Oxidation and tyrosine phosphorylation: synergistic or antagonistic cues in protein tyrosine phosphatases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have been generally recognised as key modulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion and motility. During signalling, several PTPs undergo two posttranslational modifications that greatly affect their enzymatic activity: tyrosine phosphorylation and cysteine oxidation. Although these modifications share their reversibility depending on the intracellular environment, their effects on enzymatic activity are opposite, tyrosine phosphorylation being correlated to enzyme activation and thiol oxidation to complete inactivation. Several papers have suggested that both these modifications occur in response to the same stimuli i.e. cell proliferation induced by numerous growth factors and cytokines. Conversely, the possibility that these two regulation mechanisms act simultaneously on PTPs has not been established and very few reports investigated this dual regulation of PTPs. To underline the relevance of the question, we discuss several possibilities: (i) that tyrosine phosphorylation and cysteine oxidation of PTPs may share the same target molecules but with different kinetics; (ii) that PTP phosphorylation and oxidation may take place on different subcellular pools of the same protein and (iii) that these two modifications, although having divergent effects on enzyme activity, cooperate in the integrated and coordinated function of PTPs during receptor tyrosine kinase signalling. We believe that our perspective will open new perspectives on an ancient problem – the apparent contradiction of opposing enzymatic regulation of many PTPs – thus clarifying their role as positive or negative transducers (or both) of many extracellular stimuli.Received 11 October 2004; received after revision 26 January 2005; accepted 10 February 2005 Available online 29 March 2005 相似文献

HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2; also known as erbB2) and its relatives HER1 (epidermal growth factor receptor; EGFR), HER3 and HER4 belong to the HER family of receptor tyrosine kinases. In normal cells, activation of this receptor tyrosine kinase family triggers a rich network of signaling pathways that control normal cell growth, differentiation, motility and adhesion in several cell lineages. The first tumor studied for an alteration of the HER2 oncogene is breast carcinoma, and so far the majority of studies have been performed on this oncotype. Although involvement of HER2 as a cause of human cell transformation needs to be further investigated, overexpression of the HER2 oncogene in human breast carcinomas has been associated with a more aggressive course of disease. It has been suggested that this association depends on HER2-driven proliferation, vessel formation and/or invasiveness; however, poor prognosis may not be directly related to the presence of the oncoprotein on the cell membrane but instead to the breast carcinoma subset identified by HER2 overexpression and characterized by a peculiar gene expression profile, as recently identified. HER2-positive tumors were recently shown to benefit from anthracyclin treatment and to be resistant to endocrine therapy. Despite the fact that many pathways interacting with HER2 are still not fully understood, this tyrosine kinase receptor is, to date, a promising molecule for targeted therapy. 相似文献

Ethanol-induced cerebellar hypoplasia is associated with inhibition of insulin-stimulated survival signaling. The present work explores the mechanisms of impaired insulin signaling in a rat model of fetal alcohol syndrome. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR demonstrated reduced expression of the insulin gene in cerebella of ethanol-exposed pups. Although receptor expression was unaffected, insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activities were reduced by ethanol exposure, and these abnormalities were associated with increased PTP1b activity. In addition, glucose transporter molecule expression and steady-state levels of ATP were reduced in ethanol-exposed cerebellar tissue. Cultured cerebellar granule neurons from ethanol-exposed pups had reduced expression of genes encoding insulin, IGF-II, and the IGF-I and IGF-II receptors, and impaired insulin- and IGF-I-stimulated glucose uptake and ATP production. The results demonstrate that ethanol inhibits insulin-mediated actions in the developing brain by reducing local insulin production and insulin RTK activation, leading to inhibition of glucose transport and ATP production.Received 30 December 2004; received after revision 1 March 2005; accepted 10 March 2005 相似文献

The plasminogen activator system: biology and regulation 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29

The regulation of plasminogen activation involves genes for two plasminogen activators (tissue type and urokinase type),
two specific inhibitors (type 1 and type 2), and a membrane-anchored urokinase-type plasminogen-activator-specific receptor.
This system plays an important role in various biological processes involving extracellular proteolysis. Recent studies have
revealed that the system, through interplay with integrins and the extracellular matrix protein vitronectin, is also involved
in the regulation of cell migration and proliferation in a manner independent of proteolytic activity. The genes are expressed
in many different cell types and their expression is under the control of diverse extracellular signals. Gene expression reflects
the levels of the corresponding mRNA, which should be the net result of synthesis and degradation. Thus, modulation of mRNA
stability is an important factor in overall regulation. This review summarizes current understanding of the biology and regulation
of genes involved in plasminogen activation at different levels.

