Ligand stimulation of PDGF beta-receptors leads to autophosphorylation of the regulatory tyrosine 857 and of tyrosine residues that in their phosphorylated form serve as docking sites for Src homology 2 domain-containing proteins. Regulation of the PDGF beta-receptor by protein-tyrosine phosphatases is poorly understood. We have investigated PDGF beta-receptor dephosphorylation by receptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatase DEP-1 using a cell line with inducible DEP-1 expression and by characterizing in vitro dephosphorylation of the PDGF beta-receptor and of receptor-derived phosphopeptides by DEP-1. After DEP-1 induction PDGF beta-receptor.DEP-1 complexes and reduced receptor tyrosine phosphorylation were observed. Phosphopeptide analysis of the PDGF beta-receptors from DEP-1-expressing cells and of the receptors dephosphorylated in vitro by DEP-1 demonstrated that dephosphorylation of autophosphorylation sites of the receptor differed and revealed that the regulatory Tyr(P)(857) was not a preferred site for DEP-1 dephosphorylation. When dephosphorylation of synthetic receptor-derived peptides was analyzed, the selectivity was reproduced, indicating that amino acid sequence surrounding the phosphorylation sites is the major determinant of selectivity. This notion is supported by the observation that the poorly dephosphorylated Tyr(P)(562) and Tyr(P)(857), in contrast to other analyzed phosphorylation sites, are surrounded by basic amino acid residues at positions -4 and +3 relative to the tyrosine residue. Our study demonstrates that DEP-1 dephosphorylation of the PDGF beta-receptor is site-selective and may lead to modulation, rather than general attenuation, of signaling.  相似文献

We determined the substrate specificities of the protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) PTP1B, RPTPα, SHP-1, and SHP-2 by on-bead screening of combinatorial peptide libraries and solution-phase kinetic analysis of individually synthesized phosphotyrosyl (pY) peptides. These PTPs exhibit different levels of sequence specificity and catalytic efficiency. The catalytic domain of RPTPα has very weak sequence specificity and is approximately 2 orders of magnitude less active than the other three PTPs. The PTP1B catalytic domain has modest preference for acidic residues on both sides of pY, is highly active toward multiply phosphorylated peptides, but disfavors basic residues at any position, a Gly at the pY-1 position, or a Pro at the pY+1 position. By contrast, SHP-1 and SHP-2 share similar but much narrower substrate specificities, with a strong preference for acidic and aromatic hydrophobic amino acids on both sides of the pY residue. An efficient SHP-1/2 substrate generally contains two or more acidic residues on the N-terminal side and one or more acidic residues on the C-terminal side of pY but no basic residues. Subtle differences exist between SHP-1 and SHP-2 in that SHP-1 has a stronger preference for acidic residues at the pY-1 and pY+1 positions and the two SHPs prefer acidic residues at different positions N-terminal to pY. A survey of the known protein substrates of PTP1B, SHP-1, and SHP-2 shows an excellent agreement between the in vivo dephosphorylation pattern and the in vitro specificity profiles derived from library screening. These results suggest that different PTPs have distinct sequence specificity profiles and the intrinsic activity/specificity of the PTP domain is an important determinant of the enzyme's in vivo substrate specificity.  相似文献

An autophosphorylation site in the activated insulin receptor tyrosine kinase domain has three tyrosines phosphorylated when fully activated. To begin to examine recognition of triphosphotyrosyl sites by protein tyrosine phosphatases in possible control of signal transduction a triphosphotyrosyl dodecapeptide TRDIpYETDpYpYRK corresponding to residues 1,142-1,153 of the insulin receptor was prepared and incubated with the 40-kDa catalytic domain of the human PTPase LAR. To assess regioselectivity of recognition, the three diphosphotyrosyl regioisomers, and the three monophosphotyrosyl regioisomers were prepared and assayed. All seven peptides were PTPase substrates. To identify any preferences in dephosphorylation at pY5, pY9, or pY10, 1H-NMR analyses were conducted during enzyme incubations and distinguishing fingerprint regions determined for each of the seven phosphotyrosyl peptides. LAR PTPase shows strong preference for dephosphorylation first at pY5 (at tri-, di-, and monophosphotyrosyl levels). Initially this regioselectivity gives the Y5(pY9)(pY10) diphospho regioisomer, followed by equal dephosphorylation at pY9 or pY10 to give the corresponding monophosphoryl species on the way to fully dephosphorylated product. The NMR methodology is applicable to other peptides with multiple sites of phosphorylation that undergo attack by any phosphatase.  相似文献

