Previous studies have shown that exposure of cells to Zn2+ ions induces Ras and MAPK activation through the EGF receptor (EGFR). To further determine the role of EGFR in Zn2+-induced signaling, mouse B82L fibroblasts expressing no detectable EGFR protein (B82L-par), wild type EGFR (B82L-wt), kinase-deficient EGFR (B82L-K721M), or COOH-truncated EGFR (B82L-c'958) were tested. Exposure to Zn2+ induced Ras activity in B82L-wt, B82L-K721M, and B82L-c'958 but not in B82L-par cells, indicating that the tyrosine kinase domain and the auto-phosphorylation sites of the EGFR were not required for Zn2+-induced Ras activation. Zn2+ induced Src activation in all B82L cell lines, including B82L-par, indicating that Src activation is independent of the presence of the EGFR. A Src kinase inhibitor blocked Zn2+-induced Ras activation in all the B82L cell lines capable of this response, suggesting the involvement of Src kinase in Zn2+-induced Ras activation via the EGFR. Zn2+ induced the association of the EGFR with Src and specifically increased the phosphorylation of EGFR at tyrosine 845 (Tyr-845), a known Src phosphorylation site. Stably transfected B82L cells with a point mutation of the EGFR at Tyr-845 (B82L-Y845F) exhibited only basal Ras activity following exposure to Zn2+. These data demonstrate that Src-dependent phosphorylation of the EGFR at Tyr-845 is required for EGFR transactivation and Zn2+-induced Ras activation.  相似文献

Agonist exposure of many G protein-coupled receptors induces a rapid receptor phosphorylation and uncoupling from G proteins. Resensitization of these desensitized receptors requires endocytosis and subsequent dephosphorylation. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen, the rat mu-opioid receptor (MOR1, also termed MOP) was found to be associated with phospholipase D2 (PLD2), a phospholipid-specific phosphodiesterase located in the plasma membrane, which has been implicated in the formation of endocytotic vesicles. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments in HEK293 cells coexpressing MOR1 and PLD2 confirmed that MOR1 constitutively interacts with PLD2. Treatment with the mu receptor agonist DAMGO ([d-Ala(2), Me Phe(4), Glyol(5)]enkephalin) led to an increase in PLD2 activity, whereas morphine, which does not induce MOR1 receptor internalization, failed to induce PLD2 activation. The DAMGO-mediated PLD2 activation was inhibited by brefeldin A, an inhibitor of ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) but not by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor calphostin C indicating that opioid receptor-mediated activation of PLD2 is ARF- but not PKC-dependent. Furthermore, heterologous stimulation of PLD2 by phorbol ester led to an accelerated internalization of the mu-opioid receptor after both DAMGO and morphine exposure. Conversely the inhibition of PLD2-mediated phosphatidic acid formation by 1-butanol or overexpression of a negative mutant of PLD2 prevented agonist-mediated endocytosis of MOR1. Together, these data suggest that PLD2 play a key role in the regulation of agonist-induced endocytosis of the mu-opioid receptor.  相似文献

Chemical modification of carboxyl residues in polypeptide subunits of the mitochondrial bc1 complex causes a decoupling effect, that is inhibition of the proton pumping activity, without affecting the rate of electron transfer to ferricytochrome c. The study presented here is aimed at localizing and identifying the residues whose modification results in decoupling of the complex. Glutamate-53 in subunit IX (the DCCD-binding protein) and aspartate-166 in the Rieske iron-sulfur protein are the residues modified by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) and N-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ), respectively. The results obtained also suggest that the carboxy-terminal sequence of the Core protein II, which is fairly rich in acidic residues, may also play a role in the vectorial proton translocation activity of the complex.  相似文献

Phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC-gamma 1) is phosphorylated on three tyrosine residues: Tyr-771, Tyr-783, and Tyr-1253. With the use of antibodies specific for each of these phosphorylation sites, we have now determined the kinetics and magnitude of phosphorylation at each site. Phosphorylation of Tyr-783, which is essential for lipase activation, was observed in all stimulated cell types examined. The extent of phosphorylation of Tyr-1253 was approximately 50 to 70% of that of Tyr-783 in cells stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or epidermal growth factor (EGF), but Tyr-1253 phosphorylation was not detected in B or T cell lines stimulated through B- and T-cell antigen receptors, respectively. Tyr-771 was phosphorylated only at a low level in all cells studied. In cells stimulated with PDGF, phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of Tyr-783 and of Tyr-1253 occurred with similar kinetics; the receptor kinase appeared to phosphorylate both sites, albeit with Tyr-783 favored over Tyr-1253, before the bound PLC-gamma 1 was released, and phosphorylation at the two sites occurred independently. PDGF and EGF induced similar levels of phosphorylation of Tyr-783 and of Tyr-1253 in a cell line that expressed receptors for both growth factors. However, only PDGF, not EGF, elicited substantial PLC activity, suggesting that Tyr-783 phosphorylation was not sufficient for enzyme activation. Finally, concurrent production of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate was found to contribute to the activation of phosphorylated PLC-gamma 1.  相似文献

