Upon stimulation by its ligand, the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor associates with the 85-kDa subunit of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase. The 85-kDa protein (p85) contains two Src homology 2 (SH2) domains and one SH3 domain. To define the part of p85 that interacts with the PDGF receptor, a series of truncated p85 mutants was analyzed for association with immobilized PDGF receptor in vitro. We found that a fragment of p85 that contains a single Src homology domain, the C-terminal SH2 domain (SH2-C), was sufficient for directing the high-affinity interaction with the receptor. Half-maximal binding of SH2-C to the receptor was observed at an SH2-C concentration of 0.06 nM. SH2-C, like full-length p85, was able to distinguish between wild-type PDGF receptor and a mutant receptor lacking the PI 3-kinase binding site. An excess of SH2-C blocked binding of full-length p85 and PI 3-kinase to the receptor but did not interfere with the binding of two other SH2-containing proteins, phospholipase C-gamma and GTPase-activating protein. These results demonstrate that a region of p85 containing a single SH2 domain accounts both for the high affinity and specificity of binding of PI 3-kinase to the PDGF receptor.

The neu protooncogene encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor that is involved in the regulation of normal growth and malignant transformation. To circumvent the use of the incompletely characterized ligand of Neu, we constructed a chimeric protein composed of the ligand-binding domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic portions of Neu. By expressing this Neu-epidermal growth factor receptor chimera (termed NEC), we found that following stimulation by the heterologous ligand, the tyrosine kinase of Neu became associated with a phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase activity. The association was dependent on the concentration of the ligand and was almost maximal within 30 s after ligand binding. The lipid kinase was identified as a type I PI 3'-kinase on the basis of its inhibition by Nonidet P-40 and high pressure liquid chromatography of the phosphorylated product. To confirm the identification of PI 3'-kinase as an effector of Neu, we raised antibodies to the alpha-isoform of the regulatory subunit of PI 3'-kinase (p85). Using these antibodies, it was possible to directly demonstrate ligand-dependent formation of a tyrosine-phosphorylated complex of NEC and PI 3'-kinase. Apparently, both PI 3'-kinase and phospholipase C gamma, another substrate of the Neu kinase, simultaneously associated with the same activated NEC molecule. Nevertheless, immunofluorescence localization of PI 3'-kinase revealed no significant cellular redistribution of the enzyme after activation of the Neu kinase. Interestingly, PI 3'-kinase was localized primarily to the cell nucleus and to confined regions of the plasma membrane. Analysis of mutants of the Neu protein indicated that the oncogenic point-mutated Neu (Glu664) was permanently coupled to PI 3'-kinase; but two nontransforming versions of the oncoprotein, a kinase-defective protein and a carboxyl-terminally deleted Neu, were devoid of the constitutive association with PI 3'-kinase. Hence, we concluded that phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase is a physiological substrate of the Neu receptor, but the regulation of this coupling is released upon oncogenic activation.

The c-kit gene, mapped to the dominant white spotting (W) locus of the mouse (Chabot, B., Stephenson, D. A., Chapman, V. M., Besmer, P., and Bernstein, A. (1988) Nature 335, 88-89; Geissler, E. N., Ryan, M. A., and Housman, D. E. (1988) Cell 55, 185-192), encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, p145c-kit. Germline mutations at the W locus lead to loss of function alterations in p145c-kit, and result in mice with developmental defects of varying severity in the melanocytic, hematopoietic stem cell, and primordial germ cell lineages. To investigate in more detail the effect of W mutations on p145c-kit signaling, three mutations, W42, Wv, and W41, that confer severe, intermediate, and mild phenotypic characteristics, respectively, were introduced into the human p145c-kit tyrosine kinase domain. These mutations attenuated the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor to different degrees. In addition, they had differential effects on the interaction of the p145c-kit substrates, phospholipase C gamma, GTPase-activating protein, and the receptor-binding subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase, p85. Notably, the Wv mutation, while retaining significant receptor tyrosine kinase activity, was unable to bind phospholipase C gamma and GTPase-activating protein, but could still associate with p85. These results suggest that the location of W mutations may be an important determinant of the specificity of substrate association and phosphorylation, and may explain, at least in part, the cell type-specific defects associated with certain W alleles.

