The insulin receptor appears as a tetrameric glycoprotein consisting of two Mr 130,000 subunits (alpha), and two Mr 95,000 subunits (beta) in a disulfide-linked complex. Insulin bound to its specific cell surface receptors in its target cells leads to a complex array of molecular events resulting in insulin effects. It is now generally believed that protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation reactions represent an important mechanism by which a variety of extracellular stimuli regulate cellular functions. Insulin mediates such reactions, but it is not known whether these are the biochemical link between the binding of insulin to its receptor and its final cellular effects. In search of initial post-binding events which might play a role in insulin action, we looked for phosphorylation of insulin receptors. We show that the insulin receptor displays two functional domains, an insulin binding alpha-subunit, and an insulin responsive protein kinase contained in the beta-subunit. We envisage the insulin receptor as an integrated system for transmembrane signal transmission in which hormone binding to the alpha-subunit leads to activation of the beta-subunit via conformational changes. 相似文献

The insulin receptor is an integral membrane glycoprotein (Mr approximately 300,000) composed of two alpha-subunits (Mr approximately 130,000) and two beta-subunits (Mr approximately 95,000) linked by disulphide bonds. This oligomeric structure divides the receptor into two functional domains such that alpha-subunits bind insulin and beta-subunits possess tyrosine kinase activity. The amino acid sequence deduced from cDNA of the single polypeptide chain precursor of human placental insulin receptor revealed that alpha- and beta-subunits consist of 735 and 620 residues, respectively. The alpha-subunit is hydrophilic, disulphide-bonded, glycosylated and probably extracellular. The beta-subunit consists of a short extracellular region which links the alpha-subunit through disulphide bridges, a hydrophobic transmembrane region and a longer cytoplasmic region which is structurally homologous with other tyrosine kinases like the src oncogene product and EGF receptor kinases. The cellular function of insulin receptors is dual: transmembrane signalling and endocytosis of hormone. The binding of insulin to its receptor on the cell membrane induces transfer of signal from extracellular to cytoplasmic receptor domains leading to activation of cell metabolism and growth. In addition, hormone-receptor complexes are internalized leading to intracellular proteolysis of insulin, whereas receptors are recycled to the membrane. These phenomena are kinetically well-characterized, but their molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Insulin receptor in different tissues and animal species are homologous in their structure and function, but show also significant differences regarding size of alpha-subunits, binding kinetics, insulin specificity and receptor-mediated degradation. We suggest that this heterogeneity of receptors may be linked to the diversity in insulin effects on metabolism and growth in various cell types. The purified insulin receptor phosphorylates its own beta-subunit and exogenous protein and peptide substrates on tyrosine residues, a reaction which is insulin-sensitive, Mn2+-dependent and specific for ATP. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the beta-subunit activates receptor kinase activity, and dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase deactivates the kinase. In intact cells or impure receptor preparations, a serine kinase is also activated by insulin. The cellular role of two kinase activities associated with the insulin receptor is not known, but we propose that the tyrosine- and serine-specific kinases mediate insulin actions on metabolism and growth either through dual-signalling or sequential pathways.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Tryptic activation of the insulin receptor. Proteolytic truncation of the alpha-subunit releases the beta-subunit from inhibitory control 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Trypsin exerts insulin-like effects in intact cells and on partially purified preparations of insulin receptors. To elucidate the mechanism of these insulinomimetic effects, we compared the structures of insulin- and trypsin-activated receptor species with their functions, including insulin binding, autophosphorylation, and tyrosine kinase activity. In vitro treatment of wheat germ agglutinin-purified receptor preparations with trypsin resulted in proteolysis of both alpha- and beta-subunits. The activated form of the receptor had an apparent molecular mass of 110 kDa under nonreducing conditions, compared to the 400-kDa intact receptor, and was separated following reduction into an 85-kDa beta-subunit related fragment and a 25-kDa alpha-subunit related fragment. Treatment of whole cells with trypsin prior to isolation of the insulin receptor resulted in proteolytic modification of the alpha-subunit only. In this case, the total molecular mass of the activated species was 116 kDa, comprised of an intact 92-kDa beta-subunit and again a 25-kDa alpha-subunit related fragment. Values of Km for peptide substrate phosphorylation and Ki for inhibition of receptor autophosphorylation, and sites of autophosphorylation within the beta-subunits were similar for receptors activated either by insulin or trypsin. Insulin had no additional effect on the rate of autophosphorylation of the truncated receptor, and no binding of insulin by the truncated receptor was detected either by direct assay or cross-linking with bifunctional reagents. Based on the deduced amino acid sequence of the insulin receptor and the structural studies presented here we concluded that this activated form of the receptor resulted from tryptic cleavage at the dibasic site Arg576-Arg577. This was accompanied by loss of the insulin binding site and separation of alpha-beta heterodimers. As truncation of the alpha-subunit results in beta-subunit activation, it appears that the beta-subunit is a constitutively activated kinase and that the function of the alpha-subunit in the intact receptor is to inhibit the beta-subunit. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies previously shown to react with five distinct epitopes on the human insulin receptor were tested for their metabolic effects on isolated human adipocytes. Two antibodies which reacted with receptor alpha-subunit and completely inhibited 125I-insulin binding mimicked the actions of insulin to stimulate lipogenesis from [14C]glucose and to inhibit catecholamine-induced lipolysis. On a molar basis, these antibodies were comparable in potency with insulin itself. Two other antibodies which decreased insulin binding only slightly or not at all also mimicked these metabolic effects of insulin. One of these antibodies reacted with receptor beta-subunit. In contrast, a further antibody which reacted with alpha-subunit and inhibited insulin binding did not affect basal lipogenesis or catecholamine-induced lipolysis, but was able to antagonize the effects of insulin on these processes. The same antibody antagonized the insulin-like effect of another antibody with which it competed in binding to insulin receptor, but not the effect of an antibody which bound independently to the receptor. It is concluded that binding of ligand at or close to the insulin-binding site is neither necessary nor sufficient to trigger insulin-like metabolic effects, which may rather depend on some general property of antibodies, such as their ability to cross-link and aggregate receptor molecules. 相似文献

