Abstract
The tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 functions as a negative regulator in hematopoietic cell development, proliferation, and receptor-mediated cellular activation. In Jurkat T cells, a major 68-kDa band and a minor 70-kDa band were immunoprecipitated by a monoclonal antibody against the SHP-1 protein-tyrosine phosphatase domain, while an antibody against the SHP-1 C-terminal 19 amino acids recognized only the 68-kDa SHP-1. The SDS-gel-purified 70-kDa protein was subjected to tryptic mapping and microsequencing, which was followed by molecular cloning. It revealed that the 70-kDa protein, termed SHP-1L, is a C-terminal alternatively spliced form of SHP-1. SHP-1L is 29 amino acids longer than SHP-1, and its 66 C-terminal amino acids are different from SHP-1. The C terminus of SHP-1L contains a proline-rich motif PVPGPPVLSP, a potential Src homology 3 domain-binding site. In contrast to SHP-1, tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP-1L is not detected upon stimulation in Jurkat T cells. This is apparently due to the lack of a single in vivo tyrosine phosphorylation site, which only exists in the C terminus of SHP-1 (Y564). COS cell-expressed glutathione S-transferase-SHP-1L can dephosphorylate tyrosine-phosphorylated ZAP70. At pH 7.4, SHP-1L was shown to be more active than SHP-1 in the dephosphorylation of ZAP70. At pH 5.4, SHP-1L and SHP-1 exhibited similar catalytic activity. It is likely that these two isoforms play different roles in the regulation of hematopoietic cell signal transduction.

Abstract
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been standardized for the treatment of intestinal type of intramucosal gastric carcinomas, and careful histological examination of the resected specimen is important for further treatment. To evaluate the diagnostic utility of p53 expression in gastric EMR samples, using immunohistochemical staining, we examined 24 gastric carcinomas (22 intestinal types and two diffuse types) and 20 adenomas removed by EMR. Intestinal type of adenocarcinomas revealed strong p53 expression in 13 cases (59%), weak in four cases (18%), and negative in five cases (23%). Resection margins of 11 carcinomas were involved in the carcinoma cells, which showed the same p53 expression pattern with main carcinoma cells. Squeezed carcinoma cells, remaining in resection margins, were definitely identified by strong p53 expression in seven cases of which the main tumor strongly expressed p53. Microscopic in situ carcinoma could be easily detected in p53 immunostaining. Multifocal involvement and submucosal invasion of carcinomas could be demarcated easily and definitely by strong p53 expression of carcinoma cells. All adenomas showed diffuse weak p53 expression. The difference of p53 expression (p< 0.001) could be used as a differential diagnosis between adenomas and carcinomas. According to these results, we propose that for careful histological examination in hospital diagnosis, both histological evaluation and p53 immunostaining are important diagnostic parameters in EMR samples of the intestinal type of gastric carcinomas.

Abstract
Jurkat T cells activated by the phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitors H2O2 or vanadate were found to have a similar pattern of tyrosine phosphorylation when compared with T cells stimulated by anti-CD3 Ab cross-linking, suggesting that protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitors affect the early steps of TCR signaling. To study the role of PTPs in the most proximal membrane events of tyrosine phosphorylation, subcellular fractions of T cells were treated with the PTP inhibitors in the presence of ATP. In the membrane fraction, tyrosine phosphorylation of Lck, Fyn, and CD3 zeta can be induced by PTP inhibitors, but not by anti-CD3. Detailed characterization of this cell-free system showed that the pattern and the order of induced tyrosine phosphorylation is similar to that induced in intact cells. Upon removal of the PTP inhibitor, the tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, including Lck, Fyn, Syk, Zap70, and CD35 zeta are rapidly dephosphorylated. Preliminary characterizations indicate that a PTP distinct from CD45, SHP1, and SHP2 is present in T cell membranes and the inhibition of this yet unidentified PTP is most likely responsible for the Lck-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation triggered by PTP inhibitors.

Abstract
FK506-binding protein (FKBP)12 and FKBP13 are members of a family of proteins which bind the immunosuppressant drugs, FK506 and rapamycin. FKBP12 and FKBP13 are encoded by distinct genes, designated FKBP1 and FKBP2, respectively. The structure of human FKBP1 was previously characterized. We now report the genomic structure of the human and murine FKBP2 genes. Comparison of FKBP1 and FKBP2 reveals significant homology and correlation of intron positions in the C-terminal region, suggesting that these genes may have evolved from a common ancestral gene.

