The ErbB family includes two receptors, ErbB-1 and ErbB-3, that respectively bind to epidermal growth factor and Neu differentiation factor, and an orphan receptor, ErbB-2. Unlike ErbB-1 and ErbB-2, the intrinsic tyrosine kinase of ErbB-3 is catalytically impaired. By using interleukin-3-dependent cells that ectopically express the three ErbB proteins or their combinations, we found that ErbB-3 is devoid of any biological activity but both ErbB-1 and ErbB-2 can reconstitute its extremely potent mitogenic activity. Transactivation of ErbB-3 correlates with heterodimer formation and is reflected in receptor phosphorylation and the transregulation of ligand affinity. Inter-receptor interactions enable graded proliferative and survival signals: heterodimers are more potent than homodimers, and ErbB-3-containing complexes, especially the ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimer, are more active than ErbB-1 complexes. Nevertheless, ErbB-1 signaling displays dominance over ErbB-3 when the two receptors are coexpressed. Although all receptor combinations activate the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK and c-Jun kinase, they differ in their rate of endocytosis and in coupling to intervening signaling proteins. It is conceivable that combinatorial receptor interactions diversify signal transduction and confer double regulation, in cis and in trans, of the superior mitogenic activity of the kinase-defective ErbB-3. 相似文献

A series of chimeric receptors was generated between the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, ErbB-1, and its homologue, ErbB-4, to investigate the roles of the extracellular domains (I-IV) in the ligand specificities. As compared with ErbB-1 and the chimeras with both domains I and III of ErbB-1, the chimeras with only one of these domains exhibited reduced binding of 125I-labeled EGF. Particularly, the contribution of domain III was appreciably larger than that of domain I of ErbB-1 in 125I-labeled EGF binding. Nevertheless, the chimeras with domain III of ErbB-1 and domain I of ErbB-4 were prevented from binding to 125I-labeled EGF competitively by the ErbB-4 ligand, neuregulin (NRG). On the other hand, NRG did not compete with 125I-labeled EGF for binding to the chimeras with the ErbB-1 domain I and the ErbB-4 domain III. Therefore, NRG binding to ErbB-4 depends much more on domain I than on domain III. With respect to autophosphorylation and subsequent ERK activation, EGF activated the chimeras with either domain I or III of ErbB-1. In contrast, NRG activated the chimeras with the ErbB-4 domain I and the ErbB-1 domain III, but not those with the ErbB-1 domain I and the ErbB-4 domain III. Therefore, the relative contributions between domains I and III of ErbB-4 in the NRG signaling are different from those of ErbB-1 in the EGF signaling. 相似文献

The deaf and the dumb: the biology of ErbB-2 and ErbB-3 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
ErbB-2 (also called HER2/neu) and ErbB-3 are closely related to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ErbB-1), but unlike EGFR, ErbB-2 is a ligandless receptor, whereas ErbB-3 lacks tyrosine kinase activity. Hence, both ErbB-2 and ErbB-3 are active only in the context of ErbB heterodimers, and ErbB-2. ErbB-3 heterodimers, which are driven by neuregulin ligands, are the most prevalent and potent complexes. These stringently controlled heterodimers are repeatedly employed throughout embryonic development and dictate the establishment of several cell lineages through mesenchyme-epithelial inductive processes and the interactions of neurons with muscle, glia, and Schwann cells. Likewise, the potent combination of signaling pathways engaged by the heterodimers drives an aggressive phenotype of tumors of secretory epithelia, including breast and lung cancers. This review highlights recent structural insights into the mechanism of ligand-induced heterodimer formation, and concentrates on signaling pathways employed by ErbB-2 and ErbB-3 in normal and in malignant cells. 相似文献

