Abstract
Src homology 2 (SH2) domains recognize phosphotyrosine-containing sequences, and thereby mediate the association of specific signaling proteins in response to tyrosine phosphorylation (Pawson, T., and Schlessinger, J. (1993) Curr. Biol. 3, 434-442). We have shown that specific binding of SH2 domains to tyrosine-phosphorylated sites is determined by sequences adjacent to the phosphotyrosine. Based on the phosphopeptide specificity and crystal structures, SH2 domains were classified into four different groups (Songyang, Z., Shoelson, S. E., Chaudhuri, M., Gish, G., Pawson, T., Haser, W. G., King, F., Roberts, T., Ratnofsky, S., Lechleider, R. J., Neel, B. G., R. B. B., Fajardo, J. E., Chou, M. M., Hanafusa, H., Schaffhausen, B., and Cantley, L. C. (1993) Cell 72, 767-778). The beta D5 residues of SH2 domains were predicted to be critical in distinguishing these groups (Songyang, Z., Shoelson, S. E., Chaudhuri, M., Gish, G., Pawson, T., Haser, W. G., King, F., Roberts, T., Ratnofsky, S., Lechleider, R. J., Neel, B. G., R. B. B., Fajardo, J. E., Chou, M. M., Hanafusa, H., Schaffhausen, B., and Cantley, L. C. (1993) Cell 72, 767-778; Eck, M. J., Shoelson, S. E., and Harrison, S. C. (1993) Nature 362, 87-91). We report here that replacing the aliphatic residues at the beta D5 positions of two Group III SH2 domains (phosphoinositide 3-kinase N-terminal SH2 domain and phospholipase C-gamma C-terminal SH2 domain) with Tyr (as found in Group I SH2 domains) results in a switch in phosphopeptide selectivity, consistent with the specificities of Group I SH2 domains. These results establish the importance of the beta D5 residue in determining specificities of SH2 domains.

Abstract
There are several factors that contribute to the specificities of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) in signal transduction pathways. While protein-protein interaction domains, such as the Src homology (SH2 and SH3) domains, regulate the cellular localization of PTKs and their substrates, the specificities of PTKs are ultimately determined by their catalytic domains. The use of peptide libraries has revealed the substrate specificities of SH2 domains and PTK catalytic domains, and has suggested cross-talk between these domains.

Abstract
Recently we reported the localization of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) by immunofluorescence to microtubule bundles and the centrosome (Kapeller, R., Chakrabarti, R., Cantley, L., Fay, F., and Corvera, S. (1993) Mol. Cell. Biol. 13, 6052-6063). In complementary experiments we used the recombinant p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase to identify proteins that associate with phosphoinositide 3-kinase and found that phosphoinositide 3-kinase associates with alpha/beta-tubulin. The association occurs in vivo but was not significantly affected by growth factor stimulation. We localized the region of p85 that interacts with alpha/beta-tubulin to the inter-SH2 domain. These results support the immunofluorescence data and show that p85 directly associates with alpha/beta-tubulin. We then determined whether phosphoinositide 3-kinase associates with gamma-tubulin. We found a dramatic growth factor-dependent association of phosphoinositide 3-kinase with gamma-tubulin. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase associates with gamma-tubulin in response to insulin and, to a lesser extent, in response to platelet-derived growth factor. Neither epidermal growth factor nor nerve growth factor treatment of cells results in association of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and gamma-tubulin. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase is also immunoprecipitated with antibodies to pericentrin in response to insulin, indicating that phosphoinositide 3-kinase is recruited to the centrosome. Neither phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity, nor intact microtubules are necessary for the association. Treatment of cells with 0.5 M NaCl dissociates gamma-tubulin from the centrosome and disrupts the association of phosphoinositide 3-kinase with pericentrin, but not gamma-tubulin. Recombinant p85 binds to gamma-tubulin from both insulin stimulated and quiescent cells. These results suggest that the association of phosphoinositide 3-kinase with gamma-tubulin is direct. These data suggest that phosphoinositide 3-kinase may be involved in regulating microtubule responses to insulin and platelet-derived growth factor.

Abstract
The development of inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) is a promising approach to obtaining new therapeutic agents for a variety of diseases, particularly cancer. However, the discovery of peptide-based inhibitors has been hindered by the lack of small peptide substrate sequences (i.e. five residues or less) with which a variety of inhibitor designs could be readily evaluated by replacing the Tyr with natural and unnatural amino acids. These prototypical small peptide inhibitors could then form the basis for designing analogous conformationally constrained, peptide-mimetic or non-peptide inhibitors with improved therapeutic potential. In this study we have identified the best known small peptide substrate for the PTK pp60c-src, which is the parent of the src family of nonreceptor PTKs. This pentapeptide substrate, Ac-Ile-Tyr-Gly-Glu-Phe-NH2, has a Km of 368 microM and Vmax of 1.02 mumol/min/mg when tested utilizing the assay methodology of Budde et al. (Anal. Biochem. 1992, 200, 347-351) after a series of modifications were made to more closely simulate the conditions inside a typical mammalian cell. This substrate was designed from information obtained by Songyang et al. (Nature 1995, 373, 536-539) with a 2.5 billion member combinatorial library of peptide substrates for pp60c-src. A second pentapeptide substrate, Ac-Glu-Asp-Ala-Ile-Tyr-NH2, with a weaker binding affinity (Km = 880 microM) but improved Vmax (1.86 mumol/min/mg), was also identified. This peptide was designed from the pp60c-src autophosphorylation sequence and information obtained by Songyang et al. (Ibid.) and Till et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 1994, 269, 7423-7428) with combinatorial libraries of peptide substrates. These new substrates provide sufficient binding affinities and rates of phosphorylation to be utilized for evaluating the relative effectiveness of various reversible and mechanism-based irreversible inhibitor designs for pp60c-src while appended to easily prepared small peptides.

Abstract
Rho family GTPases appear to play an important role in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, but the mechanism of regulation is unknown. Since phosphoinositide 3-kinase and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate have also been implicated in actin reorganization, we investigated the possibility that Rho family members interact with phosphoinositide kinases. We found that both GTP- and GDP-bound Rac1 associate with phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase in vitro and in vivo. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase also bound to Rac1 and Cdc42Hs, and these interactions were GTP-dependent. Stimulation of Swiss 3T3 cells with platelet-derived growth factor induced the association of PI 3-kinase with Rac in immunoprecipitates. PI 3-kinase activity was also detected in Cdc42 immunoprecipitates from COS7 cells. These results suggest that phosphoinositide kinases are involved in Rho family signal transduction pathways and raise the possibility that the effects of Rho family members on the actin cytoskeleton are mediated in part by phosphoinositide kinases.

