Sphingosine inhibits autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in vitro and in situ. This lysosphingolipid has been shown previously to inhibit the Ca2+/lipid-dependent protein kinase C. Here we show that insulin-dependent autophosphorylation of partially purified insulin receptor is half-maximally inhibited by 145 microM sphingosine (9 mol %) in Triton X-100 micelles. Half-maximal inhibition of protein kinase C autophosphorylation occurs with 60 microM sphingosine (3.4 mol %) in Triton X-100 mixed micelles containing phosphatidylserine and diacylglycerol. Sphingomyelin does not inhibit significantly the insulin receptor, suggesting that, as with protein kinase C, the free amino group may be essential for inhibition. Similar to the effects observed for protein kinase C, inhibition of the insulin receptor kinase by sphingosine is reduced in the presence of other lipids. However, the reduction displays a marked dependence on the lipid species: phosphatidylserine, but not a mixture of lipids compositionally similar to the cell membrane, markedly reduces the potency of sphingosine inhibition. The inhibition occurs at the level of the protein/membrane interaction: a soluble form of the insulin receptor comprising the cytoplasmic kinase domain is resistant to sphingosine inhibition. Lastly, sphingosine inhibits the insulin-stimulated rate of tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor in NIH 3T3 cells expressing the human insulin receptor. These results suggest that sphingosine alters membrane function independently of protein kinase C. 相似文献

Turkey erythrocytes possess insulin receptors with binding properties very similar to those of mammalian insulin receptors. In the present study, the insulin receptor of the avian erythrocyte has been solubilized in Triton X-100, extensively characterized and partially purified, and its properties compared to those of the membrane-bound receptor.The solubilized insulin receptor has a Stokes radius of 70 Å and an apparent molecular weight of 300 000 in 0.05% Triton. The binding of insulin to the soluble receptor was very similar to the binding observed with the membrane-bound receptor. Thus, binding was markedly temperature dependent for both the soluble and membrane-bound forms, although the kinetics of binding were slower with the soluble receptor. Both forms of the receptor also showed a sharp pH optimum; however, solubilization produced a shift from maximal binding at pH 7.8 to pH 7.3. The soluble receptor also retained insulin analog specificity, ion sensitivity and negative cooperativity. The soluble receptor did not appear to degrade either bound or free insulin.On DEAE-cellulose chromatography the receptor eluted as a single peak. The specific activity of this partially purified preparation was 25–30 pmol/mg protein (about 500-fold enrichment over crude extract and 5-fold over highly purified membranes). Extensive attempts to purify further the receptor by gel filtration, carboxymethyl-cellulose chromatography and affinity chromatography resulted in either a very low yield or only modest enrichment. Purification was also complicated because the receptor was easily denatured; about 40% of the activity was lost after a 90-min exposure to 3 M urea or pH 4.5. 相似文献

A serine protein kinase that phosphorylates the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor has been partially purified 5,000-fold from HeLa cell membranes. The enzyme has been purified by ion-exchange and hydroxylapatite chromatography and sucrose gradient centrifugation; it has an apparent molecular weight of 36,000-43,000 daltons. It exhibits the following properties: (a) it catalyzes the phosphorylation of the autophosphorylated insulin receptor more efficiently than the nonautophosphorylated insulin receptor, (b) it decreases insulin receptor phosphorylation of tubulin but has no effect on insulin receptor phosphorylation of microtubule-associated proteins or reduced and carboxyamidomethylated lysozyme. The enzyme also phosphorylates casein and ribosomal protein S6 and shares many properties with casein kinase I: (a) similar molecular weight, (b) utilization of ATP but not GTP as phosphoryl donor, and (c) sensitivity to inhibition by heparin. Based on several criteria the receptor serine kinase is neither protein kinase C nor the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. 相似文献

In intact rat hepatocytes insulin stimulates the phosphorylation of the beta-subunit of its receptor exclusively on serine residues, which are also phosphorylated in the absence of insulin. In contrast, in partially purified insulin receptors derived from these same cells and in highly purified insulin receptors obtained by immunoprecipitation with anti-receptor antibodies, the receptor beta-subunit is phosphorylated solely on tyrosine residues. For both cell-free systems, insulin's stimulatory action on receptor phosphorylation leads to an increase in phosphotyrosine. When partially purified receptors were used to phosphorylate two exogenous substrates, casein and histone, insulin was found to stimulate the phosphorylation of both tyrosine and serine. However, the basal and insulin-stimulated kinase activity of immunoprecipitated receptors was only tyrosine-specific. From these observations we propose that the insulin-receptor complex consists of two different insulin-stimulatable kinase activities: (1) a tyrosine-specific kinase, which is a constituent of the insulin-receptor structure and whose activation is likely to be the first post-binding event in insulin action; and (2) a serine-specific kinase, which is closely associated with the receptor in the cell membrane. 相似文献

