The importance of growth factor-mediated immediate-early cellular events to the cell cycle has influenced the development and identity of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes as well as the concept that growth factors commit mammalian cells to enter a biochemical program that ultimately yields DNA synthesis. However, the mid and late events involved in the regulation of growth factor-induced signal transduction remain largely unknown. In this report we demonstrate that BALB/c 3T3 cells require continuous exposure to fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1 for a minimum of 12 h to achieve near maximal DNA synthesis. This correlates with the continuous internalization of radiolabeled FGF-1 into the cytosol and nucleus of BALB/c 3T3 cells and the maintenance of a low level of FGF receptors on the cell surface during the entire G1 phase of the cell cycle. Further analysis demonstrates the maintenance of a continuous series of differential FGF-1-induced tyrosine phosphorylation events including the phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma as well as novel FGF receptor polypeptide substrates, p60, p85, p90, and p130 throughout the G1 phase of the BALB/c 3T3 cell cycle. The tyrosine phosphorylation events are biphasic during the 12-h period after the administration of FGF-1, and the second phase is characterized by hyper-tyrosine phosphorylation of p60, p85, and p130. Interestingly, NIH 3T3 cells which overexpress the FGF receptor-1 polypeptide demonstrate exaggerated tyrosine phosphorylation of p60 and p85 but not p90 and exhibit growth factor-independent cell proliferation. These results suggest that the initiation of DNA synthesis in BALB/c 3T3 cells by FGF-1 is regulated by a complex biochemical program that involves the continuous tyrosine phosphorylation of known and novel polypeptides throughout the G0 to G1 transition period of the cell cycle.

The intracellular effects of bradykinin are mediated through the recently cloned B2 kinin receptor which belongs to the superfamily of receptors with seven transmembrane domains. The molecular events which transduce the bradykinin signal on the post-receptor level are not understood in detail. We studied whether in human foreskin fibroblasts bradykinin treatment induces tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins. Using phosphotyrosine antibodies we detected a bradykinin-dependent phosphorylation of a group of proteins of about 130 kDa and an additional signal around 70kDa after starvation of cells. The effect evoked by 10 nM bradykinin was rapid (2 min) and it was partially reduced by the B2-kinin-receptor antagonist Hoe 140 which was shown to be a weak inducer of tyrosine phosphorylation. The bradykinin-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation events were reproduced in human embryonal kidney 293 fibroblasts which were transiently transfected with the rat B2 kinin receptor, but they were not observed in untransfected 293 control cells. These data suggest that the B2 kinin-receptor subtype is involved. Upon fractionation of cells the 130kDa protein group was recovered both in the membrane and the cytosolic protein fraction. To assess the specificity of this bradykinin effect we stimulated human foreskin fibroblasts with epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and insulin. While IGF-I, insulin and EGF were almost ineffective, PDGF stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of 130-kDa bands with a similar pattern to that produced by bradykinin. Immunoprecipitation experiments with specific antibodies against potential candidate proteins in the molecular-mass range around 130kDa revealed positive results for the focal adhesion kinase FAK and the p130 Src substrate while negative results were obtained for the GTPase-activating protein GAP, the phospholipase C-gamma1, the Janus kinase JAK-1 and vinculin. The data suggest that the tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and the pl30 Src substrate might be involved in the B2-kinin-receptor signalling cascade.

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) binds to cells via a specific glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored receptor. Although occupancy of the uPA receptor (uPAR) has been shown to alter cellular function and to induce gene expression, the signaling mechanism has not been characterized. Urokinase induced an increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple proteins in bovine aortic endothelial cells. In contrast, low molecular weight uPA did not induce this response. Analysis by immunoblotting demonstrated tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), the focal adhesion-associated proteins paxillin and p130(cas), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) following the occupancy of the uPAR by uPA. Treatment of cells with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, which cleaves glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked proteins from the cell surface, blocked the uPA-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK, indicating the requirement of an intact uPAR on the cell surface. The uPA-induced activation of MAPK was completely inhibited by genistein, but not by 4-amino-5-(4-methylphenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3, 4-d]pyrimidine, a specific inhibitor of Src family kinases. Thus, this study demonstrates a novel role for the uPAR in endothelial cell signal transduction that involves the activation of FAK and MAPK, which are mediated by the receptor-binding domain of uPA. This may have important implications for the mechanism through which uPA influences cell migration and differentiation.

The pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of phospholipase C (PLC)-delta1 and a related catalytically inactive protein, p130, both bind inositol phosphates and inositol lipids. The binding to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] by PLC-delta1 is proposed to be the critical interaction required for membrane localization to where the substrate resides; it is also required for the Ca(2+)-dependent activation of PLC-delta1 observed in the permeabilized cells. In the proximity of the PH domain, both PLC-delta1 and p130 possess the EF-hand domain, containing classical motifs implicated in calcium binding. Therefore, in the present study we examined whether the binding of the PH domain to PtdIns(4,5)P2 is regulated by changes in free Ca2+ concentration within the physiological range. A Ca2+ dependent increase in the binding to PtdIns(4,5)P2 was observed with a full-length PLC-delta1, while the isolated PH domain did not show any Ca2+ dependence. However, the connection of the EF-hand motifs to the PH domain restored the Ca2+ dependent increase in binding, even in the absence of the C2 domain. The p130 protein showed similar properties to PLC-delta1, and the EF-hand motifs were again required for the PH domain to exhibit a Ca2+ dependent increase in the binding to PtdIns(4,5)P2. The isolated PH domains from several other proteins which have been demonstrated to bind PtdIns(4,5)P2 showed no Ca2+ dependent enhancement of binding. However, when present within a chimera also containing PLC-delta1 EF-hand motifs, the Ca2+ dependent binding was again observed. These results suggest that the binding of Ca2+ to the EF-hand motifs can modulate binding to PtdIns(4,5)P2 mediated by the PH domain.

The 130-kDa protein (p130) was isolated as a novel inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]-binding protein similar to phospholipase C-delta1 (PLC-delta1), but lacking catalytic activity [Kanematsu, T., Takeya, H., Watanabe, Y., Ozaki, S., Yoshida, M., Koga, T., Iwanaga, S. & Hirata, M. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 6518-6525; Kanematsu, T., Misumi, Y., Watanabe, Y., Ozaki, S., Koga, T., Iwanaga, S., Ikehara, Y. & Hirata, M. (1996) Biochem. J. 313, 319-325]. To test experimentally the domain organization of p130 and structural basis for lack of PLC activity, we subjected p130 to limited proteolysis and also constructed a number of chimeras with PLC-delta1. Trypsin treatment of p130 produced four major polypeptides with molecular masses of 86 kDa, 55 kDa, 33 kDa and 25 kDa. Two polypeptides of 86 kDa and 55 kDa started at Lys93 and were calculated to end at Arg851 and Arg568, respectively. Using the same approach, it has been found that the polypeptides of 33 kDa and 25 kDa are likely to correspond to regions between Val569 and Arg851 and Lys869 and Leu1096, respectively. All the proteolytic sites were in interconnecting regions between the predicted domains, therefore supporting domain organization based on sequence similarity to PLC-delta1 and demonstrating that all domains of p130, including the unique region at the C-terminus, are stable, tightly folded structures. p130 truncated at either or both the N-terminus (94 amino acids) and C-terminus (851-1096 amino acids) expressed in COS-1 cells showed no catalytic activity, indicating that p130 has intrinsically no PLC activity. A number of chimeric molecules between p130 and PLC-delta1 were constructed and assayed for PLC activity. It was shown that structural differences in interdomain interactions exist between the two proteins, as only some domains of p130 could replace the corresponding structures in PLC-delta1 to form a functional enzyme. These results suggest that p130 and the related proteins could represent a new protein family that may play some distinct role in cells due to the capability of binding Ins(1,4,5)P3 but the lack of catalytic activity.

p130 was originally identified as an Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-binding protein similar to phospholipase C-delta but lacking any phospholipase activity. In the present study we have further analysed the interactions of p130 with inositol compounds in vitro. To determine which of the potential ligands interacts with p130 in cells, we performed an analysis of the cellular localization of this protein, the isolation of a protein-ligand complex from cell lysates and studied the effects of p130 on Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-mediated Ca(2+) signalling by using permeabilized and transiently or stably transfected COS-1 cells (COS-1(p130)). In vitro, p130 bound Ins(1,4,5)P(3) with a higher affinity than that for phosphoinositides. When the protein was isolated from COS-1(p130) cells by immunoprecipitation, it was found to be associated with Ins(1,4,5)P(3). Localization studies demonstrated the presence of the full-length p130 in the cytoplasm of living cells, not at the plasma membrane. In cell-based assays, p130 had an inhibitory effect on Ca(2+) signalling. When fura-2-loaded COS-1(p130) cells were stimulated with bradykinin, epidermal growth factor or ATP, it was found that the agonist-induced increase in free Ca(2+) concentration, observed in control cells, was inhibited in COS-1(p130). This inhibition was not accompanied by the decreased production of Ins(1,4,5)P(3); the intact p130 pleckstrin homology domain, known to be the ligand-binding site in vitro, was required for this effect in cells. These results suggest that Ins(1,4,5)P(3) could be the main p130 ligand in cells and that this binding has the potential to inhibit Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-mediated Ca(2+) signalling.

