Insulin caused a rapid, dose-dependent increase in the binding of 125I-insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) to the surface of cultured H-35 hepatoma cells. The [32P]phosphate content of the IGF-II receptors, immunoprecipitated from extracts of H-35 cell monolayers previously incubated with [32P]phosphate for 24 h, was decreased after brief exposure of the cells to insulin. Analysis of tryptic digests of labeled IGF-II receptors by bidimensional peptide mapping revealed that the decrease in the content of [32P]phosphate occurred to varying degrees on three tryptic phosphopeptides. Thin layer electrophoresis of an acid hydrolysate of isolated IGF-II receptors revealed the presence of [32P] phosphoserine and [32P]phosphothreonine. Insulin treatment of cells caused a decrease in the labeled phosphoserine and phosphothreonine content of IGF-II receptors. The ability of a number of highly purified protein kinases (cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, phosphorylase kinase, and casein kinase II) to catalyze the phosphorylation of purified IGF-II receptors was examined. Casein kinase II was the only kinase capable of catalyzing the phosphorylation of the IGF-II receptor on serine and threonine residues under the conditions of our assay. Bidimensional peptide mapping revealed that the kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of the IGF-II receptor on a tryptic phosphopeptide which comigrated with the main tryptic phosphopeptide found in receptors obtained from cells labeled in vivo with [32P]phosphate. IGF-II receptors isolated by immunoadsorption from insulin-treated H-35 cells were phosphorylated in vitro by casein kinase II to a greater extent than the receptors isolated from control cells. Similarly, IGF-II receptors from plasma membranes obtained from insulin-treated adipocytes were phosphorylated by casein kinase II to a greater extent than the receptors from control adipocyte plasma membranes. Thus, the insulin-regulated phosphorylation sites on the IGF-II receptor appear to serve as substrates in vivo for casein kinase II or an enzyme with similar substrate specificity.

Phosphorylation of the insulin receptor was studied in intact well differentiated hepatoma cells (Fao) and in a solubilized and partially purified receptor preparation obtained from these cells by affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin agarose. Tryptic peptides containing the phosphorylation sites of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor were analyzed by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Phosphoamino acid content of these peptides was determined by acid hydrolysis and high voltage electrophoresis. Separation of the phosphopeptides from unstimulated Fao cells revealed one major and two minor phosphoserine-containing peptides and a single minor phosphothreonine-containing peptide. Insulin (10(-7) M) increased the phosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor 3- to 4-fold in the intact Fao cell. After insulin stimulation, two phosphotyrosine-containing peptides were identified. Tyrosine phosphorylation reached a steady state within 20 s after the addition of insulin and remained nearly constant for 1 h. Under our experimental conditions, no significant change in the amount of [32P]phosphoserine or [32P]phosphothreonine associated with the beta-subunit was found during the initial response of cells to insulin. When the insulin receptor was extracted from the Fao cells and incubated in vitro with [gamma-32P]ATP and Mn2+, very little phosphorylation occurred in the absence of insulin. In this preparation, insulin rapidly stimulated autophosphorylation of the receptor on tyrosine residues only and high performance liquid chromatography analysis of the beta-subunit digested with trypsin revealed one minor and two major phosphopeptides. The elution position of the minor peptide corresponded to that of the major phosphotyrosine-containing peptide obtained from the beta-subunit of the insulin-stimulated receptor labeled in vivo. In contrast, the elution position of one of the major phosphopeptides that occurred during in vitro phosphorylation corresponded to the minor phosphotyrosine-containing peptide phosphorylated in vivo. The other major in vitro phosphotyrosine-containing peptide was not detected in vivo. Our results indicate that: tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor occurs rapidly following insulin binding to intact cells; the level of tyrosine phosphorylation remains constant for up to 1 h; the specificity of the receptor kinase or accessibility of the phosphorylation sites are different in vivo and in vitro.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The phosphorylation characteristics of insulin receptor from control and insulin-treated rat H-35 hepatoma cells 32P-labeled to equilibrium have been documented. The 32P-labeled insulin receptor is isolated by immunoprecipitation with patient-derived insulin receptor antibodies in the presence of phosphatase and protease inhibitors to preserve the native phosphorylation and structural characteristics of the receptor. The unstimulated insulin receptor contains predominantly [32P] phosphoserine and trace amounts of [32P]phosphothreonine in its beta subunit. In response to insulin, the insulin receptor beta subunit exhibits marked tyrosine phosphorylation and a 2-fold increase in total [32P]phosphoserine contents. High pressure liquid chromatography of the tryptic hydrolysates of the 32P-labeled receptor beta subunit from quiescent cells results in the resolution of up to 9 fractions containing [32P]phosphoserine. The insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation is concentrated in two of these receptor phosphopeptide fractions, whereas the increase in [32P]phosphoserine content is scattered in low abundance over all receptor tryptic fractions. Insulin receptors affinity-purified by lectin- and insulin-agarose chromatographies from insulin-treated, 32P-labeled cells exhibit a 22-fold increase in the Vmax of receptor tyrosine kinase activity toward histone when compared to controls. The elevated kinase activity of the insulin receptor derived from insulin-treated cells is not due to the presence of hormone bound to the receptor because the receptor kinase activity is assayed while immobilized on insulin-agarose. Furthermore, the insulin-activated receptor kinase activity is reversed following dephosphorylation of the receptor beta subunit with alkaline phosphatase in vitro. The correlation between the insulin-stimulated site specific tyrosine phosphorylation on receptor beta subunit and the elevation of receptor tyrosine kinase activity strongly suggests that the insulin receptor kinase is activated by hormone-stimulated autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues in intact cells, as previously demonstrated for the purified receptor.

