Tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins is critical for the Fc epsilon RI-induced signal transduction that leads to the release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells. Here we report the isolation of a monoclonal antibody, mAb BD2, to a 72 kDa protein that becomes rapidly tyrosine phosphorylated after Fc epsilon RI aggregation. By immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting and/or protease digestion this 72 kDa protein was different from the previously identified 68-76 kDa tyrosine phosphorylated proteins Btk, paxillin, SLP-76 or Syk. The phosphorylation of this 72 kDa protein was detectable within 15 sec after receptor aggregation and was independent of Ca2+ influx or the activation of protein kinase C. By in vitro kinase reaction, the 72 kDa protein did not autophosphorylate, which suggests that it is not a kinase, but is associated with a 140 kDa protein that was strongly phosphorylated. Studies in Syk deficient and Syk transfected variants of the RBL-2H3 cells demonstrated that the tyrosine phosphorylation of this 72 kDa protein was downstream of Syk. These data indicate that the 72 kDa protein precipitated by mAb BD2 is a novel phosphoprotein involved in Fc epsilon RI signaling.

The tumor-promoting phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), acutely stimulates the tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins of approximately 190, 120, and 70 kDa in the well differentiated Fao rat hepatoma cell line. This phosphorylation is dependent on protein kinase C (PKC) and is abolished by down-regulation of PKC or pretreatment with a PKC inhibitor. Purification of the 190-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein revealed that it consists of both ErbB2 and ErbB3. Following PMA-induced tyrosine phosphorylation, ErbB2 and ErbB3 were able to associate with the SH2 domains of several signaling proteins including the p85alpha subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Syp, and Grb2. The 120-kDa protein phosphorylated in response to PMA consists of at least two proteins: focal adhesion kinase that exhibits a minor increase in tyrosine phosphorylation following treatment with PMA, and a major 120-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated species in PMA-stimulated Fao cells which as yet is unidentified. Similarly, the 70-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein also appears to represent more than one protein, including paxillin and a second protein of similar mobility which appears to be the major tyrosine phosphorylation in response to PMA. Both ErbB2 and paxillin also exhibit reduced migration on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis following PMA treatment, suggesting that they are also phosphorylated on serine/threonine residues. The mobility shift of both of these proteins is abolished by treatment with inhibitors of PKC or mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-related kinase kinase. These results suggest a novel mechanism of cross-talk between the serine/threonine kinase PKC and tyrosine phosphorylation pathways. The activation of ErbB2 and ErbB3 that is initiated by PMA may contribute to the tumor promoting activity of these compounds.

The expression of the myristoylated PKC substrate MARCKS is reduced in tumor-derived choroidal melanoma cells (OCM-1). We transfected the OCM-1 cells with MARCKS cDNA and we selected clones with stable overexpression of the protein. Tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin, a biochemical marker of focal contact formation, was conserved upon serum starvation when MARCKS was overexpressed, while it was almost abolished in the control cells. Immunofluorescent labelling of paxillin and vinculin, another component of focal contact, revealed that these structures were conserved upon serum starvation when MARCKS was overexpressed but not in the control cells. Furthermore, the cell morphology was affected by the ectopic expression of MARCKS, leading to increased spreading and formation of membrane processes. These data suggest the involvement of MARCKS in cell spreading and focal contact formation.

The non-receptor tyrosine kinase p125FAK and the adaptor proteins paxillin and p130CAS are implicated in signal transduction at the focal adhesion plaques. An increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK, paxillin and p130CAS has been identified as an early signal in response to integrin engagement, mitogenic neuropeptides, bioactive lipids and growth factors. Agonist-mediated induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins occurs through a PKC and Ca(2+)-independent pathway that is critically dependent on the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton and on functional Rho. The coordinate tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK, paxillin and p130CAS plays a role in cell locomotion, DNA synthesis and apoptosis.

