The Src family protein tyrosine kinases participate in signalling through cell surface receptors that lack intrinsic tyrosine kinase domains. All nine members of this family possess adjacent Src homology (SH2 and SH3) domains, both of which are essential for repression of the enzymatic activity. The repression is mediated by binding between the SH2 domain and a C-terminal phosphotyrosine, and the SH3 domain is required for this interaction. However, the biochemical basis of functional SH2-SH3 interaction is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that when the SH2 and SH3 domains of p59fyn (Fyn) were present as adjacent domains in a single protein, binding of phosphotyrosyl peptides and proteins to the SH2 domain was enhanced, whereas binding of a subset of cellular polypeptide ligands to the SH3 domain was decreased. An interdomain communication was further revealed by occupancy with domain-specific peptide ligands: occupancy of the SH3 domain with a proline-rich peptide enhanced phosphotyrosine binding to the linked SH2 domain, and occupancy of the SH2 domain with phosphotyrosyl peptides enhanced binding of certain SH3-specific cellular polypeptides. Second, we demonstrate a direct binding between purified SH2 and SH3 domains of Fyn and Lck Src family kinases. Heterologous binding between SH2 and SH3 domains of closely related members of the Src family, namely, Fyn, Lck, and Src, was also observed. In contrast, Grb2, Crk, Abl, p85 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and GTPase-activating protein SH2 domains showed lower or no binding to Fyn or Lck SH3 domains. SH2-SH3 binding did not require an intact phosphotyrosine binding pocket on the SH2 domain; however, perturbations of the SH2 domain induced by specific high-affinity phosphotyrosyl peptide binding abrogated binding of the SH3 domain. SH3-SH2 binding was observed in the presence of proline-rich peptides or when a point mutation (W119K) was introduced in the putative ligand-binding pouch of the Fyn SH3 domain, although these treatments completely abolished the binding to p85 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and other SH3-specific polypeptides. These biochemical SH2-SH3 interactions suggest novel mechanisms of regulating the enzymatic activity of Src kinases and their interactions with other proteins.

Activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and activation of the 70/85-kDa S6 protein kinases (alpha II and alpha I isoforms, referred to collectively as pp70S6k) have been independently linked to the regulation of cell proliferation. We demonstrate that these kinases lie on the same signalling pathway and that PI3K mediates the activation of pp70 by the cytokine interleukin-2 (IL-2). We also show that the activation of pp70S6k can be blocked at different points along the signalling pathway by using specific inhibitors of T-cell proliferation. Inhibition of PI3K activity with structurally unrelated but highly specific PI3K inhibitors (wortmannin or LY294002) results in inhibition of IL-2-dependent but not phorbol ester (conventional protein kinase C [cPKC])-dependent pp70S6k activation. The T-cell immunosuppressant rapamycin potently antagonizes IL-2-(PI3K)- and phorbol ester (cPKC)-mediated activation of pp70S6k. Thus, wortmannin and rapamycin antagonize IL-2-mediated activation of pp70S6k at distinct points along the PI3K-regulated signalling pathway, or rapamycin antagonizes another pathway required for pp70S6k activity. Agents that raise the concentration of intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) and activate cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) also inhibit IL-2-dependent activation of pp70S6k. In this case, inhibition appears to occur at least two points in this signalling path. Like rapamycin, PKA appears to act downstream of cPKC-mediated pp70S6k activation, and like wortmannin, PKA antagonizes IL-2-dependent activation of PI3K. The results with rapamycin and wortmannin are of added interest since the yeast and mammalian rapamycin targets resemble PI3K in the catalytic domain.

When expressed in PC12 cells, the platelet-derived growth factor beta receptor (beta PDGF-R) mediates cell differentiation. Mutational analysis of the beta PDGF-R indicated that persistent receptor stimulation of the Ras/Raf/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway alone was insufficient to sustain PC12 cell differentiation. PDGF receptor activation of signal pathways involving p60c-src or the persistent regulation of phospholipase C gamma was required for PC12 cell differentiation. beta PDGF-R regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, the GTPase-activating protein of Ras, and the tyrosine phosphatase, Syp, was not required for PC12 cell differentiation. In contrast to overexpression of oncoproteins involved in regulating the MAP kinase pathway, growth factor receptor-mediated differentiation of PC12 cells requires the integration of other signals with the Ras/Raf/MAP kinase pathway.

