Activation of receptor-linked and cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinases is crucial in the control of normal and abnormal cell growth and differentiation. Some substrates of protein tyrosine kinases such as phospholipase C gamma and ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP) contain sequences homologous to the src protein domains SH2 and SH3 (refs 3-9). The proto-oncogene vav is expressed in haematopoietic cells and its product Vav contains sequence motifs commonly found in transcription factors, such as helix-loop-helix, leucine-zipper and zinc-finger motifs and nuclear localization signals, as well as a single SH2 and two SH3 domains. Here we show that stimulation of T-cell antigen receptor on normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes or on human leukaemic T cells, and the crosslinking of IgE receptors on rat basophilic leukaemia cells, both promote the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in Vav. Moreover, activation of the receptor for epidermal growth factor leads to marked tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav in cells transiently expressing vav, and Vav associates with the receptor through its SH2 domain. We propose that vav encodes a new class of substrates whose tyrosine phosphorylation may provide a mechanism for direct signal transduction linking receptors at the cell surface to transcriptional control.

The mitogenic neuropeptides bombesin and vasopressin markedly increased tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of multiple substrates in quiescent Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts, including two major bands of Mr 90,000 and 115,000. Tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins was increased as judged by immunoprecipitation of 32Pi-labeled cells and immunoblotting of unlabeled cells with monoclonal antiphosphotyrosine antibodies, elution with phenyl phosphate, and phospho amino acid analysis. Phosphotyrosyl proteins generated by bombesin and vasopressin did not correspond either by apparent molecular weight or by immunological and biochemical criteria to several known tyrosine kinase substrates, including phospholipase C gamma, the microtubule-associated protein 2 kinase, GTPase-activating protein, or phosphatidylinositol kinase. The effect was rapid (within seconds), concentration dependent, and inhibited by specific receptor antagonists for both bombesin and vasopressin. The endothelin-related peptide, vasoactive intestinal contractor, also elicited a rapid and concentration-dependent tyrosine/serine phosphorylation of a similar set of substrates. These results demonstrate that neuropeptides, acting through receptors linked to GTP-binding proteins, stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of a common set of substrates in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells and suggest the existence of an additional signal transduction pathway in neuropeptide-induced mitogenesis.

The erbB-2 gene product, gp185erbB-2, unlike the structurally related epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR), exhibits constitutive kinase and transforming activity. We used a chimeric EGFR/erbB-2 expression vector to compare the mitogenic signaling pathway of the erbB-2 kinase with that of the EGFR, at similar levels of expression, in response to EGF stimulation. The EGFR/erbB-2 chimera was significantly more active in inducing DNA synthesis than the EGFR when either was expressed in NIH 3T3 cells. Analysis of biochemical pathways implicated in signal transduction by growth factor receptors indicated that both phospholipase C type gamma (PLC-gamma) and the p21ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP) are substrates for the erbB-2 kinase in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. However, under conditions in which activation of the erbB-2 kinase induced DNA synthesis at least fivefold more efficiently than the EGFR, the levels of erbB-2- or EGFR-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma and GAP were comparable. In addition, the stoichiometry of tyrosine phosphorylation of these putative substrates by erbB-2 appeared to be at least an order of magnitude lower than that induced by platelet-derived growth factor receptors at comparable levels of mitogenic potency. Thus, our results indicate that differences in tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma and GAP do not account for the differences in mitogenic activity of the erbB-2 kinase compared with either the EGFR or platelet-derived growth factor receptor in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates autophosphorylation of the PDGF receptor and association of the receptor with several cytoplasmic molecules, including phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3 kinase). In this study we examined the association of PI3 kinase with immunoprecipitated autophosphorylated PDGF receptor in vitro. The PI3 kinase from cell lysates bound to the wild-type receptor but not to a mutant receptor that had a deletion of the kinase insert region. A protein of an apparent size of 85 kDa bound to the receptor, consistent with previous observations that a protein of this size is associated with PI3 kinase activity. In addition, 110- and 74-kDa proteins bound to the phosphorylated receptor. Dephosphorylated receptors lost the ability to bind PI3 kinase activity as well as the 85-kDa protein. A 20-amino-acid peptide composed of a sequence in the kinase insert region that included one of the autophosphorylation sites of the receptor (tyrosine 719) as well as a nearby tyrosine (Y708) blocked the binding of PI3 kinase to the receptor, but only when the peptide was phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. A scrambled version of the peptide did not block PI3 kinase binding to the receptor even when it was phosphorylated on tyrosine. These tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides did not block binding of phospholipase C-gamma or GTPase-activating protein to the receptor. In separate experiments (receptor blots), soluble radiolabeled receptor bound specifically to an 85-kDa protein present in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis-fractionated 3T3 cell lysates that were transferred to nitrocellulose paper. The binding was blocked by the same tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides that prevented binding of PI3 kinase activity to immobilized receptors. These findings show that the PDGF receptor binds directly to an 85-kDa protein and to a PI3 kinase activity through specific sequences in the kinase insert region. The association of a 110-kDa protein with the receptor also involve these sequences, suggesting that this protein may be a subunit of the PI3 kinase. Phosphotyrosine is an essential structure required for the interactions of these proteins with the PDGF receptor.

