modified
residues of native human
osteopontin are located in clusters: identification of 36 phosphorylation and five O-glycosylation
sites and their biological implications
Abstract :
- OPN ( osteopontin ) is an integrin-binding highly phosphorylated glycoprotein , recognized as a key molecule in a multitude of biological processes such as bone mineralization, cancer metastasis, cell-mediated immune response, inflammation and cell survival
- A significant regulation of OPN function is mediated through PTM (post-translational modification)
- Using a combination of Edman degradation and MS analyses, we have characterized the complete phosphorylation and glycosylation pattern of native human OPN
- A total of 36 phosphoresidues have been localized in the sequence of OPN
- There are 29 phosphorylations ( Ser8, Ser10, Ser11, Ser46, Ser47, Thr50, Ser60, Ser62, Ser65, Ser83, Ser86, Ser89, Ser92, Ser104, Ser110, Ser113, Thr169, Ser179, Ser208, Ser218, Ser238, Ser247, Ser254, Ser259, Ser264, Ser275, Ser287, Ser292 and Ser294 ) located in the target sequence of MGCK (mammary gland casein kinase ) also known as the Golgi kinase (S/T-X-E/S(P)/D)
- Six phosphorylations ( Ser101, Ser107, Ser175, Ser199, Ser212 and Ser251 ) are located in the target sequence of CKII ( casein kinase II ) [S-X-X-E/S(P)/D] and a single phosphorylation, Ser203 , is not position ed in the motif of either MGCK or CKII
- The 36 phosphoresidues represent the maximal degree of modification since variability at many sites was seen
- Five threonine residues are O-glycosylated ( Thr118, Thr122, Thr127, Thr131 and Thr136 ) and two potential sites for N-glycosylation ( Asn63 and Asn90 ) are not occupied in human milk OPN
- The phosphorylations are arranged in clusters of three to five phosphoresidues and the regions containing the glycosylations and the RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) integrin-binding sequence are devoid of phosphorylations
- Knowledge about the positions and nature of PTMs in OPN will allow a rational experimental design of functional studies aimed at understanding the structural and functional interdependences in diverse biological processes in which OPN is a key molecule
