The SHC proteins have been implicated in insulin receptor (IR) signaling. In this study, we used the sensitive two-hybrid assay of protein-protein interaction to demonstrate that SHC interacts directly with the IR. The interaction is mediated by SHC amino acids 1 to 238 and is therefore independent of the Src homology 2 domain. The interaction is dependent upon IR autophosphorylation, since the interaction is eliminated by mutation of the IR ATP-binding site. In addition, mutational analysis of the Asn-Pro-Glu-Tyr (NPEY) motif within the juxtamembrane domain of the IR showed the importance of the Asn, Pro, and Tyr residues to both SHC and IR substrate 1 (IRS-1) binding. We conclude that SHC interacts directly with the IR and that phosphorylation of Tyr-960 within the IR juxtamembrane domain is necessary for efficient interaction. This interaction is highly reminiscent of that of IRS-1 with the IR, and we show that the SHC IR-binding domain can substitute for that of IRS-1 in yeast and COS cells. We identify a homologous region within the IR-binding domains of SHC and IRS-1, which we term the SAIN (SHC and IRS-1 NPXY-binding) domain, which may explain the basis of these interactions. The SAIN domain appears to represent a novel motif which is able to interact with autophosphorylated receptors such as the IR.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3 kinase) is implicated in the regulation of diverse cellular processes, including insulin-stimulated glucose transport. PI-3 kinase is composed of a 110-kDa catalytic subunit and an 85-kDa regulatory subunit. Here, we describe p55PIK, a new regulatory subunit that was isolated by screening expression libraries with tyrosine-phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1). p55PIK is composed of a unique 30-residue NH2 terminus followed by a proline-rich motif and two Src homology 2 (SH2) domains with significant sequence identify to those in p85. p55PIK mRNA is expressed early during development, remains abundant in adult mouse brain and testis tissue, and is detectable in adult adipocytes and heart and kidney tissues. p55PIK forms a stable complex with p110, and it associates with IRS-1 during insulin stimulation. Moreover, the activated insulin receptor phosphorylates p55PIK in Sf9 cells, and insulin stimulates p55PIK phosphorylation in CHOIR/p55PIK cells. The unique features of p55PIK suggest that it is important in receptor signaling.

Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and src homology and collagen protein (SHC) are signaling proteins which are rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosines after insulin receptor (IR) activation. We have recently shown that both SHC and IRS-1 interact with the tyrosine-phosphorylated NPEY motif of the IR and insulin-like growth factor I receptor via non-SH2 domains (Gustafson, T. A., He, W., Craparo, A., Schaub, C. D., and O'Neill, T. J. (1995) Mol. Cell. Biol. 15, 2500-2508; O'Neill, T. J., Craparo, A., and Gustafson, T. A. (1994) Mol. Cell. Biol. 14, 6433-6442; Craparo, A., O'Neill, T. J., and Gustafson, T. A. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 15639-15643). In this study we characterize these interactions by examining the effects of 18 amino acid substitutions within and around the IR NPEY motif upon interaction with SHC and IRS-1. We confirm that Tyr-960 within the NPEY motif of the IR is essential for both IRS-1 and SHC interaction and that Asn-957 and Pro-958 are essential for IRS-1 interaction and important but not critical for SHC interaction. Additional mutations surrounding the NPEY motif revealed completely distinct patterns of interaction for SHC and IRS-1. Specifically, mutation of Leu-952 or Tyr-953 (at positions -7 and -8 from Tyr-960) markedly reduced IRS-1 interaction but had no effect upon SHC interaction. Likewise, mutation of Ala-963 (+3) reduced IRS-1 but not SHC interaction. Conversely, substitution of Leu-961 (+1) with either Ala or Arg reduced SHC interaction by 70 and 90%, respectively, yet had no effect upon interaction with IRS-1. Our data show that the sequences within and surrounding the NPEY contribute differentially to either SHC or IRS-1 recognition. Our findings suggest mechanisms by which the differential interaction of known receptors with IRS-1 and SHC may be mediated.