Ligand binding to the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor leads to increased receptor tyrosine phosphorylation as a consequence of dimerization-induced activation of the intrinsic receptor tyrosine kinase activity. In this study we asked whether ligand-stimulated PDGF beta-receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, to some extent, also involved reduced susceptibility to tyrosine dephosphorylation. To investigate this possibility we compared the sensitivity of ligand-stimulated and non-stimulated forms of tyrosine-phosphorylated PDGF beta-receptors to dephosphorylation using various preparations containing protein-tyrosine phosphatase activity. Ligand-stimulated or unstimulated tyrosine-phosphorylated receptors were obtained after incubation of cells with pervanadate only or pervanadate, together with PDGF-BB, respectively. Dephosphorylation of receptors immobilized on wheat germ agglutinin-Sepharose, as well as of receptors in intact cell membranes, was investigated under conditions when rephosphorylation did not occur. As compared with unstimulated receptors the ligand-stimulated PDGF beta-receptors showed about 10-fold reduced sensitivity to dephosphorylation by cell membranes, a recombinant form of the catalytic domain of density-enhanced phosphatase-1, or recombinant protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B. We conclude that ligand-stimulated forms of the PDGF beta-receptor display a reduced susceptibility to dephosphorylation. Our findings suggest a novel mechanism whereby ligand stimulation of PDGF beta-receptor, and possibly other tyrosine kinase receptors, leads to a net increase in receptor tyrosine phosphorylation.  相似文献

Synthetic peptides derived from the sequence surrounding tyrosine-857 in the human platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor were used to elucidate the requirement for length and presence of negative and positively charged amino acids in substrates of the PDGF beta-receptor protein tyrosine kinase. The measured Km for the different peptides were all in the range 1-10 mM. A peptide of only five amino acids, lacking acidic amino acid residues, were found to be substrates for the receptor kinase. Ligand binding was found to stimulate the phosphorylation of peptides mainly by lowering the Km both for peptide and for ATP. Only minor changes in the Vmax occurred upon stimulation with PDGF. The reaction mechanism was found to be sequential, i.e. both the peptide and ATP have to bind to the enzyme before any product is released.  相似文献

Two novel sites of autophosphorylation were localized to the C-terminal tail of the PDGF beta-receptor. To evaluate the importance of these phosphorylation sites, receptor mutants in which Tyr1009, Tyr1021 or both were replaced with phenylalanine residues, were expressed in porcine aortic endothelial (PAE) cells. These mutants were similar to the wild type receptor with regard to protein tyrosine kinase activity and ability to induce mitogenicity in response to PDGF-BB. However, both the Y1009F and Y1021F mutants showed a decreased ability to mediate association with and the tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) compared to the wild type PDGF beta-receptor; in the case of the Y1009F/Y1021F double mutant, no association or phosphorylation of PLC-gamma could be detected. These data show that tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma is dependent on autophosphorylation of the PDGF beta-receptor at Tyr1009 and Tyr1021.  相似文献

Autophosphorylation sites of growth factor receptors with tyrosine kinase activity function as specific binding sites for Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of signaling molecules. This interaction appears to be a crucial step in a mechanism by which receptor tyrosine kinases relay signals to downstream signaling pathways. Nck is a widely expressed protein consisting exclusively of SH2 and SH3 domains, the overexpression of which causes cell transformation. It has been shown that various growth factors stimulate the phosphorylation of Nck and its association with autophosphorylated growth factor receptors. A panel of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor mutations at tyrosine residues has been used to identify the Nck binding site. Here we show that mutation at Tyr-751 of the PDGF beta-receptor eliminates Nck binding both in vitro and in living cells. Moreover, the Y751F PDGF receptor mutant failed to mediate PDGF-stimulated phosphorylation of Nck in intact cells. A phosphorylated Tyr-751 is also required for binding of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase to the PDGF receptor. Hence, the SH2 domains of p85 and Nck share a binding site in the PDGF receptor. Competition experiments with different phosphopeptides derived from the PDGF receptor suggest that binding of Nck and p85 is influenced by different residues around Tyr-751. Thus, a single tyrosine autophosphorylation site is able to link the PDGF receptor to two distinct SH2 domain-containing signaling molecules.  相似文献

