Recent work indicates that signaling events resulting from stimulation of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) can be initiated by the CD3 complex (gamma, delta, epsilon) as well as the zeta chains of the receptor. To help characterize the signaling function of CD3 we examined its associated tyrosine kinase activity since induction of tyrosine phosphorylation is one of the earliest signaling events. Our results indicate that at least two kinases, lck and ZAP-70, contribute to the CD3-associated kinase activity. A likely target of this activity is the CD3 complex itself since we observed that TCR stimulation resulted in rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of the CD3 epsilon and delta chains. To examine the function of the CD3 epsilon chain in particular, we constructed a chimera that fused the extracellular and transmembrane domains of CD8 to the cytoplasmic domain of CD3 epsilon. This chimera demonstrated that CD3 epsilon was independently capable of associating with proteins having tyrosine kinase activity, including ZAP-70. Our results show that the kinase activity that associates with the CD3 complex has characteristics that are quite similar to the previously characterized zeta-associated kinase activity. This finding suggests that both these components of the TCR initiate signaling events using a common mechanism. However, differences in their signaling function could result from recognition of distinct substrates.

Human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-3 (IL-3) exert multiple effects on the proliferation, differentiation, and function of myeloid lineage cells through their interaction with specific cell-surface receptors. There is a considerable degree of overlap in the biological effects of these two growth factors, but little is known about the mechanisms of postreceptor signal transduction. We have investigated the effects of GM-CSF and IL-3 on protein tyrosine-kinase activity in a human cell line, MO7E, which proliferates in response to either factor. Tyrosine- kinase activity was detected using immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) specific for phosphotyrosine. GM-CSF and IL-3 were found to induce a nearly identical pattern of protein tyrosine phosphorylation using both one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Tyrosine phosphorylation of two cytosolic proteins in particular was increased more than 10-fold, a 93-Kd protein (pp93) and a 70-Kd protein (pp70). Tyrosine phosphorylation of pp93 and pp70 was observed within 1 minute, reached a maximum at 5 to 15 minutes, and gradually decreased thereafter. Other proteins of 150, 125, 63, 55, 42, and 36 Kd were also phosphorylated on tyrosine in response to both GM- CSF and IL-3, although to a lesser degree. Tyrosine phosphorylation was dependent on the concentration of GM-CSF over the range of 0.1 to 10 ng/mL and on IL-3 over the range of 1 to 30 ng/mL. Stimulation of MO7E cells with 12–0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or cytokines such as G-CSF, M-CSF, interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), or transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) did not induce tyrosine phosphorylation of pp93 or pp70, suggesting that these two phosphoproteins are specific for GM-CSF-or IL-3-induced activation. The extent and duration of phosphorylation of all the substrates were increased by pretreatment of cells with vanadate, an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine phosphatases. Importantly, culture of MO7E cells with vanadate (up to 10 mumol/L) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in GM- CSF-or IL-3-induced proliferation of up to 1.8-fold. These results suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation may be important for GM-CSF and IL-3 receptor-mediated signal transduction and that cell proliferation may be, at least partially, regulated by a balance between CSF-induced protein-tyrosine kinase activity and protein-tyrosine phosphatase activity.

The erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) can be activated to signal cell growth by binding either EPO or gp55, the Friend spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) glycoprotein. EPO binding induces tyrosine kinase activity and rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular substrates. To test for gp55-induced tyrosine kinase activity, we performed immunoblots on two murine cell lines that stably express EPO-R and gp55. Stimulation of the parental cell line, Ba/F3, with murine interleukin-3 (IL-3) resulted in rapid, dose-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of a 97-Kd substrate. Stimulation with IL-3 or EPO of the Ba/F3 cells expressing the recombinant EPO-R (Ba/F3-EPO-R) resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of the same p97 substrate. These latter cells, when transformed to growth factor-independence by the Friend gp55 glycoprotein, exhibited constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation of the 97-Kd substrate. Other growth factor-independent Ba/F3 subclones, transformed with either the oncoprotein, v-abl, or with a constitutively activated EPO-R, also had constitutive phosphorylation of a 97-Kd substrate. In CTLL-2-EPO-R cells, a T-lymphocyte line stably transfected with the EPO-R, the 97-Kd substrate was tyrosine- phosphorylated in response to IL-2 or EPO. The 97-Kd protein was constitutively phosphorylated in CTLL-2-EPO-R-gp55 cells. In conclusion, a 97-Kd protein found in two murine cell lines is tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to multiple growth factors and viral oncoproteins, and appears to be a central phosphoprotein in signal transduction.

