Src homology region 2 (SH2) domain-containing phosphatase 1 (SHP-1; previously named HCP, PTP1C, SH-PTP1, and SHP) is a cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphatase that contains two SH2 domains. Recent data have demonstrated that the gene encoding SHP-1 is mutated in motheaten (mc) and viable motheaten (mc') mice resulting in autoimmune disease. More recently, SHP-1 has been shown to negatively regulate B cell antigen receptor (BCR)-initiated signaling. To elucidate potential mechanisms of SHP-1 action in BCR signal transduction, we studied proteins that interact with SHP-1 in B cells. Both anti-SHP-1 antibody and the two SH2 domains of SHP-1 expressed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins precipitated at least three phosphoproteins of approximately 75, 110, and 150 kD upon anti-immunoglobulin M stimulation of the WEHI-231 immature B cell line. Binding of SHP-1 to the 75- and 110-kD proteins appeared to be mediated mainly by the NH2-terminal SH2 domain of SHP-1, whereas both the NH2- and COOH-terminal SH2 domains are required for maximal binding to the 150-kD protein. Immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis revealed that the SHP-1-associated 75-kD protein is the hematopoietic cell-specific, SH2-containing protein SLP-76. Further, this protein-protein association was constitutively observed and stable during the early phase of BCR signaling. However, significant tyrosine phosphorylation of SLP-76 as well as of SHP-1 was observed after BCR ligation. Constitutive association of SHP-1 with SLP-76 could also be detected in normal splenic B cells. Collectively, these results suggest possible mechanisms by which SHP-1 may modulate signals delivered by BCR engagement.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a protein tyrosine phosphatase of unknown function, although increasing evidence supports a role for this phosphatase in insulin action. We have investigated the interaction of PTP1B with the insulin receptor using a PTP1B glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein with a point mutation in the enzyme's catalytic domain. This fusion protein is catalytically inactive, but the phosphatase's phosphotyrosine binding site is maintained. The activated insulin receptor was precipitated from purified receptor preparations and whole-cell lysates by the inactive PTP1B-GST, demonstrating a direct association between the insulin receptor and PTP1B. A p120 of unknown identity was also precipitated from whole-cell lysates by the PTP1B fusion protein, but IRS-1 (pp185) was not. A catalytically inactive [35S]PTP1B-fusion protein bound directly to immobilized insulin receptor kinase domains and was displaced in a concentration-dependent manner. Finally, tyrosine-phosphorylated PTP1B was precipitated from whole-cell lysates by an anti-insulin receptor antibody after insulin stimulation. The site of interaction between PTP1B and the insulin receptor was studied using phosphopeptides modeled after the receptor's kinase domain, the NPXY domain, and the COOH-terminal. Each phosphopeptide inhibited the PTP1B-GST:insulin receptor interaction. Study of mutant insulin receptors demonstrated that activation of the kinase domain is necessary for the PTP1B:insulin receptor interaction, but receptors with deletion of the NPXY domain or of the COOH-terminal can still bind to the PTP1B-GST. We conclude that PTP1B can associate directly with the activated insulin receptor at multiple different phosphotyrosine sites and that dephosphorylation by PTP1B may play a significant role in insulin receptor signal transduction.

Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a hematopoietic growth factor receptor which stimulates the proliferation of multilineage progenitor cells. It is known that IL-3 stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation while transducing a mitogenic signal. The signal transduction pathways activated by the IL-3 receptor, however, are not fully understood. In this study a protein tyrosine phosphatase has been over-expressed in the IL-3 dependent, murine myeloid progenitor cell line, 32D cl3 in order to test whether altering the levels of tyrosine phosphorylation would change IL-3 stimulated proliferation. These cells were transfected with a metal-inducible expression vector containing a rat cDNA encoding PTP1. A low basal level of rat PTP1 message and protein was detected in cells transfected with the PTP1 vector, and zinc treatment resulted in a three- to fourfold increase in the amount of PTP1 message, protein and catalytic activity. Over-expression of PTP1 resulted in a two- to threefold decrease in IL-3 stimulated proliferation. Cells over-expressing PTP1 also exhibited decreased levels of tyrosine phosphorylation; phosphorylation of the IL-3 receptor beta subunit and the Shc protein were both dramatically decreased. Thus, PTP1 over-expression negatively modulated IL-3 signal transduction. To identify potential substrates of PTP1, 32D cl3 cells were transfected with a catalytically inactive PTP1 mutant, PTP1(C/S). Three tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins of MW 140, 79 and 69 k coprecipitated with PTP1(C/S). We believe that the 140 kDa protein represents the beta subunit of the IL-3 receptor. In addition, a GST-fusion protein containing active PTP1 dephosphorylated the beta-subunit in an in vitro assay. By immunofluorescent microscopy over-expressed PTP1(C/S) co-localized largely with calnexin, an endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein. Immunofluorescent microscopy also indicated that PTP1(C/S) and the beta subunit co-localized at discrete sites at the plasma membrane and around a cytoplasmic organelle where most of the beta subunit was located. These observations suggest PTP1 over-expression may down-regulate the growth response to IL-3 through dephosphorylation of the IL-3 receptor, perhaps in an intracellular compartment, thereby inhibiting propagation of the IL-3 mitogenic signal.