PDGF and TNF-alpha are both known to play important roles in inflammation, albeit frequently by opposing actions. Typically, TNF-alpha can attenuate PDGF beta-receptor signaling. Pretreatment of mouse 3T3 L1 fibroblasts with TNF-alpha greatly diminished their proliferative response to PDGF. However, TNF-alpha affected neither the binding of PDGF-BB to cell surface receptors nor the total amount of PDGF beta-receptor in the cells, but decreased the PDGF-induced in vitro kinase activity of the receptor. The phosphatase inhibitor ortho-vanadate did not prevent this effect. Ortho-phosphate labeling of cells prior to TNF-alpha treatment and PDGF-BB stimulation confirmed a decrease of in vivo phosphorylation of the PDGF beta-receptor. Two-dimensional mapping after tryptic cleavage as well as phosphoamino acid analysis demonstrated a general decrease in phosphorylation of all known tyrosine residues in the PDGF beta-receptor. The exact mechanism for this suppression remains to be clarified.  相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are a large family of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolytic removal of the phosphoryl group from phosphotyrosyl (pY) proteins. In this work, we have developed a novel combinatorial library method, termed "enzyme-catalyzed loss of isotope peak signal enhancement (ECLIPSE)", to determine the substrate specificity of PTPs. This method involves partial labeling of pY at a nonbridging phosphate oxygen atom with 50% (18)O ((16)O/(18)O = 1:1). A 361-member solution-phase peptide library with randomization at the -1 and -2 positions (relative to pY), RNNXXpYA-NH(2) (X = 19 alpha-amino acids except for Cys), was synthesized with the partially (18)O-labeled pY by the split-synthesis method. Each member of the resulting pY peptide library appeared as a doublet peak in the mass spectrum (m/z m and m + 2.0043). Limited treatment of the library with a PTP removed the mass-degenerate phosphoryl group from the most preferred substrates to generate products as singlet peaks, which were readily identified and sequenced by tandem mass spectrometry. Screening of the pY library against the catalytic domain of SHP-1 revealed that SHP-1 prefers an acidic residue at the -2 position, with aspartic acid being slightly better than glutamic acid. At the -1 position, SHP-1 also prefers an acidic residue, although a variety of other amino acids are also tolerated. On the other hand, positively charged residues at these positions render the corresponding peptides very poor substrates of SHP-1. Several selected peptides were individually synthesized and assayed against SHP-1, and the kinetic data confirmed the screening results. These results demonstrate that ECLIPSE is a viable method for studying the substrate specificity of PTPs.  相似文献

Functional inactivation of the protein tyrosine phosphatase DEP-1 leads to increased endothelial cell proliferation and failure of vessels to remodel and branch. DEP-1 has also been proposed to contribute to the contact inhibition of endothelial cell growth via dephosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), a mediator of vascular development. However, how DEP-1 regulates VEGF-dependent signaling and biological responses remains ill-defined. We show here that DEP-1 targets tyrosine residues in the VEGFR2 kinase activation loop. Consequently, depletion of DEP-1 results in the increased phosphorylation of all major VEGFR2 autophosphorylation sites, but surprisingly, not in the overall stimulation of VEGF-dependent signaling. The increased phosphorylation of Src on Y529 under these conditions results in impaired Src and Akt activation. This inhibition is similarly observed upon expression of catalytically inactive DEP-1, and coexpression of an active Src-Y529F mutant rescues Akt activation. Reduced Src activity correlates with decreased phosphorylation of Gab1, an adapter protein involved in VEGF-dependent Akt activation. Hypophosphorylated Gab1 is unable to fully associate with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, VEGFR2, and VE-cadherin complexes, leading to suboptimal Akt activation and increased cell death. Overall, our results reveal that despite its negative role on global VEGFR2 phosphorylation, DEP-1 is a positive regulator of VEGF-mediated Src and Akt activation and endothelial cell survival.  相似文献