The molecular process by which insulin binding to the receptor alpha-subunit induces activation of the receptor beta-subunit with ensuing substrate phosphorylation remains unclear. In this study, we aimed at approaching this molecular mechanism of signal transduction and at delineating the cytoplasmic domains implied in this process. To do this, we used antipeptide antibodies to the following sequences of the receptor beta-subunit: (i) positions 962-972 in the juxtamembrane domain, (ii) positions 1247-1261 at the end of the kinase domain, and (iii) positions 1294-1317 and (iv) positions 1309-1326, both in the receptor C terminus. We have previously shown that insulin binding to its receptor induces a conformational change in the beta-subunit C terminus. Here, we demonstrate that receptor autophosphorylation induces an additional conformational change. This process appears to be distinct from the one produced by ligand binding and can be detected in at least three different beta-subunit regions: the juxtamembrane domain, the kinase domain, and the C terminus. Hence, the cytoplasmic part of the receptor beta-subunit appears to undergo an extended conformational change upon autophosphorylation. By contrast, the insulin-induced change does not affect the juxtamembrane domain 962-972 nor the kinase domain 1247-1261 and may be limited to the receptor C terminus. Further, we show that the hormone-dependent conformational change is maintained in a kinase-deficient receptor due to a mutation at lysine 1018. Therefore, during receptor activation, the ligand-induced change could precede ATP binding and receptor autophosphorylation. We propose that insulin binding leads to a transient receptor form that may allow ATP binding and, subsequently, autophosphorylation. The second conformational change could unmask substrate-binding sites and stabilize the receptor in an active conformation. 相似文献

