Agonist-activated phosphoinositide (PI)-specific phospholipase C initiates PI hydrolysis to produce signals implicated in mitogenic signaling in which the cyclin-dependent cdc2-protein kinase of the maturation-promoting factor is a major protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) substrate. It has been suggested that PI mitogenic signals are separable into PTK-dependent and non-PTK-dependent by genistein, a tyrosine-specific protein kinase inhibitor. However, we show here that DNA synthesis was abolished in human Chang liver cells although the sulphate-induced PI second messengers, i.e. inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and sn-1,2,diacylglycerol, were at equivalent dose-response levels with or without genistein (0.5 mM, 135 microgram/ml). This genistein dosage had been demonstrated to be effective in suppressing tyrosyl phosphorylation in cells. There was no increase in the trypan blue dead cell index. We have shown previously that human Chang cells stimulated by this 'non-growth-factor' agonist, i.e. sulphate, as well as extracellular ATP, became rounded with raised intracellular pH. ATP-induced cell rounding and intracellular alkalinization were not affected by the presence of genistein (0.5 mM). In the present investigation, that genistein dosage had also no effect on these cellular responses when initiated by added sulphate. It seems that the mitogenic signaling function of PI second messengers is dissociable and requires unsuppressed PTK activity.

The intrinsic protein-tyrosine kinase activity of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor is required for signal transduction. Increased protein-tyrosine kinase activity is observed following the binding of EGF to the receptor. However, signaling is rapidly desensitized during EGF treatment. We report that EGF receptors isolated from desensitized cells exhibit a lower protein-tyrosine kinase activity than EGF receptors isolated from control cells. The mechanism of desensitization of kinase activity can be accounted for, in part, by the EGF-stimulated phosphorylation of the receptor at Ser1046/7, a substrate for the multifunctional calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in vitro. Mutation of Ser1046/7 by replacement with Ala residues blocks desensitization of the EGF receptor protein-tyrosine kinase activity. Furthermore, this mutation causes a marked inhibition of the EGF-stimulated endocytosis and down-regulation of cell surface receptors. Thus, the phosphorylation site Ser1046/7 is required for EGF receptor desensitization in EGF-treated cells. This regulatory phosphorylation site is located at the carboxyl terminus of the EGF receptor within the subdomain that binds src homology 2 regions of signaling molecules.

Activating the protein-tyrosine kinase activity of v-Fps leads to the rapid transcriptional activation of the Egr-1 gene, which encodes a mitogen-responsive transcription factor. Activation of Egr-1 by v-Fps was insensitive to protein kinase C depletion, suggesting that a protein kinase C-independent signal activated by v-Fps leads to the induction of Egr-1. Expression of v-Fps in transient expression assays induced Egr-1 promoter activation. v-HaRas and v-Raf also activated the Egr-1 promoter. To characterize HaRas and Raf-1 involvement in v-Fps-induced Egr-1 expression, we used recently characterized dominant negative mutants of HaRas and Raf-1. v-Fps-induced Egr-1 promoter activation was inhibited by the dominant negative mutants of both HaRas and Raf-1. v-HaRas-induced Egr-1 promoter activation was blocked by the negative Raf-1 mutant; however, v-Raf-1-induced Egr-1 promoter activation was unaffected by the inhibitory HaRas mutant. These data suggest that v-Fps activates a protein kinase C-independent intracellular signaling pathway that is dependent on both HaRas and Raf-1, where Raf-1 functions downstream of HaRas.

PMID:The induction of Egr-1 expression by v-Fps is via a protein kinase C-independent intracellular signal that is sequentially dependent upon HaRas and Raf-1. 133 42

