ABSTRACTIn hematopoietic tissues cell-cell communication involves immunoreceptors and specialized cell adhesion receptors that both mediate intracellular signals. Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the downstream signaling of both immunoreceptors tyrosine activation motif (ITAM) receptors and integrin family cell adhesion receptors. Both phosphorylated ITAM (pITAM) and integrins bind to the regulatory domain of Syk composed of two Src homology 2 (SH2) domains. The interaction with pITAM is mediated by binding of a specific phosphotyrosine to each of the SH2 domains, leading to conformational changes and Syk kinase activation. Integrins bind to the interdomain A segment between the two SH2 domains and to the N-terminal SH2 domain, but the detailed binding site is not known. In order to map the binding site, we performed NMR titration experiments. We found that integrin cytoplasmic domain peptide induced chemical shift changes near the IA segment and at the phosphotyrosine binding site of the N-terminal SH2 domain of Syk. These changes were distinct, but partially overlapping with those induced by pITAM peptide. We were also able to show that pITAM peptide inhibited integrin binding to Syk regulatory domain. These results suggest that ITAM receptors and integrins cannot bind simultaneously to Syk, but provide two distinct routes for Syk activation.

A major class of ankyrin-binding glycoproteins have been identified in adult rat brain of 186, 155, and 140 kD that are alternatively spliced products of the same pre-mRNA. Characterization of cDNAs demonstrated that ankyrin-binding glycoproteins (ABGPs) share 72% amino acid sequence identity with chicken neurofascin, a membrane-spanning neural cell adhesion molecule in the Ig super-family expressed in embryonic brain. ABGP polypeptides have the following features consistent with a role as ankyrin-binding proteins in vitro and in vivo: (a) ABGPs and ankyrin associate as pure proteins in a 1:1 molar stoichiometry; (b) the ankyrin-binding site is located in the COOH-terminal 21 kD of ABGP186 which contains the predicted cytoplasmic domain; (c) ABGP186 is expressed at approximately the same levels as ankyrin (15 pmoles/milligram of membrane protein); and (d) ABGP polypeptides are co-expressed with the adult form of ankyrinB late in postnatal development and are colocalized with ankyrinB by immunofluorescence. Similarity in amino acid sequence and conservation of sites of alternative splicing indicate that genes encoding ABGPs and neurofascin share a common ancestor. However, the major differences in developmental expression reported for neurofascin in embryos versus the late postnatal expression of ABGPs suggest that ABGPs and neurofascin represent products of gene duplication events that have subsequently evolved in parallel with distinct roles. The predicted cytoplasmic domains of rat ABGPs and chicken neurofascin are nearly identical to each other and closely related to a group of nervous system cell adhesion molecules with variable extracellular domains, which includes L1, Nr-CAM, and Ng-CAM of vertebrates, and neuroglian of Drosophila. The ankyrin-binding site of rat ABGPs is localized to the C-terminal 200 residues which encompass the cytoplasmic domain, suggesting the hypothesis that ability to associate with ankyrin may be a shared feature of neurofascin and related nervous system cell adhesion molecules.

We have used in vitro mutagenesis to examine in detail the roles of two modular protein domains, SH2 and SH3, in the regulation of the Abl tyrosine kinase. As previously shown, the SH3 domain suppresses an intrinsic transforming activity of the normally nontransforming c-Abl product in vivo. We show here that this inhibitory activity is extremely position sensitive, because mutants in which the position of the SH3 domain within the protein is subtly altered are fully transforming. In contrast to the case in vivo, the SH3 domain has no effect on the in vitro kinase activity of the purified protein. These results are consistent with a model in which the SH3 domain binds a cellular inhibitory factor, which in turn must physically interact with other parts of the kinase. Unlike the SH3 domain, the SH2 domain is required for transforming activity of activated Abl alleles. We demonstrate that SH2 domains from other proteins (Ras-GTPase-activating protein, Src, p85 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase subunit, and Crk) can complement the absence of the Abl SH2 domain and that mutants with heterologous SH2 domains induce altered patterns of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in vivo. The positive function of the SH2 domain is relatively position independent, and the effect of multiple SH2 domains appears to be additive. These results suggest a novel mechanism for regulation of tyrosine kinases in which the SH2 domain binds to, and thereby enhances the phosphorylation of, a subset of proteins phosphorylated by the catalytic domain. Our data also suggest that the roles of the SH2 and SH3 domains in the regulation of Abl are different in several respects from the roles proposed for these domains in the closely related Src family of tyrosine kinases.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the roles of Fer-CIP4 homology (FCH)-Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (F-BAR) and SH2 domains of Fes protein tyrosine kinase in regulating its activation and signaling downstream of the high-affinity immunoglobulin G (IgE) receptor (FcεRI) in mast cells. Homology modeling of the Fes F-BAR domain revealed conservation of some basic residues implicated in phosphoinositide binding (R113/K114). The Fes F-BAR can bind phosphoinositides and induce tubulation of liposomes in vitro. Mutation of R113/K114 to uncharged residues (RK/QQ) caused a significant reduction in phosphoinositide binding in vitro and a more diffuse cytoplasmic localization in transfected COS-7 cells. RBL-2H3 mast cells expressing full-length Fes carrying the RK/QQ mutation show defects in FcεRI-induced Fes tyrosine phosphorylation and degranulation compared to cells expressing wild-type Fes. This correlated with reduced localization to Lyn kinase-containing membrane fractions for the RK/QQ mutant compared to wild-type Fes in mast cells. The Fes SH2 domain also contributes to Fes signaling in mast cells, via interactions with the phosphorylated FcεRI β chain and the actin regulatory protein HS1. We show that Fes phosphorylates C-terminal tyrosine residues in HS1 implicated in actin stabilization. Thus, coordinated actions of the F-BAR and SH2 domains of Fes allow for coupling to FcεRI signaling and potential regulation the actin reorganization in mast cells.