The cellular actions of nerve growth factor (NGF) involve changes in protein phosphorylation, initiated by the binding and subsequent activation of its tyrosine kinase receptor, the trk protooncogene (pp140c-trk). Upon exposure to NGF, a 38-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein (pp38) is identified in both PC-12 pheochromocytoma cells and NIH3T3 cells transfected with the full-length human pp140c-trk cDNA (3T3-c-trk) that is specifically coimmunoprecipitated with pp140c-trk or phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1. In both PC-12 and 3T3-c-trk cells, NGF rapidly stimulates the association of pp140c-trk and pp38 with a fusion protein containing the src homology (SH) domains of PLC gamma 1. This phosphorylation and subsequent association are specific for NGF, since epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and insulin do not stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins or their association with the PLC gamma 1 SH domains, although the receptors for these growth factors do undergo tyrosine phosphorylation and association with the PLC-gamma 1 fusion protein under these conditions. Furthermore, the NGF-dependent pp38-SH binding is specific for the SH2 domains of PLC-gamma 1, since the phosphoprotein does not bind to fusion proteins containing SH domains of ras GTPase-activating protein or the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase. Both amino- and carboxyl-terminal SH2 domains of PLC-gamma 1 are necessary for the association of pp38 with PLC-gamma 1, although each SH2 domain is sufficient for the association of pp140c-trk with PLC-gamma 1. In both PC-12 and 3T3-c-trk cells, the phosphorylation and association of pp38 with PLC gamma 1 is rapid, occurring maximally at 1 min and declining thereafter. Moreover, this effect of NGF is dose-dependent over a physiological concentration of the growth factor. The specificity and rapidity of pp38 phosphorylation and its association with PLC-gamma 1 suggest that it may be an important component in signal transduction for NGF.

Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a multifunctional cytokine that induces mitogenesis, motility, invasion, and morphogenesis of several epithelial and endothelial cell lines in culture. The receptor for HGF/SF has been identified as the Met tyrosine kinase. To investigate the signaling pathways that are involved in these events, we have generated chimeric receptors containing the extracellular domain of the colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) receptor fused to the transmembrane and intracellular domains of the Met receptor (MET). Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells expressing the CSF-MET chimera dissociate and scatter in response to CSF-1. However, cells expressing a mutant CSF-MET receptor containing a phenylalanine substitution for tyrosine 1356 were unable to scatter or form branching tubules following stimulation with CSF-1. Tyrosine 1356 is essential for the recruitment of multiple substrates including the p85 subunit of PI3-kinase, phospholipase C gamma, and Grb2. In this study, we have investigated the role of PI3-kinase and a downstream target of PI3-kinase, pp70S6K, in the induction of MDCK cell scatter in response to HGF/SF. Our results demonstrate that following stimulation with HGF/SF, activation of PI3-kinase but not pp70S6K is essential for MDCK cell scatter.

Src homology 2 (SH2) domains provide specificity to intracellular signaling by binding to specific phosphotyrosine (phospho-Tyr)-containing sequences. We recently developed a technique using a degenerate phosphopeptide library to predict the specificity of individual SH2 domains (src family members, Abl, Nck, Sem5, phospholipase C-gamma, p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, and SHPTP2 (Z. Songyang, S. E. Shoelson, M. Chaudhuri, G. Gish, T. Pawson, W. G. Haser, F. King, T. Roberts, S. Ratnofsky, R. J. Lechleider, B. G. Neel, R. B. Birge, J. E. Fajardo, M. M. Chou, H. Hanafusa, B. Schaffhausen, and L. C. Cantley, Cell 72:767-778, 1993). We report here the optimal recognition motifs for SH2 domains from GRB-2, Drk, Csk, Vav, fps/fes, SHC, Syk (carboxy-terminal SH2), 3BP2, and HCP (amino-terminal SH2 domain, also called PTP1C and SHPTP1). As predicted, SH2 domains from proteins that fall into group I on the basis of a Phe or Tyr at the beta D5 position (GRB-2, 3BP2, Csk, fps/fes, Syk C-terminal SH2) select phosphopeptides with the general motif phospho-Tyr-hydrophilic (residue)-hydrophilic (residue)-hydrophobic (residue). The SH2 domains of SHC and HCP (group III proteins with Ile, Leu, of Cys at the beta D5 position) selected the general motif phospho-Tyr-hydrophobic-Xxx-hydrophobic, also as predicted. Vav, which has a Thr at the beta D5 position, selected phospho-Tyr-Met-Glu-Pro as the optimal motif. Each SH2 domain selected a unique optimal motif distinct from motifs previously determined for other SH2 domains. These motifs are used to predict potential sites in signaling proteins for interaction with specific SH2 domain-containing proteins. The Syk SH2 domain is predicted to bind to Tyr-hydrophilic-hydrophilic-Leu/Ile motifs like those repeated at 10-residue intervals in T- and B-cell receptor-associated proteins. SHC is predicted to bind to a subgroup og these same motifs. A structural basis for the association of Csk with Src family members is also suggested from these studies.