Insulin has a major anabolic function leading to storage of lipidic and glucidic substrates. All its effects result from insulin binding to a specific membrane receptor which is expressed at a high level on the 3 insulin target tissues: liver, adipose tissue and muscles. The insulin receptor exhibits a tyrosine-kinase activity which leads, first, to receptor autophosphorylation and then to tyrosine phosphorylation of substrates proteins, IRS proteins in priority. This leads to the formation of macromolecular complexes close to the receptor. The two main transduction pathways are the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase pathway activating protein kinase B which is involved in priority in metabolic effects, and the MAP kinase pathway involved in nuclear effects, proliferation and differentiation. However, in most cases, a specific effect of insulin requires the participation of the two pathways in a complex interplay which could explain the pleiotropy and the specificity of the insulin signal. The negative control of the insulin signal can result from hormone degradation or receptor dephosphorylation. However, the major negative control results from phosphorylation of serine/threonine residues on the receptor and/or IRS proteins. This phosphorylation is activated in response to different signals involved in insulin resistance, hyperinsulinism, TNFalpha or increased free fatty acids from adipose tissue, which are transformed inside the cell in acyl-CoA. A deleterious role for molecules issued from the adipose tissue is postulated in the resistance to insulin of the liver and muscles present in type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of MA-5, a human-specific monoclonal antibody to the insulin receptor alpha-subunit, on transmembrane signaling in cell lines transfected with and expressing both normal human insulin receptors and receptors mutated in their beta-subunit tyrosine kinase domains. In cell lines expressing normal human insulin receptors, MA-5 stimulated three biological functions: aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) uptake, thymidine incorporation, and S6 kinase activation. Under conditions where these biological functions were stimulated, there was no detectable stimulation of receptor tyrosine kinase. We then combined the use of this monoclonal antibody with cells expressing insulin receptors with mutations in the beta-subunit tyrosine kinase domain; two of ATP binding site mutants V1008 (Gly----Val) and M1030 (Lys----Met) and one triple-tyrosine autophosphorylation site mutant F3 (Tyr----Phe at 1158, 1162, and 1163). In cells expressing V1008 receptors, none of the three biological functions of insulin was stimulated. In cells expressing M1030 receptors, AIB uptake was stimulated to a small, but significant, extent whereas the other two functions were not. In cells expressing F3 receptors, AIB uptake and S6 kinase activation, but not thymidine incorporation, were fully stimulated. The data suggest, therefore, that (1) activation of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase may not be a prerequisite for signaling of all the actions of insulin and (2) there may be multiple signal transduction pathways to account for the biological actions of insulin. 相似文献