A combinatorial phosphotyrosyl (pY) peptide library was screened to determine the amino acid preferences at the pY+4 to pY+6 positions for the four SH2 domains of protein-tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2. Individual binding sequences selected from the library were resynthesized and their binding affinities and specificities to various SH2 domains were further evaluated by SPR studies, stimulation of SHP-1 and SHP-2 phosphatase activity, and in vitro pulldown assays. These studies reveal that binding of a pY peptide to the N-SH2 domain of SHP-2 is greatly enhanced by a large hydrophobic residue (Trp, Tyr, Met, or Phe) at the pY+4 and/or pY+5 positions, whereas binding to SHP-1 N-SH2 domain is enhanced by either hydrophobic or positively charged residues (Arg, Lys, or His) at these positions. Similar residues at the pY+4 to pY+6 positions are also preferred by SHP-1 and SHP-2 C-SH2 domains, although their influence on the overall binding affinities is much smaller compared with the N-SH2 domains. A structural model was generated to qualitatively interpret the contribution of the pY+4 and pY+5 residues to the overall binding affinity. Examination of pY motifs from known SHP-1 and SHP-2-binding proteins shows that many of the pY motifs contain a hydrophobic or positively charged residue(s) at the pY+4 and pY+5 positions.  相似文献

The receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) DEP-1 (CD148/PTP-eta) has been implicated in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and transformation, and most recently has been identified as a potential tumor suppressor gene mutated in colon, lung, and breast cancers. We have generated constructs comprising the cytoplasmic segment of DEP-1 fused to the maltose-binding protein to identify potential substrates and thereby suggest a physiological function for DEP-1. We have shown that the substrate-trapping mutant form of DEP-1 interacted with a small subset of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins from lysates of the human breast tumor cell lines MDA-MB-231, T-47D, and T-47D/Met and have identified the hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor receptor Met, the adapter protein Gab1, and the junctional component p120 catenin as potential substrates. Following ligand stimulation, phosphorylation of specific tyrosyl residues in Met induces mitogenic, motogenic, and morphogenic responses. When co-expressed in 293 cells, the full-length substrate-trapping mutant form of DEP-1 formed a stable complex with the chimeric receptor colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF)-Met and wild type DEP-1 dephosphorylated CSF-Met. Furthermore, we observed that DEP-1 preferentially dephosphorylated a Gab1 binding site (Tyr(1349)) and a COOH-terminal tyrosine implicated in morphogenesis (Tyr(1365)), whereas tyrosine residues in the activation loop of Met (Tyr(1230), Tyr(1234), and Tyr(1235)) were not preferred targets of the PTP. The ability of DEP-1 preferentially to dephosphorylate particular tyrosine residues that are required for Met-induced signaling suggests that DEP-1 may function in controlling the specificity of signals induced by this PTK, rather than as a simple "off-switch" to counteract PTK activity.  相似文献

The platelet-derived growth factor beta receptor (betaPDGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in multiple aspects of cell growth and differentiation. Upon activation, betaPDGFR is phosphorylated at up to nine different tyrosine residues. Phosphorylation of the receptor results in at least two different outcomes: recruitment of signaling molecules and activation of intrinsic receptor kinase activity. In order to evaluate the phosphorylation state of the receptor, phosphospecific antibodies were generated against peptides encompassing betaPDGFR phospho-Y751, phospho-Y771, or phospho-Y857. When phosphorylated, these sites enable the receptor to recruit signaling molecules PI3K or RasGAP, or enhance the receptor's kinase activity, respectively. We found that receptors phosphorylated at Y751, Y771, and Y857 display distinct temporal and spatial distribution by immunofluorescence. Subsequent biochemical studies revealed that receptor function corresponding to each of the phosphorylated sites was regulated as a function of time. Within the first 10 min, PDGF enhanced the receptor's kinase activity and initiated recruitment of PI3K and RasGAP. After prolonged exposure to PDGF, PI3K binding persisted to approximately 85% of the amount bound at 10 min, whereas binding of RasGAP and the exogenous kinase activity of the receptor diminished to less than 15% of the levels displayed at 10 min. We conclude that the phosphorylation state of the receptor, as well as its signaling capacity, is dynamic and changes as cells are continuously exposed to PDGF.  相似文献