Previous studies have shown that the noncatalytic carboxy-terminal tail of the p70 S6 kinase (amino acids 422 to 525) contains an autoinhibitory pseudosubstrate domain that is phosphorylated in situ during activation and in vitro by mitogen-activated protein kinases. The present study shows that a recombinant p70 deleted of the carboxy-terminal tail (p70 delta CT104) nevertheless exhibits a basal and serum-stimulated 40S kinase activity and susceptibility to inhibition by wortmannin very similar to those of the parent, full-length p70 kinase. Carboxy-terminal deletion reduces the extent of maximal inhibition produced by rapamycin, from > 95% in the full-length p70 to 60 to 80% in p70 delta CT104, without altering the sensitivity to rapamycin inhibition (50% inhibitory concentration of 2 nM). Serum activation of p70 delta CT104, as with the parent, full-length p70, is accompanied by an increase in 32P content (about twofold) in situ and a slowing in electrophoretic mobility; both modifications are inhibited by pretreatment with wortmannin or rapamycin. 32P-peptide maps of p70 delta CT104 show multisite phosphorylation, and wortmannin and rapamycin appear to cause preferential dephosphorylation of the same subset of sites. Thus, it is likely that activation of the kinase requires phosphorylation of p70 at sites in addition to those previously identified in the carboxy-terminal tail. Evidence that the carboxy-terminal tail actually functions as a potent intramolecular inhibitor of kinase activity in situ is uncovered by deletion of a short acidic segment (amino acids 29 to 46) from the p70 amino-terminal noncatalytic region. Deletion of amino acids 29 to 46 causes a >95% inhibition of p70 activity despite continue phosphorylation of the carboxy-terminal tail in situ; additional deletion of the carboxy-terminal tail (yielding p70 delta 29-46/ delta CT104) increases activity 10-fold, to a level approaching that of p70 delta CT104. Deletion of residues 29 to 46 also abolishes completely the sensitivity of p70 to inhibition by rapamycin but does not alter the susceptibility to activation by serum of inhibition by wortmannin. Although the mechanisms underlying the effects of the delta 29-46 deletion are not known, they are not attributable to loss of the major in situ p70 phosphorylation site at Ser-40. Thus, activation of the p70 S6 kinase involves multiple, independent inputs directed at different domains of the p70 polypeptide. Disinhibition from the carboxy-terminal tail requires, in addition to its multisite phosphorylation, an activating input dependent on the presence of amino acids 29 to 46; this p70-activating input may be the same as that inhibited by rapamycin but is distinct from that arising from the wortmannin-inhibitable phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. In addition, as exemplified by the rapamycin-resistant but mitogen- and wortmannin-sensitive p70 delta 29-46/ delta CT104 mutant, a further activating input, which probably involves site-specific phosphorylation in the segment between amino acids 46 to 421, is necessary.