The insulin receptor is a complex membrane-spanning glycoprotein composed of two alpha-subunits and two beta-subunits connected to form an alpha 2 beta 2 holoreceptor. Insulin binding to the extracellular alpha-subunits activates intracellular beta-subunit autophosphorylation and substrate kinase activity. The current study was designed to differentiate mechanisms of transmembrane signaling by the insulin receptor, specifically whether individual beta-subunits undergo cis- or trans-phosphorylation. We compared relative kinase activities of trypsin-truncated receptors, alpha beta-half receptors, and alpha 2 beta 2 holoreceptors under conditions that allowed us to differentiate intermolecular and intramolecular events. Compared to the insulin-stimulated holoreceptors, the trypsin-truncated receptor undergoes autophosphorylation at similar tyrosine residues and catalyzes substrate phosphorylation in the absence of insulin at a comparable rate. The truncated receptor sediments on a sucrose gradient at a position consistent with a structure comprising a single beta-subunit attached to a fragment of the alpha-subunit and undergoes autophosphorylation in this form in the absence of insulin. Autophosphorylation of the truncated insulin receptor is independent of receptor concentration, and immobilization of the truncated receptor on a matrix composed of an anti-receptor antibody bound to protein A-Sepharose diminishes neither autophosphorylation nor receptor-catalyzed substrate phosphorylation. Therefore, true intramolecular (cis) phosphorylations, which occur within individual beta-subunits derived from trypsin-truncated receptors, lead to kinase activation. However, insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of insulin receptor alpha beta heterodimers is concentration-dependent, and both autophosphorylation and kinase activity are markedly reduced following immobilization.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Effect of monoclonal antibodies on human insulin receptor autophosphorylation, negative cooperativity, and down-regulation 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Three major functional characteristics of the insulin receptor are negative cooperativity, down-regulation, and beta-subunit tyrosine kinase activity. To investigate the inter-relationships among these functions we studied four antibodies to the insulin receptor alpha-subunit. These monoclonal antibodies competitively inhibited 125I-insulin binding to the insulin receptor of human IM-9 and HEP-G2 cells. When the antibodies were radiolabeled, insulin competed strongly with two antibodies (MA-10 and MA-51) for binding to the insulin receptor, but competed weakly with the two others (MA-5 and MA-20). Antibodies MA-10 and MA-51, like insulin, accelerated the dissociation of bound 125I-insulin from receptors; in contrast, MA-5 and MA-20 strongly inhibited 125I-insulin dissociation. Antibodies MA-10 and MA-51 induced down-regulation of insulin receptors with a potency similar to that of insulin. In contrast, MA-5 and MA-20 were more potent than insulin. None of the antibodies either alone or in combination influenced autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor beta-subunit. These data indicate, therefore, that two major epitopes can be identified on the alpha-subunit of the insulin receptor by the use of monoclonal antibodies. One epitope, recognized by antibodies MA-10 and MA-51, is close to or near the insulin-binding site and mimics insulin-induced negative cooperatively and down-regulation. The other epitope, recognized by antibodies MA-5 and MA-20, is at some distance from the insulin-binding site, and only mimics down-regulation. These data suggest, therefore, that: negative cooperativity and down-regulation may not be inter-related and both processes are independent of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding proteins inhibit the biological activities of IGF-1 and IGF-2 but not des-(1-3)-IGF-1. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Late gestation is associated with insulin resistance in rats and humans. It has been reported that rats at term gestation show active hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, and diminished lipogenesis, despite normal or mildly elevated plasma insulin concentrations, indicating a state of resistance to the hormone action. Since autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor has been reported to play a key role in the hormone signal transduction, we have partially purified plasma-membrane liver insulin receptors from virgin and 22-day-pregnant rats and studied their binding and kinase activities. (1) Insulin binding to partially purified receptors does not appear to be influenced by gestation, as indicated by the observed KD and Bmax. values. (2) The rate of autophosphorylation and the maximal 32P incorporation into the receptor beta-subunit from pregnant rats at saturating concentrations of insulin are markedly decreased with respect to the corresponding values for virgin rats. (3) The diminished autophosphorylation rate was due to a decreased responsiveness of the kinase activity to the action of insulin. (4) Phosphorylation of the exogenous substrates casein and poly(Glu80Tyr20) by insulin-receptor kinase was also less when receptors from pregnant rats were used. These results show the existence of an impairment at the receptor kinase level of the insulin signalling mechanism that might be related to the insulin-resistant state characteristic of term gestation in rats. 相似文献

Distinct alpha-subunit structures of human insulin receptor A and B variants determine differences in tyrosine kinase activities. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Human insulin receptor isoforms (HIR-A and -B) differ in their alpha-subunit structures which result from alternatively spliced precursor mRNAs. This structural difference causes distinct binding affinities for insulin. To determine the impact of the structural difference on receptor signaling, we characterized the tyrosine kinase activity of HIR-A and HIR-B in vitro and determined the insulin stimulated beta-subunit phosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activation in the intact cell. When 32P incorporation in beta-subunits of equal amounts of isolated HIR-A and HIR-B was measured, an increased 32P incorporation in tyrosine residues of the beta-subunit of HIR-B (2.5-fold) compared to that of HIR-A was found after in vitro insulin stimulation. This was paralleled by an increased rate of phosphorylation (2.0-fold) or poly(GluNa,Tyr 4:1). In vitro analysis of Km values for ATP were similar for HIR-A (Km = 14.3 microM +/- 3.8) and HIR-B (Km = 20.2 microM +/- 8.6), whereas the Vmax of HIR-B was significantly increased (HIR-A Vmax = 5.5 mumol/60 min micrograms-1 +/- 1.4, HIR-B Vmax = 42.5 mumol/60 min micrograms-1 +/- 19.2). HPLC analysis of tryptic beta-subunit phosphopeptides revealed identical patterns, suggesting that the difference in kinase activities is not due to an alteration of the phosphorylation-activation cascade within the beta-subunit. However, when cleavage of the alpha-subunit by short-time trypsinization was used to activate the tyrosine kinase, the differences in 32P incorporation between HIR-A and HIR-B were abolished.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

