The inhibition mechanisms of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor tyrosine kinase and the cAMP-dependent kinase activities by erbstatin and its analogue, RG 14921, were studied by kinetic analysis. Both compounds were slow-binding inhibitors of the EGF receptor kinase. Erbstatin inhibited the EGF receptor kinase as a partial competitive inhibitor with respect to both ATP and the peptide substrate, suggesting that it binds at a site distinct from the ATP and peptide binding sites of the enzyme, and thus lowers the binding affinities of the enzyme for both substrates. In contrast, the analogue RG 14921 inhibited EGF receptor kinase activity as a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to both ATP and the peptide substrate. The distinct modes of inhibition by structurally related compounds suggest a dynamic and possibly extended structure of the catalytic center of the kinase domain of the receptor. Erbstatin and RG 14921 exerted similar effects on cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. In this system, both compounds displayed potent inhibition and acted by a mode of competitive inhibition with respect to ATP and non-competitive with the peptide substrate.

While a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) has been suggested to phosphorylate epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor in vitro, both intrinsic and EGF- or potent phorbol tumor promoter-induced phosphorylation of EGF receptor were found to be depressed in human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells by prior incubation of the cells with various protein kinase A activators (e.g. cholera toxin, forskolin, cAMP analogues, or a combination of prostaglandin E1 and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine). Protein kinase A activators did not change significantly either the number of EGF receptors or their affinity for EGF. The tryptic phosphopeptide map of EGF receptors from cells treated with cholera toxin alone or cholera toxin followed by EGF revealed unique peptides whose serine phosphorylation was preferentially depressed. However, the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A phosphorylated no threonine and little serine in the EGF receptors in the plasma membranes of isolated A431 cells in vitro, while serine residues in an unidentified 170-kDa membrane protein(s) other than EGF receptor were heavily phosphorylated. Pretreatment of the cells with forskolin blocked 1,2-diacylglycerol induction by EGF; growth inhibition by nanomolar levels of EGF could be partially restored by the presence of forskolin. These results indicate that an increase in intracellular cAMP modulates the EGF receptor signal transduction system by reducing EGF-induced production of diacylglycerol without direct phosphorylation of EGF receptors by protein kinase A in A431 cells.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment of A-431 cells potentiates up to 5-fold the intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation induced by isoproterenol, cholera toxin, forskolin, or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX). EGF potentiates cAMP accumulation in several epithelial cell lines which overexpress the EGF receptor including A-431 cells, HSC-1 cells, and MDA-468 cells, and in the A-431-29S clone which expresses a normal complement of EGF receptors. Although EGF potentiates cAMP accumulation, EGF by itself does not measurably alter the basal level of cAMP. EGF rapidly enhances cAMP accumulation (within 1 to 3 min) in A-431 cells treated with these cAMP-elevating agents. EGF potentiation of cAMP accumulation does not reflect enhancement of beta-adrenergic receptor activation and is not a consequence of intracellular cAMP elevation or the concomitant activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Since EGF potentiates accumulation of both intracellular and extracellular cAMP in isoproterenol-treated A-431 cells, EGF does not potentiate intracellular cAMP accumulation by inhibition of cAMP export. EGF potentiation of cAMP accumulation is pertussis toxin-insensitive and does not result from EGF inhibition of cAMP degradation in A-431 cells. These results demonstrate that EGF transmembrane signaling includes an interaction with a component of the adenylate cyclase system and that this interaction stimulates cAMP synthesis resulting in enhancement of cAMP accumulation.

Forskolin-pretreatment of A431 cells reduced both intrinsic and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced EGF receptor phosphorylation, however, phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) was stimulated under the same conditions. No significant difference was detected in the amount of phosphotyrosine of PLC-gamma between two cultures with or without forskolin treatment followed by EGF. On the other hand, phosphorylation of a 47 kDa protein (P47) which cross-reacted with an anti-PLC-gamma monoclonal antibody, was stimulated by both forskolin and EGF. Phosphorylation was exclusively on serine residues in this case. These results indicate that both PLC-gamma and P47 are phosphorylated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the EGF-stimulated serine kinase, and suggest that serine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma has no effect on ligand-dependent coupling with the EGF receptor.

A kinase-splitting membranal proteinase specifically clips the cytoplasmic moiety of the insulin receptor beta-subunit (95 kd) to yield an 84-kd fragment. Using antibodies against different domains in the receptor, cleavage is shown to remove an 11-kd 'tail' (rooted at the C-terminal end of the kinase domain) which includes tyrosines 1316 and 1322. This cleavage impairs the ability of the clustered tyrosines 1146, 1150 and 1151 to undergo autophosphorylation. Nevertheless, the clipped beta-subunit is as active as the intact subunit if its kinase activity is measured at high exogenous substrate concentrations (greater than or equal to 2 mg/ml) indicating that autophosphorylation is not obligatory for insulin-dependent phosphotransferase activity. With low substrate concentrations (e.g. 0.2 mg/ml) a severe damage to the kinase activity is detected, which may reflect an important structural contribution of the 'tail' and/or the clustered phosphotyrosines in creating the preferential affinity of the kinase for its in vivo substrate(s). The membranal proteinase strictly recognizes the native conformation of the kinase domain, and fails to cleave it after denaturation. Since such a conformation-dependent cleavage occurs also in the case of the cytoplasmic moiety of the EGF receptor and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, it is suggested that the similarity between these three kinase domains extends beyond their reported sequence homology to reflect a similarity in conformation.

