Activation of protein tyrosine kinases is one of the initial events following aggregation of the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (Fc epsilon RI) on RBL-2H3 cells, a model mast cell line. The protein tyrosine kinase p72syk (Syk), which contains two Src homology 2 (SH2) domains, is activated and associates with phosphorylated Fc epsilon RI subunits after receptor aggregation. In this report, we used Syk SH2 domains, expressed in tandem or individually, as fusion proteins to identify Syk-binding proteins in RBL-2H3 lysates. We show that the tandem Syk SH2 domains selectively associate with tyrosine-phosphorylated forms of the gamma and beta subunits of Fc epsilon RI. The isolated carboxy-proximal SH2 domain exhibited a significantly higher affinity for the Fc epsilon RI subunits than did the amino-proximal domain. When in tandem, the Syk SH2 domains showed enhanced binding to phosphorylated gamma and beta subunits. The conserved tyrosine-based activation motifs contained in the cytoplasmic domains of the gamma and beta subunits, characterized by two YXXL/I sequences in tandem, represent potential high-affinity binding sites for the dual SH2 domains of Syk. Peptide competition studies indicated that Syk exhibits a higher affinity for the phosphorylated tyrosine activation motif of the gamma subunit than for that of the beta subunit. In addition, we show that Syk is the major protein in RBL-2H3 cells that is affinity isolated with phosphorylated peptides corresponding to the phosphorylated gamma subunit motif. These data suggest that Syk associates with the gamma subunit of the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E through an interaction between the tandem SH2 domains of SH2 domains of Syk and the phosphorylated tyrosine activation motif of the gamma subunit and that Syk may be the major signaling protein that binds to Fc epsilon RI tyrosine activation motif of the gamma subunit and that Syk may be the major signaling protein that binds to Dc epsilon tyrosine activation motifs in RBL-2H3 cells.  相似文献

Syk and ZAP-70 form a subfamily of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that contain tandem SH2 domains at their N termini. Engagement of these SH2 domains by tyrosine-phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs leads to kinase activation and downstream signaling. These kinases are also regulated by beta3 integrin-dependent cell adhesion via a phosphorylation-independent interaction with the beta3 integrin cytoplasmic domain. Here, we report that the interaction of integrins with Syk and ZAP-70 depends on the N-terminal SH2 domain and the interdomain A region of the kinase. The N-terminal SH2 domain alone is sufficient for weak binding, and this interaction is independent of tyrosine phosphorylation of the integrin tail. Indeed, phosphorylation of tyrosines within the two conserved NXXY motifs in the integrin beta3 cytoplasmic domain blocks Syk binding. The tandem SH2 domains of these kinases bind to multiple integrin beta cytoplasmic domains with varying affinities (beta3 (Kd = 24 nm) > beta2 (Kd = 38 nm) > beta1 (Kd = 71 nm)) as judged by both affinity chromatography and surface plasmon resonance. Thus, the binding of Syk and ZAP-70 to integrin beta cytoplasmic domains represents a novel phosphotyrosine-independent interaction mediated by their N-terminal SH2 domains.  相似文献

Syk protein tyrosine kinase is essential for immune system development and function [1]and for the maintenance of vascular integrity [2,3]. In leukocytes, Syk is activated by binding to diphosphorylated immune receptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (pITAMs)[1]. Syk can also be activated by integrin adhesion receptors [4,5], but the mechanism of its activation is unknown. Here we report a novel mechanism for Syk's recruitment and activation, which requires that Syk bind to the integrin beta3 cytoplasmic tail. We found that both Syk and the related kinase ZAP-70 bound the beta3 cytoplasmic tail through their tandem SH2 domains. However, unlike Syk binding to pITAMs, this interaction was independent of tyrosine phosphorylation and of the phosphotyrosine binding function of Syk's tandem SH2 domains. Deletion of the four C-terminal residues of the beta3 cytoplasmic tail [beta3(759X)] decreased Syk binding and disrupted its physical association with integrin alphaIIbbeta3. Furthermore, cells expressing alphaIIbbeta3(759X) failed to exhibit Syk activation or lamellipodia formation upon cell adhesion to the alphaIIbbeta3 ligand, fibrinogen. In contrast, FAK phosphorylation and focal adhesion formation were unimpaired by this mutation. Thus, the direct binding of Syk kinase to the integrin beta3 cytoplasmic tail is a novel and functionally significant mechanism for the regulation of this important non-receptor tyrosine kinase.  相似文献