Recombinant expression of a chimeric EGFR/ErbB-3 receptor in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts allowed us to investigate cytoplasmic events associated with ErbB-3 signal transduction upon ligand activation. An EGFR/ErbB-3 chimera was expressed on the surface of NIH 3T3 transfectants as two classes of receptors possessing epidermal growth factor (EGF) binding affinities comparable to those of the wild-type EGF receptor (EGFR). EGF induced autophosphorylation in vivo of the chimeric receptor and DNA synthesis of EGFR/ErbB-3 transfectants with a dose response similar to that of EGFR transfectants. However, the ErbB-3 and EGFR cytoplasmic domains exhibited striking differences in their interactions with several known tyrosine kinase substrates. We demonstrated strong association of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity with the chimeric receptor upon ligand activation comparable in efficiency with that of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor, while the EGFR exhibited a 10- to 20-fold-lower efficiency in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase recruitment. By contrast, both phospholipase C gamma and GTPase-activating protein failed to associate with or be phosphorylated by the ErbB-3 cytoplasmic domain under conditions in which they coupled with the EGFR. In addition, though certain signal transmitters, including Shc and GRB2, were recruited by both kinases, EGFR and ErbB-3 elicited tyrosine phosphorylation of distinct sets of intracellular substrates. Thus, our findings show that ligand activation of the ErbB-3 kinase triggers a cytoplasmic signaling pathway that hitherto is unique within this receptor subfamily. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha are potent activators of the ErbB-1 receptor, but, unlike TGF-alpha, EGF is also a weak activator of ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimers. To understand the specificity of EGF-like growth factors for binding to distinct ErbB members, we used EGF/TGF-alpha chimeras to examine the requirements for ErbB-2/ErbB-3 activation. Here we show that in contrast to these two wild-type ligands, distinct EGF/TGF-alpha chimeras are potent activators of ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimers. On the basis of differences in the potency of these various chimeras, specific residues in the linear N-terminal region and the so-called B-loop of these ligands were identified to be involved in interaction with ErbB-2/ErbB-3. A chimera consisting of human EGF sequences with the linear N-terminal region of human TGF-alpha was found to be almost as potent as the natural ligand neuregulin (NRG)-1beta in activating 32D cells expressing ErbB-2/ErbB-3 and human breast cancer cells. Binding studies revealed that this chimera, designated T1E, has high affinity for ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimers, but not for ErbB-3 alone. Subsequent exchange studies revealed that introduction of both His2 and Phe3 into the linear N-terminal region was already sufficient to make EGF a potent activator of ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimers, indicating that these two amino acids contribute positively to this receptor binding. Analysis of the B-loop revealed that Leu26 in EGF facilitates interaction with ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimers, while the equivalent Glu residue in TGF-alpha impairs binding. Since all EGF/TGF-alpha chimeras tested have maintained high binding affinity for ErbB-1, it is concluded that the diversity of the ErbB signaling network is determined by specific amino acids that facilitate binding to one receptor member, in addition to residues that impede binding to other ErbB family members. 相似文献

Dimerization among the EGFR family of tyrosine kinase receptors leads to allosteric activation of the kinase domains of the partners. Unlike other members in the family, the kinase domain of HER3 lacks key amino acid residues for catalytic activity. As a result, HER3 is suggested to serve as an allosteric activator of other EGFR family members which include EGFR, HER2 and HER4. To study the role of intracellular domains in HER3 dimerization and activation of downstream signaling pathways, we constructed HER3/HER2 chimeric receptors by replacing the HER3 kinase domain (HER3-2-3) or both the kinase domain and the C-terminal tail (HER3-2-2) with the HER2 counterparts and expressed the chimeric receptors in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. While over expression of the intact human HER3 transformed CHO cells with oncogenic properties such as AKT/ERK activation and increased proliferation and migration, CHO cells expressing the HER3-2-3 chimeric receptor showed significantly reduced HER3/HER2 dimerization and decreased phosphorylation of both AKT and ERK1/2 in the presence of neuregulin-1 (NRG-1). In contrast, CHO cells expressing the HER3-2-2 chimeric receptor resulted in a total loss of downstream AKT activation in response to NRG-1, but maintained partial activation of ERK1/2. The results demonstrate that the intracellular domains play a crucial role in HER3’s function as an allosteric activator and its role in downstream signaling. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGFalpha) are mitogenic hormones that exert their activity primarily by binding to the EGF receptor, also known as ErbB-1. We have recently characterized a set of EGF/TGFalpha chimeric molecules with similar high affinity for ErbB-1 as EGF and TGFalpha and shown that three of these chimeras induce mitogenic cell stimulation at already a 10-fold lower concentration than their wild-type counterparts (Lenferink, A. E., Kramer, R. H., van Vugt, M. J., K?nigswieser, M., DiFiore, P. P., van Zoelen, E. J., and van de Poll, M. L. (1997) Biochem. J. 327, 859-865). In the present study we show that these so-called superagonistic chimeras do not differ from EGF and TGFalpha in their ability to induce ErbB-1 tyrosine phosphorylation but are considerably more potent in activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation. Direct cell binding studies and analysis of ligand-receptor interaction by surface plasmon resonance measurements revealed that both the association rate constant (k(on)) and the dissociation rate constant (k(off)) of these superagonists is 3-5-fold higher in comparison with the wild-type ligands and nonsuperagonistic chimeras. These data indicate that the dynamic on and off rate constants for receptor binding may be more specific parameters for determining the mitogenic activity of peptide hormones than their constants for equilibrium receptor binding. 相似文献

