The Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of the mammalian adaptor protein Crk-II contains a proline-rich insert, predicted to lie within an extended DE loop, which is dispensable for phosphopeptide binding. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, this region of the Crk-II SH2 domain was found to interact with a subset of SH3 domains, notably the Abl SH3 domain. Furthermore, this proline-rich insert was found to modify the efficiency with which Crk-II was phosphorylated by the p140(c-abl) tyrosine kinase. In vitro, the interaction of full-length non-phosphorylated Crk-II with a glutathione S-transferase-Abl SH3 domain fusion protein was very weak. However, phosphorylation of Crk-II on Tyr-221 which induces an intramolecular association with the SH2 domain, or addition of a phosphopeptide corresponding to the Crk-II Tyr-221 phosphorylation site, stimulated association of Crk-II with the Abl SH3 domain. NMR spectroscopic analysis showed that binding of the Tyr-221 phosphopeptide to the Crk SH2 domain induced a chemical shift change in Val-71, located in the proline-rich insert, indicative of a change in the structure of the proline-rich loop in response of Crk SH2-pTyr-221 interaction. These results suggest that the proline-rich insert in the Crk SH2 domain constitutes an SH3 domain-binding site that can be regulated by binding of a phosphopeptide ligand to the Crk SH2 domain.

The PDE4A (type IV) cAMP-specific, rolipram-inhibited phosphodiesterase RPDE-6 (RNPDE4A5), when transiently expressed in COS7 cells, could be complexed with the v-Src-SH3 domain expressed as a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein. RPDE-6 did not interact with GST itself. This complex was not disrupted by treatment with high NaCl concentration together with Triton X-100. Interaction was apparently determined by the N-terminal splice region of RPDE-6, as the PDE4A splice variant RPDE-39, which differs from RPDE-6 at the extreme N-terminus, failed to associate with v-Src-SH3; met26RD1 (where RD1 is rat 'dunc-like' PDE), which has the N-terminal splice region deleted, failed to associate with v-Src-SH3, and the association of RPDE-6 and v-Src-SH3 was blocked by a fusion protein formed from the N-terminal splice region. RDPE-6 showed binding to GST fusion proteins of both the intact Src kinase and an SH2-SH3 construct but did not bind to the Src-SH2 domain or to the adaptor protein Grb-2. RPDE-6 could be co-immunoprecipitated from cytosol extracts of transfected cells by using anti-Src antiserum. RPDE-6 exhibited selectivity in binding to the SH3 domains of c-Abl, Crk, Csk, Lck, Lyn, Fyn and v-Src, with binding to the SH3 regions of the Src-related tyrosyl kinases Lyn and Fyn being the most effective. The binding of RPDE-6 to the SH3 domains of Crk, Csk and Lck led to a marked reduction in PDE activity, but no change was apparent in complexes with other species. Endogenous RPDE-6 from brain, but not endogenous RPDE-39 from testis, bound to the Src-SH3 domain. We suggest that the PDE4A splice variant RPDE-6 has a propensity for interaction with selective SH3 domains, in particular those from Src and the Src-related tyrosyl kinases Lyn and Fyn. This interaction seems to be governed by alternative splicing of the PDE4A gene, because RPDE-39, a splice variant that lacks the proline-rich N-terminal splice region of RPDE-6, does not interact with these SH3 domains. It is proposed that the binding site on RPDE-6 for SH3 domains lies within the unique first 102 residues of its N-terminal splice domain, where two motifs representing Class I SH3 binding sites with selectivity for Src kinase SH3 domains can be identified and one motif for a putative Class II SH3 binding site.

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) that associates with integrin receptors and participates in extracellular matrix-mediated signal transduction events. We showed previously that the c-Src nonreceptor PTK and the Grb2 SH2/SH3 adaptor protein bound directly to FAK after fibronectin stimulation (D. D. Schlaepfer, S.K. Hanks, T. Hunter, and P. van der Geer, Nature [London] 372:786-791, 1994). Here, we present evidence that c-Src association with FAK is required for Grb2 binding to FAK. Using a tryptic phosphopeptide mapping approach, the in vivo phosphorylation of the Grb2 binding site on FAK (Tyr-925) was detected after fibronectin stimulation of NIH 3T3 cells and was constitutively phosphorylated in v-Src-transformed NIH 3T3 cells. In vitro, c-Src phosphorylated FAK Tyr-925 in a glutathione S-transferase-FAK C-terminal domain fusion protein, whereas FAK did not. Using epitope-tagged FAK constructs, transiently expressed in human 293 cells, we determined the effect of site-directed mutations on c-Src and Grb2 binding to FAK. Mutation of FAK Tyr-925 disrupted Grb2 binding, whereas mutation of the c-Src binding site on FAK (Tyr-397) disrupted both c-Src and Grb2 binding to FAK in vivo. These results support a model whereby Src-family PTKs are recruited to FAK and focal adhesions following integrin-induced autophosphorylation and exposure of FAK Tyr-397. Src-family binding and phosphorylation of FAK at Tyr-925 creates a Grb2 SH2-domain binding site and provides a link to the activation of the Ras signal transduction pathway. In Src-transformed cells, this pathway may be constitutively activated as a result of FAK Tyr-925 phosphorylation in the absence of integrin stimulation.