The NMDA receptor has recently been found to be phosphorylated on tyrosine. To assess the possible connection between tyrosine phosphorylation of the NMDA receptor and signaling pathways in the postsynaptic cell, we have investigated the relationship between tyrosine phosphorylation and the binding of NMDA receptor subunits to the SH2 domains of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma). A glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein containing both the N- and the C-proximal SH2 domains of PLC-gamma was bound to glutathione-agarose and reacted with synaptic junctional proteins and glycoproteins. Tyrosine-phosphorylated PSD-GP180, which has been identified as the NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor, bound to the SH2-agarose beads in a phosphorylation-dependent fashion. Immunoblot analysis with antibodies specific for individual NMDA receptor subunits showed that both NR2A and NR2B subunits bound to the SH2-agarose. No binding occurred to GST-agarose lacking an associated SH2 domain, indicating that binding was specific for the SH2 domains. The binding of receptor subunits increased after the incubation of synaptic junctions with ATP and decreased after treatment of synaptic junctions with exogenous protein tyrosine phosphatase. Immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed that NR2A and NR2B were phosphorylated on tyrosine and further that tyrosine phosphorylation of each of the subunits was increased after incubation with ATP. The results demonstrate that NMDA receptor subunits NR2A and NR2B will bind to the SH2 domains of PLC-gamma and that isolated synaptic junctions contain endogenous protein tyrosine kinase(s) that can phosphorylate both NR2A and NR2B receptor subunits, and suggest that interaction of the tyrosine-phosphorylated NMDA receptor with proteins that contain SH2 domains may serve to link it to signaling pathways in the postsynaptic cell.

The Salmonella typhimurium protein tyrosine phosphatase SptP is a target of the centisome 63 type III protein secrtion system. This system is essential for the interaction of these bacteria with host cells. We have shown here by a combination of biochemical and microscopy techniques that S. typhimurium directs the translocation of SptP into cultured epithelial cells. Translocation requires the function of the secreted proteins, SipB, SipC and SipD, as strains carrying mutations in any of the genes encoding these proteins fail to translocate SptP. Microinjection of purified GST-SptP into cultured cells results in the disruption of the actin cytoskeleton and the disappearance of stress fibres. These changes are reversible, as microinjected cells regain the normal appearance of their actin cytoskeleton upon prolonged incubation. Microinjection of the catalytically active GST-SptP(C481S) protein results in changes similar to those induced by the wild-type toxin. Furthermore, microinjection of a fusion protein between GST and the first 285 amino acids of SptP also leads to identical disruption of the host cell actin cytoskeleton, indicating that the amino-terminal half of SptP is sufficient to mediate this effect. However, microinjection of a fusion protein between GST and the last 259 amino acids of SptP also disrupted the normal appearance of the cytoskeleton. These results support the hypothesis that SptP is an effector protein arranged in modular domains that may co-operate with each other to exert relate functions.

SHPS-1 is a receptor-like protein that undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation and binds SHP-2, an SH2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase, in response to insulin and other mitogens. The overexpression of wild-type SHPS-1, but not of a mutant SHPS-1 in which all four tyrosine residues in its cytoplasmic region were mutated to phenylalanine, markedly enhanced insulin-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase in Chinese hamster ovary cells that overexpress the human insulin receptor. Mutation of each tyrosine residue individually revealed that the major sites of tyrosine phosphorylation of SHPS-1 in response to insulin are Tyr449 and Tyr473. In addition, mutation of either Tyr449 or Tyr473 abolished the insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of SHPS-1 and its association with SHP-2. Surface plasmon resonance analysis showed that glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins containing the NH2-terminal or COOH-terminal SH2 domains of SHP-2 bound preferentially to phosphotyrosyl peptides corresponding to the sequences surrounding Tyr449 or Tyr473, respectively, of SHPS-1. Furthermore, phosphotyrosyl peptides containing Tyr449 or Tyr473 were effective substrates for the phosphatase activity of recombinant SHP-2 in vitro. Together, these results suggest that insulin may induce phosphorylation of SHPS-1 at Tyr449 and Tyr473, to which SHP-2 then binds through its NH2-terminal and COOH-terminal SH2 domains, respectively. SHPS-1 may play a crucial role both in the recruitment of SHP-2 from the cytosol to a site near the plasma membrane and in increasing its catalytic activity, thereby positively regulating the RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascade in response to insulin.