The intracellularly acting protein toxin of Pasteurella multocida (PMT) causes numerous effects in cells, including activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) signaling, Ca(2+) mobilization, protein phosphorylation, morphological changes, and DNA synthesis. The direct intracellular target of PMT responsible for activation of the IP(3) pathway is the G(q/11)alpha-protein, which stimulates phospholipase C (PLC) beta1. The relationship between PMT-mediated activation of the G(q/11)-PLC-IP(3) pathway and its ability to promote mitogenesis and cellular proliferation is not clear. PMT stimulation of p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase occurs upstream via G(q/11)-dependent transactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor. We have further characterized the effects of PMT on the downstream mitogenic response and cell cycle progression in Swiss 3T3 and Vero cells. PMT treatment caused dramatic morphological changes in both cell lines. In Vero cells, limited multinucleation, nuclear fragmentation, and disruption of cytokinesis were also observed; however, a strong mitogenic response occurred only with Swiss 3T3 cells. Significantly, this mitogenic response was not sustained. Cell cycle analysis revealed that after the initial mitogenic response to PMT, both cell types subsequently arrested primarily in G(1) and became unresponsive to further PMT treatment. In Swiss 3T3 cells, PMT induced up-regulation of c-Myc; cyclins D1, D2, D3, and E; p21; PCNA; and the Rb proteins, p107 and p130. In Vero cells, PMT failed to up-regulate PCNA and cyclins D3 and E. We also found that the initial PMT-mediated up-regulation of several of these signaling proteins was not sustained, supporting the subsequent cell cycle arrest. The consequences of PMT entry thus depend on the differential regulation of signaling pathways within different cell types.

CD146 (S-Endo 1 Ag or MUC18) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on endothelial cells on the whole vascular tree. CD146 is located at the intercellular junction where it plays a role in the cohesion of the endothelial monolayer. CD146 engagement initiates an outside-in signaling pathway involving the protein tyrosine kinases FYN and FAK as well as paxillin. Here we report that CD146 engagement by its specific monoclonal antibody in human umbilical vein endothelial cells induces a Ca(2+) influx that is sensitive to thapsigargin and EGTA treatment, indicating that CD146 engagement initiates a store-operated calcium mobilization. In addition, biochemical and pharmacological analysis revealed that CD146 engagement initiates the tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma, Pyk2, and p130(Cas). Pharmacological inhibition of Ca(2+) flux with 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acetoxymethyl ester and EGTA indicated that an increase in Ca(2+) is required for Pyk2 and p130(Cas) tyrosine phosphorylation. Moreover, a complex association was observed between Pyk2, p130(Cas), and paxillin. These results indicate that CD146 is coupled to a FYN-dependent pathway that triggers Ca(2+) flux via phospholipase C-gamma activation leading subsequently to the tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream targets such as Pyk2, p130(Cas), FAK, and paxillin. In addition to its role in cell-cell adhesion, CD146 is a signaling molecule involved in the dynamics of actin cytoskeleton rearrangement.

The protein p130 was originally isolated from rat brain as an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-binding protein with a domain organization similar to that of phospholipase C-delta1 but which lacks phospholipase C activity. Yeast two-hybrid screening of a human brain cDNA library for clones that encode proteins that interact with p130 has now led to the identification of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1calpha) as a p130-binding protein. The association between p130 and PP1calpha was also confirmed in vitro by an overlay assay, a "pull-down" assay, and surface plasmon resonance analysis. The interaction of p130 with PP1calpha resulted in inhibition of the catalytic activity of the latter in a p130 concentration-dependent manner. Immunoprecipitation and immunoblot analysis of COS-1 cells that stably express p130 and of mouse brain extract with antibodies to p130 and to PP1calpha also detected the presence of a complex of p130 and PP1calpha. The activity of glycogen phosphorylase, which is negatively regulated by dephosphorylation by PP1calpha, was higher in COS-1 cells that stably express p130 than in control COS-1 cells. These results suggest that, in addition to its role in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and Ca(2+) signaling, p130 might also contribute to regulation of protein dephosphorylation through its interaction with PP1calpha.

The protein p130 was isolated from rat brain as an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-binding protein with a domain organization similar to that of phospholipase C-delta1 but lacking PLC activity. We show that p130 plays an important role in signaling by the type A receptor for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Yeast twohybrid screening identified GABARAP (GABA(A) receptor-associated protein), which is proposed to contribute to the sorting, targeting or clustering of GABA(A) receptors, as a protein that interacts with p130. Furthermore, p130 competitively inhibited the binding of the gamma2 subunit of the GABA(A) receptor to GABARAP in vitro. Electrophysiological analysis revealed that the modulation of GABA-induced Cl- current by Zn2+ or diazepam, both of which act at GABA(A) receptors containing gamma subunits, is impaired in hippocampal neurons of p130 knockout mice. Moreover, behavioral analysis revealed that motor coordination was impaired and the intraperitoneal injection of diazepam induced markedly reduced sedative and antianxiety effects in the mutant mice. These results indicate that p130 is essential for the function of GABA(A) receptors, especially in response to the agents acting on a gamma2 subunit.
