Regulation of the insulin receptor kinase by hyperinsulinism 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A murine fibroblast cell line transfected with human insulin receptor cDNA, NIH 3T3 HIR3.5, was observed to display insulin-induced down-regulation of insulin-binding activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Maximal inhibition of insulin-binding activity (54%) occurred within 16 h of exposure to 100 nM insulin in vivo, where in vivo refers to intact cells in tissue culture. The decrease in cellular insulin-binding activity was the consequence of a decrease in the number of cell-associated insulin receptors as determined by Scatchard analysis of insulin binding, 125I-insulin affinity cross-linking, and Western blotting of the insulin receptor beta subunit. Acute insulin treatment in vivo (1-60 min) resulted in the activation of the insulin receptor protein tyrosine kinase as determined by in vitro phosphorylation of glutamic acid:tyrosine (4:1), where in vitro refers to broken cell preparations. This acute in vivo insulin activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase resulted in a greater stimulation (1.4-1.9-fold) of tyrosine kinase activity in the glutamic acid:tyrosine (4:1) assay than the maximal stimulation produced by insulin treatment in vitro. In contrast, long term (24 h) insulin treatment in vivo resulted in a 50-70% decrease in intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptors compared with that of acutely activated (1 min) insulin receptors. Under these conditions, the insulin receptor protein kinase activity remained insulin independent in the in vitro substrate kinase assay. Surprisingly, the insulin-independent activated (1 min in vivo insulin-treated) and uncoupled (24 h in vivo insulin-treated) insulin receptors displayed similar stoichiometries of 32P incorporation into the beta subunit by in vitro autophosphorylation when compared with the control insulin receptors, ranging from 1.5 to 1.8 mol of phosphate incorporated/mol of insulin receptor. Phosphoamino acid analysis demonstrated that the phosphoserine/phosphothreonine content of in vivo 32P-labeled insulin receptors increased markedly within a 1-h exposure to insulin in vivo, whereas insulin-induced receptor desensitization was not apparent until 10-24 h after exposure to insulin. These data suggest that insulin treatment in vivo results initially in the activation of the insulin receptor kinase followed by a subsequent uncoupling of protein kinase activity. This insulin-induced desensitization of the insulin receptor kinase does not correlate with the extent of beta subunit serine/threonine phosphorylation. 相似文献

Collagenase preparations (a mixture of enzymes including collagenase, clostripain, and a casein-degrading protease) degraded the beta subunit (Mr = 95,000) of the purified insulin receptor into fragments of Mr less than 15,000, without degrading the alpha subunit. The resulting beta-digested insulin receptor preparations were found to bind insulin as well as control insulin receptor, as assessed by either cross-linking of 125I-insulin to the digested receptor or by separating insulin bound to receptor from free insulin by high performance liquid chromatography. Moreover, the beta-digested insulin receptor preparations were still precipitated by a monoclonal antibody directed against the insulin-binding site. In contrast, the beta-digested insulin receptor lacked protein kinase activity since it no longer phosphorylated either itself, or an exogenous substrate, calf thymus histone. These results support the identification of the beta subunit of the insulin receptor as a protein kinase. 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
J R Forsayeth A Montemurro B A Maddux R DePirro I D Goldfine 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1987,262(9):4134-4140
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

Our previous studies indicated that amino acid residues 240-250 in the cysteine-rich region of the human insulin receptor alpha-subunit constitute a site in which insulin binds (Yip, C. C., Hsu, H., Patel, R. G., Hawley, D. M., Maddux, B. A., and Goldfine, I. D. (1988) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 157, 321-329). We have now constructed a human insulin receptor mutant in which 3 residues in this sequence were altered (Thr-Cys-Pro-Pro-Pro-Tyr-Tyr-His-Phe-Gln-Asp to Thr-Cys-Pro-Arg-Arg-Tyr-Tyr-Asp-Phe-Gln-Asp) and have expressed this mutant in rat hepatoma (HTC) cells. When compared with cells transfected with normal insulin receptors, cells transfected with mutant receptors had an increase in insulin-binding affinity and a decrease in the dissociation of bound 125I-insulin. Studies using solubilized receptors also demonstrated that mutant receptors had a higher binding affinity than normal receptors. In contrast, cells transfected with either mutant or normal receptors bound monoclonal antibodies against the receptor alpha-subunit with equal affinity. When receptor tyrosine kinase activity and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid uptake were measured, cells transfected with mutant insulin receptors were more sensitive to insulin than cells transfected with normal receptors. These findings lend further support therefore to the hypothesis that amino acid sequence 240-250 of the human insulin receptor alpha-subunit constitutes one site that interacts with insulin, and they indicate that mutations in this site can influence insulin receptor binding and transmembrane signaling. 相似文献