Abstract
The function of the immunophilins, FKBP 12 and FKBP 13, which are binding proteins for the immunosuppressant drug FK506 and rapamycin, remains poorly defined, although it has been suggested that immunophilins and immunophilin-like proteins may play a role in protein sorting/folding and intracellular calcium ion regulation. As a first step towards understanding the function of FKBP 13, we studied its subcellular localization by immunoblotting of well-defined subcellular fractions from a canine pancreatic homogenate and immunocytochemical analysis of an overexpressed cloned cDNA for FKBP 13. Whereas FKBP 12 fractionated entirely into the cytosol, virtually all FKBP 13 was found in the rough microsomal fraction which consisted of highly purified rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), along with several well-characterized ER markers [the immunoglobulin heavy-chain binding protein (BiP), grp 94 and ribophorin I]. Moreover, FKBP 13 co-banded with the ER markers on isopycnic sucrose gradients. By immunofluorescence, the overexpressed cDNA for FKBP 13 in Hela cells gave an ER-staining pattern highly similar to that of known ER proteins. Addition of the ligand FK506 did not appear to alter the distribution of FKBP 13. Separation of the ER luminal contents and membrane revealed FKBP 13 to be a luminal ER protein. Since the lumen of the ER is where the folding of membrane and secreted proteins occurs, as well as a major site of intracellular calcium storage, it seems possible that FKBP 13 may be involved in one of these functions.

Abstract
FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) have been identified as the cellular receptors of the immunosuppressive drugs FK506 and rapamycin. Recently, we cloned a 25-kDa FKBP family member (FKBP25) and found that FKBP25 contains a nuclear localization sequence and several potential casein kinase II phosphorylation sites. It has been previously shown that phosphorylation of proteins by casein kinase II can enhance their nuclear localization. Here we demonstrate that FKBP25 is localized to the nucleus and that a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein of FKBP25 (GST-FKBP25) can be phosphorylated by casein kinase II. Also a stable FKBP25/casein kinase II complex was formed when the GST-FKBP25 fusion protein was incubated either with purified casein kinase II or with cell lysates. Furthermore, when GST-FKBP25 was incubated with nuclear lysates, nucleolin, a major nuclear substrate of casein kinase II, was found associated with the GST-FKBP25/casein kinase II complex. Casein kinase II phosphorylation of several cytosolic and nuclear substrates, including nucleolin, appears to be important for the regulation of cell growth. The interaction of FKBP25 with casein kinase II may regulate these functions.

Abstract
The inhibitory effects of cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506 on Fc epsilon receptor type I-initiated increases in cytokine mRNA and the expression of their intracellular binding proteins were studied in interleukin 3 (IL-3)-dependent, mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). In BMMCs sensitized with IgE anti-trinitrophenyl, CsA inhibited trinitrophenylated bovine serum albumin-induced increases in mRNA for IL-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and IL-6 in a dose-related manner (IC50 values of 4, 65, and 130 nM, respectively). FK506 did not inhibit hapten-specific increases of mRNA for TNF-alpha or IL-6, and for IL-1 beta the IC50 was greater than 50-fold higher than that of CsA. Neither agent inhibited exocytosis of the endogenous secretory granule mediators beta-hexosaminidase and histamine at the IC50 values for inhibition of increases in cytokine mRNA. BMMCs expressed cyclophilin, and CsA inhibited the phosphatase activity of cellular calcineurin with an IC50 of approximately 8 nM. That CsA inhibited IL-1 beta mRNA accumulation in IgE-activated BMMCs with an IC50 similar to that for inhibition of calcineurin activity, whereas the IC50 values were approximately 20-fold higher for the inhibition of TNF-alpha and IL-6 mRNA, suggests that the induction of TNF-alpha and IL-6 is less dependent upon calcineurin activity than is the induction of IL-1 beta. BMMCs were deficient in the 12-kDa FK506-binding protein FKBP12, but not FKBP13, as assessed by RNA and protein blot analyses. FK506 did not inhibit calcineurin phosphatase activity in BMMCs, even at drug concentrations of 1000 nM. The resistance of BMMCs to inhibition of Fc epsilon receptor type I-mediated increases in cytokine mRNA by FK506 is most likely due to their deficiency of FKBP12 and the related inability to inhibit the activity of calcineurin.

