Ligation of CD3/TCR on T-cells induces transient activation of lymphoid MAP-2 kinase (MAP-2K), a 43 kDa serine kinase which itself is a substrate of an unidentified tyrosine kinase (pp43). The reversibility of the MAP-2K response agrees with removal of tyrosine phosphates from pp43. Since both activity as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of MAP-2K could be prolonged by Na3VO4, a phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, we studied the effect of the common CD45 isoform, which is a member of the CD45 phosphatase family, on MAP-2K activity in vivo and in vitro. We demonstrate the ability of purified CD45 phosphatase to remove tyrosine phosphates from partially purified lymphoid MAP-2K. Utilizing the approach of heterologous receptor aggregation, we also showed that CD45 could inhibit the induction of MAP-2K activity in intact Jurkat cells during CD3 or CD3 + CD4 stimulation. We therefore suggest that this phosphatase may control the activity of lymphoid MAP-2K in vivo.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) treatment is effective in preventing or delaying the onset of various genetic and induced disorders of mice and rats. Associated with the beneficial therapeutic effects exerted by action of this steroid is the development of hepatomegaly. To determine whether the changes associated with hepatomegaly also involve alterations in activities of tissue enzymes, we evaluated the effects of DHEA (0.45% in food, w/w) on hepatic protein kinases, phosphatases, and lipogenic enzymes in mice of various strains. The rates of fatty acid and cholesterol syntheses also were evaluated. DHEA administration resulted in profound changes in the sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns of endogenous radiophosphorylated proteins obtained by incubation of liver homogenates with (gamma-32P]ATP. These changes were dependent upon the medium used for homogenization. Thus, when homogenates of liver tissue of DHEA-treated mice were prepared in Tris buffer containing sucrose (0.25 M) there was a marked decrease in phosphorylation of the proteins of relative molecular weight approximately 116,000 (Mr approximately 116,000), approximately 82,000, approximately 80,000, approximately 58,000, approximately 56,000, approximately 48,000, approximately 34,000, and approximately 31,000 compared with controls. With liver homogenates of DHEA-treated mice prepared in Tris buffer alone, there was a marked increase in phosphorylation of the proteins of Mr approximately 70,000, approximately 49,000, approximately 34,000, approximately 31,000, and 28,000 compared with controls. Moreover, the specific activity of kinases for endogenous protein acceptors in liver of control mice was higher than that in liver of DHEA-treated animals. The specific activities of casein kinase, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and cGMP-dependent protein kinase remained unchanged with DHEA treatment, but the specific activity of histone kinase was increased approximately 30%. Long-term administration of DHEA also was associated with increases in the specific activities of liver AMPase and GTPase (approximately two times), but not of other nucleotidases, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, or phosphotyrosine phosphatase. The activity of hepatic NADP-linked malic enzyme was increased significantly (two to three times) by DHEA treatment of female mice of three different strains, but was unchanged in male C57BL/6 mice. The specific activities of hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase, and ATP-citrate lyase were not affected significantly by DHEA treatment of mice. The rate of hepatic lipogenesis, determined by incorporation of tritium from 3H2O into fatty acids, was decreased approximately 70% in DHEA-treated mice, while the rate of cholesterol synthesis was increased approximately 44% compared with controls.

Several growth factors and mitogens have been shown to activate the proto-oncogene product Raf-1 protein kinase in murine fibroblasts, apparently through a direct agonist-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the Raf-1 protein. We investigated the possibility that insulin could also activate the Raf-1 kinase, since its receptor also contains an intrinsic insulin-activated protein tyrosine kinase activity. In several cell lines expressing relatively large numbers of insulin receptors, insulin rapidly stimulated the phosphorylation of immunoreactive Raf-1 protein. In H35 cells, a line of well differentiated rat hepatoma cells, the effect of insulin was maximal by 6 min and at 7 nM insulin and occurred normally in cells virtually completely depleted of protein kinase C activity. The insulin-stimulated increase in Raf-1 protein phosphorylation occurred concurrently with a 3-fold increase in Raf-1 protein kinase activity. However, phosphoamino acid analysis showed that only phosphoserine and a trace of phosphothreonine were present in the Raf-1 protein after insulin stimulation of the cells. This was true even when investigated at shorter times (4 min) after insulin stimulation and despite the use of phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitors. We conclude that insulin can rapidly activate the Raf-1 kinase in some insulin-sensitive cell types but that this activation probably occurs through a mechanism distinct from direct phosphorylation of the Raf-1 protein by the insulin receptor protein tyrosine kinase.

