The abilities of a series of six mutants of the human insulin receptor, an insulin receptor/v-ros hybrid (IR-ros) and the P68gag-ros transforming protein to stimulate S6 protein kinase have been assessed. Insulin receptor mutants in which either 1 or 2 tyrosine residues have been replaced with phenylalanine (YF1, YF3) have lost some or all of the capacity to mediate the activation of S6 kinase in response to insulin. None of the four mutants that contain deletions (spBam, spBamYF3, iBgl, T-t) elicit an insulin-dependent stimulation of S6 kinase. A previous study of the IRros hybrid receptor demonstrated that it was unable to cause either insulin-stimulated thymidine incorporation or glucose uptake (Ellis, L., Morgan, D. O., Jong, S.-M., Wang, L.-H., Roth, R. A., and Rutter, W. J. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 84, 5101-5105). In contrast, the IRros chimera appears to mediate the activation of S6 protein kinase by insulin. In further evaluating the biological activities of the IRros hybrid, we have examined its effects on a microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP2) kinase that is thought to be an early target in the cascade of reactions leading to increased S6 phosphorylation (Sturgill, T. W., Ray, L. B., Erickson, E., and Maller, J. L. (1988) Nature 334, 715-718). We find that the IRros receptor stimulates the MAP2 protein kinase from 3- to 6-fold in insulin-treated cells, conferring more than a 30-fold increase in the insulin sensitivity of MAP2 kinase activation.

Insulin receptor was copurified from human placenta together with insulin-stimulated kinase activity that phosphorylates the insulin receptor on serine residues. Analysis of phosphorylated insulin receptor by two-dimensional tryptic peptide mapping showed that sites of insulin stimulated serine phosphorylation in the insulin receptor were recovered in the same peptides as those known to be phosphorylated on serine in vivo in response to insulin. This indicates that the serine kinase copurified with the insulin receptor represents a physiologically important enzyme involved in the insulin triggered serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor in vivo.

Aggregation and autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor-protein kinase, from cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes, were studied in the presence of cationic polyamino acids. Poly-L-lysine and poly-L-arginine produced the following effects with the purified receptor: first, the autophosphorylation rate was increased by polycations. Half-maximal stimulation was proportional to polymer length. The rate enhancement was greater at lower ATP concentrations. Second, near-endpoint (equilibrium) autophosphorylation was greater in the presence of the polycations. Polycations inhibited the reverse reaction: ADP + phosphoreceptor yielding ATP + aporeceptor. Third, the [32P]phosphopeptides generated by trypsin digestion of the 32P-beta-subunit, showed that no new autophosphorylation sites resulted from the presence of polycations. Fourth, the polycations, but not insulin, promoted receptor aggregation, and phosphoreceptor aggregated more readily than aporeceptor. Insulin receptor enriched through the wheat germ agglutinin eluate step was compared with purified receptor. Higher concentrations of poly-L-arginine were required to stimulate autophosphorylation and to promote aggregation. Finally, several polycation-dependent substrates present in the wheat germ agglutinin eluate co-aggregated with the insulin receptor. Polycation-stimulated receptor autophosphorylation is linked to a lower KM,app for ATP, but substrate phosphorylation may require the aggregation.

Insulin receptor was co-purified from human placenta together with insulin-stimulated kinase activity that phosphorylates the insulin receptor on serine residues. By using this 'in vitro' system, the mechanism of activation of the serine kinase by insulin was explored. Peptide 1150, histone, poly(Glu-Tyr), eliminating Mn2+ (Mg2+ only), treatment at 37 degrees C (1 h), N-ethylmaleimide, phosphate, beta-glycerol phosphate and anti-phosphotyrosine antibody all inhibited insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase activity and the ability of insulin to stimulate phosphorylation of the insulin receptor on serine. Additionally, direct stimulation of the receptor tyrosine kinase by vanadate increased serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor. Insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation preceded insulin-stimulated serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor. The activity of the insulin-sensitive receptor serine kinase was not augmented by cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, Ca2+, Ca2+ + calmodulin, Ca2+ + phosphatidylserine + diolein or spermine, or inhibited appreciably by heparin. Additionally, the serine kinase phosphorylated casein or phosvitin poorly and was active with Mn2+. This indicates that it is distinct from Ca2+, Ca2+/phospholipid, Ca2+/calmodulin, cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases, casein kinases I and II and insulin-activated ribosomal S6 kinase. Taken together, these data indicate that a novel species of serine kinase catalyses the insulin-dependent phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and that activation of this receptor serine kinase by insulin requires an active insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase.