Abstract
Two FK506 binding proteins of molecular mass 12 kDa (FKBP12) and 13 kDa (FKBP13) have been identified as common cellular receptors of the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. Here we report the molecular cloning and overexpression of a 25-kDa rapamycin and FK506 binding protein (termed FKBP25) with peptidylprolyl cis-trans-isomerase (PPIase) activity. The amino acid sequence, predicted from the FKBP25 cDNA, shares identity with FKBP12 (44%) and FKBP13 (47%) in the C-terminal 97 amino acids. Unlike either FKBP12 or FKBP13, the nucleotide sequence of FKBP25 contains a number of putative nuclear localization sequences. The PPIase activity of recombinant FKBP25 was comparable with that of FKBP12. The PPIase activity of FKBP25 was far more sensitive to inhibition by rapamycin (IC50 = 50 nM) than FK506 (IC50 = 400 nM). PPIase activity of 100 nM FKBP25 was almost completely inhibited by 150 nM rapamycin while only 90% inhibition was achieved by 4 microM FK506. These data demonstrate that FKBP25 has a higher affinity for rapamycin than for FK506 and suggest that this cellular receptor may be an important target molecule for immunosuppression by rapamycin.

Abstract
The 12-kDa FK506-binding protein (FKBP-12) is a cytosolic receptor for the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. Here we report the molecular cloning and subcellular localization of a 13-kDa FKBP (FKBP-13), which has a 21-amino acid signal peptide and appears to be membrane-associated. Although no internal hydrophobic region, and thus no transmembrane domain, is apparent within the 120 amino acids of mature FKBP-13, a potential endoplasmic reticulum retention sequence (Arg-Thr-Glu-Leu) is found at its C terminus. FKBP-13 has 51% nucleotide sequence identity and 43% amino acid sequence identity to FKBP-12; the N-terminal sequences are divergent, but the 92-amino acid C-terminal sequence of FKBP-13 has 46 identical and 20 related residues when compared with FKBP-12. The conserved residues that comprise the drug binding site and rotamase active site of FKBP-12 are completely conserved in FKBP-13. Therefore, the three-dimensional structures of FKBP-12 and the FKBP-12/FK506 complex are likely to be excellent models of the corresponding FKBP-13 structure.

Abstract
Tb(III) was used as a fluorescent probe in the study of the calcium-binding sites on Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). The fluorescence of Tb(III) is enhanced markedly when bound to BSA and nonradiative energy transfer between two fluorescent tryptophan(Trp) residues and Tb(III) bound to calcium-binding sites on BSA occurred. Experimental results show that the major groups in BSA bound to metal ion are the carboxyl side groups of glutamic acid (Glu) and aspartic acid (Asp). The average distance between the bound Tb(III) and the two tryptophan residues in BSA calculated by a Föster dipole-dipole nonradiative energy transfer mechanism is 1.48 nm.

Abstract
To characterize the function of the CD3 eta subunit of the T cell receptor (TCR), we have used cDNAs encoding CD3 zeta, CD3 eta, or both to reconstitute a variant of a cytochrome c-specific, I-Ek-restricted murine T cell hybridoma, termed MA5.8, which lacks CD3 zeta and CD3 eta proteins. We provide direct evidence that assembly and surface expression of TCRs can be mediated by either of these subunits separately or together. However, the level of TCR expression on zeta transfectants is up to one order of magnitude greater than that on eta transfectants, implying that CD3 eta is weakly associated with the pentameric Ti alpha-beta CD3 gamma delta epsilon complex and/or inefficient at salvaging the incomplete TCR from lysosomal degradation. As a component of the TCR, the CD3 eta subunit preferentially forms a heterodimer with CD3 zeta, but is also able to form a CD3 eta-eta homodimer. Crosslinking of Ti alpha-beta CD3 gamma delta epsilon zeta-zeta, Ti alpha-beta CD3 gamma delta epsilon eta-eta, or Ti alpha-beta CD3 gamma delta epsilon zeta-zeta/zeta-eta TCR isotypes with anti-CD3 epsilon monoclonal antibody or a cytochrome c peptide epitope on I-Ek antigen-presenting cells mediates signal transduction resulting in reversible cell-cycle arrest of transfected clones. Given the potential for diversity of signals generated by these functional TCR isotypes and the expression of the CD3 eta gene product in the thymus, CD3 eta is likely to play a role in selection and/or activation of thymocytes during development.