Cytosolic glutathione transferases (GSTs) were purified from the rat spleen by S-hexyl-GSH-Sepharose chromatography, and two major forms were identified as GSTs 2-2 and 7-7 (GST P). Besides these forms an acidic form (pI 5.8) was purified by chromatofocusing at pH 7-4 and it accounted for about 1% of the total GST activity bound to S-hexyl-GSH-Sepharose. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed that it is a homodimer (subunit Mr 26,000 with pI 5.8). Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that it was immunologically related to GSTs 2-2 and 1-1, and its N-terminal amino acid was apparently blocked, similarly to other forms of the class Alpha. This form had a low activity towards cumene hydroperoxide or 4-hydroxynon-2-enal, indicating that this form differed from GSTs 10-10 and 8-8 as well as from GSTs 1-1 and 2-2. These results suggest that it is a new form of GST belonging to the class Alpha.  相似文献

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) elicits pleiotropic effects on various types of cells through the c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase. However, the mechanisms underlying the diverse responses of cells remain unknown. We show here that HGF promoted chemokinesis of rat primary astrocytes through the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3)-kinase without any influence on mitogenesis of the cells. Under the same condition, phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1), which is another signal mediator of c-Met, was not tyrosine-phosphorylated during HGF stimulation. However, treatment of the cells with orthovanadate, a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, restored the HGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma1. A tyrosine phosphatase, SHP-1, was associated with both PI3-kinase and PLCgamma1 before HGF stimulation, but it was dissociated only from PI3-kinase after the stimulation. Furthermore, transfectants of catalytically inactive mutant of SHP-1 showed tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma1 and mitogenic responses to HGF, and the mitogenic response was blocked with, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC, and calphostin C, an inhibitor of protein kinase C downstream of the PLCgamma1. These results indicate that PLCgamma1 is selectively prevented from being a signal mediator by constitutive association of SHP-1, and that this selective inhibition of PLCgamma1 may determine the cellular response of astrocytes to HGF.  相似文献

Treatment of cells with interferon (IFN)-alpha caused phosphorylation and activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). The protein tyrosine kinase Jak1 was found to be necessary for the activation of cPLA2. Jak1 could be co-immunoprecipitated with cPLA2 from cell extracts, indicating that a close physical interaction occurs between these two proteins. The induction of IFN-stimulated gene factor three (ISGF3) by IFN-alpha, is blocked by cPLA2 inhibitors in cell cultures and in cell-free reconstituted systems. However, these inhibitors do not block IFN-alpha or gamma-induced binding of STAT1 to the inverted repeat (IR) element of the IFN regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) gene. Thus, cPLA2 activations occurs as an early event in the IFN-alpha response and is selectively involved in ISGF3-dependent gene activation.  相似文献

The interaction of platelet membrane glycoprotein VI (GPVI) with collagen can initiate (patho)physiological thrombus formation. The viper venom C-type lectin family proteins convulxin and alboaggregin-A activate platelets by interacting with GPVI. In this study, we isolated from white-lipped tree viper (Trimeresurus albolabris) venom, alborhagin, which is functionally related to convulxin because it activates platelets but is structurally different and related to venom metalloproteinases. Alborhagin-induced platelet aggregation (EC50, <7.5 microg/ml) was inhibitable by an anti-alphaIIbbeta3 antibody, CRC64, and the Src family kinase inhibitor PP1, suggesting that alborhagin activates platelets, leading to alphaIIbbeta3-dependent aggregation. Additional evidence suggested that, like convulxin, alborhagin activated platelets by a mechanism involving GPVI. First, alborhagin- and convulxin-treated platelets showed a similar tyrosine phosphorylation pattern, including a similar level of phospholipase Cgamma2 phosphorylation. Second, alborhagin induced GPVI-dependent responses in GPVI-transfected K562 and Jurkat cells. Third, alborhagin-dependent aggregation of mouse platelets was inhibited by the anti-GPVI monoclonal antibody JAQ1. Alborhagin had minimal effect on convulxin binding to GPVI-expressing cells, indicating that these venom proteins may recognize distinct binding sites. Characterization of alborhagin as a GPVI agonist that is structurally distinct from convulxin demonstrates the versatility of snake venom toxins and provides a novel probe for GPVI-dependent platelet activation.  相似文献

