Insulin signals are mediated through tyrosine phosphorylation of specific proteins such as insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and Shc by the activated insulin receptor (IR). Phosphorylation of both proteins is nearly abolished by an alanine substitution at Tyr-960 (A960) in the beta-subunit of the receptor. However, overexpression of IRS-1 in CHO cells expressing the mutant receptor (A960 cells) restored sufficient tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 to rescue IRS-1/Grb-2 binding and phosphatidylinositol 3' kinase activation during insulin stimulation. Shc tyrosine phosphorylation and its binding to Grb-2 were impaired in the A960 cells and were unaffected by overexpression of IRS-1. Although overexpression of IRS-1 increased IRS-1 binding to Grb-2, ERK-1/ERK-2 activation was not rescued. These data suggest that signaling molecules other than IRS-1, perhaps including Shc, are critical for insulin stimulation of p21ras. Interestingly, overexpression of IRS-1 in the A960 cells restored insulin-stimulated mitogenesis and partially restored insulin stimulation of glycogen synthesis. Thus, IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation is sufficient to increase the mitogenic response to insulin, whereas insulin stimulation of glycogen synthesis appears to involve other factors. Moreover, IRS-1 phosphorylation is either not sufficient or not involved in insulin stimulation of ERK.

The activated platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor physically associates with p85, a subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. Although this interaction may activate phosphatidylinositol-kinase and is crucial for PDGF-induced mitogenesis, it has not been shown whether p85 is modified in the process. p85 contains two SH2 (Src homology) domains, designated SH2-N and SH2-C. Recent experiments have shown that the SH2-C domain alone determines high-affinity binding of p85 to the PDGF receptor. The function of SH2-N, which binds receptors with lower affinity, is unknown. In this study, using a receptor-blotting technique, we find that p85 is modified by PDGF stimulation of intact cells. This modification involves inhibition of binding of the SH2-N region of p85 to the PDGF receptor. Studies with vanadate suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 is responsible for the modification of p85 detected by receptor blotting. Furthermore, recombinant p85 is modified in a similar manner when it is tyrosine phosphorylated in vitro by PDGF receptors. Tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 does not block binding of the SH2-C domain and therefore does not release p85 from high-affinity binding sites on the receptor in vitro. Instead, phosphorylation may regulate the ability of the SH2-N of p85 to bind to a different portion of the PDGF receptor or to another molecule in the signaling complex. This study provides the first evidence that p85 is tyrosine phosphorylated upon PDGF stimulation of cells and suggests that tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 regulates its activity or its interaction with other proteins.

We found that stimulation of density-inhibited chicken embryo fibroblasts with serum, epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor, (PDGF), or multiplication-stimulating activity (MSA) leads to an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins in the region of Mr 40,000 (40K) to 42K. The increase in tyrosine phosphorylation after serum or EGF stimulation was transient, reaching a maximum at about 5 min and then declining. By fine-resolution analysis of proteins separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, we found that after EGF stimulation, the major increase in phosphotyrosine content was in a 42K Mr protein, with a smaller increase in a 40K Mr protein. The increased phosphorylation in the 40K to 42K Mr region accounted for almost all of the increase in phosphotyrosine observed in these cells. These phosphotyrosine-containing proteins were different from the major phosphotyrosine-containing protein of Rous sarcoma virus-transformed chicken embryo fibroblasts, which migrates at an approximate Mr of 36K. Increased tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins of similar Mr was found in 3T3 cells treated with EGF, but not in NR-6 cells, which lack detectable EGF receptors. It is possible that the 40K to 42K Mr phosphotyrosine-containing proteins are involved in the integration of the biological response to a number of different growth factors.

The interaction of cells with components of the extracellular matrix through their integrin receptors results in the stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, suggesting that these receptors play a key role in signal transduction. Here we report that antibody-mediated ligation and clustering of alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 1/alpha 6 beta 4 integrins resulted in the stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins that are specific for each heterodimer. Thus, ligation and clustering of the alpha 3 beta 1 integrin on human prostate carcinoma cells (PC-3) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) with anti-alpha 3 antibodies resulted in the stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of a 55 kDa protein. In contrast, ligation and clustering of the alpha 6 beta 1 integrin on these cells with anti-alpha 6 antibody resulted in the dramatic stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of a 90 kDa protein in addition to a 52 kDa protein, and ligation and clustering of alpha 5 beta 1 on HUVEC did not result in the apparent stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of any proteins. Clustering with anti-beta 1 antibodies triggered the tyrosine phosphorylation of all of these proteins, whereas ligation and clustering of PC-3 cells with an anti-beta 4 antibody resulted in the tyrosine phosphorylation of a distinct 62 kDa protein. Since the PC-3 cells express both alpha 6 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 4, these data suggest that these two receptors can transduce distinct signals. All of the phosphorylations could be inhibited by treating the cells with Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Antibody-mediated ligation and clustering of integrins on the two types of cells did not result in the stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of pp125 focal adhesion kinase, although this was observed upon cell attachment and spreading on fibronectin, laminin and anti-alpha 3 monoclonal antibody. Collectively, these data demonstrate that cross-linking of different integrin heterodimers can stimulate tyrosine kinase activities, leading to the phosphorylation of distinct proteins, which are also different from those observed when cells are allowed to spread on a matrix.
