The chimeric EK-receptor (EK-R), consisting of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) extracellular binding domain and p145c-kit cytoplasmic signal-generating sequences, was fully functional in forming high and low affinity EGF binding sites and in ligand-regulated receptor and substrate phosphorylation activities. Relative to EGF-R, EK-R activation stimulated kit-characteristic phosphorylation of human 293 fibroblast substrate polypeptides. Transient coexpression of EK-R with candidate substrates resulted in ligand-induced phosphorylation of phospholipase C gamma and guanosine triphosphatase-activating polypeptide. The RAF-1 serine/threonine kinase was shown to be associated with activated EK-R, but no tyrosine phosphorylation could be detected. The faithfulness of EK-R substrate phosphorylation specificity was confirmed with stem cell factor-stimulated p145c-kit.

Five protein kinases are shown to serve as specific phosphatases in the absence of ADP. Although the rates of hydrolysis are very slow compared to the forward phosphorylation rates under optimal conditions, they are of the same order as the reverse reaction in the presence of ADP. Because cells contain approximately equal to 3 mM ATP, neither the reverse reaction nor the phosphatase is likely to play a physiological role. beta-casein B phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) is specifically dephosphorylated by protein kinase A but not by polypeptide-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase P). beta-casein B phosphorylated by protein kinase P is specifically dephosphorylated by protein kinase P but not by protein kinase A. Histone H1 phosphorylated by protein kinase C is dephosphorylated by the same enzyme in the absence of ADP. In all cases tested addition of ADP and F1-ATPase accelerates moderately the rate of dephosphorylation. Native H+-ATPase from yeast plasma membranes is isolated mainly in the phosphorylated form. It is dephosphorylated and rephosphorylated by protein kinase P but not by protein kinase A. Protein-tyrosine kinase of the epidermal growth factor receptor phosphorylates the random synthetic polypeptide poly(Glu80Tyr20). The phosphorylated polymer is specifically dephosphorylated in the absence of ADP by epidermal growth factor receptor preparations but not by insulin receptor preparations. The same polymer phosphorylated by insulin receptor is dephosphorylated by insulin receptor but not by epidermal growth factor receptor preparations. By using a cycle of dephosphorylation-rephosphorylation, it is possible to identify proteins that are phosphorylated by these protein kinases in vivo. Should this method be applicable to additional protein kinases, it should be possible to estimate the quantitative contribution of each protein kinase to a single phosphoprotein.

The time and dose-dependent effects of the in vivo administration of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), on hepatic microsomal membrane functions, were studied in female Wistar rats. Administration of HCB (100 mg/100 g b.w.) resulted in time-dependent decreases in the activity of two membrane-bound enzymes: 5'nucleotidase and Na+/K+ ATPase. HCB was found to cause a significant rise in protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity during the early stages of intoxication (day 2), followed by a significant decrease at 10 days, returning to control levels after 20 days of treatment. A stimulatory effect of HCB on in vitro endogenous microsomal protein phosphorylation was observed from 2 days of intoxication up to 30 days of treatment, with an important stimulation of phosphorylation at 5 days. Administration of HCB (100 mg/100 g b.w.) for 10 days caused a 50% reduction in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) ligand binding. The effects of known specific inhibitors of protein phosphatases on endogenous protein phosphorylation were studied. HCB affected the labelling of several bands, as well as the 5'nucleotidase and PTK activities, in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, this study indicated that the in vivo administration of HCB results in a significant alteration of membrane function.

The proprotein-processing endoprotease furin is localized in the gastric epithelial cells of the pit region in the rat gastric gland. The gastric pit is composed of several cell types, including gastric surface mucosal (GSM) cells and parietal cells. Furin converts many growth- or differentiation-related proproteins to their active forms. We examined identification of furin-positive cells by immunostaining of rat gastric mucosa and regulators of the furin expression by measuring the furin promoter activity by luciferase assay. Furin-positive cells were stained for H(+)-K(+)-ATPase, indicating that they are parietal cells. Furin-positive parietal cells were not stained for transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) but were surrounded by TGF-alpha-positive GSM cells. In contrast, parietal cells below the proliferative zone were positive for TGF-alpha but not for furin. Furin-positive parietal cells expressed a high level of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). TGF-alpha stimulated the furin promoter activity highly in a mouse GSM cell line GSM06. Thus we suggest that the parietal cells of the pit region have furin-mediated functions that can be stimulated by EGFR signaling.