Abstract
Reversible assembly of intracellular signaling complexes is, in some cases, mediated by direct binding of a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of one protein to a phosphotyrosine moiety of another protein (Cantley, L. C., Auger, K. R., Carpenter, C. L., Duckworth, B., Graziani, A., Kapeller, R., and Soltoff, S. (1991) Cell 64, 281-302). Using a degenerate phosphotyrosine-containing peptide library, we showed that individual SH2 domains recognize phosphotyrosine in a specific sequence context to provide fidelity in signaling (Songyang, Z., Shoelson, S. E., Chaudhuri, M., Gish, G., Pawson, T., Haser, W. G., King, F., Roberts, T., Ratnofsky, S., Lechleider, R. J., Neel, B. G., Birge, R. B., Fajardo, J. E., Chou, M. M., Hanafusa, H., Schaffhausen, B., and Cantley, L. C. (1993) Cell 72, 767-778). Recently a second type of phosphotyrosine interaction domain (PID) or phosphotyrosine-binding domain (PTB) was discovered in the amino terminus of the SHC proto-oncoprotein (Kavanaugh, W. M., and Williams, L. (1994) Science 266, 1862-1865; Blaikie, P., Immanuel, D., Wu, J., Li, N., Yajnik, V., and Margolis, B. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 32031-32034). Here we demonstrate, using a phosphotyrosine peptide library, that the SHC PID domain preferentially binds to the sequence Asn-Pro-Xaa-phosphotyrosine. This motif is in agreement with sequences at sites implicated in in vivo SHC binding. These results indicate that while SH2 domains predominantly interact with specific residues carboxyl-terminal of phosphotyrosine, the PID domain has high specificity for residues amino-terminal of phosphotyrosine.

Abstract
Platelet stimulation by thrombin leads to the activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3K) and to the production of the D3 phosphoinositides, phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PdtIns-3,4P2) and 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PdtIns-3,4,5-P3). Because changes in the levels of these phosphoinositides correlate with the kinetics of actin assembly, they have been proposed to mediate actin assembly, causing cell shape changes. Wortmannin and LY294002, two unrelated inhibitors of PI 3-K, were used to investigate the role of PI 3-K in platelet actin assembly and aggregation. Both PI 3-K inhibitors abrogated the production of PdtIns-3,4-P2 and PdtIns-3,4,5-P3 in thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP)-stimulated cells. However, neither wortmannin nor LY294002 altered the kinetics of actin assembly or the exposure of nucleation sites in TRAP-stimulated cells. In contrast, PI 3-K inhibitors showed a specific inhibitory pattern of cell aggregation, characterized by a primary phase of aggregation followed by progressive disaggregation. Flow cytometry analysis with the PAC1 monoclonal antibody or with FITC-labeled fibrinogen indicated that wortmannin inhibited the maintenance of the platelet integrin GPIIb-IIIa in its active state. Wortmannin also inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, platelet aggregation induced by the binding of the monoclonal antibodies P256 and LIBS-6 to GPIIb-IIIa. LIBS Fab-induced aggregation also led to the production of PdtIns-3,4-P2. Platelet secretion, as evidenced by the release of preloaded 14C-5-hydroxy-tryptamine secretion or P-selectin up-regulation, was not affected by PI 3-K inhibition. These results demonstrate that the generation of D3 phosphoinositides is not required for actin assembly in TRAP-activated platelets. However, PI 3-K stimulation is necessary for prolonged GPIIb-IIIa activation and irreversible platelet aggregation. PI 3-K stimulation downstream of GPIIb-IIIa engagement may provide positive feedback required to sustain active GPIIb-IIIa.

Abstract
Signal transduction by tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors involves the activation of multiple intracellular signaling pathways. In many cases, this occurs via direct binding of a downstream signaling protein to the phosphorylated receptor via src-homology 2 domains on the signaling protein. In this review of the hepatocyte growth factor receptor c-met, the ability of the amino acid sequence of the receptor to dictate which signaling proteins are activated is described, with particular emphasis on association with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Recent developments that provide new understanding of the mechanisms of downstream signal transduction by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase are discussed, including how these might be involved in the mitogenic, motogenic, and tubulogenic effects of hepatocyte growth factor on renal epithelial cells.

Abstract
CD4 serves as a cell-cell adhesion molecule, with specific affinity for class II MHC molecules, and as a receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral coat protein. Phosphoinositide (PI)-3-kinase and 1-phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)-4-kinase activities were previously found to associate with the CD4:p56lck complex, but the protein responsible for PtdIns 4-kinase activity was not identified. Here we demonstrate that the 53 kDa type 2 PtdIns 4-kinase associates with CD4 using a monoclonal antibody specific for this enzyme. We also show that an increase in PtdIns 4-kinase activity is due to recruitment of the type 2 PtdIns 4-kinase protein to the CD4:p56lck complex after cross-linking with anti-CD4.

Abstract
The molecular interactions of the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain and the N-terminal proline-rich sequence motifs (pro-1 to pro-5) of the SH2 protein Shb with other components were presently characterised. Using a degenerate phosphopeptide library the preferred binding site for the Shb SH2 domain was determined to pTyr-Thr/Val/Ile-X-Leu at positions +1 to +3 relative the phosphotyrosine residue. Experiments with competing peptides and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor mutants with Y to F substitutions in autophosphorylation sites revealed multiple binding sites for the Shb SH2 domain in the receptor. The Shb SH2 domain also binds to in vitro phosphorylated fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1) mainly through position Y776. The receptor experiments suggest that other residues besides the +1 to +3 positions may also be of significance for Shb binding. The pro-4/pro-5 motif of Shb binds in vitro particularly well to the Src, p85 alpha PI3-kinase and Eps8 SH3 domains expressed as GST fusion proteins. However, the GST-SH3 domain fusion proteins tested bind in vitro to peptides corresponding to the pro-1 to pro-5 motifs of Shb with low affinity and selectivity, suggesting that sequences outside the core proline motif may also be important for Shb-SH3 domain interactions. In vivo association between Shb-SH3 domain proteins v-Src and Eps8 was detected by coimmunoprecipitation. PDGF treatment did not affect the association between Eps8 and Shb. The data suggest that Shb is an adaptor protein linking SH3 domain proteins to tyrosine kinases or other tyrosine phosphorylated proteins.