The epidermal growth factor family of receptor tyrosine kinases (ErbBs) plays essential roles in regulating cell proliferation, survival, differentiation and migration. The ErbB receptors carry out both redundant and restricted functions in mammalian development and in the maintenance of tissues in the adult mammal. Loss of regulation of the ErbB receptors underlies many human diseases, most notably cancer. Our understanding of the function and complex regulation of these receptors has fueled the development of targeted therapeutic agents for human malignancies in the last 15 years. Here we review the biology of ErbB receptors, including their structure, signaling, regulation, and roles in development and disease, then briefly touch on their increasing roles as targets for cancer therapy. 相似文献

Genetic alterations causing oncogenic activation of the RET gene are recognized as pathogenic
events in papillary and medullary thyroid carcinomas. Inhibition of Ret oncoprotein functions could
thereby represent a specific therapeutic approach. We previously described the inhibitory activity
of the 2-indolinone derivative RPI-1 (formerly Cpd1) on the tyrosine kinase activity and transforming
ability of the products of the RET/PTC1 oncogene exogenously expressed in murine cells. In the
present study, we investigated the effects of RPI-1 in the human papillary thyroid carcinoma cell
line TPC-1 spontaneously harboring the RET/PTC1 rearrangement. Treatment with RPI-1 inhibited cell
proliferation and induced accumulation of cells at the G2 cell cycle phase. In treated cells,
Ret/Ptc1 tyrosine phosphorylation was abolished along with its binding to Shc and phospholipase
C, thereby indicating abrogation of constitutive signaling mediated by the oncoprotein. Activation
of JNK2 and AKT was abolished, thus supporting the drug inhibitory efficacy on downstream pathways.
In addition, cell growth inhibition was associated with a reduction in telomerase activity by nearly
85%. These findings in a cellular context relevant to the pathological function of RET oncogenes
support the role of Ret oncoproteins as useful targets for therapeutic intervention, and suggest
RPI-1 as a promising candidate for preclinical development in the treatment of thyroid tumors
expressing RET oncogenes.Received 31 December 2002; received after revision 21 February 2003; accepted 10 April 2003 相似文献

Actin plays a fundamental role in the regulation of spine morphology (both shrinkage and enlargement) upon synaptic activation. In particular, actin depolymerization is crucial for the spine shrinkage in NMDAR-mediated synaptic depression. Here, we define the role of SPIN90 phosphorylation/dephosphorylation in regulating actin depolymerization via modulation of cofilin activity. When neurons were treated with NMDA, SPIN90 was dephosphorylated by STEP61 (striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase) and translocated from the spines to the dendritic shafts. In addition, phosphorylated SPIN90 bound cofilin and then inhibited cofilin activity, suggesting that SPIN90 dephosphorylation is a prerequisite step for releasing cofilin so that cofilin can adequately sever actin filaments into monomeric form. We found that SPIN90 YE, a phosphomimetic mutant, remained in the spines after NMDAR activation where it bound cofilin, thereby effectively preventing actin depolymerization. This led to inhibition of the activity-dependent redistribution of cortactin and drebrin A, as well as of the morphological changes in the spines that underlie synaptic plasticity. These findings indicate that NMDA-induced SPIN90 dephosphorylation and translocation initiates cofilin-mediated actin dynamics and spine shrinkage within dendritic spines, thereby modulating synaptic activity. 相似文献

In this review, we discuss the signal-transduction pathways of three major cellular responses induced by tumor necrosis factor
(TNF): cell survival through NF-κB activation, apoptosis, and necrosis. Recruitment and activation of caspases plays a crucial
role in the initiation and execution of TNF-induced apoptosis. However, experimental inhibition of caspases reveals an alternative
cell death pathway, namely necrosis, also called necroptosis, suggesting that caspases actively suppress the latter outcome.
TNF-induced necrotic cell death crucially depends on the kinase activity of receptor interacting protein serine-threonine
kinase 1 (RIP1) and RIP3. It was recently demonstrated that ubiquitination of RIP1 determines whether it will function as
a pro-survival or pro-cell death molecule. Deeper insight into the mechanisms that control the molecular switches between
cell survival and cell death will help us to understand why TNF can exert so many different biological functions in the etiology
and pathogenesis of human diseases. 相似文献