Insulin stimulates glucose transport in insulin target tissues by recruiting glucose transporters (primarily GLUT4) from an intracellular compartment to the cell surface. Previous studies have demonstrated that insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity and subsequent phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) contribute to mediating the effect of insulin on glucose transport. We have now investigated the roles of 1-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) and ras, two signaling proteins located downstream from tyrosine phosphorylation. Rat adipose cells were cotransfected with expression vectors that allowed transient expression of epitope-tagged GLUT4 and the other genes of interest. Overexpression of a mutant p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase lacking the ability to bind and activate the p110 catalytic subunit exerted a dominant negative effect to inhibit insulin-stimulated translocation of epitope-tagged GLUT4 to the cell surface. In addition, treatment of control cells with wortmannin (an inhibitor of PI 3-kinase) abolished the ability of insulin to recruit epitope-tagged GLUT4 to the cell surface. Thus, our data suggest that PI 3-kinase plays an essential role in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 recruitment in insulin target tissues. In contrast, over-expression of a constitutively active mutant of ras (L61-ras) resulted in high levels of cell surface GLUT4 in the absence of insulin that were comparable to levels seen in control cells treated with a maximally stimulating dose of insulin. However, wortmannin treatment of cells overexpressing L61-ras resulted in only a small decrease in the amount of cell surface GLUT4 compared with that of the same cells in the absence of wortmannin. Therefore, while activated ras is sufficient to recruit GLUT4 to the cell surface, it does so by a different mechanism that is probably not involved in the mechanism by which insulin stimulates GLUT4 translocation in physiological target tissues.

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II are two single-chain polypeptide hormones that are structurally related to each other and to proinsulin. Among the large number of growth factors involved in ovarian physiology, IGF-I and IGF-II are considered to be important progression factors for ovarian follicular development. To explore the ovarian expression of IGF-I, IGF-II and their receptor genes, a solution hybridization/RNase protection assay, was used. IGF-I mRNA was seen in the granulosa cells, and IGF-II mRNA in the theca-interstitial compartment. To study the hormonal regulation of the IGF-I and IGF-II gene, immature (21-day-old) hypohysectomized rats were treated with FSH (10 micrograms/day), GH (150 micrograms/day) and diethylstilbestrol (DES subcutaneous implant/5 days). Estrogen differentially regulated ovarian IGF-I and IGF-II gene expression. In concert with GH, estrogen up-regulated ovarian IGF-I mRNA, but significantly decreased hepatic IGF-I gene expression. Both IGF receptors (type I and type II) as well as the insulin receptor gene, were expressed in both ovarian cells. The expression of the type I IGF receptor gene (but not the type II IGF gene) was up-regulated by FSH and estrogen in vivo. In conclusion, these studies may serve to better understand the auto paracrine role of IGF, and their receptors in the pathophysiology of follicle recruitment, oocyte maturation and potentially embryo development.

Insulin signals are mediated through tyrosine phosphorylation of specific proteins such as insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and Shc by the activated insulin receptor (IR). Phosphorylation of both proteins is nearly abolished by an alanine substitution at Tyr-960 (A960) in the beta-subunit of the receptor. However, overexpression of IRS-1 in CHO cells expressing the mutant receptor (A960 cells) restored sufficient tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 to rescue IRS-1/Grb-2 binding and phosphatidylinositol 3' kinase activation during insulin stimulation. Shc tyrosine phosphorylation and its binding to Grb-2 were impaired in the A960 cells and were unaffected by overexpression of IRS-1. Although overexpression of IRS-1 increased IRS-1 binding to Grb-2, ERK-1/ERK-2 activation was not rescued. These data suggest that signaling molecules other than IRS-1, perhaps including Shc, are critical for insulin stimulation of p21ras. Interestingly, overexpression of IRS-1 in the A960 cells restored insulin-stimulated mitogenesis and partially restored insulin stimulation of glycogen synthesis. Thus, IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation is sufficient to increase the mitogenic response to insulin, whereas insulin stimulation of glycogen synthesis appears to involve other factors. Moreover, IRS-1 phosphorylation is either not sufficient or not involved in insulin stimulation of ERK.

After insulin stimulation of cells, signaling complexes are formed, containing the insulin receptor (IR), insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase. To study the nature of these complexes, we employed purified IR, recombinant IRS-1, antibodies to IR and IRS-1, and fusion proteins containing the two SH2 domains of p85. In intact cells, insulin increased tyrosine phosphorylation of both the IR and IRS-1. Both of these proteins were immunoprecipitated with antibodies to p85. Also, fusion proteins containing the two SH2 domains of p85 directly precipitated both the IR and IRS-1. Next, these signaling complexes were reconstituted in vitro with purified IR, recombinant IRS-1, and the two SH2 domains of p85. In the presence of both SH2 domains of p85, the IR associated with IRS-1. Other data, both in intact cells and in vitro, demonstrated that N- and C-terminal SH2 domains of p85 had preferential binding affinities for the IR and IRS-1, respectively. Studies with an IR mutant truncated in the C terminus indicated that the C-terminal phosphotyrosines of the IR play a major role in interacting with the SH2 domains of p85. In conclusion, both in vivo and in vitro data support a role for p85 in directly linking the IR to IRS-1 via its SH2 domains. The formation of these complexes, therefore, may provide a mechanism for the translocation to the plasma membrane of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and other molecules that are involved in IR signaling.