Abstract
Heregulin (HRG) is a pluripotent growth factor that can stimulate the growth of some human mammary tumor cells and the differentiation of others. Two members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family of receptor/tyrosine kinases, p180erbB3 and p180erbB4, serve as receptors for the HRG ligand. While HRG appears to be capable of stimulating the autophosphorylation activity of p180erbB4, the co-expression of p185erbB2/neu with p180erbB3 is necessary for the HRG-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of both of these receptors. On the basis of the sequences surrounding their putative tyrosine phosphorylation sites, we predict that the different HRG-responsive receptors couple to different intracellular SH2 domain-containing proteins. Hence, the different receptors may mediate different cellular responses to the HRG ligand. In the present study we show that HRG beta 1 is mitogenic for erbB3-transfected DHFR/G8 cells, an NIH3T3 mouse fibroblast derivative that over-expresses p185erbB2/neu. HRG stimulated the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into the DNA of these cells with an EC50 of 70 +/- 7 pM. HRG was not mitogenic for parental DHFR/G8 cells that do not express the ErbB3 protein. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, an enzyme believed to be important in cellular growth regulation by growth factors and oncogenes, is predicted to couple to tyrosine-phosphorylated ErbB3. We observed that HRG stimulated the association of PI 3-kinase with both p185erbB2/neu and ErbB3 in transfected DHFR/G8 cells, but not in the parental cell line. We conclude that the ErbB3 protein is capable of mediating a proliferative response of fibroblasts to HRG, and that the activation of PI 3-kinase is an integral part of the growth signaling mechanism.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated in signal transduction and membrane traffic. We have previously shown that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2) stimulates in vitro partially purified brain membrane PLD activity, defining a novel function of PtdIns-4,5-P2 as a PLD cofactor. In the present study we extend these observations to permeabilized U937 cells. In these cells, the activation of PLD by guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) is greatly potentiated by MgATP. We have utilized this experimental system to test the hypothesis that MgATP potentiates PLD activation by G proteins because it is required for PtdIns-4,5-P2 synthesis by phosphoinositide kinases. As expected, MgATP was absolutely required for maintaining elevated phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns-4-P) and PtdIns-4,5-P2 levels in the permeabilized cells. In the presence of MgATP, GTP gamma S further elevated the levels of the phosphoinositides. The importance of PtdIns-4,5-P2 for PLD activation was examined by utilizing a specific inhibitory antibody directed against phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PtdIns 4-kinase), the enzyme responsible for the first step in the synthesis of PtdIns-4,5-P2. Anti-PtdIns 4-kinase completely inhibited PtdIns 4-kinase activity in vitro and reduced by 75-80% PtdIns-4-P and PtdIns-4,5-P2 levels in the permeabilized cells. In parallel, the anti-PtdIns 4-kinase fully inhibited the activation of PLD by GTP gamma S and caused a 60% inhibition of PLD activation by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, indicating that elevated PtdIns-4,5-P2 levels are required for PLD activation. This conclusion is supported by the fact that neomycin, a high affinity ligand of PtdIns-4,5-P2, also blocked PLD activation. Furthermore, the activity of PLD in U937 cell lysate was stimulated by PtdIns-4,5-P2 in a dose-dependent manner. The current results indicate that PtdIns-4,5-P2 synthesis is required for PLD activation in permeabilized U937 cells and strongly support the proposed function of PtdIns-4,5-P2 as a cofactor for PLD. In addition, the results further establish PtdIns-4,5-P2 as a key component in the generation of second messengers via multiple pathways including phosphoinositide-phospholipase C, phosphoinositide 3-kinase and PLD.

Abstract
The binding of erythropoietin (EPO) to its receptor (EPO-R) activates the protein tyrosine kinase JAK2. The mechanism of JAK2 inactivation has been unclear. We show that the hematopoietic protein tyrosine phosphatase SH-PTP1 (also called HCP and PTP1C) associates via its SH2 domains with the tyrosine-phosphorylated EPO-R. In vitro binding studies suggest that Y429 in the cytoplasmic domain of the EPO-R is the binding site for SH-PTP1. Mutant EPO-Rs lacking Y429 are unable to bind SH-PTP1; cells expressing such mutants are hypersensitive to EPO and display prolonged EPO-induced autophosphorylation of JAK2. Our results suggest that activation of SH-PTP1 by binding to the EPO-R plays a major role in terminating proliferative signals.

Abstract
The effect of phosphoinositides on the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) isotypes was investigated. PKC alpha, beta I, beta II, gamma, delta, epsilon, eta, and zeta were expressed in baculovirus-infected insect cells and purified by column chromatography. The calcium-activated PKC isotypes alpha, beta I, beta II, and gamma were not significantly activated by any of the phosphoinositides investigated (phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PtdIns-4-P), PtdIns-3-P, PtdIns-4,5-P2, PtdIns-3,4-P2, and PtdIns-3,4,5-P3) when added in the presence of concentrations of phosphatidylserine that give maximal stimulation. The calcium-insensitive PKC isotypes delta, epsilon, and theta also showed little response to PtdIns-3-P, PtdIns-4-P, or PtdIns-4,5-P2 when these lipids were added in the presence of phosphatidylserine. In contrast, PtdIns-3,4-P2 and PtdIns-3,4,5-P3 caused a 5-15-fold stimulation of these enzymes compared with phosphatidylserine alone. 50% maximal stimulation of PKC epsilon by PtdIns-3,4,5-P3 occurred when this lipid was present at about 1% of the carrier PtdIns-4,5-P2 (about 100 nM). These lipids had little effect on baculovirus-expressed PKC zeta, which was constitutively active. A short chain version of PtdIns-3,4,5-P3, dioctanoyl-PtdIns-3,4,5-P3, activated PKC delta, epsilon, and eta in the absence of other lipids, whereas a short chain version of PtdIns-4,5-P2, dihexanoyl-PtdIns-4,5-P2, did not. Since PtdIns-3,4-P2 and PtdIns-3,4,5-P3 are nominally absent in unstimulated cells and appear within seconds to minutes of stimulation by various cell activators, these lipids could act as second messengers to activate PKC delta, epsilon, or eta in vivo.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4-kinase catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Here we report the first mammalian cDNA clone of a PtdIns 4-kinase (named PI4K alpha). The 2.6-kb cDNA encodes a protein of 854 amino acids that is highly homologous to the recently cloned yeast PtdIns 4-kinase STT4 and is also homologous to a second yeast PtdIns 4-kinase, PIK1. PI4K alpha has more distant sequence homology to the catalytic domains of mammalian and yeast PtdIns 3-kinases and to the yeast Tor family of proteins. It also has a region of similarity to pleckstrin homology domains and a potential ankyrin repeat. Cross-hybridizing messages were detected in all human tissues investigated. The enzymatic properties of the protein expressed in insect cells are characteristic of type II PtdIns 4-kinases (activated by detergent and inhibited by adenosine), and PI4K alpha is recognized by an antibody specific for type II PtdIns 4-kinases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphorylation by protein kinases is an important general mechanism for controlling intracellular processes, and plays an essential part in the signal transduction pathways that regulate cell growth in response to extracellular signals. A great number of protein kinases have been discovered, and the identification of their biological targets is still a very active research area. Protein kinases must have the appropriate substrate specificity to ensure that signals are transmitted correctly. Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of primary sequences within substrate proteins in determining protein kinase specificity, but efficient ways of identifying these sequences are lacking. RESULTS We have developed a new technique for determining the substrate specificity of protein kinases, using an oriented library of more than 2.5 billion peptide substrates. In this approach, the consensus sequence of optimal substrates is determined by sequencing the mixture of products generated during a brief reaction with the kinase of interest. The optimal substrate predicted for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) by this technique is consistent with the sequences of known PKA substrates. The optimal sequences predicted for cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) cyclin B-Cdc2 and cyclin A-CDK2 also agree well with sites thought to be phosphorylated in vivo by these kinases. In addition, we determined the optimal substrate for SLK1, a homologue of the STE20 protein serine kinase of hitherto unknown substrate specificity. We also discuss a model incorporating the optimal cyclin B-Cdc2 substrate into the known crystal structure of this kinase. CONCLUSIONS Using the new technique we have developed, the sequence specificity of protein kinases can rapidly be predicted and, from this information, potential targets of the kinases can be identified.