In human T-lymphocytes the Src family protein tyrosine kinase p59(fyn) associates with three phosphoproteins of 43, 55, and 85 kDa (pp43, pp55, and pp85). Employing a GST-Fyn-Src homology 2 (SH2) domain fusion protein pp55 was purified from lysates of Jurkat T-cells. Molecular cloning of the pp55 cDNA reveals that the pp55 gene codes for a so far nondescribed polypeptide of 359 amino acids that comprises a pleckstrin homology domain, a C-terminal SH3 domain, as well as several potential tyrosine phosphorylation sites, among which one fulfills the criteria to bind Src-like SH2 domains with high affinity. Consistent with this observation, pp55 selectively binds to isolated SH2 domains of Lck, Lyn, Src, and Fyn but not to the SH2 domains of ZAP70, Syk, Shc, SLP-76, Grb2, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and c-abl in vitro. Based on these properties the protein was termed SKAP55 (src kinase-associated phosphoprotein of 55 kDa). Northern blot analysis shows that SKAP55 mRNA is preferentially expressed in lymphatic tissues. SKAP55 is detected in resting human T-lymphocytes as a constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated protein that selectively interacts with p59(fyn). These data suggest that SKAP55 represents a novel adaptor protein likely involved in Fyn-mediated signaling in human T-lymphocytes.

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.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by expansion of a polyglutamine repeat in the HD protein huntingtin. Huntingtin's localization within the cell includes an association with cytoskeletal elements and vesicles. We previously identified a protein (HAP1) which binds to huntingtin in a glutamine repeat length-dependent manner. We now report that HAP1 interacts with cytoskeletal proteins, namely the p150 Glued subunit of dynactin and the pericentriolar protein PCM-1. Structural predictions indicate that both HAP1 and the interacting proteins have a high probability of forming coiled coils. We examined the interaction of HAP1 with p150 Glued . Binding of HAP1 to p150 Glued (amino acids 879-1150) was confirmed in vitro by binding of p150 Glued to a HAP1-GST fusion protein immobilized on glutathione-Sepharose beads. Also, HAP1 co-immunoprecipitated with p150 Glued from brain extracts, indicating that the interaction occurs in vivo . Like HAP1, p150 Glued is highly expressed in neurons in brain and both proteins are enriched in a nerve terminal vesicle-rich fraction. Double label immunofluorescence experiments in NGF-treated PC12 cells using confocal microscopy revealed that HAP1 and p150 Glued partially co-localize. These results suggest that HAP1 might function as an adaptor protein using coiled coils to mediate interactions among cytoskeletal, vesicular and motor proteins. Thus, HAP1 and huntingtin may play a role in vesicle trafficking within the cell and disruption of this function could contribute to the neuronal dysfunction and death seen in HD.