Insulin binds to and promotes the phosphorylation of a Mr 210 000 component of its receptor in detergent extracts of rat liver microsomes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Insulin in the presence of Mn2+ and [gamma 32P]ATP promoted the phosphorylation of two proteins of Mr 95 000 and Mr 210 000 in detergent extracts of rat liver microsomes. The Mr 210 000 protein was identified as a component od the insulin receptor by immunoprecipitation. It also bound [125I]insulin specifically, was phosphorylated largely on a tyrosine residue and could not be cleaved to smaller subunits under extreme reducing conditions. The Mr 210 000 protein appears to be a component of a sub-population of liver membrane insulin receptors in which insulin-binding and insulin-stimulated tyrosine kinase phosphorylation site(s) reside in a single polypeptide chain. 相似文献

The rat liver insulin receptor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Using insulin affinity chromatography, we have isolated highly purified insulin receptor from rat liver. When evaluated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions, the rat liver receptor contained the Mr 125,000 alpha-subunit, the Mr 90,000 beta-subunit, and varying proportions of the Mr 45,000 beta'-subunit. The specific insulin binding of the purified receptor was 25-30 micrograms of 125I-insulin/mg of protein, and the receptor underwent insulin-dependent autophosphorylation. Rat liver and human placental receptors differ from each other in several functional aspects: (1) the adsorption-desorption behavior from four insulin affinity columns indicated that the rat liver receptor binds less firmly to immobilized ligands; (2) the 125I-insulin binding affinity of the rat liver receptor is lower than that of the placental receptor; (3) partial reduction of the rat liver receptor with dithiothreitol increases its insulin binding affinity whereas the binding affinity of the placental receptor is unchanged; (4) at optimal insulin concentration, rat liver receptor autophosphorylation is stimulated 25-50-fold whereas the placental receptor is stimulated only 4-6-fold. Conversion of the beta-subunit to beta' by proteolysis is a major problem that occurs during exposure of the receptor to the pH 5.0 buffer used to elute the insulin affinity column. The rat receptor is particularly subject to destruction. Frequently, we have obtained receptor preparations that did not contain intact beta-subunit. These preparations failed to undergo autophosphorylation, but their insulin binding capacity and binding isotherms were identical with those of receptor containing beta-subunit. Proteolytic destruction and the accompanying loss of insulin-dependent autophosphorylation can be substantially reduced by proteolysis inhibitors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We have recently described the purification and characterization of an insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) from Drosophila melanogaster that can cleave porcine insulin, is highly conserved through evolution and is developmentally regulated. We now report that the IDE is, in fact, an insulin EGF-binding protein (dp100) that we had isolated previously from Drosophila using an antihuman EGF receptor antiserum. This conclusion is based upon the following evidence. (a) dp100, identified by its ability to cross-link to labeled insulin, EGF, and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), and to be immunoprecipitated by anti-EGF receptor antisera, copurifies with the IDE activity. Thus, the purified IDE can be affinity labeled with either 125I-insulin, 125I-EGF, or 125I-TGF-alpha, and this labeling is specifically inhibited with unlabeled insulin, EGF, and the insulin B chain. (b) The antiserum to the human EGF receptor, which recognizes dp100, is able to specifically immunoprecipitate the insulin-degrading activity. (c) The purified IDE preparation contains a single protein of 110 kD which is recognized by both the anti-EGF receptor antiserum and anti-Drosophila IDE antiserum. (d) Polyclonal antiserum to the purified IDE, which specifically recognized only the 110-kD band in Drosophila Kc cells, immunoprecipitates dp100 cross-linked to 125I-TGF-alpha and dp100 cross-linked to 125I-insulin from the purified IDE preparation. (e) EGF, which competes with insulin for binding to dp100, also inhibits the degradation of insulin by the purified IDE. These results raise the possibility that a functional interaction between the insulin and EGF growth factor families can occur which is mediated by the insulin-degrading enzyme. 相似文献