A particulate form of protein-phosphotyrosine phosphatase was solubilized and purified over 2,000-fold from the particulate fraction of rat spleen. Phosphorylated poly(Glu, Tyr), a random copolymer of glutamic acid and tyrosine, was used as substrate for measuring protein-phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity. Nonionic detergents like Triton X-100 increased the protein-phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity of the particulate fraction (but not of the soluble fraction) by 4-8-fold. Chromatography of the Triton extract of the particulate fraction on DEAE-Sephacel gave three peaks of protein-phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity. The major peak of activity was further purified on Bio-Gel HTP, Sephadex G-75, and phosphocellulose columns. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of Na-dodecyl-SO4 the purified enzyme showed a major protein band of Mr 36,000 which comigrated with enzyme activity on the phosphocellulose column. The apparent Vmax and Km for phosphorylated poly(Glu,Tyr) were 6,150 nmol min-1 mg-1 and 1.6 microM, respectively. This enzyme was strongly inhibited by microM concentrations of orthovanadate and zinc acetate. Fluoride (50 mM) inhibited this enzyme only by 30-40%. Divalent metal ions Ca2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+ were inhibitory at 1-10 mM concentration. EDTA had no effect on the activity of the purified enzyme. This phosphatase could dephosphorylate and inactivate the phosphorylated form of a tyrosine-specific protein kinase (TK-I) previously purified from rat spleen. Dephosphorylation and inactivation of TK-I by purified phosphatase were inhibited by orthovanadate. After dephosphorylation and inactivation by phosphatase, TK-I could be rephosphorylated and reactivated on incubation with ATP. These results suggest that this protein-phosphotyrosine phosphatase may be involved in the regulation of the kinase activity of TK-I.

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), oncostatin M (OSM), and interleukin-6 (IL6) compose a family of distantly related cytokines that initiate signaling by inducing either homodimerization of the "beta" signal transducing receptor component gp130 (in the case of IL6) or heterodimerization between gp130 and the gp130-related LIFR beta (in the case of CNTF, LIF, and OSM); dimerization of beta receptor components in turn activates members of the Jak/Tyk family of receptor-associated tyrosine kinases. Here we report that CNTF, LIF, OSM, and IL6 induce most of the same protein tyrosine phosphorylations, regardless of the cell type assayed or whether they initiate signaling by inducing homo- or heterodimerization of beta components. Although several of the protein tyrosine phosphorylations induced by the CNTF/LIF/OSM/IL6 family of factors may correspond to novel tyrosine kinase targets, we have been able to demonstrate the involvement of known signaling molecules, such as phospholipase C gamma, phosphoinositol 3-kinase, phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTP1D), pp120, SHC, GRB2, STAT91, Raf-1, and the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1 and ERK2, revealing substantial convergence not only between the pathways activated by this cytokine family and other cytokines, but with pathways previously known to be activated only by factors that utilize receptor tyrosine kinases. Our data suggest the beta receptor components can form complexes with some of the signaling proteins identified and may play some role in their recruitment.

Genistein, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, activates the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in transfected NIH-3T3 fibroblasts that express the CFTR (3T3-CFTR). CFTR activity was assayed by 125I efflux and by patch clamping in the cell-attached mode. Both forskolin and genistein stimulated 125I efflux and activated a 9-10 pS anion channel in 3T3-CFTR cells but failed to activate 125I efflux in mock-transfected NIH-3T3 cells. Genistein, unlike forskolin and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, did not increase intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) above control levels. This demonstrates that genistein-dependent activation does not involve inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity and suggests that stimulation does not involve a direct activation of protein kinase A. Genistein stimulated 125I efflux to approximately 50% of the maximal rate with forskolin. Genistein did not increase 125I efflux at saturating forskolin but decreased the concentration of forskolin required for half-maximal stimulation. Orthovanadate (VO4), a phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, inhibited genistein-induced channel activation with an inhibition constant of approximately 20 microM. These effects suggest that, in addition to activation by protein kinase A, the CFTR is regulated by a tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway.

