Fluid flow triggers signal transducing events, modulates gene expression, and remodels cytoskeletal structures in vascular endothelial cells (ECs). However, the primary steps of mechanoreception are still unknown. We have recently reported that a glycoprotein is rapidly tyrosine-phosphorylated in bovine ECs exposed to fluid flow or osmotic shock. Here were cloned a 3.4 kb cDNA encoding this protein and found that this was bovine PECAM-1. The tyrosine-phosphorylation level of PECAM-1 immunoprecipitated from mechanically stimulated bovine or human ECs increased. The PECAM-1 phosphorylation was not induced by reagents that triggered Ca2+ mobilization in ECs. An autophosphorylatable band comigrating with c-Src was co-immunoprecipitated with anti-PECAM-1, and c-Src phosphorylated and bound to a GST fusion protein containing the PECAM-1 cytoplasmic domain. A spliced mRNA form lacking amino acid residues 703-721 in the cytoplasmic domain was also expressed in bovine ECs, c-Src neither phosphorylated nor bound to the fusion protein containing the spliced PECAM-1 cytoplasmic domain which lacked one (Tyr 713) of the six tyrosine residues in the PECAM-1 cytoplasmic domain. These results suggest that the YSEI motif containing Tyr 713 is the Src phosphorylation/binding site. Our study is the first demonstration of inducible tyrosine phosphorylation of PECAM-1 and suggests involvement of PECAM-1 and Src family kinases in the sensing/signal transduction of mechanical stimuli in ECs.

Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is 130-kDa member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily that localizes to cell-cell borders of confluent endothelial cells and has been shown to play a role in the control of endothelial sheet migration and leukocyte transmigration through the endothelium. The cytoplasmic tail plays an important role in the modulation of PECAM-1 function. Mutation of tyrosine 663 or 686 in the cytoplasmic tail reduces phosphorylation and mutation of 686 is associated with a reduction in PECAM-1-mediated inhibition of cell migration (1). We have previously noted that these two tyrosine residues are surrounded by consensus sequences for Src homology 2 (SH2) domain binding (1, 2), and the experiments presented explore the potential for PECAM-1-Src and PECAM-1-SH2 domain interactions. PECAM-1 is more highly phosphorylated in endothelial cells overexpressing c-Src, and in in vitro kinase assays, c-Src can phosphorylate a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-PECAM cytoplasmic tail fusion protein. The phosphorylated fusion protein associates with the bead-bound c-Src. This association appears to be mediated by Src-SH2 domain, because PECAM-1 can be precipitated by a GST-Src-SH2 affinity matrix. The binding to the GST-Src-SH2 affinity matrix correlates directly with the level of PECAM-1 phosphorylation, because more PECAM-1 is precipitated from c-Src overexpressors and from wild-type rather than Tyr663 --> Phe and Tyr686 --> Phe mutant PECAM-1 expressors. Yet unidentified phosphoproteins can also be coimmunoprecipitated with wild-type but not mutant PECAM-1. Finally, we note the similarity of the PECAM-1 cytoplasmic domain sequence to the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif. Our data begin to delineate how tyrosines 663 and 686 may play a role in mediating PECAM-1 signal transduction.

Engagement of beta1 integrins in terminally differentiated human B cell lines, such as ARH-77, leads to prominent tyrosine phosphorylation of the p130 Crk-associated substrate (Cas). Cas regulates the assembly of several SH2 and SH3 domain-containing proteins into signaling complexes, which are potentially involved in the propagation of downstream signals. We demonstrate here that immunoprecipitated Cas from beta1 integrin-stimulated ARH-77 cells was associated with tyrosine kinase and phosphatase activities and that integrin ligation led to the recruitment of at least p59(Fyn) tyrosine kinase and SHP2 tyrosine phosphatase in Cas immune complexes. Cotransfection studies in COS-7 cells further indicated that Fyn/Cas physical interaction and Fyn-mediated Cas phosphorylation required amino acids 638-889 in the C-terminal region of Cas. This sequence contains both c-Src SH2 and SH3 domain-binding motifs. In vitro binding studies using glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins derived from the SH2 or SH3 domains of Fyn suggested that both Fyn domains can participate in Fyn/Cas interaction. These data implicate Fyn and SHP2 as potential modulators of Cas signaling complexes in B cells.

