When purified p60v-src was mixed with lysates of chicken embryo fibroblasts and immunoprecipitated with anti-Src antibody, phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3 kinase activity was found to be present in the Src protein immunoprecipitates. The level of bound PI-3 kinase activity was 5 to 10 times higher in lysates obtained from cells transformed by the src, fps, or yes oncogene than in lysates of uninfected cells. This increase in associated PI-3 kinase activity appears to be due to increased binding of this enzyme to p60v-src. This change most likely resulted from tyrosine phosphorylation of PI-3 kinase or an associated protein, since the PI-3 kinase activity that can bind to p60v-src was depleted by antiphosphotyrosine antibody. Binding of PI-3 kinase did not require either p60src protein kinase activity or autophosphorylation of p60v-src tyrosine residues. Furthermore, binding was markedly decreased by deletions in the N-terminal SH2 region but unchanged by deletion of the C-terminal half of p60v-src containing the catalytic domain. Taking these data together, it appears that PI-3 kinase or its associated protein is phosphorylated on tyrosine and that the phosphorylated form can bind to the N-terminal half of p60v-src, which contains the SH2 domain.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of the GTPase activating protein (GAP) in 3T3 cells and in CHO cells expressing wild-type PDGF receptors, but not in several CHO cell lines expressing mutant receptors defective in transmitting mitogenic signals. Following PDGF treatment of cells, GAP physically associated with the PDGF receptor and with Raf-1, phospholipase c-gamma, and PI-3 kinase, suggesting that PDGF induced the formation of complexes of signaling molecules. The association of GAP with the PDGF receptor and the phosphorylation of GAP with the PDGF receptor and the phosphorylation of GAP were reconstituted in vitro using purified protein and in insect cells expressing murine PDGF receptor and human GAP. However, in cells transformed by activated c-Ha-ras, which are defective in certain responses to PDGF, GAP failed to associate with the PDGF receptor or increase its phosphotyrosine content in response to PDGF. The association of GAP with ligand-activated PDGF receptors may directly link PDGF and ras signaling pathways.

Ras proteins function through the formation of specific complexes with Raf-1, B-raf, PI-3 kinase and RalGDS. These interactions all require Ras-GTP with an intact effector binding domain (Switch I region). We have examined the requirements of the Switch II region (amino acids 60-72) for the production of stable interactions between Ras and its downstream effectors. A point mutation at position 65 or 64 combined with additional mutations at either position 65 or 71 rendered nucleotide-free Ras protein unable to stably interact with Ras specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors. Ha-Ras containing point mutations at positions 65 and 71 possessed a twofold higher affinity for B-raf and consequently MEK1. The point mutation at 64, in combination with additional point mutations at either position 65 or 71, resulted in a protein which failed to interact with either PI-3 kinase or neurofibromin, though these Ras mutants effectively bound both Raf-1 and B-raf. An activated form of Ras, Q61L-Ras, associated with all effector proteins independent of the bound guanine nucleotide. Q61L-Ras-GDP was almost as effective as wild type Ras-GMPPNP in the in vitro activation of MEK1 and MAP kinase. Competitive studies with the catalytic domain if neurofibromin, NF1-GRD, demonstrated that its interaction with Ras-GMPPNP is mutually exclusive with both Raf-1 and B-raf. These data suggest that rasGAP and neurofibromin are unable to downregulate Ras-GTP complexed to Raf-1 or B-raf.

A series of the synthetic protein kinase inhibitors known as tyrphostins were examined for their effects on the tyrosine autophosphorylation of the pp140c-trk, nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor. One of the tyrphostins, AG879, inhibited NGF-dependent pp140c-trk tyrosine phosphorylation, but did not affect tyrosine phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor or platelet-derived growth factor receptors. In addition, the tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor-associated protein pp38 was also attenuated by the tyrphostin. This effect was time- and dose-dependent, although inhibition of pp38 phosphorylation occurred earlier and at lower concentrations of the compound. AG879 also inhibited NGF-induced PLC-gamma 1 phosphorylation, phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI3) kinase activation, the association of the tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins pp100 and pp110 with the p85 subunit of PI-3 kinase, mitogen activated protein and raf-1 kinases, and c-fos induction. In addition, AG879 inhibited NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. These data indicate that tyrosine kinase activity of the pp140c-trk NGF receptor is essential for the cellular actions of this growth factor.

The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain is extended in the Btk kinase family by a region designated the TH (Tec homology) domain, which consists of about 80 residues preceding the SH3 domain. The TH domain contains a conserved 27 amino acid stretch designated the Btk motif and a proline-rich region. Sequence similarity was found to a putative Ras GTPase activating protein and a human interferon-gamma binding protein both in the PH domain and the Btk motif region. SLK1/SSP31 protein kinase and a non-catalytic p85 subunit of PI-3 kinase had similarity only with the proline rich region. The identification of a PH domain extension in some signal transduction proteins in different species suggests that this region is involved in protein-protein interactions.

The B cell-associated surface molecule CD40 plays a key role in T cell-dependent B cell maturation, as individuals with defects in either CD40 or its ligand are impaired in immunoglobulin isotype class switching and germinal center formation. CD40 signaling activates downstream effectors, including the tyrosine protein kinase, Lyn, the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI-3 kinase), and the transcription factor, NF-kappa B. In this study, we demonstrate that stress-activated protein kinases (SAPK) are activated after CD40 cross-linking on various B cell lines or human tonsillar B cells. The activation is rapid and transient and is mediated through a cyclosporin A-insensitive pathway. Furthermore, this signaling pathway appears not to rely on protein kinase C. While CD40 ligation strongly activates the SAPKs (up to 25-fold), it does not affect members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family (MAPK; ERK1 and ERK2). Consistent with these data, CD40 signals up-regulate c-jun but not c-fos mRNA and alter the transcription factor ATF2 but not the Raf-1 protein. In summary, CD40 signaling preferentially induces SAPK but not MAPK.

