X-linked agammaglobulinemia, a B cell immunodeficiency, is caused by mutations in the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) gene. The absence of a functional Btk protein leads to a failure of B cell differentiation and antibody production. B cell receptor stimulation leads to the phosphorylation of the Btk protein and it is, therefore, likely that Btk is involved in B cell receptor signaling. As a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, Btk is likely to interact with several proteins within the context of a signal transduction pathway. To understand such interactions, we have generated glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins corresponding to different domains of the human Btk protein. We have identified a 120-kD protein present in human B cells as being bound by the SH3 domain of Btk and which, after B cell receptor stimulation, is one of the major substrates of tyrosine phosphorylation. We have shown that this 120-kD protein is the protein product of c-cbl, a protooncogene, which is known to be phosphorylated in response to T cell receptor stimulation and to interact with several other tyrosine kinases. Association of the SH3 domain of Btk with p120cbl provides evidence for an analogous role for p120cbl in B cell signaling pathways. The p120cbl protein is the first identified ligand of the Btk SH3 domain.

The Philadelphia chromosome translocation generates a chimeric oncogene, BCR/ABL which causes chronic myelogenous leukemia. Two different fusion proteins can be produced, p190BCR/ABL and p210BCR/ABL, depending on the location of the breakpoint in BCR. Although the ABL tyrosine kinase activity of the resulting oncoprotein is essential for transformation, the exact functional contribution of BCR to transformation is unclear. A novel oncogene containing ABL is formed by the (9;12) translocation which fuses part of the ets-family member TEL to c-ABL in patients with acute leukemia. In an effort to compare the biological effects of various ABL oncogenes, we transformed two different factor-dependent murine hematopoietic cell lines with cDNA's encoding p210BCR/ABL, p190BCR/ABL, or TEL/ABL. Transfection of each of the three activated ABL oncogenes resulted in rapid emergence of growth factor-independence, and 2-4 sublines from each cell line with each oncogene were further studied. Each oncogene induced an increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins and autophosphorylation of the oncoprotein itself. Overall, the pattern of increased tyrosine phosphorylation was similar in the cell lines, suggesting that many of the major substrates were identical. We specifically examined a series of proteins known to be p210BCR/ABL substrates, including rasGAP, Shc, SH-PTP2, SH-PTP1, CRK-L, CBL, paxillin, and STATs, and found that each were also tyrosine phosphorylated in response to p190BCR/ABL and TEL/ABL. These results suggest that the function of BCR can be largely replaced by the unrelated protein TEL with regards to transformation of murine hematopoietic cell lines to factor-independence, and support the hypothesis that a major contribution of both fusion partners is to activate the ABL tyrosine kinase.

The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) translocation generates a chimeric tyrosine kinase oncogene, BCR/ABL, which causes chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and a type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In primary samples from virtually all patients with CML or Ph+ALL, the CRKL adapter protein is tyrosine phosphorylated and physically associated with p210(BCR/ABL). CRKL has one SH2 domain and two SH3 domains and is structurally related to c-CRK-II (CRK) and the v-Crk oncoprotein. We have previously shown that CRKL, but not the related adapter protein c-CRK, is tyrosine phosphorylated in cell lines transformed by BCR/ABL, and that CRKL binds to BCR/ABL through the CRKL-SH3 domains. Furthermore, the CRKL-SH2 domain has been shown to bind one or more cellular proteins, one of which is p120(CBL). Here we demonstrate that another cellular protein linked to BCR/ABL through the CRKL-SH2 domain is p130(CAS). p130(CAS) was found to be tyrosine phosphorylated and associated with CRKL in BCR/ABL expressing cell lines and in samples obtained from CML and ALL patients, but not in samples from controls. In both normal and BCR/ABL transformed cells, p130(CAS) was detected in focal adhesion-like structures, as was BCR/ABL. In normal cells, the focal adhesion proteins tensin, p125(FAK), and paxillin constitutively associated with p130(CAS). However, in BCR/ABL transformed cells, the interaction between p130(CAS) and tensin was disrupted, while the associations between p130(CAS), p125(FAK), and paxillin were unaffected. These results suggest that the BCR/ABL oncogene could alter the function of p130(CAS) in at least three ways: tyrosine phosphorylation, inducing constitutive binding of CRKL to a domain in p130(CAS) containing Tyr-X-X-Pro motifs (substrate domain), and disrupting the normal interaction of p130(CAS) with the focal adhesion protein tensin. These alterations in the structure of signaling proteins in focal adhesion like structures could contribute to the known adhesion abnormalities in CML cells.