Abstract
The activation of phospholipase D (PLD) is a receptor-mediated event that has been implicated in signal transduction and membrane traffic in eukaryotic cells. Little is known about the biochemical and molecular properties of signal-activated PLDs, and none has been isolated. Here we report that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) potently stimulates brain membrane PLD activity in vitro in a highly specific manner. PIP2 increases 10-fold the maximal activity of a partially purified PLD with an EC50 of < 0.5 mol %. Other acidic phospholipids, including phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidic acid, are completely or nearly ineffective. Neomycin, a high affinity ligand of PIP2, inhibits membrane-bound PLD but has no effect on the activity of a detergent-solubilized or partially purified enzyme. The addition of PIP2 restores the sensitivity of partially purified PLD to neomycin inhibition, indicating that neomycin blocks membrane PLD activity by binding to endogenous PIP2. These results define a novel function of PIP2 as a cofactor for brain membrane PLD and suggest that PIP2 synthesis and hydrolysis could be important determinants in regulating PLD action in signal transduction and membrane transport.

Abstract
Protein kinases share a number of highly conserved or invariant amino acid residues in their catalytic domains, suggesting that these residues are necessary for kinase activity. In p180erbB3, a receptor tyrosine kinase belonging to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor subfamily, three of these residues are altered, suggesting that this protein might have an impaired protein tyrosine kinase activity. To test this hypothesis, we have expressed human EGF receptor and bovine p180erbB3 in insect cells via baculovirus infection and have compared their autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation activities. We have found that, while the EGF receptor readily undergoes EGF-stimulated autophosphorylation and catalyzes the incorporation of phosphate into the model substrates (E4Y1)n (random 4:1 copolymer of glutamic acid and tyrosine) and GST-p85 (glutathione S-transferase fusion protein with the 85-kDa subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase), p180erbB3 autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation are at least 2 orders of magnitude less efficient. However, p180erbB3 is capable of binding the ATP analog 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine, indicating that the lack of observed kinase activity is probably not due to nonfunctional or denatured receptors expressed by the insect cells. On the basis of these results, we propose that p180erbB3 possesses an impaired intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity.

Abstract
Currently, a central question in biology is how signals from the cell surface modulate intracellular processes. In recent years phosphoinositides have been shown to play a key role in signal transduction. Two phosphoinositide pathways have been characterized, to date. In the canonical phosphoinositide turnover pathway, activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C results in the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and the generation of two second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. The 3-phosphoinositide pathway involves protein-tyrosine kinase-mediated recruitment and activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, resulting in the production of phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. The 3-phosphoinositides are not substrates of any known phospholipase C, are not components of the canonical phosphoinositide turnover pathway, and may themselves act as intracellular mediators. The 3-phosphoinositide pathway has been implicated in growth factor-dependent mitogenesis, membrane ruffling and glucose uptake. Furthermore the homology of the yeast vps34 with the mammalian phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase has suggested a role for this pathway in vesicular trafficking. In this review the different mechanisms employed by protein-tyrosine kinases to activate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and its involvement in the signaling cascade initiated by tyrosine phosphorylation, are examined.

Abstract
Many intracellular targets of protein-tyrosine kinases possess Src homology 2 (SH2) domains that directly recognize phosphotyrosine-containing sites on autophosphorylated growth factor receptors and cytoplasmic proteins, and thereby mediate the activation of biochemical signalling pathways. SH2 domains possess relatively well conserved residues that form the phosphotyrosine-binding pocket, and more variable residues that are implicated in determining binding specificity by recognition of the three amino acids carboxy-terminal to phosphotyrosine (the +1 to +3 positions). One such residue, occupying the EF1 position of the +3-binding pocket, is a Thr in the SH2 domain of the Src tyrosine kinase, but is predicted to be a Trp in the SH2 domain of the Sem-5/drk/Grb2 adaptor protein. Here we report that changing this residue in the Src SH2 domain from Thr to Trp switches its selectivity to resemble that of the Sem-5/drk/Grb2 SH2 domain. Furthermore, this mutant Src SH2 domain effectively substitutes for the SH2 domain of the Sem-5 protein in activation of the Ras pathway in vivo. These results identify a residue that can modify SH2 selectivity, and indicate that the biological activity of an SH2 domain correlates with its binding specificity.

Abstract
Conflicting results concerning the ability of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor to associate with and/or activate phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase have been published. Despite the ability of EGF to stimulate the production of PtdIns 3-kinase products and to cause the appearance of PtdIns 3-kinase activity in antiphosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates in several cell lines, we did not detect EGF-stimulated PtdIns 3-kinase activity in anti-EGF receptor immunoprecipitates. This result is consistent with the lack of a phosphorylated Tyr-X-X-Met motif, the p85 Src homology 2 (SH2) domain recognition sequence, in this receptor sequence. The EGF receptor homolog, ErbB2 protein, also lacks this motif. However, the ErbB3 protein has seven repeats of the Tyr-X-X-Met motif in the carboxy-terminal unique domain. Here we show that in A431 cells, which express both the EGF receptor and ErbB3, PtdIns 3-kinase coprecipitates with the ErbB3 protein (p180erbB3) in response to EGF. p180erbB3 is also shown to be tyrosine phosphorylated in response to EGF. In contrast, a different mechanism for the activation of PtdIns 3-kinase in response to EGF occurs in certain cells (PC12 and A549 cells). Thus, we show for the first time that ErbB3 can mediate EGF responses in cells expressing both ErbB3 and the EGF receptor.

Abstract
ErbB3 is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases and is believed to be a receptor for an unknown ligand. We have tested the possibility that heregulin, a growth factor possessing an EGF-like domain, is a ligand for ErbB3. We have found that the iodinated recombinant EGF-like domain of heregulin-beta 1 (125I-rHRG beta 1(177-244) bound specifically to insect cell-expressed bovine ErbB3 with a dissociation constant of 0.85 nM. Moreover, 125I-rHRG beta 1(177-244) bound to NIH3T3 fibroblasts stably transfected with bovine erbB3 with a dissociation constant of 60 pM, but did not bind to parental cells. 125I-rHRG beta 1(177-244) could be chemically cross-linked to a 170-180 kDa protein in erbB3-transfected fibroblasts, and the cross-linked product could be immunoprecipitated with antibodies specific for ErbB3. Finally, rHRG beta 1 stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of both ErbB3 and endogenous p185erbB2/neu in transfectants but not in parental cells. We conclude that ErbB3 is a receptor for HRG and is capable of mediating HRG-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of itself and p185erbB2/neu in cells that express both receptors.