We have recently described the properties of delta Raf-1:ER, a fusion protein consisting of an oncogenic form of human Raf-1 and the hormone binding domain of the human estrogen receptor. In this study, we demonstrate that activation of delta Raf-1:ER in quiescent 3T3 cells (C2 cells), while sufficient to promote morphological oncogenic transformation, was insufficient to promote the entry of cells into DNA synthesis. Indeed, activation of delta Raf-1:ER potently inhibited the mitogenic response of cells to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment. Addition of beta-estradiol to quiescent C2 cells led to rapid, sustained activation of delta Raf-1:ER and MEK but only two- to threefold activation of p42 mitogen-activating protein (MAP) kinase activity. Addition of PDGF or EGF to quiescent C2 cells in which delta Raf-1:ER was inactive led to rapid activation of Raf-1, MEK, and p42 MAP kinase activities, and entry of the cells into DNA synthesis. In contrast, when delta Raf-1:ER was activated in quiescent C2 cells prior to factor addition, there was a significant inhibition of certain aspects of the signaling response to subsequent treatment with PDGF or EGF. The expression and activation of PDGF receptors and the phosphorylation of p70S6K in response to PDGF treatment were unaffected by prior activation of delta Raf-1:ER. In contrast, PDGF-mediated activation of Raf-1 and p42 MAP kinases was significantly inhibited compared with that of controls. Interestingly, the mitogenic and signaling responses of quiescent C2 cells to stimulation with fetal bovine serum or phorbol myristate acetate were unaffected by prior activation of delta Raf-1:ER. It seems likely that at least two mechanisms contribute to the effects of delta Raf-1:ER in these cells. First, activation of delta Raf-1:ER appeared to uncouple the activation of Raf-1 from the activation of the PDGF receptor at the cell surface. This may be due to the fact that mSOS1 is constitutively phosphorylated as a consequence of the activation of delta Raf-1:ER. Second, quiescent C2 cells expressing activated delta Raf-1:ER appear to contain an inhibitor of the MAP kinase pathway that, because of its apparent sensitivity to sodium orthovanadate, may be a phosphotyrosine phosphatase. It is likely that the inhibitory effects of delta Raf-1:ER observed in these cells are a manifestation of the activation of some of the feedback inhibition pathways that normally modulate a cell's response to growth factors. 3T3 cells expressing delta Raf-1:ER will be a useful tool in unraveling the role of Raf-1 kinase activity in the regulation of such pathways.

Using a human autoimmune CREST antiserum, we identified a 97-kDa polypeptide at the plus ends of Tetrahymena ciliary microtubules and an antigen associated with mammalian kinetochores (Miller, J.M., Wang, W., Balczon, R., and Dentler, W.L. (1990) J. Cell. Biol. 110, 703-714). The ciliary protein is part of a 1,500-2,000-kDa complex that can be released from ciliary microtubules and from in vitro assembled brain microtubules with ATP and ATP gamma S (Wang, W., Suprenant, K.A., and Dentler, W. L. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 24796-24807). Here we show that the ATP-dependent release of the 97-kDa protein from microtubules is inhibited, in a concentration-dependent manner, by calf intestine phosphatase and by the protein kinase inhibitor 6-dimethylaminopurine. Sodium orthovanadate, a phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, stimulated the ATP-dependent release of the 97-kDa protein from microtubules. Therefore, the ciliary fraction contains both protein kinase and phosphatase activities, and selective inhibition of these activities is necessary for the ATP-dependent binding and release of the 97-kDa protein from microtubules. When incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP, a portion of the 97-kDa protein is phosphorylated as are several other polypeptides associated with it. ATP sensitivity requires a low molecular weight heat-stable factor associated with axonemes. These results suggest that the association of the 97-kDa protein with microtubules is regulated by protein phosphorylation by axoneme-associated kinases and phosphatases.

LTE1 encodes a homolog of GDP-GTP exchange factors for the Ras superfamily and is required at low temperatures for cell cycle progression at the stage of the termination of M phase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We isolated extragenic suppressors which suppress the cold sensitivity of lte1 cells and confer a temperature-sensitive phenotype on cells. Cells mutant for the suppressor alone were arrested at telophase at non-permissive temperatures and the terminal phenotype was almost identical to that of lte1 cells at non-permissive temperatures. Genetic analysis revealed that the suppressor is allelic to CDC15, which encodes a protein kinase. The cdc15 mutations thus isolated were recessive with regard to the temperature-sensitive phenotype and were dominant with respect to suppression of lte1. We isolated CDC14 as a low-copy-number suppressor of cdc15-rlt1. CDC14 encodes a phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) and is essential for termination of M phase. An extra copy of CDC14 suppressed the temperature sensitivity of cdc15-rlt1 cells, but not that of cdc15-1 cells. In addition, some residues that are essential for the CDC14 PTPase activity were found to be non-essential for the suppression. These results strongly indicate that Cdc14 possesses dual functions; PTPase activity is needed for one function but not for the other. We postulate that the cooperative action of Cdc14 and Cdc15 plays an essential role in the termination of M phase.

Using an 125I- efflux assay, we have studied the expression of various types of chloride channels in isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Three different classes of anion conductances were distinguished: (1) a Ca(2+)-sensitive Cl- conductance, triggered upon stimulation of the cells with endothelin-1 or Ca(2+)-ionophore; (2) a cAMP/protein kinase A-operated Cl- conductance, activated by addition of forskolin. This anion channel could be identified as the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR-CI- channel) by Western blotting as well as by its enhanced activity in cultures pretreated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein; (3) a distinct class of cell volume-regulated Cl- channels, potentiated in the presence of endothelin-1 or the phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate. The potential role of each class of Cl- channels in the generation and/or modulation of action potentials as well as in maintaining cell volume is discussed.