Ligand stimulation of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor leads to activation of its intrinsic tyrosine kinase and autophosphorylation of the intracellular part of the receptor. The autophosphorylated tyrosine residues mediate interactions with downstream signal transduction molecules and thereby initiate different signalling pathways. A pathway leading to activation of the GTP-binding protein Ras involves the adaptor molecule GRB2. Here we show that Tyr-716, a novel autophosphorylation site in the PDGF beta-receptor kinase insert, mediates direct binding of GRB2 in vitro and in vivo. In a panel of mutant PDGF beta-receptors, in which Tyr-716 and the previously known autophosphorylation sites were individually mutated, only PDGFR beta Y716F failed to bind GRB2. Furthermore, a synthetic phosphorylated peptide containing Tyr-716 bound GRB2, and this peptide specifically interrupted the interaction between GRB2 and the wild-type receptor. In addition, the Y716(P) peptide significantly decreased the amount of GTP bound to Ras in response to PDGF in permeabilized fibroblasts as well as in porcine aortic endothelial cells expressing transfected PDGF beta-receptors. The mutant PDGFR beta Y716F still mediated activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and an increased DNA synthesis in response to PDGF, indicating that multiple signal transduction pathways transduce mitogenic signals from the activated PDGF beta-receptor.  相似文献

We have examined the interaction between the serine/threonine kinase proto-oncogene product Raf-1 and the tyrosine kinase PDGF beta-receptor. Raf-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and kinase activity were increased by PDGF treatment of 3T3 cells or CHO cells expressing wild-type PDGF receptors but not mutant receptors defective in transmitting mitogenic signals, suggesting that the increase in Raf-1 kinase activity is a significant event in PDGF-induced mitogenesis. Concurrent with these increases, Raf-1 associated with the ligand-activated PDGF receptor. Furthermore, both mammalian Raf-1 and Raf-1 expressed using a recombinant baculoviral vector, associated in vitro with baculoviral-expressed PDGF receptor. This association was markedly decreased by prior phosphatase treatment of the receptor. Following incubation of partially purified baculoviral-expressed PDGF receptor with partially purified Raf-1, Raf-1 became phosphorylated on tyrosine and its serine/threonine kinase activity increased 4- to 6-fold. This is the first demonstration of the direct modulation of a protein activity by a growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase.  相似文献

We identified the major autophosphorylation sites in the insulin receptor and correlated their phosphorylation with the phosphotransferase activity of the receptor on synthetic peptides. The receptor, purified from Fao hepatoma cells on immobilized wheat germ agglutinin, undergoes autophosphorylation at several tyrosine residues in its beta-subunit; however, anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (alpha-PY) inhibited most of the phosphorylation by trapping the initial sites in an inactive complex. Exhaustive trypsin digestion of the inhibited beta-subunit yielded two peptides derived from the Tyr-1150 domain (Ullrich, A, Bell, J. R., Chen, E. Y., Herrera, R., Petruzzelli, L. M., Dull, T. J., Gray, A., Coussens, L., Liao, Y.-C., Tsubokawa, M., Mason, A., Seeburg, P. H., Grunfeld, C., Rosen, O. M., and Ramachandran, J. (1985) Nature 313, 756-761) called pY4 and pY5. Both peptides contained 2 phosphotyrosyl residues (2Tyr(P], one corresponding to Tyr-1146 and the other to Tyr-1150 or Tyr-1151. In the absence of the alpha-PY additional sites were phosphorylated. The C-terminal domain of the beta-subunit contained phosphotyrosine at Tyr-1316 and Tyr-1322. Removal of the C-terminal domain by mild trypsinolysis did not affect the phosphotransferase activity of the beta-subunit suggesting that these sites did not play a regulatory role. Full activation of the insulin receptor during in vitro assay correlated with the appearance of two phosphopeptides in the tryptic digest of the beta-subunit, pY1 and pY1a, that were inhibited by the alpha-PY. Structural analysis suggested that pY1 and pY1a were derived from the Tyr-1150 domain and contained 3 phosphotyrosyl residues (3Tyr(P] corresponding to Tyr-1146, Tyr-1150, and Tyr-1151. The phosphotransferase of the receptor that was phosphorylated in the presence of alpha-PY at 2 tyrosyl residues in the Tyr-1150 domain was not fully activated during kinase assays carried out with saturating substrate concentrations which inhibited further autophosphorylation. During insulin stimulation of the intact cell, the 3Tyr(P) form of the Tyr-1150 domain was barely detected, whereas the 2Tyr(P) form predominated. We conclude that 1) autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor begins by phosphorylation of Tyr-1146 and either Tyr-1150 or Tyr-1151; 2) progression of the cascade to phosphorylation of the third tyrosyl residue fully activates the phosphotransferase during in vitro assay; 3) in vivo, the 2Tyr(P) form predominates, suggesting that progression of the autophosphorylation cascade to the 3Tyr(P) form is regulated during insulin stimulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Activation of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors occurs through ligand-induced dimerization and autophosphorylation. In this study, we investigated the effects of mutation of tyrosine residue 857 (Y857) in the activation loop of the PDGF β-receptor (PDGFRβ) to phenylalanine (Y857F). In agreement with previous observations, we found that PDGFRβY857F had a severely diminished in vitro kinase activity. However, in vivo the overall amount of tyrosine phosphorylation of PDGFRβY857F was similar to that of the wild-type receptor, except for the tyrosine residue 771 (Y771) which displayed a stronger phosphorylation in the mutant receptor. Analysis of the ability to induce signal transduction revealed that the PDGFRβY857F mutant had an attenuated activation of Akt and Erk1/2 MAP kinase. In contrast, the mutant receptor efficiently mediated phosphorylation of the ubiquitin-ligase c-Cbl that participates in receptor internalization and degradation, and PLCγ which has previously been shown to be connected with various cellular responses, including migration. However, the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2, implicated in the PDGF-induced mitogenic response, together with the adaptor proteins Alix and Stam, involved in intracellular sorting of receptor, was not phosphorylated in cells expressing PDGFRβY857F. We found that both receptor variants were internalized from the cell surface and degraded at a comparable rate. Interestingly, PDGFRβY857F was unable to mediate PDGF-BB-induced mitogenic signaling, whereas it could elicit a chemotactic response.  相似文献