We report here on the identification of phosphopetide ligands which interact with the Src-homology 2 (SH2) domain of the adapter protein Grb2 by screening a random peptide library established on phage. Phage were phosphorylated in vitro at an invariant tyrosine residue by a mixture of phosphotyrosine kinases c-Src, Blk and Syk. Selection of binding motifs was carried out by interaction of the library with the recombinant SH2 domain of Grb2 expressed as a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein. Several subsequent cycles of selection led to the enrichment of phage which bound to the GST-Grb2 SH2 domain only when previously phosphorylated. Sequence analysis revealed that all of the selected phage displayed peptides with the consensus motif Y*M/ENW (Y* denotes phosphotyrosine). One of these peptides, bearing the Y*ENW motif, bound the Grb2 SH2 domain with a threefold higher affinity than the peptide motif Y*VNV derived from the natural ligand Shc. Thus, phage display can be employed to rapidly identify high affinity ligands to SH2 domains.

The adaptor protein Shc was prepared as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins (GST-Shc) and used as in vitro substrate for c-Src. Since phosphotyrosine-binding domain of Shc has been shown to bind phosphatidyl-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) [Zhou et al. (1995) Nature 378, 584-592], effect of PtdIns(4,5)P2 on the phosphorylation of GST-Shc by c-Src was examined. PtdIns(4,5)P2 stimulated the phosphorylation of GST-Shc without any effect on the c-Src activity as judged by both its autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of exogenous substrate, Cdc2 peptide. On the other hand, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate but not phosphatidylcholine stimulated the c-Src activity itself. Km for GST-Shc in the presence of 1 microM PtdIns(4,5)P2 was calculated to be 90 nM. The PtdIns(4,5)P2-dependent phosphorylation of GST-Shc was inhibited by a GST-fusion protein containing the phosphotyrosine-binding domain of Shc. These results suggest that PtdIns(4,5)P2 can act as a regulator of phosphorylation of Shc by c-Src through its binding to Shc.

Sam68 (Src-associated in mitosis) is an SH3 (Src-homology 3), SH2 (Src-homology 2), and RNA binding protein which associates with and is tyrosine phosphorylated by wild-type and activated forms of c-Src in a mitosis-specific manner. We now show that Sam68 immunoprecipitated from either HeLa S3 or NIH3T3 cells is phosphorylated on threonine residues exclusively during mitosis as well as on serine residues during both interphase and mitosis. Recombinant Sam68, expressed as a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein, was phosphorylated on threonine and serine residues after incubation with mitotic lysates several-fold more extensively than after incubation with unsynchronized lysates. Cdc2 was identified as the kinase responsible for the mitotic threonine phosphorylation by (1) immunodepletion of the mitotic Sam68 kinase from cell lysates with anti-Cdc2 antibodies, (2) inhibition of Sam68 phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo by the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor olomoucine and (3) phosphorylation of Sam68 by purified Cdc2. These data demonstrate that Sam68 is a direct target of Cdc2 and may therefore mediate some of its biological effects during mitosis.

Neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) has been shown previously to interact with alpha1-syntrophin in the dystrophin complex of skeletal muscle. In the present study, we have examined whether nNOS also interacts with caveolin-3 in skeletal muscle. nNOS and caveolin-3 are coimmunoprecipitated from rat skeletal muscle homogenates by antibodies directed against either of the two proteins. Synthetic peptides corresponding to the membrane-proximal caveolin-3 residues 65-84 and 109-130 and homologous caveolin-1 residues 82-101 and 135-156 potently inhibit the catalytic activity of purified, recombinant nNOS. Purified nNOS also binds to a glutathione S-transferase-caveolin-1 fusion protein in in vitro binding assays. In vitro binding is completely abolished by preincubation of nNOS with either of the two caveolin-3 inhibitory peptides. Interactions between nNOS and caveolin-3, therefore, appear to be direct and to involve two distinct caveolin scaffolding/inhibitory domains. Other caveolin-interacting enzymes, including endothelial nitric-oxide synthase and the c-Src tyrosine kinase, are also potently inhibited by each of the four caveolin peptides. Inhibitory interactions mediated by two different caveolin domains may thus be a general feature of enzyme docking to caveolin proteins in plasmalemmal caveolae.