The stimulation of platelets by low doses of collagen induces extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) activation. In this report, we demonstrate that collagen-induced ERK2 activation depends on thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) formation and ADP release. The collagen-induced ERK2 activation was inhibited by indomethacin (88%) and by AR-C69931MX (70%), a specific antagonist of P2Y12, a Gi-coupled ADP receptor. AR-C69931MX (10 microM) inhibition was overcome by epinephrine (1 microM), an agonist of the Gi-coupled alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptor, suggesting that the Gi-coupled receptor was necessary for ERK2 activation by collagen. By contrast, MRS 2179 (10 microM), a specific antagonist of P2Y1, a Gq-coupled ADP receptor, did not affect collagen-induced ERK2 activation. Little or no ERK2 activation was observed with ADP alone (10 microM). By contrast, U46619 (10 microM), a stable analog of TXA(2), induced ERK2 activation in an ADP-dependent manner, via the P2Y12 receptor. These results suggest that the Gi-dependent signaling pathway, stimulated by ADP or epinephrine, was not the only pathway required for ERK2 activation by collagen. Costimulation of the specific G(12/13)-coupled TXA(2) receptor with a low dose of U46619 (10 nM) and of Gi- and Gq-coupled ADP receptor (10 microM) induced very low levels of ERK2 activation, similar to those observed with ADP alone, suggesting that G(12/13) is not involved or not sufficient to induce the additional pathway necessary for ERK2 activation. The Gq-coupled TXA(2) receptor was required for ERK2 activation by U46619 (10 microM) and low doses of collagen, clearly showing that a coordinated pathway through both Gq from TXA(2) and Gi from ADP was necessary for ERK2 activation. Finally, we demonstrate that ERK2 activation is involved in collagen-induced aggregation and secretion.  相似文献

Recent studies implicate the collagen receptor, glycoprotein VI (GPVI) in activation of platelet 12-lipoxygenase (p12-LOX). Herein, we show that GPVI-stimulated 12-hydro(peroxy)eicosatetraenoic acid (H(P)ETE) synthesis is inhibited by palmityl trifluromethyl ketone or oleyloxyethylphosphocholine , but not bromoenol lactone, implicating secretory and cytosolic, but not calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (PLA2) isoforms. Also, following GPVI activation, 12-LOX co-immunoprecipitates with both cytosolic and secretory PLA2 (sPLA2). Finally, venoms containing sPLA2 acutely activate p12-LOX in a dose-dependent manner. This study shows that platelet 12-H(P)ETE generation utilizes arachidonate substrate from both c- and sPLA2 and that 12-LOX functionally associates with both PLA2 isoforms.  相似文献

The disruption of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling regulation by its point mutation, V617F, is involved in various myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs). JAK2 V617F mutant induced constitutive activation of Akt when erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) was coexpressed; however, the physiological role of Akt activation in MPDs has not been elucidated. LY294002, a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, inhibited Akt activation and induced apoptotic cell death in cells expressing JAK2 V617F mutant and EpoR. Previously, it has been shown that the phosphorylation at Y479 in EpoR is critical for the interaction with PI3K, an upstream molecule of Akt. Hence, EpoR mutant with a point mutation of Y479F, which fails to activate Akt, is useful for addressing the role of Akt activation in JAK2 V617F mutant-induced tumorigenesis. Interestingly, under the expression of EpoR Y479F mutant, JAK2 V617F mutant failed to exhibit potent anti-apoptotic activity. In addition, JAK2 V617F mutant-induced phosphorylation of CREB and GSK-3β was significantly decreased in cells expressing EpoR Y479F mutant, resulting in the downregulation of Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 expression. Furthermore, compared with when nude mice were inoculated with cells expressing JAK2 V617F mutant and EpoR, the lifespan of nude mice inoculated with cells expressing JAK2 V617F mutant and EpoR Y479F mutant was effectively prolonged. Taken together, it was clarified that PI3K-Akt activation through the phosphorylation of EpoR at Y479 is required for oncogenic signaling of JAK2 V617F mutant and that targeted disruption of this pathway has therapeutic utility.  相似文献