Cytoplasmic proteins that regulate signal transduction or induce cellular transformation, including cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine kinases, p21ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP), phospholipase C gamma, and the v-crk oncoprotein, possess one or two copies of a conserved noncatalytic domain, Src homology region 2 (SH2). Here we provide direct evidence that SH2 domains can mediate the interactions of these diverse signaling proteins with a related set of phosphotyrosine ligands, including the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. In src-transformed cells GAP forms heteromeric complexes, notably with a highly tyrosine phosphorylated 62-kDa protein (p62). The stable association between GAP and p62 can be specifically reconstituted in vitro by using a bacterial polypeptide containing only the N-terminal GAP SH2 domain. The efficient phosphorylation of p62 by the v-Src or v-Fps tyrosine kinases depends, in turn, on their SH2 domains and correlates with their transforming activity. In lysates of EGF-stimulated cells, the N-terminal GAP SH2 domain binds to both the EGF receptor and p62. Fusion proteins containing GAP or v-Crk SH2 domains complex with similar phosphotyrosine proteins from src-transformed or EGF-stimulated cells but with different efficiencies. SH2 sequences, therefore, form autonomous domains that direct signaling proteins, such as GAP, to bind specific phosphotyrosine-containing polypeptides. By promoting the formation of these complexes, SH2 domains are ideally suited to regulate the activation of intracellular signaling pathways by growth factors.

The biological responses of epidermal growth factor (EGF) are mediated by a surface receptor denoted as the EGF receptor. The EGF receptor possesses intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activity which is essential for signal transduction. Recent evidence shows that EGF receptor phosphorylates several substances including: phospholipase C-gamma and the GTPase-activating protein (GAP). Moreover, these proteins become associated with the activated receptor in an immunocomplex. Autophosphorylation of the EGF receptor appears to be required for the association with phospholipase C-gamma. Mutational analysis indicates that the intrinsic autophosphorylation sites compete with exogenous substrates for the substrate-binding site in the kinase domain. The ligand-binding site for EGF was analysed using a chimeric receptor approach. Subdomains of the extracellular ligand-binding region of the chicken EGF receptor, which binds EGF with low affinity, were replaced by corresponding regions of the human EGF receptor, which binds EGF with high affinity. On the basis of this analysis, it is concluded that subdomain III of the extracellular domain of the EGF receptor is a major ligand-binding domain. Together, domain I and domain III are able to reconstitute nearly all interactions which bring about high-affinity binding. Growth factor receptors with protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity could be envisioned as membrane-associated allosteric enzymes. Unlike water-soluble allosteric enzymes, the configuration of the growth factor receptors dictates that the ligand-binding domain and PTK activity of the receptor molecules are separated by the plasma membrane. Therefore, ligand-induced signal must cross the membrane barrier to activate the PTK function.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A conserved noncatalytic domain SH2 (for src homology region 2) is located immediately N terminal to the kinase domains of all cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine kinases. We found that the wild-type v-fps SH2 domain stimulated the enzymatic activity of the adjacent kinase domain 10-fold and functioned as a powerful positive effector of catalytic and transforming activities within the v-fps oncoprotein (P130gag-fps). Partial proteolysis of P130gag-fps and supporting genetic data indicated that the v-fps SH2 domain exerts its effect on catalytic activity through an intramolecular interaction with the kinase domain. Amino acid alterations in the SH2 domain that impaired kinase function interfered with association of the SH2 domain with the kinase domain. Deletion of a conserved octapeptide motif converted the v-fps SH2 domain from an activator to an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase activity. This latent inhibitory activity of v-fps SH2 has functional implications for phospholipase C-gamma and p21ras GTPase-activating protein, both of which have two distinct SH2 domains suggestive of complex regulation. In addition to regulating the specific activity of the kinase domain, the SH2 domain of P130gag-fps was also found to be required for the tyrosine phosphorylation of specific cellular proteins, notably polypeptides of 124 and 62 kilodaltons. The SH2 domain therefore appears to play a dual role in regulation of kinase activity and recognition of cellular substrates.