Insulin receptors derived from highly purified rat liver plasma membranes and Golgi membranes showed differences in insulin-mediated receptor autophosphorylation, even though their insulin-binding characteristics were similar. This difference was related to the generation of a Mr-84,000 fragment of the Mr-90,000 beta subunit of the plasma-membrane receptor, a fragment that was not present in the receptor from Golgi membranes, in the absence of a change in the insulin-binding alpha subunit. When autophosphorylation activity was based on insulin binding, the activity of the plasma-membrane-derived insulin receptor was decreased to 25-30% that of the Golgi-derived receptor. Endoglycosidase F digestion produced changes in the Mr values for both species, but they were not converted into a single subunit, thereby suggesting differences in the protein component of the two subunits. Although the proteinase inhibitors phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride, ovomucoid and aprotinin failed to block the formation of the Mr-84,000 fragment, the presence of iodoacetamide or EDTA during liver homogenization markedly inhibited fragment generation and allowed the plasma-membrane insulin receptor to retain an autophosphorylation activity comparable with that present in insulin receptors from Golgi membranes. Thus a thiol-sensitive, cation-dependent, degrading activity has been identified that can uncouple the insulin-binding activity of the plasma-membrane insulin receptor from its tyrosine kinase activity. 相似文献

Analysis of mouse Swiss/3T3 fibroblasts and rat hepatoma H35 cells using the affinity cross-linking method revealed multiple forms of 125I-insulin binding components (Mr greater than 300,000) in the absence of reducing agents. The same analysis, in the presence of reducing agents, revealed two major components (Mr = 125,000 and Mr = 30,000). The Mr = 125,000 component appeared to be the alpha-subunit of the high-affinity insulin receptor, whereas the small insulin-binding component of Mr = 30,000 was not a degradation product of the alpha-subunit but was apparently associated with the insulin receptor. We suggest that it is likely a novel component for regulating the function of insulin receptor. 相似文献

Cytosol extracts high in insulin-degrading activity were cross-linked to 125I-insulin with the bifunctional cross-linker disuccinimidyl suberate. With cytosols from either rat muscle, liver, kidney or brain or human erythrocytes, only a single protein (Mr = 110,000) was specifically labeled. Three different lines of evidence indicated that this labeled protein is insulin-degrading enzyme, a cysteine protease which accounts for most of the insulin-degrading activity in cell extracts. Firstly, the cross-linking of 125I-insulin to this protein is inhibited by unlabeled insulin over the same concentration range of insulin which inhibits degradation. Separated insulin A and B chain were less potent at inhibiting cross-linking, whereas bovine serum albumin and cytochrome c were without effect. Secondly, antibodies to purified insulin-degrading enzyme precipitated the labeled protein in parallel with their ability to precipitate the insulin-degrading activity of the extracts. Thirdly, when the insulin-degrading activity was purified 40,000-fold from erythrocytes, this Mr 110,000 protein co-purified. These results indicate that cross-linking 125I-insulin may be a convenient method for labeling the insulin-degrading enzyme. 相似文献

Insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity is unaltered in ob/ob and db/db mouse skeletal muscle membranes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Insulin binding and insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity were examined in two rodent models with genetic insulin resistance using partially-purified skeletal muscle membrane preparations. Insulin binding activity was decreased about 50% in both 12-week (219 +/- 184 vs 1255 +/- 158 fmoles/mg, p less than 0.01) and 24-week old (2120 +/- 60 vs 1081 +/- 60 fmoles/mg, p less than 0.01) ob/ob mice. In contrast, insulin binding to membrane derived from 24-week old db/db mice was not significantly different from lean controls (1371 +/- 212 vs 1253 +/- 247 fmoles/mg). Insulin-associated tyrosine kinase activity of membranes from ob/ob skeletal muscle was decreased, compared to its normal lean littermate, when compared on a per mg of protein basis in both 12-week (37 +/- 3 vs 21 +/- 3 pmoles/min/mg, p less than 0.05) and 24-week old (71 +/- 5 vs 37 +/- 6 pmoles/min/mg, p less than 0.01) mice. However, no significant differences in kinase activities were observed when the data were normalized and compared on a per fmole of insulin-binding activity basis for the 12-week (12 +/- 1 vs 11 +/- 2) and 24-week (27 +/- 2 vs 20 +/- 3) age groups. Insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity of db/db skeletal muscle membranes was not different than its normal lean littermate whether expressed on a protein (34 +/- 7 vs 30 +/- 3) or fmole of insulin-binding activity (21 +/- 4 vs 18 +/- 4) basis. These data suggest that insulin receptor tyrosine kinase is not associated with the insulin resistance observed in ob/ob and db/db mice and demonstrate differences in receptor regulation between both animal models. 相似文献

Characterization of a novel insulin receptor from stingray liver 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
C A Stuart 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1988,263(16):7881-7886
The insulin receptor from the liver of stingray, a cartilaginous fish, has characteristics which are in marked contrast to those of the mammalian insulin receptor. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cross-linked, affinity-labeled stingray insulin receptor shows an apparent molecular mass of 210 kDa for the intact receptor. Reduction with mercaptoethanol resulted in no alteration in the apparent size of the stingray insulin receptor. Gel filtration studies of Triton X-100 solubilized stingray insulin receptor demonstrated an apparent Stokes radius of 7.6 nm. Ultracentrifugation sucrose gradient studies of cross-linked affinity labeled stingray receptor resulted in determination of a sedimentation coefficient of 13 S. Both of these parameters were greater than simultaneously obtained data for the human insulin receptor (7.2 nm and 11 S, respectively). Unlabeled insulin competed with binding of 125I-insulin and 125I-insulin growth factor (IGF) I with a half-maximal concentration of 1 nM for either. Unlabeled IGF I and II also competed, but were 4-5-fold less potent than insulin. It was found that not only did IGF I bind to the 210-kDa material, but both insulin and IGF I stimulated phosphorylation of a 210-kDa material which was immunoprecipitable by a polyclonal insulin receptor antibody. Elution of this material from the gel followed by hydrolysis and thin layer chromatography demonstrated that the 210-kDa material was specifically phosphorylated on tyrosine only. These data suggest that the insulin receptor from stingray liver is a dimer made up of 2 identical subunits of about 210 kDa size which contain both binding regions and insulin-stimulated tyrosine kinase. Specificity studies suggest that the stingray insulin receptor may represent a phylogenetic position prior to the evolutionary divergence of insulin and the insulin-like growth factors. 相似文献

Insulin binding to rat liver plasma membranes promotes proteolysis of the Mr 135,000 alpha subunit of the insulin receptor to a fragment of Mr 120,000 (Lipson, K. E., Yamada, K., Kolhatkar, A. A., and Donner, D. B. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 10833-10838). The enzyme that catalyzes this degradation copurifies with plasma membranes and cannot be identified in any other cellular organelle or in cytosol. The proteinase has optimal activity above pH 7 and is an integral protein based upon its resistance to extraction with 2 M NaCl. After affinity labeling, degraded insulin receptors were identified in plasma membranes isolated from a liver perfused with 1 nM 125I-insulin for 10 min at 37 degrees C, indicating that proteolysis occurs in the hepatocyte cell membrane under physiological conditions. Microsomes do not contain the receptor degrading activity or a detectable amount of degraded receptors under basal conditions. After perfusion of a liver with 125I-insulin, Mr 135,000 and Mr 120,000 complexes were detected in microsomes, suggesting that both intact and degraded receptors can be internalized. The initial absence of degraded receptors in plasma membranes suggests that, following internalization, such sites do not recycle. Thus, hormone-induced proteolysis of the insulin receptor begins at the surface of the rat hepatocyte and can lead to loss of receptors from the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor alpha in various tissues of insulin-resistant obese Koletsky rats: relations to insulin receptor characteristics. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A Hrebícek M Rypka Z Chmela J Vesely M Kantorová V Golda 《Physiological research / Academia Scientiarum Bohemoslovaca》1999,48(1):83-86
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) was found to be significantly increased in skeletal muscles and retroperitoneal fat of obese insulin-resistant Koletsky rats as compared to control Wistar rats. This increase was accompanied by a depression of insulin receptor protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity. Neither the insulin-binding capacity nor insulin receptor affinity were related to this TNFalpha increase in these tissues. In the liver, no significant changes of TNFalpha content and only a lowering of insulin-binding capacity were found. It is concluded that an increased TNFalpha content in muscles and fat (but not in the liver) contributes to insulin resistance by lowering insulin receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity, while other insulin receptor characteristics (insulin-binding capacity and affinity of insulin receptors to the hormone) do not seem to be influenced by this factor. 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