Stem cell factor (SCF) has an important role in the proliferation, differentiation, survival, and migration of hematopoietic cells. SCF exerts its effects by binding to cKit, a receptor with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Activation of phosphatidylinositol 3′-kinase (PI3-K) by cKit was previously shown to contribute to many SCF-induced cellular responses. Therefore, PI3-K-dependent signaling pathways activated by SCF were investigated. The PI3-K-dependent activation and phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase Tec and the adapter molecule p62Dok-1 are reported. The study shows that Tec and Dok-1 form a stable complex with Lyn and 2 unidentified phosphoproteins of 56 and 140 kd. Both the Tec homology and the SH2 domain of Tec were identified as being required for the interaction with Dok-1, whereas 2 domains in Dok-1 appeared to mediate the association with Tec. In addition, Tec and Lyn were shown to phosphorylate Dok-1, whereas phosphorylated Dok-1 was demonstrated to bind to the SH2 domains of several signaling molecules activated by SCF, including Abl, CrkL, SHIP, and PLCγ-1, but not those of Vav and Shc. These findings suggest that p62Dok-1 may function as an important scaffold molecule in cKit-mediated signaling.

H2O2 and thiol-reactive inhibitors can attenuate the binding of the tandem-SH2 (Src-homology domain 2) domains of ζ-chain associated protein of 70 kDa (ZAP-70) and spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) to doubly phosphorylated ITAM. This suggests a novel mechanism whereby oxidation of cysteine residues in these kinases could regulate immune cell signalling.

Atherosclerosis is characterized by chronic sterile inflammation of the artery wall in which cells of the monocyte lineage accumulate in response to the deposition of low density lipoprotein (LDL). We previously established that recognition of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) by CD36 triggers assembly of a novel Toll-like receptor heterodimer composed of TLR4 and TLR6. Here we set out to understand the molecular mechanisms of CD36/TLR4/TLR6 activation and establish how it triggers downstream signals that lead to the expression of the pro-inflammatory mediators that have been directly implicated in the deleterious effects of oxLDL and atherosclerosis progression. By confocal microscopy we demonstrate that oxLDL induces CD36, TLR4 and TLR6 co-localization in intracellular compartments, but not on the cell surface of macrophages. Notably, inhibition of oxLDL endocytosis (with Dynasore) or lysosomal maturation (with Bafilomycin A or NH4Cl) blocks CD36-TLR4-TLR6 complex formation and oxLDL-induced cytokine responses in macrophages. These data indicate that both ligand internalization and lysosomal acidification are required for assembly of a functional CD36/TLR4/TLR6 signaling complex. Notably, CD36 contains a hemi-ITIM motif in the C-terminus that is reported to interact with the spleen tyrosine kinase Syk through its SH2 domain. As Syk has recently been implicated in the trafficking of CD14 and TLR4 to the endosome in response to LPS, we investigated the role of this kinase in CD36/TLR4/TLR6 signaling. We find that Syk is required for CD36 internalization and TLR4/TLR6 heterodimerization. Using a pharmacological inhibitor, we show that inhibition of Syk activity blocks oxLDL-induced TLR4-TLR6 co-precipitation and abrogates macrophage expression of both MyD88- (IL-1b, CXCL1) and TRIF-dependent (CCL5) cytokines/chemokines. Together, our data are consistent with a key role for Syk in the trafficking of CD36 and oxLDL to the lysosome, where it coordinates the assembly of a functional TLR4-TLR6 heterodimer to initiate signaling. This model highlights the importance of CD36 as a co-receptor that orchestrates TLR4-TLR6 trafficking and assembly to initiate the detrimental inflammatory responses that promote the progression of atherosclerosis.

Autophosphorylation sites of growth factor receptors with tyrosine kinase activity function as specific binding sites for Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of signaling molecules. This interaction appears to be a crucial step in a mechanism by which receptor tyrosine kinases relay signals to downstream signaling pathways. Nck is a widely expressed protein consisting exclusively of SH2 and SH3 domains, the overexpression of which causes cell transformation. It has been shown that various growth factors stimulate the phosphorylation of Nck and its association with autophosphorylated growth factor receptors. A panel of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor mutations at tyrosine residues has been used to identify the Nck binding site. Here we show that mutation at Tyr-751 of the PDGF beta-receptor eliminates Nck binding both in vitro and in living cells. Moreover, the Y751F PDGF receptor mutant failed to mediate PDGF-stimulated phosphorylation of Nck in intact cells. A phosphorylated Tyr-751 is also required for binding of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase to the PDGF receptor. Hence, the SH2 domains of p85 and Nck share a binding site in the PDGF receptor. Competition experiments with different phosphopeptides derived from the PDGF receptor suggest that binding of Nck and p85 is influenced by different residues around Tyr-751. Thus, a single tyrosine autophosphorylation site is able to link the PDGF receptor to two distinct SH2 domain-containing signaling molecules.