Abstract
In a T cell antigen receptor complex (TCR), the clonotypic disulfide-linked Ti heterodimer is noncovalently associated with the invariant CD3 polypeptides. The latter are composed of three monomeric subunits (gamma, delta, epsilon) and either a disulfide-linked homodimer (zeta zeta) or a disulfide-linked heterodimer (zeta eta). The exact stoichiometry of the Ti-CD3 subunits in a given complex is still largely unknown. Here, we report the presence of a CD3 epsilon dimer in a fraction of the TCR. When TCRs from both human and murine T lymphocytes were immunoprecipitated with monoclonal antibodies against either CD3 epsilon or Ti, a 40-kDa disulfide-linked dimer was coprecipitated with the other TCR subunits from digitonin lysates. Amino acid sequence analysis of peptides obtained by in situ CNBr cleavage of the 20-kDa product blotted to polyvinyl difluoride membranes from reducing/nonreducing two-dimensional gels identified human CD3 epsilon. Assuming this CD3 epsilon to derive from a homodimer, then either some TCRs contain more than one CD3 epsilon chain or several TCRs are covalently associated with one another via their CD3 epsilon subunits. Although it has been suggested that a putative TCR association with CD2 exists under similar conditions to those utilized to detect CD3 epsilon dimers, the CD2 molecule was not coimmunoprecipitated with the TCR by any of a series of anti-CD3 epsilon monoclonal antibodies. In conjunction with the fact that CD2 and the TCR do not colocalize during conjugate formation between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (Koyasu, S., Lawton, T., Novick, D., Recny, M. A., Siliciano, R. F., Wallner, B. P., and Reinherz, E. L. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 87, 2603-2607), we conclude that CD2 and the TCR are not physically associated on the T cell surface.

Abstract
Harmaline and 5-FU were incubated with human retinoblastoma (Rb) cell line SO-Rb50 for 72 hours separately before subjected to sampling, viable cell counting and inhibition rate (IR) calculation. With concentration of 12 micrograms/ml, the IR of harmaline to SO-Rb50 cells was 96.6 +/- 1.98%, and that of 5-FU was 93.5 +/- 0.90%; the 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) was 1.437 micrograms/ml for harmaline and 0.321 micrograms/ml for 5-FU. The fact that Rb cells were sensitive to chemical therapy in vitro, but not in vivo, could be due to the blood-retinal barrier. For effective treatment of Rb, besides attempts at early diagnosis and the search for sensitive drugs, studies of the mode of drug delivery are also important.

Abstract
G proteins are membrane-bound molecules involved in coupling of surface receptors with signal transduction effector systems in multiple cell types including T lymphocytes. Given that mature T cells which lack antigen receptors (CDl-Ti) are refractory to stimulation through CD2 or other accessory molecules, T cell receptor components likely play a critical role in coupling surface receptors with signal transduction effectors. It has recently been proposed that modulation of T cell receptor components with MAbs results in a physical loss or functional inactivation of G protein(s). In view of the importance of the T cell activation process, we herein examined G proteins in untreated or antibody-modulated Jurkat T cells as well as in genetic variants lacking either CD3-Ti or CD2 surface receptors. 43- and 41-kDa G protein alpha chains are ADP ribosylated with cholera (CTX) and pertussis (PTX) toxins, respectively, in wild type and receptor minus cell populations. In the wild type Jurkat cell line as well as in CD3- and CD2- variants, AlF4- can activate the G protein(s) presumably associated with phospholipase C to generate polyphosphoinositide turnover as well as an increase in cytoplasmic free calcium ions. Furthermore, G protein(s) linked to adenylylcyclase, a pathway which inhibits T lymphocyte activation, can be directly activated with CTX in the absence of CD3-Ti or CD2 on the membrane. Importantly, AlF4- can also induce polyphosphoinositide turnover in Jurkat cells whose T cell receptor proteins have been modulated with anti-CD3 MAb. These data provide functional and biochemical evidence that at least certain G proteins are intact in the absence of surface expression of CD3-Ti or CD2 molecules and imply that CD3-Ti desensitization is not singularly due to G protein loss.