The purified human placental alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric insulin receptor complex was reduced and dissociated into functional alpha beta heterodimers by a combination of alkaline pH and dithiothreitol treatment. Insulin treatment of the isolated alpha beta heterodimeric complex was observed to induce the complete reassociation to an alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric state when analyzed by nondenaturing Bio-Gel A-1.5m gel filtration chromatography. Nonreducing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of 125I-insulin affinity cross-linked and 32P-autophosphorylated alpha beta heterodimers demonstrated that the insulin-dependent reassociation to the alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric state occurred both covalently and noncovalently under these conditions. Comparison by reducing and nonreducing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that the insulin-dependent covalent reassociation to an alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric complex was due to the formation of a disulfide linkage(s) between the alpha beta heterodimers. beta subunit autophosphorylation of the control alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric insulin receptor preparation was maximally stimulated within 5 min of insulin preincubation and occurred exclusively in the Mr = 400,000 alpha 2 beta 2 complex. Similarly, maximal insulin-stimulated beta subunit autophosphorylation of the alpha beta heterodimeric preparation occurred within 5 min of insulin pretreatment in the Mr = 210,000 alpha beta complex. However, 4 h of insulin pretreatment of the alpha beta heterodimer preparation induced the formation (6-fold) of a covalent 32P-labeled alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric complex. Maximal stimulation of substrate phosphorylation for the alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric complex was also observed to occur within 5 min of insulin treatment, whereas maximal insulin-stimulated substrate phosphorylation of the alpha beta heterodimeric complex required greater than 4 h. These data demonstrate that (i) insulin treatment can induce the reassociation of the alpha beta heterodimeric complex into a covalent alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric state, and (ii) insulin-dependent protein kinase activation of the alpha beta heterodimeric insulin receptor correlates with the covalent reassociation into a disulfide-linked alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric complex. 相似文献

The insulin-receptor cycle was investigated in cultured foetal rat hepatocytes by determining the variations in insulin-binding sites at the cell surface after short exposure to the hormone. Binding of 125I-insulin was measured at 4 degrees C after dissociation of prebound native insulin. Two protocols were used: exchange binding assay and binding after acid treatment; both gave the same results. Cell-surface 125I-insulin-receptor binding decreased sharply (by 40%) during the first 5 min of 10 nM-insulin exposure (t1/2 = 2 min) and remained practically constant thereafter; subsequent removal of the hormone restored the initial binding within 10 min. This fall-rise sequence corresponded to variations in the number of insulin receptors at the cell surface, with no detectable change in receptor affinity. The reversible translocation of insulin receptors from the cell surface to a compartment not accessible to insulin at 4 degrees C was hormone-concentration- and temperature-dependent. SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis after cross-linking of bound 125I-insulin to cell-surface proteins with disuccinimidyl suberate showed that these variations were not associated with changes in Mr of binding components, in particular for the major labelled band of Mr 130,000. The insulin-receptor cycle could be repeated after intermittent exposure to insulin. Continuous or intermittent exposure to the hormone gave a similar glycogenic response, contrary to the partial effect of a unique short (5-20 min) exposure. A relationship could be established between the repetitive character of the rapid insulin-receptor cycle and the maximal expression of the biological effect in cultured foetal hepatocytes. 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