Despite the absence of classical tyrosine kinases encrypted in the kinome of Plasmodium falciparum, biochemical analyses have detected significant tyrosine phosphorylation in its cell lysates. Supporting such phosphorylation
is critical for parasite development. These observations have thus raised queries regarding the plasmodial enzymes accountable
for tyrosine kinase activities in vivo. In the current investigation, immunoblot analysis intriguingly demonstrated that Pfnek3,
a plasmodial mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK), displayed both serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase activities
in autophosphorylation reactions as well as in phosphorylation of the exogenous myelin basic protein substrate. The results
obtained strongly support Pfnek3 as a novel dual-specificity kinase of the malarial parasite, even though it displays a HGDLKSTN
motif in the catalytic loop that resembles the consensus HRDLKxxN signature found in the serine/threonine kinases. Notably,
its serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase activities were found to be distinctly influenced by Mg2+ and Mn2+ cofactors. Further probing into the regulatory mechanism of Pfnek3 also revealed tyrosine phosphorylation to be a crucial
factor that stimulates its kinase activity. Through biocomputational analyses and functional assays, tyrosine residues Y117,
Y122, Y172, and Y238 were proposed as phosphorylation sites essential for mediating the catalytic activities of Pfnek3. The
discovery of Pfnek3’s dual role in phosphorylation marks its importance in closing the loop for cellular regulation in P. falciparum, which remains elusive to date. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) belongs by sequence homology to the neurotrophins, a family of proteins binding the same p75 receptor
and closely related members of the Trk family of receptor tyrosine kinases. Fundamental in the vertebrate nervous system,
neurotrophin signals have also been suggested as essential for relatively complex nervous systems occurring in invertebrate
species that live longer than Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. Mammalian neurotrophins have been found to influence invertebrate neuronal growth. However, there are only a few data on
the presence of molecules related to neurotrophin signalling components in invertebrates. Our studies provide evidence that
analogues of neurotrophins and neurotrophin receptors are expressed in Eisenia foetida earthworms. In particular, NGF-like and Trk-like immunoreactive proteins are both expressed in the nervous system, whereas
p75-like positivity identifies tubular structures associated with dorsal pores that are involved in the earthworm response
to mechanical irritation or stress.

The urokinase receptor (uPAR) stimulates cell proliferation by forming a macromolecular complex with αvβ3 integrin and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, ErbB1 or HER1) that we name the uPAR proliferasome. uPAR transactivates EGFR, which in turn mediates uPAR-initiated mitogenic signal to the cell. EGFR activation and EGFR-dependent cell growth are blocked in the absence of uPAR expression or when uPAR activity is inhibited by antibodies against either uPAR or EGFR. The mitogenic sequence of uPAR corresponds to the D2A motif present in domain 2. NMR analysis revealed that D2A synthetic peptide has a particular three-dimensional structure, which is atypical for short peptides. D2A peptide is as effective as EGF in promoting EGFR phosphorylation and cell proliferation that were inhibited by AG1478, a specific inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of EGFR. Both D2A and EGF failed to induce proliferation of NR6-EGFR-K721A cells expressing a kinase-defective mutant of EGFR. Moreover, D2A peptide and EGF phosphorylate ERK demonstrating the involvement of the MAP kinase signalling pathway. Altogether, this study reveals the importance of sequence D2A of uPAR, and the interdependence of uPAR and EGFR. 相似文献

The type III receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia. Oncogenic FLT3 mutants display constitutive activity leading to aberrant cell proliferation and survival. Phosphorylation on several critical tyrosine residues is known to be essential for FLT3 signaling. Among these tyrosine residues, Y842 is located in the so-called activation loop. The position of this tyrosine residue is well conserved in all receptor tyrosine kinases. It has been reported that phosphorylation of the activation loop tyrosine is critical for catalytic activity for some but not all receptor tyrosine kinases. The role of Y842 residue in FLT3 signaling has not yet been studied. In this report, we show that Y842 is not important for FLT3 activation or ubiquitination but plays a critical role in regulating signaling downstream of the receptor as well as controlling receptor stability. We found that mutation of Y842 in the FLT3-ITD oncogenic mutant background reduced cell viability and increased apoptosis. Furthermore, the introduction of the Y842 mutation in the FLT3-ITD background led to a dramatic reduction in in vitro colony forming capacity. Additionally, mice injected with cells expressing FLT3-ITD/Y842F displayed a significant delay in tumor formation, compared to FLT3-ITD expressing cells. Microarray analysis comparing gene expression regulated by FLT3-ITD versus FLT3-ITD/Y842F demonstrated that mutation of Y842 causes suppression of anti-apoptotic genes. Furthermore, we showed that cells expressing FLT3-ITD/Y842F display impaired activity of the RAS/ERK pathway due to reduced interaction between FLT3 and SHP2 leading to reduced SHP2 activation. Thus, we suggest that Y842 is critical for FLT3-mediated RAS/ERK signaling and cellular transformation. 相似文献