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1) stimulates the production of 3-phosphoinositides and increases the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity that is immunoprecipitated by antiphosphotyrosine antibodies, a small portion of which are also associated with the IGF-1 receptor. In vitro reconstitution experiments showed that p85 associates with high affinity to the IGF-1 receptor and this interaction is mediated through the p85 SH2 groups. Moreover, in vitro, p85 is a substrate for the IGF-1 receptor tyrosine kinase activity. In this study, we analyzed the in vivo association of p85 with tyrosyl- phosphorylated proteins and its tyrosyl phosphorylation state, in response to IGF-1. After stimulation with IGF-1, the major tyrosylphosphorylated protein that was associated with p85 was a 185-kilodalton protein, identified as IRS-1. Only a small fraction of p85 was associated with the IGF-1 receptor. In contrast, the PDGF receptor was the major protein associated with p85 upon stimulation. Neither ligand stimulated the tyrosyl phosphorylation of p85 in vivo. In order to determine whether the SH2 domains of p85 were involved in its association with p185 in vivo after IGF-1 stimulation, different SH2-constructs of p85 were expressed in COS-1 cells. After stimulation with IGF-1, the expressed SH2 proteins were immunoprecipitated with specific antibodies, and associated p185 was detected on Western blots. These results show that both the p85 N-SH2 and N+C-SH2 associate with IRS-1 after IGF-1 stimulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) mediates the activation of a variety of signaling pathways by the insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptors by serving as a docking protein for signaling molecules with SH2 domains. We and others have shown that in response to insulin stimulation IRS-1 binds GRB2/Sos and have proposed that this interaction is important in mediating Ras activation by the insulin receptor. Recently, it has been shown that the interleukin (IL)-4 receptor also phosphorylates IRS-1 and an IRS-1-related molecule, 4PS. Unlike insulin, however, IL-4 fails to activate Ras, extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), or mitogen-activated protein kinases. We have reconstituted the IL-4 receptor into an insulin-responsive L6 myoblast cell line and have shown that IRS-1 is tyrosine phosphorylated to similar degrees in response to insulin and IL-4 stimulation in this cell line. In agreement with previous findings, IL-4 failed to activate the ERKs in this cell line or to stimulate DNA synthesis, whereas the same responses were activated by insulin. Surprisingly, IL-4's failure to activate ERKs was not due to a failure to stimulate the association of tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS-1 with GRB2/Sos; the amounts of GRB2/Sos associated with IRS-1 were similar in insulin- and IL-4-stimulated cells. Moreover, the amounts of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity associated with IRS-1 were similar in insulin- and IL-4-stimulated cells. In contrast to insulin, however, IL-4 failed to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc or association of Shc with GRB2. Thus, ERK activation correlates with Shc tyrosine phosphorylation and formation of an Shc/GRB2 complex. Thus, ERK activation correlates with Shc tyrosine phosphorylation and formation of an Shc/GRB2 complex. Previous studies have indicated that activation of ERks in this cell line is dependent upon Ras since a dominant-negative Ras (Asn-17) blocks ERK activation by insulin. Our findings, taken in the context of previous work, suggest that binding of GRB2/Sos to Shc may be the predominant mechanism whereby insulin as well as cytokine receptors activate Ras.

We have investigated the functional role of the SH2 domain of the 85-kDa subunit (p85) of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in the insulin signal transduction pathway. Microinjection of a bacterial fusion protein containing the N-terminal SH2 domain of p85 inhibited insulin- and other growth factor-induced DNA synthesis by 90% and c-fos protein expression by 80% in insulin-responsive rat fibroblasts. The specificity of the fusion protein was examined by in vitro precipitation experiments, which showed that the SH2 domain of p85 can independently associate with both insulin receptor substrate 1 and the insulin receptor itself in the absence of detectable binding to other phosphoproteins. The microinjection results were confirmed through the use of an affinity-purified antibody directed against p85, which gave the same phenotype. Additional studies were carried out in another cell line expressing mutant insulin receptors which lack the cytoplasmic tyrosine residues with which p85 interacts. Microinjection of the SH2 domain fusion protein also inhibited insulin signaling in these cells, suggesting that association of p85 with insulin receptor substrate 1 is a key element in insulin-mediated cell cycle progression. In addition, coinjection of purified p21ras protein with the p85 fusion protein or the antibody restored DNA synthesis, suggesting that ras function is either downstream or independent of p85 SH2 domain interaction.