Syk plays a crucial role in the transduction of oxidative stress signaling. In this paper, we investigated the roles of Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of Syk in oxidative stress signaling, using Syk-negative DT40 cells expressing the N- or C-terminal SH2 domain mutant [mSH2(N) or mSH2(C)] of Syk. Tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk in cells expressing mSH2(N) Syk after H(2)O(2) treatment was higher than that in cells expressing wild-type Syk or mSH2(C) Syk. The tyrosine phosphorylation of wild-type Syk and mSH2(C) Syk, but not that of mSH2(N), was sensitive to PP2, a specific inhibitor of Src-family protein-tyrosine kinase. In oxidative stress, the C-terminal SH2 domain of Syk was demonstrated to be required for induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins, phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma2 phosphorylation, inositol 1,4, 5-triphosphate (IP(3)) generation, Ca(2)(+) release from intracellular stores, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation. In contrast, in mSH2(N) Syk-expressing cells, tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins including PLC-gamma2 was markedly induced in oxidative stress. The enhanced phosphorylation of mSH2(N) Syk and PLC-gamma2, however, did not link to Ca(2)(+) mobilization from intracellular pools and IP(3) generation. Thus, the N- and C-terminal SH2 domains of Syk possess distinctive functions in oxidative stress signaling.  相似文献

pp72syk is essential for development and function of several hematopoietic cells, and it becomes activated through tandem SH2 interaction with ITAM motifs in immune response receptors. Since Syk is also activated through integrins, which do not contain ITAMs, a CHO cell model system was used to study Syk activation by the platelet integrin, alpha IIb beta 3. As in platelets, Syk underwent tyrosine phosphorylation and activation during CHO cell adhesion to alpha IIb beta 3 ligands, including fibrinogen. This involved Syk autophosphorylation and the tyrosine kinase activity of Src, and it exhibited two novel features. Firstly, unlike alpha IIb beta 3-mediated activation of pp125FAK, Syk activation could be triggered by the binding of soluble fibrinogen and abolished by truncation of the alpha IIb or beta 3 cytoplasmic tail, and it was resistant to inhibition by cytochalasin D. Secondly, it did not require phosphorylated ITAMs since it was unaffected by disruption of an ITAM-interaction motif in the SH2(C) domain of Syk or by simultaneous overexpression of the tandem SH2 domains. These studies demonstrate that Syk is a proximal component in alpha IIb beta 3 signaling and is regulated as a consequence of intimate functional relationships with the alpha IIb beta 3 cytoplasmic tails and with Src or a closely related kinase. Furthermore, there are fundamental differences in the activation of Syk by alpha IIb beta 3 and immune response receptors, suggesting a unique role for integrins in Syk function.  相似文献

Antigen-mediated aggregation of the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E, Fc epsilon RI, results in the activation of multiple signaling pathways, leading to the release of mediators of the allergic response. One of the earliest responses to receptor stimulation is the tyrosine phosphorylation of the beta and gamma subunits of Fc epsilon RI and the association of the tyrosine kinase Syk with the phosphorylated receptor. This association is mediated by the SH2 domains of Syk and is believed to be critical for activating signaling pathways resulting in mediator release. To examine the importance of the interaction of Syk with Fc epsilon RI in signaling events following receptor activation, we introduced a protein containing the SH2 domains of Syk into streptolysin O-permeabilized RBL-2H3 cells. The Syk SH2 domains completely inhibited degranulation and leukotriene production following receptor aggregation, and they blocked the increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation observed after receptor activation. Inhibition was specific for Fc epsilon RI-mediated signaling, since degranulation of cells activated by alternative stimuli was not blocked by the Syk SH2 domains. A protein containing a point mutation in the carboxy-terminal SH2 domain which abolishes phosphotyrosine binding was not inhibitory. In addition, inhibition of degranulation was reversed by pretreatment of the SH2 domains with a tyrosine phosphorylated peptide corresponding to the tyrosine-based activation motif found in the gamma subunit of Fc epsilon RI, the nonphosphorylated peptide had no effect. The association of Syk with the tyrosine-phosphorylated gamma subunit of the activated receptor was blocked by the Syk SH2 domains, and deregulation in cells activated by clustering of Syk directly without Fc epsilon RI aggregation was not affected by the Syk SH2 domains. These results demonstrate that the association of Syk with the activated Fc epsilon RI is critical for both early and late events following receptor activation and confirm the key role Syk plays in signaling through the high-affinity IgE receptor.  相似文献