Integrin crosslinking on human B cells induces tyrosine phosphorylation of a set of proteins ranging from 105 to 130 kDa, among which is the focal adhesion kinase p125FAK. Here we show that the c-CBL protooncogene product p120c-CBL is a component of these substrates. beta 1 integrin stimulation of p120c-CBL phosphorylation was observed in both transformed and normal human B cells, and was inhibited by prior treatment of cells with cytochalasin B, which disrupts the actin network. In contrast, tyrosine phosphorylation of p120c-CBL following crosslinking of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) was not affected by cytochalasin B. Integrin stimulation of the promegakaryocytic cell line MO7e also led to a cytoskeleton-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of p120c-CBL. In MO7e cells, this stimulation was induced by ligation of either beta 1 or beta 2 integrin, whereas only by ligation of beta 1 integrin in B cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation of p120c-CBL links phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K) with the BCR signaling machinery. Although the p85 subunit of PI-3K was increased in p120c-CBL immunoprecipitates from BCR-stimulated B cells, this association was only minimally increased by beta 1 integrin ligation. The function of p120c-CBL remains unknown; however, its interactions in vitro and in vivo with Src homology 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3) domain-containing proteins suggest that p120c-CBL has a significant function in signal transduction pathways, and therefore may play a role in integrin signaling in lymphoid and hematopoietic cells.

The Philadelphia chromosome, detected in virtually all cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), is formed by a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 that fuses BCR-encoded sequences upstream of exon 2 of c-ABL. The BCR-ABL fusion creates a gene whose protein product, p210BCR-ABL, has been implicated as the cause of the disease. Although ABL kinase activity has been shown to be required for the transforming abilities of BCR-ABL and numerous substrates of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase have been identified, the requirement of most of these substrates for the transforming function of BCR-ABL is unknown. In this study we mapped a direct binding site of the c-CBL proto-oncogene to the SH2 domain of BCR-ABL. This interaction only occurs under conditions where c-CBL is tyrosine-phosphorylated. Despite the direct interaction of c-CBL with the SH2 domain of BCR-ABL, deletion of the SH2 domain of BCR-ABL did not result in an alteration in the complex formation of BCR-ABL and c-CBL, suggesting that another site of direct interaction between c-CBL and BCR-ABL exists or that another protein mediates an indirect interaction of c-CBL and BCR-ABL. Since CRKL, an SH2, SH3 domain-containing adapter protein is known to bind directly to BCR-ABL and also binds to tyrosine-phosphorylated c-CBL, the ability of CRKL to mediate a complex between c-CBL and BCR-ABL was examined.

T cell receptor zeta (TcRzeta)/CD3 ligation initiates a signaling cascade that involves src kinases p56(lck) and zeta-associated protein 70, leading to the phosphorylation of substrates such as TcRzeta, Vav, SH2-domain-containing leukocyte protein 76 (SLP-76), cbl, and p120/130. FYN binding protein (FYB or p120/130) associates with p59(fyn), the TcRzeta/CD3 complex, and becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to receptor ligation. In this study, we report the cDNA cloning of human and murine FYB and show that it is restricted in expression to T cells and myeloid cells and possesses an overall unique hydrophilic sequence with several tyrosine-based motifs, proline-based type I and type II SH3 domain binding motifs, several putative lysine/glutamic acid-rich nuclear localization motifs, and a SH3-like domain. In addition to binding the src kinase p59(fyn), FYB binds specifically to the hematopoietic signaling protein SLP-76, an interaction mediated by the SLP-76 SH2 domain. In keeping with this, expression of FYB augmented interleukin 2 secretion from a T cell hybridoma, DC27.10, in response to TcRzeta/CD3 ligation. FYB is therefore a novel hematopoietic protein that acts as a component of the FYN and SLP-76 signaling cascades in T cells.

The BCR/ABL oncogene encodes an activated tyrosine kinase that causes human chronic myelogenous leukemia. The mechanism of transformation, however, is complex and not well understood. One of the important contributions of BCR to transformation is believed to be dimerization or oligomerization of ABL, thereby activating ABL tyrosine kinase activity. We reasoned that if ABL was dimerized through other mechanisms, activation of the tyrosine kinase activity should also result, and the activated kinase may also be transforming. Erythropoietin is known to activate its receptor by causing dimerization, and therefore a synthetic oncogene was created by linking the extracytoplasmic and transmembrane domains of the EPO receptor with c-ABL. This chimeric receptor was stably expressed in Ba/F3 cells and, in the absence of EPO, had no detectable biological effect on the cells. EPO, however, induced a rapid, dose-dependent activation of ABL tyrosine kinase activity and phosphorylation of several cellular proteins. The major target proteins have been identified, and are very similar to the known substrates of BCR/ABL, including Shc, CBL, CRKL, and several proteins in the cytoskeleton. EPO treatment also resulted in biological effects that were remarkably similar to those of BCR/ABL, including improved viability, altered integrin function, and a weak mitogenic signal. The biological effects were in part dose-dependent, in that low EPO concentrations enhanced viability but did not cause proliferation. At high EPO doses, kinase activation was maximal, and a mitogenic effect was also revealed. In nude mice, Ba/F3 cells expressing this chimeric receptor did not cause detectable disease without administration of pharmacologic doses of EPO. If EPO was given intraperitoneally 5 days a week, however, a dose-dependent lethal leukemia resulted. This ligand-regulatable oncogene mimics some of the biological effects of BCR/ABL, and analysis of ABL mutants in this system will be useful to dissect the signaling pathways that cause CML.

