We have determined the total coding sequence of human c-yes, a non-receptor type protein-tyrosine kinase gene, and found that the c-yes gene closely resembles the c-src gene. Recently, two new genes, syn and lyn, were found to encode proteins closely related to the yes product. In addition, we also determined the partial sequence of fgr. These genes together with lck reported by two American groups have very closely related structures and are thought to compose a closely related group of non-receptor type protein-tyrosine kinases. Partial analysis of the structures of these genes indicated that they have identical splicing junctions at all sites so far examined. On the other hand, the erbB-1/EGF (epidermal growth factor) receptor gene and the erbB-2/neu gene have completely different splicing junctions from those of the above gene group even in the kinase domain, although these genes also have protein kinase activity specific for tyrosine residues and the erbB-1 and -2 genes share splicing sites. These results suggest that the genes of the group of six non-receptor type kinases and those of the erbB-1 and erbB-2 gene group are descendants evolved by duplication of two distinct ancestor genes and are members of two distinct multi-gene families. The genes coding for protein kinases may be members of a super-family including multiple distinct gene families.

We have isolated, in yeast, a nuclear gene named KIN28 which presents significant sequence homology with the cell-division-cycle CDC28 gene, with members of the protein-tyrosine kinase family (src, erb, abl, epidermal growth factor, etc.) and those of the family of protein kinases phosphorylating serine and threonine. This strongly suggests that KIN28 is endowed with a protein kinase activity. In contrast with CDC28, KIN28 is interrupted by an intervening sequence. The KIN28 gene failed to complement cdc28 mutations and was shown to be essential for cell proliferation.

Protein kinase activity in isolated nuclei from rat liver was detected in situ after electrophoresis on SDS-polyacrylamide gel containing no exogenous protein substrate. After renaturation of polypeptides, the gel was incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and divalent cations. Among five major protein kinase activities observed as radioactive bands by autoradiography, a protein kinase autophosphorylating on tyrosine (Mr 30,000) was identified and found to be localized in the nucleus, particularly in the nuclear matrix. The intensity of the activity band representing the level of the protein-tyrosine kinase in rat liver nuclei did not appreciably change during 3-24 h after partial hepatectomy.

Activation of receptor tyrosine kinases by multiple growth (GFs) is a major process through which mitogenic information is transmitted into cells. Cell cycle progression additionally requires the coordinated interaction of cellular adhesion receptors with extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. Recent data from several groups, which demonstrated that integrin-ECM contacts promote multiple phosphorylations of intracellular components although the integrin cytoplasmic domains do not have intrinsic protein kinase activity, support the theory that some adhesion receptor families transduce extracellular signals cooperatively with protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Based on the well-established hypothesis that adhesion receptors induce an aggregation of PTKs through a rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, a mathematical minimal model for the regulation of PTKs is presented which accounts for the synergism between different environmental signals mediated by growth factors and cell adhesion molecules (CAM) or cell adhesion associated substances like carcinoembyronic antigen (CEA). The model, which is closely related to a two-dimensional Ising model describing order-disorder transitions in ferromagnetic crystals, provides evidence that a cell-type-specific pattern of cell adhesion molecules may function as a molecular amplifier which promotes the metastatic activity of malignant tumor cells through the indirect induction of intracellular PTK activity.

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a widely expressed nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase implicated in integrin-mediated signal transduction pathways and in the process of oncogenic transformation by v-Src. Elevation of FAK's phosphotyrosine content, following both cell adhesion to extracellular matrix substrata and cell transformation by Rous sarcoma virus, correlates directly with an increased kinase activity. To help elucidate the role of FAK phosphorylation in signal transduction events, we used a tryptic phosphopeptide mapping approach to identify tyrosine sites of phosphorylation responsive to both cell adhesion and Src transformation. We have identified four tyrosines, 397, 407, 576, and 577, which are phosphorylated in mouse BALB/3T3 fibroblasts in an adhesion-dependent manner. Tyrosine 397 has been previously recognized as the major site of FAK autophosphorylation. Phosphorylation of tyrosines 407, 576, and 577, which are previously unrecognized sites, is significantly elevated in the presence of c-Src in vitro and v-Src in vivo. Tyrosines 576 and 577 lie within catalytic subdomain VIII--a region recognized as a target for phosphorylation-mediated regulation of protein kinase activity. We found that maximal kinase activity of FAK immune complexes requires phosphorylation of both tyrosines 576 and 577. Our results indicate that phosphorylation of FAK by Src (or other Src family kinases) is an important step in the formation of an active signaling complex.

