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)

Drug-resistant cell lines derived from the mouse macrophage-like cell line J774.2 express the multidrug resistance phenotype which includes the overexpression of a membrane glycoprotein (130-140 kilodaltons). Phosphorylation of this resistant-specific glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein) in intact cells and in cell-free membrane fractions has been studied. The phosphorylated glycoprotein can be immunoprecipitated by a rabbit polyclonal antibody specific for the glycoprotein. Phosphorylation studies done with partially purified membrane fractions derived from colchicine-resistant cells indicated that (a) phosphorylation of the glycoprotein in 1 mM MgCl2 was enhanced a minimum of 2-fold by 10 microM cAMP and (b) the purified catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) phosphorylated partially purified glycoprotein that was not phosphorylated by [gamma-32P]ATP alone, suggesting that autophosphorylation was not involved. These results indicate that the glycoprotein is a phosphoprotein and that at least one of the kinases responsible for its phosphorylation is a membrane-associated protein kinase A. The state of phosphorylation of the glycoprotein, which is a major component of the multidrug resistance phenotype, may be related to the role of the glycoprotein in maintaining drug resistance.

Avian erythroblastosis virus can transform both fibroblasts and erythroid cells to neoplastic growth. A locus within the virus genome, v-erb B, encodes a membrane glycoprotein essential for the oncogenic properties of the virus. No biochemical function has until now been attributed to the v-erb B protein. We report here that the v-erb B glycoprotein shares strong structural homologies with the tyrosine-specific protein kinases encoded by certain retroviral oncogenes. The patterns of amino acid conservation between the tyrosine-specific protein kinases and the v-erb B protein, and between the v-erb B protein and the catalytic subunit of bovine protein kinase, suggest a possible functional as well as structural relatedness.

Transformation by Rous sarcoma virus results in a dramatic increase in the rate at which the transformed cells transport glucose across the cell membrane. The increased transport rate is a consequence of an increased number of transporters in the transformed cells. Utilizing antibody raised against the purified human erythrocyte glucose transporter, we have identified the glucose transporter as a membrane glycoprotein with a monomer Mr of approximately 41,000. The increased rate of glucose transport is dependent on the activity of pp60src, the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus. This protein has been shown to be a protein kinase that phosphorylates on tyrosine residues. We have examined the tyrosine phosphorylation of a major cellular protein of Mr 36,000 in cells infected with a panel of partially transforming mutants of Rous sarcoma virus. One of these mutants (CU2) increases the rate of glucose transport only slightly and does not render the infected cells fully anchorage independent or tumorigenic (although other transformation parameters are fully induced). Cells infected with this mutant display a 36,000-dalton protein that is phosphorylated to a considerably lesser extent than cells infected with wild-type virus. Analyses of this sort may help to identify the cellular targets of pp60src whose phosphorylation is necessary for the increased glucose transport rate.

Insulin binding to the alpha-subunit of its receptor stimulates the receptor tyrosine kinase to phosphorylate the beta-subunit and several endogenous protein substrates, including pp120/HA4, a liver-specific plasma membrane glycoprotein of M(r) 20,000. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of rat liver pp120/HA4 revealed two potential sites for tyrosine phosphorylation in the cytoplasmic domain (Tyr488 and Tyr513), as well as a potential cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation site (Ser503). To determine which of these sites is phosphorylated in response to insulin, each of these amino acid residues was altered by site-directed mutagenesis. Mutant cDNAs were then expressed by stable transfection in NIH 3T3 cells. Two mutations (Phe488 and Ala503) impaired insulin-induced phosphorylation of pp120/HA4, suggesting that pp120/HA4 undergoes multisite phosphorylation. It seems likely that Tyr488 is phosphorylated by the insulin receptor kinase, and phosphorylation of Ser513 may contribute to the regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation. Since pp120/HA4 is believed to be associated with a Ca2+/Mg(2+)-dependent ecto-ATPase activity, we determined the effects of insulin-induced phosphorylation on this enzymatic activity. In NIH 3T3 cells co-expressing the insulin receptor and pp120/HA4, insulin caused a 2-fold increase in ecto-ATPase activity. Moreover, elimination of the phosphorylation sites of pp120/HA4 impaired the ability of insulin to stimulate the ecto-ATPase activity. These data suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation of pp120/HA4 may regulate Ca2+/Mg(2+)-dependent ecto-ATPase activity.

Recent studies suggest that multidrug resistance of HL60/ADR cells is related to an overexpression of the MRP (multidrug resistance associated protein) gene which encodes a 190-kDa ATP-binding membrane glycoprotein. In the present study we have further characterized P190 and have examined phosphorylation properties of the protein. The results demonstrate that P190 is highly phosphorylated and that the phosphate groups are metabolically active and undergo cycles of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in the cell. Serine is the single amino acid phosphorylated in P190 and the phosphate groups are contained in nine tryptic peptides. Experiments have also been conducted to analyze the effect of various protein kinase inhibitors on phosphorylation levels of P190. The results show that H-7, staurosporine, and chelerythrine can reduce the phosphorylation of this protein. In the presence of both H-7 (200 microM) and staurosporine (200 nM) the phosphorylation of P190 is completely blocked. It has also been found that in the presence of these agents there is a major increase in drug accumulation and concomitant inhibition in drug efflux of resistant cells. These results therefore suggest the possibility that certain phosphate groups of protein P190 play an important role in modulating drug accumulation in resistant cells.