Abstract
Induced activation of protein tyrosine kinase(s) is a central event in signal transduction mediated via the low affinity receptor for IgG (Fc gamma RIIIA, CD16) in natural killer (NK) cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation may affect the function of several protein directly, or indirectly by inducing their association with other tyrosine phosphorylated proteins. Here, we report that Fc gamma RIII stimulation induces activation of phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3 kinase in NK cells. Phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates from Fc gamma RIII-stimulated NK cells contain PI-kinase activity and PI-3 kinase can be directly precipitated from them. Conversely, a series of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins is coprecipitated with PI-3 kinase from the stimulated, but not from control cells. Analogous results obtained using Jurkat T cells expressing transfected Fc gamma RIIIA alpha ligand binding chain in association with gamma 2 or zeta 2 homodimers indicate that both complexes transduce this effect, although the Fc gamma RIIIA-zeta 2 complexes do so with greater efficiency. Accumulation of phosphoinositide D3 phosphorylated products in stimulated cells confirms PI-3 kinase activation, indicating the participation of this enzyme in Fc gamma RIIIA-mediated signal transduction.

Abstract
Src homology 3 (SH3) domains have been recently shown to bind to proline-rich sequences contained in 3BP1, 3BP2, and SOS. In a recent study we demonstrated that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) associates with the Fyn SH3 domain. Here we show that p85, the regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase, binds directly to the SH3 domains of Abl, Lck, Fyn, and p85 itself. An examination of p85 amino acid sequence revealed two proline-rich sequences in its N-terminal region similar to those present in 3BP1, 3BP2, and SOS. To test whether these sequences mediate the association of p85 with SH3 domains two peptides with amino acid composition corresponding to the p85 alpha proline-rich sequences were synthesized and used in competition assays. Both peptides worked equally well in inhibiting the binding of PI 3-kinase activity and p85 alpha to Fyn SH3 domain, whereas a control peptide had no effect. These results indicate that, as in 3BP1 and SOS, the proline-rich sequences in p85 mediate its interaction with SH3 domains. These results also suggest that the SH3 domain of p85 may "self-associate" with the proline-rich motifs of the same subunit as part of the PI 3-kinase regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
SH2 domains and SH3 domains, found in a number of protein-tyrosine kinases and substrates of protein-tyrosine kinases, provide specificity in downstream signaling. Both of these domains bind to relatively short linear sequences of peptides to provide specific interactions between proteins. The SH2 domains directly bind to phosphotyrosine residues of proteins in a specific sequence context. We have devised a phosphopeptide library technique that allows us to rapidly determine the sequence specificity of individual SH2 domains on the basis of amino acids selected at position +1, +2 and +3 C-terminal of the phosphotyrosine. The optimal motif for 22 distinct SH2 domains has been determined and used to predict likely sites of in vivo interaction. A second phosphopeptide library was devised in which the amino acids N-terminal of the phosphotyrosine were also varied. The residues N-terminal of phosphotyrosine had little influence on binding to the N-SH2 domain of the 85 kDa subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase. These results indicate that for this SH2 domain, specificity is determined by sequences carboxy-terminal of the phosphotyrosine moiety. Knowledge of the specificity of SH2 domains allows predictions about likely downstream targets on the basis of primary sequence of proteins. Some of these predictions will be discussed.

Abstract
CD4 serves as a receptor for major histocompatibility complex class II antigens and as a receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral coat protein gp120. It is coupled to the protein-tyrosine kinase p56lck, an interaction necessary for an optimal response of certain T cells to antigen. In addition to the protein-tyrosine kinase domain, p56lck possesses Src homology 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3) domains as well as a unique N-terminal region. The mechanism by which p56lck generates intracellular signals is unclear, although it has the potential to interact with various downstream molecules. One such downstream target is the lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), which has been found to bind to activated pp60src and receptor-tyrosine kinases. In this study, we verified that PI 3-kinase associates with the CD4:p56lck complex as judged by the presence of PI 3-phosphate generated from anti-CD4 immunoprecipitates and detected by high-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis. However, surprisingly, CD4-p56lck was also found to associate with another lipid kinase, phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI 4-kinase). The level of associated PI 4-kinase was generally higher than PI 3-kinase activity. HIV-1 gp120 and antibody-mediated cross-linking induced a 5- to 10-fold increase in the level of CD4-associated PI 4- and PI 3-kinases. The use of glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins carrying Lck-SH2, Lck-SH3, and Lck-SH2/SH3 domains showed PI 3-kinase binding to the SH3 domain of p56lck, an interaction facilitated by the presence of an adjacent SH2 domain. PI 4-kinase bound to neither the SH2 nor the SH3 domain of p56lck. CD4-p56lck contributes PI 3- and PI 4-kinase to the activation process of T cells and may play a role in HIV-1-induced immune defects.

Abstract
The shc oncogene product is tyrosine-phosphorylated by Src family kinases and after its phosphorylation interacts with the adapter protein Grb2 (growth factor receptor-bound protein 2). In turn, Grb2 interacts with the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras, mSOS. Because several Src family kinases participate in T cell activation and Shc functions upstream of Ras, the role of Shc in T cell signaling was examined. Shc was phosphorylated on tyrosine after activation through the T cell receptor (TCR), and subsequently interacted with Grb2 and mSOS. The Src homology region 2 (SH2) domain of Shc directly interacted with the tyrosine-phosphorylated zeta chain of the TCR. Thus, Shc may couple TCR activation to the Ras signaling pathway.

Although anti-CD4 crosslinking may increase lck activity, the effects of HIV-1 gp120 have been controversial. Activated protein-tyrosine kinases are known to associate with certain intracellular proteins possessing src-homology regions (SH-2 domains) such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase). In this paper, we demonstrate that the CD4:p56lck complex associates with significant amounts of phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase activity. High pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of the reaction products demonstrated the presence of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI 3-P) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI 4-P), thus indicating that PI 3 and PI 4 kinases associate with CD4-p56lck. The p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase was also detected in anti-CD4 immunoprecipitates by immunoblotting with anti-p85 antiserum. Significantly, p56lck binding to CD4 appears to be necessary for the detection of lipid kinase activity associated with p56lck. Also, anti-HIV gp120 and anti-CD4 crosslinking induced a 10-15-fold increase in levels of both PI 3- and PI 4-kinase activity in anti-CD4 precipitates. Stimulation of CD4-p56lck-linked PI kinases by crosslinked HIV-1 gp120 may play a role in HIV-1-induced immune defects.

Abstract
The Src-related tyrosine kinase p59fyn(T) plays an important role in the generation of intracellular signals from the T-cell antigen receptor TCR zeta/CD3 complex. A key question concerns the nature and the binding sites of downstream components that interact with this Src-related kinase. p59fyn(T) contains Src-homology 2 and 3 domains (SH2 and SH3) with a capacity to bind to intracellular proteins. One potential downstream target is phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase). In this study, we demonstrate that anti-CD3 and anti-Fyn immunoprecipitates possess PI 3-kinase activity as assessed by TLC and HPLC. Both free and receptor-bound p59fyn(T) were found to bind to the lipid kinase. Further, our results indicate that Src-related kinases have developed a novel mechanism to interact with PI 3-kinase. Precipitation using GST fusion proteins containing Fyn SH2, SH3, and SH2/SH3 domains revealed that PI 3-kinase bound principally to the SH3 domain of Fyn. Fyn SH3 bound directly to the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase as expressed in a baculoviral system. Anti-CD3 crosslinking induced an increase in the detection of Fyn SH3-associated PI 3-kinase activity. Thus PI 3-kinase is a target of SH3 domains and is likely to play a major role in the signals derived from the TCR zeta/CD3-p59fyn complex.