The retroviral oncogene S3-v-erbB is a transduced, truncated form of the avian EGF (ErbB-1) receptor. Infection of avian fibroblasts with a retroviral vector expressing S3-v-ErbB results in ligand-independent cell transformation, which is accompanied by the assembly of a transformation-specific phosphoprotein signaling complex and anchorage-independent cell growth. It previously had been reported, using lysine-721 mutants (K721), that kinase domain function was required for ErbB-mediated cell transformation. However, since these initial reports, several studies using aspartate-813 mutants (D813) have demonstrated the ability of kinase-impaired ErbB receptors to induce mitogenic signal transduction pathways and cell transformation in a ligand-dependent manner. To determine the necessity of ErbB receptor kinase domain catalytic activity in ligand-independent cell transformation, we created S3-v-ErbB-K(-), a kinase-impaired oncoprotein constructed by replacing aspartate-813 with alanine (D813A). Subcellular routing as well as cell surface membrane and nuclear localization of the S3-v-ErbB-K(-) mutant receptor were unaffected by impairment of kinase activity. In contrast, avian fibroblasts expressing S3-v-ErbB-K(-) do not form the characteristic transformation-specific phosphoprotein complex, or induce soft agar colony growth in vitro. These results suggest that in contrast to ligand-dependent oncogenic signaling, ligand-independent cell transformation by a constitutively activated mutant form of the EGF receptor requires receptor kinase catalytic activity. In addition, these results demonstrate that phosphorylation and assembly of downstream signaling complexes require tyrosine phosphorylation events that are directly mediated by oncogenic forms of the EGF receptor. 相似文献

The kit protooncogene encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase related to the receptors for the platelet derived growth factor (PDGF-R) and the macrophage growth factor (CSF1-R), and was very recently shown to bind a stem cell factor. To compare signal transduction by the kit kinase with signaling by homologous receptors we constructed a chimeric protein composed of the extracellular domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of kit. We have previously shown that the chimeric receptor transmits potent mitogenic and transforming signals in response to the heterologous ligand. Here we demonstrate that upon ligand binding, the ligand-receptor complex undergoes endocytosis and degradation and induces short- and long-term cellular effects. Examination of the signal transduction pathway revealed that the activated kit kinase strongly associates with phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase activity and a phosphoprotein of 85 kd. In addition, the ligand-stimulated kit kinase is coupled to modifications of phospholipase C gamma and the Raf1 protein kinase. However, it does not lead to a significant change in the production of inositol phosphate. Comparison of our results with the known signaling pathways of PDGF-R and CSF1-R suggests that each receptor is coupled to a specific combination of signal transducers. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds with high affinity to the EGF receptor, also known as ErbB-1, but upon replacement of the N-terminal linear region by neuregulin (NRG) 1 or transforming growth factor (TGF) alpha sequences it gains in addition high affinity for ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimers. However, these chimeras weakly bind to ErbB-3 alone. To further dissect the ligand binding selectivity of the ErbB network, we have applied the phage display technique to examine the role of the linear N-terminal region in EGF for interaction with ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimers. A library of EGF variants was constructed in which residues 2, 3, and 4 were randomly mutated, followed by selection for binding to intact MDA-MB-453 cells that overexpress ErbB-2 and ErbB-3 but lack ErbB-1. Analysis of the selected phage EGF variants revealed clones with high binding affinity to ErbB-2/ErbB-3 while maintaining high affinity to ErbB-1. In these variants, Trp (or alternatively His) was almost exclusively present at position 2, while specific combinations of hydrophobic, basic, and small residues were found at positions 3 and 4. The mitogenic activity of the phage EGF variants corresponded with their relative binding affinity. Two of the selected EGF variants, EGF/WVS and EGF/WRS, were further characterized as recombinant proteins. In contrast to previously characterized chimeras of EGF with NRG-1 or TGF-alpha, these variants did not only show high binding affinity for ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimers but also for ErbB-3 alone. These data show that the linear N-terminal region of EGF-like growth factors is directly involved in binding to ErbB-3. 相似文献