We have examined the effects of various inhibitors of protein kinases and phosphatases on Sindbis virus maturation in BHK cells. 2-aminopurine, a nonspecific protein kinase inhibitor, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide hydrochloride (W-7), a specific inhibitor of calmodulin/Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase, and okadaic acid (OKA), a protein phosphatase inhibitor, dose-dependently inhibited Sindbis virus maturation. Although virus production was inhibited, the membrane glycoprotein precursors PE2/E1 were exported from the endoplasmic reticulum and PE2 was converted to E2 at normal kinetic rates. The glycoproteins were delivered to the plasma membrane in conformations which rendered them competent for low pH-mediated cell-cell fusion from within. Electron microscopy showed that in the presence of W-7, virus nucleocapsids were free in the cell cytoplasm, while in the presence of OKA, the nucleocapsids were associated with cell membranes. Metabolic labeling of Sindbis virus-infected cells with [32P]orthophosphate in the presence of OKA resulted in the specific labeling of the PE2/E2 glycoprotein. We have previously shown that the carboxyl terminus of the PE2 glycoprotein is initially buried in cell membranes and is then exposed to the cytoplasm at some later stage in virus maturation. The data shown are consistent with the hypothesis that phosphorylation and dephosphorylation play a critical role in a late stage in Sindbis virus maturation, possibly in releasing of the E2 tail from cell membranes.

Diversion of membrane proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) or the plasma membrane into the endosomal system occurs via clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs). These sorting events may require the interaction of cytosolic domain signals with clathrin adaptor proteins (APs) at the TGN (AP-1) or the plasma membrane (AP-2). While tyrosine- and di-leucine-based signals in several proteins mediate endocytosis via cell surface CCVs, segregation into Golgi-derived CCVs has so far only been documented for the mannose 6-phosphate receptors, where it is thought to require a casein kinase II phosphorylation site adjacent to a di-leucine motif. Although recently tyrosine-based signals have also been shown to interact with the mu chain of AP-1 in vitro, it is not clear if these signals also bind intact AP-1 adaptors, nor if they can mediate sorting of proteins into AP-1 CCVs. Here we show that the cytosolic domain of the lysosomal membrane glycoprotein lamp-1 binds AP-1 and AP-2. Furthermore, lamp-1 is present in AP-1-positive vesicles and tubules in the trans-region on the Golgi complex. AP-1 binding as well as localization to AP-1 CCVs require the presence of the functional tyrosine-based lysosomal targeting signal of lamp-1. These results indicate that lamp-1 can exit the TGN in CCVs and that tyrosine signals can mediate these sorting events.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium metabolism through a specific G protein-coupled, seven-transmembrane helix-containing receptor. This receptor also binds and is activated by PTH-related protein (PTHrP). The human (h) PTH/PTHrP receptor is a membrane glycoprotein with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 85000 which contains four putative N-glycosylation sites. To elucidate the functional role of receptor glycosylation, if any, we studied hormone binding and signal transduction in human embryonic kidney cells transfected with hPTH/PTHrP receptor (HEK-293/C-21). These cells stably express 300000-400000 receptors per cell. Inhibition of N-glycosylation with an optimized concentration of tunicamycin yielded completely nonglycosylated hPTH/PTHrP receptor (approximately 60 kDa). This receptor form is fully functional; it maintains nanomolar binding affinity for PTH- and PTHrP-derived agonists and antagonists. PTH and PTHrP agonists stimulate cyclic AMP accumulation and increases in cytosolic calcium levels. In addition, the highly potent benzophenone (pBz2)-containing PTH-derived radioligand [Nle8,18,Lys13(epsilon-pBz2),L-2-Nal23,Tyr34 3-125I)]bPTH(1-34)NH2 can photoaffinity cross-link specifically to the nonglycosylated receptor. The molecular weight (approximately 60000) of the band representing the photo-cross-linked, nonglycosylated receptor (obtained from the tunicamycin-treated HEK-293/C-21 cells) was similar to that of the deglycosylated photo-cross-linked receptor (obtained by enzymatic treatment with Endoglycosidase-F/N-glycosidase-F). Our findings indicate that glycosylation of the hPTH/PTHrP receptor is not essential for its effective expression on the plasma membrane or for the binding of ligands known to interact with the native receptor. The nonglycosylated hPTH/PTHrP receptor remains fully functional with regard to both of its known signal transduction pathways: cAMP-protein kinase A and phospholipase C-cytosolic calcium.

Receptor-associated protein (RAP) is an endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi protein involved in the processing of receptors of the low density lipoprotein receptor family. A approximately 95-kDa membrane glycoprotein, designated gp95/sortilin, was purified from human brain extracts by RAP affinity chromatography and cloned in a human cDNA library. The gene maps to chromosome 1p and encodes an 833-amino acid type I receptor containing an N-terminal furin cleavage site immediately preceding the N terminus determined in the purified protein. Gp95/sortilin is expressed in several tissues including brain, spinal cord, and testis. Gp95/sortilin is not related to the low density lipoprotein receptor family but shows intriguing homologies to established sorting receptors: a 140-amino acid lumenal segment of sortilin representing a hitherto unrecognized type of extracellular module shows extensive homology to corresponding segments in each of the two lumenal domains of yeast Vps10p, and the extreme C terminus of the cytoplasmic tail of sortilin contains the casein kinase phosphorylation consensus site and an adjacent dileucine sorting motif that mediate assembly protein-1 binding and lysosomal sorting of the mannose-6-phosphate receptors. Expression of a chimeric receptor containing the cytoplasmic tail of gp95/sortilin demonstrates evidence that the tail conveys colocalization with the cation-independent mannose6-phosphate receptor in endosomes and the Golgi compartment.