The activation of growth factor receptors and receptors coupled to heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) can increase mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activity in many cells. Previously, we demonstrated that the activation of G-protein-coupled P2Y2 receptors by extracellular ATP and UTP stimulated MAP (p42 ERK2) kinase by a mechanism that was dependent on the elevation of [Ca2+]i and the activation of related adhesion focal tyrosine kinase (RAFTK) (also called PYK2, CAKbeta, and CADTK) and protein kinase C (PKC). Here, we examine further the signaling cascade between the P2Y2 receptor and MAP kinase. MAP kinase was transiently activated by exposure of PC12 cells to UTP. UTP, ionomycin, and phorbol ester (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) increased MAP kinase activity and also promoted the tyrosine phosphorylation of RAFTK, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, SHC, and p120(cbl). Down-regulation of PKC and inhibition of the elevation of [Ca2+]i, conditions that block the activation of MAP kinase, also blocked the increases in the tyrosine phosphorylation of RAFTK and the EGF receptor. AG1478, a tyrphostin selective for the EGF receptor, reduced the activation of MAP kinase, the tyrosine phosphorylation of SHC, the association of Grb2 with SHC, and the tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGF receptor and p120(cbl) but did not block the tyrosine phosphorylation of RAFTK. The similar effects of UTP, ionomycin, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on these signaling proteins demonstrate that the two signaling molecules from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis ([Ca2+]i, from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production, and diacylglycerol) can individually initiate the activation of MAP kinase in an EGF receptor-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that the P2Y2 receptor-mediated transactivation of the EGF receptor occurs at a point downstream of RAFTK and indicate that the EGF receptor is required for P2Y2 receptor-mediated MAP kinase activation. Although P2Y2 and EGF receptors may both activate a similar multiprotein signaling cascade immediately upstream of MAP kinase, the P2Y2 receptor appears to uniquely utilize [Ca2+]i, PKC, and, subsequently, RAFTK.

It is currently well established that chronic myelogeneous leukemia (CML) results from the activation of multiple signalling pathways by the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) and its molecular counterpart, the BCR-ABL oncogene. Deletion and site-directed mutagenesis experiments have determined the critical regions of the oncogene for its interaction with major signalling pathways but the roles of the latter in the resulting leukemic phenotypes are not well understood. Several major signalling pathways shown to be activated by BCR-ABL, including RAS, MYC, JUN, STAT, PI-3K and NF-KB are briefly discussed in this paper. Other signalling molecules are also clearly involved, including p62-DOK, p95-VAV, CRK-L, p12O-CBL and focal adhesion proteins. Recent experimental evidence also indicates that negative regulatory proteins could be activated in cells expressing BCR-ABL and their inhibition during the course of the disease could play a role in the progression towards the acute phase. We finally discuss the evidence indicating that at least in experimental systems BCR-ABL has a clear anti-apoptotic activity and that BCR-ABL achieves this effect by acting upstream of the procaspase-3.

We have investigated the interaction between Cbl and the Src-related tyrosine kinase Fyn. Fyn was observed to be constitutively associated with Cbl in lysates of several different cell types including the interleukin-3-dependent murine myeloid cell line 32Dcl3, and the prolactin-dependent rat thymoma cell line Nb2. Binding studies indicated that Cbl could bind to glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins encoding the unique, Src homology domain 3 (SH3), and SH2 domains of Fyn, Hck, or Lyn. Fusion proteins encoding either the SH3 or SH2 domains of Fyn bound to Cbl as effectively as the fusion protein encoding the unique, SH3, and SH2 domains of Fyn. The Fyn SH2 domain bound to both tyrosine-phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated Cbl, implying that this interaction might be phosphotyrosine-independent. Binding of the Fyn SH2 domain to Cbl was not disrupted by the addition of phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine, or phosphothreonine. A GST fusion protein encoding the proline-rich region of Cbl bound to Fyn present in a total cell lysate. Far Western blot analysis also indicated that the SH3 domain of Fyn bound preferentially to the proline-rich region of Cbl. The addition of [gamma-32P]ATP to either anti-Cbl immunoprecipitates or anti-Fyn immunoprecipitates resulted in the phosphorylation of both Cbl and Fyn as demonstrated by immunoprecipitation of the phosphorylated proteins with specific antisera. Fyn directly phosphorylated a GST fusion protein containing the C-terminal region of Cbl (GST-CBL-LZIP). In contrast, immunoprecipitated JAK2 was not able to phosphorylate this same region of Cbl. The GST-CBL-LZIP fusion protein contains a binding site for the SH2 domain of the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, which mapped to Tyr731, which is present in the sequence YEAM. Mutation of Tyr731 in GST-CBL-LZIP eliminated binding of the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and substantially reduced the phosphorylation of this fusion protein by Fyn, despite the presence of four other tyrosine residues in this fusion protein. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that Cbl represents a substrate for Src-like kinases that are activated in response to the engagement of cell surface receptors, and that Src-like kinases are responsible for the phosphorylation of a tyrosine residue in Cbl that may regulate activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.