The insulin receptor (IR) tyrosine kinase can apparently directly phosphorylate and activate one or more serine kinases. The identities of such serine kinases and their modes of activation are still unclear. We have described a serine kinase (here designated insulin receptor serine (IRS) kinase) from rat liver membranes that co-purifies with IR on wheat germ agglutinin-agarose. The kinase was activated after phosphorylation of the membrane glycoproteins by casein kinase-1, casein kinase-2, or casein kinase-3 (Biochem Biophys Res Commun 171: 75-83,1990). In this study, IRS kinase was further characterized. The presence of vanadate or phosphotyrosine in reaction mixtures was required for activation to be observed. Phosphoserine and phosphothreonine are only about 25% as effective as phosphotyrosine, whereas sodium fluoride and molybdate were ineffective in supporting activation. Vanadate and phosphotyrosine support IRS kinase activation by apparently inhibiting phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases present among the membrane glycoproteins. IR beta-subunit, myelin basic protein, and microtubule-associated protein-2 are good substrates for IRS kinase. The kinase prefers Mn2+ (Ka = 1.3 mM) as a metal cofactor. Mg2+ (Ka = 3.3 mM) is only 30% as effective as Mn2+. The kinase activity is stimulated by basic polypeptides, with greater than 30-fold activation achieved with polylysine and protamine. Our results suggest that both serine/threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation are required for activation of IRS kinase. Serine phosphorylation is catalyzed by one of the casein kinases, whereas tyrosine phosphorylation is catalyzed by a membrane tyrosine kinase, possibly IR tyrosine kinase.

Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF I) is an important mitogen for vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). The IGF I receptor (IGF IR) is a heterotetramer composed of two cross-linked extracellular alpha-chains and two membrane-spanning beta-chains that contain a tyrosine-kinase domain. It has a high degree of sequence similarity to the insulin receptor (IR), and the putative ligand-specific binding site has been localized to a cysteine-rich region (CRR) of the alpha-chain. To obtain insights into antigenic determinants of the IGF IR, we raised a panel of site-specific polyclonal antibodies against short peptide sequences N-terminal to and within the CRR. Several antibodies raised against linear epitopes within the CRR bound to solubilized and native rat and human IGF IR by ELISA, did not cross-react with IR, but unexpectedly failed to inhibit 125I-IGF I binding. A polyclonal antibody directed against a 48-amino acid synthetic peptide, corresponding to a region of the CRR postulated to be essential for ligand binding, failed to react with either solubilized, reduced or intact IGF IR. Three antibodies specific for the N-terminus of the alpha-chain reacted with solubilized and native IGF IR. One of these, RAB 6, directed against amino acids 38-44 of the IGF IR, inhibited 125I-IGF I binding to rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASM) and to IGF IR/3T3 cells (overexpressing human IGF IR) by up to 45%. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed strong IGF IR staining in the medial smooth muscle cell layer of rat aorta. These findings are consistent with a model wherein conformational epitopes within the CRR and linear epitopes within the N-terminus of the alpha-chain contribute to the IGF I binding pocket. These antibodies should provide a valuable tool to study structure-function relationships and in vivo regulation of the IGF IR.

Insulin stimulation of differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes or Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing high levels of the insulin receptor resulted in a time-dependent decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of SOS on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. The reduction in SOS mobility was completely reversed by alkaline phosphatase treatment, and the in vitro phosphorylation of SOS by mitogen-activated protein kinase resulted in a decrease of electrophoretic mobility identical to that following in vivo insulin stimulation. Immunoprecipitation of Grb2 followed by SOS immunoblotting demonstrated a disassociation of the SOS-Grb2 complex that paralleled the decrease in SOS electrophoretic mobility. Similarly, SOS immunoprecipitation followed by Grb2 immunoblotting also indicated an uncoupling of the SOS-Grb2 complex. Further, incubation of whole-cell extracts with glutathione-S-transferase-Grb2 fusion proteins demonstrated that insulin stimulation resulted in a decreased affinity of SOS for Grb2. In contrast, the dissociation of SOS from Grb2 did not affect the interactions between Grb2 and tyrosine-phosphorylated Shc. In addition to insulin, several other agents which activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (platelet-derived growth factor, serum, and phorbol ester) also resulted in the uncoupling of the SOS-Grb2 complex. Consistent with these results, expression of v-ras and v-raf resulted in a constitutive decrease in the association between SOS and Grb2. Together, these data suggest a molecular mechanism accounting for the transient activation of ras due to the uncoupling of the SOS-Grb2 complex following SOS phosphorylation.