A fungal metabolite, radicicol, with a macrocyclic ring induced the reversal of transformed phenotypes of v-src-transformed fibroblasts (Rous sarcoma virus-transformed 3Y1 rat fibroblast) at a quite low concentration of 0.1 microgram/ml. Actin stress fibers reappeared in the transformed cells after treatment with radicicol. Radicicol reduced the intracellular level of autophosphorylation of p60v-src as well as the level of other tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in a dose-dependent manner. In vitro kinase assay revealed that radicicol effectively inhibited not only autophosphorylation but also transphosphorylation activities of purified p60v-src with a concentration producing 50% inhibition of 0.1 microgram/ml. However, radicicol showed no inhibitory effect on protein kinase C or protein kinase A. These results suggest that radicicol is a novel and specific protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor and that the decreased level of tyrosine kinase activity of p60v-src causes reversion of transformed phenotypes of Rous sarcoma virus-transformed 3Y1 rat fibroblast. Furthermore, differentiation of Friend leukemia cells, which is one of the known characteristic phenomena associated with the inhibition of tyrosine kinase, was also induced in the concentration range of 0.05-0.5 microgram/ml, suggesting that the agent is useful for the analysis of differentiation as well as the kinase-mediated signal transduction.

Extracts of bakers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) contain protein-tyrosine kinase activity that can be detected with a synthetic Glu-Tyr copolymer as substrate (G. Schieven, J. Thorner, and G.S. Martin, Science 231:390-393, 1986). By using this assay in conjunction with ion-exchange and affinity chromatography, a soluble tyrosine kinase activity was purified over 8,000-fold from yeast extracts. The purified activity did not utilize typical substrates for mammalian protein-tyrosine kinases (enolase, casein, and histones). The level of tyrosine kinase activity at all steps of each preparation correlated with the content of a 40-kDa protein (p40). Upon incubation of the most highly purified fractions with Mn-ATP or Mg-ATP, p40 was the only protein phosphorylated on tyrosine. Immunoblotting of purified p40 or total yeast extracts with antiphosphotyrosine antibodies and phosphoamino acid analysis of 32P-labeled yeast proteins fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the 40-kDa protein is normally phosphorylated at tyrosine in vivo. 32P-labeled p40 immunoprecipitated from extracts of metabolically labeled cells by affinity-purified anti-p40 antibodies contained both phosphoserine and phosphotyrosine. The gene encoding p40 (YPK1) was cloned from a yeast genomic library by using oligonucleotide probes designed on the basis of the sequence of purified peptides. As deduced from the nucleotide sequence of YPK1, p40 is homologous to known protein kinases, with features that resemble known protein-serine kinases more than known protein-tyrosine kinases. Thus, p40 is a protein kinase which is phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro at both tyrosine and serine residues; it may be a novel type of autophosphorylating tyrosine kinase, a bifunctional (serine/tyrosine-specific) protein kinase, or a serine kinase that is a substrate for an associated tyrosine kinase.

A soluble derivative of the human insulin receptor cytoplasmic domain, as expressed in insect cells via a Baculovirus vector, is an active protein-tyrosine kinase. In the present study, we find that three forms of the enzyme (48, 43, and 38 kDa) can be partially purified by MonoQ fast protein liquid chromatography. Two-dimensional thin layer phosphopeptide mapping reveals that the 48-kDa enzyme undergoes a rapid autophosphorylation on the same tyrosines (residues 1158, 1162, 1163, 1328, and 1334) that have previously been shown to be major autophosphorylation sites on the native insulin receptor beta-subunit in intact cells. Furthermore, the 48- and 43-kDa proteins are phosphorylated on serine residues by a serine kinase(s) that copurifies through MonoQ fast protein liquid chromatography. Tyrosine autophosphorylation sites 1328 and 1334 and virtually all serine phosphorylation sites are absent in the 38-kDa kinase. Partial tryptic proteolysis of the 48-kDa kinase generates a core 38-kDa enzyme that undergoes autophosphorylation almost exclusively on tyrosines 1158, 1162, and 1163. Phosphorylation of these tyrosine residues occurs in a cascade manner analogous to that found in the intact insulin receptor beta-subunit.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) promotes the survival and differentiation of specific populations of neurons. The molecular mechanisms by which cells respond to NGF are poorly understood, but two clues have emerged recently. First, NGF rapidly stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of several unidentified proteins in the NGF-responsive pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 [Maher, P. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, 6788-6791]. Second, the protein-tyrosine kinase encoded by the protooncogene trk (p140trk), a member of the receptor class of tyrosine kinases, becomes activated and phosphorylated on tyrosine after NGF treatment of PC12 cells [Kaplan, D. R., Martin-Zanca, D. & Parada, L. F. (1991) Nature (London) 350, 158-160]. We now report that NGF rapidly induces tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC-gamma 1), and we present evidence that the responsible tyrosine kinase is either p140trk or a closely associated protein. Treatment of responsive cells with NGF elicited phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 on tyrosine and serine. PLC-gamma 1 immunoprecipitated from NGF-stimulated cells was phosphorylated in vitro by coprecipitating protein kinase activity, and the phosphorylations occurred principally on tyrosine. The responsible kinase could be depleted from cellular lysates by antibodies specific for p140trk. This procedure also depleted a 140-kDa protein that normally coprecipitated with PLC-gamma 1 and became phosphorylated on tyrosine in vivo in response to NGF. Analysis of tryptic peptides from PLC-gamma 1 indicated that the residues phosphorylated in vitro by p140trk-associated kinase activity were largely congruent with those phosphorylated in vivo after NGF treatment. Our findings identify PLC-gamma 1 as a likely substrate for the trk-encoded tyrosine kinase, and they provide a link between NGF-dependent activation of p140trk and the stimulation of intracellular second messenger pathways.