SH2 domains are protein modules which bind tyrosine phosphorylated sequences in many signaling pathways. These domains contain two regions with specialized functions: residues in one region form a deep pocket into which the phosphotyrosine of the target inserts, while the other region contains the so-called "specificity determining residues" which interact with the three residues C-terminal to the phosphotyrosine in the target. Here, titration calorimetry and site-directed mutagenesis have been used to probe the importance of eight specificity determining residues of the SH2 domain of the Src kinase involved in contacts with its tyrosine phosphorylated consensus peptide target (sequence pYEEI where pY indicates a phosphotyrosine). Mutating six of these eight residues to Ala individually, resulted in a threefold or less loss in binding affinity; hence the majority of the residues in the specificity determining region are by themselves of minimal importance for binding. Two residues were found to have significant effects on binding: Tyr betaD5 and Lys betaD3. Tyr betaD5 was the most crucial residue as evidenced by the 30-fold loss in affinity when Tyr betaD5 is mutated to Ile. However, while this mutation eliminated the specificity of the Src SH2 domain for the pYEEI peptide sequence, it was not sufficient to switch the specificity of the Src SH2 domain to that of a related SH2 domain which has an Ile at the betaD5 position. Mutation of Lys betaD3 to an Ala residue resulted in a modest reduction in binding affinity (sevenfold). It is interesting that this mutation resulted in a change of specificity affecting the selection of the +1 position residue C-terminal to the phosphotyrosine. Except for the Lys betaD3-+1 Glu interaction which is significantly coupled, only weak energetic coupling was observed across the binding interface, as assessed using double mutant cycles. The results of this study suggest that interactions involving the specificity determining region of SH2 domains may be insufficient by themselves to target single SH2 domains to particular phosphorylated sites.  相似文献

Two novel sites of autophosphorylation were localized to the juxtamembrane segment of the human platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor. To evaluate the importance of these phosphorylation sites, receptor mutants were made in which Tyr579, Tyr581 or both were replaced with phenylalanine residues; the receptor mutants were stably expressed in porcine aortic endothelial cells. Compared with the wild-type receptor, the Y579F and Y581F mutants were less able to mediate association with and activation of the Src family tyrosine kinases. The ability of these phosphorylation sites to mediate directly the binding of the Src family proteins was also demonstrated by using phosphotyrosine-containing synthetic peptides representing the juxtamembrane sequence of the receptor. Both the Y579F and Y581F mutants were similar to the wild-type receptor with regard to their protein tyrosine kinase activity and ability to induce mitogenicity in response to PDGF-BB. A conclusive evaluation of the role of the Src family members in signal transduction could, however, not be made since our attempt to prevent completely the association by mutation of both Tyr579 and Tyr581, resulted in loss of kinase activity and was therefore not informative. The present data, together with previous observations, demonstrate a high degree of specificity in the interaction between different autophosphorylation sites in the PDGF beta-receptor and downstream components in the signal transduction pathway.  相似文献