On the basis of the observation that in the hormonotoxin oLH-gelonin conjugation of the toxin occurs via the alpha-subunit of lutropin, an attempt was made to develop a general method for generation of similar hybrid proteins involving other glycoprotein hormones. In this approach sites suitable for conjugation would be first introduced into the alpha-subunit, hybridized with any native hormone specific beta-subunit of choice (LH-beta, FSH-beta, TSH-beta) following which the toxic component gelonin would be added on in the form of gelonin-S-S-alpha---beta complex. Thus, thiolated lutropin alpha-subunit recombined well with free lutropin beta-subunit, yielding a hybrid which was active in terms of receptor binding, immunoreactivity, and steroidogenic properties. However, subsequent conjugation with thiolated gelonin, a ribosome inactivating protein, resulted in dissociation of beta-subunit from its non-covalent union with the thiolated alpha-subunit. It is concluded that the addition of positively charged gelonin at particular sites on the alpha-subunit led to the destabilization of the lutropin quaternary structure. 相似文献

Insulin receptors in the mammalian central nervous system: binding characteristics and subunit structure 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Insulin receptors in rat and human central nervous system have been identified by binding of 125I-insulin on purified synaptic plasma membranes; affinity labelling of receptors by chemical cross-linking 125I-insulin; or phosphorylation of receptors with [gamma-32P]ATP. Brain insulin receptors showed significant differences in their binding characteristics and subunit structure when compared with receptors in other tissues like adipose and liver cells: absence of negatively cooperative interactions; a distinct binding specificity i.e. porcine proinsulin, coypu insulin and insulin-like growth factor I and II showed 2-5 times higher binding affinity in brain than in other cell types; a smaller molecular size of the brain receptor alpha-subunit than in other tissues (Mr approximately 115,000 instead of 130,000). In contrast, the size (Mr approximately 94,000) and function of the insulin receptor beta-subunit kinase was identical with that described in other cells. We conclude, that insulin receptors in mammalian brain represent a receptor subtype which may mediate growth rather than metabolic activity of insulin. 相似文献

Insulin-mimetic effect of trypsin on the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in intact adipocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
It has previously been demonstrated that the insulin-mimetic agent trypsin stimulates autophosphorylation of purified insulin receptors and activates the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in vitro. We now report the effects of trypsin on whole cell tyrosine kinase activation and insulin receptor autophosphorylation. Trypsin treatment of intact adipocytes produces a time-dependent stimulation of tyrosine kinase activity as measured in lectin extracts containing the insulin receptor, or specifically immunoprecipitated insulin receptor samples. Trypsin treatment of adipocytes also results in a loss of insulin binding capacity, and a linear correlation exists between loss of binding and stimulation of tyrosine kinase activity. Exposure of adipocytes to trypsin is known to result in a time- and dose-dependent activation of intracellular glycogen synthase. Examination of the time courses of stimulation of tyrosine kinase and glycogen synthase activation in our system indicates that the stimulation of tyrosine kinase activity by trypsin occurs with sufficient rapidity and magnitude to be consistent with a role of phosphorylation in the activation of glycogen synthase. Trypsin has further been demonstrated to stimulate autophosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor in intact adipocytes. Cells prelabeled with [32P]PO4 for 2 h were exposed to trypsin, and receptors were partially purified over wheat germ agglutinin-agarose columns. Receptors were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the beta-subunit was identified by autoradiography. The protein was extracted and hydrolyzed, and the phosphoamino acids were separated by electrophoresis and quantitated. Two- and five-fold increases in phosphotyrosine were observed with 3 and 10 min of trypsin treatment, respectively. We conclude that trypsin-induced cleavage of the insulin receptor alpha-subunit is relevant to the ability of trypsin to activate the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in intact adipocytes. We further conclude that autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor and activation of its tyrosine kinase by trypsin may be important to the insulin-mimetic anabolic effects of trypsin. 相似文献