Both homo- and hetero-dimers of ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases mediate signaling by a large group of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like ligands. However, some ligands are more potent than others, although they bind to the same direct receptor. In addition, signaling by receptor heterodimers is superior to homodimers. We addressed the mechanism underlying these two features of signal tuning by using three ligands: EGF; transforming growth factor alpha (TGFalpha); and their chimera, denoted E4T, which act on cells singly expressing ErbB-1 as a weak, a strong, and a very strong agonist, respectively. Co-expression of ErbB-2, a developmentally important co-receptor whose expression is frequently elevated in human cancers, specifically potentiated EGF signaling to the level achieved by TGFalpha, an effect that was partially mimicked by ErbB-3. Analysis of the mechanism underlying this trans-potentiation implied that EGF-driven homodimers of ErbB-1 are destined for intracellular degradation, whereas the corresponding heterodimers with ErbB-2 or with ErbB-3, dissociate in the early endosome. As a consequence, in the presence of either co-receptor, ErbB-1 is recycled to the cell surface and its signaling is enhanced. This latter route is followed by TGFalpha-driven homodimers of ErbB-1, and also by E4T-bound receptors, whose signaling is further enhanced by repeated cycles of binding and dissociation from the receptors. We conclude that alternative endocytic routes of homo- and hetero-dimeric receptor complexes may contribute to tuning and diversification of signal transduction. In addition, the ability of ErbB-2 to shunt ligand-activated receptors to recycling may explain, in part, its oncogenic potential. 相似文献

Neuregulin, or neu differentiation factor, induces cell proliferation or differentiation through interaction with members of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases. We report that neuregulin can also induce profound morphogenic responses in cultured epithelial cells of different origins. These effects include scattering of small epithelial islands and rearrangement of larger cell islands into ordered ring-shaped arrays with internal lumens. The ring-forming cells are interconnected by cadherin- and β-catenin-containing adherens junctions. In confluent cultures, neuregulin treatment induces formation of circular lumenlike gaps in the monolayer. Both cell scattering and ring formation are accompanied by a marked increase in cell motility that is independent of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor and its receptor (c-Met). Affinity-labeling experiments implied that a combination of ErbB-2 with ErbB-3 mediates the morphogenic signal of neuregulin in gastric cells. Indeed, a similar morphogenic effect could be reconstituted in nonresponsive cells by coexpression of ErbB-2 and -3. We conclude that a heterodimer between the kinase-defective neuregulin receptor, ErbB-3, and the coreceptor, ErbB-2, mediates the morphogenetic action of neuregulin. 相似文献