The insulin receptor is an integral membrane glycoprotein (Mr approximately 300,000) composed of two alpha-subunits (Mr approximately 130,000) and two beta-subunits (Mr approximately 95,000) linked by disulphide bonds. This oligomeric structure divides the receptor into two functional domains such that alpha-subunits bind insulin and beta-subunits possess tyrosine kinase activity. The amino acid sequence deduced from cDNA of the single polypeptide chain precursor of human placental insulin receptor revealed that alpha- and beta-subunits consist of 735 and 620 residues, respectively. The alpha-subunit is hydrophilic, disulphide-bonded, glycosylated and probably extracellular. The beta-subunit consists of a short extracellular region which links the alpha-subunit through disulphide bridges, a hydrophobic transmembrane region and a longer cytoplasmic region which is structurally homologous with other tyrosine kinases like the src oncogene product and EGF receptor kinases. The cellular function of insulin receptors is dual: transmembrane signalling and endocytosis of hormone. The binding of insulin to its receptor on the cell membrane induces transfer of signal from extracellular to cytoplasmic receptor domains leading to activation of cell metabolism and growth. In addition, hormone-receptor complexes are internalized leading to intracellular proteolysis of insulin, whereas receptors are recycled to the membrane. These phenomena are kinetically well-characterized, but their molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Insulin receptor in different tissues and animal species are homologous in their structure and function, but show also significant differences regarding size of alpha-subunits, binding kinetics, insulin specificity and receptor-mediated degradation. We suggest that this heterogeneity of receptors may be linked to the diversity in insulin effects on metabolism and growth in various cell types. The purified insulin receptor phosphorylates its own beta-subunit and exogenous protein and peptide substrates on tyrosine residues, a reaction which is insulin-sensitive, Mn2+-dependent and specific for ATP. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the beta-subunit activates receptor kinase activity, and dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase deactivates the kinase. In intact cells or impure receptor preparations, a serine kinase is also activated by insulin. The cellular role of two kinase activities associated with the insulin receptor is not known, but we propose that the tyrosine- and serine-specific kinases mediate insulin actions on metabolism and growth either through dual-signalling or sequential pathways.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The kinase activity of partially purified insulin receptor obtained from human placenta was studied. When autophosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the receptor was initiated by ATP prior to the addition of the exogenous substrate, both basal and insulin-stimulated kinase activity was increased. However, half-maximum effective insulin concentrations were unchanged. Insulin receptor autophosphorylation as stimulated by ATP and insulin failed to affect significantly 125I-insulin binding to partially purified insulin receptor from human placenta. It is concluded that autophosphorylation of the insulin receptors regulates its kinase activity but not its affinity for insulin. The catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase failed to phosphorylate either subunit of the insulin receptor, and each kinase failed to affect the affinity of the other one. Thus no functional interaction between cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and insulin receptors was observed in the in vitro system.

Insulin receptor was examined as a substrate for the multipotential protein kinase casein kinase I. Casein kinase I phosphorylated partially purified insulin receptor from human placenta as shown by immunoprecipitation of the complex with antiserum to the insulin receptor. Analysis of the phosphorylated complex by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions showed a major phosphorylated band at the position of the alpha 2 beta 2 complex. When the phosphorylated receptor was analyzed on polyacrylamide gels under reducing conditions, two phosphorylated bands, Mr 95,000 and Mr 135,000, were observed which corresponded to the alpha and beta subunits. The majority of the phosphate was associated with the beta subunit with minor phosphorylation of the alpha subunit. Phosphoamino acid analysis revealed that casein kinase I phosphorylated only seryl residues. The autophosphorylated alpha 2 beta 2 receptor purified by affinity chromatography on immobilized O-phosphotyrosyl binding antibody was also a substrate for casein kinase I. Reduction of the phosphorylated alpha 2 beta 2 receptor indicated that casein kinase I incorporated phosphate into seryl residues only in the beta subunit.

Receptor-associated protein kinase activity has been shown in all primary target tissues of insulin action in the rat and a function of insulin receptor phosphorylation in signal transmission was proposed. Insulin receptor phosphorylation so far has not been demonstrated in human target tissues of insulin. We describe here insulin receptor kinase activity in human skeletal muscle. Insulin (10(-8) mol/l) stimulates the phosphorylation of a 95-kDa protein from skeletal muscle 2-fold. The phosphoprotein is quantitatively immunoprecipitated with insulin receptor antibody identifying it as the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor. The insulin stimulation of phosphorylation is detectable also at physiological insulin concentrations (10(-9) mol/l) showing that receptor phosphorylation could be involved in insulin action in human skeletal muscle as well.

Insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity accounts for tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), but the serine kinase(s) responsible for serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 is(are) unknown. In vitro kinase assays performed on PI3-kinase and IRS-1 immunoprecipitates demonstrated insulin-dependent serine phosphorylation of IRS-1. IRS-1 was associated with both insulin-dependent and independent serine kinases. Only the insulin-dependent serine kinase preferred Mn2+ over Mg2+ and was recovered from cell lysates containing dithiothreitol. In complexes of tyrosine phosphorylated recombinant IRS-1 and PI3-kinase, phosphorylation of IRS-1 was associated with decreased phosphorylation of the p85 subunit of PI3-kinase. These results are consistent with PI3-kinase being responsible for insulin-dependent serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and suggest that this phosphorylation reaction may affect functions of both IRS-1 and the PI3-kinase.

Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 1, which is tyrosine phosphorylated in response to insulin, presents multiple serine/threonine phosphorylation sites. To search for a serine kinase activity towards IRS 1, immunoprecipitates from basal or stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were used in an in vitro kinase assay. When IRS 1 was isolated from insulin-treated cells, serine phosphorylation of IRS 1 occurred, which we attribute to the kinase activity of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). Importantly, in an in vitro reconstitution assay, an excess of the PI3-kinase subunit prevents this phosphorylation. Together, our results suggest that following insulin stimulation, PI3-kinase associates with IRS 1, allowing for its serine phosphorylation. This phosphorylation event could play a role in the modulation of insulin signalling.