We examined the effect of sphingomyelinase on tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins in mouse Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Incubation of the cells with bacterial sphingomyelinase resulted in the elevation of tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple cellular proteins of 190, 130, 120, 97 and 70 kDa within minutes. The 120 and 70 kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides were identified as p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) and paxillin respectively by the use of specific antibodies against the proteins. Tyrosine kinase activity associated with anti-p125FAK immunoprecipitate was stimulated by incubation of cells with sphingomyelinase. Cytochalasin D, which selectively disrupts the network of actin filaments, inhibited sphingomyelinase-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK and elevation of tyrosine kinase activity in the anti-p125FAK immunoprecipitates. Sphingomyelinase-induced phosphorylation of p125FAK was not inhibited by wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. This was in sharp contrast with a wortmannin-sensitive phosphorylation of p125FAK observed in platelet-derived growth factor (PGDF)-stimulated cells. Thus hydrolysis of sphingomyelin is considered to regulate the tyrosine kinase cascade including p125FAK and paxillin by a mechanism distinct from PDGF.

✓ Stimulation of three human glioma cell lines with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) led to the enhancement of cell growth and the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins, including major substrates of 90 kD. A methyltransferase inhibitor, 5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA), inhibited dose dependently the bFGF-stimulated cell growth and protein tyrosine phosphorylation in glioma cells by blocking both receptor autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation, as shown by immunoblotting with antiphosphotyrosine antibodies and cross-linking bFGF to receptors. The antiproliferative activity of MTA correlated quantitatively with its potency as an inhibitor of bFGF-stimulated protein tyrosine kinase activity. The methyltransferase inhibitor MTA had no effect on either epidermal growth factor— or platelet-derived growth factor—stimulated protein tyrosine phosphorylation in glioma cells, but inhibited specifically bFGF-stimulated protein tyrosine kinase activity. The concentration of MTA required for inhibition of protein methylation correlated well with the concentration required for inhibition of bFGF-stimulated cell growth and protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Because MTA had no effect on numbers and dissociation constants of high- and low-affinity bFGF receptors, the inhibition of bFGF-stimulated bFGF receptor tyrosine kinase activity is not likely to be the result of a reduction in bFGF receptor and bFGF binding capacity. In fact, MTA delayed and reduced the internalization and nuclear translocation of bFGF, and the internalized bFGF was submitted to a limited proteolysis that converted it to lower molecular peptides whose presence remained for at least 22 hours. The effect of MTA on bFGF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation was immediate and readily reversible.

Protein tyrosine kinase activity was assayed in a variety of chicken tissues during embryonic development and in the adult. In some tissues protein tyrosine kinase activity decreased during embryonic development; however, in other tissues it remained high throughout development, it contrast to the level of protein tyrosine phosphorylation, which decreased during development. The highest levels of tyrosine kinase activity were detected in 17-d embryonic brain although only low levels of protein tyrosine phosphorylation were observed in this tissue. Several alternatives were examined in an effort to determine the mechanism responsible for the low levels of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins in most older embryonic and adult chicken tissues despite the presence of highly active tyrosine kinases. The results show that the regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation during embryonic development is complex and varies from tissue to tissue. Furthermore, the results suggest that protein tyrosine phosphatases play an important role in regulating the level of phosphotyrosine in proteins of many older embryonic and adult tissues.