Degradation of activated ERBB receptors is an important mechanism for signal attenuation. However, compared with epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, the ERBB2/ERBB3 signaling pair is considered to be attenuation-deficient. The ERBB2/ERBB3 ligands of the neuregulin family rely on an EGF-like domain for signaling and are generated from larger membrane-bound precursors. In contrast to EGF, which is processed to yield a 6-kDa peptide ligand, mature neuregulins retain a variety of segments N-terminal to the EGF-like domain. Here we evaluate the role of the N-terminal domain of neuregulin 1 in signaling and turnover of ERBB2/ERBB3. Our data suggest that whereas the EGF-like domain of neuregulin 1 is required and sufficient for the formation of active receptor heterodimers, the presence of the N-terminal Ig-like domain is required for efficient signal attenuation. This manifests itself for both ERBB2 and ERBB3 but is more pronounced and coupled directly to degradation for ERBB3. When stimulated with only the EGF-like domain, ERBB3 shows degradation rates comparable with constitutive turnover, but stimulation with full-length neuregulin 1 resulted in receptor degradation at rates that are comparable with activated EGF receptor. Most of the enhancement in down-regulation was maintained after replacing the Ig-like domain with a thioredoxin protein of comparable size but different amino acid composition, suggesting that the physical presence but not specific properties of the Ig-like domain are needed. This sequence-independent effect of the N-terminal domain correlates with an enhanced ability of full-size neuregulin 1 to disrupt higher order oligomers of the ERBB3 extracellular domains in vitro. 相似文献

The different epidermal growth factor (EGF)-related peptides elicit a diverse array of biological responses as the result of their ability to activate distinct subsets of ErbB receptor dimers, leading to the recruitment of different intracellular signaling networks. To specifically examine dimerization-dependent modulation of receptor signaling, we constructed NIH 3T3 cell lines expressing ErbB-1 and ErbB-2 singly and in pairwise combinations with each other ErbB family member. This model system allowed the comparison of EGF-activated ErbB-1 with ErbB-1 activated by Neu differentiation factor (NDF)-induced heterodimerization with ErbB-4. In both cases, ErbB-1 coupled to the adaptor protein Shc, but only when activated by EGF was it able to interact with Grb2. Compared to the rapid internalization of EGF-activated ErbB-1, NDF-activated ErbB-1 showed delayed internalization characteristics. Furthermore, the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol kinase (PI3-K) associated with EGF-activated ErbB-1 in a biphasic manner, whereas association with ErbB-1 transactivated by ErbB-4 was monophasic. The signaling properties of ErbB-2 following heterodimerization with the other ErbB receptors or homodimerization induced by point mutation or monoclonal antibody treatment were also analyzed. ErbB-2 binding to peptides containing the Src homology 2 domain of Grb2 or p85 and the phosphotyrosine binding domain of Shc varied according to the mode of receptor activation. Finally, tryptic phosphopeptide mapping of both ErbB-1 and ErbB-2 revealed that receptor phosphorylation is dependent on the dimerization partner. Differential receptor phosphorylation may, therefore, be the basis for the differences in the signaling properties observed. 相似文献

A chimeric expression vector which encoded for a molecule encompassing the extracellular domain of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) and the intracellular domain of the ret kinase (EGFR/ret chimera) was generated. Upon ectopic expression in mammalian cells, the EGFR/ret chimera was correctly synthesized and transported to the cell surface, where it was shown capable of binding EGF and transducing an EGF-dependent signal intracellularly. Thus, the EGFR/ret chimera allows us to study the biological effects and biochemical activities of the ret kinase under controlled conditions of activation. Comparative analysis of the growth-promoting activity of the EGFR/ret chimera expressed in fibroblastic or hematopoietic cells revealed a biological phenotype clearly distinguishable from that of the EGFR, indicating that the two kinases couple with mitogenic pathways which are different to some extent. Analysis of biochemical pathways implicated in the transduction of mitogenic signals also evidenced significant differences between the ret kinase and other receptor tyrosine kinases. Thus, the sum of our results indicates the existence of a ret-specific pathway of mitogenic signaling. 相似文献

Cell surface expression of CD45, a receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase), is required for T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-mediated signal transduction. Like the majority of transmembrane PTPases, CD45 contains two cytoplasmic phosphatase domains, whose relative in vivo function is not known. Site-directed mutagenesis of the individual catalytic residues of the two CD45 phosphatase domains indicates that the catalytic activity of the membrane-proximal domain is both necessary and sufficient for restoration of TCR signal transduction in a CD45-deficient cell. The putative catalytic activity of the distal phosphatase domain is not required for proximal TCR-mediated signaling events. Moreover, in the context of a chimeric PTPase receptor, the putative catalytic activity of the distal phosphatase domain is not required for ligand-induced negative regulation of PTPase function. We also demonstrate that the phosphorylation of the C-terminal tyrosine of Lck, a site of negative regulation, is reduced only when CD45 mutants with demonstrable in vitro phosphatase activity are introduced into the CD45-deficient cells. These results demonstrate that the phosphatase activity of CD45 is critical for TCR signaling, and for regulating the levels of C-terminal phosphorylated Lck molecules. 相似文献