Abstract
The genome of avian sarcoma virus CT10 encodes a fusion protein in which viral Gag sequences are fused to cellular Crk sequences containing primarily Src homology 2 (SH2) and Src homology 3 (SH3) domains. Transformation of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) with the Gag-Crk fusion protein results in the elevation of tyrosine phosphorylation on specific cellular proteins with molecular weights of 130,000, 110,000, and 70,000 (p130, p110, and p70, respectively), an event which has been correlated with cell transformation. In this study, we have identified the 70-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein in CT10-transformed CEF (CT10-CEF) as paxillin, a cytoskeletal protein suggested to be important for organizing the focal adhesion. Tyrosine-phosphorylated paxillin was found to be complexed with v-Crk in vivo as evident from coimmunoprecipitation studies. Moreover, a bacterially expressed recombinant glutathione S-transferase (GST)-CrkSH2 fragment bound paxillin in vitro with a subnanomolar affinity, suggesting that the SH2 domain of v-Crk is sufficient for binding. Mapping of the sequence specificity of a GST-CrkSH2 fusion protein with a partially degenerate phosphopeptide library determined a motif consisting of pYDXP, and in competitive coprecipitation studies, an acetylated A(p)YDAPA hexapeptide was able to quantitatively inhibit the binding of GST-CrkSH2 to paxillin and p130, suggesting that it meets the minimal structural requirements necessary for the interaction of CrkSH2 with physiological targets. To investigate the mechanism by which v-Crk elevates the tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin in vivo, we have treated normal CEF and CT10-CEF with sodium vanadate to inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. These data suggest that paxillin is involved in a highly dynamic kinase-phosphatase interplay in normal CEF and that v-Crk binding may interrupt this balance to increase the steady-state level of tyrosine phosphorylation. By contrast, the 130-kDa protein was not tyrosine phosphorylated upon vanadate treatment of normal CEF and only weakly affected in the CT10-CEF, suggesting that a different mechanism may be involved in its phosphorylation.

Abstract
Tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides based on the regions of polyoma virus middle t antigen and the platelet-derived growth factor receptor that bind phosphoinositide 3-kinase are shown to activate this enzyme 2-3-fold in vitro. The concentrations of the peptides required to activate the enzyme are at least 10-1000-fold higher than the dissociation constants of these peptides for the individual SH2 domains of the 85-kDa subunit (KD < 100 nM). Doubly phosphorylated peptides are more effective than singly phosphorylated peptides. The results suggest that a fraction of the cellular phosphoinositide 3-kinase has SH2 domains with relatively low affinity for phosphopeptides and that binding of phosphopeptides to these enzymes causes activation. Thus, SH2 domains may be involved not only in recruiting the enzyme but also in regulating activity.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP activates a P2Z-type purinergic receptor (purinoceptor) in rat parotid acinar cells that increases the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration via the entry of extracellular Ca2+ through an ATP-sensitive cation channel (Soltoff et al., Am J Physiol 262: C934-C940, 1992). To learn more about the ATP binding site of the purinoceptor, we examined the effects of several stilbene isothiocyanate analogs of DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid), which block the binding of [32P]ATP to intact parotid cells (McMillian et al., Biochem J 255:291-300, 1988) and blocked the activation of the P2Z purinoceptor. The ATP-stimulated 45Ca2+ uptake was blocked by DIDS, H2DIDS (dihydro-DIDS; 4,4'-diisothiocyanatodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid), and SITS (4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid), but not by DNDS (4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid), a stilbene disulfonate compound lacking isothiocyanate (SCN-) groups, or by KSCN. The potency of the stilbene disulfonates was related to the number of isothiocyanate groups on each compound. Under the experimental conditions, the IC50 value of DIDS (approximately 35 microM), which has two SCN-groups, was much lower than that of SITS (approximately 125 microM), which has only one SCN-group. The inhibitory effects of DIDS appeared to be much more potent than those of SITS due to the kinetics of their binding to the purinoceptors. Eosin-5-isothiocyanate (EITC) and fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate (FITC), non-stilbene isothiocyanate compounds with single SCN-groups, also blocked the response to ATP and were less potent than DIDS. Trinitrophenyl-ATP (TNP-ATP), an ATP derivative that is not an effective agonist of the parotid P2Z receptor, blocked the covalent binding of DIDS to the plasma membrane, suggesting that ATP and DIDS bind to the same site. Reactive Blue 2 (Cibacron Blue 3GA), an anthraquinone-sulfonic acid derivative that is a noncovalent purinergic antagonist, also blocked the covalent binding of DIDS to the plasma membrane. These results suggest that isothiocyanate compounds interact with the ATP binding site of this P2 purinoceptor, and that isothiocyanate groups make an important contribution in determining the effectiveness of the stilbene disulfonate compounds in blocking the binding of nucleotide agonists to this purinoceptor.

Abstract
The protein-tyrosine kinase activity of pp60c-src (c-Src) is inhibited by phosphorylation of tyr527, within the c-Src c-terminal tail. Genetic and biochemical data have suggested that this negative regulation requires an intact Src homology 2 (SH2) domain. Since SH2 domains recognize phosphotyrosine, it is possible that these two non-catalytic domains associate, and thereby repress c-Src kinase activity. Consistent with this model, an isolated Src SH2 domain expressed in bacteria as a GST fusion protein bound in vitro to a synthetic phosphotyrosine-containing peptide modeled on the C-terminal 13 residues of the c-Src tail. Binding was absolutely dependent on phosphorylation of tyr527 in the tail peptide, and was modified by both the length and sequence of the peptide. Competition experiments indicated only a moderate binding affinity between the Src SH2 domain and the phosphorylated tail. A distinct phosphotyrosine-containing peptide previously identified as binding the Src SH2 domain with high affinity stimulated c-Src tyrosine kinase activity in vitro, possibly by competing with the endogenous tail phosphorylation site for binding to the SH2 domain. Indeed, this activation was competitively inhibited by purified bacterial Src SH2 domain. These data provide direct evidence that the c-Src tail has an intrinsic affinity for the Src SH2 domain, and suggest that such an interaction in the intact molecule contributes to maintaining c-Src in an inactive form.

Abstract
We identified a serine/threonine protein kinase that is associated with and phosphorylates phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase). The serine kinase phosphorylates both the 85- and 110-kDa subunits of PtdIns 3-kinase and purifies with it from rat liver and immunoprecipitates with antibodies raised to the 85-kDa subunit. Tryptic phosphopeptide maps indicate that p85 from polyomavirus middle T-transformed cells is phosphorylated in vivo at three sites phosphorylated in vitro by the associated serine kinase. The 85-kDa subunit of PtdIns 3-kinase is phosphorylated in vitro on serine at a stoichiometry of approximately 1 mol of phosphate per mol of p85. This phosphorylation results in a three- to sevenfold decrease in PtdIns 3-kinase activity. Dephosphorylation with protein phosphatase 2A reverses the inhibition. This suggests that the association of protein phosphatase 2A with middle T antigen may function to activate PtdIns 3-kinase.