In this study, we used maleimidobutyrylbiocytin to examine possible alteration that may occur in the redox state of the insulin receptor (IR) sulfhydryl groups in response to reduced glutathione (GSH) or N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). Short-term treatment of intact cells expressing large numbers of IR with GSH or NAC led to a rapid and reversible reduction of IR alpha-subunit disulfides, without affecting the receptor beta-subunit thiol reactivity. The overall integrity of the oligomeric structure of IR was maintained, indicating that neither class I nor class II disulfides were targeted by these agents. Similar findings were obtained in cells transfected with IR mutants lacking cysteine524, one of the class I disulfides that link the two IR alpha-subunits. Membrane-associated thiols did not participate in GSH- or NAC-mediated reduction of IR alpha-subunit disulfides. No difference in insulin binding was observed in GSH-treated cells; however, ligand-mediated increases in IR autophosphorylation, tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular substrates, and dual phosphorylation of the downstream target mitogen-activated protein kinase were inhibited at concentrations of GSH (10 mM or greater) that yielded a significant increase in IR alpha-subunit thiol reactivity. GSH did not affect IR signaling in the absence of insulin. Our results provide the first evidence that the IR alpha-subunit contains a select group of disulfides whose redox status can be rapidly altered by the reducing agents GSH and NAC. 相似文献

Simple methods for the generation, purification, and assay of antibodies to the alpha-subunit of insulin receptor from eggs of immunized hens have been described. Chicken antibodies against the alpha-subunit inhibit insulin binding to the receptor and stimulate glucose oxidation as well as autophosphorylation of the beta-subunit. Thus the properties of chicken antibodies are very similar to those of antibodies found in human autoimmune diseases and different from rabbit antibodies obtained against the same antigen. 相似文献

A model of insulin-receptor down-regulation and desensitization has been developed and described. In this model, both insulin-receptor down-regulation and functional desensitization are induced in the human HepG2 cell line by a 16 h exposure of the cells to 0.1 microM-insulin. Insulin-receptor affinity is unchanged, but receptor number is decreased by 50%, as determined both by 125I-insulin binding and by protein immunoblotting with an antibody to the beta-subunit of the receptor. This down-regulation is accompanied by a disproportionate loss of insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis, yielding a population of cell-surface insulin receptors which bind insulin normally but which are unable to mediate insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis within the cell. Upon binding of insulin, the desensitized receptors are internalized rapidly, with characteristics indistinguishable from those of control cells. In contrast, this desensitization is accompanied by a loss of the insulin-sensitive tyrosine kinase activity of insulin receptors isolated from these cells. Receptors isolated from control cells show a 5-25-fold enhancement of autophosphorylation of the beta-subunit by insulin; this insulin-responsive autophosphorylation is severely attenuated after desensitization to a maximum of 0-2-fold stimulation by insulin. Likewise, the receptor-mediated phosphorylation of exogenous angiotensin II, which is stimulated 2-10-fold by insulin in receptors from control cells, is completely unresponsive to insulin in desensitized cells. These data provide evidence that the insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase activity correlates with insulin stimulation of an intracellular metabolic event. The data suggest that receptor endocytosis is not sufficient to mediate insulin's effects, and thereby argue for a role of the receptor tyrosine kinase activity in the mediation of insulin action. 相似文献

