Description:
Pin1 is an essential and conserved mitotic peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) that is distinct from members of two other families of conventional PPIases, cyclophilins and FKBPs (FK-506 binding proteins). In response to their phosphorylation during mitosis, Pin1 binds and regulates members of a highly conserved set of proteins that overlaps with antigens recognized by the mitosis-specific monoclonal antibody MPM-2. Pin1 is here shown to be a phosphorylation-dependent PPIase that specifically recognizes the phosphoserine-proline or phosphothreonine-proline bonds present in mitotic phosphoproteins. Both Pin1 and MPM-2 selected similar phosphorylated serine-proline-containing peptides, providing the basis for the specific interaction between Pin1 and MPM-2 antigens. Pin1 preferentially isomerized proline residues preceded by phosphorylated serine or threonine with up to 1300-fold selectivity compared with unphosphorylated peptides. Pin1 may thus regulate mitotic progression by catalyzing sequence-specific and phosphorylation-dependent proline isomerization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yaffe, M B -- Schutkowski, M -- Shen, M -- Zhou, X Z -- Stukenberg, P T -- Rahfeld, J U -- Xu, J -- Kuang, J -- Kirschner, M W -- Fischer, G -- Cantley, L C -- Lu, K P -- GM56203/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM56230/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM056203/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Dec 12;278(5345):1957-60.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA 02215, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9395400" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