The dephosphorylation of phospho-amino acids with alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) from calf intestine or Escherichia coli and the phosphorylation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor kinase from human A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells were investigated by 31P NMR spectroscopy. The initial rates of the dephosphorylation of phospho-tyrosine (P-Tyr) and phosphoserine (P-Ser) with AlPase were essentially the same in the one-substrate system. In the two-substrate system (P-Tyr plus P-Ser), however, the ratio of the initial rate for P-Tyr vs. P-Ser was 2.4 to 4.5 depending on the buffer and pH conditions employed. This substantiates for the first time the specificity of AlPases to P-Tyr over P-Ser at the free amino acid level. In the stationary phase of the overall process, the dephosphorylation of P-Ser became slow compared to that of P-Tyr in the one-substrate system. The decrease in the rate for P-Ser was further pronounced in the two-substrate system. For this remarkable effect, the rephosphorylation of serine was responsible, as demonstrated in the reaction mixture containing serine, Pi, and AlPase. BSA phosphorylated by EGF receptor kinase exhibited sharp 31P resonances around 0 ppm at neutral pH, far distant from the peak positions (4.9 ppm) of histone H1 phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These NMR data are directed evidence that BSA was phosphorylated exclusively at the tyrosyl residues, whereas the phosphorylation of histone H1 was at the seryl residues.

A brush-border membranal proteinase, which specifically clips the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, is shown to cleave the receptor for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) (Mr = 170,000) into two fragments of Mr = 140,000 and 30,000. The 140-kDa fragment retains its EGF-binding site and its EGF-dependent protein tyrosine kinase activity on exogenous substrates, but it loses its capacity to undergo self-phosphorylation. It is shown to be distinct from the 150-kDa fragment of the EGF receptor obtained by the Ca2+-activated neutral proteinase. The membranal proteinase strictly recognizes the native structure of the receptor and fails to cleave either the denatured receptor or its 150-kDa degradation product. Thus the membranal proteinase acts as a conformation-recognizing probe for both the protein-tyrosine kinase domain of the EGF receptor and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein-Ser/Thr kinase, suggesting that the known sequence homology between these two kinases is also reflected in their conformation. The well defined 140-kDa fragment described here is useful for structure-function studies of the EGF receptor.

A region of the primary amino acid sequence of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF) protein-tyrosine kinase, which is involved in ATP binding, was identified using chemical modification and immunological techniques. EGF receptor was 14C-labelled with the ATP analogue 5'-p-fluorosulphonylbenzoyladenosine and from a tryptic digest a single radiolabelled peptide was isolated. The amino acid sequence was determined to be residues 716-724 and hence lysine residue 721 is located within the ATP-binding site. Antisera were elicited in rabbits to a synthetic peptide identical to residues 716-727 of the EGF receptor and the homologous sequence in v-erb B transforming protein from avian erythroblastosis virus. The affinity-purified antibodies precipitated human ECF receptor from A431 cells and placenta, and the v-erb B protein from erythroblasts. The antibodies inhibited EGF-stimulated receptor protein-tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of an exogenous peptide substrate containing tyrosine. The antibodies did not immunoprecipitate the transforming proteins pp60v-src or P120gag-abl or cAMP-dependent protein kinase, proteins which have homologous but not identical sequences surrounding the lysine residue within the ATP-binding site, nor did they react with the platelet-derived growth factor receptor. The antibodies had no effect on the kinase activity of purified v-abl protein in solution. The antibodies may therefore be a specific inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase of the EGF receptor.

Tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, pp60v-src and pp110gag-fes was inhibited in vitro by an isoflavone genistein. The inhibition was competitive with respect to ATP and noncompetitive to a phosphate acceptor, histone H2B. By contrast, genistein scarcely inhibited the enzyme activities of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, and the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme protein kinase C. When the effect of genistein on the phosphorylation of the EGF receptor was examined in cultured A431 cells, EGF-stimulated serine, threonine, and tyrosine phosphorylation was decreased. Phosphoamino acid analysis of total cell proteins revealed that genistein inhibited the EGF-stimulated increase in phosphotyrosine level in A431 cells.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-dependent transfer of radiolabeled phosphate from [gamma-32P]ATP to 160-kDa EGF receptor solubilized from human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cell surface membranes was stimulated up to 3-fold by addition of 3',5'-cAMP and purified cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of EGF receptors was stimulated to the same extent when cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit was substituted for 3',5'-cAMP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphoamino acid analysis revealed that the extent of phosphorylation of EGF receptor at tyrosine residues was the same regardless of whether cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit was present in or omitted from the system. Increased EGF receptor phosphorylation occurring in response to cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit was accounted for by phosphorylation at serine or threonine residues. In samples phosphorylated in the presence of cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, phosphate was present in tyrosine, serine, and threonine in a ratio of 32:60:8. Two-dimensional mapping of radiolabeled phosphopeptides produced from EGF receptors by digestion with trypsin revealed the generation of one additional major phosphoserine-containing peptide when cAMP-dependent protein kinase was present with EGF in the EGF receptor kinase system. Degradation of 160-kDa EGF receptors to a 145-kDa form by purified Ca2+-activated neutral protease produced a 145-kDa fragment with phosphoserine content increased over that present initially in the 160-kDa precursor.