Control of insulin receptor autophosphorylation by polypeptide substrates: inhibition and stimulation by interaction with the catalytic subunit. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Autophosphorylation of purified insulin receptor, in the absence of insulin, was stimulated by selected polypeptide substrates. In the presence of 1 microM insulin these peptides inhibited autophosphorylation. Stimulation was observed with reduced [S-(carboxamidomethyl)cysteinyl]lysozyme (RCAM-lysozyme) and three peptides generated by CNBr cleavage, V8 proteinase digestion and/or chemical modification. We also generated two peptide substrates from RCAM-lysozyme which did not stimulate receptor autophosphorylation and were very weak inhibitors. As a control peptide, the simple substrate angiotensin inhibited receptor autophosphorylation in the absence or presence of insulin. However, stimulatory peptide, but not insulin, significantly shifted the concentration dependence for inhibition by angiotensin. The stimulatory peptides also increased autophosphorylation of the cloned cytoplasmic domain of the kinase [R-BIRK; Villalba, M., Wente, S. R., Russell, D. S., Ahn, J., Reichelderfer, C. F., & Rosen, O. M. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 7848]. Therefore, stimulation occurs by interaction with the cytoplasmic process of the beta-subunit and not through interaction with the insulin binding alpha-subunit of the native receptor. Autophosphorylation was analyzed by mapping 32P-labeled tryptic phosphopeptides from the beta-subunit and from R-BIRK. Nearly identical phosphopeptide maps were found, comparing first, basal R-BIRK and basal native receptor, second, peptide- and insulin-stimulated native receptor, and third, peptide-stimulated R-BIRK and insulin-stimulated native receptor. Therefore, R-BIRK functions as a basal-state enzyme and can be stimulated in an insulin-like manner. On the basis of these observations, stimulation by insulin and by peptides yields similar functional results, but by apparently different mechanisms. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor I rapidly stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of a Mr 185,000 protein in intact cells 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

The type I insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor, like the insulin receptor, contains a ligand-stimulated protein-tyrosine kinase activity in its beta-subunit. However, in vivo, no substrates have been identified. We used anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies to identify phosphotyrosine-containing proteins which occur during IGF-I stimulation of normal rat kidney and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells labeled with ortho[32P]phosphate. Both cells provide a good system to study the function of the type I IGF receptors because they contain high concentrations of these receptors but no insulin receptors. In addition, physiological levels of IGF-I, but not insulin, stimulated DNA synthesis in growth-arrested cells. IGF-I stimulated within 1 min of tyrosine phosphorylation of two proteins. One of them, with a molecular mass between 97 and 102 kDa, was supposed to be the beta-subunit of the type I IGF receptor previously identified. The other protein had an approximate molecular mass of 185 kDa, which resembled, by several criteria, pp 185, originally identified during the initial response of Fao cells to insulin binding (White, M. F., Maron, R., and Kahn, C. R. (1985) Nature 318, 183-186). These data suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation of pp 185 may occur during activation of both the type I IGF receptor and the insulin receptor, and it could be a common substrate that transmits important metabolic signals during ligand binding. 相似文献

In both NIH3T3 cells and HepG2 cells, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) receptors possess two beta-subunits that display different electrophoretic mobilities. Increasing concentrations of IGF-I stimulated the phosphorylation of both beta-subunits to a similar extent, whereas insulin stimulated the phosphorylation of both subunits only at elevated concentrations. Both beta-subunits were immunoprecipitated with p5, an insulin receptor-specific anti-peptide antibody, or with A410, a polyclonal anti-insulin receptor antisera. However, if the tetrameric IGF-I receptor was first dissociated into alpha-beta heterodimers with 1 mM dithiothreitol, only the lower molecular weight beta-subunit was immunoprecipitated. These results suggested that p5 and A410 specifically recognized the lower molecular weight beta-subunit but immunoprecipitated the higher molecular weight beta-subunit because it was present in the same disulfide linked tetramer. Similarly, alpha-IR-3, an antibody specific for the alpha-subunit of the IGF-I receptor, immunoprecipitated both types of beta-subunit from the intact tetramer but only the higher molecular weight beta-subunit from the dissociated heterodimers, suggesting that there are two types of alpha-subunits in the same tetramer and that the alpha-subunit recognized by alpha-IR-3 is only associated with the higher molecular weight beta-subunit. Tryptic phosphopeptide maps of the lower molecular weight beta-subunit of IGF-I receptor were different from the higher molecular weight beta-subunit, but were similar to those of the insulin receptor beta-subunit. Thus, by immunochemical cross-reactivity and structural criteria, the lower molecular weight beta-subunit of the IGF-I receptor was similar to the beta-subunit of insulin receptor. These data suggest that there exists a species of IGF-I receptor that is a hybrid composed of an insulin receptor alpha-beta heterodimer and an IGF-I receptor alpha-beta heterodimer. The existence of such a hybrid receptor could have important functional consequences. 相似文献