Cells expressing mutant epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors have been used to study mechanisms through which EGF increases phospholipase C (PLC) activity. C-terminal truncation mutant EGF receptors are markedly impaired in their ability to increase inositol phosphate formation compared with wild-type EGF receptors. Mutation of the single tyrosine self-phosphorylation site at residue 992 to phenylalanine in an EGF receptor truncated at residue 1000 abolished the ability of EGF to increase inositol phosphate formation. C-terminal deletion mutant receptors that are impaired in their ability to increase inositol phosphate formation effectively phosphorylate PLC-gamma at the same tyrosine residues as do wild-type EGF receptors. EGF enhances PLC-gamma association with wild-type EGF receptors but not with mutant receptors lacking sites of tyrosine phosphorylation. These results indicate that formation of a complex between self-phosphorylated EGF receptors and PLC-gamma is necessary for enzyme activation in vivo. We propose that both binding of PLC-gamma to activated EGF receptors and tyrosine phosphorylation of the enzyme are necessary to elicit biological responses. Kinase-active EGF receptors lacking sites of tyrosine phosphorylation are unable to signal increased inositol phosphate formation and increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration.  相似文献

Interaction of interleukin 2 (IL2) with its high affinity membrane receptor complex (IL2R) is sufficient to induce proliferation of T lymphocytes. However, the biochemical mechanisms by which IL2 induces this process remain unresolved. The IL2R complex consists of at least two distinct polypeptides that bind IL2, a 75-kDa intermediate affinity subunit (IL2R beta) and a 55-kDa low affinity subunit (IL2R alpha). As indicated by Western blotting with anti-phosphotyrosine-specific antibodies and confirmed by phosphoamino acid analysis, we now demonstrate that interaction of the T cell growth factor interleukin 2 (IL2) with its high affinity receptor on IL2-sensitive human peripheral blood lymphoblasts induces tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins of 92, 80, 78, 70-75, and 57 kDa. IL2 induced tyrosine phosphorylation in YT 2C2 cells which express only the 75-kDa intermediate affinity IL2 binding molecule (IL2R beta) but not in cells which either express only the 55-kDa low affinity IL2 receptor molecule (IL2R alpha) or no IL2-binding sites. Therefore, IL2R beta, in the absence of IL2R alpha, appears sufficient to transduce the transmembrane signal leading to tyrosine phosphorylation. Two different antibodies reactive with phosphotyrosine specifically immunoprecipitated IL2R beta cross-linked to radiolabeled IL2. These findings suggest that IL2R beta is a substrate for the tyrosine kinase which is activated by IL2 binding to its receptor. Thus, like several other growth factor receptors, activation of the IL2R results in an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation with the receptor itself serving as one substrate.  相似文献

Cooperatively assembled signalling complexes, nucleated by adaptor proteins, integrate information from surface receptors to determine cellular outcomes. In T and mast cells, antigen receptor signalling is nucleated by three adaptors: SLP-76, Gads and LAT. Three well-characterized SLP-76 tyrosine phosphorylation sites recruit key components, including a Tec-family tyrosine kinase, Itk. We identified a fourth, evolutionarily conserved SLP-76 phosphorylation site, Y173, which was phosphorylated upon T-cell receptor stimulation in primary murine and Jurkat T cells. Y173 was required for antigen receptor-induced phosphorylation of phospholipase C-γ1 (PLC-γ1) in both T and mast cells, and for consequent downstream events, including activation of the IL-2 promoter in T cells, and degranulation and IL-6 production in mast cells. In intact cells, Y173 phosphorylation depended on three, ZAP-70-targeted tyrosines at the N-terminus of SLP-76 that recruit and activate Itk, a kinase that selectively phosphorylated Y173 in vitro. These data suggest a sequential mechanism whereby ZAP-70-dependent priming of SLP-76 at three N-terminal sites triggers reciprocal regulatory interactions between Itk and SLP-76, which are ultimately required to couple active Itk to its substrate, PLC-γ1.  相似文献

The addition of interleukin 2 (IL2) to the IL2-dependent murine cytotoxic T cell line CTTL-2 induced increased tyrosine phosphorylation of a protein with a molecular weight of 80,000 and, to a lesser extent, proteins with molecular weights of 130,000, 100,000, and 69,000. To correlate the stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation with increased tyrosine kinase activity, cell-free phosphorylation assays were performed. Phosphotyrosine-containing proteins were purified from detergent-solubilized cell lysates by immunoprecipitation with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. The level of tyrosine kinase activity was determined by incorporation of [gamma-32P]ATP into the exogenous substrate histone H2B. IL2 treatment of cells increased H2B phosphorylation 10-fold when compared with nonstimulated cells. Phosphorylation was first detected after 2.5 min of incubation with physiologically relevant (100 pM) IL2 doses. To examine if tyrosine kinase activity was resident within the IL2 receptor complex, cell-free phosphorylation assays were performed with ligand-receptor complexes following cross-linking with IL2 and purification by immunoabsorption with an anti-IL2 antibody. Tyrosine kinase activity was found specifically associated with the IL2 receptor complex. These results indicate that the IL2 receptor complex contains a tyrosine kinase activity that is induced by IL2 binding and suggest that components of the complex may be a substrate of this activity.  相似文献

