1. CS-0777, a candidate compound for autoimmune diseases, becomes phosphorylated active metabolite, M1, by fructosamine 3-kinase (FN3K), FN3K-related protein (FN3K-RP); and M1 is reverted back to CS-0777 by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the body. We performed enzyme kinetic analysis of phosphorylation of CS-0777 by FN3K, FN3K-RP, human erythrocytes and human platelets; and dephosphorylation of M1 by various ALP isozymes and human liver, kidney, lung and small intestine microsomes. 2. The Michaelis constants of human FN3K, FN3K-RP and erythrocytes for CS-0777 phosphorylation were in the range from 498 μM to 1060 μM. FN3K inhibitor, 1-deoxy-1-morpholinofructose, suppressed only about 20% of CS-0777 phosphorylation activity in human erythrocyte lysate. Immunodepletion of FN3K and FN3K-RP decreased M1 formation activity by about 25% and 50%, respectively, in human erythrocyte lysate. 3. The Michaelis constants of four human ALPs and microsomes were in the range from 10.9 μM to 32.1 μM. The ALP inhibitor, levamisole, suppressed over 50% of M1 dephosphorylation activity in liver, kidney and lung microsomes. 4. FN3K-RP is expected to take a prominent role in the phosphorylation of CS-0777 in human erythrocytes; dephosphorylation of M1 was observed in all ALPs and human tissue microsomes examined, with a similar affinity towards M1 among them.

Introduction: Cigarette smoking and oxidative stress are common risk factors for the multi-morbidities associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Elevated levels of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity and mortality. The enzyme fructosamine-3-kinase (FN3K) reduces this risk by lowering AGE levels.

Background: An impact on glycation, and possibly on diabetic complications, is attributed to fructosamine-3-kinase (FN3K) and its related protein (FN3K-RP) because they degrade Amadori compounds in vivo. Little is known about individual differences in FN3K-RP activity, which might contribute to an individual risk for diabetic complications.

Methods: An HPLC-based activity assay for FN3K-RP in erythrocytes with the substrate N-α-hippuryl-N-ε-psicosyllysine was developed.

CS-0777 is a selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor 1 modulator with potential benefits in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis. CS-0777 is a prodrug that requires phosphorylation to an active S1P analog, similar to the first-in-class S1P receptor modulator FTY720 (fingolimod). We sought to identify the kinase(s) involved in phosphorylation of CS-0777, anticipating sphingosine kinase (SPHK) 1 or 2 as likely candidates.

FN3K (fructosamine 3-kinase) is a mammalian enzyme that catalyses the phosphorylation of fructosamines, which thereby becomes unstable and detaches from proteins. The homologous mammalian enzyme, FN3K-RP (FN3K-related protein), does not phosphorylate fructosamines but ribulosamines, which are probably formed through a spontaneous reaction of amines with ribose 5-phosphate, an intermediate of the pentose-phosphate pathway and the Calvin cycle. We show in the present study that spinach leaf extracts display a substantial ribulosamine kinase activity (approx.