Abstract
Transfection of primate cells with a 6.4-kilobase murine genomic DNA fragment (called ouabain resistance gene or MOR6.5) has been shown previously to confer ouabain resistance (Levenson, R., Racaniello, V., Albritton, L., and Housman, D. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 81, 1489-1493). The mechanism by which this sequence can transfer ouabain resistance remains unclear. In order to further investigate this mechanism, we determined the full-length nucleotide sequence of MOR6.5. Other than mouse repetitive domains, this DNA does not have significant homology with any coding sequence in GenBank. Although potential open reading frames and polyadenylation signals were found, we were unable to detect an MOR6.5 transcript in CV-1 or COS-1 cells transfected with this DNA, either at early or late times following transfection. We show that in early passages of MOR6.5 transfectants which were under ouabain-selective pressure and still contained MOR6.5 DNA sequence, mRNAs for both alpha 1- and beta 1-subunits of the Na,K-ATPase were amplified approximately 10-fold, compared to parental CV-1 cells. These results suggest that MOR6.5 may rescue the cells from ouabain toxicity by inducing transient up-regulation of the messages for the Na,K-ATPase. This might prolong cell survival on ouabain until mutations in the alpha 1-subunit occur, which permanently reduce ouabain inhibition of the pump (Cantley, L. G., Zhou, X.-M., Cunha, M., Epstein, J., and Cantley, L. C. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 17271-17278). Possible mechanisms for the up-regulation of transcription based on sequence similarities found between MOR6.5 and the 5'-flanking regions of alpha 1- and beta 1-subunit genes are discussed.

Abstract
1. Increasing concentrations of ATP (0.5 microM-300 microM) produced a biphasic increase in intracellular calcium concentration [Ca]i in rat parotid acinar cells, reflecting two distinct Cai responses to extracellular ATP. 2. In the absence of Mg2+ (with 3 mM CaCl2 in the buffer solution), the more sensitive response was maximal at 3-5 microM and was not further increased by 30 microM ATP. This response to ATP was not well maintained and was blocked by ADP (0.5 mM). A second, much larger increase in Cai was observed on addition of 300 microM ATP. This larger effect, which we have described previously, appears to be mediated by ATP4-, and was selectively reversed by 4,4'-di-isothiocyanato-dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate as well as by high concentrations of alpha,beta-methylene ATP. 3. Among ATP analogues, only the putative P2Z agonist, 3'-0-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP distinguished between the two responses. This analogue was at least 10 fold more potent than ATP in stimulating the ATP(4-)-response, but did not evoke the more sensitive response. The agonist potency series for both responses to ATP was identical for other analogues examined (ATP > ATP gamma S = 2-methylthio ATP (a P2y-selective agonist) >> ADP, ITP and alpha,beta-methylene ATP (a P2x-selective agonist)). 4. Although the effect of ATP4- could best be characterized as a P2z-type purinoceptor response, this effect was strongly and selectively blocked by reactive blue 2, a putative P2y-purinoceptor antagonist. Reactive blue 2 may bind to and block P2z purinoceptors since [gamma 32P]-ATP binding to parotid cells was inhibited by this compound. 5. In contrast to the response to ATP4-, the more sensitive response to ATP was potentiated by 2+ reactive blue 2 and was less affected by increases in external Mg2+ and Ca2+.6. Parasympathetic denervation selectively increased the more sensitive response, suggesting that it maybe physiologically regulated.

Abstract
A 6.5-kilobase murine genomic DNA fragment isolated by Levenson et al. (Levenson, R., Racaniello, V., Albritton, L., and Housman, D. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 81, 1489-1493) (called the ouabain resistance gene) has been shown to produce ouabain resistance in primate cells. Preliminary sequence information has revealed no homology with the coding sequence of the Na,K-ATPase. We have introduced this murine sequence into monkey and murine cells in an attempt to characterize its mechanism of action. In our experiments, transfection of this DNA fragment is associated with the low frequency (1 in 8 x 10(5) cells) appearance of ouabain-resistant clones of CV1, COS, and NIH 3T3 cells, an event not seen in control transfections. Characterization of a new clone of ouabain-resistant CV1 cells (called OR8 cells) revealed a 5-fold increase in the IC50 for ouabain inhibition of rubidium uptake and a 10-fold increase in cell survival on ouabain. Although the murine sequence was detectable in Southern blots of ouabain-resistant cells soon after transfection, this exogenous DNA was rapidly lost despite continued exposure to ouabain. Furthermore, we were unable to detect message expression by this genomic sequence in any of the three cell types tested. Instead, we found that all three ouabain-resistant cell lines exhibited point mutations in a domain of the alpha-subunit that has been implicated in ouabain sensitivity (H1-H2). One of these mutations (Asp121-Asn121 in OR8 cells) has been previously reported to cause ouabain resistance (Price, E.M., Rice, D.A., and Lingrel, J.B. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 21902-21906). Other novel mutations in the H2 transmembrane domain were also detected. We postulate that the "ouabain resistance gene" is important in the early selection process on ouabain but that the permanent ouabain-resistant phenotype is due to a stable mutation in one allele of the alpha-subunit of the Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
We investigated the involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase) in the initiation of signal transduction by nerve growth factor (NGF) in the rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cell line. PtdIns 3-kinase catalyzes the formation of phosphoinositides with phosphate in the D-3 position of the inositol ring and previously has been found to associate with other activated protein tyrosine kinases, including growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. Anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates had PtdIns 3-kinase activity that reached a maximum (9 times the basal activity) after a 5-min exposure of PC12 cells to NGF (100 ng/ml). Since NGF activates the tyrosine kinase activity of gp140trk, the protein product of the trk proto-oncogene, we also examined the association of PtdIns 3-kinase with gp140trk. Anti-gp140trk immunoprecipitates from NGF-stimulated PC12 cells had increased PtdIns 3-kinase activity compared to that of unstimulated cells, and larger increases were detected in cells overexpressing gp140trk, indicating that PtdIns 3-kinase associates with gp140trk. NGF produced large increases in [32P]phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and [32P]phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate in PC12 cells labeled with [32P]orthophosphate, indicating an increase in PtdIns 3-kinase activity in intact cells. Using an anti-85-kDa PtdIns 3-kinase subunit antibody, we found that NGF promoted the tyrosine phosphorylation of an 85-kDa protein and two proteins close to 110 kDa. These studies demonstrate that NGF activates PtdIns 3-kinase and promotes its association with gp140trk and also show that NGF promotes the tyrosine phosphorylation of the 85-kDa subunit of PtdIns 3-kinase. Thus, PtdIns 3-kinase activation appears to be involved in differentiation as well as mitogenic responses.