We have studied the signal transduction pathways of fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 (FGFR-4) and FGFR-1, which showed virtually identical acidic fibroblast growth factor binding profiles as well as tyrosine autophosphorylation upon activation in transfected L6 rat myoblasts and NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts. A prominently tyrosyl-phosphorylated doublet of polypeptides of 85 kDa coprecipitated with activated FGFR-4 from both cell lines studied, but these polypeptides were not detected upon immunoprecipitation of activated FGFR-1. Furthermore, FGFR-4 induced only a weak tyrosyl phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma and no detectable tyrosyl phosphorylation of the SHC adaptor proteins in contrast to FGFR-1. No phosphorylation of Ras GTPase-activating protein, p64 Syp/PTP1D tyrosine phosphatase, or association of the GRB2 adaptor protein SH2 domain with these receptors was detected. Unlike FGFR-1, FGFR-4 induced only a barely detectable phosphorylation of the cellular serine/threonine kinase Raf-1 and a weaker tyrosyl phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases than FGFR-1. Despite these differences, stimulation of both receptors resulted in increased DNA synthesis.

p62 is a highly tyrosyl phosphorylated protein that was first identified in immunoprecipitates of the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) of p21ras from cells transformed by oncogenic nonreceptor tyrosine kinases or stimulated through tyrosine kinase receptors (C. Ellis, M. Moran, F. McCormick, and T. Pawson, Nature 343:377-381, 1991). In this article we describe a highly related 62-kDa protein that becomes tyrosyl phosphorylated and associated with phospholipase C gamma (PLC gamma) in C3H10T1/2 cells stimulated with epidermal growth factor (EGF) or transformed by v-src. GAP-associated and PLC gamma-associated p62 comigrated in one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and exhibited nearly identical phosphotryptic peptide patterns. That the association of p62 with PLC gamma was direct and not mediated through binding of GAP-p62 to PLC gamma or to the EGF receptor (and coprecipitation of the receptor with PLC gamma) was demonstrated by (i) the inability to detect GAP in PLC gamma immunocomplexes or PLC gamma in GAP immunocomplexes, (ii) the association of p62 with PLC gamma in v-src-transformed cells in the absence of EGF stimulation, and (iii) in vitro solution binding and direct blotting of p62 with a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of PLC gamma. Unlike GAP, whose N-terminal SH2 mediates the interaction between GAP and p62, PLC gamma was found to require both its N- and C-terminal SH2 regions for p62 binding. These studies demonstrate that a protein identical to or highly related to GAP-associated p62 binds PLC gamma and suggest a means by which "cross-talk" between PLC gamma- and GAP-mediated signalling may occur.

In rabbit aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma, p120 GTPase-activating protein, and the p85 alpha subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase only at high concentrations (5-25 ng/ml). In contrast, PDGF-BB induced a rapid and concentration-dependent increase in p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) tyrosine phosphorylation, which was half-maximal and maximum at 1 and 2.5 ng/ml, respectively. Saliently, stimulation of p125FAK tyrosine phosphorylation was sustained at up to 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB and for prolonged times of treatment. With similar concentration dependence, PDGF-BB stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of the 68-kDa focal adhesion-associated protein, paxillin. PDGF-BB also induced p125FAK and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation in human aortic VSMC. PDGF-BB caused no detectable disruption of the actin cytoskeleton in VSMC. PDGF-BB stimulated rabbit VSMC migration with a very similar concentration dependence to that for p125FAK and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation. PDGF-BB was equally effective in stimulating p125FAK and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation under conditions similar to those used for cell migration. In Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts, PDGF-BB and -AA stimulated p125FAK tyrosine phosphorylation and cell migration only at low concentrations, and stimulation was abolished at 10-25 ng/ml. PDGF-AA failed to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation, mitogenesis, and chemotaxis in rabbit VSMC, and immunoblot analysis showed that rabbit VSMC expressed PDGF beta-receptors but no alpha-receptors. These results implicate p125FAK in the chemotactic response to PDGF-BB and suggest that the ability of PDGF-BB to trigger the p125FAK pathway may be dependent both upon cell type and receptor isotype expression.
