Integrins play a central role in cellular adhesion and anchorage of the cytoskeleton and participate in the generation of intracellular signals, including tyrosine phosphorylation. We have recently isolated a cDNA encoding a unique, focal adhesion-associated protein tyrosine kinase (FAK) that is a component of an integrin-mediated signal transduction pathway. Here we report the isolation of cDNAs encoding the C-terminal, noncatalytic domain of the FAK kinase, termed FRNK (FAK-related nonkinase). Both the FAK- and FRNK-encoded polypeptides, pp125FAK and p41/p43FRNK, are expressed in normal chicken embryo cells. pp125FAK and p41/p43FRNK were localized to focal adhesions, suggesting that pp125FAK is directed to the focal adhesions by sequences within its C-terminal domain. We also show that the fibronectin-dependent increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of pp125FAK is accompanied by a concomitant posttranslational modification of p41FRNK.

Endothelin 1

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is known to induce the contraction and proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells. Because ET-1 was found to stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of unidentified cellular proteins in cultured mesangial cells, protein tyrosine kinase might serve as one of the important signals leading to various functions of ET-1. Focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) is a newly identified cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase that is activated by the phosphorylation of its own tyrosine residue. Because p125FAK was found to play a role in the signal transduction of not only integrins but also various neurotransmitters, including bombesin, endothelin, and vasopressin in Swiss 3T3 cells and Rat-1 fibroblasts, whether ET-1 could stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK in glomerular mesangial cells was examined. ET-1 stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK by threefold to fourfold in cultured mesangial cells. This effect of ET-1 was detected at 1 min and reached a maximum within 5 min and was blocked by BQ-123, an antagonist for ETA receptor. A23187, a calcium ionophore, failed to stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK, and ET-1 was able to stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK, even in a calcium-free medium. The activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate resulted in a stimulation of the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK, and an inhibition of PKC by calphostin C or staurosporine significantly reduced the effect of ET-1. Furthermore, prolonged treatment of the cells with phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate markedly inhibited the ET-1-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK. These results indicate that p125FAK might play a role in a signal transduction system of ET-1 in glomerular mesangial cells and that the ET-1-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK is largely dependent on the PKC pathway.