Abstract
PtdIns 4-kinase has been purified 83,000-fold from human erythrocyte membranes. The major protein detected by SDS/PAGE is of molecular mass 56 kDa, and enzymic activity can be renatured from this band of the gel. The characteristics of this enzyme are similar to other type II PtdIns kinases previously described: PtdIns presented in Triton X-100 micelles is preferred as a substrate over PtdIns vesicles, the enzyme possesses a relatively low Km for ATP (20 microM), and adenosine is an effective inhibitor. A monoclonal antibody raised against bovine brain type II PtdIns 4-kinase is an effective inhibitor of the purified enzyme. PtdIns(4,5)P2 inhibits by approx. 50% when added in equimolar amounts with PtdIns; PtdIns4P has little effect on activity. A PtdIns3P 4-kinase activity has also been detected in erythrocyte lysates. Approximately two-thirds of this activity is in the cytosolic fraction and one-third in the membrane fraction. No PtdIns3P 4-kinase activity could be detected in the purified type II PtdIns 4-kinase preparation, nor could this activity be detected in a bovine brain type III PtdIns 4-kinase preparation. The monoclonal antibody that inhibits the type II PtdIns 4-kinase does not affect the PtdIns3P 4-kinase activity in the membrane fraction. The cytosolic PtdIns3P 4-kinase can be efficiently recovered from a 60%-satd.-(NH4)2SO4 precipitate that is virtually free of PtdIns 4-kinase activity. We conclude that PtdIns3P 4-kinase is a new enzyme distinct from previously characterized PtdIns 4-kinases, and that this enzyme prefers PtdIns3P over PtdIns as a substrate.

Abstract
Middle T antigen (MT) of polyomavirus causes transformation by associating with a number of cellular proteins. The association with and activation of two such proteins, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) and pp60c-src, appears to be necessary for transformation by MT. The tyrosine kinase activity of MT-associated pp60c-src is significantly increased when assayed in vitro, and levels of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins are elevated in vivo. Similarly, levels of the PI 3-kinase products phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2] and phosphatiylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] are constitutively elevated in MT-transformed cells. However, the formation of a complete MT/cellular protein complex and the activation of tyrosine kinase are not sufficient to cause transformation, since the transformation-defective mutants 248m and dl1015 associate with all wild-type MT-associated proteins, including PI 3-kinase and pp60c-src, and neither mutant appears to be defective in MT-associated tyrosine kinase activity. Studies presented here compared (i) the amount of PI 3-kinase activity associated with the MT complex and (ii) levels of [3H]inositol incorporation into PI 3-kinase products in cells expressing mutant or wild-type MT. The results show that dl1015 is defective in both assays, whereas 248m is defective only for incorporation of [3H]inositol into PI(3,4,5)P2 and PI(3,4)P3. These findings identify a biochemical defect in the 248m mutant and corroborate previous results correlating transformation and elevated levels of PI 3-kinase products in vivo. In addition, they indicate that PI 3-kinase product levels are affected by factors other than simply the amount of PI 3-kinase activity associated with the MT complex.

Abstract
Reconstitution of the polyoma virus middle T antigen (mT)-pp60-src complex and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase) has been accomplished in vitro with immunopurified baculovirus-expressed mT-pp60c-src and PtdIns 3-kinase purified from rat liver. Both the 110- and 85-kDa subunits of the PtdIns 3-kinase associated with the mT-pp60c-src complex. The association of PtdIns 3-kinase with the mT-pp60c-src complex was dependent on the protein-tyrosine kinase activity of pp60c-src as a kinase-inactive mutant (pp60(295c-src)) still complexed with mT, but the mT-pp60(295c-src)) complex was unable to bind PtdIns 3-kinase. The mT-pp60c-src complex phosphorylated both subunits of PtdIns 3-kinase on tyrosine residues. The immunopurified mT-pp60c-src complex also associated with PtdIns 3-kinase activity from whole cell lysates, and this association was dependent upon the protein-tyrosine kinase activity of pp60c-src. Comparison of 35S-labeled proteins from whole cell lysates which associated with immunopurified mT-pp60c-src and mT-pp60(295c-src) revealed proteins of 110 and 85 kDa as the major peptides dependent on protein-tyrosine kinase activity for association with the complex. In addition, a synthetic phosphopeptide (13-mer) containing sequences conserved between the major tyrosine phosphorylation site of murine polyoma virus mT, hamster polyoma virus mT, and the insulin receptor substrate (IRS-1) specifically blocked the association of the 85- and 110-kDa polypeptides with the mT-pp60c-src complex. The ability to block the association was dependent on the tyrosine phosphorylation of the peptide. Association of PtdIns 3-kinase activity was blocked concurrently. This is the first demonstration that the 110-kDa subunit of PtdIns 3-kinase can associate with mT-pp60c-src. This association in vitro is a step toward understanding protein-protein interactions important in the signal transduction pathway of oncogenic proteins.

Abstract
The receptor for hepatocyte growth factor, also known as scatter factor (HGF/SF), has recently been identified as the 190-kDa heterodimeric tyrosine kinase encoded by the MET proto-oncogene (p190MET). The signaling pathway(s) triggered by HGF/SF are unknown. In A549 cells, a lung epithelial cell line, nanomolar concentrations of HGF/SF induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the p190MET receptor. The autophosphorylated receptor coprecipitated with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity. In GTL16 cells, a cell line derived from a gastric carcinoma, the p190MET receptor, overexpressed and constitutively phosphorylated on tyrosine, coprecipitated with PI 3-kinase activity and with the 85-kDa PI 3-kinase subunit. In these cells activation of protein kinase C or the increase of intracellular [Ca2+] inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation of the p190MET receptor as well as the association with both PI 3-kinase activity and the 85-kDa subunit of the enzyme. In an in vitro assay, tyrosine phosphorylation of the immobilized p190MET receptor was required for binding of PI 3-kinase from cell lysates. These data strongly suggest that the signaling pathway activated by the HGF/SF receptor includes generation of D-3-phosphorylated inositol phospholipids.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF), a mitogen for renal proximal tubule cells, activated the hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt in renal proximal tubule cells (Stanton, R. C., and Seifter, J. L. (1988) Am. J. Physiol. 254, C267-C271). We therefore evaluated the effect of EGF on the HMP shunt enzymes glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD, the rate-limiting enzyme) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Rat renal cortical cells (RCC) were incubated with either EGF or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and then assayed for G6PD and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities. EGF and PDGF increased G6PD activity by 25 and 27% respectively. Although phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), ionomycin, PMA + ionomycin, and 8-bromo-cyclic AMP had no significant effect on the activity, a 5-min preincubation with PMA potentiated the activation of G6PD by PDGF. Growth factor activation of G6PD was also seen in a fibroblast and epithelial cell line. None of the agents affected 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity in the RCC or in the cell lines. Further exploration into a possible mechanism for G6PD activation revealed that growth factors caused release of G6PD from a structural element within the cell. Streptolysin O permeabilization of RCC did not cause significant release of G6PD. However, within 1 min of addition of EGF or PDGF to permeabilized cells, G6PD was released into the cell supernatant. The nonhydrolyzable analog of GTP, guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate), caused a similar release of G6PD. Preincubation with pertussis toxin or guanyl-5'-yl thiophosphate inhibited the PDGF but not the EGF effect. Although the data do not establish a definitive proof linking G6PD release and G6PD activation, these results suggest that they are related. Thus, growth factor stimulation of the HMP shunt likely occurs by a novel mechanism associated with release of bound G6PD.