Previous studies of the substrate specificity of the purified insulin receptor tyrosine kinase using synthetic random polymers have demonstrated that the receptor kinase phosphorylates poly (Glu, Tyr) 4:1 but not poly (Glu, Tyr) 1:1. In the present study, insulin treatment of Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing the human insulin receptor was found to stimulate the ability of their membrane extracts to phosphorylate poly (Glu, Tyr) 1:1. It was concluded that this activity was due to the receptor itself because: 1) it was precipitated with a monoclonal antibody to the receptor; 2) the addition of various membrane extracts to purified insulin receptor preparations stimulated the ability of these preparations to phosphorylate poly (Glu, Tyr) 1:1; and 3) certain purified proteins, including bovine serum albumin and casein, were also capable of stimulating the purified receptor to phosphorylate poly (Glu, Tyr) 1:1. The effect of albumin was dose-dependent; 0.5 and 10 mg/ml bovine serum albumin stimulated the phosphorylation of poly (Glu, Tyr) 1:1 by 2- and 230-fold, respectively. In contrast, albumin had no effect on the phosphorylation of poly (Glu, Tyr) 4:1. These results indicate that the activity of the insulin receptor kinase on certain substrates can be modulated by the presence of other proteins. 相似文献

NSILA-s (nonsuppressible insulin-like activity, soluble in acid ethanol) is a serum peptide that has insulin-like and growth-promoting activities. We have demonstrated previously that liver plasma membranes possess separate receptors for NSILA-s and insulin and have characterized the insulin receptor in detail. In the present study we have characterized the properties and specificity of the NSILA-s receptor and compared them to those of the insulin receptor in the same tissue. Both 125I-NSILA-s and 125I-insulin bind rapidly and reversibly to their receptors in liver membranes; maximal NSILA-s binding occurs at 20 degrees while maximal insulin binding is seen at 1-4 degrees. The pH optimum for NSILA-s binding is broad (6.0 to 8.0), in contrast to the very sharp pH optimum (7.5 to 8.0) for insulin binding. Both receptors exhibit a high degree of specificity. With the insulin receptor, NSILA-s and insulin analogues compete for binding in proportion to their insulin-like potency: insulin greater than proinsulin greater than NSILA-s. With the NSILA-s receptor, NSILA-s is most potent and the order is reversed: NSILA-s greater than proinsulin greater than insulin. Furthermore, six preparations of NSILA-s which varied 70-fold in biological activity competed for 125I-NSILA-s binding in order of their potencies. NSILA-s which had been inactivated biologically by reduction and aminoethylation and growth hormone were less than 1/100,000 as potent as the most purified NSILA-s preparation. Purified preparations of fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, nerve growth factor, and somatomedins B and C were less than 1% as effective as NSILA-s in competing for the 125I-NSILA-s suggesting that these factors act through other receptors. In contrast, somatomedin A was 10% as active as NSILA-s and multiplication-stimulating activity was fully as active as NSILA-s in competing for the NSILA-s receptor. Analysis of the data suggests that there are approximately 50 times more insulin receptors than NSILA-s receptors per liver cell, while the apparent affinity of NSILA-s receptors is somewhat higher than that of the insulin receptor. 相似文献

A mutation in the extracellular domain of the insulin receptor impairs the ability of insulin to stimulate receptor autophosphorylation. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Mutations of the insulin receptor gene have been shown to cause insulin-resistant diabetes in patients with genetic forms of insulin resistance. We have previously reported that a mutation substituting valine for Phe382 in the alpha-subunit of the insulin receptor is associated with impaired transport of the mutant receptor to the plasma membrane (Accili, D., Frapier, C., Mosthaf, L., McKeon, C., Elbein, S. C., Permutt, M. A., Ramos, E., Lander, E. S., Ullrich, A., and Taylor, S. I. (1989) EMBO J. 8, 2509-2517). In this study, we demonstrate that the Val382 mutation impairs the ability of insulin to activate receptor autophosphorylation. Furthermore, the Val382 receptor has reduced activity to phosphorylate other peptide substrates in the presence of insulin. Nevertheless, when the Val382 mutant and wild-type receptors are mixed together, the wild-type human insulin receptor is able to phosphorylate the Val382 mutant receptor, thereby activating the tyrosine kinase activity of the mutant receptor. Thus, the conformational change caused by the Val382 mutation compromises the ability of the receptor to transmit a signal across the plasma membrane. Furthermore, our observations suggest that receptor phosphorylation by an intermolecular mechanism (i.e. transphosphorylation) may play a role in mediating the action of insulin upon the target cell. 相似文献