Rat hepatoma cells were labeled with [32P]orthophosphate and the insulin receptor subunits were identified by immunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the basal state, only the Mr = 95,000 (beta) subunit of the insulin receptor was phosphorylated. The covalent labeling with 32P of this subunit was stimulated about 3-fold by insulin (10(-6) M). This stimulation was due to an increase in the content of phosphoserine, the appearance of phosphotyrosine, and a possible increase in phosphothreonine as well. These results suggest phosphorylation of the insulin receptor at multiple sites is an early event in insulin action.

The purified Novikoff hepatoma nuclear phosphoprotein with a molecular weight of 110 kdalton and pI 8.4, was found to be a type I topoisomerase. When isolated from 32P-labeled Novikoff ascites cells or incubated in vitro with protein kinase, phosphoserine was found to be its major phosphorylated amino acid. The enzymatic activity of topoisomerase I was altered by changes in phosphorylation. Its activity was increased by protein kinase and it was decreased by alkaline phosphatase.

Using lectin affinity-purified receptor preparations from human hepatoma cells, insulin (10(-7)M) specifically stimulated phosphorylation of the 95,000 dalton (beta) subunit of its own receptor. Phospho-amino acid analysis of the receptor subunit revealed that insulin increased at least 2.5-fold the content of phosphoserine and of phosphotyrosine. In intact cells, the major effect of insulin is to increase the phosphoserine content of its receptor. These findings are the first demonstration of an insulin-stimulated serine kinase in a cell-free system.

The addition of the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to serum-starved quiescent Reuber H35 hepatoma cells results in a rapid 5- to 11-fold increase in the incorporation of 32Pi into a Mr = 32,000 ribosomal protein. The Mr = 32,000 protein was the major phosphorylated protein extracted from isolated 80 S ribosomes and was identified as the 40 S ribosomal protein S6 based upon its migration in two-dimensional gels. Insulin, which has been demonstrated to increase the phosphorylation of S6 in a number of cell lines, caused a 10- to 20-fold increase in the incorporation of 32Pi into this Mr = 32,000 ribosomal protein. S6 phosphorylation was dose- and time-dependent being detected as early as 5 min following the addition of 1.6 microM TPA. Maximal phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 was achieved by 60 min and remained elevated for at least 90 min in the presence of TPA. The 50% effective dose for TPA was estimated to be 0.14 microM. Based upon the altered migration of S6 in pH 8.5 urea-polyacrylamide gels, it was demonstrated that the increased 32Pi labeling of S6 by TPA was due to a net increase in the incorporation of phosphates into the S6 molecule. Non-tumor-promoting phorbol esters were ineffective in increasing the phosphorylation of S6. In whole cells, exogenously added 1 mM 8-bromoadenosine 3':5'-monophosphate failed to substantially increase phosphorylation of S6 suggesting that the TPA-induced phosphorylation of S6 occurs via a cyclic AMP-independent mechanism. The S6 amino acid residue phosphorylated in response to TPA was phosphoserine. A possible role for protein kinase C in the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 is discussed.

The effect of the tumor-promoting agent phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on insulin receptors and insulin action was studied in rat hepatoma cells in culture. PMA (0.1-1.0 micrograms/ml) did not affect insulin binding either acutely or chronically but inhibited insulin stimulation of glycogen synthase and tyrosine aminotransferase. PMA (1 microgram/ml) stimulated the phosphorylation of the beta subunit of insulin receptor purified from [32P]phosphate-labeled Fao cells by 1.3-fold in the absence of insulin. In contrast, insulin-stimulated phosphorylation in the presence of PMA was reduced. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the beta subunit after PMA stimulation revealed an increase of both phosphoserine and phosphothreonine residues, whereas insulin stimulated primarily phosphorylation of tyrosine and serine residues. Insulin stimulation of cells after PMA treatment revealed a decrease in phosphotyrosine when compared to cells stimulated by insulin alone. Tryptic peptide mapping of the beta subunit by a two-dimensional chromatographic/electrophoretic separation revealed nine phosphopeptides from the cells treated with PMA. Insulin stimulated phosphorylation at six new sites in the receptor, three of which appeared to be similar to those in PMA-treated cells. This report shows that phorbol esters stimulate insulin receptor phosphorylation, inhibit insulin-induced receptor phosphorylation and insulin action, and suggest a physiologic relation between insulin action and the calcium-activated and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C.

The human asialoglycoprotein receptor was isolated via immune precipitation from hepatoma Hep G2 cells following incubation with [32P]Pi. Analysis on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis revealed incorporation of 32P into both the 46 000 Da mature form of the receptor as well as the 40 000 Da precursor. The incorporated 32P was associated with phosphoserine. The degree of 32P incorporation was not substantially altered in cells endocytosing asialoglycoprotein ligand at maximal rates nor in cells in which receptor recycling was abolished by incubation with primaquine. That endocytosis and phosphorylation can be dissociated is supported by the observation that 32P is incorporated from [gamma-32P]ATP into the asialoglycoprotein receptor in isolated plasma membranes of Hep G2 cells.

Protein C23 (Mr = 110,000; pI, 5.5) is the major phosphoprotein in the nucleolus of Novikoff hepatoma cells and comprises 9.5% of the total nucleolar protein. In addition to being highly phosphorylated (1.2 mol % of phosphoserine), it is also highly methylated. Protein C23 contains 1.3 mol % of NG,NG-dimethylarginine and a trace of NG-monomethylarginine.