c-fps/fes encodes a 92-kDa protein-tyrosine kinase (NCP92) that is expressed at the highest levels in macrophages. To determine if c-fps/fes can mediate the action of the colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) receptor (CSF-1R) and to identify potential targets of c-fps/fes in macrophages, we have overexpressed c-fps/fes in a CSF-1-dependent macrophage cell line. A 30- to 50-fold overexpression of c-fps/fes partially released these cells from their factor dependence by a nonautocrine mechanism, and this correlated with the tyrosine phosphorylation of two proteins of 130 and 75 kDa (P130 and P75). c-fps/fes did not cause tyrosine phosphorylation or activation of CSF-1 dependent targets, including CSF-1R, Shc, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and conversely, CSF-1 did not induce tyrosine phosphorylation of P130 and P75. P75 appears to be a novel phosphotyrosyl protein, whereas P130 cross-reacts with a known substrate of v-src. P130 and P75 may be direct substrates of c-fps/fes: P130 was tightly associated with NCP92, and the src homology 2 domain of NCP92 specifically bound phosphorylated P130 and P75 but not the CSF-1-induced phosphotyrosyl proteins, consistent with the possibility that P130 and P75 are physiological targets of c-fps/fes. We conclude that although c-fps/fes can functionally substitute for CSF-1R to a certain extent, these tyrosine kinases act largely independently of each other and that P130 and P75 are novel targets whose mechanisms of action may be unrelated to the signalling pathways utilized by receptor tyrosine kinases.

The role of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity in stimulation of intracellular enzymes linked to insulin action [phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase), microtubule-associated protein (MAP) kinase, and S6 kinases] was studied in Chinese hamster ovary cells which overexpress wild type human insulin receptors, receptors with reduced kinase activity due to substitution of Phe for Tyr1146 (single-Phe), Tyr1150,1151 (double-Phe), and Tyr1146,1150,1151 (triple-Phe), or kinase-inactive receptors with a substitution of Ala for Lys1018 in the ATP binding site (A1018). We have previously shown that receptor autophosphorylation and kinase activity of these mutants were reduced by approximately 50, 65, 85, and 100%, respectively. Glycogen and DNA synthesis parallel the level of receptor autophosphorylation and kinase activity; however, receptor serine and threonine phosphorylation was independent of receptor tyrosine kinase activity and receptor internalization was completely dependent on maximal receptor kinase activity. Overexpression of the wild type insulin receptor increased both maximal insulin receptor substrate-1-associated and total insulin-stimulated PtdIns 3-kinase activity, as well as S6 and MAP kinase activities 2.0- to 3.6-fold. In addition there was a leftward shift of the dose-response curves for PtdIns 3-kinase and S6 kinases by approximately 10-fold. Expression of the single- and double-Phe mutant receptors also enhanced maximal PtdIns 3-kinase activity, but had no effect on insulin sensitivity, whereas expression of either the triple-Phe or kinase-inactive receptors did not enhance insulin stimulation or increase insulin sensitivity as compared to the control cells. When comparing the mutant and wild type receptors, differences in insulin sensitivity were least for insulin-stimulated MAP kinase and greatest for S6 kinase; with the latter there was greater than a 1000-fold difference in insulin sensitivity when cells that overexpress wild type vs. kinase-inactive insulin receptors were compared. Thus, the level of insulin receptor tyrosine autophosphorylation and kinase activity regulate both maximal activation and insulin sensitivity of these intracellular kinases in the insulin action pathway which may lead to glycogen and/or DNA synthesis. The differential sensitivity of these enzymes to changes in receptor activation suggests that they may be differently coupled to the receptor kinase.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is an important element in both normal and oncogenic signal transduction. Polyomavirus middle T antigen transforms cells in a manner depending on association of its tyrosine 315 phosphorylation site with Src homology 2 (SH2) domains on the p85 subunit of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Both nonselective and site-directed mutagenesis have been used to probe the interaction of middle T with the N-terminal SH2 domain of p85. Most of the 24 mutants obtained showed reduced middle T binding. However, mutations that showed increased binding were also found. Comparison of middle T binding to that of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor showed that some mutations altered the specificity of recognition by the SH2 domain. Mutations altering S-393, D-394, and P-395 were shown to affect the ability of the SH2 domain to select peptides from a degenerate phosphopeptide library. These results focus attention on the role of the EF loop in the SH2 domain in determining binding selectivity at the third position after the phosphotyrosine.