Signal transduction via the stem cell factor receptor/c-Kit 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Together with its ligand, stem cell factor, the receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit is a key controlling receptor for a number of cell types, including hematopoietic stem cells, mast cells, melanocytes and germ cells. Gain-of-function mutations in c-Kit have been described in a number of human cancers, including testicular germinomas, acute myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors.Stimulation of c-Kit by its ligand leads to dimerization of receptors, activation of its intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity and phosphorylation of key tyrosine residues within the receptor. These phosphorylated tyrosine residues serve as docking sites for a number of signal transduction molecules containing Src homology 2 domains, which will thereby be recruited to the receptor and activated many times through phosphorylation by the receptor. This review discusses our current knowledge of signal transduction molecules and signal transduction pathways activated by c-Kit and how their activation can be connected to the physiological outcome of c-Kit signaling. 相似文献

Although the yeast genome does not encode bona fide protein tyrosine kinases, tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins are numerous, suggesting that besides dual-specificity kinases, some Ser/Thr kinases are also committed to tyrosine phosphorylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we show that blockage of the highly pleiotropic Ser/Thr kinase CK2 with a specific inhibitor synergizes with the overexpression of Stp1 low-molecular-weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) in inducing a severe growth-defective phenotype, consistent with a prominent role for CK2 in tyrosine phosphorylation in yeast. We also present in vivo evidence that immunophilin Fpr3, the only tyrosine-phosphorylated CK2 substrate recognized so far, interacts with and is dephosphorylated by Spt1. These data disclose a functional correlation between CK2 and LMW-PTPs, and suggest that reversible phosphorylation of Fpr3 plays a role in the regulation of growth rate and budding in S. cerevisiae.Received 15 January 2004; received after revision 20 February 2004; accepted 4 March 2004 相似文献

Structure and function of the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor 总被引:18,自引:1,他引:17
Adams TE Epa VC Garrett TP Ward CW 《Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS》2000,57(7):1050-1093
The type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R), a transmembrane tyrosine kinase, is widely expressed across many cell types in foetal and postnatal tissues. Activation of the receptor following binding of the secreted growth factor ligands IGF-1 and IGF-2 elicits a repertoire of cellular responses including proliferation, and the protection of cells from programmed cell death or apoptosis. As a result, signalling through the IGF-1R is the principal pathway responsible for somatic growth in foetal mammals, whereas somatic growth in postnatal animals is achieved through the synergistic interaction of growth hormone and the IGFs. Forced overexpression of the IGF-1R results in the malignant transformation of cultured cells: conversely, downregulation of IGF-1R levels can reverse the transformed phenotype of tumour cells, and may render them sensitive to apoptosis in vivo. Elevated levels of IGF-IR are observed in a variety of human tumour types, whereas epidemiological studies implicate the IGF-1 axis as a predisposing factor in the pathogenesis of human breast and prostate cancer. The IGF-1R has thus emerged as a therapeutic target for the development of antitumour agents. Recent progress towards the elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of the extracellular domain of the IGF-1R represents an opportunity for the rational assembly of small molecule antagonists of receptor function for clinical use. 相似文献

Novel regulation and function of Src tyrosine kinase 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Src tyrosine kinase is a critical signal transducer that modulates a wide variety of cellular functions. Misregulation of
Src leads to cell transformation and cancer. Heterotrimeric guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are another group
of signaling molecules that transduce signals from cell-surface receptors to generate physiological responses. Recently, it
was discovered that Gαs and Gαi could directly stimulate Src family tyrosine kinase activity. This novel regulation of Src
tyrosine kinase by G proteins provides insights into the adenylyl cyclase-independent signaling mechanisms involved in ligand-induced
receptor desensitization, internalization and other physiological processes.

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine produced primarily by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) which plays a key
role in promoting type 1 T helper cell (Th1) responses. The powerful activity of IL-12 requires tight control, which is exerted
at various levels. Primary control is exerted on IL-12 production by APCs, a major factor driving the response towards the
Th1 or Th2 phenotype. Another level of control regulates expression of the IL-12 receptor (IL-12R), which is composed of two
subunits, β1 and β2. The IL-12R β2 subunit has signal-transducing capacity and modulation of its expression is central to
the regulation of IL-12 responsiveness. Endogenous IL-12 plays an important role in host defense against infection by a variety
of intracellular pathogens. Its Th1-promoting activity, however, also favors Th1-mediated immunopathology and, in particular,
the induction of Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases.