We have studied the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in amylase secretion from differentiated AR4-2J cells. The secretagogue bombesin, the protein kinase C activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and the protein-tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate induced tyrosine phosphorylation of different proteins, including paxillin and p125(FAK), which was reduced or blocked by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein and tyrphostin B56, respectively. Both PMA and pervanadate continuously increased amylase secretion with a similar time course, reaching the level of bombesin-induced amylase release after 60 min. Their effects were not additive and could be inhibited by preincubation of AR4-2J cells with genistein or tyrphostin B56, respectively. Inhibition of protein kinase C with Ro 31-8220 nearly abolished the effects of PMA, but had no effect on either pervanadate-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation or amylase secretion. An increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration by thapsigargin or A23187 caused a rapid increase in amylase release within the initial 5 min. In the presence of PMA or pervanadate, amylase secretion was further stimulated to levels comparable to those induced by bombesin after 30 min of stimulation. Inhibition of PMA-induced amylase secretion by Ro 31-8220 was less at elevated cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations than without Ca2+. Furthermore, an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration had no effect on protein tyrosine phosphorylation in either the absence or presence of PMA or pervanadate. We therefore conclude that in the cascade of events that lead to bombesin-induced protein secretion from AR4-2J cells, protein tyrosine phosphorylation occurs downstream of protein kinase C activation. A further step in secretion that is Ca2+-dependent occurs distal to protein tyrosine phosphorylation.

The G protein-coupled m1 and m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors increase tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, including the focal adhesion-associated proteins paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), but the mechanism is not understood. Activation of integrins during adhesion of cells to extracellular matrix, or stimulation of quiescent cell monolayers with G protein-coupled receptor ligands including bradykinin, bombesin, endothelin, vasopressin, and lysophosphatidic acid, also induces tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin and FAK and formation of focal adhesions. These effects are generally independent of protein kinase C but are inhibited by agents that prevent cytoskeletal assembly or block activation of the small molecular weight G protein Rho. This report demonstrates that tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin and FAK elicited by stimulation of muscarinic m3 receptors with the acetylcholine analog carbachol is inhibited by soluble peptides containing the arginine-glycine-aspartate motif (the recognition site for integrins found in adhesion proteins such as fibronectin) but is unaffected by peptides containing the inactive sequence arginine-glycine-glutamate. Tyrosine phosphorylation elicited by carbachol, but not by cell adhesion to fibronectin, is reduced by the protein kinase C inhibitor GF 109203X. The response to carbachol is dependent on the presence of fibronectin. Moreover, immunofluorescence studies show that carbachol treatment induces formation of stress fibers and focal adhesions. These results suggest that muscarinic receptor stimulation activates integrins via a protein kinase C-dependent mechanism. The activated integrins transmit a signal into the cell's interior leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin and FAK. This represents a novel mechanism for regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation by muscarinic receptors.

Addition of insulin growth factor-I (IGF-I) to quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells rapidly induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the p130Crk-associated substrate (p130(Cas)), a novel adaptor protein localized at focal adhesions. Half-maximal effect was obtained at 0. 6 nM. IGF-I also promoted the formation of a complex between p130(Cas) and c-Crk and elicited a parallel increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(Fak) and paxillin. IGF-I-induced p130(Cas), p125(Fak), and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation could be dissociated from mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, p70(S6K), and protein kinase C activation. In contrast, the structurally unrelated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002 markedly attenuated the increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of p130(Cas), p125(Fak), and paxillin induced by IGF-I. Cytochalasin D, which disrupts the network of actin microfilaments, completely prevented tyrosine phosphorylation of p130(Cas), p125(Fak), and paxillin and the formation of a p130(Cas). Crk complex in response to IGF-I. Thus, our results identified a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent pathway that requires the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of p130(Cas), p125(Fak), and paxillin in response to IGF-I and suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation of these focal adhesion proteins, together with the recruitment of c-Crk into a complex with p130(Cas), may play a novel role in IGF-I signal transduction.