The LAR family protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), including LAR, PTP delta, and PTP sigma, are transmembrane proteins composed of a cell adhesion molecule-like ectodomain and two cytoplasmic catalytic domains: active D1 and inactive D2. We performed a yeast two-hybrid screen with the first catalytic domain of PTP sigma (PTP sigma-D1) as bait to identify interacting regulatory proteins. Using this screen, we identified the second catalytic domain of PTP delta (PTP delta-D2) as an interactor of PTP sigma-D1. Both yeast two-hybrid binding assays and coprecipitation from mammalian cells revealed strong binding between PTP sigma-D1 and PTP delta-D2, an association which required the presence of the wedge sequence in PTP sigma-D1, a sequence recently shown to mediate D1-D1 homodimerization in the phosphatase RPTP alpha. This interaction was not reciprocal, as PTP delta-D1 did not bind PTP sigma-D2. Addition of a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-PTP delta-D2 fusion protein (but not GST alone) to GST-PTP sigma-D1 led to approximately 50% inhibition of the catalytic activity of PTP sigma-D1, as determined by an in vitro phosphatase assay against p-nitrophenylphosphate. A similar inhibition of PTP sigma-D1 activity was obtained with coimmunoprecipitated PTP delta-D2. Interestingly, the second catalytic domains of LAR (LAR-D2) and PTP sigma (PTP sigma-D2), very similar in sequence to PTP delta-D2, bound poorly to PTP sigma-D1. PTP delta-D1 and LAR-D1 were also able to bind PTP delta-D2, but more weakly than PTP sigma-D1, with a binding hierarchy of PTP sigma-D1 >> PTP delta-D1 > LAR-D1. These results suggest that association between PTP sigma-D1 and PTP delta-D2, possibly via receptor heterodimerization, provides a negative regulatory function and that the second catalytic domains of this and likely other receptor PTPs, which are often inactive, may function instead to regulate the activity of the first catalytic domains.

SHP-1 protein tyrosine phosphatase is a critical negative regulator of mitogenic signaling, as demonstrated by the heightened growth responses to hematopoietic growth factors in hematopoietic cells of motheaten mice, which lack functional SHP-1 expression due to mutations in the SHP-1 gene. The mitogenic signaling molecules dephosphorylated by SHP-1 have not been fully identified. We detected two proteins (p32/p30) that are hyperphosphorylated in a DA3/erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) cell line that expresses a mutant containing the SHP-1 C-terminus that suppresses the function of the endogenous phosphatase and induces hyperproliferative responses to interleukin-3 (IL-3) and Epo. Hyperphosphorylated p32/p30 are also detected in motheaten hematopoietic cells, demonstrating an association of p32/p30 hyperphosphorylation with SHP-1-deficiency and growth factor-hyperresponsiveness. The hyperphosphorylated p32/30 associate with SHP-1 via its C-terminus, because they coimmunoprecipitate with the phosphatase and the C-terminal mutant and they bind in vitro to a synthetic peptide of the mutant but not the GST fusion proteins of SHP-1 SH2 domains. Induction of p32/p30 phosphorylation by IL-3 or Epo occurs mainly at 2 to 18 hours poststimulation in the DA3/EpoR cell line, indicating p32/p30 as novel signaling molecules during cell cycle progression. These data demonstrate a function for the SHP-1 C-terminus in recruiting potential substrates p32/p30 and suggest that SHP-1 may regulates mitogenic signaling by dephosphorylating p32/p30.

Fusion proteins are frequently used in the functional characterization of newly discovered proteins and to identify interacting partners. In our study of hPTP1E, a cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphatase, we used glutathione S-transferase (GST)-fusion protein of the second PDZ domain to identify interacting peptide motifs by peptide phage display. A consensus motif G X X V W L G was identified and found to be specific for binding to GST-PDZ2 as determined by ELISA, peptide displacement and by protein overlay. However, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), no interaction of the peptide was observed with PDZ2 alone. In co-precipitation experiments using the consensus peptide cross-linked to Affi-Gel, only GST-PDZ2 (but not PDZ2 or GST alone) could be precipitated. These data suggest that there is a potential for identification of artifacts when using fusion proteins in peptide phage display, and one should exercise caution in interpreting these results. It is critical that the interaction be verified using a second, independent system.

Methods for the rapid separation of phosphopeptide isomers (peptides with the same sequence but with phosphates on different residues) were developed using capillary zone electrophoresis with ultraviolet (CZE-UV) detection. Uncoated, cationic and neutral capillaries were used with both acidic and basic peptides. These methods enabled the assay of several protein kinases (mitogen activated protein kinase, protein kinase A, GST-tyrosine kinase) and phosphatases (acid, alkaline, and protein tyrosine phosphatase) and the determination of the sites of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Incubations of nonphosphorylated or phosphorylated peptide with kinases or phosphatases took place directly in the instrument's autosampler and were monitored over several hours using CZE-UV.