Insulin binds to a receptor on the cell surface, thereby triggering a biological response within the target cell. Mutations in the insulin receptor gene can render the cell resistant to the biological action of insulin. We have studied a family in which two sisters have a genetic form of insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus. The technique of homozygosity mapping has been used to demonstrate that the mutation causing diabetes in this consanguineous family is genetically linked to the insulin receptor gene. The two insulin-resistant sisters are homozygous for a mutation encoding substitution of valine for phenylalanine at position 382 in the alpha-subunit of the insulin receptor. Transfection of mutant insulin receptor cDNA into NIH3T3 cells demonstrated that the Val382 mutation impaired post-translational processing and retarded transport of the insulin receptor to the plasma membrane. Thus, the mutation causes insulin resistance by decreasing the number of insulin receptors on the surface of the patients' cells. 相似文献

The effects of cationic polyamino acids on phosphorylation of the insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor kinases were studied and the following observations were made. (a) Polylysine stimulated both tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and of additional proteins present in lectin-purified membrane preparations from rat liver. (b) Polylysine synergized with insulin to enhance phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and of additional proteins (pp40 and pp110). (c) Polylysine effects were more pronounced upon increasing the polylysine chain length. (d) The effect of polylysine was biphasic with an optimum at 100 micrograms/ml. (e) Polylysine was found ineffective in stimulating the phosphorylation of immobilized insulin receptors. Taken together, these findings support the notion that the action of polylysine involves conformational changes and presumably aggregation of soluble receptors. The same effects of polylysine were obtained with highly purified insulin receptor preparations. Under these conditions polylysine enhanced both serine and tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, suggesting that polylysine stimulates the activity of the insulin receptor kinase, and of a serine kinase that is tightly associated with the insulin receptor. 相似文献

In a previous report, we have presented several lines of evidence, derived from widely different methodologies, suggesting that Leishmania has specific receptors for transferrin with a Kd similar to the mammalian transferrin receptor. This paper describes the identification, purification, and biochemical characterization of Leishmania transferrin receptor. The Leishmania transferrin receptor, detected on intact parasites by immunoperoxidase staining, was first identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by Western blot analysis, using 125I-transferrin, as a 70-kDa protein. It has been isolated initially from Leishmania infantum promastigotes using affinity chromatography on a transferrin-Sepharose column and, subsequently, from Leishmania major promastigotes. The use of polyclonal antisera to the purified 70-kDa Leishmania transferrin receptor and to the purified rat transferrin receptor showed that the two receptors are antigenically distinct. The 70-kDa Leishmania transferrin receptor was subsequently characterized as an integral membrane glycoprotein. The monomeric state of the Leishmania transferrin receptor was demonstrated by gel filtration of purified receptor complexed with 125I-transferrin. Thus, the Leishmania transferrin receptor, unlike the mammalian receptor, is not a disulfide-linked dimer but a single 70-kDa polypeptide. 相似文献

The insulin receptor is a transmembrane protein of the plasma membrane, where it recognizes extracellular insulin and transmits signals into the cellular signaling network. We report that insulin receptors are localized and signal in caveolae microdomains of adipocyte plasma membrane. Immunogold electron microscopy and immunofluorescence microscopy show that insulin receptors are restricted to caveolae and are colocalized with caveolin over the plasma membrane. Insulin receptor was enriched in a caveolae-enriched fraction of plasma membrane. By extraction with beta-cyclodextrin or destruction with cholesterol oxidase, cholesterol reduction attenuated insulin receptor signaling to protein phosphorylation or glucose transport. Insulin signaling was regained by spontaneous recovery or by exogenous replenishment of cholesterol. beta-Cyclodextrin treatment caused a nearly complete annihilation of caveolae invaginations as examined by electron microscopy. This suggests that the receptor is dependent on the caveolae environment for signaling. Insulin stimulation of cells prior to isolation of caveolae or insulin stimulation of the isolated caveolae fraction increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor in caveolae, demonstrating that insulin receptors in caveolae are functional. Our results indicate that insulin receptors are localized to caveolae in the plasma membrane of adipocytes, are signaling in caveolae, and are dependent on caveolae for signaling. 相似文献