The Crk proto-oncogene product is an SH2 and SH3 domain-containing adaptor protein. We have previously demonstrated that Crk-II becomes rapidly tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to stimulation with insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and might be involved in the IGF-I receptor signalling pathway. To determine whether this involvement includes the direct interaction of Crk-II with the cytoplasmic region of the receptor, studies were performed in vitro with glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins containing various domains of Crk-II. The kinase assay in vitro showed that activated IGF-I receptors efficiently phosphorylated the GST-Crk-II fusion protein. This phosphorylation was dependent on the presence of the SH2 domain and Tyr-221 located in the spacer region between the two SH3 domains. Mutation of Tyr-221 not only prevented phosphorylation of GST-Crk in vitro, but also significantly increased the ability of GST-Crk proteins to co-precipitate activated IGF-I receptors from total cell lysates. Additional binding experiments in vitro showed that Crk-II might interact with the phosphorylated IGF-I receptor through its SH2 domain. To elucidate which region of the IGF-I receptor interacts with Crk-II, a peptide association assay was used in vitro. Different domains of the IGF-I receptor were expressed as (His)6-tagged fusion peptides, phosphorylated with activated wheat germ agglutinin-purified IGF-I receptors and tested for association with GST-Crk-II fusion proteins. Using wild-type as well as mutated peptides, we showed that the SH2 domain of Crk-II preferentially binds the peptide encoding the juxtamembrane region of the IGF-I receptor. Phosphorylation of Tyr-950 and Tyr-943 of the receptor is important for this interaction. These findings allow us to propose a model of direct interaction of Crk-II and the IGF-I receptor in vivo. On activation of the IGF-I receptor, Crk-II binds to phosphorylated tyrosine residues, especially in the juxtamembrane region. As a result of this binding, the IGF-I receptor kinase phosphorylates Tyr-221 of Crk-II, resulting in a change in intramolecular folding and binding of the SH2 domain to the phosphorylated Tyr-221, which causes rapid disassociation of the Crk-II-IGF-I receptor complex.

Activation of T and natural killer (NK) cells leads to the tyrosine phosphorylation of pp36 and to its association with several signaling molecules, including phospholipase Cgamma-1 and Grb2. Microsequencing of peptides derived from purified rat pp36 protein led to the cloning, in rat and man, of cDNA encoding a T- and NK cell-specific protein with several putative Src homology 2 domain-binding motifs. A rabbit antiserum directed against a peptide sequence from the cloned rat molecule recognized tyrosine phosphorylated pp36 from pervanadate-treated rat thymocytes. When expressed in 293T human fibroblast cells and tyrosine-phosphorylated, pp36 associated with phospholipase Cgamma-1 and Grb2. Studies with GST-Grb2 fusion proteins demonstrated that the association was specific for the Src homology 2 domain of Grb-2. Molecular cloning of the gene encoding pp36 should facilitate studies examining the role of this adaptor protein in proximal signaling events during T and NK cell activation.

pp120, a substrate of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, is a plasma membrane glycoprotein that is expressed in the hepatocyte as two spliced isoforms differing by the presence (full-length) or absence (truncated) of most of the intracellular domain including all phosphorylation sites. Co-expression of full-length pp120, but not its phosphorylation-defective isoforms, increased receptor-mediated insulin endocytosis and degradation in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. We, herein, examined whether internalization of pp120 is required to mediate its effect on insulin endocytosis. The amount of full-length pp120 expressed at the cell surface membrane, as measured by biotin labeling, markedly decreased in response to insulin only when insulin receptors were co-expressed. In contrast, when phosphorylation-defective pp120 mutants were co-expressed, the amount of pp120 expressed at the cell surface did not decrease in response to insulin. Indirect immunofluorescence analysis revealed that upon insulin treatment of cells co-expressing insulin receptors, full-length, but not truncated, pp120 co-localized with alpha-adaptin in the adaptor protein complex that anchors endocytosed proteins to clathrin-coated pits. This suggests that full-length pp120 is part of a complex of proteins required for receptor-mediated insulin endocytosis and that formation of this complex is regulated by insulin-induced pp120 phosphorylation by the receptor tyrosine kinase. In vitro GST binding assays and co-immunoprecipitation experiments in intact cells further revealed that pp120 did not bind directly to the insulin receptor and that its association with the receptor may be mediated by other cellular proteins.

A recombinant GST-Fyn-SH2 domain was used to purify proteins from lysates of pervanadate treated EL4 cells. N-terminal sequencing and molecular cloning of one of the purified polypeptides resulted in the identification of a novel adaptor protein that shares strong structural homology to the recently cloned Fyn-associated adaptor protein SKAP55. This protein was termed SKAP-HOM (SKAP55 homologue). Despite their striking homology, SKAP55 and SKAP-HOM have distinct characteristics. Thus, unlike SKAP55, which is exclusively expressed in T lymphocytes, SKAP-HOM expression is ubiquitous. Furthermore, while SKAP55 is constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated in resting human T cells, SKAP-HOM is expressed as a non-phosphorylated protein in the absence of external stimulus but becomes phosphorylated following T cell activation. In addition, SKAP-HOM does not associate with p59fyn in T cells although it represents a specific substrate for the kinase in COS cells. Finally, we demonstrate that, as previously shown for SKAP55, SKAP-HOM interacts with the recently identified polypeptide SLAP-130.