p190 RhoGAP is a 190-kDa protein that stably associates with p120 RasGAP and regulates actin dynamics through members of the Rho family of small GTPases. Previous studies have indicated a direct relationship between levels of p190 tyrosine phosphorylation, the extent and kinetics of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced actin rearrangements, and EGF-induced cell cycle progression, suggesting that p190 links Ras-mediated mitogenic signaling with signaling through the actin cytoskeleton. Determining which tyrosine residues in p190 are phosphorylated, what factors regulate phosphorylation of these sites, and what effect tyrosine phosphorylation has on p190 function is key to understanding the role(s) that p190 may play in these processes. To begin investigating these questions, we used biochemical approaches to characterize the number and relative levels of in vivo-phosphorylated tyrosine residues on endogenous p190 from C3H10T1/2 murine fibroblasts. Only two tryptic phosphopeptides containing phosphotyrosine (p-Tyr), a major site, identified as Y1105, and a minor, unidentified site, were detected. Phosphorylation of Y1105, but not the minor site, was modulated in vivo to a greater extent by overexpression of c-Src than by the EGF receptor and was efficiently catalyzed by c-Src in vitro, indicating that Y1105 is a selective and preferential target of c-Src both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro and in vivo coprecipitation analysis using glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins containing wild-type and Y1105F variants of the p190 middle domain, variants of full-length p190 ectopically expressed in COS-7 cells, and endogenous p190 and p120 in C3H10T1/2 cells revealed that p190 could bind to p120 in the presence and absence of p190 tyrosine phosphorylation. p-Tyr-independent complexes comprised 10 to 20% of the complexes formed in the presence of p-Tyr. Mutation of Y1105 from Tyr to Phe resulted in complete loss of p-Tyr-dependent complex formation, indicating that p-Y1105 was the sole p-Tyr residue mediating binding to p120. These studies describe a specific mechanism by which c-Src can regulate p190-p120 association and also document a significant role for p-Tyr-independent means of p190-p120 binding.

The retroviral Gag-like protein p58gag expressed in a highly metastatic ascites rat mammary adenocarcinoma has been implicated in cell surface changes contributing to xenotransplantability. p58gag is present in the cells in a plasma membrane- and microfilament-associated signal transduction particle containing Src and is phosphorylated on tyrosine. Overlay analyses and affinity chromatography with glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins of Src homology-3 (SH3) domains showed direct binding of the Src but not the Crk SH3 domain to p58gag. This association was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation of partially purified p58gag from ascites cell lysates with platelet Src. Further, a GST-p58gag fusion protein bound full length c-Src from either platelets or c-Src-expressing insect cells. The GST-p58gag fusion protein, but not GST, was phosphorylated by platelet or insect cell-expressed c-Src, but not by a kinase negative c-Src variant. The binding of GST-p58gag to c-Src was almost completely abolished by a 50-fold excess of the GST-SH3 domain of Src, and a parallel decrease in tyrosine phosphorylation of p58gag was observed. These results demonstrate that p58gag is tyrosine-phosphorylated as a consequence of its specific association with c-Src via its SH3 domain. These observations suggest a mechanism by which Gag proteins may contribute to retroviral maturation or pathogenesis through binding and relocalization of SH3 domain-containing proteins such as Src-like tyrosine kinases to sites of association of microfilaments with the plasma membrane.

The Src homology 3 (SH3) domain, originally identified in v-Crk, plays an important role in signal transduction. The comparative study with c-src has revealed that v-src oncogene of Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus has three point mutations in its SH3 domain and one in the upstream of SH3. To assess the role of these mutations, each of the single mutations was introduced into c-Src by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis and its effect on cell transformation was examined. While variant Src proteins that carry each one of single mutations could not transform cells, double mutation at positions 95 and 117 converted c-Src to be oncogenic and active in kinase. An additional mutation at position 124 together with one at 95 and 117 further activated Src kinase. By use of GST-fusion forms of v-Src SH3 and c-Src SH3, we found that these mutations in SH3 suppressed the binding of SH3 with c-Src protein, possibly with a linker region, while v-SrcSH3 retained the ability to bind a subset of cellular protein to the level similar to those of c-SrcSH3. Taken together, our results suggest that point mutations accumulated in SH3 region can activate, in concert, Src kinase by relaxing the interaction between SH3 and the linker region and subsequently convert Src to be oncogenic.