It has been found that 1,2- but not 1,3-diacylglycerols stimulated phosphorylation of the insulin receptor of cultured human monocyte-like (U-937) and lymphoblastoid (IM-9) cells both in the intact- and broken-cell systems. The stimulation of the receptor's beta-subunit phosphorylation was dose-dependent, with optimal effect at 100 micrograms/ml of diacylglycerol. The effects of insulin and 1,2-diacylglycerols on the phosphorylation of partially purified insulin receptors were additive. Phosphoamino acid analysis showed a major effect of diacylglycerols on phosphorylation of tyrosine residues. The diacylglycerols also stimulated tyrosine kinase activity of the partially purified U-937 and IM-9 insulin receptors 2.5-3.5-fold when measured by phosphorylation of an exogenous substrate, poly(Glu80Tyr20) in the absence of any added insulin, calcium or phospholipid. Since this diacylglycerol effect could not be reproduced under conditions optimal for protein kinase C activation and the purified protein kinase C did not stimulate phosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor in this system, it is unlikely that the diacylglycerol effect was mediated by protein kinase C. Since these exogenous 1,2-diacylglycerols at the same high concentration also inhibited 125I-insulin binding to the insulin receptor of the intact U-937 and IM-9 cells, diacylglycerols could modulate the function of the insulin receptor and insulin action in human mononuclear cells. 相似文献

Internalization of insulin and its receptor in the isolated rat adipose cell. Time-course and insulin concentration dependency 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The time-course and insulin concentration dependency of internalization of insulin and its receptor have been examined in isolated rat adipose cells at 37 degrees C. The internalization of insulin was assessed by examining the subcellular distribution of cell-associated [125I]insulin among plasma membrane, and high-density (endoplasmic reticulum-enriched) and low-density (Golgi-enriched) microsomal membrane fractions prepared by differential ultracentrifugation. The distribution of receptors was measured by the steady-state exchange binding of fresh [125I]insulin to these same membrane fractions. At 37 degrees C, insulin binding to intact cells is accompanied initially by the rapid appearance of intact insulin in the plasma membrane fraction, and subsequently, by its rapid appearance in both the high-density and low-density microsomal membrane fractions. An apparent steady-state distribution of insulin per mg of membrane protein among these subcellular fractions is achieved within 30 min in a ratio of 1:1.54:0.80, respectively. Concomitantly, insulin binding to intact cells is associated with the rapid disappearance of approx. 30% of the insulin receptors initially present in the plasma membrane fraction and appearance of 20-30% of those lost in the low-density microsomal membrane fraction. However, the number of receptors in the high-density microsomal membrane fraction does not change. This redistribution of receptors also appears to reach a steady-state within 30 min. Both processes are insulin concentration-dependent, correlating with receptor occupancy in the intact cell, and are partially inhibited at 16 degrees C. While the steady-state subcellular distributions of insulin and its receptor do not correlate with that of acid phosphatase, chloroquine markedly increases the levels of insulin associated with all three membrane fractions in apparent proportion to the distribution of this lysosomal marker enzyme activity, without more than marginally potentiating insulin's effects on the distribution of receptors. These results demonstrate that insulin, initially bound to the plasma membrane of the isolated rat adipose cell, is rapidly translocated by a receptor-mediated process into at least two intracellular compartments associated with the cell's high- and low-density microsomes. Furthermore, insulin simultaneously induces the translocation of its own receptor from the plasma membrane into the latter compartment. These translocations appear to represent the internalization and partial dissociation of the insulin-receptor complex through insulin-induced receptor cycling. 相似文献