Angiotensin II (Ang II) induces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth by activating Gq-protein-coupled AT1 receptors, which leads to elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and mitogen-activated protein kinases. To assess the link between these Ang II-induced signaling events, we examined the effect of Ang II on the proline-rich tyrosine kinase (PYK2), previously found to be activated by a variety of stimuli that increase [Ca2+]i or activate PKC. PYK2 distribution was demonstrated in rat aortic tissue and in cultured VSMC by immunohistochemistry, revealing a cytosolic distribution distinct from smooth muscle alpha-actin, focal adhesion kinase, or paxillin. The involvement of PYK2 in Ang II signaling was measured by immunoprecipitation and immune complex kinase assays. Treatment of quiescent VSMC with Ang II resulted in a concentration- and time-dependent increase in PYK2 tyrosine phosphorylation and kinase activity in PYK2 immunoprecipitates. PYK2 phosphorylation was inhibited by AT1 receptor blockade and was attenuated by downregulation of PKC or the chelation of [Ca2+]i. Treatment with either phorbol ester or Ca2+ ionophore also increased PYK2 phosphorylation, suggesting that PKC activation and/or increased [Ca2+]i are both necessary and sufficient to activate PYK2. Activation of PYK2 by Ang II was also associated with increased PYK2-src complex formation, suggesting that PYK2 activation represents a potential link between Ang II-stimulated [Ca2+]i and PKC activation with downstream signaling events such as mitogen-activated protein kinase activation involved in the regulation of VSMC growth.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a potent mitogen in many cell types including pancreatic cells. Recent studies show that the effects of some growth factors on growth and cell migration are mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the cytosolic tyrosine kinase p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) and the cytoskeletal protein, paxillin. The aim of the present study was to determine whether EGF activates this pathway in rat pancreatic acini and causes tyrosine phosphorylation of each of these proteins, and to examine the intracellular pathways involved. Treatment of pancreatic acini with EGF induced a rapid, concentration-dependent increase in p125FAK and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation. Depletion of the intracellular calcium pool or inhibition of PKC activation had no effect on the response to EGF. However, inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) or inactivation of p21rho inhibited EGF-stimulated phosphorylation of p125FAK and paxillin by more than 70%. Finally, cytochalasin D, a selective disrupter of the actin filament network, completely inhibited EGF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of both proteins. All these treatments did not modify EGF receptor autophosphorylation in response to EGF. These results identify p125FAK and paxillin as components of the intracellular pathways stimulated after EGF receptor occupation in rat pancreatic acini. Activation of this cascade requires activation of PI3-kinase and participation of p21rho, but not PKC activation and calcium mobilization.

Protein tyrosine kinases are critical for the function of CD28 in T cells. We examined whether the tyrosine kinases Pyk2 and Fak (members of the focal adhesion kinase family) are involved in CD28 signaling. We found that ligating CD28 in Jurkat T cells rapidly increases the tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2 but not of Fak. Paxillin, a substrate for Pyk2 and Fak, was not tyrosine-phosphorylated after CD28 ligation. CD28-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2 was markedly reduced in the absence of external Ca2+. Previous studies have shown that the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2. In this report, the concurrent ligation of CD28 and TCR increased tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2; however, the extent of phosphorylation by both receptors was equivalent to the sum of that induced by each receptor alone. The Syk/Zap inhibitor piceatannol blocked CD28, and TCR induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2, suggesting that Syk/Zap is involved in Pyk2 phosphorylation. In contrast, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin blocked TCR- but not CD28-induced phosphorylation of Pyk2, suggesting that CD28 and TCR activate distinct pathways to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2. Notably, depleting phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-sensitive protein kinase C did not block CD28- and CD3-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2. These data provide evidence for the involvement of Pyk2 in the CD28 signaling cascade and suggest that neither Fak nor paxillin is involved in the signaling pathways of CD28.