Neu differentiation factor (NDF; also known as neuregulin) induces a pleiotropic cellular response that is cell type-dependent. NDF and its receptor ErbB-4 are highly expressed in neurons, implying important roles in neuronal cell functions. In the present study we demonstrate that ErbB-4 receptors expressed in PC12 cells mediate NDF-induced signals and neurite outgrowth that are indistinguishable from those mediated by the nerve growth factor-activated Trk receptors. In PC12-ErbB-4 cells but not in PC12 cells, NDF induced an initial weak mitogenic signal and subsequently neurite outgrowth. The NDF-induced differentiation in PC12-ErbB-4 cells was mimicked by the pan-ErbB ligand betacellulin but not by other epidermal growth factor-like ligands. Thus, NDF and betacellulin mediate similar activities through the ErbB-4 receptor. Indeed, only these ligands induced strong phosphorylation of the ErbB-4 receptors. Neurite outgrowth induced by NDF in PC12-ErbB-4 cells was accompanied by sustained activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and induction of the neural differentiation marker GAP-43. Inhibition of the MAPK kinase MEK or of protein kinase C (PKC) blocked NDF-induced differentiation, whereas elevation of cyclic AMP levels enhanced the response. Taken together, these results indicate that neurite outgrowth induced by ErbB-4 in PC12 cells requires MAPK and PKC signaling networks. 相似文献

Exposure of carcinoma cell lines to the antibiotic geldanamycin induces the degradation of ErbB-2, a co-receptor tyrosine kinase that is frequently overexpressed in certain tumors. Using ErbB-2 mutants expressed as chimeric receptors or green fluorescent protein fusion proteins, we report that the kinase domain of ErbB-2 is essential for geldanamycin-induced degradation. The kinase domain of the related epidermal growth factor receptor was not sensitive to this drug. The data further indicate mechanistic aspects of ErbB-2 degradation by geldanamycin. The data show that exposure to the drug induces at least one cleavage within the cytoplasmic domain of ErbB-2 producing a 135-kDa fragment and a 23-kDa fragment. The latter represents the carboxyl-terminal domain of ErbB-2, whereas the former represents the ectodomain and part of the cytoplasmic domain. Degradation of the carboxyl-terminal fragment is prevented by proteasome inhibitors, whereas degradation of the membrane-anchored 135-kDa ErbB-2 fragment is blocked by inhibitors of the endocytosis-dependent degradation pathway. Confocal microscopy studies confirm a geldanamycin-induced localization of ErbB-2 on intracellular vesicles. 相似文献

Interaction of the nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor/Trk with cellular substrates was investigated by transient co-overexpression in human 293 fibroblasts using ET-R, a chimeric receptor consisting of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) extracellular ligand binding domain and the Trk transmembrane and intracellular signal-generating sequences. The chimera was fully functional, and associated with and phosphorylated phospholipase C gamma (PLC gamma), ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP) and the non-catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3'-kinase, p85, in a ligand-dependent manner. Deletion of 15 C-terminal amino acids, including tyrosine 785 (Y-785) abrogated receptor and substrate phosphorylation activities. Mutation of Y-785 to phenylalanine somewhat impaired receptor phosphorylation activity, which was reflected in reduced GAP and p85 phosphorylation. In contrast, ET-YF phosphorylation of PLC gamma was significantly reduced, while the high affinity association potential with this substrate was abrogated by this point mutation in vitro and in intact cells. Furthermore, a tyrosine-phosphorylated synthetic C-terminal peptide competitively inhibited Trk cytoplasmic domain association with PLC gamma. Thus, the short C-terminal tail appears to be a crucial structural element of the Trk cytoplasmic domain, and phosphorylated Y-785 is a major and selective interaction site for PLC gamma. 相似文献