S3-v-erbB is a retroviral oncogene that encodes a ligand-independent, transforming mutant of the epidermal growth factor receptor. This oncogene has been shown to be sarcomagenic in vivo and to transform fibroblasts in vitro. Our previous studies (McManus, M. J., Lingle, W. L., Salisbury, J. L., and Maihle, N. J. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 94, 11351-11356) showed that expression of S3-v-erbB in primary fibroblasts results in the tyrosine phosphorylation of caldesmon (CaD), an actin- and calmodulin-binding protein. This phosphorylation is transformation-associated, and the phosphorylated form of CaD is associated with a signaling complex consisting of Shc, Grb2, and Sos in transformed fibroblasts. To identify the tyrosine phosphorylation site(s) in the CaD molecule and to further elucidate the functional role of CaD tyrosine phosphorylation in S3-v-ErbB oncogenic signaling, we have generated a series of mutant CaDs in which one or more tyrosine residues have been replaced with phenylalanine. Using a CaD null cell line, DF1 cells (an immortalized chicken embryo fibroblast cell line), and transient transfection assays, we demonstrated that Tyr-27 and Tyr-393 are the major sites of tyrosine phosphorylation on CaD. Interestingly, Tyr-27 is located within the myosin binding domain of CaD, and Tyr-393 is adjacent to one of the major actin binding and actomyosin ATPase inhibitory domains. Our studies also show that the tyrosine phosphorylation of CaD enhances its binding to the Shc.Grb2 complex. Specifically, replacement of Tyr-27, but not of Tyr-165 or Tyr-393, significantly reduces the ability of CaD to interact with the Shc. Grb2 complex. Together, these studies demonstrate that the major sites of tyrosine phosphorylation on CaD are located in the myosin and actin binding domains of CaD and that Tyr-27 is the major tyrosine phosphorylation site through which CaD interacts with the Shc.Grb2 complex.

Human papillomavirus type 16 E5 protein (HPV16 E5) upregulates ligand-mediated activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in transfected human keratinocytes. HPV16 E5 binds to the 16 kDa proteolipid (subunit c) of the vacuolar H+-ATPase (16K), responsible for endosomal acidification, and this binding has been suggested to be responsible for increased recycling of the EGFRs. Using mutant deletions we show here that amino acids 54-78, but not 79-83 are necessary for binding to the 16K proteolipid. EGF treatment of cells expressing wild type or mutants of the E5 protein show that deletion of the last carboxy terminal 5 amino acids results in loss of E5-mediated EGFR overactivation. Thus, our results show that the binding capacity of HPV16 E5 to 16K can be dissociated from the effect of the viral protein on EGFR activation.

The glycosylation of integrins and other cell surface receptors is altered in many transformed cells. Notably, an increase in the number of beta1,6-branched N-linked oligosaccharides correlates strongly with invasive growth of cells. An ectopic expression of the Golgi enzyme N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GlcNAc-TV), which forms beta1,6 linkages, promotes metastasis of a number of cell types. It is shown here that the 16-kDa transmembrane subunit (16K) of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase suppresses beta1,6 branching of beta(1) integrin and the epidermal growth factor receptor. Overexpression of 16K inhibits cell adhesion and invasion. 16K contains four hydrophobic membrane-spanning alpha-helices, and its ability to influence glycosylation is localized primarily within the second and fourth membrane-spanning alpha-helices. 16K also interacts directly with the transmembrane domain of beta(1) integrin, but its effects on glycosylation were independent of its binding to beta(1) integrin. These data link cell surface tumor-related glycosylation to a component of the enzyme responsible for acidification of the exocytic pathway.

Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase as an energy transducing ion pump has been studied extensively since its discovery in 1957. Although early findings suggested a role for Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase in regulation of cell growth and expression of various genes, only in recent years the mechanisms through which this plasma membrane enzyme communicates with the nucleus have been studied. This research, carried out mostly on cardiac myocytes, shows that in addition to pumping ions, Na(+)/K+-ATPase interacts with neighboring membrane proteins and organized cytosolic cascades of signaling proteins to send messages to the intracellular organelles. The signaling pathways that are rapidly elicited by the interaction of ouabain with Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, and are independent of changes in intracellular Na(+) and K(+) concentrations, include activation of Src kinase, transactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor by Src, activation of Ras and p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinases, and increased generation of reactive oxygen species by mitochondria. In cardiac myocytes, the resulting downstream events include the induction of some early response proto-oncogenes, activation of the transcription factors, activator protein-1 and nuclear factor kappa-B, regulation of a number of cardiac growth-related genes, and stimulation of protein synthesis and myocyte hypertrophy. For these downstream events, the induced reactive oxygen species and rise in intracellular Ca(2+) are essential second messengers. In cells other than cardiac myocytes, the proximal pathways linked to Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase through protein-protein interactions are similar to those reported in myocytes, but the downstream events and consequences may be significantly different. The likely extracellular physiological stimuli for the signal transducing function of Na+/K+-ATPase are the endogenous ouabain-like hormones, and changes in extracellular K+ concentration.

The stimulation of human tumor cells overexpressing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with EGF enhances tumor development and malignancy. Therefore, compounds that modulate the EGF-mediated signal inducing apoptosis in EGFR-overexpressing cells would represent a new class of antitumor drug and might be useful in the treatment of a subset of human tumors. In the course of screening for compounds that induce apoptosis in EGFR-overexpressing human epidermal carcinoma A431 cells from secondary metabolites of microorganisms, we found that vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) inhibitors, such as concanamycin B and destruxin E, induced apoptosis only when the cells were stimulated with EGF. The EGF-dependent apoptosis by V-ATPase inhibitors was not observed in other types of human tumor cells which do not overexpress EGFR. The apoptosis in A431 cells was inhibited by anti-FasL antibody which neutralized the cytotoxic effect of FasL, indicating that the Fas/FasL system was involved. The expression of cell surface FasL was upregulated by stimulation with EGF and increased further by V-ATPase inhibitors. Moreover, EGF inhibited cytotoxic Fas antibody-induced apoptosis, whereas V-ATPase inhibitors disrupted the protective effect of EGF on apoptosis in A431 cells. Taken together, these results suggested that V-ATPase inhibitors induced EGF-dependent apoptosis in A431 cells, possibly through both the enhancement of EGF-induced cell surface expression of FasL and the disruption of an EGF-induced survival signal.

SKD1 is a member of the family of ATPases associated with cellular activities whose yeast homologue Vps4p has been implicated in endosomal/vacuolar membrane transports. When a mutant of SKD1 that lacks ATPase activity [SKD1(E235Q)] was overexpressed in mammalian cells, it induced a dominant negative phenotype characterized by aberrant endosomal structures (denoted as E235Q compartments). Expression of SKD1(E235Q) caused an accumulation of basolateral recycling receptors, such as asialoglycoprotein receptor and low-density lipoprotein in polarized hepatocytes and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, respectively, in E235Q compartments. In addition, SKD1(E235Q) also abrogated, via endosomes, transport to the trans-Golgi network, as indicated by an accumulation of TGN38 in E235Q compartments. Three lines of evidence further demonstrated that SKD1 participates in the membrane transport from early endosomes to late endosomes/lysosomes: (1) a redistribution of a late endosomal and lysosomal membrane protein endolyn in E235Q compartments; (2) an inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor degradation, due to an accumulation of the receptors in E235Q compartments; and (3) a mis-sorting of and defect in the proteolytic processing of newly synthesized cathepsin D. An intriguing finding was that the expression of SKD1(E235Q) caused the number of lysosomes to decrease (to one-sixth of control numbers) but their size to increase (2.4-fold larger in diameter than control lysosomes). Indeed, an ultrastructural analysis revealed that the expression of SKD1(E235Q) causes an accumulation of hybrid organelles formed by direct fusion between late endosomes and lysosomes. We conclude that SKD1 regulates multiple steps of membrane transport out of early endosomes and the reformation of lysosomes from a hybrid organelle.