The eukaryotic protein kinases that directly phosphorylate proteins are divided into two major classes: those that phosphorylate tyrosine and those that phosphorylate serine and threonine. Until recently, the similarities between these two classes of enzymes, which now total more than 400, were based primarily on sequence alignments. A recent report of the structure of the kinase domain (IRK) of the insulin receptor protein-tyrosine kinase now allows the features of these two families to be compared at the structural level. We review here this first tyrosine-specific protein kinase structure, and compare and contrast it to the structure of the serine/threonine-specific cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Although the general fold of the polypeptide backbone is conserved as predicted, unique features at the IRK active site provide a basis for understanding the differences in specificity for the phosphate acceptor amino acid. The structure of this inactive, dephosphorylated protein-tyrosine kinase also defines for the first time how activation might be achieved.

This review focuses on genes that have a proven or presumed role in the genesis of astrocytic tumors. A common theme in glioblastoma is the amplification of genes that code for growth factor receptors of the protein-tyrosine kinase family (epidermal growth factor receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha, met). The majority of glioblastomas also have alterations in genes that encode factors that are involved in cyclin-dependent kinase activity, which is a critical step in G1-S transition in the cell cycle. These alterations include deletions of negative regulatory elements (TP53, CDKN2, MTS2) and amplification of positive factors (MDM2, CDK4). In addition, there are loci on chromosomes 10 and 19q that seem to be involved in tumor progression.

Recent genomic analysis indicates that the number of protein kinase genes in eukaryotes may be higher than previously thought, and vertebrate genomes may contain in the vicinity of 2000. In addition to the growing protein-serine/protein-tyrosine kinase superfamily, new types of protein kinase have been discovered that operate on different structural principles. The structures of four protein-serine kinases have been solved and have revealed a common structural core containing the highly conserved residues in the catalytic domain. These structures provide insights into substrate selectivity and protein kinase activation. New regulatory principles for protein kinase have been uncovered, including phosphorylation of residues within the catalytic domain by a second protein kinase, new second messengers and specific protein inhibitors. Evidence that protein kinase cascades play an important role in signal transduction has emerged. A number of fundamental cellular processes such as the cell cycle and transcription have been shown to require protein phosphorylation.

We have examined the activity and substrate specificity of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hrr25p and the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Hhp1, Hhp2, and Cki1 protein kinase isoforms. These four gene products are isotypes of casein kinase I (CKI), and the sequence of these protein kinases predicts that they are protein serine/threonine kinases. However, each of these four protein kinases, when expressed in Escherichia coli in an active form, was recognized by anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. Phosphoamino acid analysis of 32P-labeled proteins showed phosphorylation on serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues. The E. coli produced forms of Hhp1, Hhp2, and Cki1 were autophosphorylated on tyrosine, and both Hhp1 and Hhp2 were capable of phosphorylating the tyrosine-protein kinase synthetic peptide substrate polymer poly-E4Y1. Immune complex protein kinases assays from S. pombe cells showed that Hhp1-containing precipitates were associated with a protein-tyrosine kinase activity, and the Hhp1 present in these immunoprecipitates was phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. Although dephosphorylation of Hhp1 and Hhp2 by Ser/Thr phosphatase had little effect on the specific activity, tyrosine dephosphorylation of Hhp1 and Hhp2 caused a 1.8-to 3.1-fold increase in the Km for poly-E4Y1 and casein. These data demonstrate that four different CKI isoforms from two different yeasts are capable of protein-tyrosine kinase activity and encode dual-specificity protein kinases.