CD40 plays critical roles in B cell proliferation and differentiation in response to T cell-dependent antigenic stimulation. It has been suggested that CD40-mediated biological activities are transduced by a CD40 receptor-associated factor, CRAF1 and probably by protein tyrosine kinase Lyn and its substrates, phospholipase C gamma (PLC gamma) and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3 kinase). Here, we describe the novel finding that a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) cascade is involved in CD40 signaling in mouse B cells. Analysis of ERK activities in the B cell lymphoma cell line WEHI 231, which shows an increase in DNA synthesis or arrest of the cell cycle by cross-linking of CD40 or surface IgM (sIgM) cross-linking, respectively, indicated that one of the ERK isoforms, ERK2, was preferentially and rapidly activated after CD40 cross-linking. The CD40-mediated ERK2 activation was comparable to that after sIgM stimulation, although the activity was reduced toward the basal level within several minutes after stimulation. In contrast, ERK1 and ERK2 were activated to a similar extent by sIgM cross-linking, and the activities remained stable for at least 10 min. Furthermore, similar features of differential activation of ERK isoforms were observed in normal resting B cells in CD40 and sIgM signaling. These results suggest divergent regulatory pathways for ERK1 and ERK2 activation, and they support the notion that CD40 signaling may utilize a limited set of elements in the ERK cascade. Co-stimulation of WEHI 231 cells with anti-CD40 mAb rescues the cells from anti-IgM-mediated apoptosis, whereas this co-stimulation resulted in activation of ERK isoforms comparable to that in sIgM stimulation, without a synergistic effect. This result indicates the dominance of ERK activation in sIgM signaling over that of CD40, and it suggests that ERK activation may not be linked to the biological effect that CD40 stimulation in this cell line.

The use of bisindolylmaleimide derivatives of staurosporine as selective inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC) is in doubt following the report by Alessi [FEBS Lett. 402 (1997) 121-123] that Ro31-8220 and GF109203X are potent in vitro inhibitors of p70 S6 kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase-1beta, as well as of PKC. Here we show that the phorbol ester-stimulated release of choline- and ethanolamine-metabolites from C6 glioma cells due to phospholipid hydrolysis by phospholipase D (PLD) is not inhibited by rapamycin or PD98059, specific inhibitors respectively of p70 S6 kinase and MAPKK (MEK) and thus of MAPKAP kinase-1beta but is still completely blocked by Ro31-8220. We conclude therefore that p70S6k and MAPKAP kinase-1beta as well as MAPK are not involved in signalling pathways downstream of PKC that regulate phorbol ester-stimulated phospholipid turnover and that the inhibitory action of Ro31-8220 occurs by blocking PKC which regulates at least one pathway to PLD activation. The PI-3 kinase inhibitor, wortmannin, inhibits the phorbol ester-stimulated release of ethanolamine- but not choline-metabolites from C6 cells suggesting that different PLD isoforms regulate the turnover of PtdEth and PtdCho in C6 cells. Both PLD isoforms are activated via PKC but the PtdEth-PLD is also regulated via a wortmannin-sensitive pathway.

RAFTK, a novel nonreceptor protein kinase, has been shown to be involved in focal adhesion signal transduction pathways in neuronal PC12 cells, megakaryocytes, platelets, and T cells. Because focal adhesions may modulate cytoskeletal functions and thereby alter phagocytosis, cell migration, and adhesion in monocyte-macrophages, we investigated the role of RAFTK signaling in these cells. RAFTK was abundantly expressed in THP1 monocytic cells as well as in primary alveolar and peripheral blood-derived macrophages. Colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1)/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) stimulation of THP1 cells increased the tyrosine phosphorylation of RAFTK; similar increases in phosphorylation were also detected after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. RAFTK was phosphorylated with similar kinetics in THP1 cells and peripheral blood-derived macrophages. Immunoprecipitation analysis showed associations between RAFTK and the signaling molecule phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase. PI-3 kinase enzyme activity also coprecipitated with the RAFTK antibody, further confirming this association. The CSF-1/M-CSF receptor c-fms and RAFTK appeared to associate in response to CSF-1/M-CSF treatment of THP1 cells. Inhibition of RAFTK by a dominant-negative kinase mutant reduced CSF-1/M-CSF-induced MAPK activity. These data indicate that RAFTK participates in signal transduction pathways mediated by CSF-1/M-CSF, a cytokine that regulates monocyte-macrophage growth and function.

This review summarizes the evolution of ideas concerning insulin signal transduction, the current information on protein ser/thr kinase cascades as signalling intermediates, and their status as participants in insulin regulation of energy metabolism. Best characterized is the Ras-MAPK pathway, whose input is crucial to cell fate decisions, but relatively dispensable in metabolic regulation. By contrast the effectors downstream of PI-3 kinase, although less well elucidated, include elements indispensable for the insulin regulation of glucose transport, glycogen and cAMP metabolism. Considerable information has accrued on PKB/cAkt, a protein kinase that interacts directly with Ptd Ins 3'OH phosphorylated lipids, as well as some of the elements further downstream, such as glycogen synthase kinase-3 and the p70 S6 kinase. Finally, some information implicates other erk pathways (e.g. such as the SAPK/JNK pathway) and Nck/cdc42-regulated PAKs (homologs of the yeast Ste 20) as participants in the cellular response to insulin. Thus insulin recruits a broad array of protein (ser/thr) kinases in its target cells to effectuate its characteristic anabolic and anticatabolic programs.