A protein-tyrosine kinase has been isolated from a detergent-soluble extract of boar spermatozoa, using poly(Glu, Tyr)4:1 as a substrate. The purification procedure involves sequential column chromatographies on phosphocellulose, polyamino acid affinity and Sephadex G-100 molecular sieving, and results in more than a 1200-fold enrichment. Analysis of the most purified preparation by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a major Coomassie blue-stained band of molecular mass 42 kDa. The Tyr-protein kinase does not seem to be autophosphorylable. The Km value for poly(Glu, Tyr)4:1 is relatively low, 2.3 microM, and the tyrosine-polymer phosphorylating activity is apparently inhibited by tyrphostin. The characteristics shown by this new tyrosine kinase--the first to be described in mature male germ cells--support the hypothesis that it belongs to the group of non-receptor-associated tyrosine kinases.

Phosphorylated sites of calf thymus H2B histone were investigated with a catalytic fragment of 72 kDa protein-tyrosine kinase (p72syk). Three of five tyrosine residues in H2B histone can be phosphorylated by this kinase. In this analysis, H2B histone was thoroughly phosphorylated in vitro with [gamma-32P]ATP and the kinase, and then digested with a lysylendopeptidase. The resulting radioactive phosphopeptides were separated by a reverse-phase column on high performance liquid chromatography. Subsequent sequential Edman degradation of the purified phosphopeptides revealed that 40Y, 83Y and 121Y were phosphorylated. 121Y is the major phosphorylated residue in H2B histone. No phosphorylation was detected in 37Y and 42Y. Although the consensus sequence was not defined from these analyses, our data suggest that higher-order structure(s) in addition to primary one may participate in recognition of H2B histone by this protein kinase.

The protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are a burgeoning family of proteins, each of which bears a conserved domain of 250 to 300 amino acids capable of phosphorylating substrate proteins on tyrosine residues. We recently exploited the existence of two highly conserved sequence elements within the catalytic domain to generate PTK-specific degenerate oligonucleotide primers (A. F. Wilks, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:1603-1607, 1989). By application of the polymerase chain reaction, portions of the catalytic domains of several novel PTKs were amplified. We describe here the primary sequence of one of these new PTKs, JAK1 (from Janus kinase), a member of a new class of PTK characterized by the presence of a second phosphotransferase-related domain immediately N terminal to the PTK domain. The second phosphotransferase domain bears all the hallmarks of a protein kinase, although its structure differs significantly from that of the PTK and threonine/serine kinase family members. A second member of this family (JAK2) has been partially characterized and exhibits a similar array of kinase-related domains. JAK1 is a large, widely expressed membrane-associated phosphoprotein of approximately 130,000 Da. The PTK activity of JAK1 has been located in the C-terminal PTK-like domain. The role of the second kinaselike domain is unknown.
