Phosphorylation of pp60c-src at Tyr-527, six residues from the carboxy terminus, has been implicated in regulation of the protein-tyrosine kinase activity of pp60c-src. Here we show that dephosphorylation of pp60c-src by phosphatase treatment in vitro caused a 10- to 20-fold increase in pp60c-src protein-tyrosine kinase activity. Binding of specific antibody to the region of pp60c-src which contains phosphotyrosine-527 also increased kinase activity. Each treatment increased phosphorylation of added substrates and of Tyr-416 within pp60c-src by a similar mechanism that involved altered interactions with ATP and increased catalytic rate. We suggest that the phosphorylated carboxy terminus acts as an inhibitor of the protein kinase domain of pp60c-src, unless its conformation is altered by either dephosphorylation or antibody binding. The antibody additionally stimulated the phosphorylation of forms of pp60c-src that had reduced gel mobility, much like those phosphorylated in kinase reactions containing pp60c-src activated by polyomavirus medium tumor antigen. These in vitro experiments provide models for the activation of pp60c-src in cells transformed by polyomavirus. We also show that autophosphorylation of pp60c-src at Tyr-527 occurs only to a very limited extent in vitro, even when Tyr-527 is made available for phosphorylation by treatment with phosphatase. This suggests that other protein-tyrosine kinases may normally phosphorylate Tyr-527 and regulate pp60c-src in the cell.

A miniature tyrosinase-based electrochemical sensing platform for label-free detection of protein tyrosine kinase activity was developed in this study. The developed miniature sensing platform can detect the substrate peptides for tyrosine kinases, such as c-Src, Hck and Her2, in a low sample volume (1–2 μL). The developed sensing platform exhibited a high reproducibility for repetitive measurement with an RSD (relative standard deviation) of 6.6%. The developed sensing platform can detect the Hck and Her2 in a linear range of 1–200 U/mL with the detection limit of 1 U/mL. The sensing platform was also effective in assessing the specificity and efficacies of the inhibitors for protein tyrosine kinases. This is demonstrated by the detection of significant inhibition of Hck (~88.1%, but not Her2) by the Src inhibitor 1, an inhibitor for Src family kinases, as well as the significant inhibition of Her2 (~91%, but not Hck) by CP-724714 through the platform. These results suggest the potential of the developed miniature sensing platform as an effective tool for detecting different protein tyrosine kinase activity and for accessing the inhibitory effect of various inhibitors to these kinases.

In Gram-positive bacteria, tyrosine kinases are split into two proteins, the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase and a transmembrane adaptor protein. InStreptococcus pneumoniae, this transmembrane adaptor is CpsC, with the C terminus of CpsC critical for interaction and subsequent tyrosine kinase activity of CpsD. Topology predictions suggest that CpsC has two transmembrane domains, with the N and C termini present in the cytoplasm. In order to investigate CpsC topology, we used a chromosomal hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged Cps2C protein inS. pneumoniaestrain D39. Incubation of both protoplasts and membranes with carboxypeptidase B (CP-B) resulted in complete degradation of HA-Cps2C in all cases, indicating that the C terminus of Cps2C was likely extracytoplasmic and hence that the protein's topology was not as predicted. Similar results were seen with membranes fromS. pneumoniaestrain TIGR4, indicating that Cps4C also showed similar topology. A chromosomally encoded fusion of HA-Cps2C and Cps2D was not degraded by CP-B, suggesting that the fusion fixed the C terminus within the cytoplasm. However, capsule synthesis was unaltered by this fusion. Detection of the CpsC C terminus by flow cytometry indicated that it was extracytoplasmic in approximately 30% of cells. Interestingly, a mutant in the protein tyrosine phosphatase CpsB had a significantly greater proportion of positive cells, although this effect was independent of its phosphatase activity. Our data indicate that CpsC possesses a varied topology, with the C terminus flipping across the cytoplasmic membrane, where it interacts with CpsD in order to regulate tyrosine kinase activity.