CD95 tyrosine phosphorylation is required for CD95 oligomerization   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Proapoptotic stimuli, such as CD95 ligand and hydrophobic bile acids induce an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-catalyzed tyrosine phosphorylation of CD95-death receptor in hepatocytes, as a prerequisite for CD95-translocation to the plasma membrane, formation of the death-inducing signalling complex and execution of apoptotic cell death. However, the molecular role played by CD95 tyrosine phosphorylation remained unclear. The present study shows that CD95-tyrosine phosphorylation is required for CD95-oligomerization. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-analysis in Huh7 hepatoma cells, which were cotransfected with CD95-YFP/CD95-CFP revealed that stimulation of these cells with CD95 ligand, proapoptotic bile acids or hyperosmolarity resulted within 30 min in an intracellular FRET-signal, suggestive for CD95/CD95-oligomerization. After 120 min the FRET-signal was detected in the plasma membrane, indicating translocation of the CD95/CD95-oligomer to the plasma membrane. CD95/CD95-oligomerization was abolished in presence of AG1478 or a JNK-inhibitory peptide, i.e. maneuvers known to prevent EGFR-catalyzed CD95-tyrosine phosphorylation. Transfection studies with YFP/CFP-coupled CD95-mutants, which contain tyrosine/phenylalanine-exchanges in positions 232 and 291 (CD95Y232,291F), revealed that at least one tyrosine (Y232,291)-phosphorylated CD95 is required for CD95/CD95-oligomerization. FRET-studies in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, which in contrast to Huh7 express endogenous CD95, revealed that EGF, but not CD95L induced EGFR-homomerization, whereas CD95 ligand, but not EGF resulted in EGFR/CD95-heteromerization. These findings suggest that EGFR-catalyzed CD95-tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in the CD95/CD95-oligomerization process, which is induced by proapoptotic stimuli and is required for apoptosis induction.  相似文献

Proteomics approaches have made important contributions to the characterisation of platelet regulatory mechanisms. A common problem encountered with this method, however, is the masking of low-abundance (e.g. signalling) proteins in complex mixtures by highly abundant proteins. In this study, subcellular fractionation of washed human platelets either inactivated or stimulated with the glycoprotein (GP) VI collagen receptor agonist, collagen-related peptide, reduced the complexity of the platelet proteome. The majority of proteins identified by tandem mass spectrometry are involved in signalling. The effect of GPVI stimulation on levels of specific proteins in subcellular compartments was compared and analysed using in silico quantification, and protein associations were predicted using STRING (the search tool for recurring instances of neighbouring genes/proteins). Interestingly, we observed that some proteins that were previously unidentified in platelets including teneurin-1 and Van Gogh-like protein 1, translocated to the membrane upon GPVI stimulation. Newly identified proteins may be involved in GPVI signalling nodes of importance for haemostasis and thrombosis.  相似文献

Epithelial morphogenesis is critical during development and wound healing, and alterations in this program contribute to neoplasia. Met, the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor, promotes a morphogenic program in epithelial cell lines in matrix cultures. Previous studies have identified Gab1, the major phosphorylated protein following Met activation, as important for the morphogenic response. Gab1 is a docking protein that couples the Met receptor with multiple signaling proteins, including phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, phospholipase Cgamma, the adapter protein Crk, and the tyrosine specific phosphatase SHP-2. HGF induces sustained phosphorylation of Gab1 and sustained activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) in epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. In contrast, epidermal growth factor fails to promote a morphogenic program and induces transient Gab1 phosphorylation and Erk activation. To elucidate the Gab1-dependent signals required for epithelial morphogenesis, we undertook a structure-function approach and demonstrate that association of Gab1 with the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 is required for sustained Erk activation and for epithelial morphogenesis downstream from the Met receptor. Epithelial cells expressing a Gab1 mutant protein unable to recruit SHP-2 elicit a transient activation of Erk in response to HGF. Moreover, SHP-2 catalytic activity is required, since the expression of a catalytically inactive SHP-2 mutant, C/S, abrogates sustained activation of Erk and epithelial morphogenesis by the Met receptor. These data identify SHP-2 as a positive modulator of Erk activity and epithelial morphogenesis downstream from the Met receptor.  相似文献