Abstract
The CD3 eta subunit of the T-cell antigen receptor forms a heterodimeric structure with the CD3 zeta subunit in thymus-derived lymphoid cells and is apparently involved in signal transduction through the receptor. Here we report the primary structure of murine CD3 eta as deduced from protein microsequencing and cDNA cloning. The mature protein is divided into three domains: a 9-amino acid extracellular segment, a 21-amino acid transmembrane segment including a negatively charged residue characteristic of CD3 subunits, and a 155-amino acid cytoplasmic tail. The NH2-terminal sequences of CD3 eta and CD3 zeta are identical through amino acid 122 of each mature protein but then diverge in the remainder of their respective COOH-terminal regions, consistent with alternatively spliced products of a common gene. The cytoplasmic domain of CD3 eta is 42 amino acids larger than that of CD3 zeta but lacks one of six potential tyrosine phosphorylation sites as well as a putative nucleotide binding site previously identified in CD3 zeta. These structural features presumably account for the difference between CD3 eta and CD3 zeta function and are consistent with the notion that CD3 eta may be an important component of a T-cell receptor isoform(s) during thymic development.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation is an early biochemical event associated with surface receptor triggering in many cellular systems. In T lymphocytes, Ag receptor (CD3-Ti) stimulation results in tyrosine phosphorylation of the CD3 zeta subunit. The tyrosine kinase responsible for this modification after CD3-Ti triggering has not been identified. Here we reported that a 68-kDa T cell membrane-associated protein (pp68) in human Jurkat T cells is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues within 1 min after anti-CD3 mAb addition. This induced tyrosine phosphorylation is detected either by in vivo [32P]orthophosphate labeling of the Jurkat T cells or by in vitro [32P]ATP labeling after immunoprecipitation by antiphosphotyrosine antibody. In contrast, mAb stimulation via CD2 and CD4 structures does not induce phosphorylation of pp68. These data are among the first to provide evidence that CD3-Ti and CD2 activation pathways are distinct. Furthermore, they imply that pp68 is itself a tyrosine kinase and/or is a rapidly phosphorylated substrate of a tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
Chromatin solubility was observed at several concentrations of various cations. Spermine and spermidine precipitated (50%) chromatin at about 0.2 mM, Ca2+ and Mg2+ at about 1-2 mM, and Na+ at about 100 mM. Further increases in cation concentration induced more aggregation, but eventually excess cation increased chromatin solubility so that 50% solubility was observed again at 60 mM Mg2+ and 180 mM Na+. H1 histone was 50% released by 80 mM MgCl2 or 425 mM NaCl. Combinations of MgCl2 and NaCl showed that Mg2+ and Na+ are synergistic in the induction of aggregation in lower concentrations (less than 2 mM) of Mg2+ but antagonistic at higher concentrations, and a similar effect of NaCl on spermidine-induced precipitation was shown below and above about 0.2 mM spermidine. At 5 mM, MgCl2 proved capable of precipitating chromatin depleted of H1 histone, but no concentration of NaCl was capable of doing so. These phenomena can be rationalized by supposing that neutralization of chromatin by any cation (including H1 histone) favors aggregation and also that cross-linking of chromatin fibers by multivalent cations (including H1 histone) is also critically important. The exchange of H1 histone between chromatin fragments was tested in various concentrations of different salts. H1 exchange was correlated with chromatin aggregation rather than with ionic strength and thus appears to depend on fiber to fiber contact. Under conditions where H1 exchanges between chromatin fibers that are permitted to make contact with each other, no H1 exchange occurred between chromatin inside the nucleus and chromatin outside, even though H1 histone is capable of passage through the nuclear membrane.

Abstract
Chromatin fragments produced by mild nuclease digestion were chromatographed on Bio-Gel A-50m to give fractions ranging in size from 0.4 to 30 kilobase pair-DNA. The fragments that were larger than about 8-10 nucleosomes accounted for 80% of the chromatin, and the H1/core histone ratio was constant throughout these fractions. When adjusted to 150 mM NaCl, aggregates precipitated in each fraction, the largest fragments yielding 60% and the smallest 25%. In all of these fractions, after aggregation was induced by NaCl, the H1/core histone ratio in the aggregation-resistant chromatin (S) was 0.7 that in the aggregated chromatin (P). To show that the H1 deficiency and aggregation resistance were not produced by transfer of H1 from little fragments to bigger one, big aggregation-resistant fragments were incubated with little aggregation-prone fragments in 75 mM NaCl for 2 h, and readjusted to 150 mM. The little aggregation-prone fragments retained their aggregatibility after exposure to big aggregation-resistant fragments. By mixing [3H]P with [14C]S and vice versa, incubating at 75 mM NaCl for 2 h, and separating P from S with 150 mM NaCl, it was demonstrated that H1 histone did not equilibrate between S and P. Similarly, mixing combinations of radioactive and unlabeled, big and little, S and P fractions, and fractionating by size after 2 h or more incubation at 75 mM NaCl, it was shown that H1 equilibrates between different S fragments, and between different P fragments, but not between S and P. The distribution of H1 variants between S and P fractions was not correlated with the affinity of the variants for DNA. The order of binding affinities was H10 greater than H1ab = H1c, but the deficits of H1's in the aggregation-resistant S fractions were ranked H1ab greater than H1c greater than H10. It is suggested that chromatin is a mosaic of aggregation-resistant and aggregation-prone regions which differ in H1 content quantitatively and qualitatively.