The Kit/stem cell factor receptor (Kit/SCF-R) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor of importance for the normal development of hemopoietic cells, melanoblasts, and germ cells. We recently reported that protein kinase C (PKC) is involved in a negative feedback loop regulating the Kit/SCF-R by direct phosphorylation on serine residues in the receptor. Inhibition of PKC led to increased SCF-induced tyrosine kinase activity and mitogenicity, but PKC was necessary for SCF-induced motility. In this report we have further examined the modulatory role of PKC on SCF-induced signaling. The ligand-activated Kit/SCF-R associated weakly with GRB2 and induced only little tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma in porcine aortic endothelial cells transfected with Kit/SCF-R. In contrast, the SCF-stimulated Kit/SCF-R associated efficiently with, and induced tyrosine phosphorylation of, the p85 alpha regulatory subunit of phosphatidyl inositide-3'-kinase (PI-3'-kinase). Both receptor association and tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 alpha were increased after inhibition of PKC, while its serine phosphorylation was decreased. Concomitantly, the specific activity of receptor-associated PI-3'-kinase activity was increased. Inhibition of PI-3'-kinase with wortmannin inhibited SCF-induced mitogenicity. SCF-induced phosphorylation of Raf-1 and activation of ERK2 still occurred after PKC inhibition but was not increased. In conclusion, SCF-induced PI-3'-kinase activation paralleled the increased SCF-induced mitogenicity after inhibition of PKC.

In T lymphocytes, several proteins are rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosine after stimulation. In this study we examine the ability of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins from Jurkat T cells stimulated by CD2 or T cell receptor (TcR)-CD3 to interact with the src homology 2 (SH2) domains from p56lck (Lck). Our data show that the patterns are different depending on the stimulation. The specificity of the interactions was assessed by blocking experiments with high affinity phosphotyrosine [Y(P)] peptides. Phosphorylation experiments suggest that one or several kinases are able to interact with the SH2 from Lck. On the other hand, full length Lck overexpressed in Sf9 cells, which is tyrosine-phosphorylated at least on two sites, can interact in vitro with the SH2 from Lck, phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1, p85 (the regulatory subunit of phosphatidyl-inositol-3 kinase (PI3K)) and Nck and with the full length Grb2. These data give additional support to the idea that Lck is an important signal transducing molecule in lymphocytes.

We have cloned a protein tyrosine kinase, MATK, which is expressed abundantly in megakaryocytes and the brain. We investigated whether MATK participates in the c-Kit ligand/stem cell factor (KL/SCF) signaling pathway in the megakaryocytic cell line CMK. After KL/SCF stimulation, five major proteins of molecular masses of 145, 113, 92, 76, and 63 kDa were rapidly and transiently tyrosine-phosphorylated in a time-dependent manner, peaking within 5 min, and returning to basal levels within 60 min. To study the role of MATK in the KL/SCF signaling pathway, glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins containing SH2 and SH3 domains of MATK were cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified. MATK-SH2, but not MATK-SH3, precipitated the tyrosine-phosphorylated c-Kit (molecular mass of 145 kDa) in KL/SCF-stimulated CMK cells. Other GST fusion proteins containing the SH2 domain of p85 of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, phospholipase C gamma-1, and ras-GAP also precipitated c-Kit. The tyrosine-phosphorylated c-Kit was co-immunoprecipitated with anti-MATK and anti-p85 antibodies in KL/SCF-stimulated CMK cells, but not in granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor or interleukin-6-stimulated cells, suggesting receptor specificity. These results indicate that MATK associates with the c-Kit receptor following specific stimulation by KL/SCF via its SH2 domain and likely participates in transduction of growth signals induced by this cytokine in megakaryocytes.

Cellular growth and differentiation signals are generated and defined by the interaction of specific phosphotyrosine residues of activated receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and src homology-2 (SH2) domain-containing intracellular signal transducers. This appears to involve for both the p145c-kit and beta platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) cytoplasmic domains the formation of multiprotein signal transfer complexes, which include combinations of noncatalytic and enzymatically active subunits of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3'-K), phospholipase C-gamma (PLC gamma), and guanosine trisphosphatase activating protein (GAP). In vitro association experiments indicate that PLC gamma and PI3'-K bind the beta PDGF-R simultaneously, while these two SH2 proteins compete for association to p145c-kit binding sites, with p85/PI3'-K exhibiting higher affinity. Interestingly, GAP and p85/PI3'-K binding to distinct p145c-kit phosphotyrosines is cooperative, enhancing formation of a heterotetrameric signaling complex, which may include different combinations of p85 alpha and p85 beta with p110, p112, and p116 by interaction with the same tyrosine 721 docking site. The diversity of molecular interactions observed for PDGF-R and p145c-kit suggests a new mode of signal definition and modulation.