Human rhinovirus (HRV), cause of the common cold, is a leading cause of exacerbations of asthma and chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD). Binding of HRV to ICAM (intercellular adhesion molecule)-1, its major receptor, induces a profound inflammatory response from airway epithelial cells. My laboratory has identified Syk tyrosine kinase to be an early regulator of HRV-ICAM-1 signalling: Syk mediates replication-independent p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and phosphatidyl-inositol 3 (PI3)-kinase activation, interleukin (IL)-8 expression, as well as HRV internalization via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Syk activation is accompanied by formation of a protein complex consisting of ICAM-1, ezrin and Syk at the plasma membrane. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate this process are not understood. In this report, we investigated the role of the Syk-SH2 domains and the ezrin ITAM (immuno-tyrosine activation motif)-like motif in HRV-induced cell activation using the human BEAS-2B airway epithelial cells. Our observations suggest that the ezrin-ITAM plays a role in Syk recruitment and activation by binding to the Syk tandem SH2 domains, as originally described in the canonical ITAM-mediating signal transduction pathway in hematopoietic cells. This report is the first to demonstrate ITAM-mediated signaling in non-hematopoietic cells, suggesting that this signaling paradigm may be more ubiquitous than previously recognized.  相似文献

Several receptor-mediated signal transduction pathways, including EGF and IgE receptor pathways, have been proposed to be spatially restricted to plasma membrane microdomains. However, the experimental evidence for signaling events in these microdomains is largely based on biochemical fractionation and immunocytochemical studies and only little is known about their spatial dynamics in living cells. Here we constructed green fluorescent protein–tagged SH2 domains to investigate where and when IgE receptor (FcεRI)–mediated tyrosine phosphorylation occurs in living tumor mast cells. Strikingly, within minutes after antigen addition, tandem SH2 domains from Syk or PLC-γ1 translocated from a uniform cytosolic distribution to punctuate plasma membrane microdomains. Colocalization experiments showed that the microdomains where tyrosine phosphorylation occurred were indistinguishable from those stained by cholera toxin B, a marker for glycosphingolipids. Competitive binding studies with coelectroporated unlabeled Syk, PLC-γ1, and other SH2 domains selectively suppressed the induction of IgE receptor–mediated calcium signals as well as the binding of the fluorescent SH2 domains. This supports the hypothesis that PLC-γ1 and Syk SH2 domains selectively bind to Syk and IgE receptors, respectively. Unlike the predicted prelocalization of EGF receptors to caveolae microdomains, fluorescently labeled IgE receptors were found to be uniformly distributed in the plasma membrane of unstimulated cells and only transiently translocated to glycosphingolipid rich microdomains after antigen addition. Thus, these in vivo studies support a plasma membrane signaling mechanism by which IgE receptors transiently associate with microdomains and induce the spatially restricted activation of Syk and PLC-γ1.  相似文献

Syk is a 72-kDa protein-tyrosine kinase that regulates signaling through multiple cell surface receptors including those for antigens, immunoglobulins and proteins of the extracellular matrix. As part of its function, Syk binds a variety of downstream effectors through interactions that are often mediated by motifs that recognize phosphotyrosines. In a search for novel Syk-interacting proteins by yeast two-hybrid analysis, we identified tensin2 as a Syk-binding protein. Syk interacts with a fragment of tensin2 located near the C-terminus that contains SH2 and PTB domains. In epithelial cells, tensin2 localizes both to focal adhesions and to large cytoplasmic puncta. It is within these punctuate structures that Syk and tensin2 are co-localized. The clustering of Syk within these structures leads to its phosphorylation on tyrosine.  相似文献