Characterization of phosphatidylinositol kinase activity associated with the insulin receptor 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Various lipids were tested as substrates for the insulin receptor kinase using either receptor partially purified from rat hepatoma cells by wheat-germ-agglutinin-Sepharose chromatography or receptor purified from human placenta by insulin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. Phosphatidylinositol was phosphorylated to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate by the partially purified insulin receptor. In contrast, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and diacylglycerol were not phosphorylated. In some, but not all preparations of partially purified insulin receptor, the phosphatidylinositol kinase activity was stimulated by insulin (mean effect 33%). Phosphatidylinositol kinase activity was retained in insulin receptor purified to homogeneity. Insulin regulation of the phosphatidylinositol kinase was lost in the purified receptor; however, dithiothreitol stimulated both autophosphorylation of the purified receptor and phosphatidylinositol kinase activity in parallel about threefold. (Glu80Tyr20)n, a polymeric substrate specific to tyrosine kinases, inhibited the phosphatidylinositol kinase activity of the purified receptor by greater than 90% and inhibited receptor autophosphorylation by 67%. Immunoprecipitation by specific anti-receptor antibodies depleted by greater than 90% the phosphatidylinositol kinase activity in the supernatant of the purified receptor and the phosphatidylinositol kinase activity was recovered in the precipitate in parallel with receptor autophosphorylation activity. These characteristics of the phosphatidylinositol kinase activity of the purified insulin receptor and its metal ion preference paralleled those of the receptor tyrosine kinase activity and differed from bulk phosphatidylinositol kinase activity in cell extracts, which was not significantly inhibited by (Glu80Tyr20)n, stimulated by dithiothreitol or depleted by immunoprecipitation with anti-(insulin receptor) antibody. These results suggest that the insulin receptor is associated with a phosphatidylinositol kinase activity; however, this activity is not well regulated by insulin. This kinase appears to be distinct from the major phosphatidylinositol kinase(s) of cells. Its relationship to insulin action needs further study. 相似文献

The membrane receptor for insulin-like growth factor II (IGF II) has been purified to near homogeneity from rat placenta by chromatography of crude plasma membranes solubilized in Triton X-100 on agarose-immobilized IGF II. Elution of the IGF II receptor from the matrix at pH 5.0 in the presence of 1.5 M NaCl resulted in a receptor purification of 1100-fold from isolated plasma membranes, or 340-fold from the Triton extract with an average yield of about 50% in five separate purifications. Analysis of 125I-IGF II binding to the solubilized receptor in the Triton extract and in purified form by the method of Scatchard demonstrated no change in receptor affinity (Kd = 0.72 nM). Sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis of the purified receptor showed one major band at Mr = 250,000 with only minor contamination. Affinity labeling of the receptor in isolated placenta membranes and in purified form using 125I-IGF II and the cross-linking agent disuccinimidyl suberate resulted in covalent labeling of only the Mr = 250,000 band. Such labeling was abolished by unlabeled IGF II but was unaffected by insulin, consistent with the previously reported specificity of IGF II receptor (Massague, J., and Czech, M.P. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 5038-5045). These results establish a one step affinity method for the purification of the type II IGF receptor that is rapid and highly efficient. 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

The lipid second messenger, phosphatidic acid, inhibits the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor in detergent-lipid mixed micelles or in reconstituted membranes. Enzymatic studies revealed that this lipid second messenger inhibits the catalytic activity of partially purified insulin receptor without affecting the affinity of the receptor for insulin. Selectivity in the protein-lipid interaction is suggested by the inability of several other acidic lipids to affect the kinase activity of the receptor and by the relative insensitivity of the inhibition to increasing ionic strength and, in some cases, micelle surface charge. Lysophosphatidic acid and phosphatidic acids with short acyl chains do not affect significantly the receptor's kinase activity, suggesting that hydrophobic interactions are involved in the inhibition. Thus, both a high affinity interaction of the insulin receptor with the phosphate headgroup and a stabilizing hydrophobic interaction with the acyl chains contribute to the inhibitory protein-lipid interaction. The selective sensitivity of the insulin receptor to phosphatidic acid suggests that the receptor-mediated generation of this lipid in the plasma membrane could negatively modulate insulin receptor function. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The role of the surrounding membrane structure on the binding characteristics of the insulin receptor was studied by using several digestive enzymes. The effects observed with particulate membrane preparations are compared with those from soluble receptor preparations. beta-Galactosidase and neuraminidase had no effect on insulin binding to either particulate or soluble receptors from human placentae. Exposure to 2 units of phospholipase C/ml increased insulin binding to particulate membranes, but was without effect on the soluble receptor preparation. The increase in binding to particulate membranes was shown to be due to an increase in apparent receptor number. After 5 min exposure to 500 microgram of trypsin/ml there was an increase in insulin binding to the particulate membrane fraction, owing to an increase in receptor affinity. After 15 min exposure to this amount of trypsin, binding decreased, owing to a progressive decrease in receptor availability. In contrast, this concentration of trypsin had no effect on the solubilized receptor preparation. Because of the differential effects of phospholipase C and trypsin on the particulate compared with the solubilized receptor preparations, it is concluded that the effects of these enzymes were due to an effect on the surrounding membrane structure. Changes in receptor configuration due to alterations within the adjoining membrane provide a potential mechanism for mediating short-term alterations in receptor function. 相似文献
